Vineet nodded "jee doctor phir Aarav uske liye?" he was tensed

Doctor said "sir aapko kuch karna hoga unke mind ko jyada stress tek nahi hoga unke saath saath aapko bhi peeche jaana hoga main janta hun yeh aapke liye aasan nahi hoga par"

Vineet agreed "jee doctor thank you" Vineet and Ruhana moves out and comes in to Manvi's room.

She asked "sir... plz batyie na kya hua tha mujhe?"

Vineet replied "Manvi wo tumhari car ka accident hua tha aur phir tum kaafi zakhmi hui thi and kafi samay se tum coma mein thi"

Aarav was shocked and confused why he is lying.

Manvi said "sir.. meri wajah se aapko bahut pareshani hui na"

Vineet denies "nahi nahi Manvi koi pareshani nahi hai"

Manvi looked at Ruhana who seemed to be tensed "Ruhana mam aap itni pareshan kyun hai main thik hun ab".

Ruhana smiled "haan Manvi kuch nahi"

Aarav tried to say "Ma.."

Vineet interrupts "Aarav chalo Manvi ko aaram karne do"

Aarav looked at him "par.. sir"

"Aarav chalo" and Vineet drags him out. Aarav asked "sir aapne jhooth kyun bola kyu? Aur yeh Manvi kya bol rahi hai?"

Vineet explained "Aarav.. meri baat suno Manvi ko 5 saal ka kuch bhi yaad nahi hai bas uss hadsey se pehle ka sab yaad hai"

Aarav was shocked "kya sir? Nahi Manvi iska matlab yeh hai ki main ab uske liye ab ek mamuli sa clerk?"

"haan Aarav". in disappointment he said. Aarav was about to fall but Vineet hold him, "Aarav sunno Manvi ko hum abhi kuch yaad nahi dila sakte uski jaan ko khatra ho sakta hai."

Aarav looks at him and said "par sir meri Manvi main nahi chupa paunga nahi chupa paunga"

Vineet said "Aarav... humhe karna hoga uske liye please jab tak ussey kuch yaad nahi aata tab tak humhe yeh natak karna hoga"

Aarav was tensed, how he will act to be a stranger in front of her. Ruhana said "Aarav tum ghabra kyu rahe ho Manvi.. ko sab yaad aa jayega bas humhe thoda intezar karna hoga agar sab baatein aachank uske saamne aayi toh"

Aarav nodded "thik hai main Manvi ke liye kuch bhi karunga"

At office

Sachin said "Angel ek good news hai"

Angel asked "kya?"

Sachin replied "Manvi ko hosh aa gaya hai"

All were happy, but Sachin looked tensed.

Pankaj asked "sir.. yeh aachi baat hai phir aap pareshan kyu dikh rahe hai?"

Sachin turned to him and said "Pankaj wo Manvi ko hosh toh aa gaya hai par wo 5 saal peeche chali gayi hai"

All were stunned.

Angel asked "sachin yeh tum kya kah rahe ho?"

Vineet said "sahi keh rah hai Sachin"

All turn and Vineet was standing behind, he looked at all and said "Manvi ko uss haadse ke baad ka sab bhul gayi hai wo"

Nikhil asked "sir iska matlab hai ki wo hum mein se kisiko nahi pehchanti?"

Vineet nodded "haan Nikhil... kisi ko bhi nahi yaha tak ki Aarav ab uske liye uska dost nahi hai sirf ek junior hai uska"

Angel said "lekin Vineet Aarav toh dost hai na uska phir yeh"

Vineet replied "Angel Manvi senior ki post pe thi aur Aarav newly joined clerk tha and filhal Manvi ke liye Aarav uska dost pyar kuch nhi hai bas ek colleague hai aur humhe yeh natak karna hoga"

Angel said "lekin Vineet Aarav kaise?"

Vineet replied "samhja diya hai maine ussey tum log bhi ek baat samjhlo Sachin ko chodkar tum sab naye employees honge uske saamne koi bhi purani baat nahi karega samjhe sab aise behave karenge jaise pehli baar mil rahe hai usse main janta hun aasan nahi hai par uski zindagi ke liye yahi thik hai"

Sachin said "Vineet yeh kya ho gaya hai?"

Vineet said sadly "Sachin honi ko koi nahi taal sakta hai koi nahi"

Flashback over

Vineet said "wo karne ke liye... humhe kitni muskil aayi Manvi se sach chupana aasan nahi tha, nahi tha aasan khas kar Aarav ke liye"

Ruhana nodded and said "par uss waqt hum kar bhi kya sakte they Vineet uske liye wahi thik tha"

They hear a noise from outside, they moved out and saw Manvi shouted at Pankaj for not completing his work. Ruvi looked at each other.

She then moved to her place and kept herself busy in work so she do not think about Aarav but still somewhere she could feel Aarav around her. She remembered after discharge from hospital.

Flashback

In hospital, Vineet and Ruhana were there with Manvi. Manvi requested "sir please mujhe yahan ab aur nahi rehna hai aap please discharge dilwayie na"

Vineet said "par Manvi abhi tum"

Manvi replied "sir please main kaam karungi toh jaldi achi hongi"

Vineet said "Manvi par"

Ruhana interupts "Vineet rehne do na jante ho isey tum ki she hates hospital" then to Manvi "kyun Manvi?"

Manvi looked at her and said "jee haan Ruhana mam"

Vineet nodded "aacha thik hai main baat karte aata hun" and he left.

Manvi smiled and asked "Sir toh aapki baat maan lete hai shaadi ke baad bhi maanege?"

Ruhana looked at her and thought "hamari shaadi 4 saal pehle hui thi.. oh god! Isse jhooth bholna padega" she then said to Manvi "haan maanega na business partner jo hai toh lifetime baat maanni padegi"

She asked "kab kar rahe hai aap dono shaadi? Mujhe toh bahut wait hai aap dono ki shaadi ka"

"jaldi kar lenge Manvi na toh wo bhaag raha hai na main" Ruhana said.

Soon Vineet returned with discharge papers. He said "main Aarav ko bejhta hun wo tumhe ghar chod dega"

Manvi: tek hai sir... (smiling)

At home, Aarav is packing his stuff, he thought where will he go as after moving in with Manvi the owner had rented the house to another tenant and he had never thought he would have to leave this home. He looked at the wall and starts removing all the pictures.

"nahi Aarav yeh waha lagao yahan nahi"

"arey kya kar rahe ho Aarav itni keemti hai toot jayegi"

Tears escaped and his phone ringed, he picked up the phone.

Vineet said "hello Aarav"

Aarav replied "jee sir"

Vineet asked "sab ho gaya?"

Aarav nodded "haan Sir ho gaya"

"thik hai tum abhi hamare ghar aa jao" he said.

"nahi Vineet bhai main.." he said.

"Aarav bhai bhi kehte ho aur mana bhi karte ho chup chap ghar aao aur shyam ko Manvi ko lene bhi chale jaana usey" Vineet ordered.

Aarav replied "janta hun toofan main ko hospital pasand anhi hai aapse zid ki hogi ghar jaane ki"

Vineet (smiled) haan bilkul aisa hi kiya thik hai rakhta hun

He ended the call, Aarav picked up his bags and moved out of the house. Later in evening, he came to hospital to pick Manvi, there was a silent between them. Aarav dropped Manvi to her house and left.

He rang the door bell, Ruhana opened the door. He passed a light smile to her and moved to the guest room.

Vineet was at home, Ruhana said to him "Vineet wo thik nhi lag raha hai jaake dekho usey"

He moved but saw him coming taking his bags, Vineet asked "kaha chale?"

"apne ghar yahan rehke aapko pareshan nhi karna chahta hun kuch din ki baat hai fir toh wapas apne purane ghar shift ho jaunga wo tenant abhi hai nahi shahar mein toh koi dikkat nhi hogi" he said and left.

Next day in office, everyone arrived early. Ruhana said "sachin angel jaldi se sab computers ke timing and dates change karo aur yeh calender hataya kyun nhi abhi tak?"

Vineet said "Ruhana relax ho jayega"

Angel took a deep breath "haan ho jayega ab usko mam bulana padega kitna difficult hai yeh sab karna"

"karna toh padega Angel" Sachin said.

Pankaj shouted "Manvi mam aa rahi hai"

All got back to their places, Ruhana and Vineet moved into their cabin.

Manvi arrived all wished "good morning"

"good morning" she was looking at them as she is seeing them for the first time. She said "aap sab"

Aarav said "Manvi wo" Manvi looked at him and he immediately said "mam yeh sab new employees hai" and they introduce themselves to Manvi all were hiding their tears inside.

She looked around "yeh office kuch badla badla sa lag raha hai"

Aarav replied "wo jab tum.." he paused "jab aap hospital mein thi toh interior change hua tha"

She nodded..

Manvi looks at Angel "tum"

Angel said "yes mam" it was first time she had to call her mam.

Manvi asked "kya naam bataya tumne apna?"

"Angel" she said

"haan Angel mujhe abhi ke abhi sab files laa kar do chahe wo complete ho ya na ho" she said.

"yes mam" and Angel brings all the files, she looks at all the files and Vineet is watching from his cabin.

He thinks "janta tha main aate hi yahi karegi yeh isliye tumhari ki hui complete files maine chupa di thi aur yeh 5 saal purane projects ke file nikalwaye"

There are most of the files completed by other and very few completed by Aarav.

Manvi: (angry) yeh kya hai jyada se jyada files tum sab logo ne complete ki hai aur isne (pointing towards Aarav) bas kuch files kyu?

Aarav had nothing to say as he hates to do paper work so Manvi used to take his burden on her. She use to complete his incomplete files today she is why?"

Aarav said "wo main"

Vineet came out and said "Aarav mere cabin mein aao"

Manvi looks at him angrily, Aarav goes in. He said 'thank you"

Vineet asked "kis liye?"

Aarav replied "mujhe bachane ke liye uski daant se mere pass koi jawab nahi hai uske sawal ka kyuki jawab wo janti hai wo khud mera kaam kar diya karti thi janti thi wo achi tarah se mujhe paper work bilkul bhi pasand nahi hai"

Vineet kept his hand on his shoulder and said "janta hun Aarav bahut sehna padega tumhe yeh safar muskil hoga tumhare liye par"

Aarav smiled lightly and said "sir.. Manvi ke liye kuch bhi"

To be continued.
