Khushi's POV

It has been a week since we came from Goa, Aarav was taking care of me and was very much protective after the accident. Aarav and Manvi were not on talking terms, they only argued. I sighed deeply "ye dono bhi na ajeeb prani hai.. kabhi ek dum besharam kabhi ek dum jungli ki tarah ladai"

It was morning and today Manvi was inside my room with breakfast. I questioned her "aap aur dadda ek saath nahi aa sakte kya?"

"ek hafta usne rakh liya na tumhara khayal ab meri baari hai" Manvi replied. She sat down beside me and feed the breakfast with her hand.

I said "mumma main kha sakti hun.. fracture nahi hua hai"

"pata hai.. par beemar ho tum" Manvi replied. I smiled slightly and took the bite in my mouth. Her phone ranged, she disconnected the call. It again rang, and she kept it on silent this time.

"Mumma important hai toh uthalo" I spoke.

"tumse zyada nahi" she replied and smiled.

I kept my head on her shoulder. She kept her hand on my head and smeared it lightly and I closed my eyes to feel the warmth of her touch.

I asked "dadda ab bhi naraz hai aapse?"

"haa.. room mein bhi gusne nahi deta hai ziddi insaan" Manvi spoke.

I looked at her and asked, "can I help you?"

"nahi koi zaroorat nahi hai tum bas apna khayal rakho" Manvi replied. She asked to get up and take a shower. I stood up and went to the bathroom.

After 20 minutes, I stepped out and she asked me to sit down on the stool. I sat and she properly combed my hair and tied them.

"mumma.. can I watch a movie?" I asked.

"haan thik hai par uske baad rest karna hai" Manvi agreed. I ran out of the room and came downstairs. I sat down on the couch and played the film, to my surprised Manvi came after a while with popcorn.

I looked at her and asked "Aapko office nahi jaana hai?"

"nahi.." Manvi refused and said "concentrate on the film"

I smiled and we watched the film together. She screamed and whistled at the end. There is still a crazy person in her which she hides from everyone by acting mature. I looked at her and said "mumma maasi sahi kehti hai aap na jhalli hi ho"

She smiled and ruffled my hair with her fingers. "chalo ab tum rest karo chaho toh room mein ya couch pe leth jao"

I nodded in yes and lay down on the couch. She grabbed her place on the opposite couch and began to work on the laptop. She seemed to be disturbed about something, the guilt was clearly visible on her face.

I smiled at her and said "mumma main thik hun.."

She glanced at me with a soft smile and spoke "jaanti hun.. aankhein band karke soh jao"

I nodded in yes and closed my eyes but couldn't sleep. I slightly opened my eyes and saw her standing in front of me with crossing her arms across the chest.

I gulped down my throat with this look of her and asked "mumma aisa look kyun de rahi ho ab kya kiya maine?"

"skipped your medicine," She said in anger tone.

I made a face and stood up, I spoke "I don't like it.. dekho ab main thik hun mujhe medicines ki zaroorat nahi hai" I tried to escape from taking the medicine

Manvi replied strictly "Khushi.. tumne TV dekhne diya iska ye matlab nahi ki tum apni manmani karogi... chup chap dawai lo"

She forwarded her hand, I picked up the medicines and glanced at her innocently. I spoke "mumma please nahi"

She shot a deadly glare at me "leti ho ya room mein lock kardun tumhe?"

I sighed and ate the medicine. I murmured "kaise bhool gayi main meri maa toh hitler hai.. huh"

She then instructed me to go to the room and sleep. I couldn't deny her order and quietly moved to my room.

I saw her on the phone and she was quite tense, something was disturbing her. I lay down on the bed and soon fell asleep.

I opened my eyes about after two hours and heard my voice. She was shouting at someone "uske bina tum log kaam nahi kar sakte ho kya?? mujhe nahi pata HR department ko bolo kisiko bhi hire kare warna tumhe nikal dungi job se"

I got up and sighed "mumma kya hua hai??"

Manvi turned and kept the phone away. She asked "tumhari tabiyat?"

"I am ek dum fine mumma! aap kyun kisi masoom ki class le rahi ho?" I questioned her but she diverted the topic.

"kuch nahi.. main dudh laati hun tumhare liye" Manvi said and moved out of the room. I followed her and saw Vihana sitting on the couch playing with Vihaan.

I asked "dadda kaha hai?"

"interview tha uska koi wahi gaya hai" Ahana replied.

After some time, Aarav returned home and sat down on the couch beside me. He asked "Khushi tumhari tabiyat kaisi hai??"

"Dadda.. I am ek dum fit and fine" I informed him.

Manvi came out of the kitchen and handed the glass of milk to me. She served the coffee to Virat and Ahana.

Ahana asked "Aarav ki coffee?"

"bhabhi.. aap hi bana dena iski.. mujhse toh baat hi nahi kar raha hai ye" Manvi spoke eyeing Aarav who ignored her glance.

He was talking to me and telling me about his day. I sighed deeply and thought "God! ye dono kabhi ek dum besharam hote hai aur kabhi ek dum ziddi.. ajeeb maa baap meri hi jholi mein aane they.."

As time passed by, I was perfectly fit and fine. My bandage was removed and the doctor had told him I can run around the house like normal.

"dekha mumma maine kaha tha na aapse main bhaag daud sakti hun" I told her.

Manvi looked at me and spoke "haan pata hai! lekin maar peet bilkul nahi karogi"

"mumma.. lekin agar koi aapke aur dadda ke baare mein kuch bolega toh main chup bhi nahi rahungi" she spoke meaningfully.

Manvi sighed "fine.. jo karna hai karo baad mein mujhe mat bolna maine daant lagadi" she said crossing her arms across the chest.

I hugged her from behind and kissed her head "mumma.. aap na mujhe aise hi pasand ho!! and I promise agli baar kisiko nahi maarungi.. haath pair hi tod dungi"

Manvi hit her head on her forehead and sighed in disappointment.

Third Person POV

Virat was working on his laptop, Ahana feed Vihaan food. She asked "Virat tumne Khushi ke school mein baat ki?"

"Ahana.. Khushi Aarav aur Manvi ki beti hai toh unhe baat karni chahiye" he informed her.

Ahana agreed to him but she was concerned about Khushi's future. She said "I know vee but wo dono apna jhagda nipta le wahi bahut hai! tum baat kar loge toh kya ho jayega?"

"main kar lunga lekin pehle unn dono ko saath mein Khushi ke school jaake baat karni chahiye! agar school waale nahi maante hai toh I will get involved" he said firmly

She sighed deeply "how mean Vee.. tum apne bhai ke liye itna bhi kaam nahi kar sakte?"

"Ahana.. Aarav ab bacha nahi hai! he is married and have a 15 year old kid! let him handle his responsibilities" Virat said meaningfully.

Ahana asked "hamari koi responsibility nahi hai kya?"

He sighed, he kept the laptop aside and moved towards her. He grabbed her hand and said "hai.. sabko ek saath rakhna.. jab bhi zaroorat ho unke saath khade rehna.. aur ab tumhe Vihaan ke upar focus karna chahiye apne devar ko uske haal pe chod do"

Ahana sighed and said "haan taaki ghar se chutti ho jaye uski.. bhai toh tha ki khadoos biwi bhi bechare ko hitler mili hai"

Virat laughed hearing her words and spoke "opposite attracts... "

Ahana smiled hearing him, Vihaan laughed as he agreed to his father.

"Dekha Vihaan also agrees with me" Virat said.

Ahana smiled and they played with their son. Ahana said "subah Aarav ko bolna Khushi ke school jaake baat kare"

Virat nodded in yes...

The next morning, everyone was at the breakfast table. Virat asked "Khushi tumhari tabiyat kaisi hai ab?"

"Ek dum badhiya hai bade papa!" Khushi said while eating the toast.

"that's great! Aarav aur Manvi tum dono aaj hi Khushi ke school jaake baat karoge" Virat instructed them.

Aarav and Manvi exchanged glances. Khushi gulped down her throat and sighed "hey bhagwaan! ye dono ghar mein ek dusre se baat nahi kar rahe school mein kaise karenge?"

To be continued....
😂 How will they go to school together?
