Bani's PoV
"Beta...your luggage??" guard uncle asks me as I park my scooty at the garage.

"I didn't bring anything with me, uncle. I'll leave after sometime." smiling at him I fish out my phone from the bag.

I quickly send a massage to bhai asking him to send the car around Eight and look at main door. The Last time I came to this house was via balcony...two day ago. But this time.....

God knows what's waiting there for me...

I step halfheartedly at the door...then taking a deep breath press the calling bell. It's ten past six. How strange to think that I still don't know what they do at this time.

My heart is doing back flip every passing moment. After passing few more seconds finally the door opens. I smile cautiously at Mishty bhabi saying, "Hi!"

Mishty bhabi looks at me shocked for a second then welcomes me with a broad smile, "Aree...Bani, you!!! Come inside. Mom... Mami...see who came!"

Not bad for a starter...

As I enter farther inside, I see Mom and Sumi ma emerging from the kitchen. This is where my most concern is. I don't know how mom is gonna react this time after knowing what I did to her son. I take another deep breath and walk up to them to take their blessing.

As I touch mom's feet, mom pulls me up and engulfs me into a big warm hug. I immediately relax in her arms smiling in relief.

"Bless you, dear. Why didn't you tell us before that you were gonna come back today??? I'd have sent Veer for you." Mom asks me and I'm overwhelmed by her motherly censure.

I smile at Sumi ma and take her blessing. She too take me into hug smiling.

"Bani...where is your luggage?" Mishty bhabi asks me while coming inside.

"Uhh...I didn't bring any luggage, bhabi." I reply quickly and turn to mom and Sumi ma.

"How are you all???" I ask them smiling.

"We're all doing fine, dear. You tell us, how are you doing? Everything okay there???" Sumi ma asks me.

"Yeah...all good."

"Did you call Veer??? He should've gone to bring you back home. It's a ritual." she says again.

"No Sumi ma, he doesn't know that I'm here. I called him during lunch but he didn't pick up. And you people relax. I didn't come back...so no ritual is being broken, I guess." I say smiling at them but inside my heart sinks thinking about him.

After that day we haven't talked much. I called him a few times but he would aways make it short either replying in monosyllable only or saying he's busy. I also didn't call late night thinking he must be tired...but I can sense he's angry on me. Probably because I didn't talk to him that day.

"You didn't???" Ahana walks down the stairs.

"Umm...no. I just came from my office way and thought to meet you people. I'll go back after sometime." I reply.

My mother-in-law looks at me cautiously, then says, "Fine, you come here, sit first." saying this she makes me sit in the dining table and asks Ahana to bring something to eat.

Sumi ma pours a glass of water and hands it to me. As the water goes down my esophagus, I realize how dry my mouth was till now.

Mom abruptly snaps at me, "So...say what it is."

"Huh?" I'm all blank in mind.

Mom takes my hand into hers and says, "Bani, It's written all over your face that you want to say something. That's why you came here, right? Just talk your heart out and be ease. You're at your own house but acting as if you have been summoned into court for murder crime." mom teases me.

I smile a little. Ahana has already come back with a cup of tea and some barfis.

"I'm sorry." I blurt out finally gathering all my courage.

"But Bani..." Mishty bhabi tries to say something but Mom silences her with her fingers up, then looks at me patiently and says, "okay...continue..."

"I'm really sorry for whatever happened...whatever Veer went through... you all went through...because of me." I gulp the hard lump of my throat, "When I met Veer after all these years, I had noticed that he was nothing like the same before. But I still didn't realise how much damaged has been done untill I came to this house...untill Mahir told me..." I can't stop the pool tears anymore recalling everything, "I'm the responsible one for Veer's suffering. Because of me you lost your son...lost your happiness. I know...nothing I say now will ever bring back the loss I've caused you...but please...I'm really really sorry...please forgive me!!!" and I break down.

Mom comes closer to me holding my hands, "Bani...it was not your fault, dear. You didn't know anything."

"But it is my fault...it happened because of me!!!" I lament into her hands.

"No it Isn't." Mom snaps back at me sternly, "My son is a different individual...you are a different individual. None of you are responsible for the other one's action. Yes...both of you might have been emotionally hurt by the other one but it was not your fault if my son couldn't handle his heartbreak. He's the one sole responsible for his action...just the way you are for your one. Of course your path has not been easier either, has it? But you handled it in your way. Veer Couldn't. Yeah...somewhere we might be responsible for this too. We were too afraid...too hurt to confront him. But anyways...you leave this matter off your shoulder now, beta." mom wipes my face smiling at me.

"It's gone. Like you said...nothing we say now about the past will bring back the loss...! But if we spend the present wisely...it can repair the damage caused earlier. I know you're the right one for my Veer. I can just feel it. The way my Veer showed his love for you that day... that was something new I've ever seen in him. He's changing. I can feel my son coming back again, Bani. I have full faith that you will banish away all the bad omens over my Veer's head." Mom looks at me affectionately.

"How can you be so sure??? What if I fail this time too?" I ask forlornly not quite realising what I'm saying.

"You won't. Because we Won't let you go that easily this time." Ahana puts the tea cup in front of me and sits pulling a chair, "Ha...by the way...we're not gonna leave you today anyway before knowing everything."

"Knowing what?" I look at her confused.

"About Your love story...obviously bhai didn't say everything there that time. Now you tell us...how did you meet...what happend...how you fell in love with your Chuha...! everything...each and every single details." Ahana looks back at me excitedly. Even bhabi, mom and Sumi ma joins her saying, "Yes...tell us!!!"

Oh god 🤦‍♀️

My face lits crimson with a smile. But before I can say or object them...the main door flings open and Veer enters inside with a hot rush. Just at the same time our maid, Rasika aunty was bringing juice....probably for kids. By chance she gets into Veer way. They almost bump with each other but gets spared by luck.

Well not for long...!

"Wo...V...Veer baba...ju...juice..." Rasika aunty starts stammering looking at Veer in immense fear.

Strange..!!!

Since He's back-facing me, he didn't see me yet and neither can I. I get up to go to him but before I can move, I feel a strong grip on my wrist and at the same time I blanch with Veer's growling.

"DID I ASK FOR JUICE??? GET OUT OF MY WAY!!!" and in a fraction of second the two glass of juice is on the floor...glasses shattered into pieces.

Veer stomps upstairs with banging rage while leaving all of us thunderstruck here. Well...maybe not all of us...just me. As few seconds pass, my heart finally comes back to its relatively normal speed and I turn around to see Ahana is still holding my hand.

"What was that about???" I ask totally baffled by Veer's behaviour.

"The usual." Mom sighs sadly.

I gaze at them totally fazed by what they are talking about.

"This is how he's been all these years. Anything that is less than his liking, he will react like this." Sumi ma says staring up at Veer's way.

"It was lot worse before...he would fight with...people...break things everyday... Now he doesn't react like this much often and we also have learnt to stay out of his way when he's like this..." says Mishty bhabi.

I can't think what to say. I've known how short tempered Veer is...but he would never react so badly of anything. He was always someone who would keep a good measure of his actions. But this.........

"I'll be going to the kitchen." I sigh and look down at my hand Ahana holding.

Ahana looks at me taken aback, then realises that she's holding my wrist.

"Oh I'm sorry. Actually you seemed to be going to Veer bhai that time, that's why I stopped you." Ahana adds timidly leaving her grip, "umm...it...might not have been a wise move...!"

I gape at this four people in front of me. They think Veer as that violent!!! Without saying anything I walk towards the kitchen.

I come back with tray of two coffee in my hands. Mom and others look at me puzzled.

"Well...since he has come back from office, I guess he'd like to have some coffee, wouldn't he?" I look at the four ladies determinedly.

"That will be a bit too of bravery act, I guess." Ahana comments sheepishly.

"Can't you wait for some more time??? He'll cool down by then I hope." Mom says trying her best to keep her restless plead at bay.

Bit too of bravery act!
Cool down I HOPE!!!

I sigh looking at them and say as resolutely as possible, "No...the coffee will get cold by then!" and walk towards the stairs.

Just then Mahir jiju enters and wolf whistles at me, "Wohhh Madam! You came back???"

I halt at my track and reply, "No. Just came to meet you people. And yes...it's nice to meet you too."

"Aish!!!! Always in snarky mood, huh???" Mahir laughs and I roll my eyes, "Ahh...by the way, ladies...Veer is in bad mood today. So When he comes...." Mahir adds but I cut him.

"He's already come. And...about his mood...yes...here!" I point at Rasika aunty where she was cleaning the broken mess.

"Opps...! Did he see you???" Mahir asks me.

"No. Did anything happen in the office??? Why is he in such rusty mood?" I ask Mahir.

"Well...he has been quite in pissed mood for the the last two days, courtesy to you of course...! And yes...there has been some mess in the office too." Mahir reply.

Oh....

I step upstairs when Mahir calls me again, "You're going to him???"

Me: Of course! Where else?

"You think that's a good idea...???" Mahir trails and I roll my eyes.

Seriously!!! Even Mahir too!!!

"Don't worry, jiju. See this two mugs." I point at the tray I'm holding, "...if he dares to break this one...then I'll for sure pour the other one over his gorgeous donkey-head." saying this I give him a smug smile.

Mahir laughs as well as the others behind me.

"Well...judging by your confidence...I'm sure you Won't be needing the second mug. So I'm taking that." winking at me Mahir picks up a coffee mug.

What the....😮

"Ya...Jiju!!! That was mine!!!😐" I yammer looking at him angrily.

"So...??? even your boyfriend aka husband has taken away my maggi so many times because of you...did I ever complain???" that fucker smirks at me evilly.

"I'll get you later for this...!!!" Saying this I stomp upstairs to Veer's room when I hear Mahir saying behind me, "with all pleasure, mam!!!"

Idiot!!!

I knock the door before opening it. And as soon as I open a paper book flung falls at my feet. Veer is sitting on the sofa. I look at him... He looks back showing his ultimate irritation at this sudden invasion of his lone time but as soon as his eyes meet mine his expression changes to shocked to soft to somewhere confused whether to still be angry or let his glee out seeing me here.

"Uff!!! Itna gussa!!! Kahi chuha kisi sher ki nak mein to nhi ghus gaya tha na...!" I asks in mock seriousness.

Veer glares at me for my taunt and clenches his fist around the flower vase on sofa table.

"Dare you throw that, Veer!!!" I warn looking straight at his eyes and Veer leaves that vase immediately. I enter inside. The room is filled with faint smell of him. Why sniff the air when I have full decanter for myself??? I put the tray on the table and directly sit on his lap taking him by surprise.

Wrapping my arms around his neck I look at this angry handsome husband of mine. Tie loosened...Hair disheveled...brows frowned...eyes squinted trying to gauge his wife's motive... Half-hardened jaw...failing miserably to stay as much angry as he plans to be. A perfect view of interest. My face automatically splits into a blissful grin as I hide my face into the crook of his neck filling my nose and lungs with his heavenly smell.

Veer immediately stiffens as I hear his sharp intake of breath.

"What are you doing, Bani???" he asks me stiffly.

Oww...playing hard to get, are we Mr??

"Just Laid myself in your skillful hands, baby...!" drawing fingers at his jawline I try some seduction but looks like I suck at it.

"Look Bani....right now I'm in no mood for this." Veer sighs pointedly confirming that I really DID suck.🙆‍♀️

"Fine...! Then throw me." I spat.

"What???" Veer looks at me totally baffled.

"I said throw me. I laid myself to you and you said you're in no mood of this...Then do what your mood is at...! Throwing stuffs, right??? Plus I see you have been quite angry on me these days too. That's why I'm saying just throw me with all your might and take a breath for God's sake." I roll my eyes at him playfully.

"You're not some stuff, Bani. You are my life...the only living part of mine. I'd rather have thousand death before hurting you in any way." there is no trace of playfulness in his eyes.

Veer wraps his arms around my waist gingerly as if protecting me from falling down. My heart swells at his sincerity. Why is he so overwhelmingly adorable!!!

"Wow...so much love! I'm floored, Mr Singhania!!!" I say lightly trying to cover the unbidden emotions that is threatening to come out through my eyes.

"Hmm...hmm... Not like you, Mrs Singhania. That always ship your love in the name of anger!!!" Veer turns his face away sulking.

"Aree...I'm a woman yarr!!! It's my primitive right to be angry on my husband for no reason at all." I scoff feigning offended as if he's missing the obvious and just then I'm rewarded by a thin line of smile in lips lips.

"See...hasa to fasa!!!" I clap my hands together trying to contain my glee.

Veer's mouth twitches again as he says, "For your information, I'm still angry!" but his eyes holds amusement.

"I can see that husband." I snort, "And leaving my part Out, what exactly happened in the office that you are this angry???"

"Nothing leave it." Veer shakes his head.

I again put my arms around him and say, "I'll leave it when you leave it. Now tell me what happened."

Veer stares at my stubborn gaze for a few seconds, then sighs, "There has some problem occured with the dealers. They are making it delay shipping the cargoes and here are the clients getting on my nerve with their absurd terms and conditions. I'm feeling like destroying everything!!!" Veer looks away in detest while his grip on my waist hardens.

"Hmm..." I nod understanding, "so...what are you planning to do now???"

"Nothing specific. I've threatened them to cancel all the contracts today... much to my dad's displeasure. Rest I don't care." saying this Veer sinks in deep thought.

I think for a second and idea hits me, "Idea!!!" I shake Veer looking at him excitedly.

"What...?" he frowns at me.

I straighten myself staring at him with big eyes and say fiercely, "Give me the address of those dealers and clients!!! Once I feed them my kick na...no way they will dare to mess with you ever again, dekh lena!!!" I finish waiting for Veer's reaction.

And I get what I expect. Veer breaks into laughter making me almost fall.

"What...you're finding it funny???" I ask him pressing my lips together trying to control my own laughter.

"Ufff Sweetheart...! what would I do without you...! Good that you're here." Veer sighs and looks at me lovingly tugging my loose strands behind my ear.

"Well, I will make a bucket list for you stating what more you can do without me...but for now I'd love it if you handle your official matter with cool head and not blasting with anyone. Second...Now that I'm here...Don't you think you should do something productive with me, baby...?" I stare down at his eyes to lips showing my desire.

Veer shakes his head again whipping my seduction technic and stares at me intensely, "kya kare...dil se gussa hi nhi hat rha...!"

I place myself more comfortably in his lap holding him close enough to feel his heartbeat and let him feel mine, "Well...to move the anger from your heart, I think we better start removing it from your face first!"

Saying this I press my both thumbs at the joint of his frown and trace them on the either side of his temple smoothing his creased skin, then kiss at the middle of his eyebrows. Veer closes his eyes relishing my touch. I trace my fingers over his both closed eyes and kiss them...the corner of his eyes visibly relax. My eyes follow my actions while Veer's eyes rest on mine. I tap his nose making him smile then kiss the red tip. Then I move my fingers to caresse his jawline...as the muscle gives off tension, I kiss his both cheeks and finally rest my thumb over his bottom lip.

Veer raises his eyebrow questioningly As he sees me not approaching for lip kiss and mouths, "What?🤨"

I mouth back, "What what?"

"Well..." Veer pouts his lips at me signing me to kiss them.

"Umm...I don't think that's necessary regarding that your anger is gone now." I decide to play along.

Veer twists his mouth into his signature smirk and says, "Come on, sweetheart!!! tum itne raaste paar kar ke kailaash aai ho aur ab shiv ji ke sir par jal chadhaane ke liye itne bhav kha rahi ho!!!"

What! I burst out laughing hearing his dramatic  metaphor, "God!!! Where do you get such lines, Veer???"

"Told you sweetheart...I'm more updated than Google!" Veer smirks shrugging his hands airily and we both laugh.

We keep staring at each other with a beatific smile on our faces. Gradually our gazes become intense...breathing gets heavy...heartbeats rapid...his grip on my waist definitely tighter. The gap between our face thins while the sexual tension brews thicker and thicker...! And within a mesh of illusion his lips are on mine...my hands in his hair. Our lips dance together while our tongues move in synchrony, giving whatever we have for offer...taking whatever we desire. Holding me close with one hand around my neck, Veer's other hand slips inside my kurti sending the familiar shiver down my spine while my fingers continues to play with his hair...tugging...tangling...tugging... The rhythm matching the urgency of our kiss.

After how long I don't know, My lungs sends signal for oxygen but seems like my brain is in no mood of letting him go. And by the aggressiveness of his tongue I can tell that he feels the same. Veer's fingers hook inside the hem of my bra definitely not helping my already ragged breath. Even my moan skips as a hush sound due to the lack of air inside. Veer's harsh groan also confirms the same condition of his lungs. But right now desire seems more stubborn than the necessity!!! 

Right then a knock on the door rescues our lungs as Ahana calls me "Bani...!"

I and Veer pull apart with a jerk as the door knob twists and soon Ahana's head peeps in.

"Wo...Bani your....Umm..." Ahana's voice trails and her eyes halts at our position as she sees me sitting beside Veer...well, not exactly BESIDE him as my one leg is still over his thighs in an awkward manner. I quickly remove my leg.

"Yes...Ahana!!!" I talk and breath for air at the same time evidently revealing that I was in short of breath just a second ago.

God...!!! Could this be anymore embarrassing!!!

"Umm...well...did I interrupt between something..." Ahana asks sheepishly but her eyes are saying otherwise.

"Yes. You did! Now talk whatever you came for." Veer snaps back at her brusquely.

"Umm...wo...actually...your car came, Bani. I just came to say that." Ahana gulps, definitely funked by Veer's brusqueness.

"Car...???" Veer frowns at me in confusion.

Opps...!!! I didn't tell him yet!

I look at Ahana and say steadying my breath as much as I can, "Okay...you go, I'm coming."

Ahana leaves closing the door again while Veer looks at me asking, "Why would the car come for you???"

I can feel my face hot with the whole metabolic rush. Straightening my dress, I wipe the sweat of my chin with the back of my palm.

"Umm...actually...I didn’t come back here, Veer. I just came to talk to Mom. You know after what happened that day....I thought it was my responsibility to apologise to her...!" I look down at my hands examining my knotted fingers.

"Bani...!!!" Veer exhales loudly showing his exasperation, "for the millionth time I'm telling you wherever the past is...you're not at fault for that. I'm the only one responsible for what I experienced...Not you!!! Why Don't You Just Get It!!!" he raises his voice at the end and makes me look up at him holding my chin.

I look into his flashing eyes and say pouring my all emotions, "Well, If I were at your place, maybe I would say the same...But It's not easy for me to think the same way from here. Seeing you so damaged...it hurts to know that I'm the one behind it. But you don’t understand, Veer." I free myself from his grip and look away to hide my tears.

"I do, Bani. I do understand." Veer again takes my face into his hands, "I've seen that for myself. It killed me when I saw those emotionless eyes of yours or when you broke down into my arms. But see...now it's gone. We're again back together. Don’t let your bad feelings destroy our good ones, sweetheart. Make yourself free...! feel the spark, yaar...you've such a hot and charming husband here and you're mourning over Your past!! Tch...tch...not done gharwali!!!" cringing his nose Veer shakes his thumb dramatically.

I gape at him open mouth. This man  really has no bound!!! There we were talking out our emotions and here he is...obsessing over himself in the next moment.  I mean... Where to where!!!!

I playfully hit him over chest calling him, "Moron!!!"

Veer laughs grabbing my hand, then places a kiss on my palm. I smile at him. And just then I remember....

"Oh shit!!!" I exclaim looking at the tray.

"What happened sweetheart!!" Veer looks at me concerned.

"Your coffee!!!" I pick up the coffee mug, "I made it for you...but got lost in the moment and forgot to give you."

Veer takes the mug from me, "Hmmm...the first coffee made by my wife's hand!!" saying this he takes a sip of the coffee.

"Aree...but it's got cold na...!" I complain.

But Veer looks at me smugly and says, "tch...tch...sweetheart!!! It's made by my hot gharwali for her hot gharwala...! There is no chance of it being cold."

Oh God...!!!🤦‍♀️

"You literally praised the coffee, Me and Yourself just in one sentence!!!" I shake my head looking at him unbelievably.

"Well...the coffee and your part was the praise...but the rest is just fact!!!" Veer shrugs in a matter-of-fact way.

I stare at him incredulously.

God please help this Narcissistic Moron!🤦‍♀️

Rolling my eyes I give him a you-are-impossible look and pull him towards me by his loose tie. I Deftly untie the knot and pull it out from the collar band. Throwing it on the sofa, I stand on my tiptoes and chanel my fingers into his hair. Veer gazes me intensely while I smooth his hair with my fingers and brush them backward. Then smiling at him I peck on his nose and drag him downstairs.

When we get downstairs, I see Dad, Andi pa, Kunal bhai and the others have also come back from work. I go and take blessing form Dad and Andi pa...then greet others. Everyone is present at the drawing room while I see Ahana and Mishty bhabi standing at far corner smirking at me and Veer. No wonder Ahana has retailed the whole scenario to bhabi that she had visualized just a few minutes ago😑.

"How are you, dear?" Dad asks me.

"Fine, dad." I smile at him.

"How about your family???" asks Andi Pa.

"They're all good, Andi Pa." I reply and notice from the corner of my eyes that Dad is glaring at Veer.

"Well...what you did in the office today..." Dad starts with his ringing voice but Veer cuts him.

"I...." Veer spits in a rushy tone but stops immediately. Then taking a breath he starts, "I'll talk to the clients tomorrow and come to a negotiation. And don't worry about the cargoes, I'll contact the dealers and ask them if they have any alternative way." Veer replies calmly.

Almost everyone gapes at Veer in astound. Maan blurts out still in his daze, "You will???"

"Yeah...I guess that's what I said just now." Veer rolls his eyes at Maan.

Even dad looks too shocked to believe his ears as he splatters, "Oh-Uh...Okay..." no doubt he was expecting a fight.

Meanwhile Kunal bhai mutters, "looks like miracle happened."

Hearing him that Mahir idiot grins mischievously staring at me, "It must be the magic of the coffee...!"

Receiving all the stares I'm getting from different corners of this room, I try my best not to blush.

"Umm...okay...I'll take my leave now." I announce giving everyone a tight smile.

"Aree...why now? You came...we couldn’t even talk to you properly...and now you're talking of leaving. No...no. Have dinner with us here, then you can go." Dad commands strictly.

"Aree no no...I can't, dad. Actually We're all under curfew in the house. Mummy has strictly stated all of us to be inside the house by 7:00 pm. Well...today I excused myself saying that I'm coming here...but if I get late for dinner...then I'm pakka dead!" I roll my eyes dramatically and everyone laughs.

I bid goodbye to everyone, take my blessing from the elders and get out with Veer walking beside me.

"Tell your car to go back. I'll drive you home." Veer says while walking towards the gate.

I stop turning to him and reply, "No. You spend time with your family. I'll go now."

"I felt so happy seeing you that time thinking that you came back." Veer says with a hint of sadness in his voice.

"Today I also felt happy seeing you handling the matter with dad so politely. I'm impressed, husband." I sincerely state smiling at him.

"Well...like Mahir said..it's the magic of the coffee...or should I say the coffeemaker actually😉!!!" Veer grins winking at me.

"Nice!!! Never be late for flirting, Mr Chuha Singhania!" I roll my eyes feigning irritation.

Veer laughs heartily and says, "Late? Never! Not when it's you, Mrs Chuha Singhania!"

I can't help but smile in response of his stupid grin. Guard uncle opens the gate and I see our car standing at the front.

"What happened to your scooty?" Veer asks me.

"Oh..it's here. In the garage. Since I'll be coming back in few days, I thought I'd leave it here beforehand. I'll go with Bella till then." I reply.

"Okay...that’s good." Veer looks at me fervently... The playfulness of a moment ago is gone.

I take a step forward and hug him tightly. He hugs me back.

"I'll miss you." I say suppressing my depression.

"I'm already missing you, sweetheart." Veer gives a sad laugh.

"Just a matter of few days. Then I'll come back here with you." I smile at him hopingly.

Veer smiles too joining our foreheads together but says nothing. I know he doesn’t want to let go off me.

After passing a few seconds or minutes, Veer releases me, then walks me to the car, opening it for me. I stand before him and give him a kiss on his cheek.

"Have your food on time and Be a good boy, okay!" I say admonishingly and Veer laughs at my antics.

"Okay, Mam." he bows his head.

"And if someone messes with you, call me, okay? I'll show them the all shades of unseen colours." I say squinting my eyes evilly.

This time Veer gifts me a genuine laugh hugging me once more. Releasing me he pecks on my forhead...nose...and lips with love. Giving him a final grin, I get inside the car and wave him goodbye. God...!!! I miss him already!!!
