Manvi's POV

Ruhana said "lekin ab shaadi tak tum meri behen se miloge nahi samjhe"

Aarav made a face "nahi ye zulm hai mujh gareeb par" he said making a face.

Virat glared at him.."Aarav control.. Aur ab hum chalte hai" he spoke.

Aarav sighed and stamped his foot in anger.

"main abhi nahi aa raha hun bhai.. mujhe apni beti se baatein karni hai" he said heading towards Khushi.

Khushi giggled at his antics as he was been childish. He said "khushi itne din baad aaya hun main chalo mujhe apna room dikhao.."

Ahana sighed.. "Aarav... kaha na chalo abhi yahan se"

Aarav requested her with his eyes, Virat gave up he held his hand and pulled him out of the house, he glanced at me and I laughed. He shot a deadly glare indicating he will see me later.

Khushi and Avni shouted "yaay.. Shaadi... finally"

I smiled seeing their excitement. I then hugged my sister from behind "Di.. thank you aap maan gaye.."

She patted my head "kaise nahi maanti? Aarav tujhse bahut pyaar karta hai main kaun hoti hun tum dono ko alag karne waali" she said.

I smiled..

I was thinking, all this just happened or was a dream? Aarav's family came home and apologized.

I came out trance of my thoughts with Ruhana's voice "janti hun tu kya soch rahi hai mannu.."

I eyed towards her, she cupped my face "ye sach hai.. Aarav family ke saath aaya tha.. Ahana ne maafi maangi.. aur jo main itne saalo se chahti thi wo ab hoga... tumhari phirse shaadi"

I nodded, she kissed my forehead and I smiled.

Vineet said "bahut kum time hai aur tayari bahut saari Manvi tum office se chutti le lo agle ek mahine ke liye"

I was thoughtful, taking leave for a month is quite impossible for me.

"jiju... par.." I paused..

I eyed everyone, they were staring at me keeping their hands on their waist and giving me a deadly glare.

I gulped down my throat, if I spoke even a word they all will bite me. I replied "okay fine le lungi chutti main"

"Good.. waise bhi tum hamare decision ke against nahi jaogi.. tumne hi kaha tha abhi" Vineet said winking at her.

"right papa.. waise papa maasi office mein boss hai par yahan ghar mein inki koi sunta nahi hai khushi bhi nahi" Avni giggled...

Khushi joined her "I agree Di, aur dost ke ghar toh dost ki bhabhi ka ka hukum chalega.. bechari meri mumma.."

I made face.. "khushi.. chup bahut bolne lagi ho tum" I scolded her.

"maasi sahi bola.. Khushi ne.." Avni said..

I gave a look to her, Khushi and Avni ran and I chased them.. "ruko tum dono"

Ruhana and Vineet smiled.

RuVi's Room

Ruhana was thinking something, Vineet asked "kya soch rahi ho Roo?"

"Vineet.. mannu ke baare mein Aarav.." she paused.

"ab kya sochna? tumhe bharosa nahi hai uspe?" he asked.

"uspe hai Vineet.. par Ahana? kal agar phir kisine kuch kah diya Aarav aur mannu ke age difference ko leke usne mannu ko suna diya toh? aur tum jante ho mannu jawab nahi degi usko" Ruhana shared her concern with him.

"toh tum kya chahti ho?" Vineet asked

"Vineet mujhe nahi pata... I am just concerned about mannu aisa toh hai nahi ki unki taraf se sawal nahi uthenge shaadi ke waqt and Ahana ne.. phirse mannu ya khushi ko kuch bola toh? main bardasht nahi karungi" she said clearly.

"toh tumne haan kyun ki?" he asked.

"mannu ki wajah se.. aaj wo khush hai Avni aur Khushi ke saath has khel rahi hai mujhe puri tarah Ahana pe bharosa ab bhi nahi hai" she said.

"toh tum Ahana se baat karo iss baare mein.. agar hum dono parivar ek nahi rahenge tab Aarav Manvi bhi khush nhi honge.." he said.

She nodded in yes.

Avni shouted "mumma papa jaldi aao.. humhe dinner ke liye late ho raha hai"

RuVi headed out of the room, I glanced at them and asked "aap log kya baat kar rahe they andar?"

"kuch nahi.. chalo late ho raha hai" Ruhana replied.

Aarav's POV

I was upset as nobody let me spent some time with Khushi and Manvi. After 6 months I meet them and now I can't meet them till the marriage this is unfair.

"Aarav ab nayi naukri dhundhlo business toh tumhe sambhalna nhi hai" Virat said.

I did not gave a reply to him. He hit my head from behind "kuch bola hai maine.."

"mujhe nahi baat karni hai.. ek toh aap mjhse zabarasti wapas le aaye huh.." I said angrily.

"natak mat karo tum zyada samjhe have some patience," he said.

"pichle 6 mahine se patience hi rakha hua hai maine" I murmured.

"toh thoda aur rakhlo" Virat said teasingly.

I frowned, "bhabhi dekho na bhai ko" I eyed at Ahana who seemed to be lost somewhere.

I asked "kya hua bhabhi?"

"kuch nahi Aarav.. bahut waqt ho gaya hai jaake so jao tum" she said.

I nodded and went inside my room happily. "mil nahi sakta toh kya hua.. baat toh kar hi sakta hoon" I took out my phone and dialled Manvi's number.

someone snatched the phone from my hand "nahi... "

I glanced at Virat.. "bhaiya give me my phone.."

"tujhe yaad hai tune meri shaadi ke waqt kitna sataya tha mujhe.. ab meri baari hai" he said tapping my cheek.

I stamped my foot in anger "bhaiya... main bhabhi ko bol dunga aap mujhe sata rahe ho"

"bolde I don't care" Virat replied confidently.

I shouted "Bhabhi........." but there was no reply.

"wo Vihaan ko sula rahi hai samjha tu bhi so jaa good night" Virat moved out closing the door.

I sat down on bed "arghh.. sabko maza aa raha hai mujhe satane mein koi nahi mera naam bhi Aarav Malhotra hai main toh paida hi hua tha rules todne ke liye" I smiled mishchiveously.

Third POV

Ahana was sitting inside her room, she made Vihaan sleep but was lost somewhere. She felt Ruhana is still not convinced with her words.

Virat entered the room and smiled glancing at her. He saw her worried, he questioned "Ahana.. are you okay?"

"yea I am fine.." Ahana replied.

Her phone ranged, she picked up the call. "hello.."

"ahana.. it's me Ruhana" the caller spoke.

Ahana said "Aap.. kahiye"

"tumse important baat karni hai mil sakti ho" she said from other side.

"haa. zaroor kal milte hai" Ahana replied and ended the call.

Virat asked "kiska phone tha?"

Ahana smiled "meri dost ka.. kal milna chahti hai.."

"acha suno.. society bahut sawal jawab karegi dono ko leke.. par iss sabka asar shaadi pe nahi hona chahiye mujhe bas Aarav ki khushi chahiye" he said.

"Don't worry Virat.. they will get married for sure" she assured him.

The next day, Aarav was playing with Vihaan. Ahana smiled looking at him.

"Aarav.. main kuch der ke liye bahar jaa rahi hun Vihaan ka khayal rakhna" she spoke.

"jee bhabhi aap jao.. main aur mera champ masti karenge" he said.

Ahana left to meet Ruhana, she reached her house. Ruhana was waiting for her to arrive.

"aao Ahana.. baitho" Ruhana welcomed her inside.

Ahana smiled and sat down on the couch, she looked around and asked "baaki sab?"

"Manvi apne office gayi hai... Khushi aur Avni dance classes" Ruhana replied her.

Ahana asked "Aapne mujhe yahan kyun bulaya?"

"Ahana dekho.. Aarav aur manvi ki khushi main bhi chahti hun par main tumhe abtak maaf nahi kar paayi hun.. mujhe tumpar bharosa nahi ho raha hai kal phir kuch ho gaya toh tum meri behen ko blame kar dogi" Ruhana spoke up firmly.

"I know maine bahut galat kaha par I promise aisa kuch nahi hoga trust me please.." she exclaimed.

"bharosa toh Aarav bhi tumpe karta tha na.. kya kiya tumne? apni zid mein dono ko alag kar diya" Ruhana said angrily.

"Aarav mera laadla hai.. uski khushi se badhkar kuch nahi hai mere liye aapko mujhpe bharosa karna hoga" Ahana said meaningfully.

"thik hai Ahana.. tumhe mujhe vishwas dilana hoga ki samaj ke sawalo se tum phirse meri behen pe ungli nahi uthaogi aur wo bhi shaadi se pehle" Ruhana said in concern for her sister.

Ahana smiled "thik hai.. jaise aapko aapki behen ki fikar hai mujhe apne devar ki. aapko vishwas dilake hi rahungi"

After sometime, Ahana left the house. She reached her home, Vihaan was crying in Virat's arm he was making him calm down.

Aarav was standing at the corner with head down, Ahana asked "kya hua?"

"kuch nahi.. Aarav ko phone aaya usne attend kiya aur Vihaan neeche gir gaya" Virat informed.

Ahana eyed him...

Aarav said something to which ahana was left shocked...

He headed towards his room.

Ahana thought "udhar Manvi ki behen... aur ab ye Aarav"

"ab main maan gayi to sabko problem hai" she murmured..

Manvi's POV

I went to the head office to give my leave application. The CEO asked "ek mahine ki holiday?"

I smiled "ji sir.. Wo shaadi hai meri isliye" I replied.

"Oh.. that's great kaun hai wo special banda? Jisne hamari MD ka dil jeeta?" he asked.

"Aarav Malhotra" I informed him.

He was shocked hearing me, he asked "Wahi Aarav malhotra??"

I nodded in yes, "congratulations" he said and I smiled.

He accepted my leave application, I then headed towards the house. I just hope, now no more hurdles come in between our marriage.

Hash that was long chapter 😬

Thank you!
