Malhotra Mansion

Khushi was sitting on the couch, Jenny the cook came to her and forwarded her the glass of milk. She held it in her hand but found it cold. She threw away the glass in anger "pata nahi hai kya aapko mujhe garam dudh pasand hai.."

Jenny said "main dusra laata hun.. Aap uthna mat jabtak ye kaanch saaf nahi hota'

"Koi zaroorat nahi hai mujhe nahi peena hai" she said rudely.

Manvi had just entered the house, she was shocked at her rude behavior. Jenny feared of losing her job "baby aisa mat kahiye dudh pee lijiye please warna Sir mujhe job se nikal denge"

"Aap please har baar yahi baat mat kiya karo mere saamne! Mujhe nahi peena hai" she gets annoyed and walked to her room.

Jenny gets tears in her eyes, she moves to Sharda and folds her hand "kaki aap kahiye na Khushi baby ko dudh peele warna sir ko pata chala toh meri job jayegi..."

"Tum janti ho Jenny Khushi ka gussa uske papa ki tarah hi hai.. Tum pareshan mat ho Aarav ko kya bolna hai main bol dungi.." Sharda assured her not to get worried.

Jenny shook her head positively.

Manvi sighed "ye ameer log apne bacho ko sar pe chadake rakhte hai! Tameez toh sikhana bhool hi gaye hai.. Bado se kaise baat ki jaati hai pata hi nahi hai iss ladki ko" she murmured.

Sharda heard her words and said "bin maa ki bachi hai.. Sahi galat sikhane waala tha hi nahi uske paas"

Manvi gets emotional hearing her. She commences towards her room and finds her sitting on the bed and scrolling her phone.

"Padhai likhai bhi karti ho ya sirf apne baap ka paisa udati ho?" She asked

Khushi got up and glanced at her "baap toh bolna hi mat aap unhe mera.. Aur jitna main padh sakti hun utna padhti hun.."

Manvi crossed her arms across her chest "Khushi.. Main tumhare baap ki naukar nahi hun jo tumhara ye attitude bardasht karungi samjhi tum.. Mere saath padhna hai toh sabse pehle tum tameez se mujhse baat karogi' she said in soft tone but with a tinch of warning for her in it.

Khushi made a face "Aap.."

"Paas hona hai ya rusticate hona hai school se?" she asked raising her eyebrow.

"Paas" Khushi replied softly

"Good.. toh books nikalo apni" Manvi said grabbing the chair near the study table. Khushi sat down on hers and took out the books.

Manvi asked "Toh batao kis subject mein tum sabse zyada week ho?"

Khushi replied "mujhe nahi pata.."

Manvi sighed, she said "Apna report card do mujhe"

Khushi takes it out and forwards it to her. Manvi checks it and noted down a few things. She glanced at the signature of her father.

"Pehle semester mei aur dusre semester mein tumhare papa ke signature alag kyun hai?" She asked

Khushi eyed at the card and said "3-4 peg maarke karenge toh yahi hoga"

Manvi thought she is lying "Khushi.. Jhooth mat bolo ye kisi aurne kiye hai na sign?" she asked

"Main sach kah rahi hun.." She said

"Wo main tumhare papa se hi puch lungi.." Manvi replied

Khushi made a face and murmured "unhe khudka toh pata hota nahi hai ye bada yaad hoga"

Manvi glared at her and Khushi continues with her studies. Jenny enters the room and keeps tea for her, Manvi thanked her.

After some time she returns to collect the cup and finds it cold "mam chai thandi ho gayi main dusri le aati hun" Jenny said

"Are nahi Jenny ji.. Aap isko garam kar dijiye khane peene ka apmaan karna mujhe bilkul pasand nahi hai" Manvi said in a bit loud tone and Khushi glanced at her for a moment. She got a hint that this taunt was meant to be for her as she had thrown the milk glass earlier

Jenny nodded and leaves the room. Manvi smiles at her "ho gaya sum solve?" she asked

Khushi gave her the notebook and Manvi gets engrossed in checking it. She sighed deeply "ye kya hai ye Khushi? Tumhare papa ne bilkul bhi dhyan nahi diya hai tumpar"

"Stop it.. Aap baar baar Mr. Malhotra ka naam lena band karo" Khushi said angrily

Manvi was surprised to hear that "Tum apne papa ka naam leti ho?"

"Kyuki main unhe papa nahi maanti hun.. Aap padhai baaki meri life mein interfere mat kijiye" She spoke in arrogant tone

Manvi thought "isse pehle iske baap ki class leni padegi bilkul tameez nahi sikhayi hai apni beti ko"

She heard the loud male voice, the sound was familiar to her. Khushi uttered "ab ho gayi meri padhai"

Manvi gave her a bewildered look, she heard the sounds getting louder. "Ouch Aarav! Have patience.."

"No I don't!" he refused. Khushi's room was just next door so the sounds were clear and loud.

She called one of the servants and said "aap apne Sir ko bolengi apni volume kum rakhe.."

She denied "sorry mam Sir ko hum disturb nahi karenge warna job jayegi hamari"

"Fayda nahi hai mam.. Mr Malhotra ne iss ghar mein sabko darake rakha hai" Khushi replied

Manvi sighed, she got up and Khushi said "mam aap mat jayie Mr. Malhotra gussa karenge aur aapko daant laga denge"

"It's okay main handle kar lungi tum apni padhai continue karo" Manvi spoke softly.

Khushi agreed while Manvi walked towards Aarav's room. Khushi thought "ab aayega maza.. Mr. Malhotra ka mood kharab hoga" she can't miss seeing getting him in trouble.

Manvi stands in front of Aarav's room and tried to recall his name "haan.. Aarav naam hai.." she knocked "Aaravji..."

"Oh God! Tumhare ghar ke naukaur kyun itna disturb karte hai?" Manvi heard the annoyed sound of the lady from inside.

"Shut up and leave" Aarav shouted from the room.

Manvi made a face, she knocked again and Aarav finally opens the door. He was just wearing his jeans and was shirtless. Manvi instantly covered up her face with her palm and shut her eyes.

Aarav raised his eyebrow "wow.. Itni shareef ladki Aarav Malhotra ke ghar pe kya kar rahi hai?" he asked

Manvi was familiarized with his voice, she wondered if he is the same person who had troubled her that day.

"Aap.. apna ya karyakaram kahi aur karenge.. Khushi ko disturb ho raha hai" she replied

"Excuse me? Mere ghar mein mujhe hukum dene waali tum ho kaun?" Aarav asked

Just then the girl comes and places her hands on her shoulder "just send her off.. Mood kharab mat karo"

Aarav rolled his eyes towards her "do not interrupt when I am speaking" he glared at her.

Manvi sighed and said lowering her hands "Dekhiye aap ye jo kar rahe hai please kisi aur room mein jayie Khushi ko main padha nahi paa rahi hun inn awazon ki wajah se"

Aarav again looked at her and gets shocked "Tum!! Mere ghar mein.."

Manvi opened her eyes and finally sees him, her jaw dropped down in the state of shock "aap"

Khushi was standing at the door of her room and witnessing the scene. She assumed their first meeting had already taken place and that was definitely not a great one.

"What the hell are you doing in my house?" Aarav screamed at her.

Manvi said "aapne hi mujhe phone karke bulaya tha apni beti ko padhana ke liye"

The girl gets shocked "What?? He has a daughter?"

Aarav rolled his eyes at her and kicks her out of the room "bahar niklo tum mana karne ke baad bhi beech mein bol rahi ho.."

"Aarav.. But" she said and Aarav shot a deadly glare at her

"I am sure you don't want me to cancel the deal.." He threatened her.

"Atleast pass my sandals" she said

"No.. just get out" Aarav groaned.

The girl left the place. Manvi stared at him "ab samajh aaya kyun aapki beti itni badtameez hai.. Apne baap pe gayi hai" she said

Aarav moved closer to her and she stepped back till her body touched the wall. "Meri beti ke baare mein kuch nahi bolna warna abhi nikal dunga" he warned her

"Aapki beti ki harkatein aisi hai.. Ki koi use padha nahi sakta hai.. Main phir bhi dusre din aa gayi" Manvi said in soft tone.

Aarav stared at her silently "haan toh? Fees le rahi ho tum uske liye.." he retorted.

"Aur agar mujhe pata hota aap uske father hai toh main yahan aati nahi padhane" Manvi replied

Aarav smiled, she just looked away as he was shirtless. He noticed her awkwardness and whispered in her ears "I am hot right?? Wanna try?" he asked

Manvi rolled her eyes at him "aapko sharam nahi hai? Aapki beti ki teacher hun main"

"Mam door rahiye inse.. Inhe koi farak nahi padta aap meri teacher hai ya kya hai inhe bas apni besharmi se matlab hai" Khushi taunted.

Aarav went to the room and came out in a minute wearing his shirt. He walked to Khushi "mujhe pata nahi tha tumhari tution teacher aayi hui hai warna mai.." he explained and Manvi was surprised the way his tone changed to his daughter.

"Aapko pata hai kya Mr. Malhotra? I am sorry meri wajah se aapka so called romance barbaad ho gaya.." she argued with him

"Khushi baat toh sunlo" he said but Khushi didn't want to hear anything. She went to her room and shut the door in his face. He sighed in disappointment while Manvi was trying to understand them.
