Manvi recalled all the pain he had given her, she pressed the trigger and the bullet hits Aarav. He was shocked, he drops down on floor.

Manvi moved to him and shouted "nahi karti tumse pyar main samjhe tum!! Nafrat hai tumse tumhare naam se tumhari shakal se mujhe! You killed my Dad! You ruined me"

She shoots him one more time then drops down on the floor crying. Aarav takes a heavy breath and gets motionless. Manvi looked at him, she recalled the good time spend with him and then the painful days.

She looked at her hand and then threw away the gun, Anoop arrives with others. Shiv is arrested, Anoop looked at him "Shiv!! Tumhe sab kuch qubool karna hoga warna tumhara yahi encounter ho jayega"

Shiv surrendered and he was taken away.

Manav tried to stand up, Anoop helped him and said "beta tumhe goli lagi hai.."

"Main thik hun dadu.. Maa" he moved to Manvi.

Manvi shouted "aaj mujhe bhi khooni bana diya isne Manav"

Manav was feeling weak , he drops down on the floor unconscious. Manvi looked at him "Manav nahi.. Tum mujhe chodke nhi jaa sakte ho"

She pats his head and shouted "Manav!!"

Anoop said "Manvi isey hospital leke jaana hoga"

Manvi nodded and they took him to hospital.

He was operated, Manvi was in the hospital temple she prayed for him. After sometime, the OT door opens. Manvi rushes and asked "doctor kaisa hai Manav?"

"He is out of danger now" the doctor replied.

Manvi heaved a sigh of relief. Manav was shifted to normal room, after 3 hours he opened his eyes and Manvi was sitting beside him. She had tears in her eyes, she holds his hand and kissed his palm.

He smiled lightly and said "maa main kahin nahi jaane wala tumhe chodke"

Manvi smiled teary eyes. "Maine bhi katal kar diya Manav.. Khooni ban gayi main" she said.

Manav denies "nahi maa aapne kuch nhi kiya hai! Aapne insaf dilaya hai apne aap ko. " he tried explaining her.

Anoop entered inside and said "sahi kah raha hai Manav Manvi"

Manvi looked at him, Anoop said "tumhe koi saza nahi hogi! Aarav encounter mein maara gaya yahi sabko bataya jaayega Manav ne saboot toh pehle hi de diye hai Manav beta I am so proud of you"

Manav smiled but gets upset. Manvi asked "kya hua Manav?"

"Maa aapke dard ki wajah wo Aarav Malhotra tha aur uska chehra mere paas hai zindagi bhar wo dard aapka mere roop mein hara rahega" he said with moist eyes.

Manvi held his hand and said "Manav aisa nahi hai, tum Manav
ho jisse main pyar karti hun aur jo mujhse pyar karta hai.. Kabhi ye mat kehna aur na sochna ki tumhare iss chahre ki wajah se mere purane zakhm hare rahenge samjhe" she said patting his cheek.

Manav nodded, he slightly lifted his head and hugged Manvi. Manvi kissed his forehead and said "Abhi tum aaram karo"

After 2 days, Manav was discharged. Manav brought her to the house. Manvi looked at the house, she looked at the board "Malhotra Mansion". Manav moved and removed the board, he threw it away and it broke into pieces. He took out the new board from the car and puts it was "Oberoi Mansion" A smile came on Manvi's face.

He held her hand and walked into the house, Manvi looked and was surprised seeing the house. A wall was decorated with Vineet's and her pictures along with Manav's and her. Manav said "wo maine anoop dadu ko kaha tha yeh sab karne ko"

Manvi smiled and said "bahut acha kiya"

"Ab yeh ghar hamara hai Maa.." Manav said.

Manvi smiled and hugged him. Anoop knocked, they seperated.

Anoop entered inside and smiled "Manvi maine Manav ka transfer yahan kar diya hai aur kal se wo as ASP join karega"

Manvi was surprised and happy too. Manav was shocked "kya?"

"Haan ASP ab yaha ka commissioner hai aur tumhara promotion hua hai as tumne itna bada kaam kiya hai" Anoop said proudly.

Manvi smiled and kissed his forehead "Manav issi ek chahre ne bura kiya aur tum bhala karoge.."

Manav nodded "haan maa.. I am sorry"

The next morning, Manav got ready and he came out. Manvi had already prepared the breakfast. He smiled and said "maa aap bhi ready ho jao"

"Kyun main kaha jaa rahi hun?" she asked.

"Are aap ready toh ho. " he said.

Manvi nodded and went to get ready. As soon as she came they left. Manav drove towards office. They reached there in 15 minutes, they got down. Manvi saw the new board "Oberoi Industries" a smile came on her face.

Manav said "Aaj se office aap sambhalogi"

Manvi was shocked "main? Kaise??" she asked.

"Kyun? Aap hi kehti thi na ki aap apne Dad ki tarah ho toh aap unki tarah office sambhal sakti ho!" Manav said.

Manvi smiled with teary eyes, Manav wiped her eyes "nahi maa ab ye aansu nahi ab bas khushi hi khushi hogi main aur aap hmm.."

Manvi nodded and hugged Manav. She patted his cheeks...

"Sach mein bahut bada ho gaya hai mera beta. I'm proud of you Manav. " she looked at him.

He smiled, she said.. "No. Not manav. " she paused.

Manav looked at her confusingly, Manvi laughed..

"ASP Manav Oberai ho na tum! " she said.

"Na maa! Naam ab bhi adhura hai. " he said.

Manvi looked at him, he took out his badge and kept on her hand. She read it...

"ASP Manav M. Oberai. "

Manvi caressed the badge. He held her from her shoulder..

"Aapki wajah se toh main hoon. So it should be Manav Manvi Oberai, mera pura naam, kyunki you're my everything. " he said.

Manvi had happy tears in her eyes. She patted his cheeks and thanked him, while he just embraced his mother in a hug, assuring happiness for the rest of her life.
