Ruhana and Vineet looked at the person with much surprise. He came and took their blessings by touching their feet.

Vineet hugged him "Aarav..."

"Kaha they aap papa? Ek mahine se aapko dhundh raha hun main" he complained.

He looked towards Ruhana and said "janti ho ek mahine se pagalo ki tarah yahan aa raha hun iss umeed mein kabhi na kabhi toh aap ghar aaoge, roj phone karta hun koi nhi uthata tha kaha they aap dono aur chachaji bhi nhi they yahan jinse main aap dono ke baare puch sakun, kitni fikar ho rahi thi aap dono ki. Aise bina kuch bataye kaha they aap?" he was questioning.

Ruhana and Vineet looked at each other.

Aarav said "bolyie na aap dono ne mujhe bataya bhi nhi kuch"

Vineet smiled lightly "aate hi itne saare sawal kar rahe ho" he said.

"Toh aur kya karun chalyie chodiye yeh sab abhi aap dono mere saath aa rahe hai" he said with a smile on his face

Vineet questioned "kaha?"

"Ek ghar hai papa mahino se aapke ke intezar mein waha" Aarav said.

"Nahi Aarav hamara ghar yahi hai aur koi nhi" Ruhana said as she recalled the worst 6 months.

Aarav asked "kya kah rahi ho aap maa?"

Vineet said "sahi toh kah rahi hai.. Tumhara ghar toh US mein hai na"

Aarav looked at him and said "tha! Lekin ab yahan hai maine yaha transfer liya hai aap dono ke liye please chalyie na koi aur bhi hai jo aap dono ka mahino se intezar kar raha hai"

"Aarav beta abhi toh hum iss ghar mein aaye hai, itne mahino se band pada tha ghar, aur ye ghar hum kaise chod sakte hai? Itne saalo se iss ghar mein rahe hai" Ruhana said.

"Toh aap dono mere saath mere ghar nhi chaloge?" he questioned.

"Aisi baat nhi hai Aarav" she said.

"Thik hai main aap dono ko force nhi karunga, main Manvi ko leke yahi aa jaunga rehna toh mujhe aap dono ke saath hi hai" Aarav said.

"Aarav apna ghar tum aise kaise chod sakte ho? Tumne abhi liya hoga na?" Vineet questioned.

Aarav smiled "haan liya tha lekin wo ghar tab ghar hoga jab aap dono waha aaoge filhal main aur Manvi yahan aa rahe hai main usko leke aata hun" he replied and moved out of the house without listening to them further.

Vineet looked towards Ruhana and said "Aarav achanak se aa jayega socha nhi tha Ruhana"

"Haan Vineet filhal toh uske sawal humne taal diye lekin phir puchega wo humse kaha they hum itne din toh kya jawab denge usko?" Ruhana asked.

"Mujhe nhi pata Ruhana, ek yeh hai jo hamare liye apna ghar chodne ko tayar hai aur ek wo doh saput hai jinhe maa baap ka matlab nahi malum hai" Vineet said.

"Wo sab toh thik hai Vineet, par abhi Aarav aur Manvi ghar aa rahe hai intezam karna hoga na" Ruhana said.

"Ho jayega Ruhana tum fikar mat karo, Anoop thank you tumne Aarav ko kuch nahi bataya" Vineet said while looking at him.

"Mujhmein himmat bhi nhi thi, ab tum hi uske sawalo ke jawab dena jante ho Aarav pichle ek mahine se roj yahan aa raha hai tumhe puchne, infact mere ghar bhi bahut baar aa chuka hai ghanto bahar baitha rehta tha tum dono ke intezar mein. Wo tumhare dusron beta jaisa nahi hai" Anoop said.

"Janta hun yaar.. Ache se jaanta hun" Vineet said. After sometime Anoop left.

Aarav's home

Aarav reached home, Manvi opened the door. He hugged her and turned her around in happiness.

"Are are.. Kya hua? Aajse pehle itna khush tumhe nhi dekha maine" she said.

"Aaj sab mil gaya, maa papa ghar wapas aa gaye chalo humhe bhi wahi jaana hai" he said with a smile playing on his lips.

"Wo dono yahan nhi aayenge?" she asked.

"Maine tumse kaha tha na maa papa ka ghar hi mera ghar hoga, abhi kuch din hum waha rahenge phir main maa papa ko yahan le aunga" Aarav said.

Manvi smiled "thik hai wo nahi aayenge toh hum chale jayenge ek hi baat hai chalo"

Delhi

"Hadh hai yaar.. Itna time ho gaya hai aur maa papa ka kuch aata pata hi nhi hai laparwahi ki hadh hoti hai" Deep said.

"Exactly Deep, unhe toh parwah hi nhi hai hamari pareshan ho rahe hai hum unke liye yahan" Mahesh said.

"Mahesh bhai, shayad Karan Uncle ko pata hoga maa papa kaha jaa sakte hai chalo waha puchke aate hai" Deep replied.

"Hmm.. chalo"

They came to Karan's Cafe to enquire about Vineet and Ruhana. Karan smiled lightly "kya jaane aaye ho tum? Ye ki tumhare maa baap zinda hai ki marr gaye?"

Deep shouted "Karan bhai.."

"Mujhe bhai mat bulao Deep, jiske saath tumhara khoon ka rishta tha toh usey toh khoon ke aansu rulaya hai tum dono ne yahan chipke rote they wo kuch chupa nhi hai mujhse" Karan said.

"Deep, tumne toh apne maa baap ko sabse bada dard diya hai paap kiya hai tum dono ke unhe alag karne ka bhagwan tumhe maaf karde lekin hum nhi karenge" Nandini said.

Mahesh said "Dekhiye aap.."

Karan said "kuch nhi sunna hai mujhe.. Kyun batau tum dono ko main kaha hai wo? Taaki phirse tum dono unhe alag kardo phirse 6 mahine ka gam de do unhe nahi bataunga main samjhe tum dono please chale jao yahan se" he requested.

Deep and Mahesh left the place.

Karan looked towards Nandini and said "agar aulad aisi hoti hai na Nandini toh bhagwan ka laakh laakh shukar hai humhe aulad nhi hai" his eyes were filled with tears.

Nandini consoled him..

"Waise wo dono gaye kaha honge?" Nandini asked.

Karan thought and said "shayad apne purane ghar gaye ho"

Mumbai

Aarav and Manvi arrived home, they were about to step inside but Ruhana stopped them.

"Aarav aise andar nahi aate hai" she said. They looked at her in confusion.

"Pehli baar ghar aa rahi hai toh grah pravesh karna hoga na" Ruhana said with a smile.

Aarav smiled, they entered inside after the grah pravesh ritual. They took their blessings.

"Jante ho aap dono ek mahine kitna pareshan kiya hai isne mujhe din raat aap dono ko dhundhne mein laga rehta tha ek do baar toh khana bhi nhi khata tha" Manvi complained.

Aarav looked at her and said "ye kya? Maa aap iski mat suno"

Vineet smiled "acha toh wo jhooth kahegi?" he asked.

"Nahi.. papa. Main wo chodiye na ye sab baatein abhi dinner banega" he tried to divert the topic.

"Haan main banati hun" Ruhana said.

"Are aap kyun banaogi maa? Main hun na aap aur papa toh bas aaram karo" Manvi replied.

"Lekin.." Ruhana tired to say but Aarav stopped her.

"Maa please, maine aapki baat maani na aa gaya idhar ab aap dono ko meri baat sunni padegi chaliye baithye" Aarav requested.

Manvi asked "Aarav kitchen?"

"Main tumhari madad karta hun" Aarav said and both moved towards the kitchen.

Manvi questioned "kya banau Aarav? Mujhe nahi pata na tumhare maa papa ko kya pasand hai aur pehli baar bana rahi hun unke liye kuch gadbad ho gayi toh?"

Aarav kept his hand on her shoulder "relax.. Relax main hun na I will help you out"

Manvi nodded, and together they prepared the food.

They brought the food to the dining table, Aarav called "maa papa dinner is ready"

Ruhana and Vineet came out of the room. Ruhana said "itna sab kyun banaya? Mujhe bula liya hota"

Manvi said "bahu ke hote hue saas kaam karegi acha thodi lagta hai"

Ruhana smiled hearing this, she recalled..

"Ek aur jane ka kaam badh gaya hai Mahesh.. Maid bhi bhaag gyi upar se mujhse nhi hoga yeh sab"

Vineet grabbed the side chair, Aarav said "papa ye aap kya kar rahe hai aap toh hamesha yahan baitha karte hai na?"

"Haan par ye toh head of the family ki hai" he said.

"Aapke alawa aur hai kaun head of the family? Chaliye baithiye yahan" Aarav said.

Vineet smiled and sat down, Aarav came to Ruhana and made her sit beside him "Aur maa aap papa ke ek dum barabar mein kyuki aap dono door raho mujhe pasand nhi hai"

Ruhana and Vineet looked at each other.

Ruhana thought "kya hoga jab isey inn 6 mahino ka sach pata chalega"

Manvi said "maa papa khaiye na"

"Tum dono bhi baitho" Vineet said.

"Pehle aap dono kha lijiye phir hum kha lenge" Aarav replied.

Ruhana eyed Aarav.. "hum hamesha sath mein khana khate hain na. Chalo baitho tum dono. " she said.

Aarav and Manvi sat down and Manvi served the food. They had their food with light chitchat. After dinner, Ruhana and Manvi winded up the chores together and talked casually.

Later at night, Ruhana and Vineet were inside the room.

Aarav knocked the door, "andar aa jao Aarav.." Vineet said.

He entered inside, he was looking at them for while.

"Kuch kehna chahte ho?" Ruhana asked.

"Puchna chahta hun main maa.. Kya aap dono itne mahino se mujhse jhooth kah rahe they ki aap dono thik hai?" he questioned. 

Ruhana and Vineet looked at each other while aarav was waiting for his answers.
