Vani - Snippets

Raabta (2) Last Part

Enjoy! 

Main tumse kuch pooch rahi hoon...sach bataao Veeranshu. Kya tum naaraaz ho mujse? He muttered something under his breath and rolled his eyes before driving off. Bani stood there in confusion and then texted him right away to make sure things were okay between them. Veer decided to go workout to blow off some steam and then texted her letting her know he's fine and was just stressed about something else. The next day Veer picked Bani up from the bus stop to drop her off at Manish's house. Sweetheart yahi gharr hai na? Veer asked. Bani nodded her head and got off his bike. Veer looked over at Manish who was standing on the terrace and waving at Bani. Toh tum muje dus baje pickeup kharsakte ho? Hum shaayad vaapas yahaan hoge uss waqt. I'll text you the location. Veer nodded his head gently while rubbing his thumb nail on the motorcycle handle. She could sense that something was still off, so she stepped closer to him and put her left hand on his right shoulder. Once he felt her soft fingertips on his body Veer sighed and came out of his thoughts. Veeranshu kya hua? Tum kal se khoye khoye lagg rahe ho...bike parr apne stupid jokes bi nahi kiye aur mere liye aaj meri favourite chocolate bi nahi lekhar aaye. Sabh theek toh hai na? Veer straightened his bike and chuckled at her question. Sabh theek kaise hoga? Driver banaakar rakhdiya muje... He muttered under his breath. Bani scrunched her eyebrows and opened her mouth to ask again, however Manish was now behind her and pulling her arm. Hey Bani! Come na! Sabh andhar hi hai. Hey dude. I'm Manish. He held his hand out to shake Veer's hand. Veer looked down at his hand and then back at him and arched his eyebrow. Veeranshu Sinnghania. Bani...I have to go now. Bye. Manish shouted out Boyfriend? Bani tumne bhataaya nahi? Veer's heart began to race thinking about what Bani would say now. He yearned to hear her call him her boyfriend since the first time he laid eyes on her. Nuy nuy...we're just acquaintances. Manish tum bi na...you know main kaise dost rakhti hoon. When Veer looked over and saw Bani giving Manish a side hug his blood began to boil. Of course he understood she wouldn't call him her boyfriend because they never even talked about that yet, but she could have at least said he's her friend. Bye. Veer said while holding back his tears. Bani turned her face to the left to explain that she was just joking but Veer had already driven off by then.

At 10:30 pm Bani was standing in Manish's living room holding a glass of water and glaring at her phone. She had forgotten it at his house while they went for their picnic at the beach and she expected to see several texts from Veer when she came back, but there wasn't a single one. Ms. Sharma main hi drop off kharr deta hoon na?! Manish yelled from the couch where the others were sitting. Bani smiled with her back towards him and replied Nuy Manish...tumne peeyi rakhi hai. I'm sure he'll come...main firse call kharti hoon. Bani excused herself to the bathroom and decided to facetime instead. She was hoping that he wouldn't let the opportunity to see her face slide. After a few rings Veer picked up. What she saw shocked her. Veer? Tum party kharr rahe ho? Aur...beer bi peerahe ho? She asked. Veer smiled wide and took another sip of his beer. He could barely stand up straight and was dancing around the room with his arm around Ponky's shoulder. Main kuch pooch rahi hoon Veeranshu...you said you would pick me up. Aur abh party kharr rahe ho? Her voice was now raising. Veer laughed and moved over to a quiet spot. He fell down on the couch, and hit his head at the back. Veer! Sambhaalke...Bani said, her heart racing. Sweethearttttt...don't worry....voh Manish hai na? Usko boldo...vaise bi...main toh sirf acquaintance hoon....tch...nuy nuy...driver hoon na tumaara? Dost ko door ki bhaat hai... Bani Sharma ka driver Veeranshu Singhania! He burst out in laughter at his joke. Bani stood up gently with tears brimming her eyes. She heard a gentle knock on the door and cleared her throat. Veer...yeh kya kehrahe ho? Maine...maine aisa kabh kahaa? Aur voh acquaintance vaali bhaat....Veer I was joking...main bass dost kehne vaali thi aur fir tum- Veer sat up right and blew Bani a kiss. Muah! Tum jhoot bolte bi kitni pyaari lagti ho? Abh kya...kya faiyda Bani? Main tumaara kuch kuch bi nahi lagta na? Ek hafte ke liye main tumaarein peeche peeche firr raha hoon...kabhi idhar chodna kabhi udhar...baarish mein tumaara intezaar karta hoon...tumaare liye chocolates le aana...sabh kuch kiya....ek bhaar...ek bhaar tumne pooche ke Veer kya...kya tum mere doston se milna chaahte ho? Ek bhaar bi invite kiya uss Manish ki party parr? Nuy...tch...tch...party parr invite karna dhoor...balke yeh bi nahi kahaa ke hum dost hai...aur abh dekho! Wow Bani Sharma wow! Abh apne driver ko phone karr rahi ho? Itne ghante bhaad meri yaadh aayi? Aur yeh jhoote aasu bahaarahi ho! Wow...kya acting kharr leti ho tum Bani Sharma! Jaao apne aashiq ke paas...voh Manish tumaara intezaar kharr raha hoga...aur jhaake hug karro usko. Bani slammed her hand on the counter and flared her nostrils at Veer. Just shutup! Tum theek toh ho? Kya bakh rahe ho?! Tumne meri dost ki itni bezzati kiyi aur firr bi maine tumse dosti kiyi...khule aam tumaare saath kabhi jeep parr aur kabhi motorcyle parr firti hoon...kayi bhaar tumaara wait karte main classes ke liye late hui. Ek bhaar bi maine tume kuch bi nahi kahaa...main tum jaise ladke se dosti karne se pehle sau bhaar sochti lekin nahi...maine tumaare andhar ki achaayi dekhi...aur abh lagg raha hai ke bauhat badhi bhool hogayi. Tumne kahaa ke Manish mera aashiq hai?! Sharam aani chaahiye time Veeranshu Singhania! Aur main kyun introduce karoon? Tum mere kaun lagte ho? Mere boyfriend ho? Husband ho? Ek hafte ke dost ho tum! Itna possessive kyun bann rahe ho?! Veer stood up in anger as well. He saw vase and threw it to the ground before shouting at Bani again. Ha to maine bi galati kiyi jo maine tum jaise ladki ko chaaha! Tumaare liye uss Jai ke haaton se maar khaayi aur office jhaane ke bhavajoot...dad ki maddat karne ke baavajot poora din bass tumaara intezaar karta raha! Aur tum ek chotta sa introduction nahi kharr sakhti thi?! Ek hafte ke liye maine bauhat achi tarrah se dosti banaayi aur bass?! I'm sure aggar voh dhabewala hota toh fir tum ek hi din mein usko boyfriend banaadeti...oh abh samjah...uska bi scene chall raha hai na? Pehle bhataadeti ke tum usko chaahti ho...main peeche hath jhaata. Manish and Jai huh? Once he said that Veer sat back down, breathing in and out slowly. He let his head fall in the realization that perhaps he had said too much and now ruined everything between him and Bani.
