Many news reporter were around them, Ahana and Aarav pushed them and rang the bell. The door opened and they entered inside locking the door.

Aarav looked at Virat and asked "ye sab kya hai?"

"Mera koi competitor ne mere peeche ek spy chod rakha tha.. Jab main tumhare ghar pe tha wo nazar rakhke hue tha kab hum wapas aayenge.. Aur usne hi Manvi ki khabar.. Phir hotel mein drama sab kuch kiya.. And I lost everything.." he said dejectly.

He sat down on couch with thud, his eyes were teary. Aarav comforted him.

Virat looked towards him.. "10 saal lage mujhe yahan aane mein Aarav aur ek jhatke mein sab khatam.." he was broken.

"Kal ye ghar nahi rahega mere paas.. Kuch bhi nahi rahega" he said tearily.

"Kya kuch nahi kar sakte??" Aarav asked.

"Nahi Aarav.. Koi mujhe market mein paisa dene ko taiyar nahi hai.. Jisse main at least apna ghar bacha sakun.. " Virat said sighing in disappointment.

Ahana was feeling bad for him, her eyes became watery. Why? She was not aware of her feelings towards him.

She rolled her eyeballs, she was looking for Manvi but she was nowhere to be found. She thought maybe Manvi is inside the room. She headed into her room, Manvi was sitting down on bed with hiding her face in between her hands.

Ahana moved forward and sat beside her, she kept her hand on her shoulder. Manvi looked up at her with teary eyes. She hugged her immediately.. "Sab khatam ho gaya Ahana.. Meri wajah se sab khatam ho gaya" she bursts out crying.

"Nahi.. tumhari galti nahi hai Manvi.. Kisine iss cruel situation ka fayda uthaya aur phir ye sab ho gaya.." Ahana exclaimed trying to calm her down.

"Bhai... unko dekha hai maine how much he had worked hard to reach here and meri bas ek galti ki wajah se hi lost everything"

Ahana said "don't cry.. Sab thik hoga.."

Manvi looked at her and asked "kaise? Haan? Kal ye ghar nahi hoga bhai ka hotel nahi hoga sab khatam Virat Goenka jo naam tha wo bhi kho jayega"

"No.. please don't think like this" Ahana requested her.

Manvi sighed.. "I hate myself Ahana.. Meri wajah se mera bhai suffer kar raha hai" she replied.

Ahana held her hand and said "shant.. Relax.. Sab thik hoga hmm"

Manvi looked at her silently and nodded..

"Ye batao kuch khaya tumne?" she asked.

Manvi denied..

Ahana stood up and moved out of the room. Aarav was not there, she headed into the kitchen and found Aarav looking for something.

"Kya dhundh rahe ho bhai?" Ahana asked.

"Ye dono ne kalse kuch khaya peeya nahi hai kuch banane ki soch raha tha.. But I can't find anything" Aarav replied while looking at her.

"Tumhara kitchen nahi hai ye.. Mujhe pata hai tum jao bahar main banati hun" Ahana suggested.

He nodded and left. Ahana took out some groceries and prepared something. She use to come here with Manvi during college days. They were in different field but in same college.

After half an hour, she moved out and kept the food on the dining table.

Aarav saw her, he said "Virat chalo kuch khalo"

"I am not hungry" he replied.

"Bhookhe rahoge toh ladni ki taakat kaha se aayegi? Don't be a stubborn kid khalo kuch" Aarav again said convincingly.

Virat still being stubborn, Aarav pulled him and dragged him to the dining table.

Ahana glared at him.. "Virat tumhe pata hai na jabtak tum nahi khaoge Manvi bhi nahi khana khane waali hai.." she said.

Virat glanced at her. He took the plate and filled it with food. He stood up and headed into his sister's room.

Ahana smiled seeing this..

"Kya baat hai behna... bahut asar ho raha hai ispe tumhari baaton ka" Aarav said teasingly.

Ahana looked at him.. "Shut up bhai.."

"Yahan itni.. Serious situation hai aur tum aisi baat kar rahe ho" Ahana said angrily.

Aarav looked at her and asked "maine kya galat kaha hai Ahana? I know what is the situation tum kyun itna gussa kar rahi ho?"

Ahana looked at him silently, whenever her brother says something she use to smile and join him but she was getting angry.

"Tu maan ya na maan but tujhe Virat se pyar ho gaya hai.. Isliye tujhe itna khayal hai uska.. Maine dekha tha how you had tears in your eyes" Aarav said trying to alert her about her feelings for Virat.

"Aisa nahi hai.." Ahana still denied

"Manvi meri dost hai aur uske liye main yahan aayi hun.. Tum khana khao chup chap zyada apna deemag nahi chalao" Ahana said strictly.

Aarav sat down on chair and sighed deeply.. "Koi kadar hi nahi hai bade bhai ki.. Maa ki tarah hukum chalati hai.."

"Tum pyar se sunte kaha ho" Ahana replied.

He made face...

Manvi's room

Virat sat beside Manvi forwarded the plate.. "Khana kha.." he said.

"Nahi khana" she replied stubbornly..

"Zid mat kar faltu ki.. Chup chap khana kha" he said scolding her.

"Kyun? Aapne khaya jo main khau?" she asked raising her voice.

"Tune bhi toh nahi khaya na.. Kal se kuch" he commanded more loudly.

Manvi sighed "nahi khana mujhe.."

"Mujhe bhi nahi khana phir" he kept the plate at a side and sat with silence. After 5 minutes, Manvi pulled the plate and started eating.

"Khaya maine.. Aap bhi khao" she ordered.

He looked at her and smiled lightly. They had the food together. Aarav and Ahana smiled seeing this standing at the door.

Aarav, Ahana decided to stay with them tonight. But none could sleep as tomorrow was the auction.

The next morning 9 am, the auction had began. The auction was held right in front of the house at the garden.

"Aaj hum yahan hai.. For auction of Goenka Properties. Starting with Goenka Villa.. Yani ye ghar starting at 5 million" the host announced.

Finally the house was sold for 20 million and hotel and the office was taken over by another big industrialist.

Virat closed his eyes and tears slipped down from his eyes. "It is all over.." he had nothing left. He was bankrupt.

Manvi looked outside and saw someone, she was left shocked the person. She rushed to Virat..

"Bhai.. ye ghar" she said

He looked at her and said "ab ye ghar hamara nahi raha hai.. Sab chala gaya hamare saath se.."

"Bhai please.. Sab thik ho jayega" she said with teary eyes.

He looked at her and shouted "thik ho jayega? Kya thik ho jayega haan? zaroorat kya thi hotel jaane ki? Mana kar raha tha na main maan leti toh ye sab nahi hota.. But nahi karni toh apne mann ki hi hai tumhe" he was not in senses. He had lost his control because of mental stress.

He blended out his anger and emotions and blamed Manvi for everything. "Just leave me alone.. Tumhe bachate bachate bachate main barbad ho gaya.." he said such harsh words.

Manvi was hurt deeply with his words. Tears slipped down from her eyes, she left the house.

Aarav glanced at Virat and shouted "have you gone mad Virat?? Tumhe hosh bhi hai kya kaha hai tumne.."

Virat looked at him.. He realised what he spoke. He sighed... "damm.."

He moved out of the house and searched for Manvi but she was nowhere to be found. It started to rain heavily. He was getting worried now. "Manvi" he shouted for her in lonely streets.

He gets on knees and tears sleeps down from his eyes. He was getting drenched into the rain and his tears were mixing with rain drops. He was broken because he lost everything and vented out his anger on his sister who herself had suffered a lot.

He never meant to say all that to her. Someone kept hand on his shoulder. He looked up it was Aarav.

"Aarav I blamed her.. I never meant that agar wo bhi chali gayi to I won't be able to live" he said with teary eyes.

Aarav made him stand.. "I will find her.. Tum ghar Chalo" aarav said.

Virat denied.. "no"

"virat please tum state mein nhi ho.. Ki manvi ko dhundh sako please ghar jao I promise I will get her" Aarav assured her.

He held his hand and made him sit inside the car. Ahana said "bhai mujhe call karna"

Aarav nodded. Ahana drove off to her home along with Virat.

Aarav sat on his bike And started looking for Manvi. He was unable to find her, he searched all the possible places.

"kaha chali gayi ye..." he thought.
