raanjhana; naagin 5 (chapter 3)
veer couldnât figure it out. if bani saved him, and he knew she really did leave for fresh air, then who poisoned him? the only new person was mayuri and so he started suspecting her.
he went to her room to confront her, âmayuri darling, whats wrong? you didnt even check up on me.â
âveer baby, i was so worried. its good your wife was able to save you. i really thought she was gonna prove to be useless but ââ
âdonât. donât say anything against bani mayuri.â
âveer whatâs wrong with you? you havent really fallen for her have you?â mayuri asked shocked.
âbani is my wife. whatâs between us is between us. i donât need to explain myself to youâ
ârelax baby, i was just askingâ
âmayuri, where were you when i got bit?â
âare you suspecting me of something veer?â
âyou seem awfully suspicious. you were tensed when i came in and i can see youâre hiding something now as well. what is it?â veer asked.
âveer, iâm getting engaged to ponky.â
âwhat?â
âponky proposed and i said yes. i want to marry ponky and thatâs what i was afraid to tell you. iâm not hiding anything else.â
bani was passing by when she heard mayuri say this. she was relieved that mayuri wouldnt be all over her husband now but also annoyed that sheâd have to live with her.
âcongratulations, iâm very happy for you & ponky! should we throw the engagement party tomorrow?â bani said entering the room.
âyes of course, iâm glad youâre happy. after all weâre going to be related now.â mayuri said.
âso youâre really getting married to ponky?â veer who was still surprised, asked.
âyes she is jaan, do you have a problem?â bani interjected.
âno sweetheart, call me jaan one more time though. that made my day.â
âokay guys please get a roomâ mayuri said.
bani and veer left to arrange the engagement party that was to happen the next day. the family found out and was extremely surprised but happy for the couple. it was rather shocking since mayuri and veer were the one with a fling.
mayuri decided to go ahead with this engagement because veer started suspecting her and so on the spot she decided to rope ponky into this ordeal.
the engagement starts and because bani was preparing everything, she got ready and came down last. veer was chatting away with friends & cousins. bani stood awkwardly on the side, not knowing anyone. her relationship with veer wasnt such that she could go to him either, it would simply be odd. after a few minutes however, someone came to her and started talking to her.
âhow are you?â
âiâm sorry- do i know you?â
âbani, you forgot your nag?â
âjay?â
âi had to take a different disguise to come here because i didnt know how to reach you. are you okay?â
âoh thank god youâre here. i donât know whatâs happening. everythingâs moving so quick.â
âwhat do you mean? has veer done something? bani this isnt a real marriageâ
âjay i know, and no he didnt do anything. i mean the other day with the poison and me saving him. on top of that this engagement. god i cant stand this mayuriâ
âwhy? because sheâs close to veer? are you getting jealous?â
âjay you know i love you. why would i be jealous? no itâs not that i just cant stand herâ
âokay okay my angry naagin, calm down.â
they both started laughing and cracking jokes. they caught veerâs eye and he was staring at them having a conversation. once they started laughing, he couldnât control himself and joined in the conversation.
âbani sweetheart, you didnt introduce me to your friend.â
âum this is veer, my husbandâ bani told jay who was still in a disguise.
ânice to meet you. you have a lovely wife!â jay said.
âi know. mrs singhania, i need to talk to you.â
âveer iâm talking, iâll come later.â
ânow,â veer said and took bani across the room. tapish was standing nearby and could hear the entire conversation that played out.
âwhat veer? whats your problem?â
âsweetheart. you are my problem.â
âiâm sorry?â
âyou should be. i want him gone.â
âwho?â bani asked
âhim. i want that guy you were talking to gone.â
âwhy?â
âbecause i do. i donât like you talking to him.â
âveer you cant tell me who to talk to and who not to talk to. its none of your businessâ
âoh so yesterday when you wanted mayuri gone, that was fine? but when i want him gone thatâs not my business?â
âmayuri is a different situation. i donât like her. this isnt the same thing. i was just talking to him and no its not your business.â
âbani it is my business. this is my house, you are my wife. this is very much my business. i donât want him here and i donât want my wife flirting with him.â
âveer stop making a scene. i wasnt flirting with him. i was talking to himâ
âi donât care. i donât want you doing anything with him. you are mine, only mine.â
âi'm not yours.â
âiâm kicking him out.â
âveer stopââ
before bani could protest, veer had gone to confront jay and tapish came in the picture.
âbani, iâm sorry to interrupt but can i have a word?â
âyes bhaiya, of course. whatâs wrong?â
âi know that veer can be hard to adjust with. heâs a little stubborn & annoying at times,â
âno bhaiya, very stubborn and annoying all the time.â
âyouâre right i wont argue with you on thatâ tapish said laughing, âbut bani, he loves you. he has never cared for anyone as much as he does for you. he warns all of us on the daily that nothing should happen to you when he leaves the house. he orders the staff to take care of your comfort. mayuri was talking about you earlier before you came down, he stopped her to tell her that youâre his wife and she had no right to speak against you. veer may seem hard on the outside but i promise heâs soft on the inside. he wont show it to any of us but he tries to with you. i know this is a weird situation and your marriage wasnt the way you wanted it to be but please just give him a chance. you wont find someone to love you as much as he does. i can promise you that.â tapish gave bani his word of advice and left.
âyouâre wrong bhaiya, jay loves me and way more than veer could. veer wants me but he doesnât love me. jay loves me. iâm meant for jay not veer.â
do you guys prefer this style of writing and dialogue or the previous chapter? i thought chapter 2 would be easier to write but i didnât love how it turned out so tried it this way and low key i find this more enjoyable to write so i hope you guys like how itâs written as well. next chapter is gonna be very very fun, lots of reveals and some naagin 1 scenes in the mix. also forgot to mention in chapter 2, i don't know veerâs dadâs name or any of their names tbh so oops?
