"Veer , I am to going to naagmandir today...in the evening around 3:00 maybe... Sometimes may get late too, for return..." bani informed veer about her day- plan , intending not to have him tensed up for her absense in the afternoon.

"May I drop you sweetheart..?" Veer asked bani in a chirpy voice. The fact that bani was sharing her plans with him had already ignited his childlike enthusiasm like always.

"No need...I can go by myself ...it's the naag premise and you cheels have restrictions there right." Bani tried reasoning.

"Nope...no....I can still drop you gharwali...please please.. you can go inside and do whatever you want...I will just wait outside only..." Veer urged her to agree. how on earth veer can miss a ride with his sweetheart , even though it was short he can definitely be content with that.

Finally finding no use in starting an useless argument bani agreed with him while veer mentally danced upon getting an oppurtunity to drop his wife just like typical husbands. he became excited and left for the office , promising to come back at afternoon along with a request to not to go without him as he knew his wife can change her plans anytime . and this made bani chuckle and nod her head.

"pranam pandityan ji" bani greeted the pandityan, who welcomed her with a warm smile as she walked inside the naagmandir . Bani offered her prayers and sat there lost in her own world , naagmandir was the only place that always calmed her brain , mind and soul.

"what happened dear ... is everything alright..?" pandityan enquired a bit worried settling beside bani as she noticed her completely immersed in thoughts.

"huh..? no no....pandityan ji...." bani tried to assure her with a small smile, but failed to convince pandityan who always was a motherly figure for her and had always guided her in the right path . bani let out a sad sigh and tilted herself to pandityan's side and held her hands gently in her palms, confusing pandityan.

"I'm sorry .... i wasn't able to fulfill my duty..... I failed to protect pandit ji..." bani said as tears pooled up in her eyes , threatening to make a flow any time. pandityan looked bani shocked.

"haa... and the worst part." bani let out a mocking laugh at herself. "I was not even able to see things happening around me and kept my eyes and ears closed , blindly trusting a traitor all this while. every now and then , in satyug and in kalyug all I could do was to see my dear ones perish infront of me and I could do nothing to save them. dont know when did i become such a failiure." bani ended as tears made their way down her cheeks not bothering to end their flow gradually making her breaths laboured .

pandityan who was also emotionally distressed upon the memory of her husband was shocked beyond limits as she took in the accusations bani was blaming upon herself.

she had never seen their aadinaagin in such a vulnerable state which made her curse jay for causing so much pain to the people who considered him dear once. she cupped bani's face lovingly, taking her into a warm embrace and assured her of everything being right.

"no dear...never say that again...you are not supposed to blame yourself. if anyone is to be blamed that is aadinaag and not you. even I am at fault , I was supposed to alert you about him on the very day when i found him backstabbing his own clan. but chose to keep mum. i was tongue-tied dear and so is now..... it was the trust you had for him , which made you neglect your doubts regarding jay." pandityan said as she tried inducing courage and strength in bani.

"but now , as you know his deeds , you have to make sure none of his crimes are left unpunished." she said , silently giving her blessings and love to bani.

"he is being caged in the naaglok right now I will make sure that he sees hell and regrets each and every sins he committed." Bani said determined, coming out from the embrace while pandityan flashed a proud smile.
Finally her husband was gonna get justice.

"haa..beta...and i know you have decided to give cheel rajkumar and your marriage a chance and i am proud of your decision. akesh must have been wrong in his approach in satyug but his love was always pure from satyug till kalyug . akesh loved naageshvari and now veeranshu loves bani with his whole heart . if destiny had united you both, definitely there will be an unsaid connection between you two and all you two have to do is, to wait till the time your bond blooms into a beautiful relationship . time definitely will show its miracle but make sure you are also making efforts for this relationship. trust , care and love is the building blocks of any relation , may it be a husband - wife relation or parent- child or brother - sister relation or any others . make sure your relations doesn't fall weak because of the lack in any of these." pandityan said while bani obediently absorbed her words and marked them in her heart.

"Also haa beta, aadinaag is not the permanent saathi of aadinaagin. He may had been in the satyug, but definitely not in kalyug. You know in this birth you are destined with some other and open your eyes to see the truths which is always near you and dear please dont neglect things happening around you again ." Pandityan tried helping bani making sure sapera baba was not in the frame. But decided not to reveal the whole truths as it was bani's responsibility to recognise her original saathi , and hoped that bani would be able to infer something from her hint. She always wondered why the ever so smart aadinaagin takes too much time in understanding things when it was concerned with her relationships .

On the other hand, Bani's mind instantly shifted towards veer .
Whenever the topic of saathi was being mentioned unknowingly her heart took veer's name.

Why ? She herself didn't knew. she had strong feelings for veer, which calmed and comforted her around him but was not sure what to name these feelings with. Bani had an idea that , pandityan knew something about her and veer's relationship , which she was not ready to come clean with .

Bani huffed internally in annoyance ,The topic always made sure to leave bani confused .

wiping her face with her hands and letting out a sigh Bani stood up for leaving after nodding positively as a response to pandityan's advice .

she bend down to touch pandityan's feet requesting her blessings for her upcoming fights against the evil and for the relations she was supposed to work on . and walked out of the place , back to veer who stood waiting outside .
