During the night time, Manvi was inside her room, she was having some pending file work. Khushi came inside the room and said "mumma khushi ko sulao na please"

Manvi looked at her and answered "khushi beta I am sorry par mumma ko kal yeh submit karna hai aaj aap khudse soh jao"

Khushi pouts and nods in no "nahi na.. aap sulao khushi ko"

Manvi sighed as she knew Khushi won't sleep till she get her to sleep. Ruhana entered inside the room and said "Are khushi koi baat nhi aaj maasi aapko sula deti hai"

Manvi smiled at this, Khushi said innocently "lekin aapko nahi pata na mumma kaise sulati hai"

Ruhana smiled and said "khushi aapki mumma ko bhi main hi sulati thi chalo aao"

Khushi nodes and went with Ruhana to the room. Anvi was sitting on bed and reading a book. Khushi lay down on bed. Ruhana covered her with the blanket and pats her head lightly. With her smooth touch, khushi smiled and falls asleep after few minutes. Ruhana kissed her forehead. She looked towards Anvi, who had also fallen asleep while reading book. She moved to her, carefully took the book from her kissed her forehead, turning off the lights moved out of the room.

She comes to Manvi finds her busy with her file work. She said "mannu so ja kal school jaana hai na?"

Manvi looked at her and informed her "di school ka extension plan mujhe kal submit karna hai bas ek ghanta ka kaam hai main phir so jaungi.. aap jaake so jayie"

Ruhana nodded and goes to her room to sleep saying "soh jaana warna subah uthogi nahi"

Manvi smiled lightly and thought "di wo toh saalo pehle hi baat thi ab sab badal gaya hai meri aadatein bhi" she sighed and continued with her work.

The next day, Manvi woke up and looked at the time it was 7 am. She sighed.. "aaj to pakka late hongi" she got up from bed folding the blanket and arranging it properly left to wake up Khushi.

She was about to enter inside the room but Anvi stopped her with "aap andar nhi aa sakti strangers are not allowed to enter inside this room"

Manvi sighed and said "lekin Khushi ko uthana hai school ke liye"

Anvi looks at Khushi who was sleeping on other single bed peacefully and told her "anvi usko utha degi aap jao yahan se"

Manvi tries to convince her "lekin wo nhi uthegi tumse"

Anvi said stubbornly "aap jao maine kaha na" Manvi sighed in disappointment and left.

Manvi was walking down the stairs and thinks "kaise Anvi ko manau"

Anvi tries to wake up khushi.. "khushi ho late ho rahi ho tum school ke liye"

Khushi does not wake up instead she turned to other side moving into more cozy position. Anvi sighed, she shook her "utho na khushi"

Khushi got up rubbing her eyes says "Vi khushi ko school nahi jaana hai"

Anvi sighed at her naughtiness and said like a strict elder sister "ab aise drama mat karo chalo jaldi"

Khushi nodded. Anvi was talking bath not finding Anvi around, Manvi entered inside the room and made Khushi wear her school dress.

Khushi whispers and asked "mumma vi gussa hai aapse?"

Manvi nodes in yes while buttoning her shirt "haan beta.. bahut gussa hai.."

She combs her hairs and ties them properly. Khushi runs down to breakfast table...

Ruhana smiles seeing her and said "Ready ho gayi?"

Khushi nodes happily,. Ruhana served her breakfast.

Inside the room Manvi looked at the pictures hanging on the wall and smiled, she heard the door opening sound of the bathroom. she quickly went out of the room.

Manvi was on the breakfast table.. "khushi jaldi se finish karo.. mumma ko late ho raha hai.." she said.

Khushi drinks her milk, takes her bag. Anvi was heading towards the exit "mumma main jaa rhi hoon"

Ruhana spoke up "ruko anvi.. khushi aur tumhari maasi bhi aa rahi hai"

Anvi moved out with Khushi Manvi took her bag and followed them.

Ruhana sighed and said "yeh chue billi ka khel pata nhi kab khatam hoga inka"

They were inside the auto, Manvi asked "Anvi aapko yaad hai bachpan mein main aapko school aise hi auto mein chodne jaati thi"

Anvi said "mujhe nahi pata tha tab aap saalo ke liye chodke chali jaogi"

Khushi looked at Anvi and complained "Vi not fair aap khushi ki mumma se thik se baat nahi kar rahe ho"

Anvi looked down at her and said "Khushi fir aapki mumma ko kehdo mujhse baat na kare"

Manvi sighed in disappointment. They arrived at school, Manvi paid and they entered inside the school. Manvi kissed Khushi's forehead and she ran. She looked at Anvi but she turned and left.

Manvi moved to the office to work.

Later in afternoon, Trio get back home. Khushi said "mumma open the door"

Manvi searches for the key in her bag but does not find it. She sighed and bites her tongue out "main di se chabi lena toh bhool hi gayi"

Anvi looks at her and then takes out the key from the flower pot and opens the lock. They enter inside..

"Aap dono change karlo main lunch ready kar deti hoon" Manvi said.

Meanwhile, Khushi turns on the tv and sits on the couch. Anvi smiles seeing her as she use to do the same when she was of her age.

Manvi scolds her "khushi dress to jake change karlo.."

Khushi answers "mumma bas 10 minutes.."

Anvi smiled at this as it was the same answer she use to give to Ruhana. She moved upstairs to change. She came back and found Khushi still watching tv.

"khushi aao lunch karlo fir hum khelenge bahar garden mein" Anvi said.

Khushi turned off the tv and sat on dining table along with Anvi for lunch.

After the lunch, Khushi and Anvi got busy in playing at the garden outside the house. Manvi smiled seeing them, she went upstairs and cleaned up the room.

"yeh khushi bhi na kitna mess up karke rakha hai kamre ko" she arranged the things properly to its place. Manvi folded the clothes and went to keep them inside the cupboard, as soon as she kept them in her eyes fall on something she took out the album and sat on the bed she opened it and admired the photos. She looked at the Anvi's picture how she took it she looked back inside the cupboard and found other things.

It was a teddy bear which she gifted her on her 3rd birthday, a toy airplane on 5th birthday. Her eyes became moist as Anvi had kept them wrapped properly.

*flashback*
Manvi said "Anvi please baat to suno"

Anvi looks back at her and said in anger "nhi mujhe aapki baat nhi sunni hai aapne anvi ko promise kiya tha ki aap uske birthday par usko scotty doge"

Manvi smiled at her and says "are par abhi aap bahut chote ho aap scotty kaise chalaoge?"

Anvi glared at her and replies "anvi stupid nhi hai.. meri friend ke pass hai kids scotty remote wali to anvi bhi wo chala sakti hai"

Ruhana spoke up "koi zaroorat nhi hai Manvi iski har demand puri karni hai.. bilkul nhi milegi scotty.."

Anvi pouts and goes inside her room.. "scotty chahiye chahiye chahiye" she said stubbornly.

Manvi sighed, she goes into her room.. "naraz ho maasi se"

Anvi folds her arms and faces towards the wall.. Manvi answers her "Acha thik hai maasi mumma ko bina bataye apni anvi ke scotty layegi.. uske next birthday par"

Anvi smiles a bit but pretends to be angry.. "aap anvi se jhooth mat bolo.."

Manvi turns her around and says "are.. sachi.."

Anvi smiles broadly and speaks up "Agar aap nhi laaye to anvi aapse bahut gussa ho jayegi.."

Manvi hugs her and said "nahi maasi zaroor laayegi"
*flashback over*

Tear slipped down her eyes and she spoke to herself "sorry anvi, maine apna promise pura nhi kiya, kaise samjau tumhe niyati ka khel.. sab badal deta hai"

She heard Khushi and Anvi voice, she kept back everything inside the cupboard and went down stairs.

Ruhana had come back from office... "di aap aa gaye main chai lati hoon aapke liye" Manvi said.

Ruhana nods "nhi Mannu mujhe chai nhi chahiye.."

Anvi brings water for her, Ruhana takes it.. "mumma.. kal Sunday hai to hum teeno movie dekhne chale?" she asked.

Ruhana gets angry at her now "anvi ab bahut ho gaya kab tak aise ignore karogi Manvi ko.."

Anvi answers her back "mumma.. main.."

Manvi interrupts in "di please Anvi ko mat daanto.. uska gussa hona jayaz hai.. aap teeno kal movie ke liye chale jaana waise bhi mujhe school ka bahut zaroori kaam hai.." her eyes were watery. She moved into the room. Ruhana glared at Anvi.

"Anvi ek had tak hoti hai narazgi kya tumhe nahi lagta iss tarah maasi ko ignore karke tum unhe hurt kar rahi ho?" she asked.

Anvi spoke up "aur wo aise chodke gayi? Uska kya haan?"

Ruhana sighed and said "ab tumhe main kaise samjhau tum nhi samjhogi"

"main 6 saal ki bachchi nhi hun mumma sab samjhti hun" Anvi said and left to her room.

Ruhana's eyes became watery "tum nahi samajh sakti ho Anvi.. uska dard uski takleef kuch nhi samajh sakti ho yeh sab tumhe bata bhi nahi sakti hun main" she sighed and moved into Manvi's room.
