Manvi was sitting down inside her cabin, she was lost in her own thoughts. Tears slipped down from her eyes.

She looked at the corner, where her designed model of Shimla project placed. She wiped her tears immediately.

"Bhai se puchti hun kab shuru karna hai.." she dialled his number but he was not picking up the call.

She thought he must be busy at the meeting. "Project ka plan bana leti hun.."

She took the laptop and started preparing, it has been almost 3 hours she been doing it. A smile appeared on her face when it was completed.

"Ab ghar jaake bhai ko dikhaungi he will be really happy seeing this" she said with a smile on her face.

She saw something from her cabin, she moved outside and saw a customer arguing to the hotel staff.

"Ye kya ho raha hai?" she shouted..

Everyone looked at her, "maine hotel ki booking ki thi 3 din ki but ab mujhe yahan nahi stay karna hai aur ye ab mera paisa nahi lauta rahe hai" the customer said.

"Any problem? Hum logo se koi galti hui hai?" she asked calmly.

"Dekho madam.. Ye hotel bahut badnaam ho chuka hai mujhe yahan nahi rehna mera paisa wapas karo abhi ke abhi" he said rudely.

Manvi sighed deeply.

"Mam.. inhone hamare hotel mein kaafi drinks wagera li hai and uska bill toh pay karna padega na" the staff informed.

"Service and baaki jo extra hai wo minus karke cash return kardo" Manvi informed and left from there.

She was feeling angered with herself all because of her, her brother's business is at risk.

Someone smirked and called "haan.. Abtak sab plan ke hisab se ho raha hai.. Ab dekhna Virat Goenka kaise sadak pe aata hai.. Thanks to his sister Manvi"

One of the staff, Sneha entered inside Manvi's cabin. "Mam jaldi se tv on kijiye" she said in panic tone.

Manvi turned on the television, and was shocked seeing the news.

"Jee haan.. Ye hai hotel Grand Season ke staff ki asliyat, customers se kaise jhagde hote hai aur phir kaise unse paise vasool karte hai extra bill banake.. Suniye Manvi Goenka ke muh se..." the reporter said.

Service and baaki jo extra hai wo minus karke cash return kardo" Manvi informed

"What the hell??" Manvi stood up seeing all this.

"Itne saalo se na jaane inhone kitna paisa apne accounts mein nahi daala hoga.. Black money hoga pehle wo hadsa aur ab ye.. This hotel should be closed for public safety" the reporter demanded.

Manvi turned off the television. She picked up her things and left from there immediately.

She reached home in half an hour, she found house unlocked. It seemed Virat was already at home. She was bewildered why he is at home at this time. Maybe something had happened in the office.

She marched inside and found Virat sitting on the couch with closed eyes. She sat down beside him.. "Bhai.." she called..

He opened his eyes and turned towards her.. "Tu.. itni jaldi kaise aa gayi wapas?" he asked

"Aap bhi toh jaldi aa gaye ho kuch hua kya office mein?" she asked looking at him keenly.

Virat glanced at her silently.

At the office

The conference was called..

"Mr. Virat Goenka shareholders are really upset because day by day market mein aapke hotel ke shares girte jaa rahe hai.."

"Bad time sabka aata hai.. We will definitely improve" Virat said convincingly.

"Virat.. I don't think shimla wala project tum ab handle kar paoge.." the client said.

Virat was shocked hearing this.. "No.. of course main kar sakta hun" he said firmly.

"Mujhe mera paisa wapas chahiye I will rather invest in some other business," he said.

"Aap aise kaise last moment pe back off kar sakte hai? Mere paas jitna tha sab maine invest kar diya I have paid advance to others builders and sab kuch main kar chuka hun construction bhi shuru hone wala hai" Virat said convincingly.

"Sorry Virat.. Someone had offered me higher dividend and I will invest there sirf ek hafta deta hun tumhe mera paisa mujhe wapas karo warna I will take other way" he informed and left.

Virat was left shocked hearing this. He is in bad time and everyone is backing off. He banged his hand on the table in anger.

He came out from trance of his thoughts. Manvi asked "batao na bhai?"

"Kuch nahi.. Aaj kaam jaldi ho gaya toh main aa gaya wapas" for the first time he lied to her as he did not wanted to break her heart by telling her the truth.

The shimla project, was her dream. Manvi smiled lightly "I want to show you something.." she said excitedly.

"Kya?" he asked.

Manvi took out the laptop and opened the presentation "ye dekho.. Bhai I have prepared everything.. It will Shimla's bestest hotel main khud waha jaungi aur dekhungi sab kaam ache se ho maine toh staffs list bhi select kar li hai jo best honge aur kuch hum waha ke locals higher karenge jo jobless ho this will be best and aapka naam aur bada hoga" she said dreamily.

Virat smiled fakely, she had planned everything but it is all waste because they lost the opportunity and he have to return investors the money ASAP.

She herself is suffering from her own stress and recent incident, he did not want to break her further so decided to keep this secret for time being.

"Bhai.. main bole jaa rahi hun.. Aap sun rahe ho ki nahi?" she asked.

Virat nodded with a smile "sun raha hun.. Bas mera nuksan mat karwana.." he said teasingly.

Manvi glared at him.. She smiled hiding the pain "nahi karaungi"

She thought, should she inform him about what happened today. He already looks tensed because of the news. No, she decided to keep quiet for time being and handle the things of her own.

"Chal.. aaj dinner bahar karte hai" Virat informed.

Manvi agreed.. "Main change karke aati hun" she moved to her room.

They left for dinner at their favourite restaurant.

City Hospital

Due to an emergency, Ahana had been in hospital from past 14 hours and treating patients.

Aarav meet one of his patients, she thanked him "thank you doctor Aarav.. You helped me warna sab toh mujhe paagal hi samajh rahe they"

"Paagal nahi hota hai koi.. Usko trauma kehte hai lekin aam logo ke liye pagalpan hota hai.. And maine jo kiya wo meri duty thi" Aarav said with a smile.

He talked with her a bit more and left.

Finally, Ahana was free, she was sitting inside her cabin with closed eyes. Aarav marched inside and looked at her.

She was so much tired. He moved to her and pressed her head. Within a few minutes, she felt relaxed "bhai tumhara head massage best hai.."

"Wo toh hai.. Uske liye I need a treat kyun?" he asked.

Ahana opened her eyes and smiled.. "Haan kyun nahi.."

"Chal phir meri favourite jagah" Aarav said smilingly.

Ahana denied "no bhai.. Main nahi jaa rahi hun waha it is too boring"

"Shut up.. We are going bahut kaam ho gaya chal ab" he said, while holding her hand.

Ahana stood up helplessly. They left the hospital and Aarav's favourite place that is roadside street food.

Ahana hated this place but only came here for him.

They sat down on bench.. "Bhai.. fatafat do plate pav bhaji laga spicy waali" he ordered.

"Nahi.. mujhe nahi khana spicy" Ahana said denying.

"Khale.. Subah se bahut kaam kar rahi hai kuch toh teekha kha" Aarav replied.

Ahana sighed.. The pav bhaji plate arrived and they both ate and were enjoying the siblings time.

It has been a month, Virat was unable to pay back the investors and shareholders as hotel services had been dropped badly by 50%.

Virat was suffering from a huge loss, due to media interference. The staff even protested because the monthly salary was not paid. 

A fine morning, Aarav was reading the newspaper and was left shocked seeing the headline "What??"

"Ahana.." he shouted.

Ahana came running and asked "kya hua bhai?"

"See.. auction of Goenka Properties tomorrow" he said showing her the newspaper.

Ahana looked and was left surprised "what? Oh my god.. Bhai humhe waha jaana chahiye they need someone" Ahana said.

"Haan.. chalo chalte hai.." Aarav agreed.

They left for Virat's home. They arrived there in half an hour and were left shocked. They glanced at each other.
