Ahana's Pov

Some habits change by the time, but this girl was crazy. She has turned fifteen but still, she needs a dozen of teddies on her bed to sleep. The room was at a mess, she can't be organised. I had to arrange the room properly every morning.

I moved to her and shouted "mannu utho school jaana hai"

But she was in her own dreamland. My voice was hitting her ears but she was not listening to me. I sat down on the bed and caressed her head "mannu utho school jaana hai"

She slid her head on my lap and said in sleepy tone "nahi jaana hai school"

I smiled, some habits were still of a kid. Every morning, she denies going to school. I said "dekh zyada drama mat kar.. Mujhe phir office bhi jaana hai late ho jayega chal khadi ho jaa"

Manvi opened her eyes and looked at me with a smile "aapko pata hai na meri subah aapko dekhke hoti hai"

"Haan ab mujhe dekh liya na chalo ab utho beta mujhe late ho jayega.." I said.

She stood up and said dramatically "ye school ne ek maa beti ke moment ko spoil kar diya.."

I sighed deeply at her drama "nautanki.. Fatafat ready ho jaa main breakfast banati hun" I moved out of the room.

I prepared breakfast, I arranged it on the dining table. I looked at the time it was 7.30 "mannu jaldi aao.. Late ho jaogi school ke liye"

She came out after 5 minutes and settled on the chair. I forwarded her the glass of milk, she made weird faces.

'Tera aise chahra banane se doodh khatam nhi hoga.. Pee le chup chap" I said.

She frowned "kitna zulm karti ho aap mujhpar mumma.." she said dramatically.

"Manvi... subah subah aapni nautanki mat shuru kiya kar" I replied.

She smiled broadly "Are.. ye bhi ek talent hai wo bhi na karun?" she said.

I sighed deeply, nothing can be done with her. "Acha sun.. school ke aane ke baad khana kha lena maine prepare karke rakh diya hai.." I informed.

She agreed. She stood up half finishing breakfast, picked up her bag and left.

"Hamesha jaldbazi mein rehti hai ye ladki.." I said to myself. I cleaned the chorus and left for office.

It has been 15 years since I have been leaving with Manvi. She was the world to me, her drama, her antics had become part of my life. I scold her and yet she commits the same mistake again. If I don't see her once I panic. Afterall I am a mother. I did not give her birth but I raised her single-handedly. Our relation is undefined.

I arrived at the office, I have been promoted to sales manager a few years back. I still don't like Virat coming closer to Manvi. I am possessive and protective of her. He is interfering too much between us.

I am tolerating him for Manvi. I can't deny the fact, Manvi had built a strong relationship with him. I don't want to hurt her feelings.

It has been 2 pm since I have been working. I thought "ghar pahuch gayi hogi.. Call kar leti hun"

I called on a landline but none picked up the call. I heard a noise from outside, I came out of my cabin and was shocked by seeing Manvi.

Virat's POV

I was inside my cabin, I heard a noise. The voice, which melted my heart and which brings a smile on my face. The door opened and she shouted "akdu uncle"

This word "Akdu uncle" I was so used to it. I turned and smiled at her. I stood up and kept the file on the table.

I looked at her expressions, it seemed she was angry. I asked "gussa ho?"

In reply, she shot me a deadly glare. I moved to her and asked "but kyun?"

"Jaise aapko pata hi nahi hai.." she said in anger tone.

"Are.. toofani aaj toofan saath leke aayi hai" I said teasingly.

She frowned and stamped her foot in anger... "Akdu uncle.."

"Are jabtak mujhe batayogi nahi toh mujhe pata kaise chalega?" I questioned.

"Last aap mujhse milne kab aaye they?" she asked looking at me kneely.

I looked at her thoughtfully. I hardly remember as nowadays I am really busy with work.

"Nahi yaad.. Main batati hun.. 15 din 8 ghante 25 minute 30 second pehle" she replied yelling at me.

I smiled at this. "Aur aap has kyun rahe ho? Maine koi joke nahi maara hai" she said.

"You know na.. Kaafi projects hai toh usme busy tha main.. Ab tum aa gayi na" I informed.

"What?? Kisne kaha aapko main aapse milne aayi hun?" she asked folding her arms around her chest.

She was faking her anger, I know she is here only to meet me. "Thik hai phir.." I intentionally moved and sat on my chair. I began to work on the laptop.

I knew she must be looking at me in anger. She approached me and closed the laptop, I glanced at her.

"Kya?"

"Main yahan aapse milne aayi hun aur aap hai ki mujhe ignore karke kaam kar rahe hai" she said angrily.

"Tumne hi toh kaha tha tum mujhse milne nahi aayi ho" I said meaningfully.

"Argh.. akdu uncle.. This is not fair aap mujhe aise sata nahi sakte ho" she said.

"Acha chal.. Shoplix mein sale hai shopping karwata hun tumhe kya khayal hai?" I asked.

"Khayal toh acha hai but aapka kaam?" she asked..

"Tumhare liye main free hun.." I replied with a smile.

Her face lighted hearing this. She hugged me tightly "haaye.. I love you.. You are the best.. Main abhi mumma se puchke aati hun"

She ran outside. I smiled..

Wait? She went to ask Ahana. No.. now she is definitely going to argue with me. It has been 10 years and Ahana is still arguing with me for Manvi. But, I had started liking this habit of her. I can understand her insecurity and possessiveness for Manvi.

Manvi's POV

I headed to mother's room. She was busy working, I called her "mumma"

But she ignored my call. I made face.. "Arey.. mumma" I shouted a bit louder.

She replied rudely "busy hun main manvi.. Tu ghar jaa.."

I was shocked by hearing her. "Are hua kya? Aap aise kyun baat kar rahe ho?" I asked.

"Tujhe kya padi hai meri? Tu jaa apne akdu uncle ke paas.." she replied.

I smiled.. Now I understand her reason for being angry with me. I moved to her and hugged her from behind.. "Aww.. aapko chodke kaha jaungi main?"

"Zyada buttering mat kar.. Kaha tha na maine.. Ghar jaana seedha yahan kyun aayi?" she asked scolding me.

I replied "15 din se zyada hue akdu uncle se milne aayi thi.. Aur ab wo mujhe shopping le jaa rahe hai.. Main jaun unke saath?" I asked her permission.

"Jaana hai toh jaa meri permission kyun chahiye tujhe.." she said.

I made her turn to myself.. "Mumma.. Aap meri mumma ho toh aapki ijazat ke bina main kahi jaa sakti hun kya?" I asked.

"Aur maine kitni baar bola hai.. Zyada mat ghuma kar virat ke saath.. Sunti kyu nhi hai tu?" she asked frowning.

"Aur main kabse kah rahi hun aap dono dost banjao aap kyun nahi sunte ho meri" I fired back.

"Acha ab mujhse sawal karegi uske liye?" she asked.

"Are.. main toh aise hi kah rahi hun.. Okay fine.. Nahi jaati main ghar jaa rahi hun" I said dejectedly.

I picked up my bag, I made a sad face. "Aapko toh meri feelings ki kadar hi nahi hai.." I said.

I was about to move out but stopped with her voice..

"Ab itna kah raha hai wo toh chali jaa.. Aur haan jaldi wapas aa jaana samjhi.." she said.

I smiled.. And asked "Sachi jau?"

"Haan baba.. Jaa.." she replied.

I hugged her tightly and kissed her cheek.. "Love you... jaldi wapas aaungi."

I ran out of the room. I know my mother well, she can't see me sad. I left with Virat to the mall. There, I saw someone a smile appeared on my face.
