Cheating Hearts | VanixShivika

Chapter 6

She was rushing out when she collided straight into someone and fell on the floor, butt first.

B: Ouch!!!

A: uff!

..

Bani and Annika muttered a quick apology before heading in different directions. Both women bound by professional commitments and broken on the inside by personal relations. Their minds did try to remind them of the work they had committed to but their hearts were cheating against those thoughts, all rationality out of the window.

Bani walked around to the small garden at the very back of the building and sat down with a thud.

B: Aise kyu kaha Veer ne...aur peeche se kon baat kr raha tha? Meri baat tk nahi suni...kissi ne kuch kaha hai usse to clear to krna chahiye...Kahin Veeranshu prank? Nahi nahi....he knows how important today is for me, he will never ruin it for fun..

While these thoughts plagued her mind. Annika stood like an emotion less statue at the fittings room. Everyone gave her a piece of their mind for wasting time this morning but she did not speak a word. Bani's assistant shooed them away. She looked at the girl and was shocked. She looked so much like her boss that anyone could confuse the two.

You!! How could you!!??

A loud noise was heard. A woman barged in, her curls flying everywhere. She marched to Annika.

Girl: Bhabhi...wait! BANI! How could you!? My brother loves you more than his life and you treated him like this? You think cheating is okay? You are shameless...

Annika turned her broken eyes at the girl but had no energy to speak. Her mind still trying to digest all the hurtful things her SSO had hurled at her earlier that day. The lack of response from her irritated the girl and she jumped on her.

Assistant: Hey bhagwan!!

She rushed to find Bani while the girl fixed Annika a punch.

A: Aye! Kuch keh nahi rahi hoon toh tum to saari limits cross kr rahi ho...

Anika came to her senses and twisted their bodies. Now she was on top of that girl. She held her hands. The girl tried to kick herself free but Annika maintained a strong grip.

A: Zyada uchlo mt bandariya wrna aisi dhulai karungi na ki tum yaad rakhogi...

Girl: What is wrong with you! Ye kaisi language hai?! Aur meri dhulai karogi? You cheat-

B: What the hell is happening-...(looks at the girl) Chandini?

Girl (C): Bh-bhabhi?

She stared at Bani and Anika, her eyes wide. The two women looked at each other.

B: How is this possible?

A: O bete ki!!!!?

.....................

Annika, Bani and Chandini sat in Bani's office. Chandini apologized to Annika for confusing her with Bani.

C: Bhabhi, maine bhai ko phone kiya tha..vo nashe me they...aur bohot toote hue se they...he cried bhabhi! Saying you were in a dual relationship and he- Oh god! I cannot even say how sad he was..

B: Wait a second... Annika? What is your boyfriend's name?

Annika's eyes teared up but she said the name.

C: That is guy who said you were cheating bhai as his girlfriend.

The women stared at each other before finally things fell into perspective. Their partners had fallen into a deep misunderstanding.

......................

Veeranshu stared at his phone with a broken look.

V: Waah! Ek phone tk nahi kiya....sorry bhi nahi bolna?

S: Same...mujhe bhi koi message nahi aya..

V: Abey teri Gf hai bs! Meri..meri toh wife hai..agr koi rishta bachana chahegi toh shaadi ka bachayegi na..

S: Shaadi bachani hoti toh mujhse kyun relationship rakhti...tujhse bore hoke hi ayegi hogi mere pass...

V: Saale!! Dedh pasli...hadhiyan pyaari nahi hai?

S: Tu apni dekh...mere ek call pr itne guards aakr khade kr dunga tere samne..

V: Tujhe call krne layak chodega kon?

They glared at each other before Shivaay came to his senses and broke the stare.

S: Hum bhi kya baat kr rahe hai...kiske liye lad rahe hai? Jisne hum dono ko dhoka diya....humare pyaar ko for granted liya aur ab ek call bhi nahi kr skti...

Veer's anger turned into pain again. He punched the wall.

V: Kyu Bani...(whispers)

.........................

A: Mtlb SSO ko galatfehmi hui thi....ho jaati hai...Bani ji aap mere saath Mumbai chalo...hume saath me dekhenge to khud samjah jayenge...

B: Ek toh Bani bolo...we are the same age...so no 'Ji'...and how can you be so forgiving Annika? They doubted us..

A: Pr look at us....pakke pakaye khiladi gaccha kha jayen ki kon konsi hai?

B: Pakke pakaye what? Kya khaye?

A: Khiladi...gaccha!...mtlb nahi pata apko..mai batati hoon....

B: Annika! Ye khiladi nahi hai...humare partners hai jinhone bina koi conversation ke seedha saza de di...

A: (goes sad) vo toh hai...billu ji se ye umeed nahi thi...

B: Mujhe bhi...Mera Veeranshu aise karega...itna impulsive..

Bani held back tears. Annika was also struggling. The girls hugged each other and let out the pain that had ripped their hearts apart.

B: To tum itna jldi...maaf?

A: Mera is duniya me unke siva koi nahi hai...I cannot lose him..

B: Mai bhi mere pati se bohot pyaar krti hoon...I don't want to leave him but itni asaani se maaf bhi nahi krna chahti..

C: (smirks) I know what you both should do...

B: What?

C: Right now! Focus on your professional lives.....Annika you go ahead to the models' room and get ready for the show. Bhabhi aap prep dekho...aaj apne career pr focus kro...rone do dono dosto ko thodi der...

A: Haan!...aur kl ke liye...I have the perfect plan...

She winked and Bani laughed. Their men will have to pay...
