manvi : leave me right now...
virat : stop wasting your energy on useless things...
manvi : dont u dare n try come in between me and -

virat leaned on her and manvi tried getting away and suddenly virat tightened his hold on her...
manvi : please mujhe jaane do...
virat : kyun...??? ab mere paas rehna tumhe accha nahi lagta...
manvi : please...
virat : please manvi... for the sake old times... please dont do this to me... i feel as if i have been disowned...i want to belong to you... i love you...
manvi : viren.. i love him..

manvi : virat please dont spoil evrything... please dont destroy my future..
virat : your future...??? n you... (pointing at her) YOU spoiled my whole life... you did it manvi...
manvi : please lemme go... its my birthday today... viren is very happy... please i dont want to hurt me... please virat... please (almost in tears)
virat saw tears in manvi's eyes and left her hand. manvi was shocked on seeing virat's reaction and looked again at him because she never expected him to leave her hand that easily. manvi was about to leave when virat again held her hand n pulled her towards him. manvi looked in his eyes trying to figure out what was going on in his mind.
virat : happy birthday manvi...
manvi looked at him with thousand of questions in her eyes because she knew something was there that was bothering virat.
manvi : virat..
virat : last birthday yaad hai...
manvi suddenly felt a pang in her heart because now she knew how bad virat was feeling right now... his eyes were saying it all n surprisingly she could very well read it... manvi knew that now she had to comfort him and he really needs her. manvi freed her hand from his hold and hugged him and virat without even wasting a single second, wrapped his arms around her.
manvi : you need to move on... i know you love me but i cant come back... i cant... i cant think of anybody other than viren..
virat : but i love you... i still cannot bear anyone wishing you before me...
manvi was involuntarily dragged into the past which she thought she had forgotten...

virat : exactly my point... that is why i brought you here...

virat : toh actions are sufficient enough...

virat pulled her towards him and was about to kiss her when she put her finger on his lips...

** flashback ends **
virat : manvi i still love you...
manvi : virat please...
suddenly virat pushed her backwards n his eyes were red in rage..
virat : you dont love me... right...???
manvi was numb unable to answer back n again facing that old virat n his anger issues made her even more nervous...
manvi : woh... nahi..
virat : nahi karti na mujhse pyaar... nahin na...?? toh jaao... aur kabhi... i again say kabhi mujhse kuch expect mat karna... agar tum mujhse pyaar nahi karti toh main tumhare piche piche nahi aunga... par abhi abhi tumne mujhe console kia... do you realise it...??? haaww... mujhe hug kia... kyun...?? confused ho...??
manvi was at loss of words n this want the first time... whenever virat was angry, manvi could do nothing but listen to him...
virat : baby think over it n take your time... 9 days left...!!! 216 hours left...
manvi went out n saw viren looking for her in the whole party..
manvi : viren...
viren : where were you manna...?? i was looking for you... i was so scared... thank you i found you...
manvi : i was here only...
viren : come now lets cut the cake...
manvi : hmm...
viren took manvi to the center table n showed her the cake.
manvi who was already emotionally unstable, broke into tears. viren cupped her cheek and whispered " i said na no getting emotional today ". manvi hugged him and everybody smiled at the couple in front of them who was so much in love except one who was burning from within, burning to get his everything back, his manvi back.
