Part 3 of Veera ke Dil Ki Baat OS VeeBa
4 months later...
Veera couldn't believe that it she was only two weeks away from leaving for the UK for further studies. Baldev was back to his usual self after the diary incident. Veera was deep in thought thinking about her veerji, beeji and chaiji whom she would miss when she got a call. It was Karan.
Karan: "Veera, kya tu dhaba pe 5 minute mein aa sakti hai? Mujhe tujhse kuch zaroori baat karni thi, actually ek surprise hai hamare UK jaane se pehle."
Veera was curious to know what was so important that Karan wanted to tell her.
Veera: "Haan, main abhi aati hoon."
Veera arrived at the dhaba and saw Karan sitting at one of the tables in deep thought. When he saw her he gave her a huge smile.
Veera: "Kya baat hai. Tu bahut kush dikh raha hai. Kya hai yeh surprise?"
Karan: "Jo mujhse tujhse pehle heen kehna chahiye tha."
Back at Baldev and Gunjan's house...
Baldev was busy having his breakfast and didn't know why ever since that diary incident with Veera, he could not stop thinking about her. But things were back to the way it used to be between them. Their usual nok jhok and fights, like nothing had happened.
Baldev (to himself): "Baldev, kya ho raha hai tujhe? Uss Veera ke bare mein main kyu soch raha hoon? Woh pagal ladki sirf meri dushman rahegi, aur kuch nahin.
The phone began to ring and Gunjan picked it up. It was Veera.
Gunjan: "Kya hua Veera?"
Whatever the conversation was about between Veera and Gunjan, suddenly Gunjan's eyes widened and she said
Gunjan: "Kya, sach! Karan ne sach much woh kiya?"
Gunjan was so loud that Baldev couldn't help but eavesdrop on the conversation.
Gunjan: "Main abhi vaha tere ghar aa rahi hoon."
Baldev: "Ab kya hua? Tujhe abhi kyun uss Veera ke ghar jaana hai?"
Gunjan: "Veerji, aap yakeen nahin karenge, Veera ne bahut khushi ki baat kee hai. Karan ne use woh shaher wale jo dete hain na, promise ring, jaise sagai ki angoothi ki tarah, use de di."
Gunjan was looking very happy when she said this. Baldev who was busy drinking his tea began to cough.
Baldev: "K..Kya? Veera ki sagai Karan se? Yeh nahin ho sakta...Mera matlab hai, acchi khabar hai. Kum se kum ab woh bhootni is pind chod kar jaigi aur mera dimaag nahin khaigi."
But Baldev couldn't help but feel anger and irritation at Veera.
Baldev (thinking to himself): "Yeh Veera aisa kar kaise sakti hai. Sirf apne bare mein sochti hai. Usse toh pata bhi nahin ki uske parivar par kitna bada karz hai uss Surjit Singh ki vajah se."
Gunjan was going to Veera's house to congratulate her when she turned to ask Baldev:
Gunjan: "Veerji, aap bhi aiye na Veera ko badhai dene. Waise bhi woh ab 2 haftoh mein videsh jaane waali hai."
Baldev: "Haan, haan, chal hum dono chalte hain Veera ko badhai dene?"
At Ranvi and Veera's house...
Veera was home all alone when Baldev and Gunjan arrived. Baldev couldn't help but look straight at Veera's ring finger to confirm whether she was actually giving her vaada to Karan of all people. Sure enough, Veera had on a gold ring on her ring finger.
Veera: "Arre wah Baldev tub hi mujhe badhai dene aaya hai?"
Baldev: "Haan, mujhe bahut khushi hai ke tu bahut jald iss pind ko chod ke ja rahi hai uss Karan ke saath."
Baldev couldn't help but notice that Veera was looking very pretty in the salwaar kameez suit she had on. The earrings and bangles really brought out her beauty even more.
Veera: "Oi tu teekh toh hai na? Aise mujhe ghoor ghoor kar kyun dekh raha hai?"
Baldev: "Tujhe ghoor nahin raha hoon. Soch raha hoon ki bechare Karan ne tujhme kya dekha ki tujhe usne promise ring diya?"
Just then Karan came over to Veera's place.
Karan: "Veera, good tu ghar pe hai. Mujhe tujhse kuch baat karni thi."
Baldev: "Arre, haan haan, Karan main aur Gunjan toh nikal hi rahe the, tujhe Veera se apni parivar se milane aur apni zindagi ki planning karni hai na."
Karan looked confused by what Baldev said.
Karan: "Matlab? Main kuch samjha nahin?"
Veera and Gunjan quickly looked at each other nervously.
Veera: "Nahin, kuch nahi Karan. Yeh Baldev bhi na kuch bhi kehta rehta hai. Chal hum woh zaroori baat karte hain. Bye Gunjan didi aur Baldev. Aur thank you badhai dene ke liye."
Baldev couldn't put a finger on it exactly, but he knew that something was up. What was Veera upto? And why did Karan look confused when Baldev mentioned Karan's engagement to Veera?
