Aarav was explaining to Manvi, Manvi smiled looking at him.

He eyed her and asked "Manvi tum sun rahi ho?"

But she was deeply lost in him, he snipped his fingers in front of her "Manvi"

Manvi came out of her dreamworld "yes professor"

"kaha dhyan hai tumhara? Kabse main samjha raha hun did you understand?" he asked her.

Manvi nodded in yes "jee professor main samajh gayi"

"great! Now right down the points" he said.

Manvi was shocked as she did not heard what he said, she was busy looking at him only. Aarav said "karo Manvi"

Manvi agrees and starts to write the points. She was done and showed it. He looked it was blank, he eyed her in anger and asked "kya hai yeh?"

"sorry professor wo mujhe samajh nhi aaya aapne kya kaha" Manvi said in disappointment.

Aarav sighed and said "ajeeb ladki hai kabhi kehti hai samajh aaya kabhi kehti hai nahi aaya ab dhyan se suno"

Manvi agreed, he explained again and she understood. He asked "Aaya samajh ab?"

Manvi nodded with a smile "jee professor"

Aarav looked at the time and said "kafi time ho gaya hai tumhe ab jaana chahiye ghar"

Manvi nods, she packed her things. Aarav took his phone and ordered "yea nahi bejh do tum khana thank you" and ended the call.

Manvi asked "professor aap daily khana bahar se mangwate hai?"

Aarav denies "nahi Manvi main khud banata hun wo abhi bana nahi sakta toh mangwa raha hun"

Manvi shook her head "oh acha main chalti hun take care" and she moved out from there.

She reached home with thoughts "bechare professor roj bazar ka khana khayenge to aur beemar padh jayenge haan mumma se baat karti hun"

She kept her bag into the room, Vineet was already home. He asked "mannu kaha thi?"

Manvi sits on the couch and said "are papa biology wale professor hai na unka accident hua aur unka leg fracture hua hai itne din se aaye nhi wo school aur yahan ghar bhi tuition dene isliye main unke ghar gayi thi socha wahi unse tuition le lungi"

Vineet checked her forehead and then placed his hand on her neck "tumhari tabiyat toh thik hai na beta?"

Manvi was confused "papa main thik hun jo hua hai professor ko hua hai"

Ruhana came and settled beside Vineet "Vineet apni beti ka fever check karlo ache se biology ka tuition khudse pakka bukhar chada hai isey"

Manvi sighed "offo aap dono bhi na mujhe kuch nhi hua hai I am normal! Bas maine socha ab mannu baki subjects ache se karti hai toh kyun na biology mein bhi interest jaga le apna"

Ruhana and Vineet glanced at her with open mouth. She eyed both and got up "aap dono na huh" and moved into the room.

Ruhana smiled "chalo acha hai beti sudhar rahi hai"

Vineet looked at her and said "haan wo dikh raha hai mujhe wo professor ne wo kar diya jo hum saalo se nahi kar paaye"

Ruhana shook her head "haan ab meri daant toh nahi sunegi biology pe"

After sometime, Ruhana was working in the kitchen. Manvi entered in and helped her out setting the things on the dining table.

Ruhana folds her arms around her chest and asked "kya chahiye beta?"

Manvi smiled "kuch nahi mumma just helping you out"

Ruhana raised her eyebrow "just helping me out?"

Manvi nodded innocently "yes mumma"

"main tujhe aur tere baap ko ache se janti hun jab bhi mujhse koi kaam hota hai tum dono aise hi maska marte ho mujhe" Ruhana said while pulling her ear.

Manvi said "ouch chodo mumma acha batati hun"

Ruhana left her ear and asked "bolo kya chahiye?"

"mumma wo professor 3 din se bahar ka khana kha rahe hai vaise hi beemar hai aap agar unke liye apne haatho se bana hua ghar ka khana de dogi toh sahi rahega" Manvi said.

Ruhana eyed her and asked "tujhe kyun itni fikar ho rahi hai unki?"

"Are mumma dekho wo kabse mujhe tuition de rahe hai aur fees bhi nahi maangte badle mein hum unki thodi si help toh kar hi sakte hai na" Manvi explained.

Vineet came there and said "Roo bilkul sahi kah rahi hai meri samajhdar beti! Tum hamare liye toh banati ho hi uske liye bhi bana dena"

Ruhana smiled "Acha thik hai bana dungi kal le jaana tiffin"

Manvi smiled and side hugged her by wrapping her arms around her neck "thank you mumma love you" she then kissed her cheek.

Ruhana pats her head "chalo ab dinner karo"

They settle on their places and starts eating food.

After the food, Vineet and Manvi settled on couch. They turned on the television and puts the latest movie.

"papa popcorn nhi hai maza kaise aayega movie ka?" Manvi asked.

Vineet looked at Ruhana who was just coming out from kitchen after doing the chorus. He said "Roo zara popcorn dena"

Ruhana looked at him and said "main nahi jaa rahi hun wapas khud jaake lelo"

"Are hamari movie chal rahi hai tum khadi ho na la do please" he said cutely.

Ruhana glared at him and stretched her arms "mujhe bahut neend aayi hai good night" she moved into the room.

Vineet and Manvi sighed "main laati hun papa mumma is aalsi" and got up from couch.

She moved into the kitchen and picked up the popcorn packet. She came out and sat back both enjoyed the movie. After 3 hours, they looked at each other.

Vineet asked "second round?"

Manvi nodded excitedly "yes papa mazedar thi yeh toh iss baar horror movie lagao"

Vineet agrees, he got up and puts the horror movie DVD and settled down. A very scary scene came and they screamed "aahhh"

They held each other hand and then hopped on couch scared. "papa hamari taraf aa raha hai wo" Manvi shouted then the screen gets blank.

Vineet and Manvi had a sigh of relief. "thank god movie khatam hui" they said together.

Just then someone kept hand on both their shoulder. Vineet and Manvi were scared and screamed "aaah.. bhoot"

Then a familiar voice was heard "Vineet Manvi main hun"

They turned and found Ruhana standing there. "roo tumne humhe dara diya" Vineet said.

"tum dono pagal ho gaye ho kya? Itna darr lagta hai toh horror movie kyun dekhte ho?" she asked eyeing both.

"are mumma maza bhi toh aata hai uthna aao aap dekho hamare saath" Manvi said with a smile.

"koi movie nahi chup chap sone chalo dono ke dono office aur school ke liye warna uthoge nahi dono mujhe chilana padega chalo" Ruhana ordered them.

They nodded and moved into the room. Ruhana murmured "defective piece mile hai mujhe" and moved into the room to sleep.

The next morning, Vineet and Manvi got late. They settled on the dinning table for breakfast.

Ruhana said "Aur jaago raat tak! Ab rush karna pad raha hai na"

Manvi drinks the juice, the bus horns. "mumma main chalti hun"

"acha sun ghar aana baad mein professor ke yahan jaana tiffin leke" Ruhana said, Manvi nodded and rushed out.

Vineet said "main bhi chalta hun roo" he moved out. Ruhana smiled.

Aarav's home

Manvi reached his house around 3pm. Aarav smiled seeing her "Aao Manvi"

Manvi forwards him the tiffin, he looked and asked "yeh kya hai?"

"wo aap roj bahar ka khana khate hai aur beemar ho jayenge isliye mumma se kahke aapke liye maine banwaya" Manvi said with a smile.

"iski kya zaroorat thi? Kyun unhe pareshan kar rahi ho?" he questioned her.

"isme pareshan hone wali baat nahi hai hamara toh banta hi ek extra aapke liye bhi ban jaya karega lijiye na please" Manvi requested.

Aarav smiled and took the tiffin "Thank you kehna meri taraf se unhe"

Manvi nodded and said "agar aapne shaadi karli hoti toh mujhe nahi laana padta"

Aarav glanced at her and said "tum firse shuru ho gayi"

Manvi bits her tongue out "sorry.."

"chalo ab book nikalo aur batao aaj kya padhaya school mein?" he asked.

Manvi took out the books and said "are wo koi boring sa topic tha about menstruation cycle for men wo teacher paagal hai men ko kaise menstruation cycle ho sakta hai?"

Aarav smiled at her innocence and said "hota hai Manvi chalo main tumhe explain karta hun"

Manvi nodded and he starts explaining her. Manvi understood and smiled "waah itna easy tha aapne mera confusion door kar diya"

"yeh toh mera kaam hai" Aarav said while looking at the book.

Manvi looked at him and smiled.

She looked at the time it was 5pm "Acha main ab chalti hun aap apna khayal rakhna aur tiffin kha lena" she ordered him.

Aarav nodded "kha lunga thank you again aur tum sambhalke jaana"

Manvi picked up her things and left thinking "mannu tu paagal ho gayi hai aisi bhala koi order deta hai kya professor ko pata nhi kya sochenge wo ab tere baare mein"
