There was a ring at the door, Manvi came out of the bedroom and went to open the door. As soon as she opened the door the person jumped on her and hugged her saying "Manvi!!"

Manvi recognised the voice, she was surprised and happy too at the same time "Sneha! Tum yahan" she asked her.

Sneha gets apart and says "haan main yahan aur akeli nhi aayi hoon mere husband bhi saath aaye hai"

Manvi smiled and said "aa andar aa pehle" Manvi moved aside and Sneha entered inside along with her husband.

They sat on the couch and Manvi asked "tujhe kaise pata chala main yahan hoon?"

Sneha said "main orphanage gayi thi, waha aunty ne bataya tu Vineet ke saath yahan shift ho gayi hai to main aa gayi tujhse milne"

Manvi smiled and held her hand "bahut acha kiya tune, tu ruk main coffee lati hoon" and went inside the kitchen.

Jai, Sneha's husband spoke up "I can't believe it sneha koi aadmi kaise ek blind ladki ke sath apni puri zindagi bita sakta hai and sabse badi bewakufi usne apna parivar chod diya"

Sneha glared at him and said "Jai, how can you say this!"

Jai looked at her and said in loud tone "what? Main sach kah raha hoon! Sirf apni life kharab kar raha hai aur dekhna kuch dino mein wo pareshan hoke khud chod dega isko"

Sneha looked towards the kitchen and found Manvi standing there with tears in her eyes. Sneha got up and moved to Manvi "I am sorry Manvi, Jai ki taraf se" she apologized being in guilt.

Jai spoke up "Sneha, we are getting late" and moved out of the house.

Manvi said "jaa sneha" Sneha left from there.

Manvi rushed to the room and locked her up inside. Later, Vineet came home and called for Manvi but there was no response. He then head to the room and found it lock from inside, he asked "Manvi! Open the door"

Manvi shouted from inside "Vineet, aap jayie mujhe chodke chale jayie apni zindagi ko barbad mat kijiye please!"

Vineet was surprised at this sudden words of her. He asked her to open the door once but she denies.

Ruhana returned from office and found Vineet standing worriedly in his garden. She walked towards the divider...

"Kya hua Vineet? Pareshan kyun ho? "

"Wo manvi... " he said worriedly.

"Kya hua usey? " she asked.

"Pata nahi. Usne khud ko room mein lock kar liya hai. I wish wo kuch kar na le. " he said, fear visible in his eyes.

Ruhana grew worried... "Aisa kya hua? " she asked.

"You know her. Aur logon ka kaam toh baatein banane ka hai. She's saying that I should leave her.... Par kyun? I love her. " he said, his voice turning teary.

Ruhana kept her hand on his shoulder... "Don't worry. Main baat karti hoon. " she said and walked inside the house.

She knocked the door and heard Manvi...

"Vineet, maine kaha na aap chale jaiye. Meri wajah se apni life mat kharab kijiye. " she shouted from inside.

Ruhana sighed and said "Manvi please. Open the door. Mujhe tumse baat karni hai. "

Few minutes later, Manvi opened the door. Ruhana entered in and asked..

"Manvi, since when are you listening to people and losing yourself. "

"Par Ruhana, sach hi toh hai. Main dekh nahi sakti. Toh vineet ko kyun apni life barbad karni hai? " she said.

"he loves you manvi. Maine uski aankhon mein dekha hai. Tum mein koi kami nahi hai. " she explained.

"but Ruhana, banungi toh bojh hi na! " she said loudly.

"tum bojh nahi, mera pyar ho. "Vineet said entering inside the room.

Manvi didn't say anything. He held her from her arms...

"Main tumse pyar karta hoon. Tumhara sath mujhe aabad karega. Hum sath mein unchaiyan chhuenge. Humara rishta itna kamzor nahi hai, ki kuch shabd usey tod de. " he said.

"Vineet is right, Manvi. Tum dono ko ek dusre ka Sahara banna hai. Is pyar ko Taakat banao manvi. Agar pyar kisi ke liye jaan dene ki himmat de sakta hai toh zindagi bhar sath nibhane mein tumhari madad karega. "she said with teary eyes.

Manvi held her hands... "shayad tum thik keh rahi ho. " she said.

Ruhana lightly squeezed her hands... "Life tumhe mauka de rahi hai. Vineet tumhare sath hai. He loves you. Just go ahead. Vineet ka hath pakdo aur aage badho. "she said.

Manvi nodded. She held Vineet's hands...

"I'm sorry Vineet. Maine aapko bahut pareshan kiya. Bhul gayi thi ki akeli nahi hu, aap hain mere sath. Mujhe laga aap bhi... "she said but stopped as he placed his hand on her lips..

"bas! Main dusron ki tarah baatein nahi banata. Main sath chalne mein vishwas rakhta hoon. Maine tumhari life mein rang bharne ka vaada kiya tha, wahi nibhaunga. I love you. "he said and placed a kiss on her head.

She smiled and placed a her head on his chest while he wrapped his hands around her.

Ruhana smiled at them and left from there.

*Flashback Starts *

She was sitting in her room upset over something. Aarav came to her with a pastry in his hand...

"Ruhana, lo pastry khao. " he said as he extended a spoonful of pastry towards her.

"Mujhe nahi khani. Tum hi khao. " she said.

He glanced at her... "itna gussa kyu? Mana main tumhe time nahi de raha lekin tum gussa kyun ho? " he asked.

"Aarav please... mujhe akela chhod do please. " she said in an irritating tone.

He kept the plate on the table and sat beside her...

"Ruhana, kyun frustrated ho? "

She looked at him but didn't answered.

He cupped her face... "Ruhana I know tum pareshan ho. But it's life yar. Aaj nahi toh kal mauka milega. " he said.

"ek saal ho gaya Aarav. Tumne business shuru kar liya aur main abhi tak aise hi... Khali. " she said.

"that doesn't matter for me. Tumse aaj bhi utna hi pyar karta hoon. Aur Main hoon na. Hum ek sath aage badhenge. We'll Grow together. Sath ho ya na ho you will always find me around you. "he said and pulled her in his embrace.

*Flashback ends*

Ruhana came out of her trance on a voice. She found Vineet cheering Manvi. He made her sit on the swing...

Chak de chak de chak de

Chak de saare gham

Chak de chak de chak de

Tere sang hai hum

Manvi smiled... he continued.

Haske to dekh tu ek baar

Khudh hi aa jaayegi phir bahaar

Haske to dekh tu ek baar

Khudh hi aa jaayegi phir bahaar

He made her stand and twirled her around...

Gaa le nayi sargam

Geet ek naya gaa

Aaya naya mausam

Aaya din naya

Chak de chak de chak de

Chak de saare gham

Chak de chak de chak de

Tere sang hai hum

Manvi placed her head on his chest...

Chehd de dhun woh aaj cha jaaye mastiya

Chod de khulke aaj lehron mein khashtiya

Chehd de dhun woh aaj cha jaaye mastiya

Chod de khulke aaj lehron mein khashtiya

She moved ahead and her leg tucked with the swing rod.. Vineet held her...

Thokar mein masti ho

Dang kar bhi joomein

Mann bhi dirakh jaaye

Badal ko chumein

Chak de chak de chak de

Chak de saare gham

Chak de chak de chak de

Tere sang hai hum

He made her stand and tucked the hair loops behind her ears. A smile was playing on her lips.

Yeh hawa tere paas aake hai beh rahi

Chum le mere sang kaanon mein keh rahi

Yeh hawa tere paas aake hai beh rahi

Chum le mere sang khaano mein keh rahi

Manvi smiled as she kissed on his cheek...

Lehrake balkhake muskarake jee le

Peele hawaon ko ghunganake dheele

Chak de chak de chak de

Chak de saare gham

Chak de chak de chak de

Tere sang hai hum

She hugged him. Ruhana was watching them... She started singing

Sach hai yeh bas ek baar milti hai zindagi

Karwatein badalti hai pal pal yeh zindagi

Manvi parted the hug and turned towards Ruhana, who took her hands in hers...

Sach hai yeh bas ek baar milti hai zindagi

Karwatein badal thi hai pal pal yeh zindagi

She took Manvi hand and secured it into Vineet's hands...

Har pal ko gale se haske laga le

Pal pal mein chupi jo khushiya chura le

Chak de chak de chak de

Chak de saare gham

Chak de chak de chak de

Tere sang hai hum

Vineet kept his hands on their shoulders...

Haske to dekh tu ek baar

Khudh hi aa jayegi phir bahaar

Ruhana smiled and pushed him towards Manvi...

Gaa le nayi sargam

Geet ek naya gaa

Aaya naya mausam

Aaya din naya

Chak de chak de chak de

Chak de saare gham

Chak de chak de chak de

Tere sang hai hum

Ruhana smiled as she saw them together and went back home humming the song.
