Near about a week had passed, that night Manvi after coming back home was feeling too tired to make dinner or anything.

"aur kitne din Aarav aur kitne din.." she sat down on the sofa feeling pain in her head but strangely feeling too sleepy.

She slept...

Next morning when she woke up she felt a new energy something fresh inside her. She can't name it but she feels that yes she is a living soul. She after getting ready made her way to office with a peace unknown sooth in her mind.

She didn't felt bad when the watchman saluted her after long she nods him back, she moved in with a new aura. Ritvik, Angel, Pankaj and sachin was present there they wished her good morning and after months she wished them back..

Pankaj was just staring at her, Sachin thought it to be his mistake to hear the voice not tired.

Vineet came after long Manvi wished him in a full voice or else she just murmured morning sir. Vineet looks at her who is suddenly feeling strong. Manvi and Vineet moved in cabin to discuss something. Team discussing about the sudden overnight change

Sachin said "Achanak Manvi mein ek raat mein pehle jaise?"..

Angel said "chaukani waali baat toh hai par ek tarah se acha hi hai humhari pehle waali Manvi wapas aa gayi"

Sachin said "aur kitne samay baad usne sabko good morning kaha and Vineet ko bhi ab bas aise hi rahe wo kabhi na badle"

Angel replied "haan Sachin aisa hi hoga aaj din ki shuruwat hi achi hui hai aage bhi sab acha hi hoga" and all smiled.

Here inside the cabin after the project discussion, vineet said "thank you Manvi:

"jee bhai?" confused.

Vineet said "humhe pehle wali Manvi wapas dene ke liye"

Manvi smiled strangely not the embarrassed or shy smile she used to give "bhai meri saza joh puri ho gayi ab to sab se maafi maang lungi bas..."

Ruhana nodded in no "nahi Manvi tumhara gussa jayes tha.. maafi mangne ki koi zaroorat nahi hai"

Manvi nods "jee Di"

Vineet asked in confusion "par tumhari saza matlab kis saza ki baat kar rahi ho?"

Manvi smiled and replied "kuch nahi bas ab jaana hai bas"

Ruhana asked "kaha?"

Manvi jerked "kuch nahi sir.. wo main chalu?" she asked.

She came out and Sachin informed about some problem at the site. They moved to the site. They took the temporary lift to upstairs and began inspecting.

"Sachin sir yahan toh sab thik hai koi problem nahi hai" Manvi said

Suddenly voices were heard, Manvi recognized some of them and said "yeh log toh wahi hai jab main aur Aarav"

Angel spoke up "iska matlab sharma hum sabko maarke hamara kaam band karwana chahta hai khud kabza karke"

Sachin said "inki toh! Aaj yeh gundo ko bataunga main.. aur yeh sharma jail jayega"

They fought with them, they moved downstairs but stopped when they heard the bullet sound. They turned and were shocked, they shouted "Manvi"

She drops on the floor with blood oozing out from her chest. Someone had shot her.

Here Vineet speaking to Ruhana.

Vineet said with a smiled "aaj bahut din baad Manvi pehle jaisi mil gayi humhe mujhe sayad meri behen wapas mil jayegi"

Ruhana said in doubt "par Vineet ek raat mein aise?"

Vineet kept his hand on her hand and said "Ruhana ab kuch mat socho bas humhe wapas mil gayi"

The phone rang

Vineet said "hello haan bolo Angel"

Angel said "Vineet turant city hospital aa jao Manvi wo usey goli"

"kya?" Shocked....

Vineet and Ruhana rushed to hospital

Manvi was in operation theatre. Outside all are waiting Vineet and Ruhana arrived. And Sachin informed them about what had happened.

"doctor Manvi" Vineet asked in tensed

Doctor said in serious tone "Manvi ke pass waqt bahut kam hai aap log mil lijiye unsey I am sorry" Ruhana collapses on ground few hours ago they felt all is right but now nothing is left, Vineet picked her up all were having tears.

Vineet said "sambhalo"

Ruhana said "yeh kya ho gaya?" and team moved in

Manvi was lying on bed, with life equipment attached. Manvi looked and smiled removed the oxygen and.spoke up..

"Vineet bhai aap sab mujhe.. maaf ker dijiyega meri saza ab kha..tam.."

She started breathing heavily, Sachin called in the doctor.

The doctor started applying medicine and massaging her chest Manvi was staring at the space a smile on her lips..

Vineet  rubbing her hairs "Manvi..."

Ruhana was trying with "aankh khula rakho..Manvi"

Team also panics Angel and Sachin calling loudly Ruhana crying, Manvi's body jerked.

Doctor asked for arranging cardiac jerk. Manvi looked in front and smiled seeing the person.

Manvi murmured "tum aa gaye mujhe pata tha tum aaoge ab le chalo aur nahi bhugatni saza" she closed her eyes.

The machine stopped beating a long scratching voice.

"Manvi.." Vineet shouts.

Doctor said "sir she is no more" And all were having tears they lost their another family member.

"chali gayi yeh Aarav ke paas apni jaan ke paas shayad issi din ka intezar kar rahi thi wo" Ruhana said with teary voice.

"shayad sach mei zindagi saza thi iske liye" all looked at Manvi who was smiling team were having tears in their eyes.

Few months later in office, two pictures were hanging on wall beside each other with garland on it.

Everyone stood in front of them and kept a flower with tears in their eyes.

Vineet said "toh aakhir kaar tum dono saath ho sahi kaha hai tum dono ek dusre ke bina adhure ho aur ek ke jaane ke baad dusre ki zindagi saza hi ban jaati hai aur bas intezar hai kab wo saza puri hogi Manvi Aarav tum dono kho gaye ho lekin jaha bhi ho saath ho yahi badi baat hai" and tears escaped down his eyes

Ruhana placed her head on his shoulder with teary eyes remembering them.

Life is not breathing its living with your life if there is no life remaining in you. you are worst than death.

......... The End.......

Thankyou....
