Aarav got the food for Manvi, "ye lo kha lena.. Please apne nasuk haatho se banaya hai maine" he said trying to light up her mood and make her smile.

She pulled the plate towards her and starts eating. He smiled, she asked "Aap bhi khayie na"

"Nahi tum khalo.. Warna tumhe kum rah jayega main kha lunga toh" Aarav said.

She smiled slightly at his words. He glanced at her and said "tumhe toh muskurana aata hai"

She looked at him bewildered "ji?"

"Aur kya.. Jabse aayi ho ganga jamuna hi bahati rehti ho.... But if you have such a cute smile then smile na" he said making her feel comfortable.

"Kismat jab dard takleef deti hai na toh ye muskan kisi kaam ki nahi hoti" she said with painful voice.

"Are.. tumne toh bataya nahi how was parathe?" he asked trying to divert her from all this.

"Ache they" she replied.

"Sirf ache? Tumhe toh meri tareef bhi nahi karni aati hai Manvi. Ahana hoti na toh kehti bhai kya parathe hai.. Mann karta hai aapse daily yahi banwake kahun... aapko doctor kisne banaya chef hona chahiye tha aapko" he said mimicking her.

She laughed seeing his actions. A smile appeared on his face finally something made her smile.

"Sahi kehti hai Ahana.. Doctor serious hote hai aap toh bilkul nhi hai" she replied.

"Are baba.. Agar main serious ho jaunga toh baaki sab doctors aur mujhe farak kya rah jayega? I want to be different.." he said.

He cracked some silly jokes to which Manvi smiled.

Ahana saw this and smile appeared on her face, finally after a month her life was getting to track.

She turned and found Virat standing there. His eyes were filled with tears as his sister was smiling being with Aarav but not even recognizing him. This hurted him badly, he moved upstairs hitting the table in anger.

Ahana sighed.. "Ab isko samjhana padega.." she took a deep breath.

Virat moved upstairs and threw the vase on the floor in anger. He was happy to see the smile on Manvi's face but she was far from him. Not even recognising him. This hurted him most...

Flashback

It was late night, Virat had not yet returned from office.

Manvi was boiling in anger "hadh hoti hai.. Kaha tha maine ki aaj time pe aa jaana bhai par nahi.. Kaam karenge toh mera dhyan kaha rahega unhe" she murmured to herself.

She was walking to and fro in the hall. The doorbell rings, she glared at the door and smirked "aa gaye laad governor"

She moved to the door and asked "kaun hai?"

"Manvi it is me Virat aur kaun hoga?" he replied.

"Acha.. ghar aaye kyun office mein hi rahi jaate" Manvi taunted.

"Dekh gussa mat kar... bahut zaroori kaam tha hum kal chalenge na movie dekhne" he said trying to convince her.

But she was not ready to listen to his excuses "Oh no bhai.. Aapka roj ka yahi hai office mein hotel mein mujhe daantna ghar aake bhi apna hukum chalana.. Meri baat sunte nahi ho aap kitne mahino baad aapse pyar se kahan bhai mere mujhe ek picture dikhado tickets book kar diye and you.. Arghh.. Ab raho ghar ke bahar yahi saza hai aapki" she said loudly folding her hands around her chest.

Virat sighed, he controlled his anger and said "Manvi.. Darwaza kholde.. Acha nhi lagta hai ghar ka maalik ghar ke bahar khada rahe"

"No I am not opening the door and not talking to you.. Aapko meri zara si bhi padi nahi hai khade raho ghar ke bahar saari raat and do your work" Manvi complained.

She moved to her room in anger and closed the door with bang. Virat shouted "Are darwaza toh khol.." but it was no use.

He sighed and thought "gussa toh firasat mein mila hai mujhse ise.."

"Ab isko manao.. Lekin usse pehle ghar ke andar kaise jau.. Madamji ne lock karke rakha hai" he said.

It has been 20 minutes, since he had been standing there. He kept on ringing the doorbell but Manvi was adamant at her decision.

He moved to the backyard, a window was open. He smiled "thank god it is open" he jumped inside the house.

He shook his head and said "apne hi ghar mein khidki se gusna pad raha hai"

He straight moved to Manvi's room. He opened the door and found her sleeping holding the tv remote in her hand with half lying down.

He removed the remote from her hand, turned off the television. He made her lay properly keeping her head above the pillow, covered her with blanket. He moved but she had held his hand tightly. He smiled, he tried to remove his hand but stopped "neend kharab karunga toh aur gussa ho jayegi.. Aise hi rehne deta hun"

The next morning, Manvi opened her eyes. She looked and found Virat sleeping keeping his head at bedrest and in sitting position. She stood up, with this Virat also opened his eyes.

"Are you mad bhai? Mujhe uthaya kyun nahi aapne? Aur aap andar kaise aaye gharke? Aise sone ki kya zaroorat thi? Ab office mein kaise kaam karoge? Iska frustration bechare employees pe niklega na aapka?" she asked too many questions non-stop in one breath.

He shut her up with "Enough. Kitne sawal karogi.. Shuru hoti ho toh kisiko bolne nhi deti ho" he said in loud tone.

Manvi made face.. "Ab tumne mera haath pakda tha sote hue.. Main kya karta? Utha deta toh aur bhadak jaati tum" he said.

"Okay sorry" she said not looking at him.

"I am sorry baba.. Aaj chalte hai na movie ke liye" he said.

"No thank you I am not interested aaj mujhe bahut kaam hai" she taunted. She stood up from bed and moved out.

Virat followed her "behena. Itna bhi gussa mat kar.. Sar phat jayega tera" he said

Manvi turned to him and said "kya karun.. Aapse hi seekha hai sab.."

"Are.. acha thik hai aaj main office nhi jaata hun we will go and have fun.. Tumhe shopping bhi karwa dunga picture bhi dikha dunga.. Ab please hasde.." Virat said trying to convince her.

Manvi smiled broadly hearing this, she moved closer to him and asked "pakka? Shopping karwaoge?"

"Haan.. karwani hi padegi I have no other choice, ek tum hi toh ho jo mera bank balance kum karti ho. Ye baat hamesha yaad rahegi mujhe" he said.

"Wo toh aapke paas hogi bhi nahi.. Na main aapko bhoolne dungi aur na khud bhoolungi" she said winking at him.

He came out trance of his thought with a light smile on his face.. "Tum toh khud hi mujhe bhool gayi.."

"Virat.." Ahana said while entering in.

He glanced at her and asked "what?"

"Don't be so rude.." she said.

"Ahana.. Please abhi main bahut pareshan hun don't irritate me" he said in calm tone.

"I know what is your problem Virat... mujhe pata hai tumhe bura lag raha hai Manvi Aarav ke saath comfortable hai aur tumhe apne paas tak nahi aane de rahi hai" she said while sitting beside him.

"Exactly.. Ek mahina Ahana.. I want to hug her.. Uski zid puri karna chahta hun sab karna chahta hun but she.." he paused when he could not control his emotions. Tears slipped down from his eyes.

Ahana pulled him into a hug and consoled him.. "Viratji, please.. Main nahi jaanti thi aap aise toot bhi sakte hai.. Jaldi sab thik ho jayega kismat aakhir kab tak aapko usse door rakhegi" she said.

Aarav entered inside and saw them, he smiled and said "Ahana.."

They get apart, Aarav said "I think ye sahi waqt hai.. Virat jao neeche apni behen ke paas"

Virat looked at him bewildered "Aarav.. Are you sure?" he asked.

"Yes I am sure.. Just go.." Aarav said..

"Aur na please gussa mat karna bilkul bhi you have to be calm" Ahana said in warning tone.

Virat nodded and moved downstairs...

"Bhai tumhe kya lagta hai? Ab sab thik hoga?" Ahana questioned..

"Hoga Ahana.. She is getting out of trauma.. Let's hope for a positive sign" he said with a light smile..
