Hey guys…
There is nothing much to say…another take on Jai and Bani.
ENJOY!!!!!
+++++
Whispers of the Winds… …
Bani picked up the plates, washing them…the cacophonous voices came floating form the living room into the kitchen, one of the voices was of her husband, laughing forcefully…
"Bani madam…leave it, I will finish it…" Tony said in an endearing way…bani smiled gently…
"There are many dishes Tony, let me help…" bani said continuing with her job…
"Madam you go out…please…" Tony said embarrassed seeing his mistress doing menial jobs…
"Tony…I am not required outside…" bani said washing her hands, taking a towel wiping the plates dry… tony remained silent, finding himself other things to do in the spacious kitchen…
"Tony…get some ice…" it was sahil who barged in…
"Mami…ice please…" he said…bani nodded her head…going towards the refrigerator…
"Madam…I will take it…" tony said hurriedly getting the ice-bucket…leaving the kitchen…
Seeing that there was no work left, bani decided it was better to head back to the room…she slowly slipped upstairs from the steps in the backyard…a thunder echoed in the sky…seems like it would rain heavily…bani looked skywards, not even a single star was blinking in the black blanket of the night… …
Each step she took towards the room seemed heavy and tiring…Anu's engagement has been fixed…it was not even a month ago when she had accidentally found out anu's undisciplined lifestyle and soon later that she was pregnant over a month or so… she had tried to handle the situation in the best possible way she thought, but jigyasa aunty had spoiled it as always, exclaiming in a party that her beloved brother was going to be a father…Jai Walia was seething with anger that night…pouncing on her like a wild beast ready to rip her apart…if not for anu's intervention, he might as well had killed her with his bare hands… anu's confession had left him baffled, just for a brief second she had seen a wave of apology cross his harsh yet handsome face, but soon the anger flushed back, only this time the target was different…later when she was quietly making her bed on the floor, he had marched in, throwing away his coat, cursing under his breath…
"Are you a sadist bani???" he screamed in an undertone…and she simply stood still gawking at him…
"Do you enjoy being accused or do you love jigyasa's taunts and insults???" he continued stripping himself off his shirt, she averted her gaze, looking elsewhere, his bare chest facing her naked eyes was too much for her to handle, especially when it was the first time that she was caught in such a close uncomfortable proximity with a man…and theat man being her unwanted husband…
"Anu…she is like rano to me…how could I not help her???" her one innocent statement was enough to shut him up; mutely he picked up his night dress and stormed into the bathroom…closing the door with a bang…
He wasn't thankful to her, neither was jigyasa aunty…somewhere she wasn't even expecting them to be grateful to her…but his denial of her hurt her…and she cried herself to sleep…
By the time bani reached the room, it started raining…with a soft click she closed the door…wondering what her life had turned into…like some tattered pages of a vintage book…unwanted, unread, torn, forsaken, burnt, at the end lost into oblivion…
She carefully took off the expensive jewelry…another facade of being Mr. Jai Walia's wife…a wife chosen out of pressurized circumstances rather than love or liking…pia's one grave mistake had spread destruction…in so many lives…the main victims being Bani Dixit and Jai Walia… there was nothing more painful than being trapped in a loveless…very much pointless relationship and witnessing it crumble day by day…and to just stand and watch yourself coming closer to the end where everything diminished and nothing was left…nothing at all…she almost grew into a state of sympathizing with herself, mockingly laughing at her ill-fate…she was cursed…her life was an anosmatic existence…just there…
The rain fell in bouts of laborious showers…she opened the door and took a step… she heard the hushed whispers of the winds…she walked in a trance, drenching herself in the pious rain…
Good or bad…sad or happy…the remembered chunks of her past were what made her who she was…the carefully collected snippets from her memory were the bedrock of her life and also the turning point in her search for answers….
She stood rooted to her spot, lifting her arms, feeling the wetness of the water seep inside her, into her…filling her…she stood there undisturbed…talking to her herself…
Jai Walia excused himself as jigyasa and aditya bid farewell to Rohit's parents, it was none other than an old associate, Ranvijay Chopra, his ex-girlfriend, the haughty Roshni Chopra's elder brother, and he was glad that she hadn't come, but he knew he couldn't avoid her once she makes her grand entry, she always managed to get onto his nerves… he sprinted towards his room, after all this fake pretence in front of the world, all he wanted was some peace and sleep…he rubbed his temples, he was having a severe headache…
He walked into his room to find his night dress; neatly ironed and kept on the edge of the bed… he picked it up, but stopped in his tracks as soon as his eyes fell on a figure standing in the attached balcony of his huge room… he moved closer to find his wife twirling, getting wet in the pouring rainfall…for a moment he stood transfixed by the angelic image fluttering before him…
Bani felt light… as if all her burdens have been uplifted, carried away by the dissolving raindrops…when suddenly she felt that the rain had stopped falling…she opened her eyes, looking up…to find an umbrella covering her…she turned her face to find her husband staring at her with fixed eyes…she shivered a bit by the cold blowing winds…
"You will fall sick…come inside…" his hoarse words sent a creeping chill within her…
Bani crouched into foetal position, trying to gather some sleep, which was far away from reaching her awake eyes…her eyes automatically shot up to find her husband's back glaring at her, he was sleeping soundly…hugging the blanket to herself she closed her eyes… …
She felt stupid accompanying her husband like an unrebellious conformer…behind him…unrebuking…wherever he took her, she simply went without a word spoken between them, smiled at his friends, spoke to the spouses of his business associates, effortlessly slipped into the role of a hostess whenever he wanted a party to be organized, and being the perfect daughter-in-law to his mother-like masi whom she had grown to love like her own mother, running his house like his true wife…her yearning for an elusive fulfillment and the intensive struggle to let go of it never ceased to stop…she sighed as jai drove through the maze of the jammed traffic…they were heading for anu's engagement party…she let out a small panicked scream as he drove rashly, taking sharp turns as the road diverted…
Jai looked over his shoulder, the pensive mood of his wife didn't pester him…he was helpless as she was…they both had feel prey to someone else's mistakes…there was nothing she could do about it nor could he…somebody has to pay for the committed errors and unfortunately it was bani…whenever he thought be nice, at least human towards bani, the rushes of the marriage day came running to his mind, he would never be able to forget the humiliation that her sister has caused him…
He stopped the car before the venue…she got down, adjusting the pleats of her sari…she saw him stand with his hands in his pocket, bani hurried towards him…they walked side by side, with masked smiles plastered across their faces as they showed up at the entrance only to be greeted by Roshni…
Bani stood, tight-lipped, as the music blasted behind her, jai was dancing with roshni, rather roshni was making him dance, not able to do anything she preferred to leave…jai's eyes skimmed through the crowd, he moved away from roshni, trying his best to keep her at bay… he hadn't met a more disgusting woman than her…everyone was enjoying themselves…he decided to leave before that slimy thing threw herself on him…
"Mr. Walia…woh di is nowhere…" rano came to him worrying for her missing sister…
"I look for her…don't worry…" he said coming out…he was surprised by the concern laced in his voice…he was only grateful to her only for one thing, that she agreed to be the perfect wife before masi whom he loved, maybe the only person who mattered to him the most in this wide world… he looked around…not able to find her he got into his car…after driving for a short distance he found bani walking aimlessly on the lonely road…jai stopped the car near her…
"Bani get in…" he said rolling down the window…
"It's okay Mr. Walia…I can find my way…" she said stubbornly…
"Get in okay…" he said irritated…
"Mr. Walia please…can you leave me alone…is it necessary to bother me always…" she snapped… further raging his anger…
"Will you get in or not…?" he hissed…
"No…" came her spat reply, she walked away…jai came out of the car, marching towards her, dragging her, making her sit in the car… he shut the door, locking it…he turned around and sat in his seat…starting the engine…ignoring her surpassed sobbing stifles…
He felt a bit guilty seeing her rush inside the bathroom, breaking down…not able to understand her agony he quietly left to his study, pouring himself a drink, for the first he made an effort to think about himself, bani and their unpredictable marriage…he didn't return to his room till morning…
"This is the last favor I am asking…" she heard jai's stoic voice…she went about doing her work…arranging the room, taking out his necessary things…
"You have to come to Paris with me…I have a very important delegation, and masi wants me to take you along…I can't say no to her…" he said in a flat tone, it seemed like a declaration to her rather than a request…
"I am not coming…" she said banging the drawers close…
"Bani…please…" he sounded desperate…
"Rano has exams…I am not coming…" she said trying to move out of the room, since he was blocking her way…
"Move Mr. Walia…" she said lowly, not looking up at him…
"Bani…please…I promise one last time…" his voice mellowed involuntarily…bani's misty eyes shot up…
"Beta…" masi's voice boomed from behind…jai shifted aside hearing her…
"Bani…chali jaa na…itna mana rahaa hain tujhe…" masi smiled at her…
"Masi woh…Rano…" bani uttered…
"Hum sab hain…"
"Par, shaadi ki tiyaari bhi…" bani thought of another excuse…
"Arre, kuch din ki toh baat hain…shaadi main waqt hain abi…" masi said patting her head…
"Waise bhi biji bol rahin thi shaadi ke baad tujhe kahin leke hi nahin gaya mera munna…abhi mauka mila hain toh ghoom aao…" masi added…bani nodded her head helplessly…
"Waise…Paris is a very romantic place…just perfect for you both…"she teased them…they both looked visibly conscious…
"We will leave tomorrow…" jai uttered before leaving the room in haste…
Bani buckled her seat belt, trying to forget jigyasa's snide remarks…Life could be so lonely and unfulfilling…she hadn't realized it until now… pia was ecstatic exclaiming how beautiful Paris was and that she was so lucky to visit it… handing her a list of things she wanted…What was the use of going places that too with a stranger, a man who never even tried to acknowledge her presence as a living human being…a wife was a far off thing… suddenly she felt like an unknown entity…she had dreams, a few small dreams for herself, but Alas! Life always snatched away those little opportunities from her... she never could give time for the other side of her…first it was her ailing mother, then her drunkard father, then her young sisters, and now walia mansion…she has not achieved much professionally either…she gave so much of her energy to being a responsible sister, pretending to be someone's wife, someone's daughter-in-law…that she had no energy left for her mind which needed to be shaken out of sleep… …
She made a decision…she had had enough of it…once back she would leave… forever…somewhere where she could find peace if not anything else…out of this world where everything was taken for granted and nobody actually cared for honesty and goodness…this world was a one big farce…she closed her eyes as the flight took off…
Jai tried to read the magazine…to his alarm he was stuck at the same page for the past half an hour or so…thinking nothing…he looked down upon where his wife's head was resting…on his shoulder, in the crook of his neck…she was sleeping blissfully, her usual animated face devoid of any emotions or feelings…he felt her steady breath, the pocketful puff of warm air fanning the curve of his neck….teasing his senses… he closed the magazine, keeping it away… preferring to stare at his wife who was completely unaware of what she was doing to him at the moment…Why didn't he notice her before??? He questioned himself…may be because the spiteful environment was in stark contrast to her chastity…maybe that's why she seemed hidden, somewhere distant…contently detached from this nasty world, happy being far removed from its caricaturist pomp and show…he rested his head back… he had decided to free her…there was no point punishing her for the misdeeds of someone else…he had realized it but was too egoistic and pumped with extreme anger that he was hell-bent on destroying everything…but as he went about on his destructive spree, somewhere in between he had stopped, surprised by something…turning behind he saw only one person…Bani…picking up those shattered pieces with the patience of a monk…it was then he understood the difference…if he was trying to break something…she was trying to build something…and to break was a minute's job…whereas to build…it took a lifetime… …
Bani snuggled closer…trying to open her eyes, feeling extremely lethargic, rather than physically she was mentally fatigued…with great difficulty she flapped open her eyelids… moving up, she found herself sprawled on her husband's arm shamelessly…she moved back in fright…not able to look at him…she adjusted her crumpled pallu…
"Sor…sorry…" she fumbled…jai felt an emptiness as she left him…
Bani clutched the travel-guides, maps, broachers in her fist; the receptionist was kind enough to inform her about the various tourist places and even arranged for a car, who wouldn't when the person concerned was Mrs. Bani Jai Walia… jai was busy in his meetings and delegations all day and even if he wasn't she wasn't expecting him to escort her and show her around, she knew she was just a rudimentary appendage…but she found things to do, she travelled around Paris extensively…she lost herself in the mammoth history of the museums, she admiringly mazed through the long corridors of the art galleries, she leisurely browsed the book shops, she mutely observed the painters sketching masterpieces sitting on the cobblestone paths, she even picked up a few French words…she abandoned herself to its beauty, indeed it was a Romantic place… a place where she fell in love with herself again…she felt re-energized… she found her true self again…but a melancholy strain would always be there in her heart…somewhere…the broken string…
Jai hurried inside the hotel lobby…finally wrapping up all his work, everything went well, but now there were many things to be taken care of…he needed to talk to bani… to his surprise he didn't find bani in the room, he had offered to take another room for her, but she had dismissed his suggestion telling that it was such a vast suite, she would make herself comfortable in any of the corners, there was no need to waste money on her, he hadn't argued further…he picked up the phone and enquired at the reception, who politely informed him that his lovely wife was out sightseeing…changing into a more casual clothes he went to the prescribed place where he could probably find her…
Jai walked slowly, trying to search his wife in the fall of the evening…the light was still intact…giving a golden feel to everything…his eyes fell on a slim figure sitting on the bench, an elegant figure in an immaculately draped sari with a shawl wrapped around her…the Eiffel Tower standing behind her tall and majestic…he approached her in slow, noiseless steps… curiously looking at her, to his amusement he saw her filling a compact photo-album, inserting the photographs with a small smile playing on her lips, a smile so beautiful which he hadn't seen in ages…beside her were a bunch of pamphlets stapled…they were the study-guides of the various places she visited…he sat near her, she was so immersed in her work that she didn't even notice somebody's presence invading her privacy…
"Can I see them…?" bani jumped in her seat, startled… her eyes clashed with his…
"Aap…" a slow mumble escaped her lips…
"Kyun…let me see this…" he took the album from her hand…the pictures were aesthetically appealing… they were a myriad of pictures, of people, of children, of museums at different angles, of painters, of musicians singing on the streets, of the white marble water fountains, of the red and yellow leafed trees, of vacant streets, of busy markets, of the blue sky with wisps of white clouds, he noted she was nowhere in any of the pictures…the last picture caught his attention...it was of two colorful kites, contrasting in colors and patterns…flying in the sky…it intrigued him…their haywire motion…the way they came closer…almost embraced each other…then drew apart blissfully unaware that someone else was pulling the strings and could cut them loose…their lives resembled those two contrasting kites…how a an impending circumstance created by someone else changed the course of their lives forever…almost irrecoverably…he had seen Paris many times, but seeing it now through her eyes, he realized how beautiful it indeed was…
"They are wonderful…" he said handing it over to her…she quickly picked the album and those pamphlets and stuffed them in her bag…
"Did you see the tower???" he asked gently…she nodded her head in denial…
"Why???" he was surprised that sitting here she hadn't seen it…
"I am scared of heights…" she confessed with the imprudence of a small child who refused to leave her mother's side…
He smiled, holding her wrist…
"Mr. Walia…no…I will fall…" she clutched onto his arm tightly as the elevator took them to the topmost floor…
"Relax bani…" jai patted her hand…seeing her panic more, he gently snaked his arm around her tiny waist…unconsciously bringing her closer to him…
"Bani…open your eyes look…it's beautiful…" jai urged her leading her to the floor mobbed with people looking down with awe…bani opened her eyes with reluctance… her eyes widened in amazement as she took in the breath-taking view of Paris from the altitude…the sun had set, and the lights illuminated…
"WOW!!!" she whispered, leaning over…she had never seen something so gorgeous in her life…instead of looking down jai looked at her glowing face, she was still holding his elbow…bani turned around sharply observing him…
"It's wonderful…" she gushed…not realizing the steep tension that was brewing between them…jai gave her a stiff smile…her eyes travelled to where she held him, quickly she retreated her arm, feeling embarrassed…
"When are going back???" she asked tentatively… feeling sad all of a sudden…she didn't want it to end…not like this… …
"Um…bani…I think I have been terrible to you…" jai spoke up in a considerate voice…bani remained silent…
"I am tired of all this…" he said with a strong dejection in his voice…
"It is best we part ways…I will tell masi everything…there is no point now…" jai said stoically…
"Yes…" bani turned around…
"Even I am tired of being your showpiece wife…" she mumbled…he somewhere felt a deep pain inside him as he heard her utter those words…she wasn't lying…indeed he had treated her like a non-existent but still the truth hurt him…
They stayed like that for some time…two fluttering kites…away….aloof…seeking something in the ultimate skies…silently trying to hear the whispers of the winds…
"What do you want to eat???" he asked as they reached their room, too tired to go down he decided to order the food to their room…
"I am not hungry…" bani said pacing across the room…suddenly she had become solemn from being excited…
"Bani…don't be silly…have something…" he said picking up the phone…
"I said I am not hungry…" bani pressed her words, going inside the bathroom…jai shook his head ordering something…
"Bani have something…" jai urged as bani sat on the floor, cross-legged, pressing the remote with force, swapping the T.V. channels…
"I don't want to…" came her stubborn reply…he gave up picking a few morsels of food he chewed with difficulty…
"When are we going back…?" he heard her question him after a prolonged silence with a T.V. host chattering something in the behind…
"Tomorrow…" he said after a bit of struggle…
"I will pack then…" bani switched off the televisions, getting up, bringing the suitcases, gathering their clothes and other stuff…jai sat on the couch, diagonally opposite to where she was standing near the bed…
"What will you do after you leave?" he asked trying to make it sound as casual as possible…
"I don't know…maybe go back to Mt. Abu…do some job…"
"And rano…her studies…" he asked again as if he was very well-informed about them…
"Her exams will be over…hopefully she will get good marks…she will manage to get a scholarship and she will study further…" bani replied forgetting all her previous bitterness… they both were surprised at how easily they could hold a normal conversation like two normal people…
Jai remained silent for a considerable time… he wanted to pose a question…something which was nagging him for quite some time…
"Bani…" he called out…
"Umm…" bani said unmindfully…packing the clothes…
"Why did you put up with me for so long???" his query was straight and hard-hitting…bani's head shot up…he looked at her squarely…partly it was her guilt, her repentance on behalf of pia that she took everything he threw at her soundlessly… she wanted him to scream out all that pain, hurt and humiliation he had been made to face, so that nothing would be left inside him and he would be able to live again…as he had before… but after a point he had refrained from inflicting her anymore…he was cocooned within himself… even then why didn't she make an effort to break free…it was a question she herself was finding answer to…
"I…I don't know…" she replied bending her head, concentrating on her work…she heard his footsteps… her heat skipped a beat hearing his nearing steps towards her…he languidly gazed at her…
"Don't you know bani…?" he asked again…standing near her…
"No…" she stood straight, trying to move aside…but he held her lightly…
"You don't know…bani…" he uttered…leaning forward pressing his lips on hers… bani's knees went weak…the gentle kiss shook her inner core…What was he doing???
Jai left her…bewitched by her innocent rosy face showcasing her naivety as she looked visibly pared…his eyes rested on her quivering lips…unsaid words were hidden behind those trembling lips…he longed to listen to them all…he wrapped his arms around her, kissing her again…this time passionately… she raised herself, at first wanting to stop him but all she could fend to do was simply hold him…
Jai spread his hand to his side, searching for her…finding it empty he got up lazily…he looked around to see no trace of his wife…What had culminated was not merely a physical need?? To his utter disbelief he found himself drowning in her…the mental and emotional need which she trigged inside him had left his speechless…and he realized many things…which he was running away from… he pushed away the covers, trying to locate his discarded pant… he felt heady, the potent hormones still drove him to insanity…he needed a strong drink…he twiddled with the glass, the ice cubes clinking against the glass wall…after tasting her lips, his favorite drink tasted bland…he kept the glass aside going in search of his wife…
He stared at her…a retreated mound of figure, curled up on the floor of the balcony, entrapped in a white sheet resembling an angel…like an angle who had descended down to earth in search of her beloved…waiting for him since ages…
"It's cold…what are you doing here…" she twitched as his voice tickled her…a moment later she found him besides her, his fingers running through her long hair…her body shook… he heard her sobs… his fingers serrated her long, silky hair…kissing the perfect curve of her neck…
"Why are you crying…??" he asked hoarsely…
"Did I hurt you…?" he added with thoughtfulness…nibbling the base of her ear…
"You…you…you don't love me…" she wailed out, trying to move away from him… her irritation surmounted heights of anger when she heard him chuckle…he turned her making her to look at him…caressing the side of her face…
"You put up with a beast like me because you had fallen in love with me…didn't you???" he said…bani was rendered shell-shocked at the revelation…
"How…you…I…how do you know…??" she fumbled…he let out a small laugh…
"Your eyes…they can never lie…" he said stroking her skin…no woman would surrender so easily to a man, if she didn't love him whole-heartedly…and bani had thrived under his loving touch…
"Let's go back…" he murmured huskily…
"But you don't love me…" she said in a sulky tone…he got up…lifting her in his arms, the blanket dangling down…
"I want to love you…for the rest of my life…" he ended all her questions with a consuming kiss…she gingerly snaked her arms around his neck…
Jai squinted his eyes…a rare smile forming on his face…he bowed his head slightly watching his wife with glee…bani was sprawled over him…her head resting over his chest…her long hair spread out irregularly…his tranquil moment was disturbed by the shrill ringing of his phone…he picked it up from the nightstand to see aditya's number flashing…he gently lifted her…slipping out of the bed…he walked towards a distant corner…it was way past the morning…
"What is it Adi??" he said impatiently wanting to get back and hold her…her bellowing moans still echoed in his ears coercing his dormant emotions to enliven…
"Have you guys left??? When will you be reaching…your sister in dancing on my head…" aditya said, irked by jigyasa's crude remarks about bani…
"Adi…" jai scratched his head…
"What??"
"Umm…we…"
"Where is bani??? God knows how the poor thing is putting up with you…" aditya said with a flash of anger…
"Adiii…" jai yelled…
"What???Give the phone to bani…" aditya demanded…
"She is sleeping…" he answered lamely…
"Sleeping, it must be morning now…she is an early riser…call her…"
"Umm…she had a busy night…"
"What??What did you do to her…you must have made her cry…oh poor child, she must have cried all night…" aditya rambled…jai smirked…remembering the never-ending night…it surely was the most beautiful night of his life…
"I made love to her…" he blurted bluntly with a sheepish grin…
"I know what happened was wrong…but bani…what is her mistake in all this…she always cared for you and you…I am sick of you jai…when will you…" aditya stopped mid-way…realizing what his best friend cum brother-in-law had just uttered…
"What...what did you say…??"aditya said in disbelief…
"Well…we have accepted each other and this marriage…"
"I…finally you got some sense fool…I can't tell how happy I am…Bani is perfect for you…I am glad you realized that how much bani cares for you and may be even loves you…"
"I know adi…I know…" he said glancing at the woman who taught him what true love was…
"This is breaking news; I can't wait to tell this to jigyasa…she will have a heart attack…"
"Adi…shut up…no need to tell anyone…we are husband and wife…the world knows it…and I am not updating anybody on my marital status…"
"Okay…Okay…but…When are you coming back???"
"Not until next week…" jai said walking towards the bed, seeing bani move… in the process of waking up…
"Anu ki shaadi bhi toh hain????"
"We will be back adi…now get lost…my wife is awake…" jai disconnected the phone, switching it off before aditya could say anything from the other side… he crept inside the duvet…her eyelids flickered…she gathered the comforter to her front watching him entice her in the cage of his arms…she lowered her head…
"I…its morning…let me go…" she whispered shyly…
"Not so soon…Mrs. Bani Jai Walia…" he came over her…luring her into the labyrinth of love and lust…
Bani lay awake…tired…her body ached…she had never been subjected to such physical riot, she had even forgotten the time, day and date…her husband didn't leave her even for a minute or two…she had never imagined Jai Walia to be so vigorously passionate, whatever it was he was a man after all and also known to have a colorful salacious past…
"What are you thinking…??" he nuzzled her neck, tickling her lightly…she giggled…
"How many girlfriends did you have???" she asked turning to face him…
"At one time many…" he answered honestly…
"Were they pretty…?"
"Yes…" he replied trying to gauge her expression…he noticed her glowing face fell…he waited for her to speak…she spoke up after a few moments of unmoving silence…
"Jigyasa aunty is right…I…I can never match up to you…" she said biting her lower lip, clutching the pillow in a tight fist, struggling to stop her flooding tears…
"Heyy…bani…look here…look at me…" he lifted her chin…
"Koi kuch bhi kahe…you are my wife and I am your husband…nobody can change that…not now…or never…yes…I had many women in my life but they were just pretty…they weren't beautiful and caring and loving and understanding and intelligent and cultured and sweet and cute…like you…"
Bani blushed profusely hearing the string of compliments he showered on her…
"Liar…" she poked his chest… turning around, falling on her back…
"I don't lie…" he came near her whispering in her ear…
"Jhoot…" she said suppressing her bubbling laughter…
"Sach…" he leaned over her…
"Jhoot…"
"Bilkul sach…" he dug his teeth in her bare shoulder causing her to yap…she twined her arms around him…smiling at him sweetly…
"I am sorry for everything bani…" he said…
"I don't want to remember it…" she raised herself…kissing his forehead, then his eyes…

The End…
God bless
