MAJOR TYPO: In the last part it says that, Sunny is Three, he is not THREE... he's only ONE... I was talking about my friends brothers age, he's three, and I typed what i was speaking. Sorry for the confusion! Chapter_27
Tears wanted to come but dried in her eyes.when she remembered those words he said last night .."Tum mein or mujh mein koi ziada faraq nahi hai manvi bas yeh ke tumne kuch nahi paya or meine sab kuch kho dia.
Hum kabhi kabhi jazbaat mein aa kar itna ghalat kadam utha lete hein ke wo ek lamhe ki ghalti humein sari zindagi rulati hai..pachtane par majboor kar deti hai..ek chhoti si bhul zindagiyan barbaad kar deti hai..afsos ke hum chhah kar bhi us ghalti ko theek nahi kar patey bs uski talafi ki koshish karte rehte hein."
At last Tear drops, trickled, percolated and died on the parchment scrolls, the words thought became faint but etched in her heart. Word by word ,the breeze blew in and fluttered her hair ,the feelings ran deep ,the guilt had outpoured seeing the form of words of tht girl, the undying vows ,the impatient cravings ,the lament of a lonely soul and her exclusive imaginary happy world have been lost somewhere..the enveloped changed the surrounding around her...It had left her confession unanswered indirectly..or may be..It was the answer of her every question..
She was trying to survive against every torture of her fate on herself..After the last tear dried from her eyes, she pulled herself back. "Its fine..."
She simply nodded nd rubbed her eyes. When she thought everything was alright, she was finished crying,but her eyes filled again, and the tears slid down her cheeks again. She swiped the back of her hand on her cheek.she covered her mouth wd her both hands nd was unable to stop herself crying bitterly...
Virat came home after an hour or so..He went to her room..where she was sitting on the floor,lost in her thoughts,resting her head on her knees beside her bed.His knock on the door broke her thoughts..
Virat:Manvi..i..m sorry..wo actually..he stopped when found her like this..
Manvi stood up wdout looking at him she set her bed..unfold her blanket..pretending to be sleepy..
Virat addressed her again "hey princess naraz ho kya..? ok come i have brought delicious dinner for u..come"
Manvi sternly:"m not feeling hungry u go.."
Virat sat beside her on the bed.."what happen..?ok come wd me i'll tell u every thing where i was lost the whole day.."
Manvi thought looking into his eyes"u are still lost somewhere virat..u had been lost till the day u do tht sin.."He shook her..come dear i knw u have not eaten any thing..manvi refused again..but this time he became stubborn "look I can either tell you as a friend or I can order like a boss. You can pick.
Manvi:"Give me two minutes, I'll be there."
Virat "Oh thank God!" he said looking up at the ceiling. "You have two minutes exactly." Giving her hand a pat, he left her in there.
He was laying dinner when Manvi came there minutes later. And, he looked good doing it too, she noticed.
She thought now, for a man who never felt anything in real for her. Who played with her feeling, which she recently realized she had. Now that she watched virat moved around the dinning table.she thought, was there really..? For a second she did think about virat, until the letter flashed in front of her eyes. There was no such thing as an "ideal man." And, if there was one, the closest he got to was Virat vadhera near herself. a point more or less, maybe. Between all that, she laughed at herself that she was expecting from male creature,first sid nd now virat, Yup, it was that simple, she told herself walking towards virat, there were relationships, there were one-night stands, but there was no such thing as love that lasted. And, the first people to prove that were her own parents.
Absently, she walked to the dinning table, placing both her hands on a chair. She still seemed so lost, he thought placing a hand on hers to gain her attention. "Sit down." He pulled the chair out for her. "How are you feeling now?"
Manvi:Better.."
Virat:"oh good..
Virat while eating "actually director kapoor ki call aagae thi to mein unke pass chala gaya or wahan time ka kuch pata hi nahi chala..new movie ki shooting ki start parson hogi..so its time to get back to the work.." He felt so awkward when she didnt even looked at him as she had not listen to him..she finished her dinner and pulled out the letter from the pocket of her coat and placed them on the table. "I'm sorry I read it."
Virat curiously"What is it?" He pulled out the letter, from envelope..the visiting card fell down on the floor
..She didn't bother helping him pick it up, because he needed to do that himself. She saw the shock on his face, without a doubt, his face show that the letter for the first time arrived in so many years. He'd forgotten her, she thought sadly. There wasn't a thing like true love, it was true.
Virat"kab aaya?"
Manvi"Dont know may be 3days ago..i found it wd other letters"
He picked up the card his eyes were scanning it attentively..Manvi couldnt resist his attention to them more she stood up leaving..when he held her hand.
Virat:"There's a story behind everything, as there is one behind this one. I won't tell it now.
Manvi made her hand free slowly removing his hand by her other hand "I'm not intrested..It doesnt matter to me Mr.Vadhera"
Virat"I'll make sure this letter matters to you one day."
Manvi left wdout reply.
Manvi had completed wd her tasks..the schedule till next week has been completed..she kept the file in the breifcase.. ready to go back to the home after virat got free ..She sniffed,a deep breath passed fresh air to her lungs..But it was less to pass releif to heart cause of the fire that was burning inside her heart..
Virat finished off wd diector nd signaled him..manvi followed him to the car wd heavy steps thinking how relax he is behaving..nd talking to me like nothing have happened..is it realy not such a big matter for him..or he is not faulter..Her foot stopped thinking hr heart started beating fast..what if he is not faulter..what if it all nothing more than lie...i wish it would be.."
She followed him nd they drove..on the way virat wanted to talk to her about something but he again nd again stopped.
Manvi was curious about his behaviour..bt atlast on reaching home when manvi was leaving for her room he said it atlast..from behind..
"I'm going tomorrow morning..i mean... we r going..our team..,whole unit is going.."he said taking several gaps in his sentence.
Manvi shocked:"Where?"
Virat wd a short pause.. "Ooti..film ki shooting ke lie"
Manvi closed her eyes in disbeleif but then noded gulping a sip of patience as they both know the place belongs to jenny..now she underdstood the reason of his pauses..yet she replied calmly" ok i'll do my packing"
Virat:"No,i mean ..tum wahan ja ke kia karogi dont worry..i'll manage..wdout u."
Manvi confused bt shocked too"Kiyun?
Virat stoling his sight "wahan bohat thand hogi maanvi.there temprature is -1,tum beemaar hojaogi.."
Manvi looking straight into his eyes"Mujhe kuch nahi hoga..mein sath jaungi"
Virat:"whats wrong meine kaha na tum nahi jaogi..waha tumhara koi kaam nahi hai.."
Manvi argue again"kiun nahi hai kaam..or yahan ruk kar bhi kya karungi yahan kya kaam hai..?"
Virat:"Manvi.. Tum nahi jaogi.thats final.."
Manvi felt hurt listening such rude tone nd no princess or dear..its "Manvi" he addressed her..He was abt to leave bt her shatterd voice stopped him..
"Tum mujhe kiun lejana nahin chahte?"
Virat"Agar mein puchhun k tum kiun jaana chahti ho?"
Manvi "Mein isi waje se jana chahti hun jis waje se tum mujhe nahin le jana chahte.."!
Virat:"Her replied left him un answered..some time it happens
"Kuch na bhi kaha or keh bhi gaye..
Kuch kehte kehte reh bhi gaye!!"
The remaining conversation they did through eyes..nd manvi left for her room..While virat had sarcastic smile on his face..
On the way manvi asked " Why u cancelled that hotel i booked..i didnt know ur prefrence so..i...Virat didnt let hr complete n said carelessly "If u wanna stay at hotel so you may..but here is my Out house in Ooti.."
He than started talking to director on his phone. .
Manvi felt so hurt to gt his rude reply..dont know the words or his double meaning talk hurt her this much..his "HOUSE"
"Pack-up!"
The moment the photographer screamed the words, Manvi ran to Virat with a jacket. She herself, was wearing four layers under her coat, with gloves, boots, a scarf, and a beanie, yet she was freezing. Virat was dressed in a pair of jeans and a light sweatshirt that said DKNY across it, with glasses, and a head covered with snow.
It was there first shoot end in Ooti.. Manvi was still lost.. like she had been for the past 2 days, only think about the letter she had read and the girl in that letter.
What bothered her was that he'd forgotten about Jenny or he only came here for jenny.. Disgusted with herself, she asked herself, how could have he?
Was Virat really responsible? The question haunted her the entire night after he tried to stopped her came here The moment was so hard to wait what would be his next step as they directly reached to shoot from shimla,he had not let them home till then it was 9 at night.manvi thought looking at him as he continued talking to the other man. Virat finished the convo wd the man nd coming sat beside her..
Manvi was not in mood of chatting wd him..
"I think we should go home"
Virat"Ghar ja kr kya kareinge aisa krte hein kisi achhe se restraunt pe chalte hein..ermm ya food festival . . Wahan ka khana bht achha hota hai..
Manvi"kis ke sath,i mean kb aaye the yahan pe..i mean how do u knw k waha ka khana achha hota hai.."
Virat undrstood tht smthing is burning somewhere.. "JEALOUSY" was clearly visible on her face..
a.may be Maya.
Manvi"Mujhe ghr jana hai.."
Virat"ok naraz mat ho..koi baat nhi hum khana ghar pe mangwa lenge bt ya mangwayeinge wahin se"
Manvi was feeling fishy why he was not taking her to home...becoz of anyones presence there or..The thought made her shiver..
Once they were at their car virat turned to look at Manvi. It really surprised him when she walked past the car, lost in her own world.
"Manvi!" He waited for her to turn, but she didn't. "hey princess," he called again and watched her turn this time.
Shocked at herself, even slightly embarrassed, she walked back to the car. Then, without any eye contact or any words she sat in the car.
He saw she was upset. As strong as she was, it was difficult for her to hide her emotions, they way she felt. But, sadly, she wasn't the type of person who told you why she was upset, sad, angry.
She was, stubborn, he decided, looking at her, as she looked out the window of the car, dazed about one thing or the other, fiddling with her hands. Linking them together, then unlinking them. Her restlessness, as horrible as it was, made him smile. And, it even annoyed him a lil bit..Virat was passing sarcastic grin to her..however manvi knew his real motive to came Ooti.
Virat looked into her eyes through rare view mirror..
He smiled looking at her angelic face..he thought"it matters u manvi,it matters u..tum mano ya na mano..tumhari aankhein keh rahi hein k tumhein farak parta hai.."
Manvi to hrself:"Agar yeh sach mein jenny k pass ja raha hai to mujhse kehde mein khud hi dur chali jaungi.."
Virat:"Tum puchho gi manvi..i knw tum khud puchho gi"
Manvi:"Zaruri hai mein puchhun..kiun mera imtihaan le raha hai.."
Virat:"Jab tak tum khud nahi puchogi mein nahin bataunga.."
Manvi:"Kiun mera dil kehta hai k tum aisa nahi kar saktey..kbhi tum itna gentle behave krte ho or kbhi itne rude ho jate ho. ."
Virat:"Jo dil mein hai wo kehdo mujhse kiun chup ho"
Manvi"Mein tumse puchhna chahti hun lekin mujhe koi haq nahin"
Virat"tumhein pura haq hai manvi plz pucho"
Manvi"lekin..zaruri to nhi tum sach kaho,dil karta hai tum par yakeen kar lun..lekin"
Virat:"lekin tum puchogi nahi..mein tumhein khud bhi sab batana chahta hun manvi..kash tum puchho"
Manvi cleared her throat addressed him "Virat.."
Virat stopped the car "han..puchho"
Manvi confused"why u stopped the car..Kia puchun.."
Virat:"No i mean kya keh rahi ho tum"
Manvi:"Wo mujhe back seat se water bottle dena.."
He handed her water bottle as he started driving again..
They both felt embarrass . . .
She sneezed once again nd it was 9th time he replied "God bless u"
It was below one degrees in ooti by the time they reached his house, around an hour or so later. The second manvi stepped out of the car, first it was rain that fell on her like cold ice chips, then the rain turned into soft snow, turning her nose and cheeks red instantly. Her legs just might have to amputated, she thought as virat took her hand and ran towards the entrance, if she stayed out here for another second. It would be cold she knew very well, this was ooti you were taking about. This cold, however, she hadn't realized. She was already sneezing when they entered the warm lobby of the room.
Her sneezing stopped, midway, the moment she looked at what she was standing in. The floor beneath her very expensive boots was marble, and the ceiling above her head covered with snow was wood and water-blue glass and chandeliers. There were little plants everywhere, and comfortable sofa set, center pieced with real roses, and a cute little dining hall..
"Welcome to ooti, Sir. Here are your keys." One of the servant handed him the keys with a smile.
"Thank you," he took the keys and looked back at manvi. "Shall we go?" He asked her.
"Hmm? Oh." She snapped out quickly. "Sorry. It's just, its so beautiful."
"I know...but you have to go now.I mean u should take rest.."while the butlers brought their luggage.She climbed up few stairs when he said from behind "Tumhare lie left room arrange krwa dia hai..otherwise jis mein tum comfortable ho..Sab rooms KHALI hein.." Listening to his sentense her heart fiiled wd joy..unwillingly she smiled ..nd wished "Kash tumhare dil ka room b mere lie khali ho"
Manvi was feeling fresh after taking warm splash of water on her face..soon she realized her towel is missing..she came down stairs for her luggage when she saw him talking to someone on his cell phone.She went more close to listen..
"Nahi abhi possible nahi hai jenny," Manvi got froze on the place listening her name..he continued"dear plz try to undrstand mein aaj hi to aaya hun..ok abhi?..nahin..nahin tum mat aana yahan..Achha theek hai mein aa rha hun haan mein bs pohach raha hun theek hai. . . Achha suno sunny ko sath le kar aana..please! Bye take care"
Virat disconected the call smilingly..
He turned manvi pretend tht she has just cm nd not listen to any thing..
Virat "tumhein jo khana ho order kr dena phone book waha rakhi hai..I have keys,Tum so jana mera wait mat karna mujhe aaney mein dair hojayegi..Good night"
Saying this he left closing the door behind him..Manvi sat on the stair where she was standing totaly shattered,scattered,senseless..Eyes hopeless filled wd tears..
In a big hallway of beautiful hotel nd also Shopping Mall, he was sitting in the cafe..He lift him up in his arms wd so much heavy heart..His touch was so familier ofcourse it was attraction of blood..he was same like him ..he felt his reflection in his little little round eyes..He hitted his nose wd his nose..sunny was looking at him smilingly..playing wd virat's lips..Virat kissed his little fingers..he doesnt know how many kisses he has placed on his little face in last 1 hour..his nose,lips,eyes,forehead,chin,cheeks,neck,his little legs..he was touching his feet again nd again..His heart was not filling to love him..He was his son..son of Vadhera's..He hugged him so tight in his arms..squeezing him..he began to cry in his embrace..She instantly took him back in her lap..Moving him up nd down rubbing his back..chup hojao sunny..
She..who was watching all this from lil bit far..how virat was longing for his son..he could only listen to her voice..the lady was sitting as showing her back to manvi..manvi wanted to see her face..sunny was crying so louder tht virat was even loving his crying..She stood up to let him quite..Manvi was about to leave but ..but ..world or the time just stopped around her when she saw her own sister Jevika ...Virat also stood up smilingly kept his one hand on little one year old sunny's head nd the other one was. Placed on jevika's shoulder..Ya it was his family..she thought..
