Paris, France

It has been three hours, Aarav returns back to the hotel as police had informed him they found Manvi. He sees her arguing with the police officer in the hotel lobby. He sighed deeply "ye ladki hum dono ko jail karwayegi"

Manvi shouted "aap log aise kaise mujhe wahan se uthake yahan laa sakte hai?? Uss bechare organiser ko bhi andar kar diya aapne"

The lady inspector got annoyed as she was blabbering in Hindi. She said "mam.. Now I am going to arrest you"

"Arrest me?? Do it.." she said

Aarav came closer and hugs her tightly "mil gayi tum.." Manvi feels suffocated with the hug, she hits on his leg and he parts away.

He smiles towards the lady inspector "thank you for finding her.."

"What?? But I wasn't lost at all." Manvi clarified.

The inspector glared at him and he apologises for the unconvinced caused. The inspector leaves giving the warning and charging penalty for confusion the police.

Manvi stared at him angrily and Aarav smiles innocently. "Tumhara deemag kharab hai kya?? Maine bataya toh tha main trial ke liye jaa rahi hun" she shouts at him in front of all.

"Kab bataya tumne?? Batake jaati toh itna bada confusion hota hi nahi mujhe" he argued.

She was annoyed with him, she heads towards the room and he follows her.

"Sambhalke chalo na.. Gir jaogi" he said out of concern.

She just kept on walking, she stopped in front of the room door and turned back towards him "Card??" she forwards her hand.

He takes it out from his jeans pocket and opens the door, she marched inside the room and he follows her. Aarav sighed deeply "Are bataogi bhi! Kab bataya tumne mujhe"

Manvi looks around and picks up the paper from the table. She shows it to him and he eyed her innocently. He held the paper and read the note..

"Customs trial ke liye studio jaa rahi hun! Will be back in few hours.."

He gulps down his throat and smiled at her. He panicked not finding her into the room and didn't noticed the note on the table. He gave her a look and said "haa toh.. Uthake bhi bol sakti thi na?? Ye note chodne ki kya zaroorat thi purani filmon ki tarah"

"Are tum soh rahe they! Tumhari neend disturb kar deti toh baad mein tum hi mujhe sunate na" she argued with him.

"Ye tumne mujhe uthaye bina kaise jaana? Akele gayi tum! Kuch ho jaata toh?? Anjaan shahar hai.. Log kaise hai kuch pata nahi hai.." he spoke all this out of concern and she smiles hearing him. However, she maintained her anger as he had gone over her nerves.

"Tumhari ek stupid galti ki wajah se.. Bechara wo organiser arrest ho gaya! Jante ho isse mera contract cancel ho sakta hai?? Mujhe international shows offers hone band ho sakte hai.. Chodungi nahi tumhe main aaj" she yelled at him and began to hit him with her hands.

Aarav held her arms and said "jungli billi.. Shant ho jao itna gussa karna acha nahi hai iss haal mein"

"Gusse ki wajah bhi tumne hi di hai mujhe" she argued with him, she punches him on his chest and lands on the bed along with her.

She stared at him and he was lost in her eyes for a moment.

Here downstairs Aniket and Nitya reached the hotel. Aniket held her hand tightly and said "mil jayegi manvi nitya.. Hum aa gaye hai na.."

"Haan Ani.. lekin mujhe zyada fikar Aaru ki ho rahi hai" she spoke.

Aniket rolls his eyes towards her and said "gayab mannu hui hai aur tumhe zyda fikar apne devar ki hai?"

"Haa.. kyuki mannu Aaru ki tarah emotional nahi hai itni! Musibat hogi toh samne waale ko musibat mein daalke aa jayegi lekin Aaru ne soch sochke hi apna haal bura kar liya hoga" Nitya spoke.

Aniket smiles "wo aisa hi hai.. Ab bhi baitha hoga pareshan room mein chalo jaake pehle usko dekhte hai" he said.

Nitya nodded, she walked ahead and Aniket enquired at the reception about ArMan's room. The receptionist informs him and they headed upstairs.

Aniket hears the sound of Aarav and Manvi. He eyed at Nitya and said "mujhe hi sirf sunayi de rahi hai ya tumhe bhi?"

Nitya carefully listened "ek second.. Mannu..." the room was just two door away. They took fast steps towards their room and the door was left open. They walked inside and saw them arguing over some matter.

Nitya was left with open mouth and Aniket raised his eyebrow "lo ye toh yahi hai.. Kaha gayab hui hai?" he questioned.

"Aaru.. mannu.." Nitya took their names.

They turned towards Anitya, Manvi was shocked to see them standing in front of her eyes. She asked surprisingly "Di.. jiju aap dono yahan?"

Aniket glared at Aarav and demanded explanation for his prank over the phone. "Aaru.. itna bada prank phone pe?" he asked.

Aarav denies and said "nahi bhai.. Prank nahi tha ye sach mein gayab ho gayi thi"

Manvi gave him a look and said all annoyed "main gayab nahi hui thi! Tumhari galti hai tumne note nahi padha mera"

Aarav said "tumhari galti hai! Akele gayi tum..."

"Shut up guys!" Aniket scolded both of them.

Nitya glanced at Aarav and crosses her arms across her chest "Aaru... ye kya mazak hai?? Phone pe tumhari baat sunke main kitni ghabra gayi thi.. Ani ko phone karke ghar bulaya aur turant pehli flight leke yahan aaye hai hum!" she said.

"Bhabhi maa.. Sachi ye gayab hui thi!" he told her whatever happened.

Aniket sighed deeply "hey bhagwaan! Kya karun main iss ladke ka.. Itna zyada over protective ho gaya hai manvi ko leke ki.. Note bhi nahi dekhna isne.. Thik se kamra check nahi kiya!" Aniket slaps his head from behind.

Aarav made an innocent face as it was an honest mistake. Tears brims down his eyes as he genuinely got worried for her, his intentions weren't to trouble anyone. Nitya cleans his eyes with tip of her fingers and pulls him into a hug.

She caressed his head.. "Kya Ani.. mannu mere Aaru ko dante jaa rahe ho!"

Manvi was shocked at this "Di.. itna sab ho gaya aur aap ab bhi iski side logi"

"Mannu.. Isne jo kiya tere liye hi toh tha na?? Pareshan ho gaya tha.. Tu pregnant hai aur shahar bhi anjaan hai!" Nitya said.

"Wahi toh bhabhi maa kabse isko bol raha hun lekin aapki ziddi behen sunti hi nahi hai meri" Aarav complained.

Manvi stamped her foot in anger "aur jo iski wajah se organiser andar hua.. Police waalo ko penalty deni padi.. Mr. Raichand organiser bahar nahi hua na toh yahi se dhakka de dungi tumhe" she shouted.

"Are.. police waale kya mere baap hai jo mere kehne pe chod denge usko ulta main andar ho jaunga" He argued with her.

Manvi glanced at the vase, she picked it up and was about to hit him but Aniket stops her. He pulls her out of the room and said "Saali sahiba.. Shant.. Ho jao"

Manvi glared at him "jiju aapka bhai... kyun itna tang karta hai mujhe"

He takes her downstairs to the hotel restaurant. He makes her sit on the chair and orders some juice for her. He forwards it to her and said "peeyo.."

Manvi denies "nahi peena.."

"Mannu.. Peeyo baby ke liye" he said softly.

Manvi nods and drinks the juice, she had been calm by now. He sits in front of her and said "mannu... Aaru ne jo kiya uske liye I am sorry"

"Jiju please aap maafi mat mango! Stupid hai wo.. Itna sab kar diya" she said

Aniket smiles "Stupid nahi hai mannu.. Bas parwah mujhse Nitu se zyda karta hai tumhari! Acha ye batao agar uski jagah tum hoti toh kya tum bhi wahi nahi karti haan?" he questions.

Manvi nodded in yes "karti jiju.. Pata nahi aajkal kya ho gaya hai mujhe! Itna gussa kar diya maine"

He said "it's okay hota hai pregnancy mei.."

"Sorry jiju.. Hamari wajah se aapko aur Di ko pareshani hui" she apologized.

"Actually nahi bhi.. Issi bahane mera aur Nitya ke second honeymoon ho jayega" Aniket said winking at her.

Manvi laughed hearing him and Aniket adored her "dekha kitni achi lagti ho haste hue.. Aise hi raha karo"

Manvi smiles and they headed back towards the room.

In the room

"Sorry bhabhi maa.. Meri wajah se aapko aur bhai ko pareshan hui lekin maine sach mein nahi dekha wo note.." Aarav said innocently.

"It's okay Aaru.. main samajhti hun" she said cupping his face.

"Nahi bhabhi maa.. Kitna gussa dila diya maine usko! Kahi baby ko kuch ho gaya toh? Nahi nahi.. Maine kaha tha main nahi rakh paunga uska khayal.. Ab main bhai ke saath wapas jaunga aap raho uske saath" He said in a panic tone.

She held his hand and made him sit down on the bed. She then takes her place beside him and rubbed his palm "Aaru.. kuch nahi hua hai.. Kuch nahi hoga baby ko tumhari wajah se toh bilkul nahi" she tried to explain him.

"Nahi.. aapne dekha na kitna gussa karke gayi hai" he said.

"Tum jante ho na? Pregnancy mein aise hota hai.. Kabhi gussa hote hai kabhi rote hai.. Mere time pe bhi ye sab tha na Aaru" she tried to explain.

"Par bhabhi maa.." he paused when she glared at him.

"Tune usse shaadi kyu kari thi Aaru?" Nitya asked.

Aarav silently looked at her, Nitya gave him a questionable look "batao Aaru.."

"Usko protect karne ke liye.. Baby ke liye" he replies.

"Toh aaj jo tumne kiya wo bhi protection thi na? Baby ke liye hi tha na.." she exclaimed and he nodded in yes.

"Bas phir.. Aur mujhe vishwas hai mera Aaru aage bhi apne bhai ki surrogate aur baby ka khayal rakhega" Nitya said

Aarav smiles hearing her words and said "Sorry bhabhi maa.. Maine sabko aise.."

She ruffles his hair.. "Paagal.."

Manvi had heard the conversation and she glanced at Aniket. He whispers in her ears.. "Bhabhi maa ka laadla devar kuch zyada hi senti hai.." she smiles and again felt a soft feeling in her heart towards him. It seems slowly her hatred for him was turning into love which she was yet to realize.
