"What are you trying to do, sweetheart?" He asked with his signature smirk and within a fraction of a second, he pinned me against the wall. I looked so small compared to his gigantic figure. Water droplets from his hair falling over his face, he le...

"Veeranshu, are you crying?" She tried to lift his face up but he refused to look at her. "Wh--" She was cut off by him and gasped, hearing him.
"I'm afraid that you will leave me, Bani." He said in a broken tone.
"Ansh, what's wrong with you? Why would I leave you?" She asked, holding his face in her palms as he looked up at her.
"I'm not the right person for you. You will hate me once you learn about me." He spoke as his eyes showed some sort fear in them.
"Veeranshu, you--" She paused, seeing Rey who was stirring in his sleep. She patted him gently and he went back to his slumber again. "Let's go to the balcony." She whispered to Veer and arranged the pillows securely around Rey before they walked into the balcony.
"Why Reyansh baby is sleeping here?" Veer asked her.
"He fell asleep when he was playing with me here so I asked Shreya to let him sleep with us tonight." She said, looking at the sleeping baby with so much love and yearning in her eyes which had not gone unnoticed by Veer.
If our daughter was alive, she would have been 6 by now.
"Ansh, tell me now. What happened to you? Why are you behaving differently today?" Bani asked concernedly.
Veer closed his eyes, taking a deep breath and opened them back again. "Can I ask you something?" He asked, taking her hands into his. Bani nodded at him and he continued, "Hmm what would you do if you find out about the person who left you years ago?" He asked cautiously as her facial expression started changing when his question registered in her mind.
"Huh? Why?" She asked, pulling back her hands from his hold and turning away from him. He could see her getting uncomfortable with his question.
"Just tell me, Bani. What would you do when you find out about that person?"
She manifested the signs of intense misery making Veer immediately regret for asking her that question. He opened his mouth to say something but Bani beat him to it. "I don't know, Ansh. I just got tired of waiting for him from the past 5 years. I was in coma for 14 months and I don't know what happened in that period. Maybe he had visited me in the hospital and found out that my child is no more so he must have decided to leave me there. I-I just think so..I'm not sure. Those are just my assumptions. Sometimes, I had also assumed like what if he was not aware of my pregnancy or what if he left me because he didn't want my baby. I just don't know, Ansh. Maybe there is a possibility for me to get raped by a heartless monster, got pregnant and my family threw me out when they found out about it." She let out a painful chuckle and continued, "Anything could have happened in the past but now I'm sure that I don't care and I don't want to know about it anymore." She turned towards him and gave him a warm smile.
