Bani's POV

Two years later

Life. The most unpredictable concept of the universe.

You never know what's written in your destiny and what would happen next.

It's being two years since we played the game of the demon. The game of devon.
Two years since we lost our friends.

Two years since Veeranshu couldn't walk anymore. His legs were permanently damaged.

It was difficult in beginning. The trauma that we went through was still vivid in our nightmares but slowly and slowly we were trying to get back to our normal.

We knew that the game was still going on but now there were more than 7 million people part of it. Which meant that the game was less dangerous and distributed all across.

I still felt guilty though. But sometimes we have to make difficult choices.

I quit writing after what I did.

Few people thought I became insane and few thought I was trying to promote an upcoming horror story.

The court didn't find any proof against me and the case got over.

Anyways we isolated ourselves from everyone and lived in a small town of Arunachal Pradesh - Zero.

I started working as a librarian in the nearby library and Veer worked from home for a private company.

I did tell him to opt for the offline version but he wanted to stay home. He was still healing from all that happened.

And now I was going to wake my boyfriend. The love of my life.

" Good Morning Love ! ".

I said bringing the breakfast.

" Good morning sweetheart.. "

He said dropping kisses all over my face.

" Ohho.. Someone's really in a romantic mood. "

I said laughing a little.

"Meri sweetheart hein hi itni sundar kya kar sakte hein.. "

He said and I laughed even more.

" Well.. Abb uth jaiye Veeranshu Singhania.. It's time for your breakfast. "

I said and he rubbed his eyes cutely.

I made him sit and he tasted the aloo puri that i had made.

"So how is it..? "

I asked.

"Hmmm.. Thoda namak kaam hein.. "

He said.

"Really?? "

I said and tasted the bite.

"Abb thik hein.."

He said and winked.

"Tum bhi na Veer.. "

I said hitting lightly on his shoulder.

" Bohot kamal ke ho.. Bohot zyada mohhabat hogayi hein tumse.. "

He said completing my sentence and we laughed.

"Woh toh hein... Mera dil sachmuch tumhare pass hein"

I said.

"Ohhoo.. Kya baat hein no denial.. Lagta hein koi subah subah romantic ho raha hein.. "

He said repeating my words.

" I am going... Bohot tang karte ho tum.. "

I said trying to leave when he pulled my hand and pushed me closer.

My head fell on his chest.

" Abb tum itni pyaari pyari batein karogi.. Toh dil, dimag, kidney, liver sab tumko de dunga.. "

He said and I laughed even more.

"Pagal.. "

I said pecking on his lips.

"Tumhara pagal.. "

He said pecking me back.

"Accha abb khana hogaya toh chalo take a bath.."

I said and he nodded.

I made him settle on the wheelchair and we moved towards the bathroom.

In these two years, Veer did feel vulnerable after he lost his legs but he never took out his anger and pain on me. He even tried hiding his pain but just like how he could see all my emotions, even I could.

But at the same time I also knew that he was very grateful for being alive. The game taught us the value of life.

We might not be in a good condition but
We were breathing . We were alive and We were given a chance of healing.

I soon brought him in the bathroom.

I took him to the bathroom which was filled with rose petals and candles.

Veer looked at everything and a smile formed on his face .

"This is so beautiful sweetheart..iss sab ki kya zarurat thi? "

He said.

"Arey zarurat kaise nahi thi.. My boyfriend deserves the best treatment. "

I said with a smile and kissed on my forehead.

"How did I get so lucky to have you in my life? "

He said.

" I ask myself the same question that how did I get so lucky to have you in my life.. "

I said kissing on his cheek.

I slowly guided him into the bathtub as I settled in front of him . I dropped the rose petals on him as he kept smiling.

The fragrance of the flowers and the fragrance of our love both were radiating at the moment.

He then slowly traced a flower petal on my cheek as he continued dropping kisses at my other cheek.

I looked at him and slowly started taking off his shirt . Veer kept looking at me with desire and love in his eyes.

He lightly groaned as I touched his bare chest . I kissed on the crook of his neck as he moved his head back being affected by my touch.

I slowly moved towards him, we were inches apart. Our lips were almost going to touch and he closed his eyes when I suddenly flashed some water on his face.

"BANI..! "

He said cutely and I giggled.

"Kya hua Jaan? "

I said splashing the water again.

"Bohot shararti ho gayi ho nahi.. "

He said pulling me more closer to him.

"I guess.. "

I said and again splashed water but he didn't retaliate.

"So apni haar accepted? "

I asked chuckling.

That's when he pulled me more closer to him.

"Jis haar se tumhare chehre par muskurahat aaye woh haar meri jeet hein.. "

He said and I blushed.

" Karli apni man ki puri.."

He said and water droplets fell from his hair.He tucked my hair behind my ear while tracing his hand on my cheek while amplifying the heat building between us.

"Man main aur bhi kuch ho toh.."

I whispered in his ear and gently suck on his earlobe.

"Toh aapka hukm sar aakhon par.. "

He said with his husky voice.

We keep looking at each other. He slowly traced his fingers on my other cheek and then on my lips. My grip tightened on his torso. I kept looking at him with anticipation. He then kissed me passionately. No matter how many times we kissed, we always poured out our souls when we got lost in each other.

He turned me around and kissed on my back, he then pulled off the strings of my kurti and took it off as it dropped on the floor.

I turned around, my face was heating up . That's the kind of effect he had on me. He kissed on my neck and then kissed on my belly as lifting me up a little.I tried controlling my moan. He then touched one of my bosoms as he sucked on the other.

We further undressed each other leaving no apparel between them.

Veer slowly enters in me as I moaned in pleasure. My hand went in his hair while my legs were wrapped around his waist .

Every time with him felt special. He kept dropping kisses as we moved in sync with each other. Finally we came together and I rested my cheek on his shoulder.

~~~

Some time later

Me and Veer were still seated in the tub with lukewarm water. Veer was slowly massaging my back .

"Bani ek baat kahu.. "

He asked.

"Hmm.. Bolo.. "

I said.

" I think you should no longer be my girlfriend.. "

He said and immediately turned back in shock.

"Wh.. What..? "

I asked being scared.

"Yeah Bani, I think this relationship status is not for us.. "

He said blankly.

"What do you mean? Are you alright? "

I said holding his cheek.

" I am fine and very serious. "

He said calmly.

Tears were forming in my eyes.

" Hey .. Hey sweetheart.. Don't cry.. "

He said wiping my tears.

"Then why are you speaking like this.. "

I said scrunching my nose.

" I... I mean we should get married sweetheart..!"

He said and I got shocked.

"What? You meant that..? "

I asked.

"Yes sweetheart. I want you to be my wife now if you don't have any problem with it.. "

He said and immediately hugged him tightly.

"Of course I don't have any problem. I love you Veer and want you to be my husband. "

I said and that's when I came out of the hug and hit him on his chest lightly.

"Kon aese darake propose karta hein? "

I said and he chuckled.

" Bure ho tum bohot.. "

I said.

"Accha sorry baby.."

He said

"I will not talk to anymore.. "

I said.

"Accha.. Par tum baat nahi karogi toh meri toh jaan hi nikal jayegi.. "

He said and I immediately put my palm on his mouth.

"Kuch bhi bolte ho.. "

I said and he kissed on my forehead.

"I love you sweetheart... "

He said.

"I love you Veeranshu.. "

I said and smiled.

~~~

Few weeks later

Today was a beautiful day. We were finally getting married.

I was dressed in a beautiful red lehenga while he was dressed in a black and golden kurta.

We were smiling as we entered in a small function hall.

We didn't want a grand wedding. We only wanted a small and cozy wedding.

As we entered we looked at our invitees. Aakesh's Dad, Tapish and Meera's parent were present there. We wanted to invite Sister Hillary as well but Ingrid told us she was not keeping well.

Ingrid was the same girl that we met the day we went to meet her. The caretaker appointed by the church.

Me and Veer greeted all of them.
We then went on the mandap. Veer was on the wheelchair and I sat beside him.
Panditji started chanting the mantras
I got up for the varmala.

Meera's mom and Dad handed them over to us.

We exchanged garlands and a smile formed on our faces.

We again settled as Panditji told Veer to fill my hair partition with the Vermilion.
Veer took the Vermilion between his index finger and thumb and I he filled my hair partition.

A tear fell from my eyes with the happiness.

He then tied mangalsutra around my neck and I felt butterflies in my stomach.
We then settled again as the priest told us to get up for the pheras.

The first four pheras I walked behind Veer pushing the wheel chair with one hand and holding his hand with another.

"Abb kanya var ke aage chale gi."

Panditji said and Veer looked a little troubled.

I smiled and then sat on his lap and he looked flustered.

"Humari shadi hein.. Vani ki shadi.. Kuch alag toh banta hein.. "

I said with a smile and Veer's eyed got wet with tears. He kissed on my forehead and we took more three rounds around the holy fire.

We were one in all aspects. We smiled. As flowers were showered upon us.

I told Aakesh's Dad to do my kanyadaan. In span of time we had got very close. He was like a father figure for both Veer and me.

We got up and touched all the elders feets.

They blessed us and our union.

Just like us they had lost alot.

But now all of us were healing each other.We walked out of the function hall as we saw a familiar figure...it was Ingrid.

"Ingrid.. You are here? Glad you could make it but how's sister Hillary? "

I asked.

"I want to talk to both of you.. "

She said and me and Veer nodded.

"Ghar chalke baat kare? "

I asked and she nodded.

~~~

We reached home as the elders went inside and brought the kalash and aalta.
I dropped the kalash with my feet as the rice fell and then dipped my feet in the aalta as I walked in.

They did our arti and put tika on her head.

Everybody had lunch and then they took leave .

Now only me,Veer and Ingrid were left.

"Tell us Ingrid.. What happened. Are you fine? "

I asked.

"Bani, Veer.. Sister Hillary passed away few days ago.. "

She said and we got shocked.

"Oh no.. "

I said and even Veer gasped.

"Why didn't you call us? "

I asked.

"Sister didn't want to interrupt your marriage. She took a promise from me."

She said sadly.

" I al... Also have something else to say.. "

She said nervously.

"What Ingrid? "

I asked.

"The story that sister told you has a missing chapter in it.. ".

She said ..

" What do you mean? "

Veer asked.

" Sister told me this story before passing away. She told me that after Sister sealed the demon. There was someone else who had freed him. Twenty five years before the game restarted due to Karun. A group of five girls. They went to the place to investigate about the evil energy present at the place.After all one of them was a astrologer. "

She said and we got shocked.

"But how is this possible..?"

Veer asked.

" It is possible because all of them died. One by one they got caught in the game of tarot cards. All of them had to choose their destiny. But nobody survived.. "

She said and took a deep breath.

"Only one woman, the astrologer, was the last one left. She came to talk to Sister. She was pregnant at that point of time. She told how all her friends died and how her husband sacrificed his life for her and her child. She was just two weeks due now.Sister told her the same solution which she told you.. ".

She said and we kept listening to her being shocked.

" The woman gave birth to her child and went to complete the ritual but she couldn't make it.. She lost her life in the battle with Devon.. "

She said and a tear left her eyes.

"As all members died, Devon got sealed in the box again and years later Karun again freed him.. And after that you all know everything.. "

She said.

" But why are telling us this now? "

Veer asked.

"Because I have a photo of those five women"

She said and forwarded the picture which shivering hands.

Me and Veer opened it together.
As we opened it, shock took over both of us.

A tear fell from Veer's eyes as I was still horrified.

"Mom.. "

Veer said as a sob left his mouth as he pointed at a lady.

"That's Aakesh's mom.. "

I said pointing towards another lady.
And then I saw the third lady and got more horrified.

She was the same lady that I saw in the church that night. The one dressed in all white.

"I saw her that day in the church.. "

I said panicking.

"That's the woman.. The astrologer..Bhumi Sharma.. "

She said and I felt heavy in my chest.

" Was.. Was that.. My.. My mom... ? "

I said shivering and she nodded.

" Yes.. She recognised you already but she didn't want to make you weak by telling the truth "

She said

"Why did sister tell you all this now then? "

I asked as tears fell from my eyes. I was not abandoned by my parents then. My mom was a saviour.

" Because the fourth lady in the picture is my mom.. "

Ingrid said as tears fell from her eyes as well.

"That me.. Means our Mom's were friends and they lost their lives.. Pl.. Playing the game.. "

I said and fell on the ground. Veeranshu was crying too and I knew why. He always felt that he was the reason his mother left the world. He knew it wasn't exactly true but Balwant's words hurt him deep down.

"I felt you deserved to know the truth.. "

She said lowering her head.

"The game lured Karun and brought you back in the game. It was following a pattern. I wanted to tell you this because today you are starting a new life. And you should make sure this pattern never repeats. Aakesh is no longer with us. You both our United but our children should stay as far as possible from each other. My kids and your kids should never meet.History should not repeat.I got saved because I was away from you all. Similarly we news to save our children. "

She said and we nodded.

"Bu.. But whose this fifth lady? "

I asked.

"I Don't know whose that but it's better we stay as far as possible and not try meeting each other.. "

She said.

"I will take your leave now..Take care "

She said and left.

Me and Veeranshu hugged each other tightly. Tears fell from our eyes.

"Ba.. Bani... I didn't kill her.. The game killed her..The game took her away from me"

He said sobbing.

"Baby I told you.. It was never your fault. Mom loved you alot.. "

I said cupping his face.

"I miss her Bani.. I miss the motherly presence.."

He said.

"Me too Veer.. We never got to experience it.. "

I said crying.

" I can assure you.. You are exactly like her.. "

Veer said cupping my face as well.

"Just like her you are a saviour.. "

He said wiping my tears.

"And even you are just like aunty.. Soft hearted and caring.. "

I said and we joined our foreheads.

"I know our mom's will be smiling at us right now. "

I said.

"Aunty came to meet you then why did my mother didn't come to meet me sweetheart.. ".

He said like a baby.

" Jaan.. Aunty thought she left you in this world with your father but she didn't know he would turn into a monster but my mother knew I had no one that's what I guess she couldn't be at peace. But trust me when I tell you this love our mothers loved us alot.. "

I said and Veer smiled a little.

" I love you sweetheart.. Never leave
me.. "

He said hugging me again.

"I love you too Jaan.. "

I said and he kissed me vulnerably.
I took him to our room decorated with petals and candles.

We got seated on the bed.

Veer kept looking at me with his innocent eyes and I smiled.

I cupped his face and we gave in for a kiss.

The kiss soon turned more passionate.Soon our bare bodies were rubbing against each other. I kept moving in his embrace with just the mangalsutra around my neck and the Vermilion in my hair.

"You are a freaking goddess sweetheart"

He said and kept moving. We were panting, moaning and groaning together.

The darkness of night had a tint of blush seeing the Union of our love.

The silence and the storm that we stored within us was now loud enough for us to sooth each other .

It was time for our love to speak

~~~

After few hours

I was lying on Veeranshu's chest as the moonlight from the window fell on our naked bodies .

Veer kissed on my forehead and kept looking at me.

"Kya hua aese kyun dekh rahi ho? "

I asked softly.

" Soch raha hoon ki-

Andhera kitna bhi kala kyun na ho,
subah ki roshni se har hi jata hein.
Khamoshiyan chahe kitni bhi dooriyan badhade,
Mohhabat ki Vani ko bolne se nahi rok pata hein. "

He said framing each word beautifully and I smiled.

"And I thought I was the shayar.. "

I said and giggled.

"Arey kya kahu mohatarama, lute huye aashiqon ki khasiyat hi ye hoti hein, khambhakt shayar bade kamal ke hote hein.. "

He said and we smiled.

" Ye ashiqui humesha humesha ke liye mera hua.. "

I said and pecked on his cheek.

"Humesha humesha ke liye.. "

He said and kissed on my forehead.

At the end, the voice of love won.
