In the silence of the night, a beautiful building, Rajvansh Villa, is standing proudly decorated like a bride. And why not it is the reception of the younger son of the Rajvansh family.
People from wealthy and influential families are roaming gracefully with drinks in their hands greeting and meeting each other with fake sweet smiles on their faces.
But among those fake smiles, one real smile is shining the brightest in the whole garden. Her soft lips curve in a genuine smile while she is talking with one of the guest. She turn her head slightly to find the particular person in the crowd.
She sigh internally before giving a smile to the person she was talking with and excusing herself.
"Preet!!" her head snapped at the sound.
"Hi Chhoti Ma," she ask the lady who was dressed in an elegant silk saree with minimal jewelry.
"Did you see Veer? I am looking for him for 15 minutes," the lady said in hurry.
"I will see," saying Preet run upstairs knowing very well where to find him, her husband.
She softly knock on the wooden door with a racing heart waiting for permission.
"Come in," comes a deep cold voice.
She fists her sweaty palms before twisting the knob of the door and slowly stepped inside. Her bangle and anklet make a very soft and soothing sound in the silence.
She clears her throat to show her presence in the silent room while her eyes are fixed at the back of the person standing near the huge glass window.
"Veer..." she whispers in her soft voice.
"Everyone is looking for you," she said while absentmindedly playing with her engagement ring.
"Hmm" he replies in his cold voice.
She didn't move or went out of the room, waiting for him.
He turn around slowly with a cigarette between his fingers and stares at her without any emotion. Well nothing new for her.
Then his eyes move all over her body and suddenly he felt something in his heart looking at her beauty. She is breathtakingly beautiful and he knows it very well. But he is not someone for whom looks matter. Looks are not everything. He always admires her for her simplicity and kind nature than that of her beauty.
"You shouldn't smoke," she states looking directly into his cold dead eyes.
He didn't say anything just simply smack the cigarette under his polished shoe.
"let's go," he said after fixing his coat. She nodded and follow him.
As they reached near the garden where the party is going, he forwards his hand to her. She smiles a little before placing her small hand on his big one.
Everyone's gaze turned toward the entrance as the couple entered hand in hand. Preet's cheek turns red feeling people staring at them.
They meet their guests together. Everyone praises them and blesses their beautiful bond.
"Bhabhi...thank God!! I was searching for you," Suddenly the young run toward them in hurry.
"What happened? Why are you running like this? You are groom, Aari," Preet said rolling her eyes at the young man.
"I need your help with my tie, Bhabhi," he said showing his messy tie.
She smack his head lightly and stepped near him to fix his tie.
"Who will say you are married? And you leave Avni alone. You should ask her help," he huff and said
"I ask her for help but madam is busy taking selfies with her nosy chipkali friends. You tell me Bhabhi, it's not even a day since our wedding she already started ignoring me," he said with fake sadness and place his head on her shoulder while wiping his fake tears dramatically.
Veer who is silently standing there with a straight face and arms cross in front looking at his drama queen brother with boring eyes and scoff at his horrible acting.
"If you are done with your drama, silent go on the stage. Avni must be feeling awkward greeting the guest all alone. Go!" he sternly said done with his childish act.
He pout cutely at him but gulp in fear as he glares hard at him.
"Saddu!" he mutter before running away from there. Preet cover her mouth to stop herself from laughing at his face.
"Laugh loudly Mrs. Veer Rajvansh. But don't forget at the end we have to share the same room," he said and smirk dangerously making her eyes widen. She vigorously shook her head and run away making excuse.
He shake his head before he got busy with guests.
Preet is standing between women who were gossiping nonsense. She pastes a fake polite smile as they are talking and laughing.
"Preet, when are giving good news?" one of the ladies asked in a teasing manner while others look at with curiously.
Preet look at them and try her best to keep her smile intact.
"Yes, preet darling it's been almost six month since your wedding. You know Mrs. Singhania's daughter-in-law is already 2 months pregnant that too within 4 months of their marriage," a lady said with a mocking smile.
"That's really nice. But Aunty I think it is their choice. Veer and I are not ready for a baby yet. We both are really busy with our work right now. Having a Baby is a huge responsibility. But I will surely inform you as soon as we will have our baby," Preet said and smile sweetly at the end.
Preet excuse herself and turn around to go but her eyes land on the person who is looking at her with an evil smirk.
Preet froze in her place as the person approaches her and stand in front of her.
"How is my lovely sister doing?" she asked lovingly but the look in her eyes says otherwise.
"Aww...are you happy to see me, present?" Preet look at her without any emotion.
"okay leave it, where is my brother in law? I really missed him," Preet first her hand tightly as she mentioned her husband.
"Stay within your limit, Ruhi. And you are not my sister, just a cousin. So better mind your limits in my house," Preet warn her then started walking away from there with her mood spoiled.
Ruhi look at the preet walking figure and grit her teeth while her hold tightens around the champagne glass.
"This was all mine. This house, all this luxury even your so called husband. Dont worry I will take what is mine. Very soon," she gulp the champagne in one go still glaring at Preet who is talking with Avni.
"You are talking about Veer Singh Rajvansh, darling," a voice whispers behind her making her snap her head toward the person.
"Who are you?" Ruhi asked in confusion seeing the unfamiliar person.
"You can consider me as your friend. You know enemy's enemy is a friend," that person with evil smile as she stares at Veer and then look at Ruhi.
Ruhi suddenly smiles at the person as they chuckle before taking a drink from the waiter and cheering looking at their target.
Preet is smiling while admiring Aarav and Avni dancing together. She clap happily and give flying kisses to the couple as their dance ended with loud cheering from the crowd.
Avni hides her red face in Aarav's chest as he kisses her cheeks in front of everyone. Preet chuckled at their cuteness.
She looked at Aarav who took the mic from the host. She smiles and gets excited thinking he is going to say something romantic to Avni.
"People hold your heart as now it turns for my Bhai and Bhabhi to dance together. Are you ready guys??"
A loud cheer of yes echoes in the garden.
Preet is too stunned to give any reaction whereas Veer is firing a glare at him almost ready to kill him.
"Come on Bhai Bhabhi. You can thank me later," Aarav said looking at him from the stage and winked at Preet.
Suddenly all the lights goes off and spotlights fell on them who are standing at the few steps away from each. Preet fidget her ring in anxiety while looking at him then look around the garden as the people are staring at them.
Suddenly they pushed toward each other by a force. Veer quickly hold her waist in reflex as she fell on his chest, smacking her face against his hard chest.
She look up at his face with her beautiful hazel orbs staring deep into his hypnotizing blue one. Her palm tightly fisted his coat collar.
She startles when he slips his arms around her pulling her to himself at the same time a song started in the background.
Jise zindagi dhoondh rahi hai
Kya ye woh makaam mera hai
Yahaan chain se bas ruk jaaun
Kyun dil ye mujhe kehta hai
Jazbaat naye se mile hain
Jaane kya asar ye huaa hai
Ik aas mili phir mujhko
Jo qubool kisi ne kiya hai
Veer stare at her serene face which is glowing under the golden light. He slowly raise his right hand toward her face before tucking a loose strand behind her ear.
Preet almost flinch feeling his cold fingers behind her ear. Her heart beats running in an insane speed.
Haan...
Kisi shaayar ki ghazal
Jo de rooh ko sukoon ke pal
Koi mujhko yun mila hai
Jaise banjaare ko ghar
Naye mausam ki sehar
Yaa sard mein dopahar
Koi mujhko yun mila hai
Jaise banjare ko ghar
Hmm...
Jaise koi kinaara
Deta ho sahaara
Mujhe wo mila kisi mod par
Koi raat ka taara
Karta ho ujaala
Waise hi roshan kare woh shehar
Dard mere woh bhula hi gayaa
Kuch aisa asar huaa
Jeena mujhe phir se woh sikha raha
Gathering a little confidence, Preet slowly wrap her arms around his neck as their body softly swaying on the tone of the song.
Hmm.. Jaise baarish kar de tar
Yaa marham dard par
Koi mujhko yun mila hai
Jaise banjare ko ghar
Naye mausam ki sehar
Yaa sard mein dopahar
Koi mujhko yun mila hai
Jaise banjaare ko ghar
"Why you never smile at me?" Preet asked him as she get comfortable with his touch and proximity. Her lips formed a little pout remembering his cold bahavior toward her.
Muskaata yeh chehra
Deta hai jo pehraa
Jaane chhupata kya dil ka samandar
Auron ko toh har dum saaya deta hai
Woh dhoop mein hai khada khud magar ...
He didnt say anything. His eyes fell on her pink lips before move to her eyes which has sadness in them. His palm slip inside her saree made contact with her bare soft skin of her back.
Main parinda besabar
Tha uda jo darbadar
Koi mujhko yun mila hai
Jaise banjarey ko ghar
Naye mausam ki sehar
Yaa sard mein dopahar
Koi mujhko yun mila hai
Jaise banjarey ko ghar
He twirl her in his arms taking her off guard. Before again pulling her small body into his arms. He slowly hold her hands which were placing on his shoulders and gently remove them. He step back from her while looking at her face. Her eyes filled with tears as started moving away from her.
Koi mujhko yun mila hai
Jaise banjare ko ghar
Jaise banjare ko ghar.
Jaise banjare ko ghar...
Jaise banjare ko ghar...
He turns around and walks away before lost in the crowd of guests leaving heartbroken Preet standing in the middle of the dance floor.
"Kab tak, Veer...," she whispered to herself with unshed tears shining in her beautiful eyes.
(For how long, Veer...)
