" kasu get up my jaan... we have to leave honey...
"
manvi tried waking up kasak but she was not at all ready to
get out of the bed. virat came out of the bathroom and saw this scene.
" let her sleep manvi... we will go and grab some
delicious breakfast... only you and me... " said virat in a tone higher
than his usual one.
" okk virat... good idea... " manvi played along
her husband.
in less than 10 seconds, kasak got up rubbing her eyes and
stood on the bed.
" i will also go... im hungry... " said kasak.
" no sweetheart... you should catch some sleep...
" said virat.
" no... no i dont want to sleep... its late... good
girls wake up early in the morning...
hai na mumma...??? "
" yes baby... definitely... " replied manvi.
manvi took kasak to the bathroom and got her ready for
breakfast.
****************
"its nice to be back home... " manvi beamed with
happiness as she got into HER bed.
" true... " replied virat who was working on his
laptop.
" you are very busy these days still you took out some
time for me n kasak... thanks... "
" you guys are my family... remember pinhead...
" virat remarked with eyes still fixed on the laptop screen.
" you pinhead dont ever call me that... "
" else...?? " said virat further teasing and
irritating manvi.
" else i will throw you out of the room... or may be
out of the house... "
" ohhh please dont... where will i go manvi ji...???
" asked virat looking at manvi for the first time now.
manvi looked at the puppy face of her husband and in an
instant her heart melted.
" ok ok... now go back to your boring stuff
vadera... and then come to ME..." said manvi after winking at virat.
" come to me... ahaan... thats quite a motivation
now... i have to complete this shit asap... "
" im waiting... " manvi said looking at virat
and enjoying their cute little moment.
***************
" m... maan... " whispered naina with her eyes
still feeling heavy and pain in her head.
" im right here... im here nain... " replied
maan.
naina relieved on listening to the soothing voice of her
husband and slowly opened her eyes. she drank in the image of her husband and
tried getting up and maan helped her do the same.
" maan... i.. "
maan cut naina in between by taking her in his arms.
" how did you hurt yourself...??? nain i was so
scared... i came back to the cabin and found you on the floor covered in
blood... i felt as if i lost my everything... "
naina hugged maan and closed her eyes. listening to maan's
side of the story made her understand what would have happened when she passed
out. mohit must have left her lying on the floor, covered in the pool of blood,
in a hope that he would kill her child but only she knows that there is no such
baby. she is not pregnant instead she made it up; when she started feeling
uncomfortable with mohit all time around her. she somewhat knew why mohit was
being beside her all the time and she kinda felt like she was cheating on maan;
by being with her ex. her being pregnant, was just an excuse so that mohit
never tries coming close to her and making her go weak. but never did she cross
any boundaries and go on with the flow of events and time. yes maan was away
from her, leaving her alone but that doesnt give hsr an excuse to cheat on her
husband. things worsened when mohit started convincing naina to get rid of that
baby, the baby which was of the man; who is supposedly cheating on her.
" maan lets go back... i dont want to stay here... i
miss home... " naina said with fear in her voice... fear of going away
from maan.
" but nain... you said you want to be here when
rishabh's baby is born... " replied maan.
" no... there is technology and i will not miss a
single moment... take me back maan... " naina pleaded..
" okk... we will leave but there is something i want to
tell you..."
" what...?? "
naina was very scared thinking what if maan really cheated
on her...
******************
" this is not an accident madhu... " rishabh told
madhu for tenth time in the past one hour.
" what are you trying to say...???? that someone got
into your office and hit your sister with something... " said madhu
irritatedly. it wasnt that she didnt care about naina but we can call it her
pregnancy hormones that wasnt letting her think like a detective and overthink
things.
" you think im overthinking... right...??? "
" i never said so... " madhu shrugged.
" i know you that much... "
" whatever makes you happy... "
madhu lied down on the bed and closed her eyes.
rishabh sulked and paced around the room. he wasnt ready to
believe that this was an aacident; something was wrong... definitely wrong...
******************
" cook me breakfast today... " manvi told virat
the next morning.
" excuse me... "
virat looked with a shocked expression on his face.
" why are you shocked...??? i never told you to go and
bring stars for me... " replied manvi while reading the fashion magazine.
" you are having morning sickness and i would feel bad
if you end up throwing up the wonderful breakfast i will make you... so no i
will not make a breakfast for you... i will instead ask mom to make something
for you... " said virat in one breathe.
" i will not throw up... trust me... " said
manvi.
" no sweetheart... you will... so next time
promise... " saying this virat went out of the room as fast as he could.
manvi made a frowned face and then smiled at her husband and his
silly excuses.
after having breakfast, manvi felt lazy and came to her
bedroom. she was about to doze off when her mobile phone rang.
" hello..."
" its me mannu... naina... "
" nainu... how are you...??? where are you...??? you
dont miss me now... you no longer meet me... do you hate me...??? say
something... nain... " manvi said in a on stop manner.
" im sorry mannu... can we meet today...???
please... "
" yes... you come over here..." suggested manvi.
" no... i cant come there... you meet me somewhere
outside... or at my place or we can go meet aunty... " replied naina.
" nainu is something wrong...??? dont dare lie to
me... "
" i need to see you mannu... see you... " said
naina in a heavy voice.
**************
" you are not going anywhere alone..." rishabh
told naina who came downstairs dressed in blue jeans and baby pink tank top.
" bhai please... now you should just stop ruling my
life... and anyways maan and i are leaving soon... "
" and you are telling me this NOW... ??? "
" yes... actually i didnt get time to tell you... it
was a sudden plan... " explained naina.
" you are scared of something... rather someone...
right...??? "
" bhai..."
" nain i love you soo much... i know when something
bothers you... but dont worry im there to protect you... " said rishabh.
" bhai i love you too... my life is a mess right
now... bhai i cant risk things right now... i.. i"
" dont get emotional now... meri nainu ka make up
kharab ho jaega... " said risshabh wiping a drop of tear that rolled down
naina's cheek.
" ohh yeah... thanks... will you drop me at mitali's
aunty place...??? "
" yes... i also miss aunty... come... "
**************
" how i everything my honeybun...???" asked
mitali.
" ohh mom dont call me honeybun... pleaseee...
"
" ok ok... how come you decided to meet your poor
mommy...??? " asked mitali puting a slice of apple in manvi's mouth.
" ek parcel aane wala hai... " manvi replied
after chewing the apple.
" ohhh... mere
liye gift hai...??? virat ne bheja hai...??"
" haha... ghanta... its from my side... "
replied manvi.
the door bell rang and manvi opened the door.
" aa gya parcel mommy..." manvi told mitali.
mitali came to the door and beamed with happiness on seeing
naina.
" mera bacha... "
mitali hugged naina and manvi smiled seeing the exchange.
" mera hug please... " came the voice.
manvi and mitali both got surprised to see the owner of the
voice.
" rishabh... do do parcel... " said mitali.
mitali hugged rishabh and manvi strangely felt like the old
times.
" kaisi ho...??" rishabh asked manvi.
" im good... tum...?? " replied manvi closing the
door.
" mannu rishu main bhi hoon... " said naina.
" nainu... i missed you sweetheart... " said
manvi and hugged her best friend.
" cmon now you three sit and i will bring something to
eat..." said mitali.
rishabh, naina and manvi sat in the living room and for the
first time ever, they felt awkward with each other.
" listen i think i should leave... you best friends
definitely want to talk alone... " said rishabh getting up from the sofa.
" you can stay rishabh... " said manvi; not
looking at him.
" manvi can we be friends...?? forget everything that
happened... " rishabh said; feeling apologetic.
" forgetting evrything isnt that easy... but we can be
friends... but dont expect my husband to suddenly like you and become friends
with you... " replied manvi.
" okk... no expectations..."
after sometime
"mom took hell lot of a time... i will go and
check... " said manvi.
naina smiled at rishabh and hugged his arm.
" im proud of you bhai... ' said naina.
" thank you... copypaste...' replied rishabh.
" MOOOMMM... " shouted manvi.
naina and rishabh got scared and ran into the kitchen. they
saw mitali lying on the floor and mavi sitting on the floor with tears rolling
down her eyes.
rishabh took mitali to the hospital and naina took care of
manvi.
" aunty will be fine mannu... she will be fine...
" naina kept telling that to manvi; who was continuously weeping.
naina informed mahesh and virat about mitali being in the
hospital and soon they reached there.
" it was a heart attack... but now she is fine...
" said the doctor.
" thank you doctor... " said virat.
" can i meet my mom...??? " asked manvi.
" yes... but after 10 minutes... " replied the
doctor.
************
rishabh and naina reached home after making sure that mitali
was alright and so was manvi. naina entered her room and saw maan looking out
of the window. naina went to him and hugged him from behind.
" where have you been...?? " asked maan putting
his hand over naina's.
" i went to meet manvi and mitali aunty had a heart
attack... we were in the hospital... " replied naina with teary eyes.
maan pushed naina away hurriedly and looked at her with a
stern expression on his face.
" you are telling me this now... when exactly were
you planning to tell me... exactly when naina...???? "
maan said in a bit higher tone but it successfully scared
naina.
" maan why are you over reacting... i told you as
soon as i got home... " said naina.
" you should have told me before naina... do you
even realise how importance all this is...??? "
" why is this so important for you maan...??? you met
aunty for only once... " said naina in a confused tone. she couldnt get
why was maan so worried about all this.
" dont ask questions in answer of a question... i hate
it naina... " maan said frustratedly.
" you cant talk to me like that... "
" i definitely can... mind it... "
" maan what is wrong with you...??? why are you
getting pissed off...??? " asked naina.
" because its about my... my mother... " came
the reply.
" what...??? "
naina utterly confused sat on the bed and maan explained her
whatever happened with him. when he went to manvi's place and met mitali for
the first time; something stirred inside him... he felt as if he ha been to
that place before... he felt similar... and most of all he found mitali
recognisable. this confused him and he decided to visit his elder brother,
raghav. but when he refused to answer any of his questions, maan decided to go
see his grandmother. seeing his misery, his grandmother came to her rescue. she
showed maan some sketches he used to sketch as a child but as he grew up he
forget about it. maan was shocked to see that the pair of eyes sketched on
those sheets reminded him only and only of mitali. finally after meeting
several people, he came to know about his past. he was brought into that family
by raghav's father and they accepted him as their own son.
" mannu had a brother... no... i dont know about any
of this... " said naina.
" may be they accepted that... that they lost me for
ever... and... and thought its better to forget about me... " replied
maan.
" its unbelievable... but why didnt you tell anyone of
us about it...?? maan... "
" what should i have said naina... i cant tell them
that their manav is alive... i cant let them lose me again... "
" lose you again...?? " asked naina.
" i really love you naina and we staying here in india
will just create problems... you want to go back to canada and i want to be
with you... so... " said maan.
" maan please dont do this... dont this to aunty and
mannu... i will feel guilty of separating you from them again... "
" are you sure...??? " asked maan suddenly
hopeful.
" hmm... very sure... "
