Veer watched mesmerized as Bani walked down the stairs...

He walked to the bottom of the stairs and held out his hand to her...

Bani hesitated for a moment...
Realizing her predicament Veer smiled understandingly and was about to pull his hand back when Bani placed her hand in his...

Veer couldn't help but smile ear to ear at that gesture of Bani's...

"Veeranshu...Don't read too much into it ok...it's just that this is a +1 party and I don't want to look like a loser coming to the party alone..."
Bani said to him with a straight face making Veer chuckle...

"I'm serious..."
Bani said to him...

"Of course you are..."
He said to her with a smile playing on his lips...

"May I have this dance with you Sweetheart...?"
He asked her as they walked towards the dance floor...

Bani nodded...

"Sweetheart...You will never have to be alone in anything as long as I'm alive..."
He said to her genuinely as he lead her to the dance floor...

Veer smiled with his gaze never leaving Bani as they danced...
Cherishing every smile of her's...enjoying every gesture...

"Why are you smiling at me...?"
Bani asked him...

"I was thinking how much I can relate to this song..."

Faili thi siyaan raatein
Aaya tu subah leke
Bewajah si zindagi mein
Jeene ki wajah leke
Khoya tha samandaron mein
Tanha safina mera
Sahilon pe aaya hai tu
Jaane kis tarah leke..
Veer mouthed as the song played...

"Don't get me wrong...I never hated the darkness in my life...but the light in you made it even more beautiful..."
He said to her smiling...

Bani stared at Veer as they danced...

Kuch toh hai tujhse raabta
Kuch toh hai tujhse raabta
Kaise hum jaane humein kya pata
Kuch toh hai tujhse raabta

He was different from what she had thought of him as...And no matter how hard she tried she couldn't ignore this strange connection that was there between them...

Ab kya hai kehna
Humko hai rehna
Jannatein bhulaa ke
Teri baahon mein panaah leke..

What is this strange connection...?
What was it that kept drawing her to him...?
Why was she feeling like she could trust him with her life...?
Bani thought to herself...

"We haven't had a party like this for ages..."
Monil said excitedly as he danced with his partner...

"Didn't you guys have a bachelor party like a day ago...?"
His partner who was also one of Mayuri's friends asked him...

"Oh yeah...and it was delicious..."
He said grooving seductively...

Bani rolled her eyes while Veer slapped his brother's head lightly...

"Kya bhaiyya...?even you used to be like that only before...cool as cucumber...Aur shaadi ke baad...aap itne boring hogaya ho...bilkul vegetarian khane ki tarah..."
Monil said pouting...

Bani glared at him...

"Mera matlab voh nahi tha..."
He explained to Bani gulping...

"There is nothing wrong with vegetarian food..."
Veer said to him...
