She could feel someone's rough hands on her arms, and something prickly rubbing against her shoulder. Bani began to slowly open her eyes, having slept for almost six hours now, and blinked rapidly trying to look around the dark room. She looked to the left and saw the moonlight creeping through the open window, and the terrace was filled with lanterns and fairy lights. Bani sighed and threw her head back on the pillow. She knew where she was. Back in her and Veer's bedroom. Mmm...Veer groaned and pushed his face further into her shoulder. Bani glanced over at him and couldn't help but smile. He looked so handsome when he slept, and even innocent as if that were possible for Veeranshu Singhania. A few moments after just gazing at him, Bani came back to reality. She could not become weak, not after staying strong for so long. She sat up right, jerking Veer awake, and then turned on the light from the switch behind the headboard. Veer slowly opened his eyes and smiled wide as she sat there still in her white saree and staring him down with anger.
Abhi bi pattah hai ke light ka switch kahaan hai. Veer joked and stretched his back. Bani noticed that he was sleeping on a chair and felt horrible. She was about to lean forward to help him up, but pulled herself back away from him. As she did, Veer arched his eyebrow and winked at her. Just shutup. Itne din bitaaye tumaare saath unfortanately. Burri yaadein ko mitaane mein waqt lagjaaye ga. Aur ha, yeh matth sochna ke main tumaare saath rehne vaali hoon. You and I are over Veer. Abh please bhagwan ke liye mera peecha chodh do. She stood up and headed for the door, and right when she put her hand on the door knob Veer jumped up behind her and put his hand on the door. Tch tch. Abh tum kaheen nahi jaane vaali. Bani turned her face to the left, their lips merely inches apart. It took everything in her to not kiss him right now. Rokh ke toh dikhaao. Veer put his hand on her waist, pulling her in further to his body. As he trailed his nose along her shoulder Bani closed her eyes and suppressed her moans. Rokha toh hai...he purred in her ear. Bani came out of her thoughts and pushed him back, then tried to open the door but it wouldn't budge. What the hell Veer?! Tum...tum apni shaktiyaan use karr rahe ho! She shouted.
Veer put his thumb on his lip to hide his cheeky smile and nodded his head with wide eyes. Ha? Toh kya hua? Tum bi use karlo. Tum- right then he stopped. Bani lowered her eyes, tears forming in them now. He came up to her and cupped her cheeks and shook his head. I...I'm sorry sweetheart. I forgot...I'm so sorry. Bani please...please vaapas ajaao...I know ke tumne jo kuch bi kiya uski koi vajah hogi. I know ke tum abh bi mujse aur Vani se bauhat pyaar karti ho. Bani looked up when he said Vani and whispered Vani? Veer nodded his head, tears falling down his cheeks now. Vani...humaari Vani. Humaari chotti sweetheart. Yaadh hai maine uss din Navratri pe kya kaha tha? Main Veer aur Bani ko ek kardoonga...Vani...Veer aur Bani ki Vani. Bani smiled and cried happy tears. She turned away from Veer and put her hand on her mouth, trying hard to not cry out loud nor fall on the ground in happiness. Veer came up behind her again and put his hands around her waist and swayed side to side. Voh tumaara bauhat saalon se intezaar karr rahi hai. You're her everything. Rozz tumaari tasveer dekh ke good morning aur good night kehti hai, mothers day parr card banaati hai, birthday parr painting, aur- Bani? She pulled away from his arms and wiped her tears, then turned around and put her hand up.
Bass Veer. Kiss baasha mein samjaaoon? I want to be left alone. I want to live my own life. Tume humaari beti milgayi na? Abh please muje jaane do. I...I don't want anything to do with you or...or her. Veer tilted his head to the side in disbelief. He came up to her and said Vani...Vani uska naam hai. Naam lo uska. Bani cleared her throat and shook her head. Muje koi interest nahi. Veer grabbed her elbows and said Naam lo. Vani. Vani Singhania. Tumaari beti. Vohi beti jisko tumne paanch saal pehle chodh diya. Vohi beti jo rozz baghwan se praatna karti thi ke tum vaapas ajaao. Vohi beti jo tume mujse bi zyaada pyaar karti hai. Vani...say it. Vani. Vani. Vani! Bani squirmed and cried as Veer kept saying her name out loud. Finally she decided to hit him where it would hurt the most. Yes Vani! The same Vani that I didn't want to keep! The same Vani who ruined my life! Your daughter! Tumaari beti jisko main bauhat nafrat karti hoon! I lost my powers because of you! I lost my identity because of you! And when I finally got away I found out that I'm pregnant! Vohi Vani jisne nau mahino ke liye muje kitni takleef di! I hate her and I hate you Veer! Veer's eyes were red with anger now and he raised his hand, then shouted Bani! He stared her down, both silent and in shock, and then gradually pulled his hand back. Bani whimpered and lowered her face in shame, screaming I love her...I love her...forgive me god...in her head over and over again. Don't you dare Bani. I love you...but if you say a single thing about our daughter...toh mujse burra koi nahi hoga. She's my everything...and I can forsake every relationship for her. Even ours. Veer sighed and stepped away now, ashamed by her behaviour as well as his.
