Dil Ki baziyan ~ Game of hearts

Veer weaves a Tale

Bani's POV

"How could you wear this..? "

I asked with a frown on my face.

" I am so.. Sorry Bani.. I didn't want to upset you.. "

He said being worried.

" You have not upset me Veeranshu.. It's just that .. It's just that..

Main nahi chahti tum uski utaran peheno. Pehele hi tumhe zindagi bhar ek aese sathi ke sath rehena padega jisse tumhare bhai ne itna haqdar bhi na samjhe ki woh usse sach bataye, maafi mangna toh phir bhi dur ki baat hein.. "

I said with a scoff as tears were forming in my eyes.

"Bani.. "

He said moving closer.

"Idhar aao.. "

He said making me sit on the bed.

" Veeranshu we should go, you said na ki pooja ka samay ho raha hein.. "

I said trying to avoid the confrontation.

" Pehele ek wada karo... Ki tum mujhse kabhi bhi apne jazzbat nahi chupaogi.. "

He said and I looked at him.

He slowly sat on his knees in front of me on the floor taking my hand into his.
He looked at me for a second checking if I was uncomfortable but that emotion was no where evident on my face.

Somehow I felt comfortable with him.
It's not love but still everything's happening so fast. I mean this comfort is also not something that I built with people so early. It take's time but somehow within a day he was able to break half of my barrier.

It was as if he knew me. All of me.

"Wada karo Bani.."

He said again capturing my attention.

"Par Veeranshu.. "

I was about to say when he cut me off.

"Accha fine, listen to me. Tumhe na ek raja aur do gareeb insaan ki kahani sunata hoon.. "

He said like he was explaining it to a kid.
I am not a kid. I pouted. Like a kid if I must add but I am no kid.

"Main bachi nahi hoonn.. "

I said like a child. He chuckled.

"I know Bani.. Par kabhi kabhi bacha ban jana chahiye. Hum bade cheezon ko complicate kar dete hein aur bache unhi baton ko simple tarike se samjh jate hein.."

He said and I continued hearing.

" Toh kahani ye thi ki ek Raja kayi baar apne rajya main aam aadmi ke roop main ghuma karta tha. Woh kayi din ghuma aur usse baar baar ek gareeb insaan dikha. Jo itna gareeb tha ki woh ek hi kapde roj pehenta, khane ko bhi mushkil se milta tha. Raja ko daya aa gaya. Toh usne ek din uss gareeb ke pass jakar ek Heere ko rakh diye aur wahan se chale gaya.

Gareeb ne jab uss heere ko dekha toh usne kaha ye pathar yahan kisne rakh diya aur uss heere ko bina dekha aur parkhe usne usse nadi main fek diya.
Ussi din wahan nadi ke kinare ek machwara tha, tufan aane ke karan woh kaam nahi kar pa raha tha. Uska pura parivar bhuka tha. Tab uske hath woh heera pada jo uss gareeb ne fek diya tha.
Heere ki chamak dekh kar machware ke man main aaya ki woh uski janch kare.

Woh usse ek sonar ke pass le gaya.
Sonar ne jahan uss heere ko dekha usne machware ko giraftar karwa liya . Kahan ki ye heera toh tumhare pass ho nahi sakta. Tumne zarur chori ki hein.
