Manvi and Vineet looked at Ruhana in anger, they pushed away the plate indicating they will not eat this.

Ruhana smiled broadly "aur kuch nhi bana hai khane mein! Jo hai yahi hai" she sat down on the chair.

Manvi looked at Vineet and signaled him "I can't eat this"

Vineet also signaled same "me too"

Ruhana eyed them both and thinks "bahut sata rahe they na mujhe ab meri baari hai"

She then looked at both "tum dono ko khana hai ki nahi?" she asked.

They shook their head in no. Ruhana picked up the food and moved into the kitchen "mat khao"

They were left with open mouth. Manvi tapped on table, Vineet looked at her. Manvi said making face I am hungry.

Ruhana came back and sat on the couch relaxing. She turned on the television and started watching a programme.

Vineet signaled Manvi and they moved into the kitchen. They searched for something to eat but were unable to find anything except Khichdi and Karela.

Ruhana stood at the door and said "fruits khatam ho gaye hai ghar mein, aur tumhara junk food maine aisi jagah rakha hai raat bit jayegi dhudhte dhundhte"

Manvi and Vineet looked at each other. Vineet thinks "bahut fayada utha rahi ho tum Ruhana"

"tum dono bahut satate ho na toh mujhe mauka mila hai fayda kyun na uthau?" Ruhana said winking at him.

He was shocked, how she knew what he is thinking. Manvi asked by signaling "how she knew?"

Ruhana said "tum meri beti aur yeh mere pati rag rag se vakif hoon tum dono ki"

Manvi sighed.

"toh ab khichdi ya karela?" Ruhana asked them.

Helplessly they pointed towards Khichdi. Ruhana smiled "good, jaake baitho main garam karke laati hoon"

They moved out and settled on the dining table. Ruhana got and puts in front of them. Vineet and Manvi starts eating with making weird faces. Ruhana ate with full enjoyment.

It was evening, 6 pm. Ruhana thought "Subah se chup hai dono ab toh mujhe bhi lag raha hai dono hai hi nhi yahan jaise.. bolte hi ache lagte hai"

She moved into the room where Vineet and Manvi were. Vineet was working on laptop and Manvi was playing on her phone.

"tum dono bas phone aur laptop mein hi lage rehna" she scolds them.

Vineet looked at her and smiled.

Ruhana snatched the phone from Manvi's hand, Manvi eyed her in anger. Ruhana said "kya phone mein lagi ho jaake padai karo"

Manvi shook her head in no, she picks up the notepad and wrote something. She showed it to Ruhana, Ruhana read it "Aaj Sunday hai only masti"

Ruhana glanced at her and said "koi masti nhi jaake padho chalo"

Manvi denies, she took back her phone and again engaged in it.

Ruhana sighed, she looked at Vineet and said "Tum bhi ghar mein office ka kaam leke baith gaye"

Vineet smiled and showed her the laptop. He was doing online shopping for Manvi. Ruhana was left with open mouth "firse shopping abhi ke abhi cancel karo"

He denies, Ruhana eyed him "Vineet pichle hafte ki thi na aur mat bigado isko abhi ke abhi cancel karo"

Vineet shook his head in no and pressed the payment button. He winked at her, Ruhana sighed "Arghh! Ab bas karo dono kuch baat karo"

Manvi wrote on the note pad "mumma challenge khatam hone mein abhi 6 hours baaki hai"

Ruhana sat on the couch in frustration. She thinks "thik hai.. tum dono ka challenge break karti hoon main maun vrat do second mein tootega.." 

Manvi smiled broadly "mumma yeh challenge toh hum hi jeetne wale hai" she thought.

Around 8 pm, Vineet and Manvi sat on the dining table for the food. Ruhana came and sat on the couch.

Manvi snipped her fingers, Ruhana looked at her "kya?"

"Khana?" she said with moving her hands.

"Mera mood nhi hai banane ka" Ruhana said.

Vineet got up and moved to her and signalled "kyun??"

"Mood nhi hai toh nahi hai" Ruhana said while picking up the magazine. She starts reading, Manvi came.

She took the magazine and fumed in anger. Ruhana looked at her and said "gussa mat dikhao mujhe papa sunte honge tumhari main nahi itni bhook lagi hai toh khud jaake banalo"

Manvi looked at Vineet and pointed towards kitchen. He was shocked, he had to cook. He denies and then something stricted his mind. He took the car keys and said to go out.

Manvi smiled and they moved towards the door. Manvi tried to open the door but it was locked.

Ruhana smiled and said "locked hai, bahar nhi jaa sakte ho"

Vineet and Manvi stamped their foot in anger. Manvi moved into the room and Vineet sat on the couch putting the news channel.

He rolled his eyes towards Ruhana, who passed a smile to him.

After an hour Manvi came out of the room and finally spoke up "papa bahut bhook lagi hai please kuch banao"

Vineet looked at her and said "bhook toh mujhe bhi lagi hai chalo kuch karte hai"

Just then Ruhana said "Ahan! Toot gaya maun vrat"

Vineet looked at her and said "haan toot gaya.. Ab toh khana dedo"

Ruhana smiled, she got up "baitho laati hoon khana 5 minute mein"

Manvi asked "aap kaise 5 minute mein banaogi khana?"

"Khana toh bana hua rakha hai" she said and moved into the kitchen.

Vineet and Manvi were shocked. "Haww.. aapne humhe satane ke liye yeh sab kiya" Manvi said in anger.

Ruhana shouted from kitchen "itna acha mauka haath se kaise jaane deti.."

She came and kept the food on dining table. Vineet and Manvi sat, Vineet smiled and asked "waise Roo tum toh miss kar rahi thi na hamara satana tumhe"

Manvi smiled "exactly.."

"Haan haan kar rahi thi isliye toh tum dono ka maun vrat break kiya.." she said with a smile.

"Acha hua aapne kar diya hum bhi thak gaye they bina kuch bole pura din guzare" Manvi said.

Vineet said "tumne khub fayda uthaya khichdi kilake.."

Ruhana smiled... "I loved that moment!"

After the food, they moved into the room. 

St. Xavier's School

Manvi was at the library, she wanted a book but it was on top shelf. She tried to reach it but was unable to.

Aarav came there and said "ruko main nikalta hoon"

Manvi nods, Aarav pulled out the book and hands her the book. Manvi smiled "thank you"

"After school milte hai yahi" he said and left.

Manvi smiled, she thought "manvi kya hua hai tujhe? Itna kyun muska rahi hai after school class sunne ke baad" she moved.

Shruti was with her and said "mannu kahi tu professor ko like toh nhi karne lagi?"

Manvi looked at her shockingly "pagal hai kya tu? Mere deemag mein aise khayal mat daal samjhi" she warned her.

"Arey yaar tune bus mein unko imagine kiya aur tu muskurayi this is sign of liking" Shruti adviced her.

Manvi was left in thoughts. She then said "nahi faltu gyan mat de mujhe samjhi abhi chal class ke liye late ho raha hai"

"What?? Biology class ke liye late" Shruti said in shock.

Manvi glared at her and said "are.. Tu bhi na.. Bahut shock hoti hai" and pulled her.

"Meri dost badal rahi hai. Har roj naya shock deti hai mujhe" Shruti said. 

Manvi and Shruti settled on the bench. Aarav began teaching, he questioned "so can anyone tell me about the respiratory system"

Manvi raised her hand and got up " is a consisting of specific and structures used for in and . The anatomy and physiology that make this happen varies greatly, depending on the size of the organism, the environment in which it lives and its evolutionary history." Manvi said in one breath.

Everyone looked at her in shock. She said "kya?? Maine koi joke nhi maara hai aage dekho sab"

They looked in front, Aarav smiled "very good Manvi aise hi shocks deti raho sabko" he said.

Manvi sits, Shruti looked at her and whispered "Manvi.. Professor ka jaadu chal raha hai tera interest jagne laga hai biology mein"

Manvi looked at her and said "Aisa kuch nahi hai.. Wo kal inhone bataya tha toh yaad raha mujhe"

Later at the library, Aarav and Manvi were sitting opposite each other.

Aarav said "so.. Let's began good you are catching up"

Manvi smiled. Aarav starts explaining the next part but Manvi was more lost in him. He snapped his fingers in front of her.

Manvi looked "yes sir"

"Where are you lost??" he asked.

Manvi nods "nowhere" and looks into the book.

"Acha wo homework kiya tumne?" he asked.

Manvi nods and hands him the notebook. Aarav was checking, Manvi looked at him and smiled. Manvi shook her head and murmurs "manvi kya hua hai tujhe.. Itna kyun dekh rahi hai unhe.. Concentrate"

Aarav asked her "kya badbada rahi ho tum?"

Manvi passed a smile to him "kuch nhi Professor"

"Waise professor aapko nahi lagta aapko shaadi karni chahiye kabtak kuware rahenge?" she asked

Aarav glanced at her and said "stop! Biology pe dhyan do samjhi"

Manvi nods, he said "acha suno principal ne kaha hai library school hours ke baad band rahegi toh tumhe tutions main de nhi paunga after school"

Manvi was shocked "kya?? Matlab fir main toh fail hi ho jaungi" she said sadly.

"Nahi hogi.. Main tumhe ghar aake de sakta hoon ek baar apne mumma papa se baat karlo" he said.

Manvi nods "wo mana thodi karenge.. Unki toh yahi khwaish hai unki beti baki subjects ki tarah bio mein bhi top kare"

Aarav smiled "wo toh kar hi logi agar pura dhyan yahan lagao toh idhar udhar ki baaton mein nahi" he said.

Manvi smiled and said "Agar samne cute handsome professor ho toh dhyan bhatakna lazmi hai"

Aarav eyed her "ahan! Flirt karna bhi aata hai tumhe"

Manvi smiled "bahut kuch aata hai! Basketball badminton sab aata hai aapko kya kya aata hai?" she asked.

"Main cooking kar leta hoon, sports is my favourite" he said.

Manvi jumped "woohu.. Sports toh mera bhi favourite hai bas cooking mere liye nahi hai" she replied.

Aarav glanced at her and said "Manvi.. Wapas tumne faltu ki baat shuru kardi.. Chalo next topic ke points likho"

Manvi nods and writes whatever he said. Manvi thinks "Mannu tujhe hua kya hai! Biology se zyada interest professor mein kyun aa raha hai tujhe"
