Aarav looked at her shockingly. Ruhana was standing in front of him, her eyes were teary and she was angry.

"Sach kaha tumne Aarav. Koi family nahi hai tumhari. Prove kar diya tumne aaj ki tum Vineet Raichand ke bete nahi ho sakte. " she said angrily.

Aarav and Manvi were shocked hearing her. Manvi looked at her..."maa aap ye kya bol rahi hain? " she asked.

"Wahi jo sach hai Manvi. Mere Baaki dono beton ki tarah isne bhi apne kayaas laga liye ki hum usse pyar nahi karte. Sachin aur mahesh ki tarah Aarav ne bhi galat hi soch liya hamare baare mein. Humse pucha ki Humne aisa kyun kiya? " she said,her voice turning teary.

Aarav turned to the other side. Ruhana smiled lightly..

"Bhagwan se bhi galtiyan ho jati hain Aarav. Tere bhagwan se bhi yeh galti ho gayi. Yeh galti ki usne socha tu kuch din aaram se guzaar le. Jo tune haasil kiya hai wo apni mehnat se kiya hai Aarav. Humne yahi socha ki is sab mein tujhe takleef na ho. "she said.

"Tujhse jhooth bolna hi mushkil hai hamare liye lekin hum ye nahi chahte they ki tujhe aur Manvi ko takleef na ho. Beton ka pyar paana chahte they hum lekin khud ka pyar hi kho baithe. Tu wahan sukoon se rahe bas itna hi chaha tha Humne. " she said tearily.

"Hum nahi chahte they ki hamari wajah se tujhe takleef ho. Isliye kuch nahi kaha tujhse. Jitni fikar aur pyar teri aankhon Mein maine dekha, wo apne beton ki aankhon Mein kabhi nahi dekha Aarav. " she said.

"Agar aapko meri fikar hoti toh aap yeh sab mujhe batate. " he spoke finally.

"Hum toh bas tujhe khush dekhna chahte they. Takleef nahi dena chahte they tujhe. Socha tha ki jab lautenge toh tere sath aaram se din guzarenge. Jo dukh sahe wo kam ho jayenge. Lekin tune toh apne maa Baap ko samjha hi nahi. " she said tearily.

Aarav looked at her. His eyes were teary and so were Ruhana's. He realised that he over-reacted and didn't listen to them. He didn't hear to their aspect of the matter.

"Jinse izzat aur pyar chaha tha wo toh kabhi mila hi nahi Aarav. Aur tune hame bhagwan bana diya. Tune yeh saabit kiya ki zaruri nahi rishtey khoon ke ho. Maine tujhe apni kokh se janam nahi diya lekin tu toh usse bhi badhkar hai mere liye. Hamara rishta dil ka hai Aarav. " she said.

"jahan pyar hota hai, wahi ghar Ghar hota hai Aarav, varna Sirf makaan. Tere aane se ye makaan fir ghar ban gaya hai. " Vineet said, who entered in.

Ruhana looked at Manvi.. "Ab toh meri bahu bhi aa gayi hai. Tum dono se hame wo mila jo Humne socha nahi tha. Hum toh bas tum dono ke sath khushi khushi rehna chahte they. Jo dukh hume mila, usey bhul jana chahte they. Fir bhi Agar tujhe lagta hai yeh sab galat tha, teri parwah karna galat tha, toh beshak tu ja sakta hai. Kyunki tune Sirf apna anuman lagaya, sach nahi Jaana. " she said.

Aarav was looking at her. She turned to go...

"Vineet chalo, ab toh Aarav bhi nahi samajh raha. " she said turned to move out.

She moved but stopped and turned back, she found Aarav holding her Dupatta. He gets on knees and cries "sorry Maa... bhool gaya tha ek pal ke liye bhagwan se galti nahi ho sakti wo jo karte hai sab bhale ke liye hota hai aajtak maine gussa nhi kiya pata nhi kaise itna sab kah gaya main anjane mein aap dono ko takleef de di maine nahi socha aap dono itne mahine se dard mein ho aur ab main bhi I am sorry please maaf kardo" he said leaving her dupatta and folding his arms in front of them.

He looked towards Vineet with teary eyes "sorry papa galti ho gayi mujhse. Ek thappad laga dete jab main chillaya aap par"

Vineet held him by shoulder and made him stand "Aarav ye tumne jo kiya tumhara pyar tha. Mujhe tumse koi narazgi nahi hai hmm par dubara mat kehna ki tum hamare bete nhi ho samjhe" he said with moist eyes.

He nodded "nahi kahunga aur yahan se jaunga bhi nahi"

Vineet smiled and pulled him into a hug, he wiped his tears "ab rona nahi"

He separated and looked towards Ruhana. He held his ears "sorry maa"

Ruhana pulled his hands down and pulled him into a hug.

Manvi smiled seeing this, her eyes were teary seeing this family moment. She said "khana thanda ho gaya hai" to light up the moment.

Ruvi and Aarav looked towards her and smiled lightly.

"aap sab aa jao main khana garam karti hun" Manvi said and left the room.

Aarav thought he shouted at Manvi, she might have also hurt. Ruhana said "jao usse baat karo"

He smiled and asked her to confirm "aapne mujhe maaf kiya na?"

"tumse naraz thi kab main? Jao tum" Ruhana said.

Aarav nodded and moved out of the room.

Inside the kitchen, Manvi was warming the food on stove. Aarav entered inside, he came to her and said "Manvi.."

Manvi turned to him and smiled "haan? Kuch chahiye tumhe main khana laa rahi thi"

"I am sorry.. Bahut gussa kiya maine tumpar bhi chila pada pata nahi kya ho gaya tha mujhe maa papa ke saath wo sab hua toh.." Aarav stopped when Manvi kept her hand on his lips.

"Janti hun Aarav tumhe explanation dene ki zaroorat nhi hai.. Sab samjhti hun main agar tumhari jagah main hoti toh aise hi react karti par please agli baar aisa mat karna mujhe mera calm cute innocent sa Aarav ki acha lagta hai ye gusse waala nahi" she was speaking.

Aarav stared at her, she asked "kuch bolo ab"

Aarav signalled her by his eyes, Manvi looked. She removed her hand from his mouth and turned to the stove. She poured the food into the bowls.

"Sorry.. Dubara nahi karunga.." he said while picking up the bowl.

Manvi smiled, she picked up other bowl and casserole. They moved out, Ruhana and Vineet were already at the dining table waiting for them.

They kept the food on the table and sat down. Manvi said "maa papa yeh sabzi na Aarav ne sikhayi thi agar kuch thika feeka ho na toh isko hi daant lagana aap"

Aarav looked at her and sighed..

Ruhana smiled and said "Wo toh taste karne ke baad hi pata chalega"

She took some and tasted "bahut achi hai.. Aarav tumne kaha se seekhi? Humhe toh kabhi khilaya nhi tumne banake?" she asked.

Aarav looked at her and smiled "mauka mila hi kaha mujhe maa.. Seekha toh aapse hi tha toh tah raha kal sunday hai main hi aap sabke liye khana pakaunga" he said.

Vineet smiled "why not? Zaroor banana"

"Wo akela kyun? Tum bhi uski madad karna" Ruhana said while looking at Vineet smilingly.

Vineet looked at her shockingly "main kyun?"

"Kyun bete ki madad nahi kar sakte?" Ruhana asked.

"Maa papa.. Rehne dijiye main akela kar sakta hun" Aarav said.

"Haan maa aur aap dono abhi khana khake room mein aaram kijiye" Manvi said.

Ruhana smiled, Aarav and Manvi were having a light chit chat and Ruhana and Vineet smiled seeing them.

Later at RuVi's room

Ruhana was keeping her head on Vineet's shoulder. She said "sab thik ho gaya Vineet, Aarav samajh gaya"

Vineet smiled "haan Ruhana, main toh chahta hi nahi tha use ye sab pata chale par pata nhi kaise use pata chal gaya?" he thought.

"Wo kah raha tha na usne sab pada" Ruhana said.

Vineet smiled and said "matlab usne wo file padhli hogi.."

Ruhana questioned "kaunsi file?"

"Are wo Delhi mein kuch karne ko tha nhi toh aise hi maine likh diya tha" Vineet said while looking at her.

Ruhana smiled "really? Kaha hai? Mujhe bhi padhna hai"

"Dekhta hun main.." Vineet said, he stood up and began to search for it but could not find it.

"Ruhana mil nhi rahi hai.. Aarav ke paas hi hai shayad" Vineet said.

"Acha koi baat nhi abhi soh jaate hai warna tumhara beta aa jayega aur kahega aap dono soye nhi" Ruhana replied.

Vineet smiled and moved to the bed. Ruhana turned off the lights and they sleep. After a long time, they had a peaceful sleep.
