Manav smiled seeing Aarav with drop of tear from his eyes Aarav too smiled but smile disappeared from Manav's face and hatred expression appeared.

Manav shouted "aap.. aap yaha kyu aaye? Chale jao yaha se chale jayie I hate you I just hate you.." he cried and left from there.

He stopped in front of Vineet looked at him and went back Aarav was dumbstruck and hurt.

he start to leave but someone hold his hand. Aarav turned at Avni was standing there with tears in her eyes... "bade papa.." she said with teary tone.

Aarav looked at her and smiled and hugged her.

Aarav asked "kaisi hai meri doll?"

Avni answered him "mai.. aachi hun aap kaise ho?"

Aarav said "mai bhi acha hun"

Avni separates herself from hug.. and complains "mai aapse naraz hun aap mujhe chod kar kyu gaye aap toh Manav bhaiya se baki sabse naraz they mujhse nahi toh kyun gaye?"

Aarav cuffed her face.. "nahi mai naraz nahi hu aapse bilkul nahi hu aapne kaise soch liya ki mai aapse naraz hun hota toh aapke birthday par haar saal gift nahi bejta.."

Avni was shocked.. "wo gift.. aap bhejte they mujhe pata tha aap hi they kyuki doll toh aap hi mujhe bulate ho na.." with tears in her eyes. Aarav nods and hugged her once more.

Vineet smiled seeing this..

Aarav said "aacha aap ab rona nahi bade papa ko jaana hai bahut kaam hai.."

Avni denies "bade papa aap please mat jao na.."

Aarav tries to make her understand "nahi bade papa ko jaana hoga bade papa aapse promise karte hai wo aapse phone pe baat karenge"

Avni said stubbornly "nahi aap Mumbai chalo wapas.."

Aarav sighed and said "mai nahi aa sakta beta please aapko pata hai bade papa ko aapke yeh aansu pasand nahi hai toh rona nahi okay.. good girl.." he wiped of her tears and Avni wiped of his. Aarav smiled and ruffled her hairs.

Aarav then looked at Vineet and said "aacha.. main chalta hun..."

Vineet said "aarav"

Aarav looked at him and said "please Vineet itna sab hone ke baad bhi tum chahte ho ki mai wapas aau nahi..."

Vineet tried to say "Aarav" but Aarav leaves. Avni is crying, other comes out to see what had happened because three of them not returned. Avni ran and hugged her mother crying..

Avn said "mumma.. wo wo chale gaye.."

Ruhana asked "kaun chale gaye?"
