The next morning, Aarav woke up. He looked at the time, it was 7 am. He searched for his phone but could not find it. He realised it is with Ahana. He sighed deeply.

"Oh no.. manvi ko yahan 8 baje tak aana hoga warna first day hi gadbad ho jayegi" he self talked.

He thought "but wo toh 10 baje se pehle uthti hi nahi hai.. Hey bhagwan kaise use phone karke jagau"

He quickly freshened up and moved to ahana's room. He entered inside and found her sleeping soundly.

He tried to look for his phone, but could not find it. He knew his sister well, he moved near to her and slide his hand under the pillow. He smiled when his hands touched the phone. He quickly removed it, Ahana moved.

She was opening her eyes, he panicked. He slide down under the bed.

Ahana stood up and moved into the washroom. Aarav had a sigh of relief. "Aarav babu.. Tumhare lag gaye hai buri tarah se" he murmured to himself

"Isse pehle Ahana aaye.. Fatafat Manvi ko call kar aur nikal yahan se" he called Manvi.

Manvi's Home

It was an apartment, Manvi was sleeping in her room. The room was at mess, papers were on the floor, clothes were hanging at the corner of the room.

The phone was ringing, her sleep disturbed with it. She disconnected the call.

Aarav was shocked.. "Ye ladki marwayegi.." he again called.

Finally, Manvi picked up the call and attached it to her ear. She said in sleepy tone "hello.."

"Manvi. Wake up bhool gayi tumhe mere ghar aana hai.. Challenge" he said hurriedly.

Manvi smiled hearing his voice "Aarav.. Abhi sone do na thodi der mein aati hun" she said.

"Bulbul Di ko late lateef pasand nahi hai.. 8 baje tak tum ghar mein honi chahiye samjhe first day impression is the last impression.. Aur I am sure tumhe late lateef ka tag nahi chahiye unse" he said.

Manvi opened her eyes completely "okay aati hun main.."

The call ended, Manvi looked at the time it was 7.15 am. She smiled.. "Bas 10 minute aur phir jaungi" she closed her eyes and slept again.

Raichand Villa

Aarav was still under the bed, he thought "uthi hogi ki nahi? Ek baar phirse call kar leta hun.."

He again dialled her number, the phone ranged. She picked up the call.. "Manvi utho.. Phir mat kehna meri shaadi nahi hui tumhare saath" he intentionally said those words.

Manvi woke up with jerk.. "Aa rahi hun.. Main.."

He smiled broadly and ended the call. He slide out of the bed and found Ahana standing there with crossing her arms around her chest and glaring at him.

He stood up and smiled "Good morning sis.." he said.

"Don't you force me to break your phone.. Meri baat samajh nahi aati hai tumhe" she yelled at him.

He glared at her.. "Chillao nahi.. Mera phone hai main jab marzi chahe tab le sakta hun" he argued.

Ahana snatched his phone from his hand and said angrily "but ab 20 din nahi milega samjhe.. Aur agar tumne phirse liya na I will break it.."

He stamped his foot in anger and left. Ahana smiled..

Manvi's Home

Manvi moved to washroom and came out after 20 minutes, she glanced at the time. It was 7.45 am. "Hey bhagwan itna time ho gaya.. Where the hell is mine dress"

She looked around and in order to find her dress, she messed up the room more. She sighed and wore another dress. She tied up hairs and left. She sat inside the car and drove off to Aarav's home.

Raichand Villa

Bulbul go ready to leave for work. She glanced at the time, it was 8.15 am. She moved to the dining area. Aarav and Ahana were waiting for her.

Bulbul sat on the chair and said "8 baje kaha tha aane ko and abtak nahi aayi hai.."

Aarav looked at her and replied "Aati hogi di.."

Ahana said adding more fuel into the fire "dekha di pehle din hi late.. Aage jaake pata nahi kya hoga.."

Aarav said "Aa jayegi Ahana.."

"I am not going to wait for her... kaki breakfast layie" Bulbul said strictly.

The breakfast was served to them.

Here, Manvi parked the car and came out of it. She moved but stopped when she heard a sound. She turned behind and saw her dress stuck at the door. She closed her eyes and stamped her foot in anger.. "Why? Isko bhi abhi atakke fhatna tha"

She opened the door and pulled the dress, now how can she walk in with this torn dress. "Pehle din hi galat impression pad jayega.."

But she had no choice, she moved inside and walked to the entrance. She entered inside, everyone was getting up from dining table.

Ahana, Bulbul looked at her and sighed in disappointment.

"What is this? Don't you have clothes to wear?" Ahana asked angrily.

Manvi replied "car se utarte waqt atak gayi thi fhat gayi warna bahut kapde hai mere paas"

"Zaban mat ladao tum, pure aadhe ghante late aayi ho tum! Pehle din hi late aur aise" Ahana said firmly.

Manvi sighed, she was about to say something but Aarav signalled her to be quiet.

"Miss Manvi.. First day is the last impression you must know it.. Anyways.. I am going for office sham ko aaungi then I will tell you what to do tabtak Ahana will take command" Bulbul said.

A broad smile appeared on Ahana's face.

Bulbul looked at Aarav "Tum.. chalo office aaj ki meeting tum handle karoge" she said.

Aarav eyed her with open mouth "what? Di aapne bataya nahi I am not even prepared" he said.

"Wo tum raste mein kar sakte ho.. Let's go" she held his hand pulled him along. Aarav and Manvi glanced at each other helplessly.

Ahana thought "Are waah.. Aaj toh ye mere control mein hai.. Maza aayega itna kaam karwaungi sham tak bhaag jayegi"

Aarav and Bulbul left for office, Manvi sighed.. "Aarav bhi gaya" her face fell.

Ahana came to her and smiled "Aww.. Aarav gaya bura lag raha hai?" she asked teasingly.

Manvi passed her a fake smile "sham ko aa jayega" she said.

"Yea.. acha suno lunch mein tumhe pata hi hoga kya banana hai and Di aur Aarav ke liye khana office bhijwana hoga tumhe driver ke haatho ye sab ho jayega na?" Ahana asked

Manvi looked at her in shock. She bit her nail and thought "itna sab.. Hey bhagwan.."

Ahana snipped her fingers in front of her.. "Oye.. hoga ya main bawarchi ko bolu?"

"Haan haan ho jayega" Manvi said.

Ahana smiled "then.. Kitchen udhar hai" she pointed.

Manvi moved to the kitchen. Ahana smiled and thought "banao Manvi gobi ke parathe aur karele ki sabzi.. "

Ahana sat down on the couch and turned on the television.

Manvi started preparing the food. It took almost 3 hours to finish up everything. Ahana moved in to see and was shocked seeing the mess.

She shouted "what have you done to the kitchen"

Manvi looked, the flour was on the floor. The vegetable leftover was all over the place. She sighed.. "Saaf kar dungi na.. Abhi sab ban gaya hai"

Ahana sighed.. And looked at the time "ab kya fayda? Di thik ek baje lunch karti hai abhi dekho 1.30 ho rahe hai.. Office pahuchte pahuchte 2 baj jayenge.." she said angrily.

"Toh ab kya karun main?" she asked.

"Sham ko di aayengi dinner hi karwana unhe.. Aarav hai na unhe kuch na kuch khila dega" Ahana replied and went away smiling.

Manvi sighed, she called Aarav. His phone ranged and it was with Ahana. She disconnected the call.. "Yeh toh call bhi nahi utha raha mera.."

Later in evening, Aarav and Bulbul returned home. Bulbul was silent, she straight went into her room.

Aarav looked around and found Manvi. He moved to her and asked "lunch nahi bheja tumne?"

"Wo Ahana ne kaha ki bulbul di 1 baje lunch karti hai.. Aur main late ho gayi thi" Manvi replied.

Aarav sighed.. "Kya kar rahi ho Manvi? Aise toh di 20 din kya 20 saal mein bhi impress nahi hongi" he said a bit angrily.

She made crying face "ek toh tum mera phone nahi uthate ho... itni koshish kar rahi hun main.. Koi tareef hi nahi" she said crossing her arms around her chest.

"I am sorry.. Dekho Di ka mood bahut kharab hai.. Tum unke liye coffee banado please.." he said politely.

She smiled and moved to the kitchen. She prepared coffee then came out. She saw Bulbul sitting on the couch with magazine in her hand. She moved and forwarded her the coffee. Bulbul took it from her hand and drank it.

She said something which shocked Manvi..

To be continued.
