Manvi in her room, sitting on bed holding Aarav's photo... "sab kehte hai ki main beh wajah gussa kar rahi hun aaj unse kuch sawalo ke jawab kya maang liye sab bhoot banke khade ho gaye bolenge bhi kaise? Kisi ke paas koi jawab hai hi nahi mere sawalo ka Vineet sir bhi chup chap khade meri baatein sun rahe they par jawab nahi diya jawab nahi toh order detey... uss din nahi diya kuch bhi nahi kiya kisine bhi" then she dozed off.

Manvi while sleeping....

"chalo toofan mail bahut sata liya ab main aata hun tumhare paas bahut jald"

Manvi woke up with a jerk "iss sapne ka kya matlab?" then she grasped the situation and murmured "tum toh nahi aa sakte par mujhe le jao ab le jao apne paas Aarav please le jao mujhe" tear escaped and she slept back. 

Next day she moves to office. Whole day passed nothing happened. She came back and stood in front of Aarav's picture and spoke "tumne kaha tha na tum aoge kyu nahi aaye tum haan..? tum bhi dhoka doge mujhe jaise sabne diya. tum bhi doge haan? Diya tumne mujhe dhoka khud toh chale gaye mujhe yahan iss duniya mein chod gaye jaha ke logo ke paas mere kisi bhi sawalo ka jawab nahi hai" she then goes to sleep.

At Ruvi's home

"sahi kaha usne Ruhana saalo pehle maine hi kaha tha Aarav ko ki uska khayal rakhe iss baar bhi kah deta toh shayad aaj Aarav yahan hota" Vineet spoke.

Ruhana looked at him "Vineet jo hua usey hum badal nhi sakte hai.. tum pareshan mat ho kuch din mein shant ho jayega uska gussa.. we just have to bring her back to the life"

"mujhe nahi lagta Ruhana aisa hoga ab dekho tum kuch dino ke liye mujhse door chali jaati ho mujhe acha nahi lagta hai aur Aarav toh..." he paused.

"janti hoon Vineet main.. usko samjhaungi main sunegi wo meri" she said.

He nodded and they moved to the room to sleep.

Next day Manvi wakes up, she looks at the time "7.30 itni der kaise ho gayi aaj?" she feels low. Her body is burning and she checks. He was having high fever. She sighed and still goes to office.

"Good morning" everyone wished

"good morning" and also moves to do her work.

Sachin noticed something is wrong with her but did not said anything because he knew in reply he will only get a rude reply and some more questions will be asked. He will not have answers to those questions. Vineet comes and says "Sachin construction site pe inspection ke liye jaana hai chalo"

Manvi said "main bhi aati hun"

Vineet looked at her and said "Manvi.. tumhari tabiyat tek nahi lag rahi hai tum.. yahi ruko hum jaa rahe hai"

Manvi replied "nahi sir.. mujhe kuch nahi hua hai"

Vineet said "Manvi par tumhe"

Manvi said stubbornly "sir.. kuch bhi nahi hua hai mujhe" and to sachin.. "tum logo ko aana hai toh aao.. nahi toh main khud hi chali jaungi" and she moved out...

Vineet sighed "nahi sunegi yeh Sachin, Angel, Nikhil, jao tum sab dhyan rakhna"

Sachin nodded "haan thik hai" 

At the site everyone was inspecting and guiding. It was scorching sun and Manvi was having high fever. She had not taken anything from last 24 hours too. The sun was shining on her face, her vision started to became blurry and then she fainted falling on ground with a thud all turned and were shocked.

Angel shouted "Manvi".

Sachin said "Nikhil.. jaldi gadi lao"

Nikhil: yes sir... and they take Manvi to hospital. The doctor treats her and after some times comes to them.

Angel asked "doctor kaisi hai Manvi?"

"ghabrane ki baat nahi hai wo bas kal se shayad unhone kuch khaya nahi and.. bhukar bhi tha.. kaafi aur dhoop mei kaam isliye behosh ho gayi she is alright.. aap unhe.. le jaa sakte hai" and doctor moves.

Sachin said "Vineet ne kaha tha ki na chale par nahi"

Angel replied "nahi sunengi Manvi kisiki Sachin jiski sunti hai wo toh hai nahi yahan" Sachin looked at her and they moved in to her room. Manvi gains her conscious.

Nikhil asked "mam aap tek hai na?"

Manvigave no reply, she was not speaking anything to them. Her silence was worrying them and she forcefully moved back to her home. Angel dropped her.

"Manvi agar koi bhi zaroorat ho toh bata dena" but she gave no response. She just went towards the door opened it and went in. Angel sighed and goes back to office. Everyday she used to speak to Aarav but today she did not.

She only said "tumne bhi dhoka de diya na. Mere dost, humsafar ne bhi mera saath chod diya.. aaj se kuch nahi mangugi tumse. Saza hai na meri yeh jhel lungi yeh saza dekhti hun kab tak chalta hai yea silsila roj marna hai na mujhe.. toh tek hai tayaar hun main tayaar hun.

As Days passed. Manvi now never got angry nor shouted. An unusual silence was present. She was taking her medicines, food whenever Ruhana or Vineet orders her to back home she moved. Her this changed behaviour was giving a scare to the team. One day Manvi was away for work.

Ruhana said "Vineet Manvi ki yeh chuppu darr lagta hai ab mujhe reports dena mujhe files wagera kaam ki baat ke alawa ek labaz nahi bolti"

Vineet said "haan Ruhana khana khati hai kaam karti hai time se ghar jaati hai par sab kuch ek machine ki tarah umhe pata hai nikhil keh raha tha roj office se jake beach pe baithi rehti hai chup chap ek kone mei fir ghar jati hai. Angel uske ghar gayi thi sirf daal chawal kha rahi thi wo. Angel ne kaha toh kehne lagi zinda iss se bhi reh sakte hai log... Team bhi baat kar rahi thi unhe bhi darr hai ki.. Manvi"

Vineet looks.. then Ruhana "maine sun liya"

Vineet said "Ruhana mere khayal hai use kisi psychiatrist"

Ruhana cuts him with "pagal ho tum? Mentally ill hoti to awards ke liye aaj bhi naam nominate nahi hota uska.. aisa kuch karoge to uska carrier"

Vineet asked "to kya karu main Ruhana?"

Ruhana replied "humhe sabko khud ko pehle majboot banana hoga Aarav ki yaadon se tum log hi nahi nikal paye toh woh kya uske saath baat karo.. pehle wala environment wapas laana hoga office mein"

Sachin came in with "nahi Ruhana itna asaan nahi hai par haan hum koshish karenge par kahi yeh ulta na pad jaye? Par agar utla bhi pade aur chahe wo gussa bhi ho jaye toh thik iss khamoshi se toh wahi behtar hai darr toh hai ye khamoshi koi bade toofan ka andesha to nahi hai"

Ruhana and Vineet were left thoughtful.

He moved out and was thinking about the talks in Vineet's cabin. Angel comes to him with some work but he was lost.

Angel asked "Sachin tum thik ho na?"

Sachin replied "haan Angel main wo Manvi ko"

Angel said "han sachin usko lekar toh hum bhi pareshan hai samajh nahi aata kya kare?"

"humhe hi.. karna hoga pehle jaisa environment laana hoga pehle karte they jaisa" Sachin said.

Pankaj asked "Sir mein samjha nahi"

Angel replied "Pankaj phele jaisa masti mazak"

"haan.. ab yahi tarika hai kal yahi karenge" Sachin said.

The next day, Manvi comes to office all were waiting for her to arrive and the starts to act. Freddy was pretending he had cried.

Sachin asked "kya hua.. Freddy aise roti shakal kyu hai tumhari?"

Feddy replied "sir mat puchiye aaj biwi ne bahut kaam karwaya aur daanta bhi".

Angel asked "koi baat nahi aap kahe toh hum baat kare unse?"

Freddy said instantly " arey nahi nahi aur maar par waogi kya"

"agar Vineet Sir hote toh kya bolte freddy ghar ka rona dona lekar yaha mat aaya karo... samze" Pankaj starts act like him. Vineet knew all this but he did not interrupt.

Manvi looks around and there is not a faint smile is also there in her eyes. She moves towards her desk and starts working in the file. Team exchange glances

Angel whispers khushi na saahi to gussa hi sahi.. she started arrey isi liye toh Vineet ko naam diya tha Aarav ne raavan.. Aarav nahi hai (she stressed the words) par yeah naam..

But no Manvi even didn't looked up.. Angel rushed out of the office in the parking lot she busted out in tears.. Here Manvi just looked up with sachin "Angel parking mein hogi jara dekhna" and moves back to file.

Team was looking at her unbelievably. Manvi feeling the glances looked up

"mein pagal nahi hui hun abhi ki kuch samajh nahi aye.. sayed ho jau jaldi.. fir yeah tarqib aajmana.. aab kaam kare? please"

Team silently moves back to work.

Vineet was looking at them with teary eyes just moved back to cabin

Manvi sighed in his mind "iss saza se main aise hi kaise bach jaaungi nahi maine apne Aarav ko bahut taqleef di abhi to aur baaki hai.. jab khatam hogi tab aise hi azaad ho jaungi aayega wo lene"

She sighed looked around found Angel. Manvi said "bekar ki koshish mat karo Angel kaam mei yeah brain lagao taki kal meri aur Aarav ki jagah le sako"

Team looked at Manvi in shock who calmly nodded and started discussing the project.

To be continued.
