Aarav smiled and said "general knowledge questions Sir main chalta hun namaste" and left from there.

Manvi had a sigh of relief on her face.

Vineet said "mannu waise yeh professor hai cute lagta hai isliye tumne inhe nahi bhagaya"

Manvi smiled and said "are papa chodo na maine socha apne chakkar mein kyun baki students ko loss karun"

Ruhana glared at her and said 'acha! Chal kuch khale ab"

Manvi denies "nahi jab kaha tab toh diya nahi aapne ab mannu ko kuch nhi khana" she sits on the couch and turns on the television.

Ruhana got the snacks and kept in front of her "lo khao"

Manvi looked at Vineet and said "Papa aapki biwi ne shayad suna nahi maine kaha mujhe nhi khana ab"

Vineet looked at Ruhana, who said "Vineet kehdo apni beti se yeh nhi khaya toh khana bhi nhi milega fir"

Vineet looked at Manvi and was about to say but Manvi said "koi nahi mannu dinner kare bina rah sakti hai"

"Offo kya tum dono indirectly baat kar rahe ho main koi messenger hun kya?" he asked in irritation.

Ruhana glanced at him and said "toh kaho isye khale uss time padai mein disturb ho jaati isliye nahi diya waise bhi muskil se madam biology karne baithti hai"

Vineet looked at Manvi and said "mannu ab zid mat karo kha lo"

Manvi sighed and finally ate. Vineet shook his head "tum dono meri parade kara deti ho apne jhagde mein" he said.

Ruhana smiled at this comment of his. Later after the dinner, Ruhana and Vineet were in bedroom.

Manvi knocked the door "Agar sab clear hai toh kya main andar aa sakti hun?" she said teasingly.

Ruhana looked at her and said "aaja"

Manvi moved in, she hopped on bed in between them,

Vineet asked "aaj yahan kaise?"

"Papa aap story sunao na bahut time ho gaya hai suni nahi maine koi bedtime story" Manvi said while lying down.

Ruhana said strictly "Vineet koi bedtime story nahi"

Vineet said "kyun na sunau? Mannu suno"

Ruhana held Manvi's hand and said "manvi main sunati hoon"

Manvi denies and said stubbornly "papa sunayenge mumma aapki wali boring hoti hai aur mannu ko bore hoke nhi sona"

Ruhana sighed "yeh bhi bigdi hai baap bhi aisa hi hai sunle bedtime story"

She lay down and turned off the lights. Vineet asked "tumhe nhi sunni?"

"Jee nahi mujhe koi interest nahi hai tumhari bedtime story mein" Ruhana said while turning to other side and closing her eyes.

Manvi looked at Vineet and said "papa aap sunao na"

"Hmm thik hai aaj main tumhe laila majnu ki kahani sunata hun" Vineet said.

And he starts narrating the story, Ruhana mumured "sab fairy tales sunate hai aur ye mere unique husband apni unique beti ko love stories sunate hai bedtime pe"

Manvi asked "papa toh kya laila ke gharwalo ne majnu ko maara?"

"Haan bahut patharo se" Vineet said.

"Fir kya hua?" Manvi asked. He then narrates further. A smile came on Manvi's face hearing this.

Soon she fall a sleep in between, Vineet looked at her and kissed her forehead. Ruhana opened her eyes, Vineet asked "Tum soyi nahi thi?"

"Nahi tum dono ki bedtime story ka moment enjoy kar rahi thi" Ruhana while smiling.

Vineet smiled, they then slept.

The next morning, Ruhana got up. She found Manvi's hand on her waist. She slowly moved it and got down. She moved to bathroom to fresh up.

She then moved out to pack Manvi's and Vineet's tiffin. She then looked at the time it was 7 am. She came to the room both were sleeping peacefully.

Ruhana said "Vineet Manvi utho"

But none moved, Ruhana opened up the curtains and the sun rays touched their face.

Vineet half opened his eyes "Roo shut the curtain"

"Are utho office nhi jaana kya?" Ruhana said.

Manvi said in sleepy tone "nahi jaana sone do mumma" and both moved to more cozy position.

Ruhana sighed, she hopped on bed and said "dono utho warna main apne tarike se uthaungi"

They did not moved, a wide smile came on Ruhana's face. She started to tickle Manvi, she laughed "Aah mumma nhi uth rhi hun ruk jao"

Manvi got up and glared at her "very unfair mumma kiss toh diya nahi aapne"

She kissed her cheeks, Manvi smiled then eyed at Vineet "papa ki baari ab"

Something came in her mind, Ruhana understood both of them moved their hand towards him and were about to tickle but Vineet was smarter. He tickled both and they giggled "Vineet/Papa nahi"

He got up and tickled them more. Ruhana said "are vineet nahi"

He stopped, Manvi said "papa aapne cheating ki"

"Maine nhi ki koi cheating ab jaake ready ho jao school ke liye late ho jaogi" Vineet said. Manvi nods and hopped off the bed. She moved out as soon as she left, Vineet pulled Ruhana.

"Vineet kya hai?" Ruhana asked at sudden act of his.

"Usko dedi meri kaha hai morning kiss?" he asked winking at her.

Ruhana smiled, she pushed him and got down "nahi deti" left the room. Vineet shook his head.

At the breakfast, Manvi was on phone. Ruhana said "mannu nashta karo bus aati hogi"

"Haan mumma ho gaya mera bye" Manvi said while getting up. She picked up her bag and left.

Vineet was slowly eating breakfast, Ruhana was surprised and asked "Vineet iss speed se khaoge toh office kab jaoge?"

Vineet said "jabtak mujhe morning kiss nhi milegi main nhi jaane wala hun"

Ruhana sighed "bahut ziddi ho tum"

"Thank you very much" Vineet said. Ruhana came to him and kissed his cheek "ab jaldi khao"

Vineet agreed and eats "pehle hi de deti toh mujhe itna slow nhi khana padta" he then left for office.

Ruhana shook her head and said "dono bhi na apni baat manwa hi lete hai" 

St. Xavier School

Manvi was in classroom. Shruti asked her "kaisa chal raha tera tutions professor ke saath?"

"Jaise chalte hai waise hi chal rahe hai Shru" Manvi replied.

"Acha abhi aaye nahi wo class ka time ho gaya hai" Shruti said.

Just then chemistry teaches comes in "hello students today there is no biology class so take out your chemistry books"

Manvi was confused "Aaj class kyun nhi hai"

It has been 2 days since, Aarav had not turned up for classes. A replacement teacher was taking biology classes. She thought "professor 3 din se aaye nahi aur na ghar aaye tuitions dene"

She moved to principal's office and asked "Sir wo Professor Aarav why he is not in school?"

The principal said "he is on leave for few weeks unka leg fracture hua hai isliye"

Manvi was shocked and was upset "nahi agar wo nahi padhayenge toh kaise chalega? Mujhe unko jaake dekhna hoga" 

She called Ruhana and informed her she will be visiting professor home along with Shruti. Ruhana permitted her to go.

Shruti said "mannu wo kaha rehte hai yeh humhe nahi pata hai"

Manvi smiled broadly and said "toh pata kar lenge"

Shruti understood her expressions and denies "nahi main nahi karne wali hun yeh galat hai"

"Are kuch nhi hai please itna nhi karegi mere liye" she made face.

"Okay fine" Shruti agreed. Manvi smiled, after school ended. Shruti came to principal's office and said "Sir uss ladke ne mujhe chedda ek baar nahi do baar"

Principal got angry at this "What? Come with me"

Principal left with Shruti, Manvi beeped into the office. She looked for the teacher's record. She found the file and flipped the pages. She found Aarav's file. She opened it and snapped the picture. She moved out from there with a smile on her face. 

Manvi thought "mannu tujhe hua kya hai? Tune itna bada risk liye professor ka address nikalne ke liye" she sighed and moved.

Shruti came to her and asked "hua kaam?"

Manvi nods in yes "manvi koi kaam kare aur pura na ho aisa nhi ho sakta hai chal ab professor ke ghar"

Shruti replied "nahi tu hi jaa mujhe kisi aur kaam se jaana hai"

Manvi winked at her "Rajeev sang?"

Shruti hits her arm lightly and both left to different directions. Manvi took the auto and reached his apartment. She took the lift to 5th floor. She rang the doorbell of flat no. 501.

The person from inside said "darwaza khula hai aa jayie shanta kaki"

Manvi opened the door and moved in. Aarav was sitting on the couch and he was surprised to see her.

"Sorry mujhe laga shanta kaki hai" Aarav said.

Manvi asked "aapko fracture kaise hua?"

"Bike ka accident" he said then asked her "Tum yahan kaise? Aur tumhe kaise pata chala mere ghar ka address?"

Manvi gulped down her throat and then said "aasan hai professor internet pe sab mil sakta hai"

Aarav nods "haan aur tum toh expert ho hi"

Manvi smiled broadly. Aarav asked her "mere ghar kaise?"

Manvi complained "professor 3 din se aap nhi aaye they school mein aur na mere ghar mujhe tutitons dene main worried thi aapke liye aur upar se wo aapka replacement wale professor bahut gatiya padhate hai"

Aarav smiled and said "lekin jabtak main thik nhi hota tabtak you have to manage"

Manvi said sadly "matlab main fir fail ho jaugi bio mein phir mumma papa gussa karenge koi nahi" she turned to leave.

When Aarav stopped her "ruko Manvi"

A smile came on her face, she turned and gets sad expressions on her face.

"Main tumhe apne ghar mein padha sakta hun lekin apne mumma papa se permission le lo pehle" Aarav said.

Manvi smiled and said "Are unhe main mana lungi aap padhaye toh sahi" 

"Okay aao baitho" Aarav said.

Manvi sits on the couch opposite him and he starts teaching her. Manvi thought "ye professor mein mujhe interest kuch zyada hi aa raha hai.. Itna khush tutions lene mein main pehle kabhi nhi thi specially biology"

To be continued.
