Truth and Dare
"ye Kya kar rahe ho tum dono" Tapish entered the room and looked at Bani. Bani was holding a bottle in her hand and was about to throw it in direction of Veer.
"Wo.. wo Mai.." Bani started to speak
"Tum logo ko pata h na Papaji ne saaf saaf kaha tha ki agar tum dono ne apne differences mend nahi kiye to he won't accept this marriage anymore" Tapish closed the door behind him and sternly addressed them
"Bani, yaad h na tumhe, Jay ki sachai samne ayi the to tumne wada Kia tha is rishte ko chance Dogi.. tumhari wajah se Veer us din Marne Wala tha.." Tapish added
"Bhaiya.." Bani didn't know what to say
"Bhai aap faltu m bani ko sunaye ja rhe h.. wo bottle se mjhe mar nahi rahi the.. wo to hume bottle spin krni the na.. hum truth and dare khel rahe the" Veer lied trying to save Bani. It's been a week to that eventful night when he was almost dead because he thought Bani was the one murdering him, until she came and they both realised it was Jay. His Family held her responsible for his near death experience and they were hell bent on breaking this marriage but he somehow convinced them. Bani promised to give this marriage a chance but she was so stubborn to accept her feelings.
"Han, hum khel rahe the" bani spoke softly knowing very well she was about to throw the bottle because he was irritating her, he was mocking her again for trusting Jay.
"Oh really? So who won?" Tapish asked
"No one but strong chances I might." Veer shrugged his shoulders
"Okay carry on" He smiled and left the room.
"Truth and dare? We are playing truth and dare?" Bani giggled
"No but I had to think of something no" He rolled his eyes
"I know you're scared to play but you shouldn't have mentioned you were about to win" she said
"Are you implying we should play?" He asked
"Am I?"
"Sab itta gol gol kyu ghumati ho, gol gappa ho Kya?" He moved towards her, she laughed at his words "gol gappa" she repeated
"Chodo ye sab, I was anyway about to sleep" she added
"no need to play but simply accept that you lost and we both can sleep" He smiled
"Forget it, loser" Vani chuckled
"Then let's spin the bottle" He sat across her and spinned the bottle in the center
"Ask" Bani said as the bottle pointed towards her
"Were you not afraid of marrying me? You knew all along who I am" Veer asked.
"Honestly it was so sudden, I didn't have a choice and why would I be scared, you know who I AM" She winked
"So you're saying if you had a choice..you wouldn't.."
"You can't ask two questions in one go, Veer, my turn" she said
He nodded.
"What was the best moment of our marriage"
"I think every moment but, to mention one, it was when they told me you saved me from the Naagmani ka zeher, you know Bani I asked Tapish bhai at least 10 times how you saved me..I was happy that you saved me, I think I would've died every day if you would've been there to save me, those days I craved for you so much, but now when I know how you saved me.. knowing I was your enemy.. I am thankful" he smiled
Bani was intently looking at him, staring at his face
"What do you mean those days you craved for me? I mean the, past tense?" She raised her brow
"No I mean.., excuse me, one question in one go" Veer reminded her
"Fine!" She sighed "your turn"
"One thing you like me for" He asked
Bani : your wife
V : same pinch, that's the only thing I like me for.
B : haha, what is your idea of perfect date?
V : you and me and that's all
B : I am afraid you flirt too much
V : I love too much, my turn, Why were you staring at Mayuri's engagement ring?
B : God, you are keeping an eye on me?
V : you had no idea? I have been doing this since a long time now but that's not the answer to my question
B : I liked it
V : you think, I will believe you
B : Fine, I was wondering, we were not engaged so I don't wear an engagement ring
V : I do.
B : you are crazy, I am normal. Anyway, my turn, why do you love me when you know I don't.
V : how can you say that?
B : I have seen you, you say that yourself you love me.
V : how can you say, you don't? I think you do.
B : that's bold of you to hope but nope. Your turn.
V: So Bani, you don't love anyone?
B : "I do" she whispered.. "and ask me who in the next turn" She giggled
V :"Whatever!"
B :"Are you a.. Virgin..Veer?" She smirked, proud of her self
Veer was shocked at her audacity "hello Mrs Singhania, this is highly inappropriate" He added
B : "You can pass..and lose.. you have a choice" She innocently stated
Veer : I choose to answer.. yes I am.
Bani : I don't believe you, but okay, your turn
Veer : who do you love?
Bani: Shahrukh Khan
V : I don't remember changing my name
B : I don't remember it either
V : this is cheating how can you love someone you haven't met ?
B : i have been doing that for 1000 Divya varsh, ain't no difficult for me
V : Don't talk about Jay
B : I am talking about you
V : very funny.. he said and processed her statement
"Come again?" He looked at her
"Good night" she quipped
"Arey, bolo na" He sat beside her
"Kya?"
"Jo abhi kaha" he asked
"Good night?"
"No Bani, that you were talking about me" He said
"Why ask,when you heard it" she smirked
"Bani, fir tum gol gol baate.." he Started
"Gol gappa hu na" she cut him and they both started laughing.
It has been there journey from hatred to love. And Bani knew all along, whether she was Naageshwari or Bani, she has always been in love with this man, and she won't, for anyone, let this man go.
