Aarav.. separated himself from hug..

Manvi asked "Aarav tumhe itne din yaad bhi nahi aayi humari.. apne bete ki?"

Aarav said with his eyes were teary "yaad.. bahut yaad aayi.. din bhar yaad karne ke ilawa tha kya mere pass.."

Manvi asked with her voice becoming shaky "Fir kyu nahi aaye wapas.. Manav ki uss baat pe itni narazgi?"

Aarav sighed and said helplessly "kya karta wapas aa kar haan aur wo baat itnisi hai nahi Manvi.. nahi"

Manvi replied "Par wo tumhara beta hai."

Aarav looked at her and said with painful smile "beta hai wo mera par main uska baap nahi hun"

Manvi sighed.. she knew he is hurt.. "Aarav...tum.."

Aarav in straight tone said "Manvi sach hi bol raha hun mai.. yeh baat tum bhi aachi tarah se jaanti ho"

Manvi said with a hope "Mein samjhaungi use.. Vineet samjhayega.. aab to Ruhana aur Vineet ki beech bhi sab thik ho raha hai.."

Aarav said "yeh aachi baat hai ki wo dono ek ho rahe hai par Manvi.. Manav nahi samjhega wo mera naam bhi nahi sunna chahta aaj bhi wahi nafrat hai uski aankhon mei mere liye..."

Manvi was just left with no reaction, as he was not like this before.. "Aarav tum.. aise har rahe ho bina koshish ke? mein jis Aarav ko janti thi woh toh aisa nahi tha"

Aarav looked at her and said with tough tone "jiss Aarav ki tum baat kar rahi ho wo.. 3 saal pehle tha."

Manvi said " Aab bhi hai.."

Aarav looked at her.. a silence prevailed between two then Aarav asked "Manvi tumne yakeen hai ki Manav samjhe ga"

Manvi held his hand and said "Haaa wo jaroor samjhega bahut samjhdar hai wo pata hai Avni jab bhi dukhi hoti hai kitne ache se samjhata hai.. tumhari tarah hai wo bilkul"

Aarav smiled a bit "janta hun meri tarah hai.. wo par wo nahi samjega iss baat ko tumne bhi toh nahi samjha tha 3 saal pehle mujhe" he said..

Manvi said with firm tone "To kya karti Aarav karti hu pyar tumse per maa bhi hu main.. Aur ek aurat ko jab bete aur pati ki beech chunna pade to"

Aarav completed her sentence with "pata hai Manvi wo aapne bete ko hi chunegi.. main bhi to yeahi keh raha hu bhool jao mujhe"

Manvi had tears in her eyes and said "itna aasan nahi hai Aarav bhoolana"

Aarav said "Aasan toh bahut kuch nahi hai Manvi"

Manvi tried to convince him "ek koshish toh kar hi sakte hai na hum.. shayad sab thik ho jae.."

Aarav asked "Aur na ho to?"

Manvi said with heavy heart "toh.. jaise jee rahe hai waise jee lenge ek dusre ke gum mei"

Aarav looked at Manvi for some moments.. "kar lo koshish... par mai janta hun koshish na kamiyab hi hogi.."

Manvi said "Chalo tum mere saath"

Aarav denies "nahi Manvi.. mai jaunga toh wo bilkul nahi sunega kuch"

Manvi glanced at him and said "Maine kaha na mein samjhaungi.. tum chalo bas"

Aarav hesitated as he knew Manav will get angry seeing him "par Manvi..."

Manvi requested "Pls... Aarav"

Aarav: tek hai.. chalo.. and they left... don't know what will happen..

At hotel, in lounge..

Ruhana opened her eyes.. her eyes moved the person who was sleeping.. Ruhana was resting her head on Vineet's and holding his hand.. she moved her head back.. smiled.. looking at his cute face she tried to move her hand and Vineet opened his eyes.. and..

Vineet: Avni..

Ruhana said "mai hun Avni nahi.."

Vineet removed his hand.. and got up.. "mujhe Avni ko dhundhne jaana hai.." he started to leave.. Ruhana held his hand..

"Vineet.. Avni mil jayegi na.." Ruhana asked with her eyes getting moist.

Vineet said "haan kyu nahi milegi.. zazur milegi.. wo bhi chali gayi toh mera kya hoga.."

Ruhana looked at him for a moment the care love concern for his daughter Ruhana too got up.

Ruhana said "mai bhi aati hun.."

Vineet replied "Ruhana nahi tum yahi ruko mai lekar aata hun ussey..."

Ruhana said in straight tone "meri bhi beti hai wo.. jab tak wo mil nahi jaati mai.. kaiseaaram kar sakti hun.."

Vineet replies calmly "hmm par.. plz.. ruko tum yahi.." Ruhana nodes..

Vineet: Ruhana I promise mai Avni ko kuch nahi hone dunga... trust me..

Ruhana having tears she nodes and Vineet started walking outside..

Vineet was shocked to see ArMan who were entering in...

Vineet: Aarav.. tum.. aur yeh.. looking at his forehead chot kaise aayi tumhe and looked at Manvi's hand Manvi tumhe bhi aur tum dono saath smiled kab mile

Manvi said "Vineet.. wo.. mai wo Saransh ke liye medicine lene gayi thi.. wo and she told the incident..

Vineet looked at Aarav and said "kya yaar.. uss din toh bada keh rahe they ki mai nahi aaunga aaj.."

Manvi looked at Vineet and said "Vineet mai layi hun issey yaha baap bete dono ziddi hai.. kisi ki nhi sunte"

Aarav asked Vineet "tumhe lagta hai Manav manega..?"

Vineet said "haan kyu nahi manega hum sab samjayenge usey toh usey samajhna hoga.... Tumhara samjhdar beta hai wo.."

Aarav smiled.. "wo toh tek hai par tum iss waqt kaha jaa rahe ho.."

Vineet uttered "Aarav.. wo.." pov: nahi pareshan hoga

Aarav asked again "bolo Vineet.."

Vineet lied "nahi bas aise hi tehelne jaa raha tha.."

Aarav noticed his facial expressions and scolds him "Vineet tumne jhooth bolna nahi aata hai toh mujhse jhooth maat bolo itni raat ko.. tehlne jaa rahe ho kya baat hai kya chupa rahe ho tum.?"

Vineet sighed and said "Aarav wo Avni gum ho gayi hai.."

Aarav was shocked..

Aarav: ghum ho gayi kab? Kaise? Kaha? In one breath..

Vineet said "wo hum sab group ke saath gaye they waha par humne bahut dhundha ussey nahi mili wo..."

Aarav looked at Manvi and scolds her 'Manvi.. tumne itni badi baat chupai.."

Manvi said in low tone "Aarav.. wo tum pareshan ho jate waise hi itni problems hai.."

Aarav sighed.. " Manvi.. Vineet chal dhoondte hai Avni ko.."

Vineet said "Aarav main jaa raha hoon na.. tum wo kaam karo jiske liye aaye ho..."

Aarav did not listened to him and said "nahi pehle Avni ko dhoondna jaroori hai aur tum akele kaise dhundh paoge itna bada seher hai delhi chal"

Vineet said "Aarav.. par Manav.."

Manvi replied "Aarav sahi keh raha hai Vineet tum jao hum Manav se baad mei baat karlenge aur waise bhi abhi wo soh raha hoga.."

Vineet then said "Manvi Ruhana waha baithi hai tum.. usey."

Manvi nodded " haan chinta maat karo mai dikhti hu usey.." Manvi went in..

Aarav calls Deepak: hello Deepak haan.. sorry tumhe iss waqt pareshan kar raha hun haan wo Avni ghum ho gayi hai haan thik hai... they moved towards.. Aarav's car...

Vineet stops him "ek minute Aarav"

Aarav asked in confusion "kya hua?"

Vineet came took the key from his hand unlocked the car sat on driving seat..

Aarav asked "Vineet.. tum gadi chalaoge?"

Vineet glared at him and said "insan jab driving seat pe baitha hai toh gadi chalne ke liye hi baithta hai..."

Aarav looked and replied "par mai.."

Vineet scolds him giving him anger gaze "manta hun ki ab pehle jaisa kuch nahi raha par tumhari fikar aaj bhi karta hun main haath mei chot hai sar pe bhi aur gadi chaloge baitho chup chap.."

Aarav smiled and had tears too.. after 3 years listened scolding from his bro..

Vineet noticed and asked "yeh.. tumhari aankh se pani..?"

Aarav wanted to talk to him... "Vineet.. mujhe tumse.."

Vineet denies and said in anger "Aarav.. mujhe nahi sunni hai tumhari baat tumne meri suni thi uss din nahi na joh kaam ke nikle hai wo karte hai.."

Aarav sat silently.. and said "pehle waha chalte hai jaha wo khoyi thi.."

Vineet replied "Aarav maine waha bahut dhundha.. waha.."

Aaravs said "tum chalo mai rasta batata hun" and they moved Aarav informed his khabri and few other people..

At hotel

Ruhana is with Manvi angel also comes to her.

Manvi said "Ruhana.. Avni zazur mil jayegi.. bharosa rakho"

Ruhana replied "bharosa karti hun umeed karti hun iss baar mera bharosa na tute.."

Manvi looked at her and said "nahi aisa nahi hoga.. Vineet aur Aarav dhund nikalege Avni ko.."

Ruhana had tears and said "haan warna main mar jaungi Avni ke bina.." Manvi gave her side hug... "nahi Ruhana.. Avni.. mil jayegi."

Here Aarav and Vineet search for Avni, but all went in vain. Vineet sits on bench.. holding Avni's photo.. tears rolling down..

"papa.. nahi.. maza aa raha hai..."

"papa.. yeh chahiye mujhe"

"I miss you papa.. and I love you"

"papa aap mummy aur mere saath aa kar raho na mai aapko taang nahi karungi"

Aarav sits.. beside him placed his hand on shoulder....

Aarav said "Vineet..." Vineet looked at him. Vineet hugged him. Aarav Avni kaha kho gayi wo mil jayegi na main nahi jee paunga Aarav patting his back.. "Vineet.. mil jayegi Avni hum milke dhundh lenge ussey kuch nahi hoga ussey kuch nahi.."

"tum mujhe chodke chale gaye.. aur ab Avni bhi chali gayi toh nahi plz Aarav dhundho meri Avni ko.." he requested him.

"Vineet.. kuch nahi hoga Avni ko bharosa rakho.." said Aarav.. aur tum rote hue.. bilkul aache nahi lagta.. aansu poche.. he wiped his tears.. humhari doll bahadur ladki hai.. jaise uski mummy hai papa hai waise hi.." Vineet nodes and they move from there to car..

Aarav said "Vineet main drive karta hoon"

Vineet said stubbornly "nahi main karunga"

Aarav eyed him.. "par.. tum"

Vineet replied "main thik hun.."

No time to argue further Aarav sat beside and Vineet drove. Aarav's phone rang..

Aarav said "Vineet gadi side mei lo.."

"hmm.." and Vineet.. takes it to side...

Aarav on call "haan acha.. kya? he was shocked.. thik hai.."

Vineet asked when he saw his tensed face "kya hua Aarav?"

Aarav looked at him tensed "Vineet.. wo.."

Vineet was more worried now "bolo? Avni ki kuch khabar hai..? Aarav nodes.. kya?"

Aarav tells him.. Vineet is shocked to plus anger...

Aarav said "waha pahuchne mei waqt lag jayega subah ka time hai par pahuchna hoga ek kaam karte hai shortcut lete hai.."
