AR Associates

Aarav's car reached the office gate. He saw Manvi arguing with the security guard as he was not letting her get in due to him. Aarav sighed, the car crossed her and she gave a hateful look towards him.

The driver parked the car and Aarav got down, he went up to the office and entered inside his chamber.

He glanced outside and saw Manvi entering in. She sat on her desk and seemed to be so irritated..

"I hate this man.. Hamesha mujhe rokte hai enter karne se uski wajah se" Manvi said in anger.

Aarav smiled hearing her.

He reached his chamber, Anand was already present there along with his new business partner.

He is Alok Tyagi, Anand spoke "Alok.. here is my only son I am sure this relation and business deal will get us to more heights"

Aarav was bewildered hearing them, after sometime Alok left. Aarav questioned "Dad... ye kya baat kar rahe they aap log?"

Anand gave him a firm look "sawal karne ka haq tumhe nahi hai" he kept the file in his hand "ye new project ki file hai work on it" and left the place.

Aarav sighed and threw away the file in frustration.

He then heard a voice, he looked outside and in a second his anger vanished into a broad smile appearing on his lips.

It was Manvi, she was complaining to her colleague.

"By god.. Ye boss samajhta kya hai khudko? I just hate these rich people.. Na tameez hoti hai aur na hi respect karte hai kisiki" she spoke.

Her colleague replied "par hamare Sir aise nahi hai.."

Manvi glared at her "wo dekh.. Mr. Anand khadoos buddha.. Kaise daant raha hai obviously inka beta bhi same hoga.." she spoke

Aarav smiled hearing her..

"Acha ye file main deke aati hun andar.." Manvi said..

Aarav panicked, if she saw him inside then she would be angered. What to do? He removed the coat immediately and opened up the top shirt button folding up his shirt sleeves and messing up his hair a bit.

The cabin door opened and Manvi entered it. She glanced at him, he smiled at her.

"Tum.. yahan kya kar rahe ho?" she asked suspiciously..

"Wo... sir ka wait.." he replied..

Manvi agreed, she asked "aaya nahi wo? Hai kahan?"

Aarav was thoughtful, Manvi questioned again "bolo bhi.."

"Meeting ke liye gaye hai.." Aarav lied.

"God.. anyways ye file uss khadoos ko de dena.." she kept the file on the table.

"Khadoos? Tumhe kaise pata wo khadoos hai?" Aarav questioned with a smile.

"Big boss ko dekha hai? Khadoos hitler type hai toh obviously unka beta bhi aisa hoga and these rich people have so much attitude.." she said in a hateful tone.

"Aisa nahi hai.. I mean sir.. Apne dad jaise nahi hai" Aarav informed.

"Dekho tum uski tarafdari mat karo.. Samjhe" Manvi spoke and left the cabin.

Aarav sighed..

Later in the evening, everyone left the office. Aarav came to the car and said "tum ghar jao main baad mein aa jaunga"

"Par sir ne kaha hai main aapko leke hi aau" the driver informed.

Aarav glared at him.. "Mere driver ho na tum.. So just listen to me" he nearly shouted.

The driver agreed, Aarav walked out of the office building. He came a bit far, Manvi stopped her scooty in front of him.. "Hello.."

Aarav looked at her and smiled "tum.."

"Chalo tumhe ghar chod deti hun" Manvi said

"Nahi it's okay main chala jaunga" Aarav informed.

"Dekho uss din tumne meri help ki thi.. Please come" Manvi said with a smile.

Aarav nodded and sat behind her, she drove off.

"Waise rehte kaha hai ho tum?" Manvi questioned..

Aarav was thoughtful, what to answer her. He just took a random place name "malad mein.."

"Acha.. ghar mein kaun kaun hai tumhare?" she asked.

"Maa hai" he informed.

"Mere ghar mein meri Di hai aur jiju hai waise toh mere jiju hai businessman par he is down to earth person dusron ki tarah nahi hai wo" she said praising him.

Manvi stopped the scooty at Marine Drive. Aarav asked "yahan kyun roka?"

"Mujhe na waha chaat khani hai aur ghar bhi leke jaani hai" Manvi informed.

Aarav got off the scooty, Manvi parked it and came to the stall. She ordered two plates, one she gave him and another she took for herself. She was keeping on speaking and he was staring at her.

She snipped her fingers in front of him, he came out trance of his thoughts.

She looked at her watch and shouted "oh god.. 7 baj gaye aaj phir late hui na Di meri jaan le legi.. Dekho yahan se tum apne ghar chale jao sorry bye.."

"Suno.. ab hum dost hai toh I mean main tumse baat.." he hesitated.

She passed an anger look to him. "Acha tarika hai ladki ka number maangne ka.." she said.

She sat on her scooty, Aarav just smiled and walked ahead.

Manvi came to him "suno.. 987....."

Aarav was confused "kya..."

"Number hai mera.." Manvi spoke, Aarav took out his phone and saved the number. She drove off and Aarav ruffled his hair.

Raina Home

Manvi returned home, she saw Rajveer sitting on the couch and watching the news.

She said "Good evening jiju"

But he ignored her, Manvi sighed in disappointment.

Rajveer said "naina.. Main room mein jaa raha hun khana ready ho jaye toh bula lena" and headed to his room.

Manvi sat down on the couch with a thud. She held the cushion near to her heart. Naina came out of the kitchen and sat beside her.

"Aww.. mera bacha upset hai" she said..

"Di.. jiju abtak naraz hai" Manvi said sadly..

Naina hit her head lightly "Ab tum kaam hi aise karti ho.. Apni nadaani mei galti kar baithti ho" she exclaimed.

"Offo mujhe thodi pata tha wo shirt itna special hai jiju ke liye" Manvi said..

"Ab jhelo uska gussa" Naina replied.

Manvi passed an innocent smile and said in the sweetest tone "Di.."

"No... I am not helping you out" Naina strictly denied.

"Iss ghar mein kisiko mujhse pyaar hi nahi hai" she said dramatically making a sad face.

"Nautanki" Naina spoke and went.

Manvi was left with an open mouth, she then thought about Aarav maybe he can give her some solution.

She messaged him and he replied to her something to which she was left amazed. She took the shirt inside the room and started fixing it.

Rajveer and Naina were at the dining table, Naina said "Raj.. main soch rahi thi Sunday ko hum outing pe chale bahut time ho gaya hai"

Rajveer agreed "haa tum chali jaana Manvi ke saath mujhe kaam hai"

"This is not fair.. Tum jante ho tumhare bina hum dono kahi nahi jaate hai" she informed him trying to convince.

"Naina please mera mood nahi hai baat karne ka" he said.

"Mujhse kya narazgi hai tumhari?" she asked angrily.

"Rajveer sighed and apologized "I am sorry.."

Naina smiled, she then eyed at the chaat "Are.. haan mannu ye chaat laayi thi.. Khao"

Rajveer glanced at it "mujhe nahi khana.."

"Very bad bhai.. Kisika gussa khane pe nahi nikalte" he heard the voice.

He turned and saw Manvi standing there with a teddy bear in her hand. The shirt which she turned into cushion cover was now the shirt of the teddy bear. It indeed looked cute..

She forwarded it "sorry jiju.. Dekho wapas se shirt bana diya aur isko apne bhai ka dummy samajhlo.. Cute na"

Rajveer held it and glanced at it.

"Jiju maan jao na please.. Kitni mehnat ki hai maine mere komal se haath dard kar rahe hai" Manvi spoke pretending to be in pain.

"Raj ab maan bhi jao.. Chodo narazgi" Naina also said, convincing him.

"Thik hai.. Iss baar tumhe maaf kar deta hun.. Toh sunday chalte hai outing par" Rajveer said with a broad smile on his face.

Naina and Manvi smiled hearing him.

Manvi shouted "yaaay.." she hugged him from behind "thank you jiju you are the best" he patted her head..

Shekhawat Mansion

Aarav was inside his room, he received a message from Manvi "thank you for your Idea jiju maan gaye.. You are really sweet and intelligent"

A smile appeared on his face reading it. Rama entered the room and glanced at him.

"Aarav.. Beta khana laayi hun khale.." Rama said.

"Maa shayad aap bhool rahi hai Dad ne mujhe dinner karne se mana kiya hai" Aarav reminded her.

"Ek dum ziddi ho tum.." Rama said.

He just smiled, he wanted to share with her about Manvi.

Rama asked "kuch baat hai?"

"Haa maa... wo ek ladki hai jo mujhe bahut pasand hai" Aarav informed her.

Rama was shocked hearing him, she was thoughtful.. "Ye bhi uss raste pe chal pada hai jis raste pe Rajveer chala tha.. Jaane iss baar kya toofan aayega"

To be continued..

Stay safe everyone...

Take care.
