Nitya went after Manvi and stopped her. Manvi looked at her all confused.

"Kya hua?" Manvi asked.

"Lunchtime par yahi tiffin lekar tu ja" Nitya said.

"Nahi nahi! Main nahi" Manvi says.

"Nahi nahi kya, tu Aarav bhaiya ki patni hai, bechare Aarav bhaiya tu toh unhe jaanti hai, tiffin nahi hoga toh khana khana hi bhool jaenge aur na canteen mein khayenge isliye tu jaa" Nitya said

"Arey lekin..."

"Lekin kya? Tu kya chahti hai? Bechare Aarav bhaiya din bhar bhookhe rahein?"

Manvi nodded negatively and smiled and said "Accha thik hai, main le jaungi"

Nitya gestures all the best sign to her.

TK Industries.

It was lunchtime, the receptionist called Aarav and informed him about Manvi's arrival. A sweet smile came on his face and he asked her to send her in. Manvi knocked at his door and he sweetly opened it.

"Kya baat hai, aaj aap yahan?"

"Kya karun, ab mere pati agar achanak tiffin bhool jayenge toh mujhe toh lana hi padega na" Manvi replied.

"Please have a seat" said Aarav directing her towards the chair in front of him. He took the tiffin from her hand.

"Dekhein toh aaj kya laai ho tum mere liye" Aarav said and he started opening the tiffin. He was glad as it was all his favorites.

"Hairan mat ho, tumhein kya lagta hai? 6 mahino mein sirf tumhi mujhe achhi tarah se jaan paae ho?" She asked. Aarav smiled and then he opened another box. It contained chapatis.

"Itni rotiyan? Manvi tum jaanti ho main itna thodi khata hun '' he said and started having lunch.

"Ahmm..." Manvi pretended to clear her throat. Aarav looked at her.

"Tumne kuch nahi khaya?"

Manvi shrugged her shoulders.

"Kyu? Kiska intezar kar rahi thi?" Aarav asked.

"Haan main intezaar kar rahi thi"

"Kiska? Mera?" Aarav asked.

"Kya Manvi, tum kya ye typical wives ki tarah behave kar rahi ho?" Aarav complained.

"Wife hun toh wife ki hi tarah behave karungi na, aur tum toh hairan aise ho rahe ho jaise maine tumhe ye keh diya ki mujhe apne haathon se khilao" Manvi replied.

"Kehne ka matlab toh wahi tha tumhara" Aarav said.

"Tum na mujhe apni ye architecture ki designs ki tarah uljhaya mat karo, maine ye kaha ki main wait kar rahi thi, tumhara wait kar rahi thi ye nahi kaha maine ". Manvi said, making a face.

"Achha toh kiska wait kar rahi thi? Nitya ka ya Aniket ka?" Aarav asked.

Manvi got irritated and got up from the seat.

"Tumse toh baat hi karna hi bekar hai" she complained and turned to leave but Aarav got up and held her hand, he twisted it behind her back to stop her from leaving.

"Tum toh naraz ho gai" he said with a sweet smile and Manvi's anger was lost as well. She smiled and he took her to his seat again. He grabbed a piece of chapati with daal and made her eat it.

"Mera hi intezar tha na?" He asked looking into her eyes and she couldn't lie further. She nodded with a smile.

Valor Group of Companies

Neil and Aniket were having lunch together.

"Oho! Kya awesome khana bana hai dude, auntie ne banaya hai?"

"Nahi ye toh vo Chandralekha ji ne..." Aniket replied and he stopped. He remembered how Nitya looked in the saree and was lost for a few moments.

"Ye Chandralekha ji kaun hai?"

"Wo meri doctor hai aur..." he narrated him the entire story about Chandralekha.

"Kya baat hai Aniket, manna padega, girlfriend se seedha biwi, vo bhi kisi aur ki" Neil commented to tease him but Aniket felt bad about it. He couldn't say anything to him but he didn't want anyone to question his and Chandralekha's relationship and question her character.

Malhotra Niwas

Manvi had returned home. She was very happy spending those few moments that she got with Aarav. Nitya was in her room and suddenly she called out to everyone.

"Maa, choti ma" she called. She saw Manvi coming home and she called her too.

"Mannu jaldi upar aa"

The ladies assembled in Nitya's room.

"Kya hua Nitya tune hum sab ko kyun bulaya?" asked Nandini

"Choti maa, maa aap ko shikayat thi na ki aap meri aur Aniket ki shadi nahi dekh paai, ye dekhiye videos aur photographs bhi" she said and started showing them the same on her laptop. She kept the printed pictures album on the bed.

"OMG Nitya! Aniket bhaiya kitne romantic hain" exclaimed Manvi.

"Haan, bahot zyada, usay pata hai ki mujhe pictures ka kitna shauk hai toh usne pictures click karwane ka bhi arrangement kar rakha tha vo bhi aise ki mujhe pata hi na chale" she said remembering the moments.

"Haye mere bachhe kitne pyare lag rahe hain" said Pooja adoring the pictures.

"Lekin ye pics aai kahan se Nitya?" Manvi asked.

Nitya got sad and brought a delivery box. She showed it to everyone and said "Aniket ne pehle se hi book kar rakha tha, aaj hamari 7th month anniversary hai na, uspe gift"

She had come to tears and she read the note

Dear Jaan,

Aaj 7 mahine ho chuke hain hamari shaadi ko, is baar bhi main hi tumhein gift de raha hun, tum toh mere liye kuch lai nahi hogi. I know tumne gharwalon ko mana liya hai aur unhone tumhein maaf bhi kar diya hai, tumhara charm hi kuch aisa hai. Nitya aaj apne is tohfe mein main tumhein hamari yaadein gift kar raha hun, taaki tum kabhi na bhoolo ki tumhara kitna romantic husband hai

Love

Aniket <3

Nitya wiped her tears and here Aniket was standing downstairs. He entered the home as Manvi had forgotten to lock the door.

"Ye ladies bhi na, kaise laparwahi se ghar khula chhod rakha hai, meri jagah koi aur aa jata toh, sabko daant lagani padegi" he thought and went upstairs. He noticed everyone gathered in Manvi and Nitya's room.

"Achha toh ye sab chal raha hai yahan" he said in a firm tone. Everyone looked at him, their expressions changed, they thought that Aniket must have heard something.

"Aniket tum? Itni jaldi aa gaye" asked Manvi.

"Haan aur main jaanta hun aap log kya kar rahe hain" Aniket said and everyone was shocked.

"Kya kar rahe thay Aniket" Nandini asked suspiciously.

"Ghode bechkar gappe lada rahe thay" Aniket said sternly and everyone sighed.

"Arey neeche ka darwaza khula tha aur aap sab log itne magan thay yahan, aisa kya kar rahe thay aap" he asked. His eyes fell on the photo albums placed on the bed.

"Ye sab kya hai"

"Ye Chandralekha ki shadi ki photos hain" Manvi replied.

"Achha main bhi toh dekhun" he said and was about to pickup the wedding album but Nitya placed another album in his hands.

"Ye hai meri shadi ki photos" Nitya gave the album to him. Everyone stared at her.

Aniket opened the album.

"Ye hai aapka pati Chandralekha ji?" He asked and she nodded. Everyone closed their eyes as they thought that everything will have to be revealed to Aniket.

"Are you sure ye cartoon aapka pati hai?" He asked showing the picture to her and everyone looked at the picture. It was a pic of Nitya with Ruhaan and everyone sighed looking at it.

"Aur ab aapne dekh liya na unhein, ab laiye deejiye" Nitya said and took the album from his hands.

"Haan haan mujhe bhi koi shauk nahi hai aapke pati ki shakal dekhte rehne ka" he said and left. Jealousy was quite noticed by everyone over there on his face.

"Beta ye kaun tha?" Pooja asked about the pic.

"Maa ye Nitya aur mera bachpan ka dost hai Ruhaan, ye diwali ki pictures hai jab vo ghar aaya tha"

"Maine jab Aniket ko aate huye dekha tabhi ye album bagal wale drawer se nikaal kar de diya tha" Nitya replied.

NEXT MORNING

Nitya was about to keep Aniket's clothes on his bed but just as she was going to do the same, Aniket held her hand.

"Pakdi gayi" Aniket said.

"Kya matlab?" She wondered.

"Matlab Chandralekha ji please ye sab karna band keejiye, ye mera tiffin pack karna, ye kapde nikalna, ye rumaal wallet etc etc sab karna band keejiye" he muttered angrily

"Aap aise kyun keh rahe hain Aniket?" asked Nitya who was trying hard to hold her tears.

"Toh aur kya kahun Chandralekha ji? Ye harkatein karna band keejiye, main aapka pati nahin hun, so please don't try to be my wife" he bawled and took out a pair of clothes and went inside the washroom. Nitya couldn't bear it and immediately left the room carrying tears in her eyes. Manvi had heard all their conversation and she either couldn't bear her sister getting insulted like this.

Aniket on the other hand thought "Chandralekha ji I am really sorry lekin main nahi chahta aapko is tarah meri parwah karte dekh koi aapke baare mein galat soche"

He didn't even say a single word to her and left immediately after getting ready.

Aarav didn't have much work today so he decided to leave at half time. He was in the hall when he heard some voices from his room. He immediately headed upstairs. He saw Manvi in anger and frustration.

"Arey Manvi kya hua?"

Manvi didn't say anything but she opened his wardrobe and started throwing his clothes on the floor.

"Ye tum kya kar rahi ho Manvi?" He asked.

"Ye, ye toh mujhe bahot pehle kar dena chahiye tha" she said angrily.

"Arey tumhein hua kya hai kuch batao hi?" He asked.

"Mujhe kya hua hai? Mujhe?" She showed him his lamp and threw it on the floor.

"Haan tum aise meri cheezein kyu fek rahi ho?" He asked looking at the condition of his room, where things laid everywhere on the floor.

"Kya problem kya hai tumhari Manvi?" He asked

"Meri kya problem hai? Mujhe kya hua hai? Arey tumhare bhai ko kya hua hai? Uski kya problem hai? Meri aur meri behen ki jo bhi haalat hai hai na sirf aur sirf tumhare us badtameez aur ehsaan faramosh bhai ke wajah se hui hai" she retorted.

"Ab kya kiya Aniket ne?" Aarav asked.

"Kya kiya? Arey uski problem kya hai haan? Meri behen, bina kuch kahe, bina kisi expectations ke uska sara kaam karti hai, uska dhyan rakhti hai aur vo usay itna sunata hai? Mana mana uski yadasht chali gai hai, manner bhi bhool gaya hai kya wo?" She bawled at him.

"Manvi dekho shaant ho jao" Aarav tried to calm her down but she took the lamp and moved forward.

"Tum chup raho, beech mein mat bolo, tum toh apne bhai ki hi side loge na, aur usay kuch samjhaoge bhi nahi, kyunki uski toh tabiyat kharab hai, hai na" she said and continued throwing his clothes down.

"Arey gussa mujhse ho ya mere bhai se ? Aur aise saamaan neeche kyun fek rahi ho?" He asked.

"Haan, saaman toh mujhe tumhare bhai ka bhi fekna chahiye haina, tum logon ko itni achhi biwi mili hai usi baat ka fayda uthate ho tum" retorted Manvi and was about to move to Aniket's room but Aarav held her hand. She slipped over something and was about to fall but Aarav caught her.

"Bas bas bas, relax" he said.

Manvi glared at him angrily.

"Nikaal liya gussa? Ho gaya?" Aarav asked sweetly and she looked at him. He hugged her sweetly but she was still in anger.

"Aarav mujhse door hato tum jaante nahi ho main kitne gusse mein hun, main kya kar sakti hun" she said

"Achha? Zara main bhi toh dekhun tum kya kar sakti ho?" He said challenging her.

"Ruko abhi batati hun" Manvi said and she went to the washroom. She brought his shaving foam and applied it on his entire face.

"Tumne mujhpar ye foam laga diya?" He asked.

"Shukar manao sirf ye foam lagaya hai, ustra lekar gala nahin kata maine" Manvi said angrily. Aarav laughed, he went to the washroom and washed his face.

"Bas ab kuch hadh tak gussa shant hua?"he asked. Manvi nodded but wasn't satisfied, she wanted to complain more.

"Dekho Aarav main..." but before she could speak, Aarav, all impressed by her cute anger, smiled and hugged her again.

"Bas bas bas, bahot hua, bas, main samjhaunga Ani ko" he said

"Pakka?"

"Haan bhayi pakka, bilkul ekdam pakka" he assured her and hugged her tighter.

"Aur agar tum usay samjha nahin paaye na toh dekhna, kaise main apni Manvigiri par utarti hun haan" she warned him but he giggled and caressed her head.

"Kamaal ki baat hai, jis Manvi ki ye jungli harkatein mujhe kabhi pareshan kiya karti thi unhi pe mujhe ab pyaar aa raha hai"he thought.
