*memories*

One day Aarav returned home, he had a bandaid on his head. I was shocked by seeing it.

I questioned him "how did this happen??"

"meet with a small accident" he replied.

I made him sit on the couch. I eyed him with teary eyes, he held my hand and assured me "it's a minor scar"

"How can you be so careless?" I nearly scolded him.

"I was not careless.. that guy.." he paused for a moment. I gave him a look and he continued "my assistant, he was about to hit by a car so I saved him and got this injury"

I smiled, he is always concerned about others. "I will get you turmeric milk you will feel better" I stood up to leave but he held my wrist.

He made him sit and kept his head on my lap. I smeared his head, I asked: "What happened?"

"Nothing.." he looked up at me and spoke "I love you"

"I also love you" I replied placing a kiss on his forehead.

"What is this?? we are married kiss on my lips," he said annoyed.

He is so naughty, I kissed his lips. He smiled, and then said "Manvi I need to go to Delhi for a photoshoot"

"what?? no I am not letting you go you are hurt on your head," I said strictly.

"I also don't want to go, it's your pregnancy.. but it is really important," he said tensely.

I sighed, he held my hand and spoke "Manvi I love you the most and after this, I just want to be with you and my child"

A smile appeared on my face, I said: "when will you return?"

"Within 2 days" he replied.

"permission granted but when you return you have to get me lots of love and your time," I said innocently

"I promise no more photoshoots till your pregnancy after this," he said with a smile.

Present Time

It was midnight, I woke up from my sleep. I stood up keeping my hand on my belly carefully. I was almost in 8th month of pregnancy. I took an oath before my child come to this world, I will find my husband.

I stepped out of the room and unlocked the main door. I was about to leave when someone kept a hand on my shoulder.

I turned and saw Ahana standing there, it seemed she was alert about my escape from the house. She questioned, "where are you going?"

"to find Aarav" I gave her a firm reply.

"He is dead, Manvi he won't ever return to you," Ahana said, I gave her a look.

"no.. everyone is lying he is not dead.. my six senses says so" I replied.

"no Manvi, you are pregnant and that is why you are having such thoughts" Ahana concluded.

I denied "he is alive"

"didn't you see his body in the hospital? he is no more accept it" she said with teary eyes.

"I know you and that Mayank is trying to fool me.. I will reach him myself" I said in a confident tone.

I turned to leave but she blocked my way. "I won't let you go.. look at your state please for your child" she requested.

I denied, I pushed her aside and walked out of the house.

I heard her calling someone "She left my house.."

I took an auto and asked him to take me to Rishi's house. I asked him to drive fast, as I heard a police jeep following my auto.

Why are they trying to stop me? I just can't understand. Is my husband a criminal? The jeep blocked my way and the lady constable pulled me out.

I was shocked to see Mayank urf Sanjay in police uniform. Before I could ask something, he said "I will answer your questions but just come with me"

I denied as I don't trust him. Ahana also came, I was shocked to see her in police uniform too. She was a doctor? Isn't she? I went with them to get my answers.

They took me a secret place, I was just left confused. They made me sit on the chair and there was a table in front of me.

They placed a few pictures in front of me, I was stunned to see Aarav's pictures.

"Aarav.." I uttered.

"no.. Amjad Khan a terrorist" Mayank spoke to which I was left stunned. The floor underneath me shaken.

"What nonsense is this?" I nearly shouted.

"This is the truth Manvi, your husband was a terrorist" Ahana exclaimed.

"What? but you are his best friend" I said.

"Yes, I am Aarav's best friend but not your husband best friend" she spoke leaving me confused.

"Manvi we are secret RAW agents, that is why we have a different identity," Ahana said showing her RAW agent card.

I looked at it, Mayank said "Aarav was killed before your marriage and an imposter took his place he has been doing illegal work to harm our country in that secret room which was exploded at your house"

Tears slipped down my eyes listening to this, Ahana spoke "Manvi, Aarav was kidnapped when he was coming to marriage and imposter took his place.. when you said Aarav had gone to Delhi for photograph project and not yet returned I sent my secret team to find him"

Ahana and Mayank were given the mission to find Amjad Khan 1 year back. There was information he is going to take place of one of the civilian and do his work to harm the city.

Many proofs were collected. They were trying to find who the particular person is? Then Ahana went suspicious when her friend Aarav disappeared one day.

She contracted his photography agency, Aarav was sending his junior instead to all the projects.

Ahana then contacted her secret agents and they told Aarav is seen in Kashmir she was left shocked with this.

Ahana meet Mayank and informed "Mayank I am sure that terrorist Amjad Khan had taken Aarav's place"

"How can you be sure?" He asked.

"I had sent few people behind Aarav and he is seen meeting some unwanted people near the border of Kashmir" Ahana exclaimed and threw few pictures in front of him.

In the picture, Aarav was with some terrorist people along with riffles and planning something.

"what? Since 3 months he is in Kashmir and here his wife is telling us to find her innocent husband" Mayank said annoyed.

"it's not her fault, she is finding Aarav, not Amjad Khan," Ahana said in a firm tone. She had a concern for her friend but did not let it appear on her face. Afterall her duty doesn't let her cry.

Another police officer enters in and informs "mam, we found Aarav's dead body near the beech"

Ahana was left shocked, she hit her hand on the wall "Damm.. that Amjad stayed with Manvi, did his job and then killed Aarav so that we can't find any clue" she just could not hold her tears anymore.

Mayank kept his hand on her shoulder "Ahana... we are on a mission to stop another 26/11 attack we need to find Amjad Khan as soon as possible but before that Manvi must be told Aarav is dead she has to stay away from all this for sake of her child" he said in concern.

Ahana nodded and that is why they plotted that Aarav is in Pune.

Manvi was left stunned hearing this, the man she was living with was a terrorist Amjad Khan and this child also belong to him. Tears escaped down her eyes, unknowingly she was involved with a criminal.

Ahana kneeled in front of me and said "I knew, that terrorist was going to do a plastic surgery and take a civilian place but I did not know it will be our Aarav"

"This truth I was hiding since many days, I was bounded with duty and it was for your benefit" she further exclaimed.

Mayank requested "please stop finding Aarav.. he is Amjad Khan your Aarav is dead"

I kept my hand on my belly, this child now seemed to be unwanted for me. It's not my Aarav's child, I am carrying a terrorist child.

"Aarav is a good person and we can't let media know an imposter took his place.. only his name will ruin and your life will become hell please understand Manvi," Ahana said.

I glanced at her still in a state of shock then left the place crying.

What Manvi will do now knowing the truth??

Stay tuned...
