Mending Connections

In Evening

Bani was bored by her monotonous schedule. Veer had strictly told her to rest and that's why she was confined in her room.Bani decides to do some office work and starts going through her office files and their latest stats in her laptop. She hears a knock at the door.

Bani - Come in!

Veer enters in her room with a coffee mug in his hand.

Bani -Veer...

Veer - Bani.. Tum ye kya kar rahi ho?

Bani - Akele baithe baithe bore hogayi thi.. Toh socha office ka thoda kaam kar lu.

Veer - Seriously.. (He places the coffee mug on the table).. Abhi band karo usse.. Matlab tumhe apni parwah hein bhi ya nahi..? Aaj hi toh discharge hokar aayi ho aur tum kaam lekar baith gayi.

Bani- Mr. Ex Boss aap shayad bhool rahe hein ki abhi humein kaam ki deadline di jato hein. Aur mujhe yeh file check karke kal tak saare updates dene hai. Upar se ye function ki tayariyon ki wajah se main pehele se late hu.

Veer - Ms Bani Sharma, main aapka Ex boss zarur hu par technically I am still your Boss's Boss's Boss.. I guess... So uss hisaab se it's my order ki tum abhi kaam nahi karogi.

Bani - Tum na sach mein bohot bohot zyada Ziddi ho. Matlab apni baat manwana toh koi tumse sikhe.

Veer- Ms. Bani Sharma. Mujhe laga tha aap mere jazzbaton ki kadr karti hai. Aap toh aisi baaten bol kar mera dil baar baar thod deti hain. (He turns her towards him. Both of them facing each other. He acts like he has been stabbed and hold his chest)

Veer- Uff. Itna dard mein kaise sahunga. (He puts his hand on his forehead, acting to be in pain)

Bani- (starts laughing) Are you sure tumhe ek company mein hi kaam karna hai? Itna drama karte ho ki koi bhi film mein sign ho sakte ho. (She hits him on his hand gently)

Bani- Yahan kaam karke apna acting career barbaad mat karo tum. (She laughs)

Veer- Haan haan sweetheart.Movie ki heroine tum hogi toh ek kya 100 filmein kar loonga mein. Tum milo toh sahi.(he says and a blush crepts on Bani 's face)

Bani - Veer!!

Veer chuckles

Veer - Accha baba.. Nahi pareshan karunga.. Ye lo coffee piyo.. Ghar par sab kehte hein ki meri hathon ki coffee is the best. Chak ke batao kitni sahi hein woh?

Bani takes the mug from his hand as there fingers brush over each other's. They have a eye contact for a second but then they retrace their hands.
Bani takes a sip of the coffee.

Bani -Ummm...

Veer - Kaisi hein?

Bani - Not bad! (She says while still sipping the coffee)

Veer - Ye kaisa compliment hota hein..not bad (He says faking anger like a child that forms a smile on Bani's face)

Bani - Accha Accha batati hu.. (She says with a soft laughter).. It's lovely! Kya hein aapka special ingredient Michelin star chef?

Veer - Bas wohi dhundh, cheeni aur.... Bohot sara pyar (he slowly whispers the last word)

Bani - Tum na pagal ho.. (She says keeping the mug on the table).. Goli maine khayi hein.. Asar tum par dikh raha hein kasam se.

Veer - Abb kya kahu sweetheart..Ishq ne humein nikaama kar diya warna hum bhi aadmi the kamke . (He says dramatically)

Bani - (controlling her smile) Accha abb tum jao.. Mujhe kaam karna hein!
