Virat looked at Manvi, she said "bhai.. I thought ye.."

"It is fine" Aarav said and moved out of the room.

Manvi said "bhai mujhe ghar jaana hai aapne mujhe yahan kyun rakha?"

Virat looked on at her for while. "Manvi ghar chalenge Ahana permission degi tab" he said.

"But.." Manvi said.

"No arguments.. Tum aaram karo" Virat said glaring at her.

She nodded and moved to bed. She lay down, Virat caressed her head.

"Apne ghar jayenge na?" she asked again.

"Haan jayenge" he replied.

She closed her eyes, within a few minutes she slept.

At Hall

Aarav was sitting down on the sofa, he was lost in his own thoughts. Ahana came out of the kitchen. She glanced at Aarav whose head was bleeding. She understood who must have done it.

"Ye bhai behen na kabhi cheezein todte hai toh kabhi sar" she murmured.

She took the first aid box and sat beside him. She took out the cotton and applied dettol. She started cleaning his wound. He flinched in pain... "Aah.."

He glanced at her "itni zorke dabate hai kya.." he said angrily.

"Chup raho bhai tum.. Kitna khoon nikal raha hai let me bandage" she said scolding him.

He said "aise dant mat mujhe ghar mein aur do log hai"

"Aur ek ki wajah se tumhe chot lagi hai.. Jab dekho dono bhai behen hyper rehte hai shanti se koi kaam kar hi nhi sakte huh" Ahana said irritadely.

Aarav smiled lightly, Ahana noticed his smile. She asked "isme muskurane wali kya baat hai?"

"Hyper Virat ko tune shant kar diya.. Lagta hai pyar vyar ho gaya hai tujhse" he said.

Ahana looked at him in shock, she pressed his wound in anger. "Ouch.. ye jaanbhujhke kiya tune" he said fawning.

"Yes I did.. Faltu ki baat mat bolo tum.. Koi pyar vyar nahi hai Manvi ko sab yaad aa gaya hai ab dono ko ghar bhejo.. Mujhe aur nuksan nahi chahiye mere ghar mein" Ahana replied.

"Ahana.. This is rude.. Manvi dost hai na tumhari" he said calmly.

"Hai bhai but koi aapko hurt kare ye mujhe bardasht nahi hai chahe wo meri dost hi kyun na ho" Ahana said crossing her arms around her chest.

"Meri pyari behna.. Aise nahi bol.. You know na what happened with her" he said.

Ahana glanced at him and said "mujhe achi tarah se pata hai bhai.. And I want to get out of all this aur wo tabhi hoga na jab wo wapas hotel sambhale.. Apna new project handle kare"

"I can't take her home" they heard Virat's voice.

Aarav asked "why not??"

"Bas nahi le jaa sakta hun.. Usko yahi rehne do" Virat said

Ahana stood up and asked "aur wo maan jayegi?"

"Usko maanna hoga.. Yahan laane ki wajah bhi thi" he informed.

"Haan wo trauma mein thi tumhe pehchan nhi rahi thi lekin ab wo thik hai toh ghar le jaane mein kya dikkat hai tumhe?" Ahana asked doubtfully.

"Wo le jayega Ahana.." Aarav said.

He then looked at Virat "le jao ghar usko.. Tum ab ache se sambhal sakte ho usko you don't need us" he informed.

Virat sighed "tum dono samajh nahi rahe ho.. I can't take her home"

"Kyun nahi jaa sakte bhai?" Manvi asked while coming out of the room.

Virat turned and looked at her. "Manvi.. Abhi tum.."

"I am fine bhai.. Mujhe ab doctor ki zaroorat nahi hai I need only you.. Please ghar chalo" she requested holding his hand.

"Thik hai chal.." he said finally convinced.

She looked behind at Aarav. She moved to him, he looked at her "sorry for this.." she said pointing towards his wound.

"It is fine.. Take care" Aarav said.

Manvi looked at Ahana and said "meri aur bhai ki wajah bahut pareshan hui tum.."

"Zyada nahi bas tod phod hui thodi bahut" she said looking at Virat.

Manvi smiled lightly and hugged her "thanks Ahana.."

"Take care.. And remember if you need me just call I will be there" she said.

Manvi nodded, Aarav noticed Virat's tensed look. Virat and Manvi stepped out of the house.

The sun shined into Manvi's eyes, she closed her eyes as it pinched her eyes.

"Kya hua?" Virat asked.

"Kuch nahi bhai.. Kaafi time baad ye suraj ki roshni.." she said sadly.

He held her hand and said "main hun na.. Chal"

She nodded and they walked ahead. Virat opened the car door, Manvi sat inside. He closed the door and came to driving side. He sat inside and dozed off.

Aarav and Ahana watched them, Aarav was thinking something.

Ahana asked "kya soch rahe ho bhai?"

"Kuch toh hai Ahana.. Virat force kyun kar raha tha Manvi ko yahan rukne ke liye" Aarav shared his doubt.

"Pata nahi bhai.. Wahi jaane kya chalta rehta hai uske deemag mein.. Abhi humhe bhi hospital chalna chahiye chalo" Ahana said.

Aarav nodded and they left for their work.

Manvi looked at Virat, she asked "bhai? Main kabse thi Ahana ke ghar?"

"Ek Mahina Manvi" he informed.

Manvi sighed "aur ek mahina mujhe aap yaad nahi they.. Kaise bhool gayi main aapko"

"Chodo na Manvi.. Jo hua use bhool jao abhi tumhe jaake apna kaam sambhalna hai yaad hai na? Shimla waala project?" he asked trying to cheer her up.

"Pata nahi bhai... main ab ye sab kar paungi ki nahi" she said dejectely.

"Kyun nahi karegi? Virat Goenka ki behen hai tu mujhse better karegi.. Ek hadsa teri kamyabi nahi rok sakta hai samjhi" he explained to her.

Manvi nodded with a light smile.

Virat smiled to himself as he followed Ahana's advise. He had to be calm in handling Manvi and bring her back to life. He thought.. "Main ahana ki baatein itni kyun maanne laga hun.."

After half an hour, he stopped the car in front of their house. Manvi got down, followed by Virat and they entered inside. Virat immediately closed the door.

A person saw them and smiled, he called someone "haan.. Ek mahine baad wapas aa gaye hai dono apne ghar.. Thik hai"

Manvi sat down on the couch, the incident she tried to forget it but she could not. She won't be able to get it out of her mind forever. Virat sat beside her and kept his hand around her shoulder "mat soch.."

Her eyes were teary "nhi bhool sakti bhai wo haadsa main.. Chaar log.. Zara sa bhi raham nhi kiya mujhpe.. Wahi marne ke liye chod diya ek pal ke liye aisa laga main aapko kabhi dekh hi nhi paungi"

She looked down, Virat lifted her face up and hugged her. "Aise kaise nahi dekh paati hmm.. Saath hun na main tere.. Aur abhi tum apna pura dhyan project pe lagao samjhi mujhe koi mistake nahi chahiye project mein warna naukri se nikal dunga main"

She looked up at him and smiled lightly.. "Nikal ke dikhao ghar mein entry ban kar dungi phir main"

He wiped her tears "now that is like my sister.." he kissed her forehead.

"Bhai main kalse hotel jaungi kaam karungi toh ye sab jaldi bhool paungi" she said.

"Thik hai.. Chalna abhi tum aaram karo I will cook something" he said.

Manvi nodded and stood up. She moved to her room, Virat was left tensed. "Itni muskil se tum sambhal rahi hoi.. Main tujhe mana karke feel nahi karwana chahta.. I just hope jo main soch raha hoon waisa na ho"

Aarav's Home

Aarav prepared the dinner, he shouted "Ahana dinner is ready.."

Ahana came out of the room and said on the dining table "Are.. bhai wo angry bird ko phone karke pucho toh kaisi hai Manvi" she said.

Aarav glanced at her and burst out laughing "Angry bird.."

"Yea.. 24 hours gussa naak pe rehta hai.. Isliye angry bird.. Kuch dino baad jab sab set ho jayega pure paise vasool karne waali hun main usse mere ghar mein jo tod phod ki hai usne uske" Ahana said while having food.

"Ahana.. Paagal hai kya.. Main sab naya laa dunga na koi zaroorat nahi hai paise lene ki" Aarav replied.

"Oh no.. tum zyada dayalu mat bano bhai.. Sajaya ye ghar kitni mehnat se hai aur wo sab kharab karke gaya hai vasool toh karungi main" Ahana said stubbornly.

"Thik hai tujhse behas karni bekar hai" Aarav said.

"Toh karte kyun ho?" she asked with a smirk.

"Kabhi kabhi mujhe lagta hai main tera bada bhai nahi hun jab dekho mujhse zaban ladati hai" Aarav said.

"Birthright hai mera.." Ahana replied.

Aarav gave her a angry look, Ahana laughed at this.

"Meri toh koi value hi nahi hai iss ghar mein huh.." Aarav said mocking anger.

"Aww bhai.. Tum na bahut zyada hi cute ho.. Gussa karna aata nhi hai tumhe toh karne ki koshish mat karo" Ahana said teasingly.

Aarav smiled at this and both had a light conversation.

The next morning, Manvi got ready to leave for work. She was nervous, she took a deep breath "Manvi.. Remember teri galti nhi hai kuch... sab normal hai.. Relax teri wajah se bhai ko koi problem nhi honi chahiye.."

She stepped out of the room with a smile on her face. Virat was waiting for her..

"Let's go bhai" She said.

Virat smiled and they moved out of the house locking it.

They arrived at the hotel in 20 minutes. Virat came out first and walked ahead. He stopped and turned at Manvi.

He was left stunned seeing the scenario in front of him. His fear came true.
