Aditi's POV

I was not aware Manvi is in same orphanage, otherwise I would have not brought Virat and Ahana there.

"How can she give my gift to someone else dekha Virat kaise baat ki usne mujhse" Ahana said painfully.

"I know Ahana.. Mujhe toh ye sab pe yakeen nahi ho raha hai ye wahi Manvi hai" he said unbelievably.

That child was again playing with my daughter's feeling. Ahana is with us, but she can't move on till Manvi is here. I have to do something. Manvi is needed to be removed from Ahana's life forever with no hope of coming back.

I had sent Virat and Ahana for a day out so they can spend some time together and ahana can be away from Manvi's memory.

"Anoop.. Ye manvi aaj bhi meri bachi ko hurt kar rahi hai.. Are Ahana se usko zindagi di phir bhi aise bartaav koi ehsaan hi nahi hai uska" I said hatefully.

"Aditi.. Jaane do padso shaadi hai Ahana ki inmein dhyan do" he exclaimed.

I sighed.. "Jabtak Manvi yahan rahegi na kuch thik nahi hoga Ahana usse milne bahane orphanage jaati rahegi.. " I thought.

I dialed a number and informed something. Anoop asked "kya kar rahi ho tum aditi?"

I replied "jo hai apni beti ki bhale ke liye hi hai.. Main nahi chahti wo anath ladki meri beti ki zindagi mein aur muskil laaye aur aapko aapki beti ka vasta aap kuch nahi kahenge"

And I walked away from there. I came to the orphanaged and saw Manvi. I shouted at her.. "Chahti kya ho tum haan?"

She looked at me.. "Nani.."

"Shut up.. Tumhe yaad karke roti hai meri beti.. Are peecha kyun nahi chod deti ho uska.." I said angrily.

"Ehsaan maano tumhe uthake ghar laayi wo warna pata nahi zinda hoti bhi ya nahi tum.." I confronted her.

"Haath jodti hun tumhare aage.. Meri Ahana ko mere paas rehenedo.. Aise baar baar hurt karna band karo usko Shaadi ho rahi hai khushi mat cheeno" I shouted and left.

Manvi's POV

Tears slipped down from my eyes hearing Aditi. Ahana still missed me.

I was called by orphanage owner, I went to her office. I saw two people sitting there.

Mrs. Sharma the owner said "Manvi.. Ye hai Mr. and Mrs. Sehgal ye log America mein rehte hai aur ek bachi adopt karna chahte hai"

I was shocked hearing this, do they want to adopt me? I looked at Mrs. Sharma keenly.

"Aur tumse better koi ho nahi sakta.. Waha pe tumhe education milega tum khush rahogi" she said.

I was taken back hearing this. Mrs. Sehgal stood up and came to me. She caressed my cheek "bachi toh bahut hi pyari hai.. Mam aap adoption papers ready kijiye.. Beta chalogi na hamare saath?" she asked.

If I say yes, I will be away from Ahana forever. Then, I remembered Aditi's words. Till I am in delhi, Ahana won't be happy and move on. It is better if I move away from here forever. Everyone will be at peace.

I smiled.. "Jee aunty.. Mam I am ready.." I said.

I moved out and Nilima followed me. Tears slipped down from my eyes. "Manvi ye kya kah rahi ho tum?? Iska matlab jaanti ho?"

I turned to her and smiled "jaanti hun aunty.. Par yahi sahi hai.. Nani mujhe kabhi nahi apnayengi.. Mere liye jo nafrat hai unke dil mein wo kabhi kum nhi hogi.. Aur main yahan se jaungi tabhi mumma mujhe bhool payengi na.."

"Nahi.. ye galat hai main abhi Ahana ko sab bata dungi" she said in determine tone.

I held her "no please... 2 din baad shaadi hai aap kuch nahi karoge aisa please.." I said in pleading tone.

I cried and hugged her tightly. The next day, Mr. and Mrs. Sehgal signed the adoption papers.

"padso hum america ke liye nikal rahe hai.. Tum apna saman pack karke rakhna tumhe pick up karne aayenge hum" Mrs. Sehgal informed.

I nodded with a smile. They left, tomorrow? It is Virat and Ahana's wedding. I want to attend the wedding, I want to see all the rituals. I can't go without seeing their wedding.

I went to my room and packed my things. I looked at the photo frame and attached it to my heart.. "Ab aapse hamesha ke liye door jaa rahi hun mumma.."

I laid down on the bed and hugged the picture. I closed my eyes and cried silently.

Ahana's POV

I was standing at the window and staring at the sky. Tomorrow is my wedding, 15 years back when I took decision to raise Manvi I never unexpected this day would come in my life. My parents are happy as it was their dream to get me married.

It will be a new beginning for me. I recalled a memory.

I was with Manvi at the shopping mall. Suddenly she shouted "mumma"

I glanced at her and asked "kya hua?"

"Look...this dress is awesome" she pointed towards the wedding dress.

I glared at her.. "Ye wedding dress hai.."

"Are toh kya hua? It's beautiful.. Chalo na aisa ek lehenga dilao mujhe" she said like a stubborn kid.

I hit her head playfully "paagal.. Jab teri shaadi hogi tab lenge.."

She frowned.. "Uske liye toh bahut time hai.. Ek kaam karo aap shaadi karlo"

I gave her a look "what?? Have you lost it?" I asked.

She smiled "Are.. burayi hi kya hai? Waise aap na akdu uncle se shaadi karo.... He can be a perfect guy for you" she said.

I said "no ways.. Uss akdu se kabhi shaadi nahi karun main.. Aur shaadi hi kyun karun main? Tu aur main kaafi nahi hai kya ek dusre ke liye"

She smiled and hugged me from behind "haan woh toh hai.. But akdu uncle bhi bure nahi hai" she said teasingly.

I glared at her "phir shuru ho gaya tumhara akdu uncle puran.."

"Jabtak aap maante nahi wo ache hai mera chalega.." she said laughing..

I came out trance of my thoughts. She uses to tease me for Virat. Today, she would have been more elated for this. Tears slipped down from my eyes. I have nothing, then past memories. 

To be continued.
