Maanvi felt as if the puzzle pieces were finally fitting back together. Telling Jeevika about her cancer made her feel as if all the burdens on her shoulders had been lifted. Her heart no longer sank every time she remembered that she was hiding the truth from her Di. Because she wasn't. The way Jeevika had responded to the truth about Maanvi's sickness felt nothing but amazing. Maanvi was so proud. She had full faith in her elder sister.
The entire Vadhera family was now aware about Maanvi's sickness. After finding out the truth, even stern Swamini Bua had begun treating Maanvi kindly. The only person who had half the information was Virat. Virat was not yet aware that Jeevika, Viren and the Vadhera's knew about Maanvi's cancer. This morning he had taken Seema out on a drive to see some popular tourist attractions in Chandigar and he had just arrived home in time for lunch.
Jeevika came to collect Maanvi from her room just as Virat and Seema and arrived home.
Jeevika: Chal Mannu. Khaana khaaney ka time hogaya hai.
Maanvi: Khana!! Abhi ayi!!
Jeevika and Maanvi went downstairs to the table. Maanvi was a little unhappy to see her food was much less colourful than it had been last time. She insisted on eating something more appealing but Jeevika said that she would not eat until Maanvi had finished. Finally and hesitantly Maanvi finished her food.
Maanvi: Di? Ithna khaana koy khilaatha hai kya?
Jeevika: Mannu'tujhey healthy rehenaa hai na. Khaana parreyyga.
Virat was curious as to whether Maanvi had told Jeevika or not. Of course, since he was *angry* with her he did not ask. Instead he turned to Viren.
Virat: Bhay? Maanvi neyy aap dono seyy kuch kaha kya?
Viren had realised that there was something wrong between Virat and Maanvi.
Viren: Tu ussey khud kyu nahi puch leytha?
Virat simply turned his head away. He did not want to talk to Maanvi.
One by one people left the table and returned to their rooms. Jeevika dropped Maanvi off to her room and told her little sister to get as much rest as she could. Jeevika made sure Maanvi was asleep before she left.
A little while later when Maanvi woke up she heard the entire family talking downstairs. When she reached the family are she overheard that Maanvi was going to stay at Chandigar until her cancer was 100% treated. Everyone had agreed to this, even Swamini Bua. Maanvi was so happy that she could spend some more time with her beloved Didi. Maanvi sat down with them and the entire family talked for a while. Virat did not look at Maanvi and she felt extremely forgotten.
A little while later Viren had called Jeevika upstairs. Jeevika told Maanvi that she would be back in a second. Maanvi urged her to go to help Viren with whatever he needed.
Some time passed. Maanvi was showing Vanshika how to work her new Facebook account and Virat was still talking to Seema.
Vanshika: Acchaa'ab chalo Maanvi. Bohoth baathey hogayi. Ab tum jaa key thora der araam karlo.
Maanvi agreed and began to make her way upstairs again when she felt extremely dizzy. She lost the energy to say anything. Her world seemed to be turning upside down. She searched around the room desperately, and then she saw Virat talking to Seema. With great difficulty she began to call out his name but he did not hear. Maanvi was getting weaker by the second she once again called Virat's name but he was not looking in her direction. Maanvi couldn't bare the weight of herself anymore and she fell to the ground. Her head had hit the floor hard and she could feel it bleeding. This time, Virat hadn't made it in time. He was too far away. However, it was his voice that she heard just before she fainted.
Virat: MAANVI!!!!!

When Maanvi woke up she felt someone's head on her chest. She slowly opened her eyes to see that Virat's head was tucked under her chin resting on her chest. She knew Virat had come back to her. She had missed him so much. Maanvi wrapped her arms around him. She put one hand on his back and with the other she stroked his soft hair. Virat's eyes instantly opened to her touch. He looked up to see his face reflecting in Maanvi's beautiful eyes.
Virat: Maanvi'Maanvi I'm'I'm so sorry! Maanvi'merri Maanvi'.
Tears were streaming down Virat's face. Maanvi could tell that he had missed her too.
Virat: Maanvi I'm'I'm sorry. Mein bohoth bura hoon. Merrey vajeyy seyy agar tumhey kuch hojatha tho mein apney aap ko kabhi maaf nahi karpatha. I'm sorry partner. I love you.
Virat leaned in and gently kissed Maanvi's lips softly. Maanvi smiled.
Maanvi: Virat? Di kaha hai?
Virat : Vo'meinney sabsey kaha ki araam karley. Bohoth mushkil seyy samjhaya phir jaakey bhabhi araam karney gayi hai. Abhi bulathaa hoon.
Virat called the entire family. Jeevika was so satisfied to see her Mannu was okay. Jeevika sat with her for quite some time making sure she was okay. The family had dinner today and Jeevika was extremely cautious about Maanvi's eating requirements. At night, she stayed with Maanvi until she fell asleep and then finally returned to her Viren Ji.
Later in the night Virat came into Maanvi's room. He brushed a few strands of her off of her face and kissed her lips again. Maanvi woke feeling like a princess with her prince kissing her. She extended her arms out as if asking for an embrace. Virat fell into them instantly. He rolled over so Maanvi was on top of him. Maanvi cuddled herself in his arms. She felt so safe'so loved'so cared for. Virat gently stroked Maanvi's hair. Sometimes he kissed the top of her head and breathed a sigh of relief that she was okay. Virat wondered where he would be without Maanvi. This girl was literally his life. His reason for existence.
Virat so badly wanted to make Maanvi his and only his tonight. He unbuttoned his shirt and put it aside. Maanvi placed her hands on Virat's bare chest. Virat moved his hand to the back of her salvaar to undo it. Maanvi stopped him.
Maanvi: Shaadi ke baad.
Virat let out a half groan and a half sigh.
Virat: Shaadi ki baad.
'Virat repeated whilst pulling Maanvi closer to him.
Maanvi: Partner?
Virat: Hmmm..?
Maanvi: Shirt peheno.
Virat: Shaadi ki baad.
'Virat said sarcastically indicating that he was not going to put it back on. Maanvi realized that there was no point trying to convince him. He would not put it back on. Instead of saying anything she simply pulled Virat closer to her. Virat kissed her hair before they both settled in for a good night's sleep.
Just before they both drifted off Virat whispered into Maanvi's ears'
Virat: Maanvi'mujhsey shaadi karogi?
But Maanvi was already asleep.
