Manvi was in Aarav's room. They were sitting and Aarav was reading Vineet's reports. He was thinking something. Manvi looked at him…

“Kya soch rahe ho? “ she asked.

“Manvi, jab tumhare papa ko phases hote hain memory loss ke, tab humko unhe yaad karne ke liye force nahi karna hai. We have to handle him with care. Moments recreate kar sakte hain. “ he said.

“Maa keh rahi thi. Lekin kabhi kabhi wo subah subah lost rehte hai. “ she said.

“Wo phases hote hain Manvi. Unhe yaad nahi rehta. “ he said.

Manvi remembered something.. “haan aarav. Ek baar mum dad office ja rahe they. Tab bhi dad raasta bhatak gaye they.” she said.

“was he ever hurt on his head?” he asked.

“haan! Ek baar accident mein lagi thi uske baad humne socha its just like that. But ab lagta hai its turning severe. “ Manvi spoke.

“didn't you get him treated? “ he asked.

“Papa ke friend hai ek. Unhone hi treat kiya tha unko. Mumma ke paas details ho sakti hai. “ she said while looking at him.

Aarav thinks.. “ we need the details Manvi. And kuch fresh tests bhi karvane honge. Ye reports purani hai. “ he said.

“okay! Main maa aur sameer uncle se baat karti hoon. Maa uncle ki advice ke bina kuch nhi karti. “ she said.

“kyuun na hum dono unse mile? “ he suggested.

“possible. Mujhe uncle se baat karni hi hai” she said.

They were distracted by a voice. They looked up and found Ruhana. She kept the tray with snacks on the table and looked at Manvi…

“Tumhare sameer uncle shaam ko aa rahe hai. Tab jo baat karni hai kar lena. “ she said.

Manvi nodded… “but sab thik hai na? “” she asked.

Ruhana smiled.. “Haan thik hai. Wo bas papa se milne aa rahe hain. “ she said.

Manvi sighed… “fir thik hai. “

Ruhana patted her head…

“Ab tum dono aaram karlo. Tension mat lo. “ she said.

Manvi nods… “aap jao, main aati hoon. “ she said.

Ruhana leaves the room and Aarav pats her shoulder..

“Relax! Sab thik ho jayega “ he said.

She kept her hand on his…

“I hope so Aarav. Abhi tum bhi rest karo. “ she said and left the room.

RuVi’s Room

Vineet was sleeping while Ruhana was sitting beside him smearing his head.

Manvi entered in and climbed on the bed.

“kya soch rahi ho? “ she asked.

Ruhana came out of her trance.. “kuch nahi mannu. “ she said.

“Mumma don't worry. Aarav hai na, ab sab thik ho jayega. “ she said.

Ruhana smiled… “tujhe bada vishwas hai uspe? “ she asked.

“wo mera dost hai maa. I know him. He's a good doctor. I'm sure wo papa ka case ache se handle karega. “ she said.

Ruhana cupped her cheek..

“aur mujhe tum dono pe bharosa hai. I'm sure tum dono koi solution nikal loge “ she said.

Manvi held her hands… “ Ofcourse maa. Don't worry. Aaj sameer uncle se baat karenge. Fir aarav treatment karega. “ she said

Ruhana nodded. Manvi lied in her lap. Ruhana started smearing her head. Manvi looked at her..

“dekhna, sab pehle jaisa ho jayega. “ she said.

Ruhana kissed on her head..

“ Haan i know. Jab tu mere sath hai, toh kuch kaise ho sakta hai. “ she said.

Manvi smiled and hugged her from her waist and drifted into sleep. Ruhana had her on hand on Manvi’ s head and other on Vineet's. She looked at them,tears welled up in her eyes.

*Flashback Begins*

Ruhana was making Manvi sleep in her room. Vineet came in…”Ruhana wo… “. But was cut by her… “dheere bolo, mushkil se sulaya  hai mannu ko. “ she said.

He kept his finger on his lips. Ruhana smiled and put pillow under Manvi's head and made her sleep properly. She kissed on her head and moved out of the room.

“ab bolo. “ she said.

“wo tumhare sign chahiye. “he said and forwarded the papers. She signed on them. He smiled. She looked at him..

“tumhe yaad hai kal kya hai? “ she asked.

“kya hai? “ he asked unknowingly.

“tumhe yaad nahi? “ she asked.

He noded negatively. She glared at him…

“jab yaad aaye tab baat karna. Mr Vineet “ she said and moved into her room.

He followed her and hugged her…

“kaise bhool sakta hoon. Main mazak kar raha tha. “  he said.

“toh batao kya hai kal? “ she asked.

“hamari anniversary. “ he said and kissed on her head.

“jhooth kyun bola? “ she asked.

“aise hi. Tumhe toh main kabhi bhul nahi sakta. “ he said.. She smiled abd hugged him.

*flashback ends. *

She came out of her trance with some noises and she was left surprised and shocked.
