Aarav's POV

I was lost in my own thoughts. I smiled "Aarav.. Tune apne khadoos boss ko kiss kiya.. Waah..aur wo muskurayi haaye.. Aag toh udhar bhi lagi hai"

I prepared the coffee, after about 10 minutes she stepped out of the bathroom and I glanced at her.

Her long wet hairs were making me go crazy, she was indeed beautiful. She eyed me and I smiled.

"Coffee" I gave her.

She held the mug and sipped the coffee.

My shirt was too big for her, it started exposing her shoulder.

I moved away from her as I did not want her to feel uncomfortable in front of me.

I picked up the pillow and kept it on the couch.

"Aarav..." she called.

I turned "ji.."

"Thank you.." she said.

I was left stunned hearing her, I approached her and asked "kya kaha aapne??"

"Jo tumne suna" she replied.

I picked her up in my arms "woohu... aapne thank you kaha.."

She shouted "put me down..."

I dropped her down but we landed on the bed as I missed my balance. I was on top of her, I tried to move but she was not ready to leave me.

I glanced at her "aap.."

She kissed my cheek and I was left astonished, I could not resist myself and kissed her forehead and then something happened which was supposed to not happen.

Manvi's POV

The sun rays touched my face and I opened my eyes. There was a smile on my face, I stood up feeling different. I glanced on the couch and Aarav was sleeping cosily.

Last night, the 14 years loneliness made me lose control of myself and was ready to do everything but he did not touch me. 

"Mam.. main samajh sakta hun aap tanha hai akeli hai par main ye nahi karna chahta.. Kyuki ye pyaar nahi hoga aapka"

He covered me with a blanket and said "bas aap mere liye muskura di.. Bahut paa liya maine" he then moved to the couch and slept.

The whole night I was staring at him, he was not that bad. He could have easily taken advantage of the situation but he did not.

When my shoulder was exposing, he turned so that I didn't feel uncomfortable. He opened his eyes and I looked away.

He spoke "mere khayalo mein khoyi hui hai na aap?"

I denied.. "Nahi.."

"Are.. maan kyun nahi leti ho.. Aapko mujhse pyaar ho gaya hai" he said with a naughty smile on his face.

I shot a deadly glare at him, he jumped on the bed and stared at me..

"Mam.. aap mere kamre mein hai agar aapne nahi mana na toh main sabko bata dunga aapne kal meri ijzat lutne ki koshish ki" he said threatening me.

I was shocked hearing him.. "What?? Maine aisa kuch nahi kiya hai"

"Acha? Toh kal mujhe kiss kisne kiya?? Batayie.." he asked.

I was silent...

He then said dramatically "ek masoom employee ka fayda uthane ki koshish ki uski khadoos boss ne.. Newspaper headline hongi"

I could not control myself and burst out laughing aloud. I glanced at him, he was staring at me lovingly.

"Kya?? Aise kya dekh rahe ho?" I asked..

"Aap has rahi hai.. Aarav Malhotra ki khadoos boss has rahi hai" he said.

I realised I had laughed...

He then spoke "dekha kitna acha hota hai muskurana.. Aise haste rahiye.."

I smiled shyly and moved out of the room. I entered my room, his face was in front of me. I smiled.. My mind was fully occupied with him. I remembered our first meeting his flirt and my anger.

He made me laugh, no one dared to do that. I then took a bath and got ready to leave for the conference. I finally signed the deal and the day went in vain.

In the evening, he marched into my room. I asked "kya hua?"

"Aap hasti hui bahut achi lagti hai.. And ab main samjhu ki aap mujhe daantengi nahi.. Har baat pe" he asked.

"Ek shart pe.. Tum mujhe mam nhi kahoge.. Sirf Manvi bulaoge" I spoke.

He looked at me with an open mouth, he touched my forehead and I passed him a look..

"Aap... sudhar gayi.. Haayee main aapko itna acha lag gaya." he said in a flirty tone.

"Sirf yahan pe office mein main tumhari boss hi rahungi samjhe and we are just friends," I said in a firm tone.

"Chalo thik hai.. Manvi toh aapko mujhse pyaar hai?" he questioned..

"Aisa kuch nahi hai.. Samjhe" I said.

"Maano ya na maano aapko mujhse pyaar ho gaya hai" he said with a smile.

I was not getting angry hearing him, instead, I started liking his nature.

The next day was free. Aarav asked me to go to a movie with him. I could not deny it, we went to the theatre. I was enjoying watching the film.

After that, he took me to the game centre and we played games. I was the happiest soul today.

I asked 'kyun Aarav mujhe tumhare saath hone se sab alag lagne laga hai"

"Kyuki aapko mujhse pyar ho raha hai Manvi.." he replied.

"Nahi jaanti main ye kya hai.. Par tum hamesha mujhe uski yaad dilate they isliye tumse door bhaagti thi main" I finally confessed.

"Wo bhi tumhari tarah zindagi khulke jeeta tha, mere haar nakhre uthaye usne par ek din chodke chala gaya mujhe uske baad sab badal gaya sab" I said with teary eyes.

He held my hand and said "koi chala jaata na toh hum apni zindagi nahi rok sakte hai Manvi.. Mana ki duniya ne tumhe tukraya hoga bahut kuch kaha hoga par unka kya? Jo tumhare apne hai.. Wo tumhari khushi hi chahte hai na.. Zingadi ko waise jiyo jaisi wo hai samjhi"

I smiled hearing his words..

"Duniya kya sochti hai uski parwah mat karo.. Khudko mat badlo duniya ke liye balki unki soch ko badlo" he said meaningfully.

I smiled, he was right. I had forgotten to live my life but since he came I was changing, I was becoming how I was 14 years back.

Finally, the trip came to an end. We headed back to Mumbai.

I took the cab to my house, he said "Manvi.. Hamesha muskuraogi na aise??"

"Haan.." I replied and left.

I saw him ruffling his hairs and laughed seeing his act.

I reached home, everyone was sitting on the couch and watching a movie.

Ruhana saw me and smiled "finally aa gayi tum"

"Haan di..kya kar rahe ho aap sab?" I asked.

"Mumma.. Hum na wo kar rahe hai jo aap kabhi nahi karti ho aap apne room mein jaake apna kaam karo" Khushi replied.

I frowned when I heard her, I sat down on the couch and smiled broadly "main bhi dekhungi movie.."

Khushi's POV

I was left shocked hearing it, the remote fell from my hand. Avni Di dropped the popcorn bowl on the floor and Vineet also stared at her shockingly. We all got 100 volt shock hearing her words.

I pinched myself hard... and realised it is reality.

She said "kya hua?? Aap log aise kyun dekh rahe ho mujhe?"

We were just speechless, she increased the volume and started to laugh seeing the scene.

Her phone rang and she picked it up "haan.. Sir kal main aapko saari details bhej dungi... abhi main apni family ke saath hun" disconnected the call.

I blinked my eyes, was she my mother or someone else? I just can't believe it.

She then went to Ruhana and hugged her from behind "bahut bhook lagi hai mera favourite khadi chawal banado please.."

Ruhana just shook her head in yes and Manvi went upstairs taking her bag.

"Papa.. ye maasi aayi hai wapas ya unki duplicate??" Avni asked, still in a state of shock.

"Beta.. yahi main soch raha hun" Vineet replied..

I spoke "ye meri mumma nhi hai.. I am sure unhe bhukhar aaya hai subah tak utar jayega" 

I was really thoughtful of my mother.
