today I'm here with that sweet romantic VeeBa One shot i had promised to some people few days back😳😉 let me tell you one thing before u proceed, this story has no logic and its all fantasy😆
~Kiss of death~
She blinked to see if this was another of dreams which she had been having a lot since her marriage. Dreams which were rosy and beautiful, where she sailed in skies and waltzed on waters and danced with his arms on hers.. Dreams which soothed her behind closed eye lids and pricked in day time because they were never going to come real, but she could have been wrong. This was not a dream at all..
He said, "yeh dekh, maine humara naam is taale par likh diya..Veera aur Baldev..ab hum kabhi alag nahi honge..woh kya kehte hain, happy belantimes day! Main tennu bohot pyar karta hoon"(See, I wrote our names on this lock, Veera and Baldev..we'll never get separated again) he hugged her with passion.
As she laid her head on his chest, she did not know if she should smile in wonderment, cry in amazement or laugh at his innocence having pronounced Valentine's day' as belantimes day'
"Baldev..main bhi tennu bohot pyar karti hoon..aur who belantimes nahi hota bewakoof, Valentine's day hota hai"(Yes yes, I love u too, and you idiot, it is called valentines day') she pulled his cheeks, kissing them each and ruffling his hair.
They were in Poland, where it had all began. At the lock bridge which bore their names with the key safely tossed away in the sea below.
"achha tujhe yeh belantimes' day ke bare me kaise pata? Sach bata, kisi ladki ne batayana tennu..chal mennu tujhse baat nahi karni"(Okay now, tell me how did u get to know about this day? Did any girl tell you? Tell me the truth, otherwise I'm not going to talk to you) she turned her face in false anger.
"haan ek kudi ne bataya..aur uska naam hai.."(Yup, a girl told me and her name is..) he looked lost in thoughts.
"koun hai woh?"(Who is she?)jealousy dripped in her voice, unconcealed.
"Gunjan ne bataya mennu..chal abhi wapas chalte hain..tere liyeek surprise aurhai"(Gunjan told me about it, now let's go, I have another surprise for you) he took her hands into his and touched them to his heart.
Her paradise was back, beast turned to prince again and they were here on an unofficial honeymoon.
Just three days ago, they were not even on talking terms. Now it seemed like a nightmare she never wanted to revisit again.
Her eyes became moist, remembering the incidents which had led to the happiest Valentine's Day anyone anywhere had celebrated.
*************************
It was 11th February when the post man delivered a thick manila envelope to their house. Baldev tore it to find a letter typed in queens English, but addressed to his name. She waited to see what he'd do next and he did just what she guessed.
"yeh khat padhke suna mennu..chal shuru ho jaa"(Read this letter for me, will you?) he said as rudely as he could. Uff, this new husband of hers was a real scare sometimes.
She read it silently for a minute and then as she went to the further paragraphs, her eyes widened and as she finished it, her eyes were the size of saucers.
"muh me zaban nahi haiteri..bata ki likha hai isme?"(Have you lost your tongue or what? What is in the letter, tell me quickly) he prodded.
"isme likha hai ki.."(It says that..) she was too lost for words.
"itna kyon chounk rahi hai? Lottery lagi kya teri?"(Why are you so shocked? Did you win a lottery or something?)He asked sarcastically.
"kuch aisa hi samajhle"(Think that it's something similar) she could say only so much.
"tu rehne de, main kisi aur se padhva lunga"(okay, forget it, I'll ask someone else to read it for me) he tried to take away the letter but she stopped him.
"rukja Baldev...isme yeh likha hai ki Nihal chachu ne, Nihal chachu ne apni Poland wali saari property hum dono ke naam likhi hai aur usi silsile me hum eek hafte ke andar andar Poland jaana hoga"(Stop Baldev, this letter says that Nihal uncle has written his entire property in our names in his will, and we both have to go to Poland as soon as we can, in this regard) her voice seemed to come from very far away as she spoke in disbelief.
"tera Mazak tujhe Mubarak..ab asli baat bata" (Keep your jokes to yourself, now tell me the truth)
"Main Mazak nahi karrahi, yeh dekh..tu khud dekh" (I was notjoking..see for yourself) she handed him the letter.
His own shock over powered him as he realized that she had not been bluffing.
The on everyone who heard the news either went into highest level of shock or either to the heights of jealousy. By that night it was decided that Baldev would go to Poland alone and take care or probably sell whatever property had been transferred to his name; since he could not stay there for long.
"tu akele nahi jaayega samajh gaya tu? Aur tu shayad bhool raha hai ki woh property hum dono ke naam likhi hai, mere bina tu uska kuch nahi kar sakega toh menu chalna hi hoga tere naal"(You can't go alone, do you get it? Don't forget that he has willed it to us, you can't take care of it all alone; I have to come with you)Veera exclaimed.
With the nastiest sneer he could muster, he chided her that not only she, but even relatives were set to prove that he could not lift a finger without her help. She had no reply to that.
It was the night of 12th February and Deja vu took over Veera's mind as she traversed through the airport once again after so long. How different was it last time..most importantly, two things had changed drastically, one; she was going for a learning experience last time and this time for something else altogether. Two; Baldev was..words failed and her throat constricted as she thought of the old Baldev who had accompanied her to Poland Last June. His humorous nature, his kind side, his mischievous side, much more than anything else, the love that had bloomed between them, she wanted everything back, she could have traded her life to get it all back, if that was possible.
When they checked in with their baggage and other things it was like two strangers travelling together. It seemed that he was trying to avoid her as much as he could. He called the airhostess to ask if she could shift him to another seat, as he saw that their seats were next to each other. But his request was turned down as the flight was full.
Baldev made a face, shook his head and concentrated on the free drink that was being served.
It was about an hour later, when Veera woke up suddenly from the slumber she had fallen into. The plane was shaking badly and every piece of luggage was falling down from overhead bins. People were walking up and down the aisle in panic and some were looking panic stricken. The harried airhostess tried to calm them but they ignored her.
The pilot's cool and trained voice came over the mike, asking them to sit back on their seats as there was nothing to panic. The plane was going through the very common air turbulence and it would probably pass soon.
Veera felt a bout of motion sickness and she was about to enter the wash room when two people's voices made her stop in her tracks. There were two airhostesses talking just behind the wooden partition that separated the wash area from the staff cabin.
"Should we tell the passengers about the real problem, the plane has developed a snag in the engine and it can go up in flames any moment.." one of them said.
"no..the pilot is very experienced and he will take care of the problem so I think we should keep quiet and not scare the passengers unnecessarily" the other replied.
Veera felt dizzy. They all were set to die anytime soon and no one had a clue about it. Baldev, sleeping with a permanent mask of anger specially designed for her; his life was in danger, along with so many others.
His dear face appeared in front of her as she walked back to her seat. Not too long ago, while taking the vows of marriage, she had promised him that she'd take upon herself, any danger that came his way, that she'd stand with him in sickness and health..
Maybe the love that he had for her had died, the previously mutual feeling of affection was one sided now, but with their lives at stake, did it matter that he hated her guts? Her life was put on a timer and she had one last task left to finish before bidding final adieu to the world.
"Baldev?" she shook him softly.
He woke up with a huge question mark in his eyes.
The remaining is below in the second post😳
