HIS SWEETHEART(COMPLETED)

Part -1

"Tum aazaad ho, tumhein jahaan jaana hain tum ja sakthi ho, you are free to go, sweetheart"

As soon as the words left his mouth, bani could feel a stinging sensation on her chest. She looked at him with shock evident in her eyes.

"Shayad mira sahi keh rhi thi... Mujhe ab us baat ka ehsaas ho raha hain... I am so sorry ki maine tumse zabardasti shaadi ki... I am so sorry ki maine tumhein is rishte main rehne ko force kiya.... I am so sorry.... Par ab main samj gaya hoon. Meri galti ka ehsaas hogaya hai mujhe. Tumhein main is rishte se aur Mrs. Singhaania ki title se aazaad karta hoon. Tum yahi chahthi thi na.... Tum hamesha se chahthi thi ki tum Jay ke saath raho... Main jaanta hoon ki tum mujhpe barosa nhi karti phir bhi main tumhein ek baat keh raha hoon. Aakhiri baar keh raha hoon.... Ateeth main jo hua uska is yug se koi connection nahin hain... Sab badal gaya hain... Jay par main barosa isliye nahin karta kyunki mujhe uske bare main bahut kuch pata hain jo tum nhi jaanti. Main tumhein agar woh sab bata bhi doonga toh bhi tum mujhpe barosa nhi karogi. Main tumse bahut pyaar karta hoon bani.... I can't express it in words. I love you a lot. " Veer said.

Bani felt something being crushed inside her.

"Come" Veer said leading her out of the room.

What is he doing now? What is all this..... And why am I behaving like this... I can't let my emotions take over my mind.... I can't lose this battle.... Ain't he my enemy? No.... He isn't.... he protected her everytime, even after knowing her truth, he didn't ask her a word... He didn't argue, he didn't complain. All he said was "I don't care who you are sweetheart".gosh.... This man is driving me crazy.... He shouldn't have loved me this much. Why is it so difficult to leave him... Why is he bothering me... I should be happy. Right..... But no... I  am not happy. Bani.... Better late than never.... If you go from here today, you will regret. Stop all this bani.... Enough is enough.

Her inner voice said her. Bani stopped veer, keeping her hand on top of his hand.

Veer turned to look at her.

She could clearly see the tears formed in his eyes.

"Ye kya naya khel hain veeranshu? " Bani asked.

"Koi khel nahin bani... Koi khel nahin... " Veer said.

Bani didn't know what was the emotion she felt towards him. But after seeing his good side, she did realise that this guy is not so bad. He doesn't deserve to be hated. He deserves to be loved. He deserves love. But she can't reciprocate what he feels for her. She can't love him but..... But at least she can give the relationship a chance. Right?

"Veeranshu" Bani called softly.

"Kuch kehna tumhein? Jaldi keh do... Agar mera man badal gaya na toh main tumhein kabhi apne se door nhi jaane doonga. Kabhi bhi nhi. Aaj mauka hain tumhaare paas. Jaldi keh do" Veer said.

The man who always teases her, always makes her feel loved and special, always fights with her and how to forget the man who always compliments her for silly things is standing in front of her, he is not the same veeranshu .

"Kyun kar rahe ho ye sab? Maine tumse poocha kuch. Jawab do" Bani said.

"Kyunki tum Mujhse nafrat karti ho bani. Itna nafrat..... Itna nafrat... Jitna main seh bhi nahi pa raha hoon. Each time you said you hate me, I was crumbling down. I wished to see love in your eyes for me. Every time I felt that you are melting, you did something which prooved me wrong. I can't take your hatred sweetheart and I know you can't love me. Bani... I am strong. Strong enough to control my emotions. But at times, I need an emotional support. But.... Leave it.... You won't understand. And I don't want any kind of sympathy. I love you the way you are . I have always loved you and I will continue to love you. But you don't have to do any of these for me. You can hate me. Always....i know you hate me. " Veer said chuckling at last.

Bani fisted her hands and looked on. Did her behavior cause this much damage to him? Did she do a sin by hating him?

Bani closed her eyes, taking a shallow breathe she inched towards him. Taking his hands on hers , she led him to their room. Veer followed her without asking anything. He was tired, tired enough for a fight. He let her do what she want as he know she will leave him soon.

Bani closed the door and turned towards veer.

"Kya hua bani? " Veer asked.

Bani moved forward and wiped away his tears. Veer just kept looking at her.

"So jao. Raat bahut ho chuki hain" Bani said ignoring his question.

"Kya matlab hain tumhara? " Veer asked.

"Main bahut thak gayi hoon aur mujhe aaraam ki zaroorat hain. Aao so jao" Bani said walking towards her side of the bed.

Veer stopped her abruptly and pulled her towards him.

"Kyun kar rahi ho ye sab bani? Chahthi kya ho tum? Kyun mujhe hamesha tadpaati ho tum? Kyun.... Phir bhi kyun nafrat nhi karpaata main tujhse" Veer asked to her.

"Veer.... You really need some rest. We will talk later. " Bani said.

"No bani... I need answers. Why are you doing this bani? Kyu.... Jab main tumhein apne se door jaane de raha hoon toh chali kyun nahin jaati tum? Jao... Aur apni zindagi apni marzi se jee lo" Veer said.

"Mujhe nhi jaana. Mil gaya jawaab? Main nhi jaana chahti. " Bani said.

"Par kyun? Kyun?.... Ek minute... Isliye toh nhi Kyunki tumne abhi tak ham sabko maara nhi and you want to kill all of us" Veer asked.

"Jo galat karta h unhein uska sazaa bhi milta h lekin mera yahaan rukne ki faisle se mere badle ka koi connection nhi h. " Bani said.

"Phir kyun kar rahi ho ye sab? " Veer asked.

"Kyunki... Kyunki.... Mujhe khud nhi pata kyun... Main nhi jaanti ki ye kya rishta hain... Main nhi jaanti ki hamare beech kaunsa connection hain... Whenever I hurt you, you said you love me.... You always stood beside me.... Even after knowing that I am the aadinaagin, you said you don't care.... Why? Why can't you just hate me? If you had hated me, it would have been so easy for me to leave you... But you loved me... Tumne mujhse pyaar kiya... Abhi bhi tum mujhse pyaar karte ho... Bepannah si ishq karke bhi tum mujhe paa nhi pa rahe ho phir kyu karte ho mujhse pyaar? " Bani asked.

"Kyunki ye pyaar hain bani.... Pyaar ek aisa ehsaas hain jo hamare control main nhi hota. It's not in my control. I can't force my heart to hate you. Even if I do so... It won't hate you.... " Veer said looking straight into her eyes.

Do you like the first part? It's a short story. It will end in a few chapters. I will continue only if you want me to do so...

With love,
Kunju...
