She did not shivered at his loud voice. She just smiled hearing him and asked "Aapko jealousy hui?"

"Bilkul bhi nahi.." he gave a tough reply.

"Aur wo phone conversation kya tha haan? Tumse nahi hoga.. Gf ko pata chalega toh and all" he questioned her.

She thought about it and burst out laughing. He eyed her confusingly.

"Why are you laughing?? Puch raha hun main kuch" he asked angrily.

"Aapko laga mera aur Sid ka affair chal raha hai?" she asked.

"Haan laga mujhe tumhari harkatein hi aisi hai" he said fumingly.

She kept on laughing hearing him. He passed her a tough look.. "Stop laughing"

She kept finger on her lips trying to control her laughter.

"What is funny? Answer me" he asked.

"Sorry Vineet... wo maine aapko thoda pareshan kiya I mean Sid ko pata hai aap mere husband hai aur wo sid sirf 18 years ka hai uski gf bhi hai and most importantly wo bas mera acha dost hai college mein" Manvi reveals it all.

He was left shocked hearing her.. "What? Aur wo phone conversation?"

"Wo mujhe coffee ke liye puch raha tha.. Uski gf mujhe thoda pasand nhi karti aur aapko laga.." she closed her eyes and started laughing.

He fumed in anger.. "Tumne mujhe pareshan kiya binawajah.." he glanced at her.

He held her wrist and pushed her to the wall. She shivered with this move of his. She eyed him.. "Vineet.."

"Saza milegi iski ab tumhe.." he said with a fiering gaze.

He kept her hand on her waist and pulled her closer. He kissed her lips and she responded back resulting in both of them spending a passionate night together.

The next morning, Manvi got up with a smile on her face. She glanced at Vineet, who opened his eyes.

"Ek baat batao tumne mujhe itna pareshan kyun kiya?" he asked.

"Wo.. aap meri baat nahi maante na aapne orders mujhe dete hai isliye maine socha thoda aapko bhi pareshan karlun main" she replied.

"Acha.. waise ek baat kahun mujhe toh shuru se pata tha tum ye sab jaan bhujke kar rahi ho" he revealed with a mischevious smile.

She was shocked to hear it. "Kab pata chala aapko?" she asked.

"Jab tum maa ko bata rahi thi iss baare mein" he replied raising his eyebrow.

She bit her tongue out.. "Toh aapne bola kyun nahi?"

"Kyuki itne mahino baad tumhare chahre pe khushi dekhi thi maine aur wo smile jo uss hadse ke baad kho gayi thi.." he said holding her hand.

She smiled and hugged him...

"Chalo ab ready ho jaao.. Sid aata hoga lene" he said.

She glanced at him and smiled. "Wo nahi aayega.. Aaj main aapke saath jaungi" she said.

He nodded, soonish they left the house. Manvi reached the college with a pleasant smile. Everything was back to track in her life. She walked to the corridor and collided with someone.

She apologized "Sorry.."

She looked at the face and was left stunned seeing the person. She immediately ran towards the classroom. She sat on her bench breathing heavily. Sid touched her shoulder.. Manvi glanced at him.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

Manvi nodded.. She was lost, unable to concentrate in the lecture. Suddenly she felt everything would scatter. The person's face flashed in front of her and she shivered thinking about it. The class ended, she moved out holding her books tighly.

She walked at turtle speed, and suddenly someone pulled her hand on her face. Her eyes became wide seeing him, the face made her shiver and paralize at her place.

"Manvi acha laga tumse milke ab toh mulakat hoti hi rahegi" his voice sounds in her ear.

He held her wrist tightly, she tried to free her hand but his grip was stronger. Someone she managed to free herself and ran out of the college in tears.

Why does her happiness not last for long? Why can't she be at peace? Firstly, the miscarriage and now her past in front of her again.

She reached home and went straight to her room. She closed the door and turned off the lights. She sat down on the floor and cried remembering her past.

"Mujhe wapas anath ashram jaana hai"

"Nahi... main kisise kuch nahi kahungi"

"Main kar dungi ye kaam aapka aap madamji ko mat batana"

Gautami knocked on her door "manvi.. Beta darwaza khol"

Manvi wiped her tears, she cleaned her face with her dress. She stood up and opened the door with a smile "ji maa"

"Thik ho na tum?" she questioned.

Manvi nodded in yes "haan maa main dinner bana deti hun" she went to the kitchen.

She prepared the food, and arranged it on the dining table. Vineet and Gautami sat for dinner, Manvi served them the food and sat beside Vineet.

Gautami and Vineet were discussing something and Manvi was lost somewhere. Vineet kept his hand on hers, she looked at him "ji.."

"Kya hua? Khana kyun nahi kha rahi ho tum?" he questioned.

She just smiled "kha rahi hun" she ate.

She wanted to tell him the reason for her worry but could not as it was her past which he might not accept. But she promised him that she won't hide anything from him.

Later in the room, Manvi saw him working. It seemed he was tense about something. She asked "Aap pareshan hai?"

"Haan Manvi.. Ek bahut badi deal hone waali hai kal agar wo successful rahi toh hum international market mein bhi kaam karenge" he informed her.

She smiled and replied "ye deal zaroor hogi aap itni mehnat jo karte hai"

"Wo toh hai.. Aur jabse tum saath aayi ho toh aur acha ho raha hai" he said and thanked her for the support.

She thought "mujhe abhi baat karke inhe pareshan nahi karna chahiye kal inki deal ho jaye phir bata dungi"

The next morning, Vineet left for office early as he had an important meeting. Manvi went to the college as she did not want to miss any class because of her past and fear.

She reached her classroom and attended the lecture. It ended in 2 hours and left in a rush. Avneet came to her and informed "Manvi tumhe professor bula rahe hai. Kuch discuss karna hai unhe"

Manvi nodded.. "Thik hai aati hun main kaunsa room?"

"Upar economics classroom mein" she said and left.

Manvi took the stairs to the fourth floor. She reached the classroom but could not find the professor. She then heard the door locking sound. She was shocked to see the same person. Her eyes became wide seeing him, she panicked a shiver passed down her spine.

He approached near to her, her voice choked and no words were dropping from her lips. Her face started to sweat badly. She tried to run but he held her wrist and his touch made her shiver. She hated this touch.

"Doo..r rahiye mujhse" she said with tears dropping down her eyes.

"Come on Manvi.. Main toh tumhara adopted father hun na mujhse kya darna?" he asked sarcastically.

She looked at him. Her past was in front of her, the torture she had been at her teenager age. He pulled her closer, she closed her eyes and shouted "chodo mujhe"

"Come on Manvi.. Bachpan mei.. Maza aata tha na.." he said with an evil smile.

He tried to touch her shoulder, she jerked away. He held tightly by holding her from the waist.
