Veer's PoV
She's lost in her own finger work as it travels over curve lines. I expected her to be shocked...or surprised...even angry....but not lost. She keeps caressing my tattoo like it's the most significant artwork in the universe.

"You like it???" I ask her hesitantly. 

"It's.... us." finally Bani looks up at me with wonder in her eyes.

"Yes, it's us. At first I thought of doing 'sweetheart' you know.... But then I changed my mind, 'cause I think I love US more than I love you..." I smile at her expression placing my hand over her palm on my chest, "...you told me na..that you made my name 'cause I'm always in your heart no matter what...just like that Bani, my heart beats for both of us. If we exist, then I exist. I know that if you ever feel that I'm better off without you...you'll let me go. But I Won't. I can't let you go Bani. I'm a selfish man. I'll fight the whole universe including you to be with you, sweetheart. Without you I'm nothing but oblivion." my heart swells with emotion. This is the first time I'm expressing my feelings to Bani. She has always been more clear about this than me.

"Won't you say something???" I ask her impatiently.

I see a pearl of tear drips down her cheek. I quickly cup her face and kiss away the tear, "Sweetheart... Please don't cry... I don't want you to cry anymore." it kills me seeing tears in her eyes.

"When did you do this???" she asks in hoarse voice.

"Before New Year. Six years back. I wanted to show you this on the New Year eve. But that day you couldn’t come. And after that you never came." I smile bitterly.

"Oh...!!! so this too was part of your trap game!!!" she abruptly removes her hand from my body and looks away sadly.

What!!! Now this is what she thinks!!!

I turn her face towards me and directly look into her eyes, "Bani!!!! I did not trap you. I'm telling you again, I. Did. Not. Trap. You. Hell!!! Why Don't you Trust me!!!" I'm trying to keep my cool...but I can't!

She too looks at me with same intensity, "I CAN'T!!! Who are you asking me to believe, huh?? You??? Well, I heard it from your own mouth!!! I heard it all with my own ears!!!" her voice breaks as tears stream down her face.

I fight back the hard knot in my throat and say, "Listen Bani... I made that stupid bet after our first meeting, when you tried punch me in the canteen, in front of the whole crowd, remember? I admit it, that day it hurt my ego and my friends too were making fun of me...so I just did it on the flow. But hell!!! That was before I knew you...before we became friends...before I fell in love. The bet didn’t even cross to my mind after I came to know you!!!"

"Oh really!!!" she laughs sceptically, "...then what was that on the 31st night, huh??? That night I came to give you surprise but what I saw was...your friends were talking shits about me and you were enjoying your fun talking about how you fooled me and got me in your bed!!!..." she hits me on my chest, "...DO YOU HAVE ANY FUCKING IDEA HOW HUMILIATING THAT WAS FOR ME???" she says yelling through her cry.

Her words were like punch in my stomach. I feel ashamed. Honestly speaking untill this moment I didn’t realize how humiliating it was for her or for any girl  to hear those shitty words from her boyfriend and his friends.

By now we both are in tears. I cup her face tightly holding her close to me, "I'm sorry, sweetheart. You know what a jerk I am, don't you? I was drunk.... angry on you for not staying with me...I blubbered those things without making any sense. Now I realize what crap I did that day should not have been done. But this was not all you heard. Didn't you hear what we talked about us...our future...our..." but before I can finish she cuts me.

"I Don't need to hear anything more. What I heard was enough..." she shakes herself off me wiping her face sniffing, "....I cannot trust you anymore, Veer. I don't want to. It's gone. Whatever happened, it's gone now. Now I have moved on and I really don't want to drag the past again. You better get this by now."

"So you're saying that you've moved on, huh??" could she be anymore ridiculous!

"Yes!!!" she says with far too extra determination.

"But I didn’t. And I'll make sure you don't too." I give her a smitten smile.

"What??? I think you didn’t hear me...I said that I have already....." I don't let her finish.

"That you've already moved on...yes Bani Sharma I heard you...." I twirl her and pull her to me from behind, then whisper in her ear, "...but looks like you didn’t hear me when I said that I Won't LET you go...LET US GO, even if that means I have fight you."

I can sense her going weak on her knees.  And she says she's moved on from me....like earth says I've stopped rotating around sun!!!

"In that case you're are a world class moron!!!" Bani says in a quivery voice breathing heavily.

"Well....I'd take that as a complement..." I run my nose into her hair inhaling her scent.

Then something clicks into me, "Wait....speaking of moron!!! That's not your lipstick brand, sweetheart!!!" I frown still hugging her from back.

"What!!!!" she jerks away my hold and stands facing me.

"That day...I asked you the brand name and You said Moron. I googled it...but there's no such brand named Moron. I even asked Mishty bhabi you know...since you girls are pretty experts with these lipsticks and stuffs. Even she never heard of such brand. So I'm assuming you said that to me, right?" I look at her expectantly.

But all this time that I've talking, she keeps staring at me with eyes big...mouth open...like I'm something like.....well, I can't really define her look!!

"You what???" she sits thumping on her bed, "....you googled??? No no...wait!!! You asked Mishty bhabi if she knew any brand named Moron!!!" she gives me a hallow laugh.

Now...she's looking like....well something I cannot define...

"Well....the question is still there, you see!!!" I try to pass her some sense.

"Do you have any idea what an unusual Moron you are, Veer!!!" alas! She couldn’t catch it.

"Just tell me the name na..." I say exasperatedly.

"First you tell me...what will you do with the brand name??? Why is it so important to you???" she looks at me incredulously.

Should I tell her?
Is it a good idea?
After what happened with that bet thing...you still thinking of hiding anything from her!!!
True!!!

"I'm waiting!!!" She spats.

"Umm...." sitting beside her I hold her hands to mine ( nothing romantic...only making sure she cannot slap me after my explanation🙊), "....that lipstick you wore yesterday...was brilliant!! We kissed for so long....still see it did not smudge even a little bit. Only because of that lipstick we didn’t get caught yesterday, sweetheart. It is so perfect for our romance!!! Beside it tastes so damn good!!! You know...." before I can blubber any further I feel a sharp Kick in my sheene.

Fuck!!!😣
I forgot about the legs!!!😖

"Romance my foot!!!😐" She gets up from her place and glares at me putting her hands on either side of her waist, "You Chuha!!!...who says I'll romance with you, huh??👿" she barks at me.

Well...telling her the reason was definitely not a good idea!!!

"Well...no one needs to say anything. It's obvious, isn’t it? Together we're like Charlie-Mohini...the fire is bound to ignite everytime we come across, sweetheart... Don't you see it!!!" can she be anymore obtuse???

"We're what!!!" Bani asks me...literally perplexed.

"Charlie-Mohini... Happy New Year... Shahrukh-Deepika...Fire!!!  Remember...ang laga de re...???😁" I grin at her goofily.

Well...I guess it's the right song🙄

"Have you lost it??? Or have I!!!" Bani whispers holding her head with her hands. She looks at a loss.

"Well... You are here...I am here....the bed is here....why not get lost together, baby??😚" saying this I pull her by hand and she lands directly over me making me fall on the bed. 

Ahh!!!! What a moment dude!!! Her loose hair framing over my face....there isn’t even a centimetre gap between our symmetry...her body pressing hard with mine... Both of us breathing heavily...our heartbeats synchronised. My intellectual brain takes another look at this already memorised Art piece...sharp brows....square eyes...long lashes... Thin nose...parted lips...heart-chin... Wonderful!!!

"Why are you wearing inner???" I ask her while stroking her back.

"What???" she asks back. Her initial trance has broken.

"I asked why are you wearing inner at night. You're at home, right?" I ask her again.

Bani gives me a full ten seconds glare then gets off me, "You're an asshole, you know that!!!" She spits at me.

Well....I can be anything for her...but what did I do this time🙄

I too get up, "Why?? I'm asking for your own good. It's not good to wear inner or any tight cloths for 24/7, you know...."  bhalayi ki zamana hi nhi raha ajkal😒.

Bani sighs in exasperation, "Well...I may be at home, but in case you forgot I live with five male in this house. May them be my family members, but still they are males...so I should be tactful about my dress, right? I can not just run around without wearing anything inside. It will be embarrassing for both me and them, you see!!!"

I nod my head, "Fine!! After our marriage I will buy some of those padded nightwear. I really don't like this idea of you wearing unhealthy cloths."

"YOU AFTER WHAT???" it's a wonder how her jaw still didn’t touch the floor even after forming this much big hole.

"After our marriage. Obviously you're not gonna roam around wearing t-shirt and shorts at my house, right! Not that I have any issues about your dress sense. But you're looking too hot at this attire...and I don't want...." before I could say what I don't want, my balls goes up  in pain.

"Ouch!!! What did I do now???😖" bending down I haul in pain.

"You jerk!!! You barge into my room at 2:00 in the midnight  and talk about stupid brand....stupid nightwear....marriage shits...and you say what you did now???😡" she roars at me with fire in her eyes.

"Of course it's not something stupid..." I argue back, "..it's very crucial to have some decent plan for our future days. Godd!!! Why are you like this? Can't you be like Bella?? I'm sure they are having such a honeymoon moment right now..."  

"What did you say??? Bella and who???" Bani asks me angrily.

"Bella and Mahir. Like I came to see you, Mahir has also come na.... And see there is no yelling coming from their room. You really should take class from your sister. Always on killing mood😐!!!" I look at her petulantly but little did she care about my feelings.

"You came with Mahir?" She gives me a deadly glare.

"Um...yes."

Well, looks like talking about Mahir was not a good idea either!🙊

"And right now he's in Bella's room?" could she look anymore lethal!

"Yes...🙊" definitely not a good idea!!

And the next second she literally chokes me to death with her both hands. Maybe I should have said goodbye to my family before coming here!!!
