MAKING HER MINE(COMPLETED)

Part seven

Bani opened her eyes lazily and found that she is alone on bed. She looked at the clock and wondered where Veer had gone , that too in early morning.  Bani got up from the bed and saw a sticky note on the mirror. It read that due to some important work, he had to leave early. A good morning was also written at the end. Bani smiled and went to freshen up.

The water drops trickled down her hairs making her kurti wet. Bani cursed herself for not drying it properly and proceeded towards the dressing table. After making sure her hairs is completely blow dried, she put on her eye liner and accessories.

She walked down stairs and saw that Veer had prepared breakfast for her. After having it, she left for office.

************

Anger, frustration, tension and stress. Veer was in a mess. He lost a big project for which he had been working his ass off. Someone had coaxed the investor and he backed off the last moment leaving Veer all baffled. He threw the paper weight on frustation.

He had put his blood and sweat on this project and he couldn't manage to persuade the investors. Veer sighed. He felt disappointed. He felt sad and what not. He have never been in a situation like this before. He felt worst. He needed someone to support him, a shoulder to lean on, an embrace to rest. Bani... He wanted to see her. ASAP.

*************

For bani, the day was normal like any other days. She was drawing a design when she heard the ringtone. A smile crept on her lips on seeing the caller I'd.

"Hey veeranshu... All good? I thought not to disturb you. Hello... Meri aawaaz nhi aa rhi kya... Ek minute... Shayad network kharaab hain... Veer... Hello.... Network shi hain... Veer are you there... Veer kuch toh kaho.... Veer" Bani panicked. It was so unlike veer.

"I need you. Can you please come here" Veer asked after a while.

"Office main hi ho na? " Bani asked. Nothing mattered other than him. He needed her. Bani took her bag and ran out of the office, not before informing her boss. She took a taxi and reached the office. Even if she was his wife, she didn't even once visit the office.

************

"Veeranshu singhania's cabin? " Bani asked the receptionist.

"Mam, may I know who you are... "

"I am his wife. "

"Mam, we need proof " The receptionist said.

"Hey Nitya... It's my bhabi. She is veer's wife. Bhabi... This way" Daksh  said. (Daksh is veer's cousin)

"Daksh... What happened. Veer sounded distraughted. Did something happen? "

"Aap khud hi dekhlo bhabi. Go straight. The last cabin " Daksh said and went away .

*********

"Veer" Bani called on entering the cabin. He was sitting on the couch with his face dipped in his hands. He lifted his face and looked at bani. He looked like he was tired. His eyes were looking a bit droopy. Bani walked upto him and stood in front of him. Veer immediately wrapped his hands around her waist and pressed his face in her stomache.

"Bani... I " Veer started.

"Ssh.... Not now... Just relax " Bani caressed his hairs and muttered sweet nothings.

Veer had a lot in his mind. He wanted to let everything out. But he was tired. Working for something so precious and not getting what we expected, it's a worst kind of feeling.

**************

Bani looked at veer, who was sleeping in her embrace. Banu remembered  how he told her abt the problems. It sure hurt her to see him in pain. But she was happy that she could make him sleep . Bani knew veer was working hard for this project.

Bani jerked when she felt veer moving. Bani looked down and saw him opening his eyes slowly. He took a moment to understand their position. He looked up and found bani looking at him. Veer smiled and apologized for sleeping on her as he thought it would have been uncomfortable for her. As he moved away from her, bani took his hand in hers and pressed it gently.

"Veeranshu.... I am okay. I am fine. You don't need to apologize. And about what happened today.... Veer you know what, when I started my career as a fashion designer, my designs got rejected.... My designs got copied by some of the fashion houses that i had approached for job. I didn't lose hope, I knew I had the potential. I knew I can do it. I didn't give up. Then why would you. I know you have been working hard for this project. But veer.... It's life... It won't go according to our plans always. It's unfortunate that this happened. Veer... Every failure teaches us a lesson. It's not the end. You just lost a project. Think like that. And all the hardwork you had done for this project won't go in vain, don't you believe in yourself? . You can do a lot veer. You have the potential. What if one backed off.... What if one rejected you.... Does that one matter too much ? . Since the time I have seen you , I know how determined you are... About your business, your passion. Veer..... It's not your job, it's your passion. Live it... Dont mourn too much over small loses. Trust me.... Something big is in store for you. When we lose something, we get something big. " Bani said .

"Bani... You know what... You just made me guilty. Uff... Past is past... Thank you so much for coming over, taking care of me and most importantly for making me understand. I know I am a little toooo hard to handle. Thanks for staying by my side "

"Is it a thank you speech? " Bani asked.

"Huh? "

"You are saying me way too much thank yous. " Bani chuckled. Veer smiled leaning closer to her. He hugged her tightly. Bani patted his back.

"Bani... Aren't you hungry? " Before bani could say her stomach growled.

"You got it. Right? . I am starving" Bani said while veer chuckled. He got up from the sofa to place their order through phone.

"Bani..... Biriyani? " Veer asked. Bani nodded excitedly. Veer ordered two chicken biriyanis and black current ice cream for dessert.

The food arrived after a while.
