Finally, Manvi will spend all her time with Anvi. She came home and saw Anvi. She rushed to her and hugged her tightly.. "Anvi aajse mumma sirf aapka khayal rakhegi"

Anvi freed herself.. "Nahi.. aap jao yahan se Anvi ko aapse baat nahi karni hai aap bad ho" she said angrily.

Manvi was in tears hearing her. Anvi ran away from there.

She sighed and did not know how to make her understand. Gautami decided to talk to Vineet about it but Manvi stopped her.. "Rehene do maa.. Badi ho jayegi toh samajh jayegi"

"Pagal ho kya tum? Badi hoke tumse bahut door ho jayegi wo" Gautami explained.

"Nahi maa.. Wo abhi 4 saal ki hai kuch nahi samjhegi.." Manvi said briefly.

"Par beta.."

"Please maa.. Usko papa toh pura pyaar mil raha hai mere liye wahi kaafi hai" she said with a smile hiding the pain behind. Gautami was aware of her, her words did not match her eyes.

It was the day of the rest. Manvi closed her eyes, Vineet checked the result and smiled "maa party karte hai aapki bahu graduate ho gayi hai iss parivar ke layak ban gayi hai samajh ke layak ban gayi hai"

Manvi opened her eyes and could not believe his words. She checked the results and she actually passed with distinction. A broad smile curved her lips, the tears of happiness fell from her eyes "Vineet.. Maine kar dikhaya" she hugged him tightly.

"Thank you Vineet, aapne mujhe khudke layak bana diya, ab koi nahi kahega main anpad hun iss society ke layak nahi hun... " she shared everything.

"Haa beta.. And we are so proud of you dekhna kal main party dungi" Gautami said with excitement.

The next day,

A grand party was organised, Anvi wore the dress which Vineet bought for her. "Papa anvi kaisi lag rahi hai?" she asked.

Vineet kissed her forehead "ek dum princess" he said with a smile.

They went to the party, Gautami held Manvi's hand and took her to the center. She said "ye party.. Un logo ke liye hai jinhone kaha kyun maine ek anath anpadh ladki ko apni bahu banaya hai.. Aaj main garv se kehti hun meri bahu aap sab ki tarah educated hai.. Ji hai.. Unse graduation complete kar liya hai apna and she holds a degree now"

"We are proud of you" Gautami said while kissing her forehead. Manvi smiled..

Everyone clapped and praised Gautami and Vineet for supporting Manvi.

Manvi moved to Jasmeet and smiled towards her "you are MBA graduate? I am Manvi Singhaniya, BA graduate capable enough to stand in this high society"

Jasmeet was embarrassed. "Jasmeet ji.. Kisi bhi ladki ki itni insult mat karna bina uska ateet jaane.. Aap janti kya thi mere baare mein kuch nahi.. Aapne mujhse mera bacha tak chinn liya maine kisiko kuch nahi kaha" Manvi said in pain.

Jasmeet was shocked hearing her. She was aware of it.

"Haa main samajh gayi thi aapne mujhe band kiya tha.." she revealed.. "Agar ye baat Vineet ko bata deti main toh wo aapke husband ko bata dete.. Aur phir shayad aapka ghar toot jaata.. Jo main karna nhi chahti thi" Manvi expressed.

Jasmeet folds her hand in front of her "I am sorry Manvi for everything, main bahut hi sharminda hun apni galti pe.."

Manvi held her hand "kiya aapko maaf maine.." she said with a smile.

Jasmeet hugged her.. Gautami smiled seeing this, she just wished everything to get sorted between Manvi and Anvi too.

Later, the party ended. Anvi was playing, Manvi said "beta kapde change karlo.."

Anvi ignored her..

"Acha.. aao main kar deti hun" Manvi said pulling her.

Anvi denied "nahi.. Papa karenge aap nhi"

As soon as Vineet entered, Anvi demanded to change her clothes. He did so, he glanced at Manvi who was upset but he was damn sure she would not tell him the reason.

A message beeped in her phone, she read it.

Vineet asked "kya message hai?"

"Ji.. padso graduation ceremony hai.." Manvi informed.

He was excited hearing the news. "Maine kya kaha tha? Jab tum graduate karogi main aur Anvi waha khade milenge tumhe.. Cheer karte hue toh padso wo din hoga.."

"Nahi papa Anvi kahi nahi jayegi" Anvi told Vineet.

Vineet glanced at her.. "Anvi beta.."

"Papa.. Anvi ko picnic pe jaana hai friends ke saath" She shared..

"Par beta mumma ka important din hai na.." he explained.

"Nahi.. Anvi nahi jayegi" she replied stubbornly and left.

"It is okay Vineet.. Zid mat kijiye.." Manvi said with a forced smile. Vineet eyed her carefully, he was sure something was wrong.

He went to Gautami and questioned her the reason for Manvi's disheartened face. Gautami revealed the truth to her. He was shocked to hear her.

He was angered "maa itna sab ho gaya aur tumne batana zaroori nahi samjha mujhe?" he confronted her.

"Vineet Manvi ne mana kiya tha mujhe aur main tujhe batane waali thi par Manvi ke exams tu sahi kehta tha humhe Anvi ko sab samjhana hoga" Gautami said in guilt.

Vineet calmed down himself and said "maa.. Tum pareshan mat ho main Anvi ko samjhaunga wo samajh jayegi"

"Kaise Vineet? Maine kitna samjhane ki koshish ki usko but wo nahi samajh rahi hai" Gautami said briefly.

"Wo samjhegi maa.. Bahut samajhdar hai meri beti" he said with a smile.

He went to the room, Manvi was sitting down with tears in her eyes. Vineet called her name, she wiped her tears and smiled "ji..."

"Padso graduation hai na.. Maa ko saath leke jaana apne main Anvi ko picnic le jaunga" he said.

Manvi agreed without arguing with him as she knew Anvi wanted her father more.

Vineet felt disappointed for not understanding the pain she was hiding behind her smile.

The Day of Graduation

Manvi reached the college, she really wished that Vineet and Anvi were here with her on the biggest day of her life. She was feeling incomplete without them.

Will Vineet be able to CONVINCE Anvi?
