Chapter Twenty Three: Ariana Morelli

Maanvi smiled and dazed off whilst walking up the stairs, Viraat walked up to her and tapped her on the head. "Wake up sleepy!" He shouted in her ear.

Maanvi was startled, "What's your problem?"

"My wife is on the verge of sleep walking and you're telling me what's my problem? Silly girl."

"What-everrr," She emphasised. At this point she didn't care about Viraat calling her his wife, she was used to it. Maanvi blushed thinking about getting used to being his wife but then shook the idea out of her head.

"Listen, I've found out some information about the Mumbai house." He whispered.

Maanvi was hesitant, "What? Tell me!"

Viraat took her into his room ' the one he was in now ' by her arm. He locked the door and got out a piece of paper.

Ariana Morelli
Flat no. 101
Tennant(s)
Palak Malhotra: March 1990 ' November 1991

"What's this?" Maanvi asked.

"Records of anyone with the initial's P.M living at this flat address."

"But how are you sure that this is the same person?"

Viraat took out another paper which read:

Ariana Morelli
Flat no. 102
Tennant(s)
Mahinder and Jhanvi Chaudary: February 1989 ' November 1991

"Because your parents were also at this address, next door to Ms Palak Malhotra and strangely they left the same month as her."

Maanvi took the paper into her hands. "Meaning that she is definitely our P.M." She smiled and hugged the papers.

"Viraat! How did you do this?" She asked with a smile, tears forming around her eyes. Viraat looked down and wiped the tears before they fell out. "When Viraat is here, no need to fear!" He said grinning. Maanvi rolled her eyes and hugged him tight, "Thank you. Thank you so much!" Both of them closed their eyes and stayed motionless as they hugged each other.

Maanvi pulled away, realising that it was getting too passionate. With an awkward smile she told him, "Thank you." Viraat replied with a smile.

"We have to go to Mumbai and see Ariana Morelli," Viraat said to Maanvi, "She's the landlady for the past few years. Maybe she knows something about Ms Palak Malhotra."

Maanvi nodded, "I hope so. But Viraat how will we explain to your family that we're going to Mumbai? I'm not comfortable telling them about my story but what if they think something is wrong? I mean, us two alone in Mumbai, you know." Maanvi said nervously.

"Don't worry. I've told bhai that I'm meeting a few friends in Mumbai, and I've also said that you have to go to visit an aunt. They won't suspect anything. Nor say anything."

"Okay, thanks."

"Yaar, how many times will you thank me? I'm your husband, no need for thank you's." He teased.

"Oh shut up."

"So, mere dulhan,"

"Yes, my dulha?"

"I think we should start packing. The earlier we get there, the better."

Maanvi nodded, "You're right. Okay, I'll go and back."

"Okay."

Maanvi went out and came face to face with Jeevika, "Maanvi you here?" Pointing to Viraat's room.

"Oh, actually di, Viraat just told me to pack."

"Oh, to meet your aunt right? In Mumbai?"

Maanvi nodded, she really hated lying to Jeevika. "Urm, yes. Actually, Viraat was going somewhere in Mumbai and thought he'd drop me off."

"That's good of him, at least he took some responsibility!" She joked.

"Urm, yes."

"By the way Maanvi, you have to get me something!" Jeevika chirped.

"Urm, what?" She replied nervously.

"Hm, surprise me. Mumbai's atmosphere is something else, it's special so enjoy it okay?"

Enjoy it and that too with Viraat? Maanvi thought.

"Don't worry Di, I'll have fun. And I'll say hello to my aunt for you okay?" She lied.
