Manvi woke up, she looked around and found Ahana standing in front of her crossing her arms around her chest.

She looked at her "Ahana.." she said.

Ahana got angry and scolded her "have you lost it Manvi? How can you be so stupid??"

Manvi understood why she was angry at her. She looks down in guilt. Ahana eyed her "meri taraf dekho Manvi"

She looked at her silently. She hits her head "paagal ho gayi ho kya tum?? Bina soche samjhe decision le leti ho tum.. Agar kuch ho jaata toh? " she asked confronting her.

"Why are you scolding my sister?" Virat asked entering inside.

"Toh kya karun? Tumhari behen pyar se samajhti kaha hai" Ahana replied.

"But tum usko daant nahi sakti ho ye haq sirf mera hai" Virat said angrily.

"Oh really?? She is my best friend toh main usko daant sakti hun samjhe tum" Ahana argued with him.

"No you can't... subah subah hi chilla rahi ho uspe.. Haalat toh dekho uski" Virat said.

"She is perfectly fine.. But iske brain mein defect hai." Ahana said looking at Manvi.

"Ahana.. Stop it.. Meri behen ki baare mein ek shabd nahi sununga main"

Manvi finally interrupted "offo aap dono ladna band karo"

Ahana replied "tumhare bhai ko bolo interfere na kare hum dono ke beech"

"Why should not I?? Tumse pehle haq mera hai Manvi pe" he said

"Dekho tum mujhse lado mat samjhe.. Apni behen ko samjhalo fir aise stupid harkat ki toh main hi ise maar dungi.." Ahana said eyeing at Manvi.

Manvi looked at her with open mouth. "Argh.. aap dono na.." she stood up and moved out of the room.

Virat eyed at Ahana.. "Tumhari wajah se wo gussa hoke chali gayi" he said angrily.

"Jee nahi tumhari wajah se gayi hai.." Ahana argued.

Manvi moved out and collided with Aarav. Aarav held her before she could fall. They looked at each other and their eyes meet. Aarav seemed to be lost in her eyes.

Manvi broke the eyelook with "sorry"

He made her stand and asked "kaha jaa rahi ho itni jald baaji mein?"

"Aapse matlab?" she asked angrily.

He glanced at her "Are ye kya reply hua? Gussa kyun ho?" he asked politely.

"Main gussa nahi hun" she gave an abrupt reply and walked out of the house. Aarav followed her.

She turned and asked "mera peecha kyun kar rahe ho aap?"

"Tumhara bharosa nahi kab suicide karne nikal pado" he said teasingly.

She stamped her foot in anger.. "Aisa kuch nahi karne jaa rahi hun main" she said.

"Toh kaha jaa rahi ho?" he asked.

"Aapse matlab.. Mera peecha mat karo aap" She said a bit angrily.

She walked ahead and he followed her. She sighed, she turned and walked back into the house.

A smile appeared on his face "I know your mind Manvi.. Iss samay tum khudko sabke liye zimmedar maan rahi ho and want to get away from all this but I won't let you run"

Ahana came out and kept her hand on his shoulder "bhai.. Tumhe nahi lagta tum kuch zyada hi Manvi ki care kar rahe ho"

Aarav looked at her and replied "so what?? Dost hai tumhari and meri patient bhi"

Ahana glared at him.. "Ab mujhse toh jhooth bolo hi mat tum.. Dost se zyda hai wo tumhare liye haina?" she asked.

Aarav gave her a look "Aisa kuch nahi hai Ahana.. Tum na hospital jao apne patients dekho"

Ahana asked "ghar mein do patients sambhal jayenge aapse?"

Aarav gave her a confused look.

Ahana replied "Wo virat kise patient se kum bhi nahi hai.."

Aarav smiled... "tu hai na use sambhalne ke liye"

"Main?? Mujhe aur bhi kaam hai main chali hospital" Ahana moved out of the house taking the car.

Aarav went back inside and saw Virat getting ready. He asked "kaha jaa rahe ho Virat??"

"Aarav main aise nahi baith sakta hun.. I want everything back.. Mera reputation mera ghar sab kuch.. Kuch logo se milne jaa raha hun tum please Manvi ka khayal rakhna" Virat exclaimed.

"Don't worry I will take care of her.." Aarav assured him.

Virat left to meet some people maybe they could help him financially.

Virat visited one of his old friend office. His name was Ronit Rai.

Ronit looked at him and smiled "Virat.. Kaise ho dost??"

"I am fine Ronit" he replied.

Ronit said "Aao baitho na..."

Virat settled down in front of him. Ronit asked "kaise aana hua tumhara?"

"Ronit.. I need your help.. Tum mujhe kuch investment de sako toh.." Virat asked looking at him.

The smile from Ronit's face vanished.. "Sorry Virat.. Main zaroor tumhari help karta but maine recently hi new project mein invest kiya hai.. I don't have the amount."

Virat's hope shattered. He stood up.. "Thanks.."

Just then the manager entered inside "Sir.. wo Grand seasons hotel ke shares khareede hai.. Ye papers pe sign kijiye"

Virat got angry hearing this. He moved to Ronit and held him by collars "tere paas toh they nahi na paise??"

"Virat.. Collar chod mera.. Teri aukat nahi hai isko pakadne ki samjhe.." he said taunting him.

"Shut up.." he yelled at him. "Teri madad ki thi na.. Jab tune apna business shuru kiya tha aur aaj tu mere hi hotel ke shares khareed raha hai"

Ronit smiled sarcastically. "Ab tera hotel nahi hai wo.. Samjha.."

Virat left him as there is no point of arguing and create a further scene. He turned and moved.

The manager said "sir.. Waise agar iski behen aati aapse madad maangne toh aap karte?"

"Haan sochta zaroor.. Chaar logo ko khush kiya usne.. Mujhe bhi kar deti toh Virat ko investment zaroor de deta main" Ronit said shamelessly and both burst out laughing.

Virat fumed in anger hearing this, he turned and slapped Ronit. He hit his head on the wall "how dare you talk about my sister like this.."

The manager was shocked.. He called the police and the police arrived in 15 minutes.

Ronit said "inspector arrest him he tried to kill me.."

Virat lost his temper and shouted "jaanse maar dunga tujhe samjha.."

The police arrested Virat and took him away to the police station.

At Home

Aarav was preparing dinner. Manvi entered inside to search for water. Aarav looked at her and asked "kya chahiye?"

"Pani" she replied.

"Waha hai.." he pointed towards the water filter. She took the glass and filled the water. Manvi looked at him. He was really good at cooking skills.

She asked "aap bhi khana banate hai?"

"Haan.. Ahana ko mere haath ka khana acha lagta hai toh main banata hun mostly... " he said.

"Jaise mujhe bhai ke haath ka acha lagta hai... ghar pe wahi cooking karte they dinner aur din mein hum hotel mein khate they" Manvi informed.

Aarav smiled.. "Zara waha se.. Sugar paas karna" he said pointing towards the upper shelf.

Manvi looked, it was quite high. She jumped and grabbed the sugar box but missed her balanced and it landed on his head.

She kept her hand on her mouth in shock. Aarav grabbed his head, he turned to her and asked "jab bhi milti toh mera sar phodti ho.. Maine aisa kya bigada hai tumhara?"

She apologized "sorry... sorry"

She moved to him and pressed the place where it had hit him. She was rubbing it, he was lost in her and was smiling sheepishly.

"Ek baat kahun Manvi" Aarav said.

Manvi nodded in yes.

"Phir kabhi sucide ka khayal nhi laana.. Sab thik hoga virat ko tumhari wajah se koi problem nahi hui aur na aage hogi yaad rakhna ye baat" Aarav made her understand.

Manvi noodded with a light smile on her face.

The moment was broken by Ahana's voice.. "Bhai.. Manvi"

They looked at her, she seemed to be tensed.

Manvi asked "kya hua Ahana??"

"Virat is arrested.." Ahana informed.

Manvi and Aarav were left shocked hearing this.
