VirMan's Love : Together in Joy and Pain

Winter

India Gate (New Delhi) Time Morning 5:00 AM

A man in his early 30s is sitting on a bench along the grass stretches near India Gate, looking at the never dying flame of Amar Jawaan Jyoti. Perhaps the flame seemed quite similar to the flame in his heart, which despite of giving so many bruises bestowed him a certain peace...certain calmness which even this chilling winter could not give. It was the month of January and was a really chilly/foggy winter morning. Human beings were the rarest species to be found in such weather, especially in this place which is considered to be the coldest in Delhi. But this man didn't seem to bother any of this; he was tall masculine spectacled man gazing at the empty road waiting for someone. The morning chill was the last thing to disturb him, though there was one thing that was annoying him and it was the fog which barred him from seeing the far off things. His looked very composed and emotionless. The man described here is none other than our favourite Viraat.

Viraat was sitting all alone in this chilly weather of Delhi all immersed in his own world when someone touched his shoulder. making him look back and up.

"Want some coffee Partner???" said a voice

Viraat looked up, behind him was standing a spectacled woman in her late 20's, in a peach colour salwaar with a long over-coat, untied hair. Viraat looked at her and recalled someone very close...someone very near to him. A smile featured on his till now expressionless face with the presence of this pretty woman. She was none other than his Partner...his Partner in pain ...his Partner in joy...She was his Partner for Life ...She was his Maanvi.

Maanvi : Kyaa hua?? Abb mujhe ghurte hi rahoge yaa yeh coffee bhi loge???

Viraat (smiling) : Ohh sorry...Main bhul gaya tha...

Maanvi : (making herself sit next to Viraat) Tumhe nai lagta ..ki tum kuch jaldi hi bhude ho rahe ho?? Itni jaldi mujhe bhul gaye??

Viraat : Kisne kaha main tumhe bhool gaya? Main bas yeh soch raha tha ki tum kitni badal gayi ho.. I mean yeh spects and all ..(raises his eyebrow) aunty lagne lagi ho ...(smirks)

Maanvi : (Frowning) Viraat ...tumhari himmat kaise hui mujhe aunty kahene ki ...tum khudko dekho...I can see that grey hair on your head (tries to pull it out, Viraat is irritated and grabs her hands to stop)

Viraat : Ruko Maanvi ...mere baal mat kharab karo..

Maanvi : Kyun khazana chupa hain kya uske niche...(Laughing)

Viraat : Jo bhi ho ...tumhe kyaa..jaldi coffee do..

Maanvi doesn't drag the joke and hand his coffee and they both sip it to beat the chill.

Maanvi : Ajj thand kuch jyaada hi meharbaan nai hain Delhi pein.??..Mere to haath hi jam gaye the drive karte hue...(she says while rubbing her palm, she had to drive in this winter to get this coffee)

Viraat : Thand...? Kahan hain ..thand???..tum isse thand kaheti ho...London isse double chilling hain ...wahan hoti to kya karti phir????

Maanvi : (giving him a disgusted look at the mention of London) Phir tumne aapna London puran shuru kar diya...Itni yaad aati hain London ki to wahi kyun nai bas jaate ...yaahan bhoot banke mandrane ki kya jarrorat hain (while drinking her coffee)

Viraat : (looking at her) Kyun ki... (Maanvi looked at him ...and they stared at each other and a chilly silence prevailed between them, as if they were communicating in silence)

After the last words from Viraat ..none of them spoke really. It seemed that both have started on a journey along the memory lanes...recollecting what all they had to go through all these year, with the chilly wind excavating the deep embedded pains within them.

Five years ago...(Chandigarh : Vadhera House)

Jeevika's Room (sometime in evening)

Maanvi comes in...

Maanvi : (restless) Di.. Kya hua ..aap aisa kyun behave kar rahi ho??

Jeevika : Mannu ..tu jaa yahan se mujhe bahut kaam hain (in a serious note trying to look busy..Maanvi never saw her like this)

Maanvi : Bolo na kya baat hain ..aap kal se mujhse thik se baat nai kar rahe ?? Aur abhi bhi sabke saamne se aise chali aayi .. iska kya matlab hain ..Jiju ke saath koi tension ..yaa ..Bua ne kuch kaha ?? Please bolo na ...this silence is killing me.

Jeevika : (not able to control herself) Haan Mannu ...mujhe problem hain but Viren ji yaa Bua ji se nai tujhse...(Mannu shocked to hear that) ..Shock laga ??? Mujhe bhi laga tha jab mujhe pata chala ki mere hazaar baar kehene ke baad bhi tune Viraat se doori nai banayi ...Aur aaj tere vajah se peheli baar ..mujhe Bua ji ke aage sharminda hona padha..Maine peheli baar unse behas kiya woh bhi tere vajah se ...(Maanvi guessing what is the reason ...why her di is behaving like this..as Jeevika continues)

Jeevika : (Holds Maanvi's hands) Dekh Mannu main tujhse gussa nai hoon ..Mujhe pata hain tune koi galti nai kiya ...par yeh baat bua ji nai samjhengi..

Maanvi : Di .aap kya kahe raho ho mujhe kuch samajh nai aa raha...

Jeevika : Mannu mujhe pata hain Viraat tera bahut aacha dost hain..aur usne teri bahut madad ki hain ...par Mannu tu yeh nai bhul sakti ki woh iss ghar ka beta hain ...jis ghar ki teri di..bahu hain ...Mannu yahan ke log bahut different hain..yahan tu aapne Hrishikesh wale dosto ki tarah behave nai kar sakti...Maanvi abhi tu badi ho chuki hain... aur tere aur Viraat ke iss dosti ko log sahi tareeke se nai lete..Maine tujhe pehele bhi kaha tha ..aur ajj phir kahe rahi ..usse doori banaye rakh ..issime teri bhi bhalai hain aur MERI BHI

Mannu thinking, how to react to this entire thing. She always wanted to share this beautiful feeling of love with her sister but due to recent development she could never tell her the truth. She didn't want to tell her a lie but at the same time knew that the truth will shatter her Di forever. She knew the storms that the recent accident has brought to this family and now the most intelligent solution would be to keep the truth under wraps and control the damage it has caused. She never wanted her to be the reason behind her sister's sorrow but unfortunately all her initiative seemed to fail her and she would always end up bringing problems to Jeevika's life and hence to her life also. It was the time for Maanvi to take the decision ...to take a step forward and put a full stop to all these issues for once and for all.

Maanvi : (composing herself and pacifying Jeevika, holds Jeevikas palm in her hand) Di... Aap yeh kaise soch sakte ho ki .main aapke life mein koi problem laungi ...Main to apne sabse bure sapno mein bhi aisa nai soch sakti. Di ...trust me aisa kuch nai hoga jisse aapko ya kisi aur ko sharminda hona padhe. Yeh saari problem mere aur Viraat ke vajah se hain and I promise you we will solve it soon aap shant ho jao aur rest karo. (tries to smile, but from inside was crying like mad) Di Viraat sirf aur sirf mera aacha dost hain aur use jyada kuch bhi nai ...aur haamare rishta isse aage na to bada hain aur naa hi kabhi badh sakta hain...isilye aap iske baade mein sochna chor dijiye aur aapne is naye angel ki taraf dhyaan dijiye...(looking at 3 months old Jeevika's daughter, Vartika, who was sleeping)

(Insight Into Jeevika's life

She is the elder sister of Maanvi and have lost their parents in their Childhood. (as we already know) Jeevika has done her best in bringing up her li'l sister along with BG. She is the utmost sober person and the perfect woman in every sense and can steal anybody's heart with her decency. She is an out and out positive character gets easily tensed and poor in judging people. Her bond with Maanvi is one of a kind very rarely found now. She understood Maanvi very well but not too the extent Maanvi could understand her. Though Maanvi was the younger and the troublemaker of them but still somewhere when it came to understanding each other Maanvi had an edge over Jeevika and that's what made all the difference. Though Jeevika never wanted bad for Maanvi but she really did falter in understanding her sister in certain crucial situations. Well now Jeevika , is married to the Viren Vadhera for almost 3 years and has also given birth to a beautiful doll like daughter named Vartika by Viren's Badi Maa. Maanvi wanted her to be named Ananya but her wishes were never to be concerned in this case. )

After the entire discussion with Jeevika, Maanvi came out of her room in an emotionally broken state as she knew the truth that whatever she told her dearest Di was not true. She knew the depth of her feelings for Viraat and in that case also Viraat's love for her, that was no more a hidden fact. In last couple of years they had transformed from being friends to best buddies and now soulmates. She knew how difficult it will be for her to persuade him for what she was right now thinking or else how difficult it was going to be for her to accept the decision she has just made. A lot was going on in her mind. Her mind was totally drained of emotions she was walking lifeless. She went to the terrace and started looking aimlessly at the sky.. Her eyes were filled with tears as she remembered what had happened in past 48 hrs.

2 Days back...(Morning after Breakfast in Vadhera House)

Viraat's Room

Viraat roaming in the room impatiently with his phone, trying to call someone but it seems the person concerned was not attending the call. He was pacing fast and looked quite restless.

"Arre phone kyun nai attend kar rahi.. kab se call kar raha hoon"...He was referring to Maanvi who had made a surprise appearance in the Vadhera house with the entire Chaudhary family last night itself but till now couldn't manage herself to meet her "Partner" Viraat. And this thought was killing Viraat every second.

"Kya hua mere Indian Ferrari??? Ajj kise haarana hain??" said a voice from Viraat's back. Viraat turns back to see the most awaited person of his life Maanvi.

Maanvi : (raising her eyebrow while she makes her way to the room) Kya hua bataya nai ..aaj tum room ke ander hi jogging kis khushi mein kar rahe ho????

Viraat without thinking for a moment rushes and hugs her tight. Maanvi even could not control herself and gives him a tight hug in return. After sometime they detach themselves from the hug and looks into each other eyes and recollects the time they spent away from each other.

Maanvi : Typical Hindi Film Hero ...(She says with an attitude...)

Viraat : What???

Maanvi : Aur kya ...filmo mein nai dekhte ..hero ..heroine bahut dino baad ek dusre se milte hain aur ..ek dusre ko dekhte hi daurke jaate hain aur hug karte hain ...Abhi tumne bhi wahi to kiyaa... (Goes near him and say says slowly)... Itna bhi nai socha ki agar koi haemin dekh leta to kya sochta...

Viraat : Oh shut up Maanvi...Tum kal raat se aayi hui ho ..aur issi ghar mein ho par ..ek baar bhi tumhe mujhse thik se baat karne ka time nai mila ...Baaki sabse gale mil liya...hasi mazak kar liya ..par jo yaahan tumhare liye sabse jyaada wait kar raha tha ..usko ek milligram ka bhi bahv nai diya ..and U call me your Partner...(looks away .and pouts only to grab her attention)

Maanvi : (goes near him and looks into his eyes) Ohho ..To aap mujhe miss kar rahe the????...(her heart saying "Aww..I missed you too"..then this is Maanvi she will never express her weakness) But sorry main yeh nai kahe sakti ...woh kya hain na main yahan tumse nai Vartika se milne aayi hoon ..uske saath thoda time spend karne aayi hoon. To sabse pehele priority to usse hi milegi ..phir Jeevika di ..unka bhi to khayal rakhna hain ki nai ..Aakhir di hain woh meri..Aur uske baad jaake agar koi time baacha to tumhari baari aayegi baachu...U know I m a busy girl (says all this in a great attitude ..Viraat keeps staring at her and smiling)

Viraat and Maanvi both knew each other's importance in their lives. They both knew all the anger, all the attitude they show towards each other are just the spices which only made their love pristine.

Viraat : (holds her from waist and brings further close) Aachaa ...matlab tumhare liye meri koi value nai hai ..(looks into her eyes)...

Maanvi : (getting conscious) Viraat kya kar rahe ho ...chhoro ...(Viraat's nods saying "No") Viraat ...main kehe rahi hoon ...(Maanvi's phone rings ...Caller ID flashes Swamini Bua)

Maanvi : Viraat ..chhoro ...Bua ka call hain ..(Viraat lossen his grip but still holding her)

Maanvi picks the phone ...

"Hello Bua ji ...Haan ...Haan ...Nai ...Main ...Haan ...Thik hain ...Haan main abhi do minute mein aa rahi hoon ..Ji bua bilkul late nai hogi ...Ji ..." Cuts the phone ...

Maanvi : Isilye kahe rahi thi ..tumhe ..time waste mat karo ..

Viraat : (Amaze and leaves her from his hold) Arre ab maine kya kiya ... time to tum waste kar rahi thi ..apni faltu bakwas se..aur yeh bua ka call aachanak woh bhi tumhe ..kya baat hain "Partner" aajkal bua ko badi Makkhan laga rahi ho (winks)

Maanvi : Wahi to main tumhe bolne aayi thi ..Actually mere aane ka yaahan ek important reason yeh bhi hain ..Swamini Bua ki jo NGO hain woh Mere NGO ke collaboration mein ek event kar rahi hain ..to ussi ke silsile mein aaj koi important meeting hain kisi ...bahut bare sponsor se...aur mujhe unse milne jaana hain abhi thode der mein...

Viraat : Wow thats a good news ...All the best Partner...(smiles)

Maanvi : Thanks ...okk ...Abhi main chalti hoon (tries to run)

Viraat : (pulls her hands) Arre itni jaldi kya hain ...Abhi hamari baat khatam kaha hui ...tumne bataya nai tumne mujhe miss kiya ki nai???

Maanvi : Uff ohh ...Viraat ..abhi time nai inn sab baato ka ..Niche bua mera wait kar rahi hain ..aur agar thodi bhi late ho gayi naa ..to... to ..woh phir se mujhse naraaz ho jayengi ... Mujhe jaana hain chhoro...

Viraat keeps looking at her when she was speaking "Maanvi ...(pause) Tumhe kabhi bura nai lagta??"

Maanvi : Bura ..kis baat ka ?? Tumhare bakwass ka ...??

Viraat : (clearing his throat) Nai mera matlab hain Bua tumhe itna daanti hain ..tumhe har baat ke liye accuse karti hain ...Off course unhe most of the time poori baat pata nai hoti ..But don't you get angry at her???

Maanvi : Viraaat ...Yeh tum kaisi baatein kar rahe ho ..Main aur woh bhi Bua ji se kaise gussa ho sakti hoon ..woh badi hain mujhse aur unka haq hain mujhe daantne ka ..aur waise bhi meri harkateein hi aisi hoti hain ki log mujhe daante ko majboor ho jaate hain ...Aur agar iss tarah dekha jaayein to sabse jyaada daant to mujhe Beeji se padhti hain to kya main apni god mother Beeji se bhi gussa ho jao ...Viraat yeh zindagi hain isko kisi pein gussa hoke ..kisise naraaz hoke kyun bitana ...Maine apne bimmari se itna to seekh liya hain ..ki life ki koi guarantee nai hoti hain boss ..to jitna jeena hain ...abhi jee lo ..Kal ki kise pata..Aur jab tak main zinda hoon tab tak mera yehi funda hain ki bhai jiyo aur jeene do ...aur jeene ke saath saath sabko khush bhi rakho ...haan aur agar iss chakkar mein thodi bahut galtiyaan ho jaayein to I don't care ...(gives a naughty smile..to Viraat ..who responds back with a smile)

Viraat : Baap re ...tumhe ek question pucho tum to poori ki poori Mahabharat sunane baith jaati ho ..Kahan sikhti ho yeh filmi lines..Haan??? Anyway I just wish Bua tumhari inn baato ko jaldi samjhe aur tumhe bhi baki sabke tarah pasand karne lage...

Maanvi : Aisa bahut jald ho ga Partner... Just .pray karo ki aaj sab kuch thik thik ho jaye phir main bhi khush aur bua bhi

Viraat : (raises his hand) Aur main bhi...

Maanvi laughs ..."Okk ... bye ... abhi main chalti hoon ..wish me luck" phone rings again and Maanvi gets going...Viraat says trying to stop her "Arre par mera kiss" ...Maanvi who was about to reach the door suddenly turns back and in no times comes and hugs him and plants a small peck and says "Bye ..Partner..waise all the best for ur meeting with the producer too"

(Viraat was amazed to see that even without a single mention of his work...how Maanvi did not forget to wish him luck for the important work he had today. Viraat was in final talks with the producer for the launch of his comeback album)

Viraat was also happy with the small gesture of love his Maanvi showed just now and moved forward to kiss her...she stopped and said "Not now ..Mr Viraat Vadhera...Sabraa karo ..Sabra ka fal meetha ho ta hain ..bahut meetha" Saying this .she hits is chest playfully and goes out of the room.

Viraat alone in his room ..."All the best Maanvi ..Aaj tum jarroor jitogi" and goes back to prepare for his meeting.

Maanvi was pacing fast on the stair...and trying figure out the excuse behind her recent blunder (ohkk...it happened in Viraat's room just now..She had just cut Swamini Bua's last call in the excitement of saying bye to Viraat and she knew this is going add some new drama to her life now..but to her surprise Bua was not bothered about it)

Rather on her way down the stairs she found a very snobbish lady dressed in White Shirt and Black trouser was keeping Bua occupied in some discussions. Maanvi also noticed that for some unknown reason the otherwise confident and proud look on Swamini's face was replaced with a certain paleness and discomfort. She was trying to judge the reason as she approached them...

End of Part 1 ...Let's see Who is this snobbish lady and what havoc she plays in Viraat and Maanvi's lives.

Part 2

Maanvi walks down to the drawing room where that aristocratic lady was standing and was constantly blabbering at Swamini Bua. Maanvi was not a part of the discussion so preferred to stay quiet for a while but was confused to see Bua so silent, after all she is not one of those ladies who would tolerate any kind of non sense around her.

(This snobbish lady was Miss Sonali Kukreja owner of the sponsoring company. She was a renowned name in the city and was an active member of several social causes..At least till now everyone assumed so.)

Sonali : Swamini ji aap kiss jamane ki baatein kar rahi hain ...Hum abhi 21^st century mein hain...India is reaching places now..These things are very common these days ...Don't worry we can handle everything... U just have to tell me how much buck do I need to invest and my team will provide you the best available in the business...

Swamini : Silent

Maanvi : Business???? (wonders...Yeh bol kya rahi hain ...)

Maanvi's impromptu reaction made those two look at her, and hence a stop in their conversation.

Sonali : (pointing finger at Maanvi) Who is she???

Swamini : She is Jeevika's sister ..and also the worker at Hriday (Maanvi's NGO) at Rishikesh...

Sonali : Oh ..I see ..What ever ...

Maanvi : (in head) Whatever??? ..yeh samjhti kya hain khudko ..baat kaise kar rahi hain...

As they continue their talk ...Ignoring Maanvi..mainly Sonali ..who doesn't even look at Maanvi thus making it clear that she is a no-business person for her. But this time Swamini was expecting Maanvi to indulge in-between, though she did not say anything but her mind was wishing for it. Probably she was tired handling this lady.

Sonali : Swamini aap itna soch kyun rahi hain ..iske bare kisi ko pata nai chalega. Dekhiye aaj ke time pein bina promotion ke kuch nai hota...I assure you ...kuch bhi nahi hoga..you can trust my team any day ..they handle such things everyday..

Swamini : Par ..Sonali...I don't feel this is right ..I mean you try to understand ...(She sounded too timid...for some reason)

Sonali : Noo nnoo ...there is no point discussing any further ..you have to agree to it ...

Maanvi was constantly keeping a track of Swamini's increasingly tensed look and hence now felt it necessary to finally jump in the conversion of which she was till now a silent audience...

Maanvi : (extremely decent) Sonali ..maam may I know what you are discussing about...I have been listening to you both since long but Sorry I m not able to figure out anything..Please help me...

Sonali : (looks at her and sees some kind of hope) Oh yaa ..I forgot you ...See Maanvi please tell your Bua to change her views...girl this is god damn 21^st century ...she needs to change her view big time ..please tell her to understand...

Maanvi : Ohhhkkk ...But what's the matter ?

Sonali : Oh ..yaa ..actually I was thinking Swamini's NGO is doing fine but has never caught any limelight ...so was planning to glamourise up the entire thing and grab some attention before going for the main event . I was planning something like we will get group of kids from the NGO on road or somewhere..and will show them being treated very badly ...and then suddenly Swamini and me will enter the scene and save those kiddo's. My team will organise press around there and that how we will first promote the existence of this NGO ..and once we reach to the audience then ..there will be no look back be it the matter of Donation or getting some celeb for the inauguration. Does n't it sound rocking..(She was saying it with glory ..contradictory to Maanvi who had gone all red hearing it)...I mean a small publicity gimmick like this and we are all set...Main tumhare bua ji ko yehi bol rahi thi ..but woh pata nai kaunse zamaane mein jee rahi hain ..I m sure ..you will agree to my idea..You look quite intelligent ...

Maanvi : (Fierce..she had enough of her...she can never tolerate anything against children.) Sorry ...Did you just say that you will involve innocent kids in your dirty and selfish plan????? Aur aapko lagta hain ki main aur bua aapke baat ko maan lenge...I mean are you out of you mind...Aap kaise chhote baacho ko woh bhi jo already orphans hain unko aise publicity gimmick mein daal sakti hain ...there is just no way of me and Bua agreeing with you...(Swamini was staring at her ...she was relieved but still was annoyed at the way Maanvi was speaking. Although that was what Swamini also wanted to say but was not saying for some reason...And Even though Maanvi braved and put her POV in front of that lady ...Swamini could not gulp the entire thing in positive sense).

Sonali : (Stumbled by Maanvi's speech) Whhaattt...Swam...Swamini ...How can she speak like this ...this to me??..to Sonali Kukreja.???...Swamini aise baatein karte hain kya tumharee NGO wale ???..to the sponsors...I came here with an offer and you and this girl...if don't agree with me...then better find a better sponsor for youself which you will never get...(Sonali leaves...from there ...giving looks to Maanvi)

Swamini was in shock of what happened now, she could not believe the most renowned female of the city was just shown door by Maanvi. She was still sulking imagining the conversation between Maanvi and Sonali and how she has just lost her chances of doing something..(What..okk ..secret for now) . On the other hand Maanvi was quite brimming with the happiness of her doing something right and finally a hope of being applauded by Bua.

Maanvi : Bua...aacha hua woh chali ..gayi ...Woh kaisi baat kar rahi thi aapse ...Dont worry haamein isse aache sponsors mil jayenge ...

Swamini : (interrupting Maanvi..in a harsh tone) Maaannnviii...tumhari problem kya hain ...(Maanvi shocked)...Hum baat kar rahe the naa unse ..tumhe beech mein bolne ki kya zarroorat thi... Jab hum sab kuch deal kar rahe the ..to tumne kiske permission se unse aise baat kiya...Tumhe main jab bhi mauka deti hoon tabhi tum kuch na kuch galti karti ho aur ...haamare khaandaan ka naam kharab karti..Aakhir tum chahati kya ho Maanvi...(Maanvi was about to cry)

Viraat was getting down the stairs and saw Maanvi's state and got worried and went there to know what's the matter...

Viraat : (Checking on Maanvi and asking Bua) Kya hua Bua ...kya baat hain ...Aur woh lady kaun thi jo thodi der pehele chilla rahi thi...??

Swamini : Yeh tum apne iss dost Maanvi se hi pooch lo ..woh shayad tumhe behtar samjha dengi ..waise bhi ..tumhe iski baato ki jyaada fikar hain...Better ask her...

Viraat : Bua aap aise kyun bol rahi hain ...Kya hua?? ( He knew Maanvi will never do something to hurt anyone)

Swamini tell everything to Viraat and for obvious reasons he to sided with Maanvi for the cause hence disappointing Swamini again.

Swamini : Hamein pata tha ..tum isse hi support korege ...(disgust look)

Viraat : Uuff ohh Bua (trying to control the situation)...Aapkyun itna gussa ho rahi hain ..Aapko bhi pata hain woh lady jo bhi kahe rahi thi ...woh galat tha...Aap khud bhi manna nai chahati thi right ...to phir agar Maanvi ne usse bhaga diya to isme problem kya..hain .Ek sponsor gaya hain to dusra aa jayega ...Why to worry so much ...Bua just chill ..Kuch na kuch hum zarror karenge ...

Swamini : Viraat hum chill nai kar sakte...Khass kar iss mamle mein ...this was important for us...Hum sabke liye yeh zarroori tha...Viraat hum yeh nai kahe rahe hain ki jo Maanvi ne kaha woh galat tha ..but uska tarika galat tha...usse insab mein parne ki zarrorat hi nai thi. ..main sab kuch handle kar leti...Par isne aake sab biggar ..diya..(looking at Maanvi now) ..Maanvi tum har baar sab kuch bigaar kyun deti ho???? (Maanvi was upset with what Bua was saying ..but finally she thought a way out)

Maanvi : Bua I m sorry ...Mujhe nai pata tha ki ...woh meeting aapke liye itni zarrori thi...Maine bas yeh dekha ki woh ...aapse bahut gandi tareeke se bol rahi thi ...aur mujhese chup raha nai gaya ...I m so sorry for what I did...

Swamini : Tumhare humse sorry bolne se kya hoga ..Kya Sonali ji vappis aa jayengii ...nahi ..na...Isiliye ...(Maanvi interrupts bua)

Maanvi : Isiliye ...Bua main unse Maafi mangna chahati ...hoon ...Believe me bua mera intention aapko hurt karne ka nai tha...Aur na hi mujhe idea tha ki ..yeh meeting aapke liye itna Important hain...I m sorry aur main apni galti sudharna chahati hoon..please bua mujhe ek chance di jiye ..I promise main sab kuch thik kar dungi...

Swamini was surprised at what Maanvi was saying and was probably also feeling happy that she wont have to meet Sonali again .

Swamini : Okk ...agar tum kahe rahi ho to hum try karte hain ..but please iss baar koi galti mat karna..

Maanvi : God swear bua ...Bilkul nai (with a fade smile)

Viraat was constantly staring at her ...and was feeling proud of his love Maanvi and her presence of mind and respect for all.

Swamini calls up Sonali then and there ..and they have a mediocre conversation .but it had a suspicious expression on Swamini's face. She came back after a while to Maanvi and Viraat who were still waiting there for the next line of command.

Swamini : Maanvi maine unse baat kar liya hain ..woh tumse milne ko raazi hain ...But (Maanvi looks up again)...Iss baar Sonali tumse nai milegi...I mean usko kuch kaam hai woh city se bahr jaa rahi hain ...uske jagah tum uski sister Tanya se milogi..Actually yeh poora event Tanya hi supervise kar ne wali hain ...

Maanvi : (in head ) Ek Sonali rani kam thi jo ab ..Tanya ji bhi ...tapak gayi...ab pata nai woh kya drama karegi...

Maanvi : Okk Bua ...Main ready hoon ...I think mujhe abhi nikalna chahiye ...(tries to walk)

Viraat : Wait pehele address to lelo ..warna kisse milogi ...yeh koi blind date thodi hain...

Viraat's sentence annoys Swamini but she controls somehow...

Swamini : Haan maine address tumhe message kar diya hain .dekh lena Maanvi...

Maanvi says bye and was about to leave when Swamini stops her "Maanvi ruko...tum akeli nai jaogi...Viraat ko bhi leke jao.aapne saath"

Maanvi : Par bua Viraat ko to abhi producer se milne jaana hain ..woh mere saath kaise aa sakta hain...Main akele chale jaungi...

Swamini : Hum jaisa kahe rhe hain waisa karo...hamein koi excuse nai chahiye ...

Viraat : (All excited to have a chance to spend time with Maanvi) Haan bua kyun nai ...main ready ...main manage kar lunga...Aur waise bhi isne phir se koi hungama kiya to control karne ke liye koi to hona chahiye ...(He laughs it off)...

Swamini : (in a serious tone) Hum expect karte hain iss baar koi galti naa h Viraat isilye tumhe bhej rahe hain...(She leaves ..after the conversation)

Maanvi : Yeh kya kiya ...tumhare meeting ka kya hoga..?? (hits him on his arm)

Viraat : Yeh kyaa ...yahan main thode romantic moments spent karne ke plan bana raha hoon aur tum kisi unromantic se meeting ke baat beech mein laa rahi ..hoo ..Badi ajjeb hoo yaar...

Maanvi : Haan kyun ki woh unromantic meeting hi tumhe tumhare romantic album ko release karne mein help karega,,,Kya Jarrorat thi bua ko haa karne ki...

Viraat : Ufff oh meri Maa .tension mat lo I can manage ..hum pehele Music studio jayenge ...it wont take long there ..phir tumhari ..uss meeting wali Tanya se milenge and phir ...(moves closes and takes Maanvi's hand in his own)

Maanvi : (Moves back a li'l) Aur phir...

Viraat : Aur phir ...hum ludo khelenge ...Duffer...Har cheese bolke samjana hota hain kya ...Bas abhi chalo ...

Maanvi : Tumne duffer kise bola ...(Hits him on face lightly)

Viraat runs out of house and so does Maanvi and they get into the car and start for their works. Viraat's meeting was first sorted out ...The album was now almost finalised and meeting ended on good note. Soon Viraat's work was over and Both Viraat and Maanvi now headed to meet Sonali's younger sister Tanya.

Viraat and Maanvi soon reaches the destination where they were supposed to meet Tanya.

Viraat : Chale??

Maanvi : Quiet

Viraat : Kya hua...Maanvi suddenly mute mode mein kyun chali gayi ..nervous ho kya??
