Sangeet✨

Mahir's PoV
It's Sangeet night and everyone's been gathered in the Sharma hall for this occasion. The ladies are applying henna on their hands while we boys are just fun-talking sitting beside our respective partners. The elders have decided to spare us alone for this occasion and have settled themselves among the guests.

"Veer man...what are you doing yarr???" Sid points at the pathetic design Veer is doing on Bani's palm with henna.

"Can't you see?? I'm making designs!!!" that idiot snaps while concentrating on his work.

Hearing him Kunal snorts,"Design you call it...??? A badly written 'VEER' with dots all around it...!!!"

Maan joins kunal bhai saying, ""God...!!! Seriously bhai...!!! Even my Ponky's handwriting is better than this!!!"

"Shut up!!!" Veer barks at all of us, "Ye koi mamuli design nhi hein!!! This is art!!! Art of my love...!! And These dot...dot...dots are the symbol of my emotions...!!!" Veer gazes dreamily at Bani's palm totally smitten by his creation while Bani just rolls her eyes yawning pretty big.

Seeing him Adi says mockingly, "What a masterpiece, broh!!!" and we all haul over one another while Veer just gives us silent hiss.

"Honestly Bani??  it's a wonder that you're actually letting him do this to your hand, girl!!" Sara comments giving Bani a pitying look.

Bani replies in bored tone, "Well, I already know his talent, Sara...guess now it's high time the world did too."

"Damn Mann!!! What a kadak beizzati!!!" I crack up over Bella and get an immediate scold from her.

"Mahir!!! You're ruining my mehendi!!!" Bella snaps as the mehendi designer wipes off the spoiled line.

"Opps! My bad, Juliet!" I give her my sweetest smile with a naughty wink and she blushes pink matching her bright pink lahenga.

Meanwhile Veer keeps scowling at his design. Certainly all the taunts have put down his previous spirit. This boy is not okay these days. He seems to be putting a vibrant vibe in front of everyone but I can see him getting effected by little to little things. If it was some old time, he would surely make another moronic statement on what an aristocratic artist he is but here he is sitting with upset face.
I'm not sure if I should talk to Bani about this. What will say to her anyway? She's matured enough to figure out Veer's problems. Plus it won't look good if I go to her and talk about this matter. But yeah... I will definitely talk about this to the one I should.

"Should I make a better design out of this?" after getting done with Bella the mehendi designer asks Bani pointing at the mess Veer has created on her palm.

Bani giving a quick peek at Veer, turns to the designer and speaks smiling at at her palm, "No. Let it be. yeh design dikhne mein jitna kharaab hai, iske peechhe chupa hua pyaar bhi utna hi khaas aur khoobasoorat hai! (as bad this design is looking, the love behind it is just as special and beautiful)"

See....this is the Bani. She might make fun of Veer or his image or even can go full blast on him sometimes, but she would never let his emotions down. And I'm sure whatever the issues are, Bani will definitely get Veer out of them.

Veer shots his head at Bani seemingly astound at her statement while the others start making teasing sounds. I look my sideway and see Mami and Mom staring at Bani with a satisfied smile on their faces. They must have heard her.

Recovering his shock Veer thinks something for a second, then says to Bani seriously, "No. The design looks very bad in your hand. Give it to her, she will fix it."

Bani rolls her eyes scoffing at Veer, "It's okay, Veer. I've tied my life knot with YOU. If I can manage to live with THAT then I guess this poor design can't be any worse, can it??"
