CHAPTER 13
manvi ran n ran till the time she reached the house which was her destiny, the house where she had spent the most beautiful time of her life with her kabir, the house which was her kabir's. manvi stood in front of the door, controlled her heartbeats and rang the bell. the door opened, and manvi saw that there was no one on the door, she opened the door more n entered the house.
next moment she was pinned to the wall and her kabir in front of her. manvi stopped blinking n stared at him. her kabir was standing in front of her eyes and somehow she was scared thinking what if this was another dream of hers.
manvi : k.. ka.. kabir...
kabir : mani...
manvi hugged him there n then and bursted into tears, the tears which she was controlling from so long, all the emotions which she didnt show anyone after the time kabir left were now out of control. she felt his arms wrapped around her protectively and his touch still had that magic which it had years back. manvi broke the hug and cupped his face and kissed him all over.
manvi : i missed you kabir... i missed you so much... never leave me now... i love you kabir... i really love you...
kabir : i love you mani... i missed you like hell... you have no idea how have i survived these 3 years...i wasnt living mani i was just breathing... tum jaan ho meri... jindagi ho meri... tumhari saanse, tumhari har dhadhkan meri hai, yahan tak ki tumhari maut bhi meri hai... bas itna yaad rakhna ke kabir apni mani ke liye kuch bhi kar sakta hai... apni jaan de dunga lekin tumpe ek aanch nahi dunga...

few days passed by, manvi n kabir used to meet chori chori chupke chupke n enjoy their time and strnegthen their love... on the other hand, virat even though being with maya, couldnt go close to her n all he could think about was manvi... the only thing that was on his mind was manvi, his partner, his ded futiya.. he was worried because these days he talked less with manvi n whenver he called manvi, manvi was way too busy in dont know what... she never told him what was occupying most of her time.
virat : kya karun main iska...?? where are u these days partner...?? you are making me go insane...
maya : i thought you were already mad in my love...
virat : oh maya when did u come...??
maya : when you were saying that i am making u go crazy...
virat : oh (and he faked a smile at his to be fiance...)
maya : i was wondering why dont we call the designer today n finalise our customes... u know what virat i want both of us to e colour coordinated on our engagement...
virat : wowww... thats great (said with excitement, but the truth was that he was least interested)
maya : so i will go n make an important call baby...
virat : ok baby...
this kept happening for many days, maya kepting eating virat's brain regarding the engagement n the preparations n all which used to piss him off. and viren was noticing a change in virat, he wasnt paying attention to maya at all, he used to just stare at his mobile and kept checking it after every 2 minutes. viren knew that virat was missing manvi n her usual chattering and he still had a hope that virat would realise that manvi is the girl for him. everyone in the vadera house was trying to understand maya n accept her as a family member but it was difficult for all. vanshika also thought that maya wasnt the perfect match for his son but she was quiet thinking that maya was virat's happiness, his love but still she sometimes noticed something missing in virat's eyes n his smile.
days passed by, kabir n manvi to their usual self n finally manvi gathered the courage to tell beeji n other family members that kabir was back n kabir was whole heartedly accepted by beeji as there was no reason to disapprove of their love n their relationship.
at ganga ghat
kabir : mani...
manvi : yes jaan...
kabir : u know what mum dad are coming in few days...
manvi : wow... thats so great... it means we will be getting engaged soon...
kabir : soon...?? naah... very soon...
manvi got up from the stairs of the ghat and hugged kabir n kabir picked her up in his arms.
" manvi didi " disturbed their romance n brought them back to the real world where people were staring at them and it seemed that their eyes would pop out any moment. kabit put manvi down n manvi bent down n asked her punters...
manvi : kya hai re...??
ria : didi... didi... aap toh humko bhool hi gayi ho...
manvi : nahi re meri katrina...
ria : di aap toh din bhar kabir bhaiya ke saath hi hoti ho... humse toh bilkul pyaar hi nahi karti ab...
manvi : aisa kisne kaha...?? pagal ho gayi hai kya...??
ria : dabbu bhaiya na...
manvi : uss dabbe ki toh main... dekh ria main na tum sabse bahut pyaar karti hoon... by god.. tum kuch bolo na kabir...
kabir : tum toh mujhse bhi nahi kehti mani...
manvi : kya...??
kabir : wohi i love you..

manvi : topic mat change karo na kabir... abhi focus on this choti khoti ria maharani...
kabir : toh ria ko hum ice cream khilae... strawberry wali...
ria : yes...
manvi : aur mujhe chocolate...
kabir : so lets go girls...
there in chandigarh, virat got to know that manvi helped maya to get back to him. he was heartbroken n angry on manvi n he even broke his relationship with maya saying that she again betrayed him n lied to him. everybody at vadera house was unaware of this, and they were preparing for the engagement, when virat came n asked them to stop all their work as this engagement wouldnt happen now. everybody was shocked n asked virat the reason for this. virat told them that he does not want to marry a selfish n self centered girl like maya. viren came back home n went to virat's room n then happens the much awaited realisation. viren made virat realise his love for manvi, his partner, his love, his ded futiya...
virat : main aa raha hoon manvi... rishikesh be ready... virat singh vadera aa raha hai apni dulhania le jaane... and smiled imagining the scene...
