Khanna House

Manvi was sitting on the couch and watching television. Ruhana came and turned it off, Manvi shouted "mumma kya kiya? Itna acha scene chal raha tha"

Ruhana glanced at her "koi tv nhi jaake padai karo"

Manvi pouts "nhi karni pehle movie khatam hone do phir jaungi"

Ruhana scolds her "Mannu zid mat karo bekar ki jaake padai karo"

Manvi was stubborn and shook her head "mannu nhi jayegi pehle movie"

"Pehle padai" Ruhana said.

"Movie!" Manvi argued..

"Padai pehle!" Ruhana gave her warning.

Just then Vineet entered inside and asked "kis baat pe maa beti lad rahi hai?"

Manvi and Ruhana looked at him, Manvi complained "papa dekho na aapki wife mujhe movie nhi dekhne de rahi hai"

Vineet looked at Ruhana and said "Ruhana meri beti ko nhi dekhne de rahi ho movie tum haan?"

Ruhana sighed "Manvi rojana tumhara natak shuru ho jaata hai.. Papa ke aate hi complaint box chalu.. " she said angrily to Manvi who was behind Vineet.

"Are dekhne do na Ruhana padh legi baad mein" Vineet said.

Manvi danced, Ruhana looked at her "kya pad legi? Dekho kaise naach rhi hai"

Vineet looked behind and Manvi was standing with sad face "meri movie.." she uttered.

Ruhana was left with open mouth "nautanki.. Abhi to naach rahi thi papa ke dekhte hi sad ho gayi"

Vineet looked at Ruhana and said "Ruhana please.. Dekhne do usko baad mein padh legi"

Ruhana sighed and said in anger "Thik hai karo jo karna hai meri kaha sunni hai na tumhe na tumhari beti ko" she moved to the kitchen.

Vineet turned to Manvi and said "dekho apni movie"

Manvi smiled and turned on the television. Vineet moved to the kitchen, he tried to help out Ruhana but she pushed him "don't"

"are kyun naraz ho rahi ho mujhse?" he asked her.

Ruhana turned to him and said "kyuki tum usko bigadne mein lage ho.."

"Ruhana mujhe pata hai wo mere peeche khade hoke danxe kar rahi thi" he said with a smile.

Ruhana looked at him shockingly "achaa.. tab bhi kuch nhi kaha tumne usko"

"are maza aata hai na.. wo complaint karti hai main tumse argue karta hoon yahi to apna life hai.." Vineet said with a smile on his face.

Ruhana looked at him and sighed "tum bhi na.. dono milke mujhe pareshan karte ho"

Vineet said "ab tumhe nhi karenge to kya padosi ko karenge?"

Ruhana smiled "acha acha thik hai.. jaake change karlo aur agar tumhari laadli movie ke baad padne nhi gayi to tumhari kher nhi" she warned him.

Vineet nodded and moved out. After finishing off the work, Ruhana moved and saw Vineet and Manvi both engaged in television.

"papa dekhna ab ye kaise usko bachata hai.. maza aa raha hai na" Manvi said excited.

"Are bahut maza aa raha hai.. concentration break mat karo" Vineet said with a smile.

Ruhana was left with open mouth "ye bhi dekhne baith gaya wo bhi dusri film"

Ruhana pulled out the plug of the television, Vineet and Manvi got up they said "Mumma/Ruhana kya kiya ye? Climax chal raha tha"

Ruhana glared at them "bas bahut hua tv... tum jaake room mein study karo aur tum apne kamre mein jaake kaam karo" she scolded both.

They hang their head down, Ruhana looked at them "go to the room both of you"

They moved to their respective room, Manvi took out the books and starts studying and Vineet worked.

Ruhana smiled to herself "waah.. Ruhana kya baat hai baap beti ek daant se maan gaye.."

Later at the dining table, Manvi and Vineet arrived and sat for dinner.

Vineet asked Manvi "beta biology teacher sahi salamat hai na?"

Manvi smiled broadly "oh yea papa abhi tak toh hai future ka pata nhi"

Ruhana looked at her "acha zyada mat pareshan kar usko apna kaam karne de aur tum apna kaam karo padai ka"

Manvi smiled "ache se karne dungi.. aur main bhi karungi"

St. Xavier's School

The next day, Shruti and Manvi were sitting on the bench. Shruti looked at the time and said "Mannu chal biology class ka time ho gaya hai"

"tu jaa main nhi aane wali it is so boring kuch samajh to aana nhi hai waise" Manvi said making face.

"Are dekh pichle 2 mahine se biology ki attendance bahut kharab hai ab bhi hui na to problem hogi" Shruti exclaimed.

"Tujhe jaana hai toh jaa main nhi jaane wali" Manvi said and moved from there. Shruti sighed and moved to classroom.

Manvi was at the playground, she was playing with basketball. Aarav passed by and saw her, he sighed and moved to the classroom.

Manvi looked at the time in her phone and smiled "ab tak ko class khatam ho gayi hogi" she moved to the classroom.

Aarav came out and looked at her, Manvi smiled "good afternoon sir"

Aarav asked her "why were you not in class?"

"Sir sar dard tha.. Abhi thik hai" and moved in.

School ended and Manvi moved to home, She was happy as she skipped biology class.

As soon as she entered in, Ruhana asked her "bunk maara biology class ka?"

Manvi looked at her shockingly "Aapko kaise pata chala?"

"Maa hoon teri sab pata hota hai mujhe" Ruhana said.

"Maine akele ne thodi maara kaafi logo ne maara.. Aur ab nhi maarungi to kab maarungi? Aapne bhi to kabhi maara hoga na?" Manvi asked her.

Ruhana looked at her and sighed "kuch nhi ho sakta hai iss ghar mein na to tera na tere papa ka.."

Manvi giggled and moved to room.

Later in evening Vineet came home, Manvi jumped seeing and said "Papa mujhe paanch hazar rupay chahiye"

Ruhana asked her "itne paise kyun chahiye?"

"Are mumma latest dress hai mujhe wo leni hai kal shruti ke saath jaana hai lene after school" Manvi said with a smile.

"Are pichle hafte lo li thi na ek dress" Ruhana said.

Manvi replied "mumma.. Ek hafta pehle li thi" she then looked at Vineet "papa paise do na.."

Ruhana warned him "koi zaroorat nhi hai paise deni ki itne kapde hai aur nhi lene"

Manvi makes sad face and stamps her foot "you don't love me" and moved to her room.

Vineet looked at Ruhana, who glanced at him "nahi" and moved to room.

Vineet sighed and mumurs "ye maa beti meri parade karati hai apne peeche"

He moved into the room and tried to talk to Ruhana but she ignored the topic. He moved to Manvi's room who refused to listen anything. He thinks "beti ki suno to biwi naraz biwi ki suno to beti naraz main kya karoon"

The next morning, Manvi got ready for school. Vineet came to her "mannu"

Manvi looked at him sadly, he takes out money and gives to her. Manvi smiled broadly and hugged him "love you papa thank you so much" she then kissed his cheeks and left for school.

He turned and found Ruhana standing there, she glared at him and moved in.

"Naraz hai.. beti ke chakkar mein biwi naraz ho gayi.. Koi na mujhe manana aata hai.. Shyam ko manata hoon" he moved to office.

Manvi reached school and smirked "aaj iss biology professor ka aakhri din hoga..."

She sat in the classroom, Shruti asked her "Tu karne kya wali hai?"

"Are usko aane toh de.. Fir dekh tamasha" Manvi said winking at her.

Aarav entered inside and wished "Good morning students"

"Good morning professor" students wished back.

"So today we are going to study about internal organs" he said and started explaining.

He heard some unusual sound and asked "kaha se aa rahi hai ye awaaz?"

One of the student says "Don't know professor"

The principal enters inside and says "Professor Aarav Mehra!"

Aarav looked at him "kya hua Sir?"

"Yeh to aap mujhe batayenge! Mana students galti karte hai lekin unpe haath uthana this is totally not accepted" Prinicpal said.

Aarav looked at him bewildered "What?? Sir maine aisa kuch nhi kiya hai"

"Aapne nhi kiya to ye letter?" he showed him. Aarav looked, he eyed at Manvi.

The student who was standing there said "Sir ye handwriting to Manvi ki hai.."

Principal looked at Manvi and shouted "come here"

Manvi gets up from bench and moved. Aarav spoke up "Sir.. I am sorry it is my fault aap jo saza dena chahte hai de sakte hai"

Manvi looked at him shockingly.

Principal said "you are not teaching here Mr. Aarav Mehra.. Pehle hamare assets damage kiye and ab ye harkat you are fired" and he left.

Aarav moved out of the classroom, Manvi followed him "Sir.. please rukiye"

Aarav stopped and turned, "Aapne mujhe kyun bachaya?"

Aarav spoke up "main nhi chahta tha tumhara future barbad ho" he then also says "mujhe nhi pata tumhe mujhse kya problem hai kyun kiya ye sab tumne" and left.

Shruti came out and said "mannu he is nice person yaar.. Tune acha nhi kiya unke saath"

Manvi moved to Principal's office "may I come in Sir"

Principal looked at her "come in.."

"Sir Professor Aarav is not at fault unhone kuch nhi kiya hai wo letter ek prank tha I am sorry aap please unhe wapas job pe rakh lijiye" Manvi said with head down.

Shruti informed Aarav about Manvi being at Principal's office. He moved in..

"Miss Manvi Khanna you are suspended from school" The principal said.

Aarav spoke up "Sir please aisa mat kijiye I will assure you ye dubara aisa kuch nhi karegi"

"Aarav don't support her" he said.

"Sir she is my student aur mujhe pata hai isko biology mein interest nhi hai isliye iski attendence bhi low rahi hai lekin I will assure you aage se ye aisa kuch nhi karegi" Aarav said with a smile.

Principal looked "thik hai Aarav tum kehte ho toh I will not suspend her"

They moved out and Manvi said "Thank you"

"Manvi tum mujhe break time mein milogi and we will discuss the matter tomorrow now go back to your classroom" Aarav said.

Manvi nodded and starts walking, she thought about him "inko pata tha sab maine kiya still he saved me.."
