Manvi's POV

I was inside the room, getting ready for haldi function. Someone entered inside the room, I turned and was shocked seeing Ritvik.

My words were stuck in my throat seeing him as he appeared suddenly. He stood in front of him and asked in anger "kal janbujh kar kiya na wo sab haan?"

I replied "jo kiya sahi kiya.."

He was about to raise his hand on me but Arjun stopped him. Ritvik looked towards him, Arjun said "nahi.. Aisa karne ka sochna bhi mat samjhe.."

"Kaun hai tu?" he asked.

"Dost hun iska.. Tere ghar se sab maine gayab kiya hai mere kehne par isne sab kuch tere phone se delete kiya hai.. Ab utha mujhpe haath" Arjun said fuming in anger.

"Arjun..koi aa jayega.." I said.

"Aane de Manvi.. Jab uncle ise yahan dekhenge toh khud dhakka deke nikalenge yahan se.. Aur tum toh ache se jante ho tumhe dekhke kitna khoon khol utta hai unka" Arjun said threating him.

Ritvik glared at him, he looked towards Manvi... "I won't spare you easily Manvi.. You will have to pay for this" he warned her and left from the window.

I took a deep sigh.. I looked at Arjun and smiled "thank you.."

"It is alright.. Chal neeche sab wait kar rahe hai tera" Arjun said.

I nodded and walked downstairs with him. On the way I asked "Aarav se kaise nikaloge wo video?"

"Wo main kar lunga.. Uske ghar pe bhi rasmein chal rahi hongi na.. Bas mujhe uske ghar mein kaise bhi jaana hoga" Arjun shared.

"Lekin kaise?" I asked.

"Wo main soch lunga.." he replied,

I nodded.. I sat down on the stool present in between of the hall. I smiled looking at my mother.

She digged her fingers into the haldi bowl and then applied on my face, arms and leg. I looked into her eyes, those silent eyes were speaking millions of words. She was emotional, so was I.

Our this moment was broken by his voice "line mein aur log bhi hai."

I glared at him, to which he laughed.. "Aise mat dekh.. Sach kaha maine.." he replied.

"Mumma dekho na.. Bahut pareshan kar raha hai ye mujhe" I complained..

"Dost hai pareshan toh karega hi na" she replied taking his side.

I frowned.. "No one loves me here.."

"I do.." I heard my father voice. I smiled hearing this.

"Ab satao mujhe Arjun.." I said winking at him..

"Pitna thodi hai mujhe ab.." he said, he came closer to me, I looked at him

"Waise.. Badi achi lag rahi hai" he praised to which I smiled, he applied haldi on my nose and ran away from there.

I was left with open mouth. My parents laughed seeing this.

Arjun's POV

I looked at Manvi who was busy with her parents and the pre wedding ceremony. It was the time I could go to Aarav's house. But I needed a plan to enter his house.

My eyes then fall on something, a smile appeared on my face. I moved and Ruhana was standing there. I asked "aunty.. Ye kya hai?"

"Are kuch nahi shagun hai.. Bas Aarav ke ghar pahuchwa rahi hun" she replied.

This was the chance, I could get entry to his house. I smiled and said "main leke jaata hun na.."

"Are nahi.. Aur bhi log hai le jayenge" she said.

"Please na.. Main bhi dekh lunga kaisa lagta hai meri dost ka hone waala husband.." I insists trying to convince her.

She agreed.. "Thik hai le jao.."

I smiled and picked up the gifts with help of someone, who could keep them into the car. Before leaving I looked at Manvi and signalled her. She nodded with a smile.

I headed to his house, after taking his address from Vineet. I reached there in half an hour. The house was decorated, he was indeed belong to high society but with dirty mind. I parked the car and entered inside carrying the sweets and other gifts in my hand.

Someone came and looked at me "who are you?" the person asked.

"Namaste.. Main Arjun.. Ladki waalo ki taraf se ye shagun leke aaya tha" I informed.

"Oh.. aao beta yahan rakhdo" the person said. I followed him and kept the things, my eyes fell on a person who was with his friends. It seemed he was Aarav as he was dressed in sherwani.

"Toh ye hai Aarav.. Banda hai toh handsome aur shatir bhi.." I murmured.

The waiter passed by, I stopped him and took the juice. I thought, I will  manage to get his phone but it will be difficult to get it unlocked. I messaged Manvi to text aarav in 2 minute. I waited for Aarav's reaction.

It has been almost 10 minutes, he had not seen his phone. I sighed.. "Manvi.. Kar na yaar.."

Finally, I saw him putting his hands inside his pocket. A smile appeared on my face, I walked towards him. He took his phone and read the message. He excused himself and moved away from his friends. I took out my phone and pretended to be on call and collided with him, to which my drink dropped on his sherwani and his phone dropping down. I dropped my phone too and bend down to pick it up.

"What the hell?" he yelled in anger.

I stood up and gave him his phone "I am sorry.."

He walked away glaring at me. I smirked, I looked at the phone. I had his phone, it was unlocked because he was typing a message and I had my finger on a app. I moved away from there and scrolled his gallery. I found a folder and opened it. I was shocked seeing 2 videos.

"Disgusting.." I sighed in frustration. I quickly permanently deleted the videos.

I sighed deeply when it was deleted. I rechecked the gallery for my satisfaction. There was none. Now I had to check his laptop where he could have backup. I remembered, Manvi informing me about his room being upstairs left corner. I climbed the stairs and took left. There were two rooms, I entered the first room. There was few guests, it can't be his room.

I smiled to them "namaste.." and moved out.

I entered inside the next room, his picture was hanging on the wall and I knew I was inside the right room. I moved to the study table and his laptop was there. I opened it and it demanded password.

I connected my phone, I was IT expert and knew how to crack password. I was able to crack the password in 2 minutes. I sighed.. I searched for folder. It again demanded password. "Dammm he is really smart.."

I key-in the password. "Error Appeared"

"Arjun.. Think.. Kya ho sakta hai password"

I tried my luck and typed "Manvi" and it unlocked. I smirked and transferred everything into the hard disk I had with me.

I heard a noise from the bathroom. I needed 5 more minutes, I moved to the bathroom and locked it from outside.

I came to laptop and the file transfer was done, I removed the hard disk and shut down the computer. I heard Aarav's voice.. "Why this door is not opening"

I kept his phone on the table and picked up my phone, which I had replaced earlier. I rushed out of the room taking a deep breath. A smiled appeared my face as I was able to save my best friend. Now, none could threaten her, she will be safe.

Manvi's POV

The mehendi was getting applied on my hands. I was tensed, Arjun had gone to Aarav's house and it has been quite long time. I really wish hard his plan get successful. He is my last hope as tomorrow is the wedding and I don't want to get married to Aarav.

My eyes were at the entrance, Ruhana was sitting beside me. She asked.. "Kya dekh rahi hai?"

I replied "arjun ka wait kar rahi hun mumma"

"Haan kaafi time ho gaya hai usko abtak ho aa jaana chahiye tha use" she said.

I looked towards her and smiled. Just then, Arjun entered inside.

He came to me, Ruhana questioned "bahut time lagaya tumne Arjun.."

"Gadi kharab ho gayi thi aunty.. Wahi repair karwane laga tha aur ab itni achi tarah se repair hui hai ki kharab hone ke chance hi nahi"  he spoke while looking at me.

I was confused at his words for a while then understood what he meant. A smile appeared on my face hearing this. The tear of happiness rolled down my eyes. I blinked my eye to thank him.

He just smiled...
