Manvi's POV

The alarm buzzed, I woke up. I looked at the time, it was 7 am. I tried to wake up Aanya.. "Utho aanu.. School jaana hai"

She wrapped her arms around my waist "nahi di.. No school.."

I sighed and today I am realising, how my mother tackles with my antics and my tantrums. "Aanya bache please utho.. Aaj mera first day hai aur main late nahi hona chahti.. Specially jab boss khudke dad ho" I spoke.

She opened her eyes and rubbed them... "Aap na sone nahi dete.."

"School se lautne ke baad sona.." I said.

I picked her up and took her into the bathroom, I gave her a bath. Ahana entered the room, she said "Manvi Aanya ko main ready karti hun tum jaldi se ready ho jao"

I smiled "okay mumma"

I sent out aanya and took my own time getting ready. I came downstairs, everyone was at the breakfast table.

I settled, I was nervous as after ages I will be going to my father's office not as his friend or daughter but as an employee.

Aanya gave me orders just like Ahana "Di.. don't think.. Do work.. And papa ko paleshan nahi karna..."

I looked at her with open mouth. "Aanu..." I said.

She giggled.. "Aanu ne toh sach bola.. Haina mumma?" she asked.

Ahana smiled "yes my baby.."

I frowned.. "Papa dekho na mumma aur aanu ko.." I made faces.

"This is not right.. First day hai uska aise nahi baat karo meri beti se" he said taking my side.

"Papa.. aap Di ki maante ho Aanu aur mumma ki nahi.." Aanya complained.

"Haan toh aapki mumma bhi toh aanya ki baat hai bas.. Meri aur manvi ki nahi" Virat said.

Ahana replied.. "Kyuki tum aur manvi koi sahi baat nahi karte ho.. Main aur meri aanu samajhdar hai bas yahan"

"O madam... please.. Tum hamari aise insult nahi kar sakti ho" Virat argued.

And their argument started again. Aanya gave me a look, I signalled her. She quietly stood up and I also.

She held my hand and we walked out of the house before we get trapped in their argument.

Aanya asked "Di.. mumma papa argue kyun karte hai?"

"Kyuki wo dono ek dusre se love krte hai" I replied.

"Acha.. lekin hum nahi karte argue..." she said innocently..

"Because hum good girls hai.." I said making her sit inside the car. I came to steering side and sat in. I doze off and dropped Aanya to school.

Then, I headed towards Virat's office. I received a call and it was from ahana.. "Mannu.. Chod diya aanya ko school??" she asked

"Haan mumma.. Nani pick kar lengi usko.. Aur main office pahuch rahi hun bas" I replied.

"Thik hai.. Main aur Virat pahuch gaye hai.." she said.

I smiled and asked "argument khatam kaise hua?"

"Tumhare papa ko hi haarna pada......" she said.

"As usual.." I said sarcastically.

The call ended.. Within 20 minutes, I arrived at the building. I parked the car and headed into the lift. I took a deep sigh and pressed the button. The lift opened on 2nd floor in a few seconds. I stepped out and looked around.

I walked further, nothing had changed in the office except interior design and a few new faces. As I was moving, I recalled the memories and smiled to myself. I looked at the conference room when first time I meet Virat in the office. I then headed to his cabin, it was still the same.

"Akdu uncle.. Varun.."

"Nahi khelna hai bada computer"

"Aapse baat nahi karni.."

These memories are forever, someone touched my shoulder. I turned and it was Virat.. "Papa.." I said

"Toh ready?" he asked.

I nodded in yes..

He asked me to follow him and I did, he brought me to the hall where the whole staff had gathered.

Virat introduced "she is Manvi Geonka Singhaniya.. Our daughter jo aajse iss company ki bhaag daud sambhalegi aur I believe jaise aap sab mere saath milke kaam karte aaye hai ab iske saath bhi karenge"

"But sir.. How can she?? Inke paas toh koi experience kuch bhi nahi hai.." one of them said.

Virat was about to say, I interrupted "papa.. Can I say something??"

He nodded.. I said "mere paas koi experience nahi hai lekin aap sabne bhi shuruwat bina experience se ki thi.. And aap sab experienced hai you all can guide me.."

Everyone looked at me and smiled, it seemed they were convinced. I received an overwhelming welcome from everyone.

Ahana, Virat were always there to guide me. They were visiting the office on a regular basis, till I understand the company requirements and gain some work experience and also built a strong employees trust.

Ahana's POV

It has been 6 months since Manvi was going to office and she had been working hard along with us. I decided to stay at home today, and give all my attention Aanya because now my fear of losing Manvi was no more. She had grown matured, and tackles with issues.

Aanya was running around the house and I was behind her. "Aanya.. Dhudh peelo.." I said.

She denied "nahi peena.. Aanya ko doodh.."

"Aanu please tu bhi mannu ki tarah bigad gayi hai" I said irritatedly.

Aanya stopped and stood crossing her arms around her chest "Di.. ke jaise aanu nahi bigli.. Aanu good girl hai" she said frowning.

I smiled at her antics, I forwarded the milk "pee lo phir no drama"

She held the glass and drank the milk. I smiled..

Just then Manvi and Virat entered the house. They had been arguing over something.

"Papa please.. Main kah rahi hun na trust me it will work" she said.

"No mannu.. It won't tumse zyada experience hai mujhe" he argued.

"Papa.. this is unfair.. Let me handle this in my way" she said.

"No means no.." he said straightforwardly.

Manvi stamped her foot in anger and ran upstairs to her room.

I glanced at Virat and asked "ab tum usse bhi ladne lage ho?"

"Main kaha lada.. Wahi argue karke gayi mujhse.. Sunti hi nahi hai bilkul bhi" he complained.

I smirked and said "tumhari beti hai tumpe hi gayi hai sunti kaha hai?"

He gave me a look.. "Haan haan aanu toh tumhari sunti hai na.." he said.

Aanya interrupted "aanu sunti hai.. Aanu is a good girl" she said innocently.

I smiled.. "Dekha.."

"Uff.. chalo aanu tumhari di ko manate hai" Virat said holding Aanya's hand.

They headed upstairs, aanya asked "papa di tyu gussa hai??"

"Beta aapki di nahi baat maanti papa ki.." he said.

"Haww.. aanu di ko daantegi" she said cutely.

Virat's POV

I and Aanya entered inside Manvi's room. She was sitting down on the bed with a laptop and do some work. I smiled seeing her, she pressing the keys of keyboard really hard pouring out her anger on it.

I said.. "Laptop pe gussa nahi nikalte.."

She eyed me and then again looked at the laptop. Aanya climbed on the bed and sat beside her.. "Di papa se baat kalo.." she said.

She gave a polite reply to aanya.. "Aanu papa mannu ki baat nahi maante isliye main unse baat nahi karungi"

"Pal papa bade hai toh aap unki baat maano" she said in ordering tone just like Ahana.

"Nahi main nahi maanungi... tum mumma ki tarah order mat do mujhe" Manvi said frowning.

"Aanu phir katti ho jayegi aapse.." she said.

"Aanu.." Manvi took her name but she turned to the other side.

"Papa is this not fair.." Manvi said looking at me.

"Mannu maine jo kaha usko samjho tum.. Tumhari ek choti se galti bhari pad sakti hai hamare upar.. I know your solution is good to the problem but issmei kaam nahi karega.." I explained.

She sighed deeply "okay fine.. Maanli aapki baat" she said.

I smiled, Aanya hugged Manvi wrapping her arms around her neck.. "Good Di.." 

To be continued.
