Ahana's POV

It was an important meeting today, I looked at Virat. His body was warm, he was having a high fever. I called up the doctor immediately.

After an hour, Virat opened his eyes.. "Ahana.. Office.." he said.

I glared at him "shut up Virat.. You are having fever aaj nahi jaoge tum office"

"Aaj bahut important meeting hai.. Manvi nahi sambhal paayegi akele" he said in concern.

"Main chali jaungi uske saath you just take rest" I ordered.

I moved out of the room, Manvi and Aanya were having breakfast. Manvi asked "papa kaha hai mumma? Bahut important meeting hai aaj"

"Papa nahi aayenge mannu unko fever hai.. Main chalungi tumhare saath" I said.

Manvi nodded with a smile, Aanya stood up and said "Aanya papa ko dekhke aati hai.." she ran upstairs.

"Acha hua aap aa rahe ho mere saath... main toh bahut nervous thi" Manvi said.

Ahana smiled..

Just then a loud sound was heard, I looked up and Aanya had fallen down while climbing the stairs. I rushed to her, the girl cried "Aah.. aanu ko laga.." she said.

I scolded her "kisne kaha tha bhaagne ko yahan pe.."

I picked her up and took her to the room, Manvi got the first aid kit and I did her dressing. Firstly Virat and now Aanya. How can I leave them and go with Manvi? But if I don't go Manvi will feel left out and alone.

I looked at Manvi, she said "mumma mujhse zyada papa aur aanya ko aapki zaroorat hai.. I will manage"

I was surprised to hear her, I cupped her face.. "Sorry baby.. Par..."

"Are relax mumma.. Papa ko bhi bukhar hai.. Aanya ko bhi lag gayi.. Aap dono ka dhyan rakho" she said with a smile on her face.

"All the best.. And I know you will rock it" I said giving her confidence.

She nodded and left for office.

Manvi's POV

I drove towards office, for the first time I was going alone. Virat has been always there to guide me and be with me but today I am going to handle all alone. Staff respects me but still I was nervous and anxious.

I reached the office in half an hour, I entered inside and wished them "Good morning.."

But none replied, I sighed and moved into my cabin. Deepthi maasi who was now head of a department entered inside the cabin.

"Manvi.. Wo...ye file dekhlo.."

"Maasi.. Main dekhti hun abhi.." I said politely.

She left keeping the file. I stepped out and talked with some employees.

"Oo.. hum Virat sir ke liye kaam karte hai samjhi tum jaisi adopted ladki ke orders nahi manenge hum.."

I recalled Virat's word "ek baat yaad rakhna Manvi.. Business mein relation nahi aane chahiye you have to be professional koi tumse umar mein bada ho ya chota.. But position is something which matters.. Office mein tum boss ho and you have all the rights no one else.. Koi tumhari personal life pe sawal uthaye.. Give them answer.."

I said with confidence "call me mam.. Virat Singhanyia is chairman, Ahana singhaniya is BOD and I am managing director of this company and I guess I deserve some respect aur main adoptive hi sahi par Virat and Ahana ki beti hun.. Samjhe aap.. Kaam karne aate hai na toh kaam kijiye warna termination letter aapke cabin mein hoga"

Everyone looked at me shockingly, I looked at Deepthi.. "Am I right? Deepthi Sehgal?" I asked.

"Yes mam.." she said.

I smiled.. "Good.. jo conference ke liye aa rahe hai.. Meet in the conference room in 10 minutes" I said in the same way as Virat as these people don't know the language of politeness.

I moved to the conference room and took a deep breath, thanks to my father. I was able to fight with them. Within 5 minutes, everyone was inside the conference room and the clients also arrived.

I closed my eyes and began presentation.

The client said something to which I was left shocked.

At home

Virat's POV

I was walking to and fro into the hall. What had happened in the office today? I know people and my staff they give respect to her in front of me but behind my back they don't consider her as my child. I was so worried about her.

Ahana and aanya glanced me.. Ahana said "Virat.. Aise ghumne se tumhe pata nahi chalega office mein kya hua"

I stopped and looked at her.. "I know Ahana.. But aaj wo pehli baar akeli gayi hai.. Kaise sambhala hoga sab usne.. Conference bhi aur tumhe pata hai how people misbehave specially hamari beti ke saath"

"I know Virat.. Usko aane do..." she said.

Just then Aanya shouted "Di.. aa gayi"

I looked at the entrance door, Manvi entered in. Her face was dull, it seemed she had a bad day, I expected that.

She did not listen to my advice, sometimes we have to be cruel. I asked "kya hua office mein?"

She did not replied, she moved to the dining table and drank a glass of water.

I asked "mannu batao.."

She looked at me, she was standing silently. Ahana seemed to be worried now.. "Are bol na mannu.." she said.

Tears slipped down her eyes, she hugged me tightly wrapping her arms around my neck and keeping her head on my right shoulder. "Papa.. aapne sahi kaha tha kisine nahi maani meri baat and then you know.. Mujhe rudely bolna pada.. Bole toh akdu papa style.. And clients ne kaha.. Hamare saath collab karenge.." she said while sobbing.

I sighed, she scared me this was a proud moment. I rubbed her back.. "And you are crying?? Why?? Ye toh good news hai na.."

"Of Course she will cry Virat.. Tumhari jaise akdu ban jayegi meri beti.. No no.. kalse tum bhi office jaoge" Ahana said.

I parted the hugged and wiped Manvi's tears. "Nahi Ahana... ab Manvi akele sab sambhal sakti hai.. Mujhe office jaane ki zaroorat nahi hai on regular basis" I said as a proud father.

"But I will be always there when you need me.." I said.

Manvi smiled.. "Thank you papa.. Ab aapka mumma aur aanya ka khayal main rakhungi.." she spoke.

Aanya interrupted "aanu ko kuch samajh nahi aaya.. Tyu Di ro rahi hai?" she asked innocently.

Manvi bends down her level.. "Aanu chalo bahar pani puri khake aate hai.." she said.

"Yes chalo.. Mumma papa bhi" she said while jumping.

I, Aanya and our parents we headed out for a small celebrations and family time. 

10 years later

Manvi's POV

Another 10 years passed, I took all the responsibility on myself. I entered into Aanya's room who had now grown up to be a 15 years old teenager. I looked at the mess of the room, I sighed and arranged the things properly.

I called "Aanya utho school jaana hai tumhe.."

but she did not move, I opened the curtains and sun rays fell on her eyes. She said "Di.. parda daalo.."

"Aanya school jaana hai aapko.. Chalo ready ho jao warna mujhe bhi late ho jayega office ke liye" I said strictly.

Aanya stood up removing the blanket and opened her eyes "kya Di. I hate this school.."

"Ab zyada natak mat karo.. Get ready quick," I said and moved out of the room.

I came downstairs, Virat was coming in after jogging. He sat on the dining table, I wiped his head with the towel.. "Good morning papa.."

"Good morning.. Aaj breakfast mein kya hai?" he asked.

"Jo hai healthy hai.." I replied.

He looked at the breakfast and ate it. I kept his medicine on the table "aap ye breakfast ke baad kha lena samjhe."

"Thik hai madam.. Kha lunga main" he said.

A smile crept on my lips hearing this.

He asked "Acha ye batao how is everything going in office?"

"Bahut acha chal raha hai papa.. Aur phir har mahine aap aake dekh lete ho na.. Toh mujhse roj ye sawal kyun puchte ho?" I asked.

"Because I care for you.. Bharosa nahi tumhara kab kya gadbad kardo.. " he said teasingly.

I gave him a look.. "Hello.. Peechle 10 years se main aapki company sambhal rahi hun.. Koi complaint mili hai kya aapko??" I asked frowning.

"Are relax.. Main toh bas mazak kar raha tha.. Akdu ban gayi tum toh.." he said.

I smiled.. "Beti hun aapki.."

Ahana came out of the room, she sat on the dining table. She asked "Aanya kaha hai?"

Just then Aanya came downstairs with her bag, she sat beside Ahana. We had breakfast together.

"Acha mumma aapki society club ka payment maine kar diya hai.. And aaj aapka doctor ke saath appointment hai regular check up 2 baje make sure aap jao okay?" I ordered her.

"Papa aap please le jaana inhe.." I said.

"Kyun? Main khudse jaa sakti hun" Ahana replied.

"Are main aa jaunga toh kuch ho jayega kya??" Virat asked.

"Bilkul hoga Virat.. Khudka dhyan toh rakha jaata nahi hai tumse.. Aur mera khyal rakhoge.. Huh" she said taunting him.

"Dekho tum mujhe mat bolo.. Orders de ne ki aadat gayi nahi abtak tumhari.." he argued.

"Aur tumhara akdupan bhi toh nahi gaya hai abtak.." Ahana further added.

"Maine kaha tha tumse ki aanya abhi choti hai mat leke aao bhi itna expensive phone but nahi tumhe toh bigadna hai bachi ko.." she scolded Virat.

"Are.. usne top kiya tha exams mein toh kuch toh dena banta tha na.. And she daughter of Virat Singhaniya.. Mamuli phone leke thodi ghumegi.." he said his point.

Aanya stood up and came to me.. "Di.. isse pehle aap aur main fas jaaye dono ke beech.. Chalo hum chalte hai.. Inn dono ka toh roj ka hai ye.."

I smiled and said "aanya this is their love.. Chalo"

I and Aanya left. Aanya asked "mujhe pick kaun karega??"

"Mumma ya papa aapko pick kar lenge Aanya.. And suno tum mumma aur papa ko mall mein kuch dila dena... ek surprise hai unke liye" I said.

"Kya surprise hai Di? Mujhe toh batao" she asked curiously.

"Nahi tu mumma papa ko bata degi" I replied.

"Pakka nahi bataungi.. Batao na di..." she requested.

I told her something, to which she was left surprised.. "Wow Di.. this is great news.."

"Shh.. kisiko nahi batana.." I said.

She nodded affirmatively.

Hey all.. Thanks for the love.
