Bani slowly opened her eyes the next morning. She moved her shoulder slightly as she felt a familiar weight on her. Above her Veer groaned and dug his face further into his chest, a content smile on his face as he inhaled her fragrance. Once she opened her eyes fully Bani smiled and held back her tears. They were so overcome with emotions last night that they cried, hugged each other tight, and eventually fell asleep on the couch. The best sleep either of them had in the last five years. Bani thought to wake him up but couldn't do it. He looked so happy. Like her old Veer. She wanted to stay in this moment forever and never let go of her soulmate again. Veer began to smile even wider and whispered Abhi bi subaah mujse pehle uthke muje checkout karti ho? Bani blushed and began to sit up, but her husband was still just as flirtatous as before and had other plans. He wrapped his arms tighter around her waist and kissed her shoulder. Bani held back her tears. She hadn't felt his lips on her skin for so long.
Veeranshu...utho...koi dekh lega. Bani whispered. Veer opened his eyes and she smiled at his adorable sleepy face. Dekhne de. Paanch saal baadh muje meri sweetheart milli hai. Duniya ko bi patta challe ke Bani aur Veer kabhi alag nahi hosakhte. Bani chuckled at him and caressed his cheek. Kiss cheez ki davaayi khaate ho? She asked as she looked at his rough skin. Veer sighed and laid his head back down on her chest. Tum agaayi ho na. Abhi koi bi davaayi nahi chaahiye. Bani sat up and frowned at him. Veeranshu...main kuch pooch rahi hoon. Veer looked at her and interlocked his fingers with hers. Pehle kaho ke you love me. Bani kissed his shoulder and said with a faint whisper I love you Veer. I love you...I love you...I love you. I've always loved you...I could never leave you again. Tumaare binna kitni beychain thi main...Veer pursed his lips and then leaned into her. Aur kaho ke main sahi tha. I was right that you would admit your feelings. Dekha? Maine ek hafta diya tha, aur tum toh sirf ek hi din mein pigal gayi. Bani pinched his arm and laughed. Abhi bi vaise ke vaise ho. Theek hai. Doosri bhaar main tumaare charm ke vajja se pigal gayi. Pehle jabh maine admit kiya tha ke main tumse pyaar karti hoon, tumpe fida hoon, aur tum mere jeevan saathi ho aur abh...firse...firse main apne jazbaaton ko kaabhu mein rakh nahi paayi. Veer laughed then pulled her into his body. Toh muje toh inaam milna chaahiya. He said with a mischievous smile. As he leaned his lips into hers Bani braced herself and felt her heart beating faster. To this day she felt the swarm of butterflies in her stomach for her Veeranshu.
Mumma! Daddy! Vani shouted as she ran down the stairs with her stuffed bunny in her hands. Bani smiled and spread her arms out wide. Vani jumped onto her and laughed as Bani tickled her tummy. Mumma aap yahaan sogayi? Vani asked. Her mom cleaned her sleepy eyes and wiggled her nose with hers. Hmm. Kyun? She asked. Veer pursed his lips and pinched Vani's cheek. She scowled and pushed his hand away and pouted at her mumma. Maggar apka sarr dukh raha tha...aap yahaan kyun soyyi? she asked with worrisome eyes. Bani smiled back at her caring daughter, then kissed her soft hand. Papa itne late aagaye aur- Veer chimed in. Daant-te daant-te tumaari mumma itni takh gayi ke yahaan hi sogayi. Aur patta hai muje bi nahi sone diya...itne kharaare maarti hai. Apni beti ki tarrah. Bani and Vani opened their mouths wide and furrowed their eyebrows in sync as they glared at him. Veer jumped back and put his hands up. Abh toh double daant khaane paddi gi. Sweetheart aur chotti sweetheart se. Bani laughed and pinched his cheek. Chupp karro. Acha meri baby ko kya kya passand hai breakfast mein? Veer smiled. He wasn't annoyed that Bani wasn't giving him attention right now. His heart melted to see her and his chotti sweetheart so happy right now in each other's embrace. Vani clapped her hands and said Blueberry waffles! Aur...aur strawberry...aur...aur juice! Veer stood up and pulled Vani off. Nuy. Aaj tum doodh peeyo gi. Khall bi nahi peeya. Vani made an eww face at that and jumped back onto her mumma. Nuy...doodh nahi...I hate doodh. Bani smiled at her daughter and laughed. Muje bi doodh passand nahi. I hate drinking it. Veer chuckled and winked at her as he said Lekin muje toh pilaana aatha hai tume. Yaadh hai na sweeheart? He put his finger on his lips and winked again. Bani blushed under his gaze, filling giddy inside that same day he demanded she drink the milk or he'd kiss her.
