Ruhana came to Khushi and Anvi and asked.. "khushi aapki mumma nhi aayi" she asked the little girl.

Khushi looked up at her and replied "ab kya batau main aapko meri mumma mujhe bahut pareshan karti hai jab dekho kaam kaam"

the way she spoke was too cute and it reminded Ruhana of Manvi as she used to speak in the same way.

She recalls.

Manvi was getting ready as it was her college graduation party and families were invited.

She came out and said "di, i am ready chale"

Ruhana nods they were on the way to the venue with 3 years old Anvi. Anvi was sitting on Manvi's lap. Ruhana's phone ranged and she picked up.

"Haan... Abhi" she eyed at Manvi who was staring at her.

"thik hai main aati hun" and disconnects the call. She looked at Manvi

Before she could say Manvi imitated like her "mannu urgent kaam hai jaana hoga"

Ruhana smiled a bit at this "sorry"

Manvi sighed and complained to Anvi "anvi main aapki mumma se pareshan ho gayi hun jab dekho kaam kaam"

Anvi snipped her fingers in front of her and Ruhana came out of her trance.

Khushi looked at Anvi and said "Vi, ab cake cut karo"

Anvi nods and she cuts the cake. She feeds cake to Ruhana then to Khushi.

Everyone leaves the party but Anvi insists Khushi to stay. Khushi looked around, the house was very big.

Anvi said "khushi tum kuch der aur ruk jao"

Khushi said "vi, mumma mera wait karengi mujhe kaka ke saath jaana hai"

Anvi gets sad, Ruhana looks at Anvi "acha main aapki mumma se baat karti hoon unka phone number bolo"

Khushi tells her happily and Ruhana dials her number.

Here Manvi was working on her laptop her phone rang, she looked at the caller id it was unknown number she picked up the call.

"hello.."

Khushi answered the call "mumma.. Vi ka birthday hai na to she wants me to stay here for long."

Manvi speaks in concern "par khushi it is 8 o'clock late ho jayega aapko aap abhi kaka ke saath wapas ghar aayie.."

Khushi gets disappointed. She disconnects the call.

Ruhana understood, she said "Anvi usko jaane do choti hai abhi khushi"

Anvi agrees and Khushi goes with Ramlal.

Khushi reached the colony, she climbed upstairs and moved into the quarter. She hugged Manvi from behind. Manvi smiled and asked her "kaisi rahi party"

Khushi smiles broadly and spoke "bahut achi mumma pata hai unka ghar bahut bada tha toys they kitne sare.."

Manvi pats her head, Khushi asked "mumma hum bade ghar mein kyun hi rehte?"

Manvi didn't know what to say to her. She held her hand and made her stand in front of her, she asked "kyun aapko yahan acha nhi lagta?"

"nahi mumma yeh acha hai lekin bas ek room hai yahi pe chota sa kitchen hai aur Vi ke ghar mein bada kitchen hai bahut rooms hai" Khushi said.

She made her sit on her lap "Khushi beta mumma itna bada ghar nahi le sakti hai wo humse bade log hai na isliye unka ghar bhi bada hai" she made her understand.

Khushi asked her "hum bade kyun nhi hai?"

Manvi said "aap badi ho jao fir humara ghar bhi bada ho jayega"

Khushi smiled and said "thik hai fir khushi badi ho jayegi aur mumma ke liye bada ghar legi"

Manvi smiled and kissed her cheek "acha.. ab aap change karlo and so jao" Khushi agrees.

The next day, Manvi was in the market purchasing grocery. Ruhana was also in the same market.

Ruhana said "yeh pack kardo haan"

Manvi heard her voice, she was sure it was Ruhana she turned back to see but Ruhana had already left.

She thought "yeh mera wahem hai ya sach mein di hai yahan"

She ignores her thought and walks ahead. Ruhana walked into another shop

"bhaiya ear rings dikhana.." she sees earrings and smiles as she selects one.. "yeh de dijiye" she takes them and leaves.

After sometime, Manvi also entered the same shop "mujhe ear rings dekhne hai.."

The shop keeper shows her ear rings she selects the same design which Ruhana had selected but with different color. It was Red and which Ruhana took was Green.

"yeh wale dedo.." she takes them leaves the place.

Manvi comes back to the colony. Khushi was playing with kids..

"khushi chalo upar homework karna hai aapko ab"

Khushi nods. "mumma bas 5 minutes.."

Manvi climbs up the stairs but her leg slips.. "Aah.." she sits on the stair itself.

Khushi comes running to her hearing her scream "mumma kya hua?" she asked caring.

Manvi said "kuch nhi bas pair mein halki si moch aa gayi hai"

Khushi gets angry with her "aap khushi ko bolti ho dhyan se chalo khud dekho kaise chalte ho"

Manvi ruffles her hairs.. "Acha meri daadi amma.. chal.." she gets up and walks with much difficulty to the quarter.

After sometime, Shanta enters in and fixes her leg. She looks at Khushi was worried for her mother. She assured her "khushi tumhari mumma kal tak thik ho jayegi.."

Khushi nods with a smile "acha kaki"

Shanta leaves, Manvi then said "Are khushi main aapke liye ear rings leke aayi thi dekho zara"

Khushi gets excited, she checks the bags and finds them.. "ek dum mast hai kal inhe main school ke function mein pehenke jaungi"

Manvi shook her head "pehen lena"

Khushi tells her strictly "dekho mumma mujhe aapka koi kaam nhi chahiye Vi meri partner hai and aapko Khushi ka performance dekhna hi hai"

Manvi nods "yes mam.."

She keeps her head on Manvi's lap, Manvi smiled and caressed her head. Khushi falls a sleep soon. Manvi kissed her forehead.

Ruhana's home

Ruhana and Anvi were having dinner, Ruhana asked "acha anvi, tumhara competition kab hai?"

Anvi says while eating "mumma padso hai.. aap aaoge na?" she then asked her.

Ruhana nods "haan zaroor.. aur haan tumhare liye maine ear rings liye hai unhe pehenke jaana"

Anvi agrees "of course mumma.. aapki choice to best hai aur pata hai aapko mere saath khushi perform kar rahi hai, specially aapke liye hai mera performance.."

Ruhana was curious to see the act now.. "thik hai ab to main pakka aaungi.."

Anvi smiled.

At school

Khushi and Anvi next day were preparing for the competition. Anvi looked at Khushi who assured her "Vi, aap chinta mat karo khushi koi gadbad nahi karegi"

Anvi smiles and kisses her cheek "I know meri khushi mujhe disappoint nahi karegi"

The event Evening, Manvi entered the hall and grabbed a seat to sit. Ruhana also came to the function who was sitting 3 rows behind Manvi.

The host said "so ladies and gentleman here we present our next performers please clap your hands..

Everyone clap the curtain raises.

Childhood of sisters is shown, and how they grew up to be with each other. Ruhana and Manvi looked carefully this was quite similar to theirs.

Khushi said "di, main jaa rahi hoon.."

Anvi asked "kyun?"

"kyuki mujhe jaana hai bas..." Khushi said in anger and leaves the stage.

Manvi was shocked, she recalled how she left the house in anger.

The background voice.. "bichde they wo, phir dubara milne ke liye.."

Anvi finds khushi.. "kaha chali gayi thi tum pata hai 3 mahine kaise guazare maine"

Khushi holds her ears "Sorry.." and they hug each other..

Ruhana had tears in her eyes.

The background voice "kuch ajeeb si thi harkatein uski, chup chup rehti thi wo.. khushi ka din tha wo jab dono saath har lamha jee rahe they.."

Khushi and Anvi performed the same the day on Anvi's birthday when Manvi left the home.

Khushi says "di, aap yeh lelo.."

Anvi nods "Acha.. chalo shopping karte hai.."

The background voice "din dhala raat aayi.."

Khushi said "soh jao.. di kal sab acha hoga.."

Anvi acts to sleep on the floor.

The background voice "sawera wo tha.. jab badi uthi thi"

Anvi wakes up.. "choti.. kaha ho choti!" she shouts but she was nowhere to be found. Anvi was in tears she shouted "tu fir chodke chali gayi mujhe choti" she drops on the floor.

The background voice "bin kuch kahe, hazar sawal diye jaa chuki thi wo kahi.."

The act ended everyone clapped. Manvi was in left in tears, Ruhana was shocked with the act, Anvi and Khushi bow down. Anvi waves her hand to Ruhana Ruhana too waves her back with a smile Manvi turned back to see to whom Anvi was waving but she could not see the person as the audience was standing.

While going back home Ruhana asked Anvi.. "anvi wo act.."

Anvi looks at her and said "wo bachpan ka jo dikhaya wo sab aapse pucha tha maine aapko yaad hoga.. maasi ke baare mein.."

Ruhana nods.. Anvi further tells "baki jitna yaad tha wahi dikhaya.. isse acha act mujhe milta hi nahi iss competition mein"

Ruhana sides hugs her and recalls the letter which Manvi had left for her. Tears brimmed down her eyes. Anvi said "sorry mumma aapko rula diya Anvi ne"

Ruhana wiped her tears "nahi beta aisa nahi hai tumhara act tha hi emotional sab roye honge"

Manvi was with Khushi and asked her "khushi wo act Vi ne banaya?"

Khushi nods "haan aapko acha laga na"

Manvi speaks up "haan bahut acha tha.. acha tum use Vi bulati ho ya uska naam hi vi hai?" she asked as she had doubt in her mind.

Khushi nods in no "Are nhi main usko Vi bulati hoon unka naam to Anvi hai.."

Manvi gets shocked hearing this.. "Anvi.."

In her mind "Manvi tu kya soch rhi hai Anvi naam ke aur log bhi ho sakte hai.."

Khushi spoke up "mumma aap kaha kho jaate ho"

Manvi nods in nothing.. "kuch nhi.. aap mujhe Anvi se milwaogi?"

Khushi agrees "haan main to uss din bhi aa rhi thi par aap nhi mile.. kal school mein milwa dungi.."

Manvi wanted to clear the doubt which was disturbing her a lot.

The next day

Manvi and Khushi went to the school.

Anvi was on the way to school along with Ruhana..

Anvi said "mumma aap bhi na zaroori hai kya meri teacher se milna"

Ruhana nods "haan unka call aaya tha subah ab unhe urgent baat karni hogi to main kya kar sakti hoon"

Anvi shakes her head..

Khushi was standing with Manvi at the gate and eyeing for Anvi.. "mumma Vi aati hi hogi.."

The auto stops, Khushi sees Anvi and smiles.. "mumma aa gayi Vi.."

Manvi looks at the direction where Khushi was pointing.. Ruhana and Anvi both come out of the auto.

Khushi shouts "Vi...."

To be continued.
