Veer noticed the unshed tears in bani's eyes. She didn't say anything but he knew she was really upset about the happenings. And on top of that veer couldn't actually remember what happened between them that night. He was not actually out of hypnotism. He was out of it to an extent but not completely.

It has been three days after veer returned to singhania mansion.
(In my story the curse part won't be shown. Veer is fine. He didn't lose his powers ) . Bani was trying hard to be normal but veer and meera could understand her worries. Veer knew he has to talk to her but whenever he tried she avoided him. Veer sighed looking at bani who was busy in serving the breakfast to his family.

Bani looked at veer. She knew only their talk can ease the things. But whenever he tries to talk with her, she remembers their night and it makes her sad. She fears an outburst. She doesn't want veer to see her emotional and vulnerable side. She doesn't want him to see her as a weak woman. That's why she simply avoids him. But she knows, it won't go long, she will have to talk with him.

"Kya khaoge" Bani asked veer.

"Kuch bhi chalega " Veer said looking at her almost pleading with his eyes to agree for a talk.

"Sandwich khalo... " Bani put two sandwich on his plate. She was about to go but veer held her hand and made her sit. He served her food.

"Tum bhi khao" Veer said.

"Haan bani... Tum bhi khao...kuch dinom se tum akeli kha rhi ho... Kya hua... Sab theek haina? " Balwant asked. No matter how much he hates her, he is forever grateful to her for saving veer from chandhni.

"Haan daddy ji main theek hoon... I am okay. " Bani said and started eating.

Veer was looking at her now and then. He wanted his old bani back. He wanted her  to fight with him with full right. If she slaps him, he will accept it happily because he know he deserves it. But this bani was someone whom veer doesn't know.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Veer entered their room and found bani making the bed. He heaved a sigh. He should make her talk to him, he thought.

"Bani" Veer called softly.

"Haan veer. Bolo... Kuch chahiye? " Bani asked without turning to him.

"Haa... Mujhe kuch chahiye"

"Kya chahiye....? " Bani asked, completing her work.

"Mujhe meri puraani bani vapis chahiye. Milega? " Veer asked. Bani sighed , moving towards the mirror. She took out the lotion and started applying it on her body.

"Bani... Please.... Aisa mat karo... Please mujhse baat karo " Veer said.

"Veer tum thake huye honge. So jao " Bani said. That was it. Veer was tolerating her silence for too long. He needed his wife back, by hook or crook.

Veer went towards her and snatched the lotion, throwing it away he pulled her closer.

"Problem kya hain tumhari? " Veer asked.

"Mujhe koi problem nHi hain. Tum aise behave kyu kar rahe ho. " Bani asked. Avoiding his gaze on her, fearing that he could read her eyes and look through her soul.

"Bani.... Main tumhaara pati hoon.... Tumhein mujhpe poora haq hain....jabse main wapis aaya hoon tab se main dekh raha hoon, tum mujhse theek se baat nhi kar rahi ho, tum... Tum at least mujhse fight toh karo.... Main tumhein aise nhi dekh sakta....maine jo kiya... Uske liye maafi kaise maangoon... Mujhe nhi pata.... Main apne hosh main nhi tha par.... Par main jaanta hoon jo bhi hua usmai  meri bhi galati hain. Maine tumhaara dil dhukaaya hain. Theen dinom se main teri peeche pada hoon. Par tum ho ki mujhse baat bhi nhi kar rahi ho. Agar aisa karna tha toh mujhe bachaake laayi kyun? " Veer shouted at the last part.

Bani pushed him away. Anger evident in her eyes .

"Veer tum sab bhool gaye... Pehli baar main tumse apni dil ki baat ka izhaar kiya. Maine tumhein bataya tha ki tum kya ho mere liye.... Tumhari importance kya hain....us din... Us din hum donom ke beech jo kuch bhi hua.... I am stuck there veer.... Mujhe pata hain tumhein yaad nahin hain aur ismain tumhari koi galti bhi nhi hain... Main nhi jaanti kyun.... Par... Main us raat ko bhool nhi pa rhi hoon.... Tumhein woh sab yaad nhi hain... Ye sochkar mujhe bhut bura lag rha hain.... Mujhe nhi pata ki main kya karoon aur tumhein kaise samjaoon... Par veeranshu mujhe sach main bhut bura lag rha h. Main nhi chahti ki main gusse main tumhein kuch bol doon jise lekar baad main mujhe regret karna pade. Isliye main Tumse baat nhi kar rahi hoon... Main tumhein hurt nhi karna chahti " Bani said.

"Main tumhara pati hoon bani... Tum jaanti ho mujhe bura kis baat ka lag raha hain? Is baat ka ki tum mujhe apni dil ki baat nhi bata rhi ho.... Bani tumhari khamoshi mujhe sata rahi hain  sweetheart.... Tumhare dil main jo kuch bhi hain... Share karlo... Tum darti kyun ho... Tum meri bani ho na?... Meri bani kab itni kamzor pad gayi... I fell in love with that bani who didn't give a damn to me... Who didn't care what I think about you.. You always spoke of your heart... Tumhein haq hain bani.... Tumhein mujhe daandne ka haq hain... Mujhe maarne ka haq hain... Tum mere saath kuch bhi karo.... Main khush hoon... Par please don't be silent. It hurts " Veer said pecking her forehead. Bani, after three days hugged him. Veer felt so happy that finally his wife hugged him. He was waiting for this.

"Veer main sach main dar gayi thi... Mujhe nhi pata tha ki main kya karoon... Mujhe khud pe gussa aaya... Mujhe ek pal keliye laga ki tum bas mujhe paana chahte the. Meri dimaag ne maan liya ki tumne mujhe cheat kiya but ye jo dil haina... Ye maanne ko taiyaar hi nhi tha..  Ye kehta raha ki veer aisa nhi hain... Mera veer aisa nhi karega.... Jab main tumhein milne aayi toh chandhni ne kaha ki tum usse shadi kar rahe ho.... Main toot gayi veeranshu. Main rona nahin chahthi thi par maine bhut roya... Meera di ko hug karke..... Jab sixth phera khathm hone ja raha tha, toh mujhe laga tum kabhi wapis nhi aaoge mere paas. Satyug ki tarah kalyug main bhi tum mujhe dhoka dhoge..... Veer main nhi jaanti ki ek din main main kitni baar mari  thi.... Sach main dil toot gaya veer and jab tum wapis aaye aur tumne mujhse ye kaha ki tumhein woh sab yaaad nhi hain... Tab..... Tab mujhe kuch smj nhi aa rha tha.... Meri zindagi ka sabse acha din tha woh... Jisse main pyaar karti hoon , main poori tarah uski hogayi thi..... Par..... Par tumhein woh yaad nhi tha.... Main khudko samjaane ki kosish kar rhi hoon veer par ye dil hain ki maanta nhi...... I am sorry veer.... I know you don't like the word sorry.... But I don't know what else I should say. I know I hurt you.... I avoid you... May be all this is happening to me bcz I hurt you a lot in the past. I didn't acknowledge your love. I didn't care about your feelings. May be that's why it's happening. " Bani said and cried her heart out. Veer kept on caressing her hair.

He never wanted to see her like that. He wanted his bani back but he knew untill they solve this matter, they can't be the same veer and bani.

"Bani.... Sweetheart... I don't know main kaise maafi maaangoon... Mujhe pata hain maine tumhein bhut hurt kiya hain... Main jaanta hoon ki humne hamare rishte ko next level pe le gaya tha but.... But mujhe sab kuch toh yaad nhi hain.... Hamare baatein and all yaad nhi hain mujhe... Main tumhein ye nhi keh sakta ki tum us baat ko bhool jao and aage bado kyunki main bhi jaanta hoon ki woh moment kitne special the. Even if I don't remember clearly.... I know it must have been the best day of our life. I am not asking you to forget it neither I am asking you to forgive me. I am asking for a second chance. Will I get it? " Veer asked honestly.

Bani looked at his face before nodding.

"Thank you sweetheart" Veer said hugging her again.

Bani reciprocated it with the same passion. She missed him like hell.... She missed being in his arms... She missed their nok jok... All together she missed everything about him.

Suddenly bani pulled back and gave him a questioning look.

"Kya hua? " Veer asked.

"Woh... Will you mind if I do something? " Bani asked veer honestly.

Veer nodded in a no. Bani went a little away from him.

*slap* *slap* *slap*

Veer looked at her shocked. He rubbed his cheeks only to realise she had strong hands.

Bani came forward and kissed him on his cheeks.

"I won't say sorry. I was longing to slap you since the time you returned. " Bani said hugging him tighter.

"So gussa tanda hogaya? " Veer asked.

"Haa....nhi.. Poora toh nhi gaya.... Par ab theek hain.... Zyada dard toh nhi ho rha na" Bani asked concerned.

"Dard toh hain sweetheart. Mard ko dard hota hain....par theek hain.... I deserve it"

"Yes you do"

"I thought you will say no... You don't deserve it or something like that... "

"Don't you know your wife ghar wale?"

" Wow gharwali not bad.... " Veer winked at her. Bani smiled.

Later they slept on each other's embrace with a content smile on their lips.

There you go with another one.... I know it's a crap... Still bear with it girls....

With love
