The grand party was organised, and many guests attended the party. Aarav was busy with colleagues.

His eyes fell on someone and were shocked seeing Manvi at the party. He did not react, just then Bulbul called him at the centre.

He went, Ahana smiled and side hugged him.

Bulbul made the announcement "ladies and gentlemen, it's time now to announce the engagement of my brother Aarav Raichand with Arushi Sinha"

Ahana and everyone clapped, Manvi smiled and clapped.

Just then Arushi came on stage with her family, Ahana said "Di.. aaj hi engagement kar dete hai"

Bulbul nodded in yes, the servant got the engagement ring and Aarav took it. He glanced at Manvi for a while, Manvi asked him to smile and she gave him permission to go on.

Aarav slid the ring into Arushi's hand and Arushi slid the ring into his hand. Everyone clapped, Aarav tried to control his emotions but failed. He left the stage and came to the drinking area.

He asked for a drink and the bartender gave him. He gulped it down in one go. He looked around but Manvi was not there.

He walked out of the house and drove off to Manvi's house.

Bulbul was searching for Aarav but he was nowhere to be seen. She was in dilemma, was she doing right with him? She needs to have a conversation with him regarding the matter.

She knew he agreed for marriage just for her respect.

While Aarav arrived at her apartment and rang the bell hardly. Manvi opened the door and was shocked by seeing him.

"Aarav.. Tum" she uttered in shock.

He pushed her inside and closed the door. "Why?? Mere saath hi kyun?? Jawab do??" he asked with tears in his eyes.

"Aarav..."

"Nahi.. let me speak tumhari madad karun toh behen naraz hoti thi.. Tumhe manau unhe manau.. Meri kya galti hai?? Just maine pyar kiya isliye??" he asked..

He sighed "I can't marry someone Manvi, tumse pyar karta hun main aur apni Di ke decision ke against bhi nahi jaa sakta I don't want to hurt her" he broke down.

She pulled him into a hug.. "Maine pyar kyun kiya Manvi?? Na karta toh aaj mujhe itni takleef nahi hoti.."

Tears slid down her eyes and she said "Aarav pyar toh maine bhi kiya hai tumse.. Aur main tumhe tumhari behen se door karke shuruwat nahi kar sakti hun promise me tum Ahana ya Di ke liye koi karwahat nahi rakhoge apne dil mein?"

Aarav glanced at her and said "hadh hai.. Ek taraf meri behenein hai jo mujhe order deti hai aur idhar tum mujhse waade chahti ho.. Kya meri khushi koi matter nahi karti??" he was not in senses.

Manvi said in a calm tone "karti hai Aarav, and I know your sisters are everything to you.. Be with them and forget me" 

"No..." he said adamantly..

"Aarav.. Tum drink nahi karte aaj kyun ki?? Di ko bura lagega na" Manvi said.

"Shut up Manvi.. Tumhare paas hi rehne do mujhe" He said as he needed her the most.

He was not ready to leave her, he had tightened his grip around her waist tightly. Manvi sighed..

Aarav then eyed her and smiled "sahi kehti hai Ahana.. Tum chudail ho.."

Manvi was left with an open mouth hearing him "what??"

"Haan.. dekho kaise bhikre hai baal tumhare.. Ek dum chudail lag rahi ho" he said laughing and started playing with her hairs.

"Uff.. Aarav chodo" she said irritatedly as she didn't like anyone touching her hairs. He pushed him and stood up.

He got angry with her move and broke the vase which was on the table. Manvi turned with the noise.. "Aarav.."

"Buri ho tum.. Meri baat nahi maanti" he complained cutely.

"I won't talk to you," he said making face.

Manvi sighed at his drama. No matter whatever state he is in, he ends up starting his nonsense.

Manvi went to the kitchen and Aarav followed her. He pulled her and asked "you ignored me?? Bad very bad"

Manvi sighed.. "Aarav......"

"What? Give me a kiss" he said, making a pout face.

Manvi denied "no.. you are engaged now.."

Aarav stamped his foot in anger "kiss do warna main yahan se nahi jaunga" he said like a stubborn kid.

Manvi had no option than to listen to him. She kissed his cheek and pushed him out of the kitchen.

"Are.. ye kya bacho waali kiss di?? Mujhe wo waali kiss chahiye" he said being naughty.

Manvi sighed and mumurmed "isko ghar chodke aana padega"

She pulled him out of the house and took him downstairs. He kept on shouting "give the kiss"

Manvi kept her hand on his mouth to shut him as it was night and neighbours could wake up. She asked him to sit inside the car but he denied.

"Baitho warna kiss nahi dungi" she said glaring at him.

He sat on the bonnet of the car and forwards his face "doo"

Manvi hit her head in disappointment.

She said in a calmed tone "Aarav.. Car ke andar baitho"

He got down and opened the door, he sat inside. Manvi shut the door and came to the drive side. She sat inside and he demanded again "mera kisss..."

She sighed and started driving to his house. He was talking nonsense. She was trying to control her anger.

"Katti hun main tumse.. Tumne mujhe kiss nahi diya" he said.

Finally, she arrived at his house and asked the guard to open the door. He opened it and she parked the car inside. 

She then saw a few guests still inside the bungalow. She does not want Aarav to create any scene in front of them. She turned but Aarav was not there. She sighed.. "Ye kaha gaya.."

She stepped out of the car and searched for him but she was not able to find him.

Just then Ahana came there, she scolded her "What are you doing here?? Aur Aarav kaha hai?"

Manvi sighed and said "Ahana.. Wo mere ghar aaya tha he was drunk aur ajeeb behave kar raha hai"

Ahana was shocked "What?? Hey bhagwan ye peeke hamesha tamasha karta hai pichli baar galti se drink ki thi isne toh party mein tamasha kiya tha Di was so embarrassed.."

"Haa.. I know usko dhundo jaldi wo andar na jaane paaye" Manvi said.

Ahana and Manvi began to search for him at different locations.
