Manvi's POV

It has been a week but Ahana was avoiding me. I tried my best to convince her but she wasn't ready to listen to me. It was getting difficult for me as I couldn't bear her anger towards me for long. I glanced at the clock and it was 9 am, I missed those days when she used to wake me up and like always I take my own time to get up.

I moved out and searched for her but couldn't find her around. It seems she had already left for school. None was talking to me properly, this was breaking me because the person who loved me the most is also against me.

Maybe, I should just end my life. I moved upstairs and sat down on the terrace admiring the sky. The day passed in a blur, I heard Ahana's sound.

I glanced downstairs, and Mishti gave her water to drink. I descended the stairs and missed my balance to which I ended up falling. "Aahh.." I screamed.

I landed on the floor and Ahana grabbed me before I could hurt myself further. She instantly made me sit on the couch and scolded "can't you walk properly on stairs?"

She desperately searched for the first aid kit, she found it and cleaned the wound on my forehead which had started to bleed as I had hit my head hard.

"How many times I have to tell you not to run on stairs but you never listen to me" she scolded me forgetting that she is upset with me. I smiled lightly with teary eyes as after months I had heard her scolding me because of my carelessness.

She paused in the middle and sat up straight. I held her wrist tightly and then hugged her by the waist. "Mumma please.. Scold me, slap me, do whatever you want but aise muh pherke mat jao.. I will die without you" I pleaded with her.

She turned and asked "why should I listen to you? That day I was begging that mannu I will die without you.. Did you listen to me?"

Tears escaped down my eyes and spread all over my cheeks. I lowered my head in guilt, she confronted me further "I saved you! Instead of coming back with me, you went to the orphanage? Is this the way to thank someone!"

"No.. I am sorry mumma but I had no courage to face you.. I don't deserve the love you gave me.. So.. I" I paused when she slapped my face.

She kept on slapping me hard and I didn't protest. I smiled and she shouted, "Stop smiling!"

"How can you forget everything mannu! My sacrifices, for you I fought with my own people and in return, you gave me pain" she said pushing me hard.

I grabbed her hand and said "I am sorry mumma! The college incidents broke me and even Arijit manipulated me.. I couldn't decide what is right for me you know I am jhalli (stupid)"

"Yes I know it, you didn't even bother to share with me.. How many times have I asked what is bothering you but you just gave me a rude reply!" she shouted at me.

"Sorry mumma! I know I have committed lots of mistakes, after I went away from you I have lived in hell.. You were right that the world is cruel for me.. I need you always.. Please I am lonely.. If you will also hate me then where will I go?" I asked in a broken tone. 

"I don't know! You hate all of us right! So just go wherever you want! Because that world is your life.. We are nothing" she said, crossing her arms around the chest.

"No.. I was raised here, this is my native home and I want to die here" I said with teary eyes looking at her with hope.

"Manvi please! Again someone will come and you will again hurt us and I have no courage left to fight with my own people because of you" Ahana said stubbornly.

"Mumma.. Please, I am sorry.. That won't happen again! I can't live without you.. I was in guilt because of me you had to face so much trouble so I thought maybe if I stay away from you everything will be fine" I said in deep guilt.

"You were just a few days old when I brought you here.. For you, I fought with GuruMaa, my friends. Tolerate so much and you left me alone! How can you do that?" She confronted me.

I opened my mouth to say something but she paused me..

"I am not done yet! Do not interrupt, duffer idiot.. Don't you know my real happiness is you!" she said.

I smiled at her lightly, she further exclaimed "you hurt me! But hurt yourself too! Don't have any brains.. If you had then you wouldn't have gone away from me"

I ran to her and hugged her tightly. I began to cry out, there was a warmth in the hug which I was craving for a long. "I love you mumma! More than my own life sorry, please.. Mannu needs you.. You are my identity"

I dropped down on the floor, losing my consciousness. 

Ahana's POV

She was broken, I sighed and this melted my heart. After all, she is still an eighteen years old teenager. She was manipulated and reacted to the situation. She didn't want to face any more trouble, so went to the orphanage. I sighed, today I am alive because she is the one who brought me back to life.

I was about to hug her back when her grip loosened around me and she ended up dropping on the floor unconscious. I was shocked by it, I kneeled down and took her head on my lap "mannu wake up"

Tears escaped down my eyes. It's all my fault, my anger overpowered the motherly love I had for her. I sighed, Sneha helped me to pick her up and made her lay on the couch.

"Call the doctor," I shouted.

"Ahana, no doctor will enter our premises, we will take her to a nearby hospital" Nisha suggested.

I agreed, and we took her to the hospital. The doctor checked her up, I eyed the doctor curiously and she informed me "it's a mental breakdown!" 

I sighed deeply, in my anger I forgot past few months she was suffering from mental trauma and then my behaviour must have pressured her brain. Oh god, what have I done? I didn't realise her mental state. 

 GuruMaa kept her hand on my shoulder. I turned and looked at her with teary eyes.

"ahana.. I was silent but now it's time she has been trying her best to convince all of us specially you.." she exclaimed.

"Ahana, you both can't live without each other.. Start fresh. I am sure our mannu had learned a lesson and won't repeat her mistake again" she said as everyone witnessed our confrontation.

"Yes Ahana, mannu need your guidance. She loves truly, please forgive her" Sneha also insists.

I sighed and took a deep breath. I held her hand tightly and placed a soft kiss over it. She opened her eyes and glanced at me with a light smile "why are you crying? I won't die soon.. I am born to annoy you"

I smiled at her words "you scared me.." I said.

She sat up straight and hugged me immediately "mumma please don't break our beautiful relation... "

"I never broke Manvi and no one can break it beauce we are connected by heart! Don't I have the right to be angry with you for breaking my heart?" I questioned her while smearing her head

"Yes you do! I am sorry for my impulsive behaviour" she apologized.

"Promise me you won't do this again" I asked for assurance.

She looked at me and wiped my tears with the tip of her finger "I won't! You told me leave the house but see I was so adamant that you had to end up accepting me back"

I shook my head. Yes, I can't be angry with her for long. "You have troubled me so much! I won't give you kadhi chawal for a month"

Others laughed hearing this, I smiled and said "it's okay Nisha Maasi will cook for me"

Manvi glanced at Nisha, she agreed "surely!"

We attached our foreheads to each other and looked at each other with love. My life, my world and especially my motherhood was back to me.
