Manvi stood up and trembled, he held her. She looked at him and made faces. She pushed him and went out of the study room. 

He followed her, he tried to locate her but was unable to find.  He then went to the terrace and she was walking on the wall. He was shocked.. "Ye kya kar rahi ho?" 

She smiled towards him.. "Chal rahi hun.." 

"Gir jaoge.. Ruko neeche aa jao" he said as he was scared she might lose her balance and fall behind. 

"Nahi.. aap na meri baat mat kata karo.. Main kabse aapse baat karne ki koshish kar rahi hun but aap meri sun hi nhi rahe hai.." she said making a cry face.

"Acha okay I will listen to you but tum please neeche aa jao.." Vineet said agreeing to her.

She denied and said "nahi.. Pehle aap meri baat suniye.. Pata hai kitna tang karte they sab mujhe school mein.. Mujhe bhi takleef hoti hai insan hun main bhi aakhir kabtak sab sunti main? Phir ye dance competition ek rasta tha mere paas.. Aapse kitni baar baat karne ki koshish ki thi maine but aapne nahi suni.. Aapko pata hai mujhe kabhi kuch karne ka mauka nhi mila aur aaj mila toh maine bas dil ki awaaz sunke kiya.." she said..

He silently listened to her. She broke down in tears "aapse jhooth bolna mujhe acha nhi lagta tha.. 5 saal aapki nafrat sahli maine.. Aur ab aapki narazgi nahi sahayi jaati.. Darr laga rehta hai har pal kahi ye khushiya mujhse cheen na jaaye.. " 

He said "neeche uthro.." 

"Nahi pehle aap bolo aapne mujhe maaf kiya?" she asked. 

He held her hand and pulled her down. He gave her a look "bahut ho gaya tumhara drama.. Ye emotional blackmail mujhpe nahi chalega samjhi tum..." he said in a firm tone and went away from there. 

Manvi frowned.. 

Vineet came to the room, he sat on the couch. He heard some music sound. He felt a hand touching him. He looked and it was Manvi. 

"sorry na" she said cutely. 

He removed her hand and headed towards bed. Manvi moved to washroom, after sometime she came out wearing the knee length dress sleeveless. He looked at her and was mesmerized. 

She claimed on bed on top of him. He was surprised at her act. It was due to the alcohol which she drank. 

He pushed her and went to the pool area. Manvi followed him and hugged him from behind. 

He turned towards her, she smiled and said "sorry" 

She was about to kiss him but her eyes closed and she fell behind. 

He sighed with a smile on his face. He picked her up and took her into the room. He lay her own bed and covered her with blanket. 

He moved but she had held his hand. He sighed, he lay down beside her on the remaining space. 

The next morning, Manvi opened her eyes with headache. She stood up and looked at the time, it was 11 am in the morning. 

"itni der ho gyi aaj mujhe and aaj Sunday hai ye bhi ghar pe honge" she quickly hopped off the bed. 

She went to take a shower and then wore her saree. She moved out of the room and saw Maria working. She asked "Kaha hai??" 

"sir club gaye hai.." maria replied

Manvi wondered what happened to last night? She thought "lagta hai kal raat ki harkat ke baad mujhse aur naraz hai" 

She went to the room and completed her school work. 

Door bell rang, she ran to open the door. She sighed when maths teacher Mr. Shukla was here instead of Vineet. 

"aap" 

"Haa maths mein aapko bahut mehnat karni hai isliye extra class dene aa gaya" he said. 

Manvi hesitated to let him in as no one is at home. Maria had also gone to church. 

"ji mujhe vineet sir ne hi kaha tha" he said. 

Manvi agreed and let him enter into the house. They went to the room, manvi took out the maths book and began studying. 

"pani milega ek glass" he asked. 

Manvi nodded and went to get water for him. She returned in few minutes and gave him water. She saw few books on the floor. She started to pick them up and he was staring at her belly which was visible under saree. He was giving her dirty looks. 

He stood up and went near to her keeping his hand on her waist. She shivered with his touch. 

She stood up immediately, he took her hand and pulled her closer. She was shocked at his move. 

"aap kya kar rahe hai" she said scaredly.

"bahut hi khubsurat ho.. Bas ek baar phir dekho kaise paas hoti ho maths mein" he said inhaling her fragrance. 

She tried to push him away but he had held her tightly. She shouted "chodiye mujhe vineet aayenge to aap" 

"kya?? Bataogi usko.. Kahogi mujhse tution nhi lena.. Bahana banaogi na padhne ka.." he said with mischievous smile on his face. 

She had tears in her eyes. He is already angry with her for the lies about the competition and if she says anything about not taking tution. This will hurt him more. 

The door knob sound was heard, shukla left her. Manvi had a sign of relief, it was Vineet who had returned from the club. 

Vineet looked and asked "kya baat hai??" 

"dekhiye na Vineet sir ye kah rhi hai inse nhi hoga nahi chahiye maths tution" shukla said. 

Vineet unaware of his intentions says "bahane to bahut hai iske paas na padhne ke.." 

Manvi said "nahi main kar lungi aap dijiye tuitions" 

Shukla smiled, vineet moved out taking his laptop. 

Shukla said "aaj to bach gyi.. Koi nhi wo waala maths phir kabhi" and left the house. 

Manvi was scared hearing his words. The way he touched her today had already raised fear in her heart. She moved out and went to the kitchen.

She started chopping the vegetables for the dinner. Her mind was still at the incident happened today. She prepared the dinner and arranged it on the dinning table. 

Vineet came and sat for the dinner. He saw some chappati were burned and some halfed cooked. He ate with vegetable which was tasteless. He was surprised for the first time Manvi had prepared such worse food. 

He asked "aaj khana tumne banaya?" 

She replied "ji.." 

She then looked at the food. She said "sorry main dusra bana ke laati hun" 

"zaroorat nahi hai.. Bhook nhi hai mujhe" saying which he stood and went to the room. 

Manvi sighed and prepared coffee for him. She went to the room and saw him with some files. She said "coffee le lijiye" 

He did not replied. She kept the coffee on the table and turned to leave but her dupatta hit the mug and it fell on the papers which were beside it. 

He glanced at her and said in anger "kaha dhyan hai tumhara??" 

She apologized and went out of the room. She came to another room and locked it. Tears slipped down her eyes, nervousness the fear reasoned her to commit mistakes. She just lost concentration on her work
