Bani groaned as her head throbbed terribly in the morning.

"Aaahhh...." She complained, holding her head in her arms as she walked up towards the dining table. Before Bani could pull a chair to sit, she was picked up in arms.

"Veeranshu..." She almost complained as he picked her up in his arms as he came running into the house. Just a millisecond after Veer, Sam came up. "Yeh kya hai?" She demanded.

"Kya? Apni biwi ko aise utha nahi sakta kya?" Veer asked her. "Waise, good morning, gharwali."

The regular schedule of the boys to go for exercise before sunrise was on track. Ponky and Daksh were groaning as they showed up after Tapish.

"Veer bhai, aaj toh first day hai, thoda sa chutti de dete." Ponky complained.

"Exactly. Aaj Day 1 hai saal ka, saalon. And what better way to start it than making sure you idiots are on schedule. Kaafi sustaane lage ho aaj kal. Jaao Shukla ko check karke aao." Veer told his brothers. They knew well that they're going to get their side of punishment for getting Bani crazy drunk last night.

"Aaahhh..." Bani complained of headaches. Veer sat on a chair and made Bani sit on his lap. She put her head on his shoulder groaning in pain. "Aisa lag raha hai ki sar phat raha hai mera."

"Hangover bolte hai, sweetheart. Abh jitni handle hoti hai usse itna zyaada piyogi toh hangover bhi utna hi hoga." He teased her with a chuckle.

"Bani bitiya, aap chai pi lijiye. Thoda sa better lagega." Ramesh kaka set a hot ginger tea before her. Bani started sipping the tea. Tapish passed her a table.

"Kuch kha lo phir tablet le lena. It will help the hangover a bit."

"Thank you, Tapish bhai."

He chuckled at her. Balwant and Pawan showed up at the table soon enough. His eyes fell on Bani who was sitting on Veer's lap. He hadn't imagined seeing Adi-Naagin in this form. Bani was sitting there on Veer's lap, wearing his t-shirt as a dress with bed slippers. Veer's one arm resting on her thighs and other around her waist. They looked like a couple so much like that. She didn't seem to complain about sitting on his lap. Balwant couldn't relate her to the same Nageshwari who killed Aakesh.

"Aapka breakfast." Ramesh kaka set her breakfast. The entire Singhania Family had to admit this. Before, Ramesh kaka's eternal favorite was Tapish Singhania. Now Bani had seemed to take the same level as Tapish. That said a lot because Ramesh kaka had seen Tapish grow up. He had worked for Singhanias for a long time. They knew that the family were icchadhari cheel and kept it to himself. The man held affection for the boys whom he had seen growing up before his eyes. But Bani, in her short time span, had become his favorite.

"Thank you, kaka." Bani smiled at him. Or maybe it was the way Bani herself treated the man. He felt affectionate towards her. "Waise, aapki chai na magic hai. Main bol rahi hun."

He chuckled.

"Yeh toh kaka ki specialty hai. Pure ghar ke logo ke hangover ko theek karne waali chai hai inki." Tapish added. Veer opened his flask and Bani took it away.

"Ise toh mere saamne bhi mat lana. Mera sar dard badh jaata hai." She complained.

"Excuse me, yeh mera hai. Meri marzi main piyu. Tumse handle nahi hoti. Main 5 bottle tak handle kar sakta hun." Veer pointed out.

"Please. Mere saamne mat laao ise. Aisa lagta it is going to increase my headache. Ek toh mujhe kuch yaad bhi nahi hai."

"Waise, mujhe apna timetable de do so I'll start working."
