Mumbai

Virat reached hospital, he went to the room but Manvi was not there. He asked nurse "Where is Manvi??"

"Sir.. wo toh discharge leke chali gayi ghar" she replied.

Virat sighed and went home. He reached house in half an hour due to heavy traffic. He unlocked the door with a spare key. He saw Manvi sitting on the couch and shuffling television channel.

He stood in front of her shooting her his deadly glare. "Mehra ko bheja tha na why did not you came home with him?" he asked.

Manvi gave him a look and said "main kisi ajnabee ke saath nahi aati jaati.."

"He is my employee.. How can you come alone?? Kuch ho jaata toh?? Why don't you listen?" he confronted her.

Manvi stood up from couch.. "Kyun? Meri itni fikar hai toh khud kyun nahi aaye mujhe lene? Raat bhar hospital mein jaagke ruk sakte hai par mujhe discharge karwate ghar nahi chod sakte?" she demanded answers.

"Don't argue with me Manvi.. Tum bhi use janti ho he is not a stranger.." he said firmly.

"Please.. Aapko zaroorat nahi hai meri fikar karne ki I can take care of myself.. Aapki jhoothi humdardi nahi chahiye mujhe" she said. She held her head and was about to fall.

He held her and said in anger tone "you can't take care of yourself.."

She jerked him away. He said in his high peak "enough... bahut hua tumhara bachpana.. Listen to me.. Chup chap room mein chalo"

Manvi shivered hearing such loud voice of his. She silently moved with him into the room. He made her lay on bed and gave her medicines.

He asked in his arrogant tone "kuch khaya?"

She just shook her head in a big no. Virat was more frustrated at her hearing this.. "Seriously?? Are you out of your mind?"

She made a crying face.. "Aap pyar se baat nahi kar sakte kya.. Jab dekho dant te rehte ho.." she said.

"Main aise hi baat karta hun.." he said firmly and moved out of the room.

Manvi frowned.. "Zulmi pati.. Huh.."

After about 20 minutes, he came with food and kept it on the bed.

"Khao.." he ordered.

She ate silently as she does not want to listen to his scolding further.

"Don't you even dare move from here till I return from office.." he instructed her and left for office.

Manvi thought "care hai par zuban pe nahi layenge.. Sirf gussa layenge.."

It was only 4pm, she was so bored sitting in the room. She stepped out and moved to the hall, she played the music and was lost in it.

She remembered Ahana, tears slipped down her eyes. How she broke her trust, she angered and in grief. She started to have a headache remembering all that. She eyed towards the bar and went there. She heard, whiskey is best medicine to forget the pain. She opened it and gulped it down with closed eyes.

Virat returned home as the neighbours complain about weird noises from his house. He marched into the house and saw things scattered on the floor, he was shocked and found some blood traces too.

He searched for Manvi but was unable to find her.

"Manvi.." he said a loud.

"Shh... silence.." he heard her voice.

He tried to locate, he moved to the dining table and looked under it. Manvi was underneath, he asked glaring at her "kya kar rahi ho waha?"

"Shh.. tum bhi chup jao.. Zulmi aayega toh daant lagayega" she said pretending to be scared, she was not in her senses.

He pulled her out, she was not even able to stand properly. He scolded her "Tumne drink ki? Are you out of your mind?"

She smiled and said "I don't have a mind.."

Virat closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "Kya hai? How can you drink?"

"Because.. I was missing her.. Koi meri baat nahi sunta.. Wo sunti thi.." she said making a sad face.

He understood, she was talking about Ahana. He knew both the sisters well, they were life to each other.

She dropped down onto the floor, he held her.

"Pata hai... maine mom dad ko nahi dekha.. Mere liye di hi mom dad thi jo decisions unhone liye maine sab maane but ek decision maanke maine galti kardi.. Wo tha virat se shaadi.. Meri wajah se wo dono alag ho gaye, uss din gusse mein kitna kuch kah diya unhe.. But she was not at fault akhir pyar toh wo unse ab bhi karti thi.. Lekin koi biwi kaise bardasht karti uska pati usko chodke kisi aurke saath hi...." tears slipped down her eyes.

"But I won't forgive her.. Aake ladi bhi nahi mujhse warna toh har baat pe ladti hai maine kaha chali jao toh chali gayi chodke ye bhi nahi socha how will I live without her.. Unke alawa koi mujhse pyar nahi karta.. Ye shaadi toh sirf ek mahine ki bachi hai." she started to sob brutally.

She kept her head on his shoulder, he smeared her head. He heard no noise from her side, he looked at her and she had closed her eyes. He picked her up and took her into the room. He lay her on the bed and covered her with a blanket.

The next morning, Manvi woke up with cold water splashed on her face. She stood up with a jerk, clearing her face and eyes. She looked and it was Virat..

He said angrily.. "Hangover utar gaya ho toh kaam pe chale?"

Manvi frowned, he moved out. Manvi held her head.. "God.. pyar se bol hi nhi sakte hai kuch.."

She moved to the washroom and freshens up. She came out of the room and was shocked to see the bar counter empty.

"Aapki sab bottles kaha gayi?" she asked.

He gave her a look and said "fhek di maine.. Because ladkiyan piti hui achi nahi lagti hai.."

She was surprised, for her he threw away all his whiskey bottles. A smile appeared on her face, it was not only good for her but for Virat too.

He said it clearly "aur sochne mat lagna main ye sab tumhare liye kar raha hun.. I am doing this only because main nahi chahta ahana aake bolo tumne meri behen ko bigad diya wagera wagera.. Got that.."

For a moment, she thought he had started to care for her but he was doing this just for Ahana. Her hopes were shattering slowly. Maybe the marriage will end soon. They left for office..

Virat went straight to his cabin and Manvi moved to her desk.

Delhi

It was Sunday morning, Aarav arrived at Ahana's apartment sharp 11 am. Ahana glanced at him through the window. Her phone rang, she picked up the call.

"Iss tarah khidki se dekh ke time waste mat karo.. Neeche aa jao" Aarav spoke.

Ahana sighed.. "Main nahi aa rahi hun" she replied.

"I am waiting.." he said and ended the call.

Ahana eyed him, few girls passed by him he flirted with them. Ahana was angered with this. Wait? She was getting affected and jealous? Why so? He is just her boss, why does she care if he flirts with someone.

It has been 2 hours since, Aarav have been waiting for her. He smiled.. "Main bhi dekhta hun kabtak nahi aati tum"

It started to rain, and it was evening 7pm. Ahana came to the balcony and saw him still waiting for her getting drenched in rain. Is he mad or what? She finally moved downstairs taking the umbrella.

She shouted "Aarav.. Ye kya pagalpan hai?? Please go back home.."

Aarav smiled and said "finally tum neeche aa gayi.."

"Please jao.. Mujhe kahi nahi jaana hai tumhare saath.." she said firmly.

"Acha thik hai mat chalo par ek baar baarish ka maza toh lo.." he said childishly.

He sprinkled some water on face and then pulled her into the rain. He took away umbrella from her hand and threw it away in the air.

Ahana looked at him for a moment she was lost in his eyes. There was something in him which was pulling her towards him. She ended up coming downstairs.

He sprinkled water on her face, she gave him an intense look. He closed her eyes with his hand "Feel.. the rain.."

Ahana felt the rain, Aarav stepped back.

Ahana heard a voice, she opened her eyes and found him singing. He signalled her to come, she denied.

He sighed and pulled her. He kept his hand around her waist and held other. He started to dance with her, Ahana was not angered instead she started enjoying.

He said something, to which she was left shocked.

Hey all.. Having exam on 5th sep so won't be able to give any updates.
