Manvi was at her home, she was preparing notes on her laptop. She remembered something and opened the web browser. She typed the name "Aarav Malhotra" and many articles appeared in the search engine regarding him. She opened them and it had all about his success, his love affairs, and his attitude toward people. Was surprised her is that nowhere there is mention of his daughter "Khushi Malhotra".

Dhruv walked into the room and she immediately closed the web browser out of fear. He sat down beside her and smiles "kaafi din ho gaye hai main soch raha tha hum kahi ghumne chale" he said

Manvi refused "abhi nahi Dhruv bacho ke board exams nazdeek hai main abhi chutti nahi le paungi"

"Kya bache bache lagake rakhti ho? Tumhara mere prati kuch farz hai ki nahi?" he said angrily holding her face in between his palm.

She gets emotional hearing him "galti bhi tumhari hai Dhruv.. " she said in a low tone. Dhruv stared at her.

"Tum kehna chahti ho?" he questioned her.

"Kuch nahi.." she denied and continued her work. Dhruv closed her laptop and turned her towards him.

"Nahi bolo ilzam laga rahi ho tum mujhe?" Dhruv asked holding her jawline tightly in his hand.

She had tears in her eyes and said "sach hai.. Tumhari hi wajah se maine apne.." she paused and he pushes her hard to which she ends up hitting her head on the bed backboard. Dhruv walked out of the room and closed her eyes in disappointment. A pain reflected in her eyes but she couldn't help herself.

Malhotra Mansion

It was early morning, and Aarav got ready to leave for the office. His phone rings and it was the manager. He picks up the phone "bolo Sharma"

"Sir international clients meeting karna chahte hai contract mein kuch terms rediscuss karne hai unhe" he informed

Aarav yelled at him "Terms rediscuss nahi honge samjhe tum! Main apne coniditions pe kaam karta hun dusre ke nahi"

"Sir lekin" he tried to explain.

"Lekin hona nahi chahiye business mein got that! Agar nahi mante hai toh cancel the contract I don't care" Aarav spoke sternly and ends the call.

He moves out of the room and descends the stairs. He sits for breakfast and eyes at Khushi.

"Wo tuition teacher thik padhati hai?" He asked

Khushi didn't reply, Aarav rolled his eyes at Sharda and asked her to question her.

"Beta tumhari mam..' Sharda spoke but Khushi interuppted

"Inse kahiye apna dekhe main apna khud dekh lungi.. Wo inse toh better hai" Khushi replied

"Khushi teacher hai wo aur mai.." he paused

"Aap Mr. Malhotra hai janti hun aur kyu subah subah aap mujhse argue karte rehte ho?" Khushi confronted her.

"Maine bas sawal kiya tha" he said

"Aur main aapko jawab dena zaroori nahi samajhti hun" Khushi replied

"I deserve to know I am your father" He banged his hand on the table hard.

Khushi got up from the table and shouted "aapka ye chillana yaha nahi chalega.. Sab darte honge aapse par main nahi samjhe aap"

Aarav closed his eyes for a moment and exhales deeply "tum baat bhi kaha sunti ho meri" he said in a soft tone

"Kyun sunu main aapki? Mujhe nahi sunni hai.. Aap jaake apna kaam karo affairs karo aur drink karo mera main dekh lungi" Khushi yelled at him. She picked up her bag and moved a few steps.

"Nashta aise beech mein mat chodo" Aarav said

"Aapse ladai karke na mera peth bhar gaya hai.. Thanks for spoiling my mood early in morning" Khushi replied and walked towards the exit.

Aarav left his plate in the middle and got up. Sharda looked at him and said "beta tum toh aise nashta mat chodo beech mein"

"Beti bhooki gayi hai toh main kaise kha sakta hun? School se aayegi toh khana khila dena" He said and moves out of the house. Khushi had left in the other car and just sighed in disappointment.

He reached the office in half an hour, and as soon as he entered everyone got up from their desk and wished him good morning.

"I want the monthly report in my cabin in a minute" he ordered the managing director and walked to his chamber.

He grabbed his place and turned on the laptop. There was a knock on the door "Come in" he said

The door opens and a girl in mid-20s walks into the room, she keeps the file on his desk and said "Here is the report sir"

He eyed her and she was a new face "tum?" he asked

"Aapki new secretary" she replied with a smile on her face

"Reyna set a meeting with the clients and at 2 pm" He informed and threw a file towards her.

Reyna picked it up and moved out of his chamber. "He is hot" she murmured and moved to her desk.

St. Xavier's School

Khushi was in the canteen with her friends. She heard a few teachers gossiping about something.

"Shrishti ye dekh magazine.. He is damm hot!" she showed her the phone

"Kuch toh sharam kar.. Abhi shaadi hui hai teri" other one said

"Haa toh? Sabka celebrity crush hota hai mera toh ye hai Aarav Malhotra" she said

Khushi got up and moved towards to their desk "Excuse me mam! Aap yahan padhane aati hai na toh sirf padhayie.. Warna complain kar dungi aap log yahan pe aisi baatein karte hai"

"Tumhe kyun itni mirchi lagti hai beta? Hum jab bhi iss insaan ki baat karte hai? Koi lagta hai kya tumhara ye?" Shrishti asked

"Baap toh nahi hai iska?" other commented

"Nahi yaar! He is single.." Shrishti said

Khushi throws the plates on the table in anger and walks out of the canteen. "Jahan dekho ye hote hai! Can't I get some piece without his name.." she murmured in anger and leaves the school mid-way.

She returns home and marches straight to her room. She lays down on the bed and shuts her eyes. A tear escaped down her eyes as she misses her mother. "I hate you Mr. Malhotra aapne meri mumma ko mujhse door kiya"

It has been three hours and Khushi hadn't stepped out of her room, Sharda knocked her door but Khushi yelled "mujhe akela chod do mujhe nahi khana hai kuch"

Meanwhile, Manvi parks her scooty at the main gate.. She walked to the pathway and enters the hall of the bungalow. She found Khushi's bag on the floor and sighed deeply. A maid was about to pick it up but Manvi stopped her "rehne dijiye jisne pheka hai wahi uthayegi"

She heads upstairs and saw Sharda standing at the door. Manvi asked "kya hua Sharda kaki? Aap aise room ke bahar kyun khadi hai?"

"Teen ghante se andar hai kuch khaya bhi nahi hai isne.. Aarav aayega toh hum sabpe chillayega.." she said in concern.

Manvi sighed "aur kar bhi kya sakte hai wo" she murmured and knocked Khushi's door.

Khushi shouted "just leave.. Mujhe nahi baat karni hai kisise"

"Khushi.. Darwaza kholo padhane aayi hun" she replied

Khushi gets up and marched towards the door. She opens the door and stared at her. She walks back inside and sits down on the bed crossing her arms across her chest. Manvi steps inside and sat down beside her.

"Kya hua? School se aise kyun aa gayi tum?" she asked softly

Khushi didn't answer her, Manvi turned her towards her. "Mujhe bata sakti ho I promise dantungi nahi" she said keeping her hand on her head.

She informed her everything. Manvi glanced at her and asked "toh kya tum aise badtameezi karogi apni teachers ke saath?"

"Par wo log.." she explained

"Wo kya Khushi? Tum school padhne jaati ho.. Koi teacher kya karta hai kya kehta hai isse tumhe matlab nahi hona chahiye acha ye batao tumhara koi celebrity crush hai?" Manvi asked

"Haa. hai" she replied.

"Mera bhi ek crush hai wo cricketer hai.. Ab agar tumhari teacher ka crush tumhare papa hai toh isme galat kya hai?" Manvi explained to her gently.

"Wo mere father nahi hai" She glared at her

"Acha baba nahi hai! Chalo ab khana khalo warna padh nahi paogi" she said and Sharda stepped in with the food plate.

Khushi denied, Manvi smiles "are khane pe gussa nikalne se kya sab thik ho jayega haan?" she asked

Khushi shook her head in no "toh chalo khana khao warna sabki naukri jayegi" she said and Khushi smiles a bit hearing her.

She ate the food and in a few seconds her mood changed. Sharda was just surprised by the way Manvi handled her. Sharda walked out taking the plate and Manvi smiles at her "Good.. toh ab padhai karte hai" she said

Khushi agreed and Manvi began to teach her.
