The next morning Manyata woke up in a very unfamiliar room. It took her mind few minutes to process that she was in Garhwal, her Dad's house. She dressed up in a blue colored Anarkali salwar coupled with matching ear rings. When she came down everyone including 'Uday' were at the dining table having 'Poha' for breakfast. Her Dad whom she was so eager to meet was absent. As she prepared to sit Uday's behavior surprised her. He pulled a chair for her and said "Good Morning Manyata ji, Main ummeed karta hoon ki aapko humara chota sa ghar achcha laga hoga, aayiye breakfast karte hai"

Then Daima served her and when she tried reaching for a glass of water, Uday said " yeh kya Manyata ji, hume batayiye na, hum aapki madat karenge, ye leejiye" he handed her the glass. Now she was beginning to doubt Uday's intentions. He was being overtly polite; she couldn't believe he was the same guy who had spoken so rudely with her. She ignored him and continued with her breakfast.

After everyone finished Uday said loudly so that Daima who was in kitchen could also hear "Manyata ji, kya aap mere saath Ranch dekhne chalengi? Yeh jagah bohot khubsurat hai, aapko pasand aayegi"

As she didn't have other plans Manyata readily agreed, still wondering about Uday's 'Extra' polite behavior.

She followed Uday outside. She was all the more surprised when he ventured towards Horse's stable. 'Kya hum ghode par jaayenge? Lekin main toh kabhi ghode par nahi baithi" she said.

"No problem Manyata ji, aaj baith jaayiye, main hoon na" Uday said with a wink.

Uday chose two horses among them and lead them out. Now Manyata was getting wee bit scared. "yeh do ghode kisliye Uday? Kahin aap hume akele-" Uday cut her sentence in-between "Arre nahi Manyata ji, hum dono ek hi ghode par jaayenge, chaliye, chalte hai.. He smirked stunning her for a second. In a split second Manyata's mind raced with unknown embarrassing feelings she had never experienced before. She cleared her mind and went up to the horse. Now one more problem arose. How would she climb? The Horse was a stallion, too huge.

Uday's Horse:

Then Uday came to her rescue and lifted her atop the horse. With dignity and with a smile. He himself sat behind her and motioned the horse to go. The other horse followed them. Now that both were seated comfortably Manyata was relaxed. She was beginning to trust Uday. She thought "may be the guy is regretting his behavior of yesterday, maybe that's why he is being so kind" but she was wrong.

They had travelled fully out of hearing distance from the house. Uday got an opportunity to carry out his plan. He signaled Sultan the horse to increase speed and it did. The horse was moving in circles as it was an open field. Manyata was feeling dizzy with speed and her stomach was churning with speed. "Uday, roko isko" she literally screamed. But they were moving at a lightning speed and Uday obviously ignored her. Her pleas for stopping the horse went unanswered. As she hung on to the Horse for dear life, Uday swiftly jumped down and laughed uncontrollably, enjoying her plight. The Horse was attempting to throw her down, neighing loudly.

Scene at the House

Daima was in Giriraj's room. Giriraj asked her "Usne mere baare me kuch poocha?"

Daima: kisne?

Giriraj: Daima aap achche se jaanti hai main kiski baat kar raha hoon...usko yahan aaye poora ek din ho gaya aur aapne ab tak mujhe usse milne nahi diya..

Daima : tumhe thoda sabar karna hoga..abhi toh aayi hai woh..shayad tumhe dekhkar use achcha na lage..Hum yeh nahi bhool sakte ki Mona ne usko kya kya patti padhakar bheja hoga tumhare khilaf…Isiliye kuch din tum kamre me hi rehna. Uske saamne mat aana..

Giriraj: theek hai jaisa aap kahen..

**************************************************************

Uday seated himself on the other horse and followed the scared girl and the stallion. He told her with a very familiar smirk "Manyata ji, dekha aapne kitna mazaa aaraha hai,"

Manyata : "Uday, mazak mat karo, please isko rok lo mujhe ghar jaana hai"

Now Uday's behavior changed. He said "ab ghar ki yaad aayi na tumhe, ab pata chala mujhse panga lene ka nateeja? Ab jab tak mera mann karega tab tak tumhe aise hi rehna hoga, jamke enjoy karna Manyata 'ji', ..

Manyata : Uday, mujhe sach me pata nahi meri galati kya hai..par mujhe aisi sazaa mat do, main tumhara haath jodti hoon..please bachalo mujhe,

Uday: chillao mat, yaha koi nahi aayega tumhe bachane, tumhara Mumbai nahi hai yeh..

Manyata: Uday, tum jo kahoge jaise kahoge main karoongi par please mujhe neeche utharo..
