Livid didn't cover what veer was feeling right now.Instead of blood maybe molten lava was flowing through his veins .He was seeing red.But through the haze as he drove off from Singh mansion towards Khurrana Bungalow the lava cooled off replacing it with frost.He was calm when he was driving on the dark road breaking most of the existing speed laws as well some which were yet to be made in future.
He seemed cool ,calm ,composed with not a single emotion giving away his motives.This is how mukul found him when he answered the door.But he didn't get much time to gauge Veer's expression's or lack of it because he was shoved on the floor holding a bloody nose as veer pummeled his fist into mukul's face.
Storming upstairs ,two stairs at a time,Veer scanned all the rooms opening the door with a thud.Finally he reached the end of the corridor and twisted the knob to open the door,it was locked.
Veer turned and thundered downstairs . Mukul was getting off the floor, veer grabbing his throat flattened him against the wall . Veer growled "Keys..".
Pitifully Mukul tried to show off bravado "F**k you".Without losing a beat Veer just increased the pressure of his hold on his neck cutting his air supply off . Mukul was thrashing his arms to be free,his feet were not touching the ground
Suddenly screeching Sasha was beside "O GOD LEAVE HIM".She landed a punch on Veer's shoulder.Nonchalantly Veer turned towards her and repeated "keys" but his hold on mukul instead off loosing was more tightened.
Moving her face from veer to mukul finally she may have got the idea that Veer meant business.
Trotting off her impossibly high heels she left the room and came back finding that the situation in the room is still the same.
"Here..here take these and leave him" she frantically said holding the keys towards Veer. Grabbing the keys with one half,he turned to go upstairs,leaving his hold on Mukul making him land on floor with a thud but Veer couldn't care less.He was already at top of the stairs not paying any heed towards the pathetic noises mukul was making and Sasha was cooing him about being hurt.
*******************************************
Entering the room his heart sank at his feet .Seeing the bed swallowing her .Carefully he picked her in his arms.The warmth of her breathes against his neck was only factor reassuring him from going ballistics on her so called family.
Carefully maneuvering her in the cradle of his arms ,he reached downstairs and ready to leave ignoring the pathetic duo of sasha and mukul as she was tending to mukul's bloody nose with cotton.
He wanted to get out of there as fast as possible.He didn't even want her to share the same air as these people who were a crappy excuse of humans.
As he was approaching the door with the precious bundle in his arms,the wicked witch of east end showed up and started spewing her venom.
"yeh kya ho raha .aur meri beti ko kaha le jaa rahe ho.
Kaise begairat insaan ho .. ek toh apne faide ke liye meri masoom bacchi ko phasaya aur apna matlab nikal te hi usse istemal karke phenk diya.
Tumhe kya laga ananya dimagi marij iska ... ".she didn't get to finish her sentence as veer cut her off
"Pehli baat meri Patni (🥳 ☺️)ke baare soch samajh kar baat kijiye.Aap insaan jaisi bhi ho rishtey mein aap meri patni ki maa hai isliye rishtey ka lihaaz karte huye aap se
tameez se pesh aa raha hoon."
Naintara was ready to blow off like steam engine's whistle.
But before she could utter a word veer imparted "Iss waqt meri patni ki behtari se jyada jaroori kuch bhi nahi hai mere liye."
He just strode off but turned at reaching the threshold to deliver one final advice to the occupants of the room i.e. his so called in-laws
"Aur ek baat Ananya ab meri hai.."though he didn't add the word responsibility/jimedaari.
"Let me make myself clear 'Whats mine I keep ,cherish and protect'"
***************She was drifting in and out of consciousness.She lost sense of time.Her mind was fleeting between slumber and wakefulness.She was aware of sharp exchange of voices,being lifted and carried around.She was laid down on bed ,someone examining her,sting of needle on her skin...
Day and night merged indistinguishably.Veer silhouetted against lamplight.Veer in dawn light looking oddly grey.Maybe there were other people too but it felt like to much effort to remember.
Her eyes opened she was in unfamiliar room.Her mind tried to clear the cobwebs. Then it came to her debacle with piyu's health ,Veer walking out.Her wandering off the mansion through garden exit ; totally heartbroken and dejected.Then everything became fuzzy.
She was untangling herself from the sheets and trying to get off the bed .Old wrinkled hands supported her shoulders.Mrs D'souza helped ananya freshen-up.With water splashed on her face Ananya felt some semblance of normalcy. With proper glance the room,it finally came to her that she was in Veer's room.Same room where her heart was shattered when Veer explained the reality of their marriage and had took off.
