Ahana's POV

I sat down on the floor, in front of Manvi's room door. I looked at it and tried to convince her.. "Mannu please darwaza khol bache.. Main mumma hun tumhari.." but in return I just heard her loud cries.

I know, she is in a state of shock hearing the truth, she is broken but I am her mother. We share an unbreakable bond past 15 years. I did not gave her birth but I have raised her with love more than mine own child. I heard a noise, I looked in front Virat was there. He kept the things on the table.

I stood up and ran to him, I hugged him tightly and cried "Virat.. Sach pata chal gaya usko dekho darwaza nahi khol rahi hai.. Tumhari baat maanti hai na.. Do something please.."

"Ahana.. I am sorry.. Mall mein tumhari maa aur koi relative mila tha.. And manvi ko sach pata chal gaya.." he replied.

I looked up at him with teary eyes.. "Wo mujhe chodke chali jayegi virat.. No.. I can't live without her.." I said with fear.

"Wo nahi jayegi Ahana.. Hum use kahi nahi jaane denge tumhare siwa uska hai kaun haan?" he assured me.

"Jaanti hun main Virat.. Wo mere liye sab kuch hai.. Aur main uske liye par usne kaise baat ki aaj mujhse.." I could not hold my tears, I was afraid of losing her.

"Abhi naraz hai.. Bachi hai kuch din mein samajh jayegi Ahana.. Hum use samjhayenge please khudko sambhalo" he was being my support. I just kept my head on his shoulder and cried.

"Please ye darwaza khulwao main aise nahi sun sakti uski rone ki awaaz.." I requested.

He took me and made me sit on the couch. He kneeled down in front of me "Ahana.. Usko ye sach dusron se pata chala hai isliye wo zyada takleef mein hai.. Kuch waqt do use.. Tum toh samajhdar ho na.. Toh ab kyun nahi samajh rahi ho?" he asked.

I replied "samajh rahi hun Virat main.. Par tum nhi samajh rahe ho mujhe aadat hai uski.. Jab tak wo mujhe satati nahi din mein mujhe chenn nahi aata.. Ek baar use dant na laga lun mera din khatam nhi hota Virat.."

He smiled sarcastically hearing me. I glared at him with teary eyes.

"Jab tum aur manvi ek jaise ho toh kaise alag ho sakte ho? Haan?" he spoke.

"Wo mujhe mujhse yahi kehti hai.. Jabtak mumma ki daant nahi sunti mera din khtam nahi hota.. Unko satati nahi.. Chenn nhi padta.. Toh kaise tum dono maa beti nahi ho?" he asked.

I was wrong about him, he was not here to snatch my daughter from me. He is a good person, Manvi was right her "akdu uncle is really special.''

"Kal main aata hun.. Take care" he said and stood up. He left the house. I watched him go, I then glanced at Manvi's door which was still locked.

Manvi's POV

I was lying down on bed and sobbing. I was hating myself, why god sent me to the world when my parents had to abandon me on the road. I glanced at the photo frame, which was me and Ahana.

"Haan main tumhe sadak se uthake laayi thi"

"Maa papa ne nahi apnaya tumhe toh ghar chod diya maine"

All words were still echoing in my ears. I stood up and threw away the things in anger "noo..." I shouted out loud.

Ahana's POV

Another hour passed and Manvi had not opened the door. I panicked, what if she harmed herself in anger? I sighed, in all this I forgot about the room key. I quickly took the key and opened the door.

The room was at mess, her favourite things were lying on the floor broken. The bedsheet, everything was scattered. I found her sleeping, with fresh tears on her cheeks. I sat down on the bed and wiped them.

"Itna gussa? Wo bhi mujhse? Janti hun main zyada der mujhse naraz nahi rah sakti hai tu.. tum meri beti ho hamesha rahogi.. Ye sach koi nahi badal sakta.. Tum bhi nahi samjhi.." I spoke..

I kissed her forehead and left the room. I came to my room, but could not sleep. Her behaviour and words were still roaming in my mind. I won't let this truth to have any change in our relationship at any cost.

The next morning, I hardly slept. I got freshens up and got ready. I moved out and headed to Manvi's room to wake her up. I was shocked, not finding her on the bed. I heard the shower sound and she was inside the bathroom. For the first time in life, she had woken up by herself and went to take shower.

The room was neat and clean, I sighed deeply and moved out. I prepared breakfast and then kept it on a table.

Manvi came out of the room along with her school bag. I said "Mannu breakfast karle chal.."

Her reply was cold "bus aane waali hai.. School mein kha lungi main.." she left the house without even looking at me.

I was hurt with her behaviour. She never denied me, but today she did not even faced me.

My phone buzzed, I picked it up and it was Virat calling. I slide the green and attached it with my ear "haan Virat.."

"Manvi se baat hui?" he asked me

"Nahi.. wo toh bina nasta kare chali gayi seedhe muh baat tak nahi ki mujhse.. Infact aaj khudse jaag gayi wo Virat.." I shared.

"Ahana.. Calm down.. Tum ghar pe hi raho dupahar ko aayegi toh baat karna usse.. I will come in the evening" he said.

I nodded and ended the call. I decided to cook her favourite food today.

Manvi's POV

I was attending the classes, but my mind was somewhere else. I was lost in deep thoughts. The school ended at 1 pm, I picked up my things and walked out of the school. I did not take the school van or any auto. I needed some time for myself.

I just kept on walking on the road. I reached a society and I saw aditi outside. I walked to her and said "nani.."

She looked towards me and shouted "kya kar rahi ho tum yahan? Himmat kaise hui mere ghar ke bahar aane ki tumhari?"

I shivered with her voice "nani.. Main.."

"Shut up.. Tum meri kuch nahi lagti ho samjhi tum.. Please chali jao tamasha mat khada karo yahan" Aditi said angrily and went inside closing the door in my face.

I walked, few ladies were staring at me and they started taunted.

"Haan ye wahi hai na.. Ahana ne apne maa baap ki ijzat tak ka khayal nhi kiya jiske liye."

"Pata nahi kaun hai.. Kya pata kisika ganda khoon ho.. Isliye chod diya hoga iski maa ne ise sadak pe.."

"Ahana ne toh apni zindagi barbaad karli.."

Tears slipped down from my eyes and I ran away from there. All these now pinches me like a needle in my heart. The bitter words raise question on my identity. And I am blamed for Ahana's ruining life. I can't tolerate this anymore. I arrived at home, I was surprised seeing Ahana at home.

She did not go to office today. She questioned "kaha thi tu? Kabse phone kar rahi hun uthaya kyun nahi??"

I removed my bag and kept it inside my room. I changed my clothes and came out, I turned on the television and started shuffling channels. Ahana came and sat beside me.

She snatched the remote from my hand and asked in a bit loud tone "kuch pucha hai maine.. Jawab de mujhe.."

I looked at her and said "kyu batau aapko? Lagti kya ho aap meri?"

"Maa hun tumhari.. Haq hai mujhe jaanne ka kaha thi tum.." she replied.

I sighed deeply.. "Nahi ho aap meri mumma.." I gave a tough reply.

"Shut up Manvi.. Warna kheech ke lagaungi ek.. Hamara rishta ek sach se badal nahi sakta hai samjhi tum.. Main tumhari maa hun aur tum meri beti ye sach hai.. Ise toh bhagwan bhi nahi badal sakte hai..." she said in a calm tone while cupping my face. Her eyes were filled with tears, she was trying not to break down.

I jerked her hand away... "mujhe nahi rehna hai aapke saath..." I replied and went away leaving her shocked.
