Malhotra House

Virat said to Ahana "hum Aarav ko office jaane dete hai kyun?"

Ahana glared at him and asked "have you lost it Virat?? Sar pe bandage hai haath mein fracture aur tumhe use office bhejna hai.."

"Lekin agar wo nahi gaya toh uski job bhi jaa sakti hai Ahana" Virat tired to explain.

Ahana said in straight tone "no means no Virat.. Ek hafta doctor ne rest karne ko kaha hai samjhe.. Apni tarah workaholic nahi banao tum Aarav ko.."

Virat glared Aarav, who requested him by his eyes.

"Tumhara devar hi kah raha tha use office jaana hai" Virat said.

Ahana glared at Aarav, who made a cute sad face. Ahana scolded Aarav "tumhara pair bhi tod dungi main khabardar jo ghar se kadam bhi bahar rakha toh chalo chup chap room mein"

He looked at her with open mouth. "Bhabhi.. Aapne mujhe daanta?" he asked making a face.

"Go to your room" Ahana said ignoring his drama.

Aarav moved back into the room. Ahana looked at Virat and asked "how can you send him to office?? Fikar nahi hai kya kuch apne bhai ki tumhe?"

"Main zabardasti nahi kar raha hun use hi jaana tha isme main kya karun?" he protested.

"Tum mana bhi toh kar sakte they na?" Ahana questioned

"Jaise wo meri sun leta" Virat said.

"Yahi toh problem hai Virat.. Dono bhai sunte nahi hai.. " Ahana complained.

"Sun toh raha hai na tumhara laadla.. Tumhari" he said reminding her about Aarav,

Ahana smiled.. And pulled his cheeks "Aww mera jealous pati"

Virat glared at her... "jaake apne dever ko dekho main chala nahane" he moved into the room.

Ahana took the milk for Aarav, she entered inside and saw him sitting on the bed with phone in his hand. She snatched the phone, he gave her a questioning look.

"Dundh peeke soh jao mujhe pata hai mere peeche tumne aaram nahi masti hi ki hogi" Ahana said.

He looked at her in surprise. "Aise chauko mat ache se janti hun tumhe.. Aur ek hafta no office and I don't want any more arguments in this" Ahana said clearly.

She kept the milk glass and left the room. Aarav sighed in disappointment "beta teri naukri gayi.." he murmured.

Manvi's POV

The next morning, I got ready to leave for work. Khushi and Avni were not present there. I asked "dono kaha hai Di?"

"Abhi soh rahi hai.." Ruhana replied.

"Raat bhar masti ki hogi.. Ab der tak soyegi" I said.

Ruhana smiled "teri hi aadat hai usmein"

I glanced at her, yes I was same but that was years ago. Now, my routine was only to work. After taking breakfast, I left for office. I arrived there in 20 minutes, I glanced at his desk and he was not present. I sighed and moved into my cabin. Should I wait for him for another half day? But I am sure he is not going to turn up. I began working, I was frustrated with him. He was been a careless employee.

I finally took the decision to terminate him. I signed it, I called up a person. I gave him the envelope.

"Ye lo.. Aarav Malhotra ke ghar pahuchwa do.." I informed.

The person nodded.

Khushi's POV

I was dropped at Aarav's home by Avni Di. I entered inside the house and saw Aarav playing video game. I glanced at him and asked "aapko chain nahi hai na?"

Aarav looked at me and smiled "Are khushi.."

"Dost.. this is not done" I said angrily.

He kept the remote and asked "kya hua??"

"Aap akele akele video game khel rahe ho.. Mujhe bhi sikhao" I said with a smile.

"Aao sikhata hun" he said. I rushed and sat on his lap. He began teaching me how to play video games. I was enjoying and laughing. Tears slipped down from my eyes. He looked at me and wiped my tear.

"Hey.. meri dost ke aankh mein aansu kyu?" he asked.

"Agar mere papa hote na.. Toh wo bhi khushi ko new new cheez sikhate" I said getting emotional.

"Main hun na.. Ab ye dost aapko new cheezein sikhayega.." he said.

I smiled. He tends to be thinking something. He asked "bhav bhaji khane chalogi?"

I denied "no.. aapko chot lagi hai.."

"Tum meri bhabhi ki tarah mat bano.. Chalo jaake aate hai unhe pata nahi chalega" he said and stood up.

I asked "aapko darr nahi lagta aapki bhabhi se??"

"Nahi.. wo toh sweet si hai.. Mujhse pyar karti hai chalo ab" he spoke.

We exited the door, a person was there. He handed an envelope to Aarav. He opened it and gave a shocked expression.

I predicted something really unexpected happened. I asked "kya hua dost?"

"Kuch nahi khushi.. Bhabhi aane waali hogi office se tumhari Di kab aa rahi hai tumhe lene?" he said.

There was something unusual in his voice. He was tense, I asked "bolo dost kya hua???"

"Bhook lagi hai chalo khake aate hai" he said ignoring my questioned. Maybe I should not force him more.

We went to a nearby shop and had pav bhaji. We were enjoying each other company. He was not of my age, but I had built a special bond with him.

Avni Di arrived, "tu yahan hai.. Main ghar hoke aayi chal jaldi der ho rahi hai" she said.

I sighed.. I did not want to go "Di thodi der aur rukte hai na?" I requested.

"Khushi mujhe bhi daant pad jayegi mumma ki chal chup chap" she said.

I sighed deeply and left with her waving by to Aarav.

Aarav headed back home, he reached and to his surprise Ahana was already there. She was holding the paper in her head. She seemed to be angry.

"Bhabhi.." he said.

She glanced at him.. "Tumhari boss paagal hai kya?? How the hell can she terminate you?" she shouted.

"Bhabhi.. Please waha kisiko pata nahi hai na.." he said calmly.

"No.. abhi khabar leti hun iski" she said taking out her phone.

Manvi's POV

I got free early from work and returned home. I fired him but I felt, my decision was not right.

Khushi was watching a film along with Avni. My phone ranged, it was an unknown number. .

I picked up the call, "hello.."

"Is it Manvi Shekhawat??" the feminine voice asked.

"Yes.." I replied.

"How dare you?? Tumhari himmat kaise hui Aarav ko terminate karne ki" she yelled at me.

I replied angrily "dekhiye aap chillayie mat.. Wo 2 din se office nahi aaya hai kitna kaam pending hai and all his work I have to complete."

"Aur tumne wajah jaane bina hi use nikal diya job se.. Have you lost it?? Kisne banaya tumhe MD haan??? Uss bechare ka accident hua doctor ne usko ek hafta rest karne ko kaha hai.. Mauka nahi mila use batane ka.. This is ridiculous.. Tumhari responsibility honi chahiye thi ghar pe kisi bande ko bhejo and pata karo hua kya hai.. But no.." she yelled badly.

I looked on.. "Listen.. Manvi Shekhawat ab tumhari job jayegi you don't know us Virat Malhotra mera husband do minute mein tumhara office khareed sakta hai samjhi" she said and call got disconnected.

I sighed and threw away my phone in frustration. Di was right, I should not have taken the decision to terminate him without knowing the reason. I have put myself into trouble.

I sat down on the couch with a thud. Khushi came, and asked "kya hua mumma??"

"Kuch nahi beta" I replied with a light smile.

"Ab jhooth mat bolo khushi se... phone pe koi chilla raha tha aapne kuch galat kiya na?" she asked raising her eyebrow.

I nodded in yes. Khushi smiled.. "Don't be sad.. Apni mistake correct karlo sab thik hoga"

"Aur ye aapko kisne bataya?" I asked.

"Mere secret dost ne" she replied.

I questioned her "kaun hai ye aapka secret friend??"

"Secret friend ka naam nhi batate hai mumma" she said sarcastically.

"Wahi toh maasi mujhe bhi nahi bataya isne." Avni complained..

I was tensed and in guilt too. I should not have sent the termination letter. Someone snipped the finger in front of me. I looked it was Ruhana.

She asked "kardi na gadbad tune? Main kaha tha jalbaazi mein faisla mat le.."

"Ab kya karun main di.. Uski bhabhi kaise chilla rahi thi.. Huh.." I said.

"Galti teri hai kyuki.. Kal tu khud uske ghar jayegi termination letter wapas legi samjhi" Ruhana ordered.

I was shocked hearing this. "Jee haan.. Jaake sorry bolna" she re-confirmed.

I could not deny but I did not want to visit him. I will send other employee to take back the letter. Yes, this is the best option. 

Will Manvi apologize to Aarav?

Stay tuned..
