An early update, a token of love and appreciation from me to you. Thank you and I love you people.

I am not complaining but I have a question:- Ye GP ke readers hai kon? So far, almost every vote is for me to update TOV but reads of GP are way higher than TOV. Kuch chapters me toh double hai TOV ke...and just a single vote asking for its update? Again, I am not complaining about this but I got curious.

Anyways let's jump into the chapter. I have a surprise at the end of this chapter.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Naina: Sb kharab ho gaya!!! Ab kya hoga maa...ye Bani ko to hum bohot seedha samajhte they pr isne kitna bada jhol kr diya...ye shaadi kr chuki thi!!?? Mujhe to yakeen nahi ho raha hai...aur wahan bridge pr hume ye batane aayi thi?? Wow..

Ranjana: Yakin toh mujhe bhi nahi ho raha hai...maine kya samjha tha is ladki ko, aur ye kya nikli!!!

Jai: Lekin ab hum kya kare? Saara paisa toh uss Veeranshu ko mil jayega! Mera restaurant ab nahi khul payega...

N: To humare pass konse paisa hai...isse toh accha tha usse zinda rakh lete...km se kum har mahine vo kharche ke paise deti thi...ab hum kahan se layenge paise..? Ek idea hai!! Uske pati ko marwa dete hai???

R: Bohot bakwas idea hai!! Vo mar gaya to property charity me jayegi, hume nahi milegi...humare pass ek hi mauka tha jo hum gawa chuke hai..

J: ab?

R: Ab umeed kro humara raaz raaz hi rahe..nahi toh uska vo Buddha dada hume sooli pr chada dega..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Veer was pacing in his living room.

V: sb gadbad ho gayi Bani!!! Shit shit shit!!! I am so so sorry...ugh!! mai bhi na galat logon pr trust kr leta hoon..

Leo was sitting and staring at Veer with worried expression. He looked at Bani and barked softly.

B: Chup, mai baat kr rahi hoon..shh..

Leo went on to silently staring at the two. Bani made Veer sit.

B: Kya hua??

V: Mai kaise batau tumhe kitna bada jhol ho gaya hai!! Tum mujhe chappal se marogi...

B: Nahi bolla to pakka marungi..

V: Bani, uff...(takes a breathe and holds her hand) humari sach me shaadi ho gayi hai..

Bani pulls back her hand and stands up shocked.

B: KYA?

V: Sorry Bani..

B: Pr kaise?

V: Vo hum dress up hokr registrar ke office gaye tha..waha humne photo kheechi for proof aur register me fake entry krwai thi takki koi baad me dekhe toh lage humari shaadi ho gayi hai..

B: Haan...so?

V: Phir humne sign kiya tha aur usne do din pehle ki shaadi ka jaali kagaz bana diya tha..

B: haan...lekin phir??

V: Bani usme aaj ki date hai...aur papers bhi genuine hai...usne confuse kr diya aur shayad humari jagah kissi bechare couple ki nakli shaadi ho gayi hai.. vo to mill gaye aur galti sudhaar lenge office wale pr humari...

B: Humari sach mujh me court marriage ho gayi hai..

Bani sat shocked. Veer walked upto her.

V: I know it is a lot to take in. We were not prepared for this. But Bani, I promise mai tumpr koi zor zabardasti nahi karunga...let us deal with revenge at first. Phir hum is situation ka bhi soch lenge...again, so sorry Bani..

Bani hums and gets up. She is looking a little lost.

V: You sleep in that bedroom. I am taking the one on the left.

B: Hmm....(stops before entering the room) I know it is not your fault. Just let me digest this information. Okay?

V: I understand. Goodnight

B: Goodnight.

Leo looked at the two before rushing to the room to the right.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next day, Veer woke up and came out into the hall. He expected to see a gloomy Bani but what greeted him was a cheerful Bani. She was beating up some batter for pancakes and had also made poha.

V: Wow, I didn't expect..

B: Me to be this cheerful? I know!!

V: So what changed?

B: My perspective. Dekho tumne jaan-bhooj kr toh kuch kiya nahi hai aur jaisa ki tumne kaha, we need to focus on one thing first. Isse hum baad me handle kr lenge...

Veer smiled at Bani. They both had their breakfast and get to planning.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It has been three days since Bani and Veer were staying together and planning. Now they had carefully thought of each part of the plan and were all set.

Veer hired some experts and got Ranjana's house bugged. Now it had loads of camera hidden from eye sight. It was planned that Bani will scare them and whenever they will confess, it will all be on camera.

V: Remember Bani. You have to make sure Naina confesses on Jai pushing you over the bridge and her being his accomplice.

B: Yes Veeranshu.

Bani and Veer reached the house. They had spoken to old staff of the house and they all favoured Bani.

V: Jaisa plan kiya hai waise krna..mujhe ye log pehchan jayenge isliye mai yahan nahi reh skta but mai ass pass hi hoon. I will be in that van watching you over the cameras with the security guy. Trust me agar situation bigdi to mai aa jaunga..

B: I trust you. Thank you.

Veer turned to leave but then turned towards Bani again. He hugged her.

V: stay safe.

Bani hugged him back. His manly scent invading her nose. She felt like home.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jai had gone out to meet a few investors for his restaurant. Now that Bani's property was out of reach, he had to plan something else. Naina was in her room and Ranjana was in the hall.

Bani first stood near the kitchen window. She looked at their cook.

B: Madam ji, sabzi ban gayi hai..aur kya banana hai?

Ranjana got shocked hearing Bani's voice. She looked at the kitchen but Bani had hidden herself till then. The cook repeated what Bani said.

R: (in mind: tera vehem hai bs...uff) Nahi rehne do...

Then, Bani stood near Naina's window.

B: Naina beta, window band kr lo, pani andr aa jayega..

Naina screamed loudly and shut her eyes.

Bani quickly bent down and the gardener stood at her place.

G: Beta...beta..

N: hun? Aap- aap yahan?

G: Haan, window band kr lo beta, mai ye pots me pani de raha hoon, andr aa jayega..

Naina shivered and closed the window. For the next few hours, Bani kept scaring them like this. They were getting really worried and tensed. Now for the final scare, Bani wore the clothes she wore the day she drowned and went into the shower. Her body was now fully went. Another female staff wore same clothes but she covered her face with her wet hair so that her face is not visible. The maid knocked Naina's room and hid herself.

N: Kon hai? Kon hai ..

She was about to go when the cook made some sound in the kitchen. Similarly, a few of them were irritating Ranjana. Both of them rushed out and came to the hall.

N: Maa, kuch ajeeb ho raha hai?

R: Tere saath bhi? Mere saath bhi beta..

N: Maa vo..B-Bani..

Girl: Haan..

She spoke in a grave from the staircase.

N: Maa!!!!!!!

They both stared at the staircase. Naina took the vase and threw it at the staircase. Bani, who was hiding in the kitchen, spoke.

B: That is not nice. But it's okay...mujhe konsa lg jaati...hahaha..

The mother daughter turned and were shocked to see Bani there. They turned but the other girl had already hidden herself.

N: Maa! Ye yahan kaise aa gayi..B-b-bh-bhoot..maa

B: Pta hai atma kb bhatakti hai Naina? Jb uska koi kaam adhoora reh jaye...jb usse badla lena ho...

N: Pr..tumhe toh bridge se dhakka Jai ne diya tha na..

B: Jisse meri zindagi me laye tum!...jiska saath diya tumne...tumne mujhe bachane ki koshish bhi nahi ki..

R: H-haan toh Naina ki galti maan lete hai...maine kya kiya Bani ...

B: Maa..oops...sorry...Sun be chudail! Mere papa se baat krke aa rahi hoon mai...kya kaha tha toone? Car accident me mare they papa...tune mara hai unhe...tune mere baap ko maara aur teri beti ne mujhe...

R: B-bani...mujhe maaf krde...maine tere baap ko nahi maara...haan mujhe ho gaya tha kissi aur se pyaar pr vo pills usne khud khayi thi...maine kuch nahi kiya....

She starts to cry. Bani tortures them with her words. They cry and confess everything.

Meanwhile, Veer is seeing this all from the van.

V: Good job sweetheart! Sb video mill gayi hai...inhe koi nahi baccha skta..

Security guy: Sir, ye dekhiye. Koi ghar aa raha hai..

V: Shit! Ye toh vo fake pati hai jo dhabewala banana chahta hai...ye kahin jaakr sb gadbad na krde..

Veer rushed out. By this time Jai had already reached home. Bani was shocked at she wasn't expecting this. Jai was not a believer of ghost and caught Bani. He threw her against the table and blood came out of Bani's head.

J: Dekha..koi bhoot nahi hai...ye zinda hai humse badla lene aayi hai..

N: Ugh!!!!! Isne hume kitna daraya...isse to chodenge nahi...

R: Ye hume jail bhijwa skti hai...iska zinda rehna thik nahi hai..

J: Isse sach me maar dete hai

AISE KAISE??

All the staff that was supporting her came forth. There were four people. Now Jai-Naina-Ranjana were outnumbered. Veer also rushed and stood near Bani. He saw the wound on her head and punched Jai in the face.

Jai fell on the flood. Blood was oozing out of his nose.

N: You!!

V: You shut up! Tujh jaise neech ladki ko mai mu nahi lagata..

He took his handkerchief out and wiped Bani's forehead. Bani looked at him with doe-like eyes.

V: We outnumber you and everything is on camera. The security guy has already called the police. Your game is over!!

Ranjana sunk to the floor while the maid and the cook caught Naina by her arms. The gardener and another staff caught Jai.

V: Tum thik ho na Bani..

B: haan..

She looked at him and side hugged him.

B: It hurts. Maine jin logon ko family samjha unhone se mere sath aise kiya! Meri apni maa!..yahan dukhta hai Veer (she pointed at her heart)

Veer felt her pain and hugged her. Ranjana whispered something.

V: what was that??

R: I am not her mother.

Okay, firstly, this is going to switch into a conversation mode so if you are not intersted, please skip. I still love you guys and will see you in next chapter.

♡

Now for those who know know I wrote Adhoori kahani after it won the poll I did when I wrapped up Fated. I promised I will write plot 2 after Adhoori Kahani. It was a seperation based track. I am sharing its first look and request you guys to help me pick the final cover.

Any other title suggestions??? Please comment here.

Don't ask me when I will publish it. I don't want to jump into another story after I have just wrapped up Adhoori Kahani. Cover maine dono plots ka saath me bana liya tha because that time I didn't know what you guys will pick. The plot is under heavy construction so this story will take some time.

And now, sending some positivity your way in form of a small poem ♡
