It has been 5 hours since Manvi tried to break the code.

"AA 18122"

Manvi thinks hard 18 alphabet R 1 alphabet A 22 alphabet V

She was surprised "Aarav"

She thinks "Dad kehna kya chahte hai Aarav"

She calls Anoop and informs him "Uncle AA 18122 ka matlab Aarav hai"

Anoop says "Manvi kahi Aarav ne toh nhi?"

Manvi was shocked "nhi uncle wo aisa nahi kar sakta hai wo mere Dad ko kyun maarega?"

Anoop replied "toh socho Manvi Vineet kyun Aarav ka naam aise code mein likega?"

Manvi thinks, Anoop further says "Acha thik hai tum zyada pareshan mat ho main dekhta hoon" and ended the call.

Manvi was left suspicious, she thinks hard "Aarav kyun likha Dad ne? Mujhe kuch samajh nahi aa raha hai"

She looked at the time it showed 4 am, she heard the door unlocking sound. She quickly hides the paper.

Aarav entered inside the house and was surprised seeing Manvi awake at this time. He asked "tum soyi nahi?"

Manvi denies "nahi aaj neend hi nhi aa rahi"

Aarav looked at her and smiled, Manvi looked and asked "yeh perfume ki khusboo"

"Are acha hai na.. Tumhare liye leke aaya" he showed her the bag.

Manvi took it and smiled "acha chalo soh jaate hai"

Aarav nodded and they moved to the room. Aarav thinks "acha hua isko mehsoos nhi hua maine sharab pee hai thanks to the perfume"

Here Manvi thought "kya sach mein Aarav ne kuch kiya hai? Kya karoon main kuch samajh nhi aa raha hai mujhe"

With this thoughts in her mind she slept, the next morning Manvi opened her eyes. She looks beside her and Aarav was not on the bed. She sat up straight, Aarav entered inside with cup of coffee in his hand "good morning biwi"

Manvi smiled lightly "Good morning" she took the cup.

Aarav half lay on bed and starts playing on the phone. Manvi asked him "Aaj office nhi jaana tumhe?"

Aarav denies "aaj Sunday hai" with a smile on his face he replied.

Manvi looked at him and asked "acha aur tumhari client meetings?"

"cancelled! sirf tumhare saath rehne ke liye" he replied rubbing his lips on her neck.

Manvi moved away, she got up and stood in front of the window. Aarav thinks "jab romance karne jao natak karti hai.."

He got down and moved to her, he placed his hand around her and asked "kya hua? Subah subah kyun pareshan ho?"

"Kuch nhi Aarav bas Dad ki bahut yaad aa rahi hai" her eyes became moist.

Aarav turned her around and said "hey aise rote nahi hai" wiping off her tears "I am here na"

Manvi nodded, "Acha chalo aaj bahar chalte hai kahi" Aarav said.

Manvi agreed "okay main ready hoke aati hoon" she said with a smile on her face and moved to washroom.

After sometime they moved out. They came to the beach. Manvi was lost in past...

Vineet Aarav and Manvi were travelling into the car. When Manvi shouted "Aarav stop the car"

Aarav stops, Vineet asked "kya hua?"

Manvi looked at him and smiled "Chalo pani puri khate hai"

Vineet spoke up "Manvi fir kabhi abhi late ho raha hai na"

Manvi made face "kya Dad aap meri kabhi nhi sunte" she complained.

Aarav smiled at this, something came in his mind and he signalled Vineet, he then said to Manvi "tum uthro"

Manvi gets down and Aarav starts the car. Manvi was shocked "areyyyy"

Vineet pulled down the window and said "hum jaate hai"

Manvi stamps her foot in anger "thik hai fine jao aap dono mujhe nhi jaana aapke saath" she turned and starts walking towards the beach.

Vineet and Aarav came out of the car. Vineet followed her "arey Manvi ruko na"

"Nahi aap jao meri baat nhi mante aap" she said angrily.

"Are Manvi suno toh hum toh bas mazak kar rahe they" Aarav said from behind.

"Haan haan ab toh tum bhi Dad ki side aa gaye ho! Itni jaldi party badal li apni huh" she moved to the water.

Vineet and Aarav entered in, they sprinkled water on her face. Manvi sighed and she splashed back.

"Main aap dono se gussa hoon" Manvi said in anger tone.

"Aarav ye toh naraz hai chalo hum hi khate hai pani puri" Vineet said while looking at Aarav.

"Haan chaliye" they turned and heads towards the stall.

Vineet said to Aarav without looking at him "peeche mudna mat khud aayegi"

Manvi eyed them "huh.. Nhi khana mujhe jao"

They were at the stall, Vineet said "lagao zara teekha"

Aarav takes the bowl and starts eating "Waah! Kitna spicy hai"

Manvi came from behind and shouted "Aap dono ko toh khana nhi tha na! Akele akele ab kha rahe ho"

Vineet turned to her and asked "maine kaha tha na aa jao lekin tumhe toh naraz rehna tha"

Manvi makes face, Aarav said "zara aur teekha lagana.."

Manvi sat on the bench folding her arms, after sometime Vineet and Aarav sat beside her on each side. They forward her.. "Lo khao"

Manvi denies "no.." adamantly

Vineet opened her mouth and stuffed it in. Aarav was shocked.. "Aapne ye.."

"Aise hi khilana padta hai isko bahut nakre karti hai ye" Vineet replied.

Manvi looked at him and smiled.. "Maza aata hai na aapko pareshan karne mein"

"Acha? Jab main nhi rahunga tab?" Vineet asked her.

Manvi gets angry and shouted "kaha jaa rahe ho aap??" she hugs him from side and said "aap toh hamesha mere saath rahenge.." Vineet smeared her head.

Manvi came out of her trance of thoughts with fresh tears falling down. She said "mujhe nhi pata tha Dad aap itni jaldi mujhe chodke chale jaoge wo akhri baar main ruthi thi aapse aur aapne mujhe manaya tha"

She kept her head on Aarav's shoulder and cries. Aarav smeared her head and made faces thinking "apne baap ki tarah emotional fool hai.. Marr gaya iska baap lekin peecha ab bhi nhi choda"

He then acts to be normal "manvi rona band karo.. Tum royogi toh yahan tsunami aa jayega"

Manvi looked up at him and smiled a bit. "Jab tak main Dad ke katil ko dhoond nhi leti Aarav mujhe chenn nhi padega.."

"Mil jayega main hoon na saath tumhare" he said holding her hand.

After sometime, they moved back home. Aarav freshened up and Manvi was thinking about the code.

"Nahi main kuch galat soch rahi hoon Aarav aisa nhi kar sakta hai!" she thought to herself.

Aarav came out and found her lost, he asked "kya yaar Manvi? Kaha khoyi hui ho?"

Manvi denies "nahi kuch nhi"

"Tum bhi na ajeeb piece ho jab main hota nhi toh complaint karti ho aur ab hoon toh bilkul bhi khayal nhi hai tumhe mera" He said angrily.

Manvi moved to him and smiled "sorry Aarav acha bolo kya chahiye tumhe?"

"Em.. ek kiss" he said winking at her.

Manvi smiled, she pecked a quick kiss on his lips and moved into the room. Aarav came behind her and held her from waist. He turned her around, Manvi looked at him. He approached his face near to her and was about to kiss her but the rang of the phone disturbed.

Manvi frees herself and moves out. Aarav sighed "ye phone ki bhi timing galat hai"

He picked up the call "kya hai be??? Tereko abhi phone karna tha kya aafat aa gayi hai ab?" he asked irritatedly.

"Kya?? Thik hai karta hoon transfer" saying which he ended the call. He took out his laptop and transferred some amount.

Manvi came back in and saw him on laptop, she thought and smiled "Yes! Dad ke laptop ka password bhi toh MO 31292 hai"

"Acha Manvi suno mujhe abhi jaana hoga urgent meeting aa gayi hai" Aarav said while closing the laptop.

Manvi nodded "thik hai Aarav kab tak aaoge?" she asked him.

"Der ho jayegi you just don't worry" Aarav said with a smile and moved out. Aarav heads to his hideout to do his work.

Manvi called Anoop and in next 30 minutes he was home, Anoop asked "kya hua beta?"

"Uncle wo Aarav nhi tha MO 31292 ye Dad ke laptop ka password hai aur mujhe yaad aaya unke confidential folders aise code words mein hote they jo koi folder ho sakta hai" Manvi said with a hope.

Anoop smiled "very good beta! Toh jaldi se Vineet ka laptop laao"

Manvi agreed, she moved to the study room and gets his laptop. She sits on the couch and Anoop was beside her. She turned it on and inputs the password, which it accepted. A smile came on her face.

"Ab AA 18122 ki file dekho" Anoop said.

Manvi looked for the folder and she found it. She quickly opened it but it demanded another password.

Manvi sighed "Ek aur password..."

"Beta shayad iss AA 18122 mein hi koi password chipa ho" Anoop shared..

Manvi thought for sometime and typed "Aarav" and the file opened to her surprise. She saw something which shocked her at the core. Anoop was also shocked seeing it. 

"aisa kaise ho sakta hai?" she could only utter.  She reversed and it showed the same thing. She was left dumbstruck. 
To be continued..

What did Manvi and Anoop saw?
