Manvi reached her home, she was anxious as she knew Dhruv will be angry at her for leaving midway. She took a deep breath and gets inside, she finds the lights off. She turned them on and there wasn't any sigh of Dhruv. She had a sigh of relief, she walked to the bedroom and placed her purse on the chair. She entered the bathroom and freshened up.

She stepped out of the bathroom after a while. She found Dhruv standing near the window looking at her. He walked to her and stood behind her. He held her and twisted it behind, she winched in pain as his grip had been extremely tight.

"How dare you insult my family?" he yelled at her.

"Dhruv chodo" she pleaded with him. 

"kyun?? dard ho raha hai haan? sach baat uss waqt bahut kadvee lagi tumhe?" he asked with anger gaze. She gets tears in her eyes remembering the painful past. 

"Sach tumhe bhi pata hai" she said looking into his eyes

"aankhein neeche" He warned her.

She lowers her gaze and he leaves her with a jerk. 

Malhotra Mansion

Khushi had been sitting on the bed and reading a book. She heard some sound from outside, she stepped out of the room and saw a girl with her father on the stairs. "Kitne din tak rehne waali hai aapki ye new gf?" she questioned him crossing her arms across.

He parted away from her, and the girl stared at her in a state of shock "What the hell.. You have such a grown-up daughter?" she said shockingly.

"Yeah he does.. Nahi bataya? So sad.." Khushi said sarcastically. She went back inside the room as she wasn't interested in knowing more about his new girlfriend.

"That's hot! But she is not staying at home after our marriage" she said straightly.

Aarav glared at her and pushed her down the stairs. The girl rolls down to the ground floor and injures her head. Aarav walked down to her and gave her a look "No one is allowed to misbehave with my daughter.." he said angrily

"Lekin" she tried to explain.

"No lekin.. Haven't you heard I am never serious about any relationship? Socha bhi kaise I will marry you? Just fuck off" he yelled at her.

She stood up and warned him "I will destroy you, Mr. Malhotra"

"In a minute I can destroy you! Wait.. tumne meri beti ko iss ghar se nikalne ki baat ki" he shouted for the servant to get his phone from the room. The servant obey him and in a few minutes brought his phone. He passed him the phone and Aarav did something.

The girl received an email, she checked and was left shocked at her place. "Tumne deal sign ki mere saath aur mujhe hi job se nikalwa diya!" she said in disbelief.

Aarav smiled and kissed her lips lightly "You were hot! You could have enjoyed more lekin tumne meri beti ki baat karke galat kiya so get lost"

He went to the bar and picked up the whiskey bottle. He poured it into the glass and began to drink. The girl left the house with tears in her eyes. Khushi stepped down "Mr. Malhotra if you are done with all can we talk?" she asked

Aarav turned and a smile appears on his face as for the first time his daughter came to talk to him by herself. He placed the glass back to the bar and walked to her but Khushi stepped back "Door se.." she said.

Aarav takes a few steps back and realised she wants something from him "kya chahiye?" he asked

"Kuch nahi chahiye mujhse bas ek baat kehni hai aapko! Meri tution teacher meri dost hai.. Aap unke saath koi badtameezi nahi karegne samjhe aap! Itne saalo baad koi aisa insaan hai jo mujhse samajhta hai meri care karta hai" Khushi confronted him.

"Khushi main toh bas.."

"Suna na aapne maine kya kaha.. Aap unhe pareshan nahi karoge" she warned him and left without he could say anything.

Aarav gets angry, he picked up the whiskey bottle and gulped it down in one go. He walks upstairs to his room and lays down on the bed.

The next day, Khushi gets ready for the school. She steps down and settles on the dining table. Aarav comes after some time and eats breakfast.

Khushi stared at him "kal shayad aap bahut nashe mein they isliye phirse aapko yaad dila dun" she said in a firm tone

He pushed away the food plate and left for the office which was enough for Khushi to understand he remembers what she told him yesterday. He sits inside the car and heads to the office. Khushi also goes to her school in another car.

St. Xavier School

Khushi attends the classes, the teacher places a surprise test. The teacher gives the paper to Khushi and smiled "This will be counted for your pre-boards"

Khushi glared at her "You can't do this to me" she said

"Principal's order" she spoke.

"I hate you Mr. Malhotra.. Ye log aapki wajah se mujhe tang kar rahe hai.." she thought. Khushi wrote the answers and finished it first. She got up and submitted it. She left the classroom without even listening to the lecturer showing her attitude.

The teacher checked and she was amazed at the answers. She collected all the papers and went to the principal's cabin. She informed her that Khushi had done quite well.

"Fail her," she said

"Mam hum aisa nahi kar sakte hai" teacher said as the principal is taking personal revenge on Khushi.

The principal glared at her and the teacher left. She marked the papers but didn't fail Khushi as she can't play with the future of a kid.

Khushi returned home, she went straight to her room placed her bag on the chair, and freshened up. She had been waiting for Manvi to come over. She remembered something, she picked up her Ipad and placed an order.

About after two hours, Manvi enters the hall. She went straight to the room and smiled "Good evening Khushi.."

"Good evening dost" she replied

Manvi looked at the chair, the back of it will hurt her wound. "Em.. kya main bed pe baith sakti hun?" she asked

"Haan aap baith jayie" Khushi said and Manvi sits on the bed.

"Tumhara zukham thik ho gaya?" she asked

"Jee.. aapka wo kadvaa kada kaam kar gaya" Khushi replied with a smile.

Manvi asked her to take out her notebook and she began to teach her. Khushi noticed the redness on her right wrist. It appears like someone had held it too tight. Manvi saw her looking at her, she covered it with her dupatta "samajh aaya tumhe?" she asked

"Haa.." she nodded.

Maria knocked the door "Khushi baby.. Aapne jo mangaya tha wo aa gaya hai" she informed

Khushi's face lights up hearing that. She held Manvi's hand and pulled her out of the room. Manvi said "Are kaha leke jaa rahi ho?"

"Aap aayie toh" she spoke.

She brought her outside near the lawn. Manvi saw a brand new scooty, the delivery man gave the key to Khushi and left.

Khushi handed it to her "yeh aapke liye"

Manvi was shocked at this "Khushi ye??"

"Meri wajah se aapki scooty toot gayi thi na.. Aur aap aise auto mein aati jaati hai. Aapne kitni help ki hai meri toh maine socha aapko ye de dun" she said

Manvi returns the key to her "No Khushi.. Main ye tumse nahi le sakti hun! Tumhare paas kaha se aaye iske paise haan?"she asked

"Main aapko car bhi gift kar sakti thi but thought aapko aapki scooty hi pyaari hogi" Khushi said with a smile.

Manvi sighed in disappointment, she realized she is the daughter of business tycoon Aarav Malhotra a millionaire. He must have provided her debit cards and allowed her to spend it the way she wants.

"Khushi tumne apne papa se permission li?" she asked

"Mujhe unse permission lene ki zaroorat nahi hai! Aap ye rakhiye" she placed the key on her palm.

Manvi slapped her forehead "main bhi kisse baat kar rahi hun hai toh apne baap ki beti hi" she murmured.

Khushi glared at her "Aap yahi aajse use karengi warna main ise aag laga dungi" she said adamantly

Manvi gave her a look "What??"

"Jee haan.. Main kar sakti hun Mr. Malhotra ache se jante hai ye baat" she said

"Acha thik hai.. Lekin har mahine meri tuition fees mein se tumhare father meri salary cut karenge" Manvi spoke as she can't take such expensive gift from her.

"Fine.." she agreed. Manvi smiles and caressed her head "Thank you"

Manvi sits on it, she looked at Khushi "Chalaogi?" she asked

"Mujhe nahi aati" she refused

"Main seekhati hun.. Chalo aao baitho" Manvi said

Khushi sits on it and Manvi sits behind her. Manvi teaches her the basics and Khushi slowly drives it. She misses the balance but Manvi handles it. Aarav returns home, he gets off the car and sees both of them. A wide smile appears on his face seeing his daughter laughing and enjoying herself with Manvi. The missing pain in both their life had brought them closer to each other. Khushi missed her mother and Manvi's pain of nothing having a child of her own. Their closeness affected him a lot. His eyes turns moist but he didn't let the tear escape down his eyes. Manvi saw him staring, he walks inside the house without saying anything.
