Raina House

Manvi was sleeping peacefully, she saw Aarav's face and woke up with a jerk. "Ye mere sapno mein kya kar raha hai?" she thought.

Naina entered in and was surprised to see her awake. She asked "Aaj mere uthane se pehle kaise uth gayi?"

"Di.. mere sapno mein aaya wo" she said in a state of shock.

Naina sat beside her and said "ooho.. Sapno mein bhi aane laga ab toh 100% tujhe usse pyar ho gaya"

"Haww Di? Aap aise kaise bol sakti ho?" she asked confusingly.

Rajveer sat on other side and said "kyuki tumhari di ke sapno mein main aata tha na"

Manvi giggled... "Aap toh Di ko din mein dikhayi dete they" she said.

"Haan.. aur tum uske liye shopping kar rahi ho.. Uske saath ghumti ho.. Aur ab sapno mein rehti hun" Naina exclaimed.

Manvi smiled and was thoughtful. Rajveer smiled "zyada mat socho aaj sham ko usko dinner pe bula lo"

Manvi chuckled hearing it and hugged him "thank you jiju.." she went into the bathroom.

She got ready quickly and took her scooty, Naina said "Sambhalke jaana"

Manvi nodded and reached the office in half an hour. She rushed into the office with much excitement, but Aarav was nowhere to be found. She was confused, she called him but it was switched off.

"Hein kaha hai ye?" she was thinking. She waited for him the whole day but he did not turn up.

Later in the evening, she came out of the office but was unable to find him anywhere. She drove off towards Marine Drive, at last she found him. She parked her scooty and sat beside him.

Aarav glanced at her and asked "Tum yahan?"

"Haa.. subah se tumhe office mein dhundh rahi thi lekin tum aaye nahi kya hua hai tumhe?" she asked.

"Tumhe kaise pata main yahan hun?" he asked.

"Aksar jab pareshani hoti hai toh samundar ke paas hi aate sukoon paate hai aur isliye maine socha tum bhi yahi honge" she said and he was left surprised hearing her.

Aarav looked on at her, she asked "batao kya hua tumhe?"

He does not know how to tell her about what is happening in his life? Manvi shrugged his shoulder, he denied.

She gave him the shopping bag, he asked "ye kya hai?"

"Tumhari shirt mujhse spoil ho gayi toh maine tumhare liye new li hai dekho" she said excitedly.

Aarav opened it and it was his favourite blue and white check print shirt. A smile appeared on his face "thank you"

"Pasand aaya tumhe?" she asked.

He nodded in yes. "Acha chalo ab mere saath" she said holding his hand.

He asked "kahan?"

"Mere ghar pe.. Di aur jiju tumse milna chahte hai" she exclaimed.

"Mujhse?" he asked, surprised.

"Yes.." Manvi replied.

"Par kyun?" he questioned.

"Offo tum kitne intelligent bante ho par iss mamle mein ek dum dumb ho.. Chalo main hi kah deti hun shayad main tumse pyaar karne lagi hun.. Din raat tumhare baare mein sochti rehti hun na" Manvi confessed.

Aarav looked at her with an open mouth, she just proposed to him. Manvi sighed "tum na bas mujhe ghurte rehte ho.. Bolo mujhse pyaar karte ho ki nahi?" she asked.

"Karta hun par.. Abhi tumhare ghar nahi aa sakta hun" he said.

"Par kyun? Mujhe kuch nahi sunna hai tum aa rahe ho toh aa rahe ho" Manvi said admantly. She made him stand up and took him towards the scooty.

Aarav protested, it started to rain heavily. Aarav took her under the gateway of India as it is not safe to drive during rain.

Aarav glanced at her and held her from the waist. Manvi looked at him with surprise, he approached her lips and kissed her to which she responded back.

They parted the kiss when they were out of breath, Aarav decided to reveal his true identity to her now.

"Manvi mujhe tumse bahut zaroori baat kehni hai" Aarav said.

"Haan kaho.." she asked.

"Mai.. wo nahi hun jo tum samajh rahi ho" he exclaimed.

She was confused with his words "matlab?"

"Maine tumse jhooth bola tha.. Mai.."

Suddenly the driver came and said "Aarav Sir, Anand sir ka kaam khatam ho gaya hai unhe aapko ghar chalne ke liye kaha hai"

Aarav signed and passed a deadly glare to him. He shouted at him "main baat kar raha hun.. Jao yahan se"

The driver left after a few seconds. Manvi left Aarav's hand and asked "yeh driver tumhe sir kyun kah raha tha?? Anand Sir.. tum.."

Aarav revealed "haa.. Main hi unka beta hun Aarav Sh..." he was left incomplete when Manvi slapped on his face.

"Tumne mujhse jhooth bola ye jante hue bhi how much I hate rich people.." Manvi shouted at him.

"Isliye toh nahi bataya tha.. Tumhe khone se darta tha" he said in a low tone..

"No.. you lied to me Aarav I hate you tumhari shakal bhi nahi dekhni hai mujhe" she shouted..

She was about to leave but he held his wrist "Manvi listen please.."

"Kya??" she said..

Manvi remembered seeing him always in the cabin and smirked "itna jhooth bola mujhse tumne tumhara cabin tha wo.. Disgusting Aarav"

"Manvi please.. Main pehle tumhara dil jeetna chahta tha.. Phir" Aarav said calmly.

"Haa.. aur tumhe laga sach jaanne ke baad main tumse nafrat nahi karungi? I hate rich people.. Jinhe sirf orders chalane aate hai middle class logo ki respect karni nahi aati tum sab ek jaise ho tumne mere dil ke saath khela.." She confronted him and left the place.

Aarav sighed in disappointment. Tears slid down his eyes, he did not expect this from her. The driver horned, Aarav moved towards the car and sat behind.

Anand questioned "bol diya uss ladki ko?"

"Uski zaroorat hi nahi padi Dad..thanks to you" Aarav said angrily.

Raina House

Rajveer was early today to help Naina prepare dinner. Instead of helping, he was messing the kitchen. She scolded him "Raj.. tum kaam kam mera kitchen kharab zyada kar rahe ho bahar jao"

"Are main help bhi toh kar raha hun.." he said while chopping the salad.

"Dikh rahi hai tumhari help" she spoke while looking at the mess on the slab.

The dinner preparation was almost over, Naina heard her scooty sound and smiled "aa gayi madam usko leke"

Rajveer said "main dekhta hun"

He went out and saw Manvi entering in all wet. He saw her alone and asked "mannu tumhara..?"

She ran to him and hugged him tightly. Rajveer smeared her head, she started to cry aloud. He got worried and asked "mannu kya hua??"

"Jiju.. he is a cheater, usne mujhse jhooth bola" she said while sobbing.

He took her to the couch and she sat down. Naina came out after hearing her cries, she grabbed the towel and whipped her head "kya hua mannu?? Kyun roh rahi ho batao"

She was silent, Rajveer gave her water to drink. She drank it and then kept the glass on the table.

He held her hand and asked "kya hua??"

"Jiju.. usne mujhse jhooth bola ki wo ek clerk hai par actually mein wo uss company ke boss ka beta tha" she exclaimed.

Naina and Rajveer were shocked hearing it.

"I hate him.. Usko pata tha mujhe ameer logo se nafrat hai unhe tameez nahi hoti middle class logo ko apne pairon ki jhuti samajhte hai.." She said in a hateful tone.

"Mannu shant ho jao.." Rajveer said.

Naina sat beside her and asked "acha ye bata kabse jaanti hai usko tu?"

"3 mahine se Di.." Manvi replied.

"Aur uska behaviour kaisa tha tere saath?" she asked.

Manvi remembered, he had travelled with her in a rickshaw, auto and even had street food which high society people hate.

"Bolo.. bache" Rajveer asked.

She told them everything he did with her.

"Toh wo bilkul mere jaisa hua na manvi??" Rajveer asked.

Manvi was thoughtful. Rajveer smiled and wiped her tears "tumhari Di ke peeche kya kya kiya maine ye tumhe toh pata hi hai.."

Manvi looked at Naina who smiled...

She remembered....
