Aniket enters the room, Nitya glances at him through the mirror and asked "samjha aaye Aaru ko?"

"Haan samjha toh aaya.. Lekin wo kitna samjha wahi jaane" Aniketi said.

Nitya turns to him and smiles "mere devarji samajhdaar hai.."

"Haan dikh rahi hai uski samajhdari mujhe.. Manvi ko wahi hospital mein bhool aaya" Aniket comments and the concern was reflecting in his eyes.

Nitya raises her eyebrow "bhai kiska hai aakhir" she taunts.

Aniket stared at her and comments "main aise kisiko insaan ko kahi bhoolke nahi aata hun"

"Really?? Remember jab hum apne honeymoon pe jaa rahe they.. Late ho gaye they toh tum khud to train mein chad gaye aur mujhe peeche chod diya.." she reminds him.

Aniket begins to think hard. He smiled innocently and Nitya winked at him.

"Haan toh agle station pe utarke.. Wapas bhi toh lauta" Aniket exclaims.

"Ji.. yaad aaya ki honeymoon pe akele nahi jaana hota! Biwi bhi hoti hai saath mein.." Nitya said,

Aniket gets the point "haan fine.. Aaru ki zyadatar habits mujhpe hai! I agree.."

"Good! Toh pehle khudko sudharyie phir mere devar ko sudharna aur samjhana" Nitya said with a scarcastic smile on her face.

Aniket sighed deeply "offo.. Ye bhabhi devar ko toh kuch kah hi nahi sakte..aane do beti ko meri phir dekhna kaise tum dono ko tang karte hai hum" he said.

"What do you mean by aane do beti ko? Tang toh aap mujhe ab bhi karte hi ho" Nitya rebukes.

"Main tang nahi karta hun.. Ladai iss ghar mein do praani karte hai" Aniket concludes.

Nitya sighed deeply "main yahi toh nahi chahti.. Dono ko saath dekhna chahti hun main forever," she said.

"Nitu... zindagi bhar dono saath kaise rahenge??" this is totally unexpected.

"Kyun nahi rah sakte? Hamare liye saath aaye hai na dono 9 mahine ke liye.." Nitya adds.

"Haa.. majburi mein! Shaadi ko ek contract bana diya ek baar ye pregnancy ho jaaye phir batata hun Aaru ko shaadi ka maltab" Aniket muttered.

"Ani.. ek baar dono pe pyaar ho jaye na toh shayad dono shaadi ka asli matlab bhi samajh jayenge aur ye majburi mein uthaya kadam inhe hamesha ke liye atoot rishte mein bandh dega" Nitya spoke positvely.

"I hope aisa ho.. Lekin jo harkatein hai dono ki ye impossible lagta hai" Aniket said.

"Itni koshishon ke baad hum finally parents banne jaa rahe hai na?" she asked.

He shook his head affirmatively.

"Toh jab ye miracle ho sakta hai toh meri behen aur Aaru mein pyaar kyun nahi?"

"Accepted! Tumse toh jeet hi nahi sakta hun main" he sighed deeply.

Nitya laughed at this comment of his.. "Mujhse kya tum Aaru se bhi nahi jeet sakte ho!"

"Haan haan thik hai aane do baby ko phir batayenge tum bhabhi aur devar ko" Aniket said

Nitya was excited "ani.... Abhi toh kuch din hi hue hai kaise katenge ye 9 mahine?" she asked

"kat jayenge Nitu.. Jahan 7 saal intezar kiya hai waha 9 mahine aur sahi" Aniket said, holding his hand.

Nitya smiles and hugs him.

Aarav shouts "bhabhi maa"

They parted the hug and Aarav comes running. His eyes were filled with tears, Nitya asked "kya hua Aaru?"

"wo chipku... aap chalo jaldi" he said and pulled her to his room.

Aniket followed, they were worried. Nitya sees Manvi sitting on the bed crying, she moves to her and asked "kya hua manvi??"

"Di... pata nahi bas rona aa raha hai" she said

Aarav said in a panic tone "bhabhi maa main jab gayaa tab ye ulti kar rahi thi.. aur saman idhar udhar kar rahi thi"

Nitya and Aniket laughed... "offo Aaru dara hi diya tumne! Pregnancy mein aisa hota hai mood swings toh bahut zyda" Nitya said.

Aarav had a sigh of relief "thank god sab thik hai..."

Nitya ruffles his hair at his innocence "paagal.. Ladka acha chalo neeche sab nashta taiyar hai"

Everyone moved downstairs and settled on the dining table. "Saali sahiba... aaj ka kya plan hai aapka?" Aniket asked.

"Jiju aaj mera ek show hai.." Manvi replied picking up the paratha from the plate.

"Aaru.. tu Manvi ko leke jaana aur wapas le aana" Aniket spoke.

"Bhai.. mujhe office mein bahut kaam hai.." He denied.

"Ek din office na jaane se tera kaam ruk nahi jayega.." Aniket argued with him.

"Jiju.. relax main pregnant hui hun.. Koi beemari nahi hui hai mujhe! I can go myself" Manvi spoke.

"Aniket galat nahi kah raha hai.. Itne samay baad khushkhabri aayi hai ghar mein.. Jis tarah ki tumhari harkat hai na uss hisab se toh tumhe ghar pe hi rehna chahiye" Kaushalya said.

Nitya smiled and replied "maaji.. Meri behen ache se janti hai kab kis tarah se bartaav karna hai.. Aur apna khayal bhi rakhna janti hai"

Manvi passed a flying kiss to her. She quickly ate breakfast and left for the studio. After some time Aniket and Aarav also left for their respective office.

Nitya eyed at Kaushalya and spoke "maaji.. Aap mujhe pasand nahi karti hai thik hai.. Koi baat nahi hai par meri behen hamara bacha apne kok mein paal rahi hai toh thodi si uski ijzat toh kar lijiye..."

Kaushalya gets up and goes to her room while Nitya gets busy with her daily chores.

S.k. Studios

Manvi reached and went straight backstage to get the outfits. She changed and sat down in front of the mirror. The make artist came and does her make-up while the hair stylist sets her hair.

After about an hour, she goes and does the ramp walk. She looks at the audience and finds Aarav sitting right in front of her. A male model comes and stands behind her keeping his hand on her waist.

Aarav shot a deadly glare at him "chance nahi chodke hai ladke mauka ka fayda uthane ka" he murmured.

The show ended and Aarav went backstage to meet Manvi. She changed and the male model came to her. He praised her "you are really beautiful and hot!"

Manvi smiled at him "thank you.." she said.

"Well.. I was thinking if you could come on a dinner date with me tonight?" he asked.

Manvi saw Aarav entering inside and thought of teasing him. She agreed "sure why not.. I would love you have dinner with you," she said a bit louder.

Aarav was shocked to hear her, "kitni besharam hai! Temperory hi sahi pati toh hun main.."

Aarav tapped his shoulder, the man turns and asked "ji..?"

"Naam kya hai tumhara?" Aarav asked.

"Agastya" he replied.

"Mr. Agastya.. Dusron ki biwi ko date pe le jaana paap hota hai.." Aarav said with a fake smile on his face.

Agastya said "toh main tumhari biwi ko thodi leke jaa raha hun.. Itna kyun chidd rahe ho?"

"Wo peeche jo khadi hai na.. Meri wife hai" Aarav said.

Agastya was shocked to hear that, he turns to Manvi and refuses "nahi nahi.. Main iski wife nahi hun I will see you tonight address message kar dungi mujhe pick up kar lena" she walked out of the room.

Aarav held Agastya's neck in his arm and pressed it "khabardar jo aaj raat mere ghar ke aas paas bhi nazar aaya toh.." he gave a warning to him.

Agastya gulps down his throat, Aarav leaves him and walks out of the studio.

Manvi was standing next to his car, Aarav gave her a look.. "Kya tha andar wo?" he asked.

"Kya tha??" she asked innocently.

"Tum janti ho.. Ye harkatein karke kya sabit karna chahti ho tum?" he questioned.

"Why do you care?? Meri life hai main jo marzi kar sakti hun.. Hum sirf husband wife hone ka natak kar rahe hai... na toh hamare beech pyaar hai.. ek dusre ke liye respect toh bilkul nahi hai.. Tumhe kya farak padta hai main kisi ke saath bhi kahin bhi jau" Manvi said.

"Farak padta hai.. Sab jante hai hum dono husband wife hai.. And tum aise kisi ke saath dinner pe jaogi agar kisi media waale ko pata chala toh? Naam toh mera kharab hoga na.." Aarav confronts her.

"Yahi toh main chahti hun.." Manvi said happily.

"Main bhi dekhta hun kaise jaati ho tum" Aarav frowned..

"Main bhi dekhti hun kaise rokte ho tum mujhe" Manvi said and sits inside the car.

Aarav made a face "bahar niklo"

Manvi smiled "patidevji... aap mere liye aaye hai na toh wapas leke jayie mujhe.." she said in a teasing way.

Aarav was annoyed with her, he takes a deep breath and sits inside. He heads back towards him and thought "acha fayda utha rahi hai pregnant hone ka. Ek baar bacha aa jaye phir apni life se door kar dunga"

Manvi smiled as she noticed jealously on his face today.
