Ahana's POV

I prepared the food and served it on the dining table. I smiled and shouted "mannu.. Virat khana ready hai aa jao"

Both of them came from different directions, Manvi settled down silently.

Virat was looking at me, I asked "kya hua?"

"Apne pati se pucho" Manvi gave me an instant reply.

"Are.. aise kyun baat kar rahi hai tu? Batayegi hua kya hai?" I asked her.

"Inhone kaha tha ye mujhe mumbai leke jayenge Varun Dhawan se milwane.. Nahi leke gaye ab main baat nahi karungi inse jabtak ye mujhe leke nahi jaate" Manvi complained. She took her food inside the room.

I sighed... "ye ladki na"

"Ziddi hai tumhari tarah" Virat completed my sentence.

I gave him a look "jee nahi tumhare saath rahkar zyada ziddi ho gayi hai"

"Oh really? Zyada toh tumhare saath rahi hai na.. Toh tumhari galti hai apni beti ko nahi sudhara tumne" he argued.

"Acha ab meri beti ho gayi.. Kal toh bada bol rahe they I am legally father.." I argued.

Our argument went on for another 15 minutes, he said "fine then.. Le jaata hun use Mumbai.."

"Nahi koi zaroorat nahi hai bekar ki zidd puri karne ki" I replied.

We heard Manvi's voice "aap dono fir lad rahe ho.. Matlab main gussa hun kisiko padi hi nahi hai.. Huh" she stamped her foot in anger.

She sat down on the couch crossing her arms around her chest. I sighed.. "Shuru ho gayi iski nautanki"

Virat moved to her and sat beside her. He kept his hand on her shoulder but she jerked away and slides far from him.

"Acha toh tumhe mumbai jaana hai?" he asked.

She did not replied, just stare at the wall in front of her.

"Nahi jaana mujhe" she gave a rude reply.

"Main kya soch raha tha.. Kal main important kaam se Mumbai jaa raha hun 2 din ke liye socha tumhe bhi saath le chalu lekin tum nahi jaana chahti toh main Ahana ko le jaata hun" he said looking at her.

She turned to him and said in excitement "nahi nahi mumma nahi main jaungi mujhe Varun se milna hai"

"Par abhi toh tumne kaha tumhe nahi jaana hai" he teased her.

She frowned and made face "main jaungi"

He smiled "okay chalna.."

Manvi jumped on her toes "yaay.. I will go and pack" she ran upstairs.

I sighed.. Virat looked at me and I gave him a look.. "And tum mujhe kab batane waale they ye baat?" I asked.

"Tumhe ladne se fursat mile toh hi batau tumhe" he replied.

"Don't argue now.. Tum waha kaam mein busy rahoge aur ye akeli no ways.." I said strictly.

"Tumne nahi lagta wo kuch zyada hi badi ho gayi hai.. And tum bhi aa rahi ho saath.. We are going for mini honeymoon with our daughter" he said laughing at his own words.

"Seriously?? Honeymoon would bhi beti ke saath? Uske saath rahkar tum bhi paagal ho gaye ho" I gave him an unbelievable look

"I was just kidding.. Tum nhi aa rahi ho?" he asked.

"not at all.. Wo bhi nhi jaa rhi hai school nhi gayi hai kabse boards exams hai enough of her nonsense" I said angrily.

"but...."

"tum bhi kaam karke wapas aao got that" I ordered and left.

I came to Manvi's room, found her watching movie. I turned off the television. She looked at me and said "mumma itni achi movie chal rhi thi"

"Koi movie nahi.. Time dekho 11 baj rahe hai kal school jaana hai chalo go to sleep" I scolded her.

Virat entered inside.. "Ahana but.."

"No arguments.. Tum kal akele jaoge Mumbai samjhe ye school jayegi" I declared my decision.

I glanced at Manvi, who was having tears in her eyes. I asked "kya hua? Itna bhi nahi dantna maine jo tu rone lagi hai"

"Bahut din hue na.. Aaj aap dono ke beech so jau?" she asked with innocent eyes.

I eyed Virat, who shook his head. I moved to bed and sat on each side of the bed. Manvi smiled, she lay down in between us. She held over hand and attached it near her heart. Her eyes were saying everything, I wanted to capture this moment for forever.

"Kitni lucky hun main.. Jo aap dono mujhe mile.." she said.

I cleaned her eyes and kissed her forehead. She closed her eyes and soon fall asleep holding our hand.

I caressed her head, Virat hit my hand. I glared at him..

"Uth jayegi sone do" he whispered.

"Nahi uthegi.. Kumbhkaran hai.. Ab subah hi uthegi" I replied.

He smiled.. We lay down and slept hugging her, a happy family. It is a dream come true, I had a husband, a daughter, the perfect family. My parents also accepted Manvi.

The morning aroused, I opened my eyes and stood up. I could not move further due to my hand been held by Manvi. I sighed and slowly removed my hand without disturbing her sleep. I eyed at Virat who was sleeping in exact position of Manvi.

I shook my head.. "Dono ek jaise hai ziddi.." I smiled to myself.

I moved out of the room to freshen up. Later, Virat came in casual. I asked "mumbai nahi jaana hai tumhe?"

"Nope.. Maine toh manvi ke liye kaha tha wo hi nhi jaa rahi toh main office chala" he said.

"What the?? Seriously?" I gave an unbelievable look.

"Yes.. tum Manvi ko school bhejke aa jana.." he said and left.

I entered inside Manvi's room, she was sleeping covering her face with the blanket. I sat on the bed and said "mannu utho"

She did not respond, I pulled her "utho.. Mujhe phir office bhi jaana hai"

She wrapped her arms around my waist "nahi jaana.."

"Firse drama mat kar.. Chal khadi ho jaa chup chap" I scolded her.

She finally opened her eyes and sat up. She moved to the bathroom, I smiled as my daily routine was back and I enjoyed this.

I prepared breakfast for her, she came out after 15 minutes and sat on the dining table. I served her.

She glanced at it and made faces.. "Mumma.. You know na how much I hate this" she complained.

"But this is healthy for you.. Chup chap kha zyada natak nahi chahiye tera mujhe" I said scolding her.

She sighed and eat with making face. I smiled at her nautanki.

She was then tensed about something, I asked "kya hua?"

"Wo main kaafi time se school nahi gayi na.. Toh bas isliye thodi nervous hun" she replied.

I sighed.. "Kyun nahi gayi?" I asked.

"Aap hote nahi they time se uthane ko.. And nilima aunty bhejti thi par main apne purane ghar jaati thi because I missed you... mann nhi lagta tha kahi" she replied with teary eyes.

"Idiot.. Akeli sadak pe ghum rahi thi? Kuch ho jaata toh? Pata hai na yahan ka mahol kaisa hai?" I scolded her badly.

"Offo mumma.. Relax.. I am very brave girl kuch nahi hoga mujhe" she replied.

"Ab samajh aaya mumma kyun mujhe itna bolti thi.. Ab seedha school jaana and wapas aana samjhi?" I ordered..

She nodded and left taking her bag. I cleaned the chores and moved out of the house. My phone buzzed, I read the message it was from Virat.

"Take the car... meri wife auto mein aaye mujhe acha nahi lagega.."

I smile, sometimes no most of the time we argue but that is our love. We are never going to change. I sat inside the car and driver took me to the office.

I arrived at the office, I headed to my cabin and began working. Later in the evening, I came out of the cabin.

I glanced at Virat's cabin but he was not there, I moved downstairs and saw him waiting for me inside the car. I smiled and sat in. He started driving.

"Acha suno ahana.. I was thinking manvi aur tumhe shopping pe le jau.." he said.

"Koi zaroorat nahi hai.. Kapde bahut hai uske paas" I replied

"Are.. abhi toh umar hai uski ab nahi legi toh kab legi?" he asked.

"Please virat zyada bigado mat tum usko.. Har zid puri karoge na uski toh sunengi nahi kabhi hamari" I said.

"Wo samajhdar hai.. Kaafi time hua hai na.. Le chalte hai" he argued

But I argued with him and we ended up not talking to each other. Virat's phone buzzed, he was shocked "what??"

I asked "kya hua??"

"2 lakh ka payment hua hai mere credit card se" he said.

My eyes became wide hearing this, I asked "manvi ko tumne card diya?"

"Haan... kal manga tha usne. Toh de diya maine" he replied.

"Seriously virat.. How can you do this?? 2 lakh ki shopping ki usne.. Wo toh pitegi hi tum bhi nahi bachoge" I said glaring at him.
