Vineet quickly heads towards the sunrise hills, with every passing minute he was tensed for Manvi.

Manvi was taken into the van, she kept on shouting "chodo mujhe.. Vineet"

The man spoke up in anger "chup!"

Manvi was now scared, as she does not know why she was taken? Who are they? What they are going to do with her? She just wished Vineet to come and save her on time.

Ruhana was purchasing some groceries, she paid the amount to the shopkeeper and turned to go. She gets shocked, when she sees Manvi into the van "manvi.. wo to Vineet ke ghar gayi thi na.."

Here Vineet reached the hills, he quickly got down but Manvi was nowhere to be seen. He shouted "manvi..."

He gets on knees and tears slips down his eyes. "I can't lose you.."

His phone ranged, he picked it up after few rings "hello."

"vineet.. Ruhana bol rahi hoon.. where are you? Manvi ko kuch log van mein le jaa rahe hai!" she said panickly.

Vineet got up and said instantly "kahan?"

"wo purani delhi ke bahar khandar kila hai na uss taraf jaa rahe hai.. tum jaldi aao" she said..

He sat inside the car and nodded "I am coming" he ended the call, keeping his phone aside he rushed towards the location.

The old fort..

Manvi was brought there, one of the man asked "are isko to waha hill pe le jana tha na yahan kyun laye?"

The other man smiled "Are.. o.. ladki dekh kitni khubsurat hai upar se andhi bhi hai.. maza karke chod denge kisiko kuch bata bhi nhi payegi"

They were busy talking, Manvi got a chance and she run. She hits with the wall as this place was new to her but she kept on running from them.

She collided with something, it turned out to be one of them. He held her tightly, she cries "leave me!"

He touches her face, Manvi tries to free herself but failed. He pushed her and Manvi dropped on the floor.

He tore of her dress sleeves, "nahi.."

He about to kiss her when he was pulled back, Manvi immediately moved back.. It was Vineet.

He slapped the man hard and said in anger "how dare you touch her!"

The other two comes and he fights with them. Manvi could hear the goons painful screams who requested Vineet to leave them. Ruhana arrrives there with police and three of them were arrested.

Vineet looked at Manvi, who was looking scared. He approached her, he placed his hand on her shoulder and made her stand. He looked around, he picked up her dupatta and wrapped it around her.

Manvi hugs him and cries, he tries to calm her down. "sab thik hai Manvi.. main aa gaya hoon na" he assured her, since he is here nothing can happen to her.

Ruhana smiled seeing them, she said "Vineet yahan se jana chahiye humhe"

Vineet looked at her, he then held Manvi's hand and they walked out from the place.

ViMan's Home

Manvi was lying on bed, doctor checked her up and bandages her wound. Vineet was sitting beside her holding her hand.

Doctor spoke up "she is fine, bas jo jua usse ghabra gayi hai just take care of her"

Vineet thanked him and the doctor left. After sometime, Manvi opened her eyes. She got up and sat up straight.

"thik ho na?" he asked her in concern.

Manvi nodded with a smile "main thik hoon.. aapke rehte mujhe kuch ho sakta hai kya?"

Vineet sighed and says angrily "maine tumse kaha tha nhi jaate hai lekin tumne nahi maani na! Mujhe itna gussa aa raha hai apne parivar pe!"

Just then there was a knock at the door, it was Ruhana. "Vineet, police officer aaya hai kuch puchne.."

Vineet nodded "andar aane ko kaho unhe.."

The police officer comes as Ruhana signals him, he says "Mr. Singhania unn logo ne bataya aapki wife ko uthake chodne ke liye aapke maa baap ne kaha tha kuch bhi karne se pehle main aapse puchna chah raha tha"

Vineet was about say something when Manvi said "nahi inspector isme unka koi haath nhi hai.. unn logo ne mujhe car mein akele baithe dekha aur le gaye"

Vineet was surprised with her answer. Inspector nodded, he said "thik hai thank you" and left from there.

He looked at her in disbelief, Manvi said to Ruhana "ruhana, inko bolo mujhe aise na dekhe."

"tum pagal ho? Why did you lied?" he asked her.

Manvi smiled "unka intention mujhe chot pahuchane ka nhi tha Vineet, wo bas mujhe aapse door karke apna beta chahti thi wapas aur unhe todhi pata hoga ki ye log aisi harkat karenge"

Vineet got up and glanced at Ruhana "tum hi samjao isko, itna sab hone ke baad bhi tarafdari kar rahi hai unki"

Ruhana smiled.. she said "wo sahi hai Vineet, main nhi samjha sakti isko.. tum dono ko jo karna hai karo main chali take care"

She moved out..

Ruhana came to her home and recalled the first meeting with Aarav.

*Flashback*

Ruhana was returning from her friends home it was a bit late. She was not getting any cab at this time. She decided to walk to next stop, to get cab. After walking for 15 minutes she reached the stop and waited for bus or cab. Two man came and started to flirt with her.. "kaha jana hai madam? Hum chod de"

Ruhana ignored them, Aarav came and stood there he was talking on the phone "Are bas cab ka wait kar raha hoon yea.."

"are naam to bata do apna" one of the guy said.

Ruhana glanced at him, she moved to Aarav and hugged "kaha gaye they tum mujhe chodke.. restaurant ka bill pay karne mein itna time lagta hai mr. Husband"

Aarav was shocked, he did not reacted.

The two man moved from there, Ruhana watched them go and steps back. She had a sign of relief "Thank god!"

Aarav spoke up "hello madam? Ye kya batameezi thi? Aise koi kisike gale padta hai kya?"

Ruhana looked at him and said "dekho main bas khudko bacha rahi thi unn logo se.."

Aarav smiled naughtily "Acha? Lekin mujhse kaun bachayega tumhe?"

Ruhana steps back "oh hello! Tum mujhe shakal se shareef lage isliye kiya.. sochna bhi mat"

Aarav said "okay fine! Relax I was just kidding! Shareef hi hoon main"

The bus arrived, Ruhana and Aarav boarded the bus. Aarav asked her "Waise aap itni raat ko akele?"

"dekho zyada mere muh mat lago tum.." Ruhana said as she was irritated with his non-stop talks.

Aarav sighed and said "kamal hai! Ek to khud Mr. Husband banati hai aur ab main baat bhi nhi kar sakta"

Ruhana glanced at him in anger "tum.. na door raho mujhse galti ho gayi maaf karo mujhe"

Aarav moved closer to her "ab to ye galti zindagi bhar nibhani padegi madam! Itni asani se Aarav kisika peecha nhi chodta"

*Flashback over*

She comes out of her trance, she looked at the wall where Aarav's and her picture was hanging. She looked at Aarav's face and complained "maine to galti nibhayi Aarav, tum hi peecha chodke chale gaye.. kitni akeli padh gayi hun tumhare bina main.. kaam mein bhi mann nahi lagta mera"
