She asked "Aur kya hua tha Manvi? haan?"

Manvi kept her head on her shoulder and said "Di nahi tum nahi chodna mujhe akele"

Angel pats her head "nahi Manvi kabhi nahi chodungi"

Manvi requested her "toh chalo.. yaha se sab gande hai"

Angel nods "Haan haan hum aaj hi.."

Acp sir came in and said "Angel.. ab tum ghar jaa sakti ho.."

"Thank you sir" Angel was about to get up when Acp sir started "Angel dekho doctors ka kehna hai Manvi ki halat mei jitni sudhar aaya tha ab uski halat usse kayi zyada bigad chuki hai.. tum bhi kaafi kamzor"

He stopped with fixed glare of Angel and she said "to kya sir ise asylum bejh du? Pagal nahi hai ye behen hai meri aur sir ab hum dono mese koi aapka officer nahi hai isliye Manvi pe aur khud pe ab mera haq hai aapka nahi"

Acp sir said in a teary tone "Angel mein tum dono ka dushman nahi hu"

Manvi was looking at both...

Angel's patience is really lost now. She tried to got up with a jerk.. but she got misbalanced Manvi hold her in time with "Di nahi"

Angel stood properly looked at Acp sir with "dekh liya sir aapne"

Acp: Angel par..

Angel does not want to listen "Kya par sir?"

Acp sighed "tek hai jaisa tumhari marzi mai nahi rukunga tumhe.. per ye to jaan sakta hu na ki tum kaha jana chahti ho?"

Angel replied "delhi sir.."

Angel said "par yeaha bhi to reh sakti ho na tum"

Before Angel can answer Manvi protested "nahi hum yaha nahi rehenge"

Acp: par Manvi..

Manvi said "Kaha na yaha nahi rehenge wo log fir ajayenge hum door bahut door chale jayenge.. aap bhaga nahi sake na unn logo ko.. haan wo aagaye to hum nahi rehenge"

Acp: tek hai Manvi.. tum dono jaa sakte ho mai nahi rukunga tumhe..

Angel smiles and said "sir aapse bahut umeed thi sir sorry chalte hai"

Acp said "Angel.. agar kabhi zazurat padhe toh yaad karna bhali hi officers nahi rahe par beti mana hai tum dono ko"

Angel asked "Beti? sir koi beti ko pagal khane bejh deta hai sir?"

Acp said "nahi bejha na maine usey"

Angel confronts him "Din raat sedative se sula rakhta hai.. dekha aapne iski halat kitni dari hui hai.. teen mahine mei kitni weak ho gayi Sir kya kiya tha isne, mere pass aane ki zid hi to ki thi.. fir sir? Aise treat kerenge aap apni beti ko?" she asked.

Acp said "samjhaya maine Manvi ko.. bahut samjhaya pyar se nahi maani wo"

Angel: Sir aapko pata hey na iski haalat... dimaagi halat ka pata hey na aapko? kaha tha aapne jab delhi se call kiya tha ki Angel tum aajao hum sambhal lenge? maine kaaha tha na aapko ki sir iss bar to bach gayi par mujhe agar kuch ho jaye to Manvi yaha bilkul akeli Aapne kaha tha na aap sambhal lenge"

Acp said "haan kaha tha maine sambhal lunga.. par nahi main fail ho gaya.. shayad Manvi ko tumhari itni buri adaat ho gayi hai ki.. koi aur dikhta hi nahi hai"

Angel asked "Sir teen mahine nahi hua.. mein sach mei kabhi nahi uthti to?"

Acp looked at her "Angel.." he uttered.

Angel questioned him "Tab kya hota sir?"

Acp had no answer for this he was quiet. "main marr jaati toh?" Manvi hold her hand tightly

Angel sighed "Sir chalti hoon"

Acp sir looked at his both daughters and they move away. 

All the while Sachin was silent, he looks towards Acp then moved out following them.

Sachin said "Angel ruko main tumhe ghar chod deta hoon chalo"

Angel stopped, she looked at him and shouted "ghar nahi Sachin ab hum delhi jayenge jitne Acp sir zimedar hai utna tum bhi ho"

The nurse came and said "mam please don't shout hospital hai"

Sachin said "Angel abhi toh flight hogi nahi aur Manvi ne subah se kuch khaya bhi nahi tum chalo ghar fresh hoke airport chale jaana"

Angel said "tumhe takleef karne ki zazurat nahi hai.. hum chale jayenge"

"Angel ghar chalke baat karte hai please" Sachin requested.

"okay Fine chalo" they moved out. Sachin opened the back door signaling them to sit and moved to the driving sit. The car started. Angel decided to speak with Sachin about this past 3 months

"Sachin teen mahine nahi sambhali gayi meri behen tumse haan? Zindagi bhar saath kaise nibhaoge mera tum?" she said in anger.

Sachin said "Angel tum nhi jaanti ho teen mahine mein kya kya hua hai"

"kya hua aisa teen mahino mein haan?" she asked.

"bahut kuch hua hai Angel doctors ne faisla kar liya tha ki Manvi ka koi bhi ilaaj aise nhi ho sakta unloge ne strictly usey asylum bejhne ko kah diya" Sachin said.

"phir?" she asked.

Sachin said "tumne toh sir pe gussa ker liya par Angel acp sir ne nahi mani ye baat... Angel tum andaza nahi laga sakti Manvi ki haalat ka"

Angel looked at Manvi.. wo dikh rahi hai.. Manvi relax placed her head on Angel's shoulder and closed her eyes. Sachin looked at the scene through rare view mirror

"nahi Angel tum nahi dekh sakti ye joh tum shant si Manvi dekh rahi ho yeh aise nahi thi pal pal sambhala aur muskil ho raha tha bas ek zid Di ke paas jaana hai" He paused with a sigh

Angel said in anger "toh aane detey.. kuch galat toh nahi keh rahi thi wo"

Sachin explained "Doctor allow nahi kerte they sir.. jab pehli bar wo tumse mili to itna violent tarika se react kiya.. doctors ko darr tha wo tumhe nuksan.."

Angel cuts him and said "Manvi ke haatho mujhe nuksaan kabhi nahi Sachin .."

Sachin said "Angel har cheez toh hamare haatho mein nahi hota na aur doctors galat bhi nhi they Manvi ne jaise react kiya tumhe jerks aane lage they"

Angel looked at Manvi and back to Sachin and asked "Sachin par usey din raat sedatives mei rakhne ki kya zazurat thi? aisa kya kar diya tha.. Manvi ne?"

Sachin said "Angel wo control me nahi thi kisike.. bahut zid karti thi zid nahi maani jaye to violent ho jati thi khud ko hi zakhmi tum zara uske haath pe dekho"

Angel saw Manvi's hand which really had marks.

"Dekha Angel tumne? Koi rasta nahi tha humare pass sir aur main Manvi ko asylum ke doctor ke pass le gaye they par asylum ka haal dekh ke na wo apni beti ko waha chod paye aur na main tumhari behen ko"

Angel sighed she turns to Manvi and calls her softly.. "Manvi"

Manvi opens her eyes.. hmm.. Angel points to the wounds and scratch marks

She asked "ye sab kyu kiya tumne?"

Manvi looks down.. Angel lifts up her face "Manvi kya hai ye sab haan?"

Manvi said "mujhe gussa aaya.. nahi jaane de raha tha koi mujhe aapke pass"

Angel scolds her "To tum ye sab karogi? pagal ho gayi thi?"

Manvi nods no, Angel asked "Fir pagalo wali harkat kyu ker rahi thi?"

Sachin said "Angel rehenedo"

Angel looked at him "nahi Sachin ... kuch mat bolo tum"

Sachin exclaimed "par Angel aise wo aur disturb ho jayegi"

Angel said "nahi Sachin bahut ziddi ho gayi hai yeh ladki"

Manvi looked at Angel and asked "par mujhe koi jane kyu nahi de raha tha? Ye Sachin pata hai main roj kehti thi isse par ye sunta hi nahi tha aur aur kehta tha mein jaungi to tumhe taqleef hogi bahut gussa aaya maine ise daanta nahi suna to khud pe gussa aagaya.. sorry... tum bhi uss doctor ki tarah pagal bologi mujhe Di?"

Angel realized what she said which hurted her. She said "Manvi.. nahi mai tumhe pagal nahi keh rahi hun"

Sachin smiled seeing at Angel...

Manvi shook her head.. abhi to kaha

Angel sighed and said "wo.. wo.. sorry"

Manvi said cutely "Kaan pakdo"

Angel holds her ears and looks at Manvi.. "ab maaf kardo"

Sachin started laughing loud..

Manvi hugs Angel with "aage se nahi kehna"

Angel said "nahi kahungi" she then said to Sachin "Sachin .. tumhe hassi kyu aa rahi hai itni"

Sachin looked at her and said "tumne kaan jo pakde to bas"

Angel smiled, Manvi tugged at Angel's sleeve she asked "Manvi kya?"

Manvi replied "bhukh lagi hai"

Angel said "Sachin koi restaurant hai toh waha lelo gadi ghar jake banane ka time nahi hai zyada wait karwana acha nhi hai"

Sachin smiled and said "ghar pe khana bana hua hai"

Angel smiled "tumne banaya?" she asked.

"haan main hi bana raha hoon teen mahine se lekin koi khata hi nahi" he said sadly.

"ab kha lenge toh chalo jaldi chalao gadi bhook toh mujhe bhi lagi hai bahut" Angel said.

Sachin speeds up the car with "Angel pata teen mahine baad suna hai ye baat Manvi ke muh se warna toh main aur Acp sir hi kehte hai isko"

Angel nods "aacha... kyu Manvi?"

Manvi asked "Kisse kehti main?"

Angel replied "Sachin se kehti"

Manvi made face "kyun meri behen to tum ho na? Fir?"

Angel agrees "haan Manvi mai hun tumhari behen"

Manvi questioned "Fir usse kyu kehti?"

Angel replied "wo dost hai na aur dost se kuch bhi keh sakte hai"

Manvi pouted "Nahi mujhe sirf aapse hi kehna hai"

Angel sighed..

Sachin reached their home and said "aa gaye ghar"

They moved in the house

Sachin said "tum dono baitho main khana garam karke laata hun"

Angel sat on sofa, Manvi sat beside her soon Sachin returned with food and served them...

Angel started taking food but Manvi sat folding her hands

Angel asked "kya hua Manvi aise kyu baithi ho?"

Manvi asked "To kya karu?"

Angel said "khana khao"

Manvi said childishly "Tum khilao"

Angel: aacha.. tek hai..

She fed Manvi after feeding session Sachin was about to move

Angel called "Sachin"

Sachin looked at her "haan Angel"

Angel looks at him and apologized "I am sorry"

Sachin held her hand and said "I am sorry mujhe mat kaho tum agar tumhe sorry kehna hi hai toh ACP sir ko kaho"

Angel nods "kal main milungi unse"

Sachin smiled and requested her "toh mat jao na yahan se"

She looked at Manvi who had lay down on sofa and slept. She said "pata nhi Manvi manegi nahi"

Sachin said "tum manaogi toh wo zaroor maan jayegi"

"Pata nahi Sachin wo bahut ziddi hai" Angel said.

Sachin looked at Manvi who was sleeping peacefully after 3 months and said "ziddi toh hai par tumhari baat sunti hai wo tum usey samjhaogi toh wo samajh jayegi"

Angel nods "Koshish karungi par joh nahi kar sakti usey bahut darri hui hai wo"

Sachin said "haan Angel aur tumhe uska darr door karna hai"

Angel shook her head in yes "haan sachin isliye shayad humhe bahar jaana pade par main lautungi"

Sachin smiled and hugged her.
