Vineet opened his eyes, he looked at Manvi who was sleeping cozily by keeping her head on his shoulder. He then turned to his left and was surprised to see Ruhana sleeping. He said "yeh bhi soh gayi"

Ruhana opened her eyes and looked up at him "Good morning" she said.

Vineet asked "Roo tum yahan aise kyun soh gayi?"

Ruhana smiled and said "jab tum dono aise soh sakte ho toh main kyun nahi?"

"Are par hamari toh aankh lag gayi thi tumne uthaya kyun nahi?" he asked.

"Kyuki tum dono ko aise sota dekh uthane ka mann nhi kiya kitne cute lag rahe they dono" she said with a smile on her face.

"Acha toh tum bhi soh gayi yahan mera kandha dard kar raha hai kitna bhari hai tumhara sar" he said making face and jerking his left shoulder a bit.

Ruhana hits his arm lightly "Vineet tum bhi na"

Vineet smiled, Manvi moved a bit she spoke "professor aaj koi aur topic please"

Vineet and Ruhana looked at her, Vineet said "lo ab toh sapne mein bhi biology aur professor aane lage hai madam ke"

"Achi baat hai" she said and got up "ab isko room mein sulado waise bhi aaj sunday hai der tak soyengi madam" she moved into the room.

Vineet lightly pats Manvi's cheek "Manvi utho.."

She half opened her eyes, Vineet said "chalo room mein jaake soh jao"

She stood up but was in half a sleep, Vineet held her hand and took her into the room. He made her lay on bed, covered her with blanket and left the room.

After 3 hours, Manvi opened her eyes. She picked up her phone and looked at time it was 11 am. She was shocked "haww 11 bajh gaye"

She quickly hopped off the bed and moved to bathroom. She applied paste on the toothbrush and smiled to herself thinking about yesterday while brushing. She thought "aaj kaise jau professor ke ghar? Kuch toh bahana banana padega"

She then took bath and came out, she pretended to talk on phone with Shruti "kya? Kal biology ka mid-term hai aur tum mujhe ab bata rahi ho! Kya kya aane wala hai?" she was delibatory shouted and talking in loud tone so Vineet and Ruhana could hear.

"Offo Shruti aaj Sunday hai professor kaise mujhe samjha denge sab? Acha thik hai" and ended the call.

Vineet came out of the bedroom and asked "subah subah kyun chilla rahi ho Manvi? Kya hua hai?"

Manvi made sad face and said "papa kal midterm hai biology ka aur jo aane wale hai topics wo abhi tak professor ne nhi samjhaye hai"

"Hmm problem toh hai lekin aaj Sunday hai wo tutions bhi nhi dega tumhe" he said.

"Papa wo toh bahut ache hai mana nahi karenge lekin aaj sunday hai na aap main aur mumma bahar jaate hai" she said.

"Toh kya hua? Padhai bhi toh zaroori hai na ek kaam karo tum professor ke ghar chali jao main aur Ruhana le aayenge tumhare liye jo tumhe chahiye" he said with a smile.

A smile came on her face but she controlled and said "nahi papa mujhe bhi aana hai aap dono ke saath"

Ruhana came out and spoke up "haan fir kal mid term mein fail ho jaana.. Chup chap jaao professor ke ghar"

Manvi nodded sadly and said "okay"

"Acha suno jab tum aa jaogi toh hum bahar khana khane chalenge" Ruhana said.

Manvi smiled and hugged her "yaay!! Thanks mumma love you" she quickly packed her books. She combed her hairs, tied them and came out.

Vineet said "chalo tumhe chodke main aur Ruhana bhi nikal jaate hai lekin tumhara lunch?"

"Main kha lungi kuch wahi neeche restaurant hai" she said assuring them.

Trio left the house, inside the car. Ruhana asked "kab khatam hoga tumhara tutions?"

Manvi replied "wo depend karta hai main kitni der mein samjh paati hun"

"Acha toh 20 minute pehle bata dena main lene aa jaunga" Vineet said while looking at her threw the rear mirror.

Manvi agreed "okay papa aur suno aap na mere liye teddy laana mat bhulna aur 2 tops 3 shorts, 3 dresses earrings, bangles, rings" she was saying the list.

Ruhana said "bas kar mannu.. Itna sab nahi laani wali hun main"

Manvi smirked and said "aap nahi toh papa laayenge? Kyun papa?"

Vineet nodded, Ruhana glared at him "jee nahi itna sab nahi aayega limit mein aayega samjhe"

Manvi pouts, Vineet stopped the car in front of the apartment. Manvi got down and said "mumma aap na kabhi nhi sunti meri bye" and left.

"Kya Roo.. choti si toh list thi" Vineet said.

"Zyada uski tarafdari mat karo chalo ab warna ye list ka saaman bhi nhi lungi main uske liye" she replied.

Vineet sighed "tum bhi na roo bahut strict hoti jaa rahi ho" he said while driving.

"Ghar mein kisiko toh hona padega na strict!" Ruhana said. 

  "Haan haan thik hai.." Vineet replied 

Aarav's home

Manvi entered inside and the maid was in the kitchen. Manvi asked "Aap yahan kya kar rahi hai?"

The maid turned to her and said "wo saab ke liye khana paka rahi thi dupahar ka"

"Nahi uski zaroorat nahi hai aap jayie main kar lungi" Manvi said.

"Lekin tum kaun?" she asked.

Just then Aarav came out of the room and said "yeh meri student hai shanta kaki"

"Thik hai saab main chalti hun" she left from there. Aarav sat on the couch, he asked "Manvi tum aaj yahan kaise?"

Manvi smiled and said "professor wo haan aapne kaha tha na mera interest zaroor jagega biology mein aur wo ho gaya toh isliye aaj lesson lene aa gayi" she made up the excuse but actual reason was she wanted to meet him.

He smiled a bit "yeh toh achi baat hai.. Lekin tumne kaki ko khana kyun nhi banane diya?" he asked.

"Kyun? Main banaungi toh aap khayenge nhi?" she asked him back. 

"Baat wo nahi hai tum yahan padhne aati ho aur yeh sab.." he said.

"Are professor acha hai na main kuch aur bhi seekh jaungi chalyie batayie aaj kya sikhane wale hai aap mujhe" she asked while looking rasing her eyebrow.

"Tum manogi nhi na" he said.

Manvi shook her head "nahi"

"Okay chalo.."

He again guided her in cooking, Aarav then tasted the food. "Hmm not bad Manvi kalse aur better bana hai" he said.

Manvi smiled "thank you professor"

"Baitho khao tum bhi" he offered her.

She nodded, she sat on the chair opposite him and starts eating. She looked at him for a while, he eyed her she again starts eating the food.

He was about to get up, Manvi said "laayie professor main clean kar dungi aap zyada walk mat kijiye plaster abhi uthra nhi hai aapka"

He smiled, she took both the plates and cleaned them. The water dropped on the floor, she looked at Aarav and said "sorry professor"

He nodded "koi nahi.. Ab yeh sab chodo jis kaam ke liye aayi ho wo karo"

She whispered "wahi toh kar rahi hun aapko dekh rahi hun"

He asked her "kuch kaha tumne?"

She passed a smile "no.."

They settled on the couch, Aarav said "Chalo ab biology book nikalo"

She took out the book and passed him. He asked "kal jo tumhe kaam diya tha wo kiya?"

"Jee kiya na" she hands him the notebook. He began to check, she was staring at him and seemed to be lost.

She thought "mannu control.. Zyada ghuregi toh bhaaga denge tujhe ghar se"

He said "toh chalo aaj tumhara ek quiz test lete hai"

Manvi was shocked "kya??"

"Haan ab tak jo tumhe sikhaya usme se hi questions puchunga you have to answer" he said while closing the book.

"Okay professor agar maine sab sahi jawab diye toh mujhe kya milega?" she asked. 

"Kya aaj hum sirf baatein kar sakte hai?" she asked while closing her eyes.

He eyed her and smiled "thik hai lekin kal padhai"

She opened her eyes and jumped "Woohu..aapne shaadi kyun nhi ki?" she asked the question.

"Are firse wahi sawal.." he said.

"Offo batayie na.. Please" she requested.

He smiled and looked down a bit "bas khud sangharsh karte karte inn sabka mauka time hi nahi mia aur na koi achi ladki"

She asked "kis type ki ladki chahiye aapko?"

"Tum kyun jaanna chahti ho?" he asked.

"Professor batayie na mujhse kya chupana aapki ab special student hun main" she said smilingly.

"Zyada sawal jawab na kare jo.." he said.

Manvi pouts.. "Offo professor aap bhi na bilkul mere mumma jaise ho nahi sunte ho aap meri" she crossed her arms around her chest.

He smiled at her irritation. "Bahut cute lagti ho tum gusse mein" he said.

She smiled and asked "Acha? Aur kya pasand hai aapko mere baare mein"

"Tum sawal jawab bahut karti ho, ziddi ho, beech beech mein kahi kho jaati ho apni duniya mein" he said.

"Professor yeh kya kah rahe ho aap..iska matlab aapko mujhmein kuch acha nhi lagta?" she asked bewildered.

"Nahi tum bahut sweet aur innocent ho" he said. A smile came on her face hearing this. 

He said "Acha ab bahut hua chalo thoda bio bhi karlo"

Manvi nodded, he started explaining, she was only looking at his eyes. She thought "mannu tu paagal ho gayi hai dhyan de padhai pe lekin ye hot cute professor hi sab attention leke jaa raha hai.."
