Arrange Marriage (VM) IMP Note Pg 62 Must Read - Page 38

Maanvi couldn't just bring herself to believe what she saw. The man her family had vowed never to look back at, the man who had deceived them was standing in front of them with the same charm , the same authority, which he once enjoyed while being a member of Chaudhary family.

"How dare you come back?" Maanvi tried to not shout but managed to grab the attention of the guests and Viraat came running towards her.

"Baby, I.. " Maanvi didn't let the man complete his sentence, "Please LEAVE. Before I call the police and get you arrested for forcibly entering here, just LEAVE" Maanvi stressed on every word, grabbed her mother's hand and walked past the crowd not bothering about the thousand questions playing in their mind. Viraat handled the situation, asked every one to settle and looked out for Maanvi. All the questions playing basket ball in his head were enough to make him go off to a permanent coma. He was confused. He felt betrayed. Maanvi had secrets hidden. She was not the bubbly girl he had known since day 1 but had a fierce, dark side too which had been hiding for all these years. He wanted her to explain, tell him the reason behind her reaction, the relation of the man with the family. Viraat walked past Nisha ignoring her glares and hurried to Maanvi's room.

He dragged her outside while Maanvi, totally clueless about Viraat's intentions tried getting out of his grip. Viraat stopped near his car and made Maanvi stand facing him

"Who was he?" questioned Viraat still holding Maanvi by her arm.

"Viraat, that's none of your business. Please let me handle it all alone. Will let you know everything once its under control." assured Maanvi

Maanvi managed to free herself from Viraat's grip, "Sorry Viraat, this this isnt the right time yet. Please forgive me. I will tell you everything once I am comfortable." Knowing Maanvi's determined nature,Viraat walked closer to her, cupped her face in his hands and said, "Maanvi, I trust you. I know you won't do anything wrong. Feel comfortable to share anything at any time. "

"Jeeju, If you have finished your quota of talking to Di, can we take her?" chuckled Jia as she entered the room"

"Oh yes Jia", Viraat said while picking her up in his lap "your Di is always free for you my baby. I'll go and take care of other arrangements and you can talk to her."

Maanvi silently thanked Viraat for understanding her. She then looked at Jia who was unaware of anything happening in their family. She felt tears swell up in her eyes. Picking up Jia in her lap, she hugged her and spoke to herself "Jia, I love you. Please forgive me."

Maanvi entered her room and decided to sleep. She switched off all the lights and sat on her bed preparing herself to sleep when her phone rang.

A shocked Maanvi just managed to say,"But Its my wedding Sir, My mom won't allow me to move out of my house. Sorry but I cannot attend this meeting." The man sighed and said,"Then be ready to face demotion since you cannot handle personal and professional issues." This left Maanvi baffled. It was the first time in her career of being a GM that she was threatened. She wanted to discuss about it with Viraat but restricted herself from doing so since they had to meet tomorrow for their Engagement

Maanvi woke up at 4 AM in the morning, something she usually did when she was nervous and felt uneasy. A lot of issues were going on in her life. At one side she was happy getting engaged to a man like Viraat who understood her and on the other side two people were creating havoc in her life. She felt broken in to pieces. While she was enjoying every moment of being together with Viraat, she couldn't even think of how the man they had vowed to never look back at, was back in their lives. When reality hits you, it brings back all the pain and sufferings caused by the person. Maanvi decided to be strong and face all challenges life threw in front of her.

Sunaina asked Maanvi to freshen up and get ready. Maanvi got filled in with a new energy at the name of "Engagement". Her lime colour Lehenga was calling out for her. She felt proud at how smartly she had chosen Viraat's favourite colour for one of their best days.

Sunaina and Nisha were beaming with happiness now that both their children will enter a new phase of their life. Personally looking into all the arrangements, Sunaina was unaware of the call Maanvi had attended last night. Maanvi felt the right time to disclose about her meeting was after the engagement when all guests had left.

Sunaina welcomed all the guests for the engagement and Maanvi sneaked in from her window to catch a glimpse of Viraat. Both of them saw each other and couldnt take off their eyes off each other. Viraat looked handsome in a cream Sherwani and a red chunni and Maanvi looked no less than an angel for Viraat in her lime coloured lehenga. Unaware of their surroundings, both of them kept staring each other. Viraat winked at Maanvi and signaled that she was looking amazing. Maanvi blushed and ran away from the window.

Sunaina asked Jia to bring Maanvi downstairs for the engagement function. Jia and Ankur ran upstairs and called out for Maanvi. They quickly kissed her and asked her to come downstairs with them and Maanvi obliged.

Viraat who was talking to his family members saw Maanvi coming downstairs and he felt as if the whole world had blurred and it was only two of them there. He moved ahead totally unaware of his surroundings to hold Maanvi's hand. Maanvi though aware of every one standing near them, stretched her hand for Viraat to grab it. Viraat grabbed Maanvi by the waist and danced on [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=wjmoMhMZqWs[/YOUTUBE]

They exchanged rings after which Jia and Ankur came with a big poster in their hands. "Jeeju, Di, this is our gift for you on your engagement" said Jia while tearing off the paper revealing a Picture of Viraat and Maanvi clicked while they enjoyed at the fair a few days back. Both Viraat and Maanvi exchanged smiles and accepted the gift on which Jia had written, "To the most adorable Couple of the world!"

After the function, while the guests were busy enjoying food and talking to each other, Maanvi dragged Viraat in the garden. "Maanvi, what happened? Why did you bring me here?" asked a baffled Viraat

Taking a deep breath, Maanvi made Viraat sit and continued speaking, "Viraat, I wanted to tell you something and It is really very urgent. I cannot wait any further to discuss about it with you." "Please feel free to talk to me Maanvi" said Viraat while taking Maanvi's hand in his hands.

"Oh, How I wish I could stop you my doll! None the less, I wish you all the luck and will miss you a lot for all these days.. I so wish, I had a time machine" Viraat collected his tears for Manvi's happiness and hugged her.

"Will miss you a lot Viraat! Thanks a lot for all the good memories that I can take along with me" Maanvi tightened the hug and whispered into his ears!

"So is Miss Maanvi attending the meeting?" hushed to man to his assistant.

"Well, Sir, did you leave any option? She has no idea what this meeting will bring her to!" said his assistant while handing him a new set of files to go through.

"Ah! well, I know my doll. She loves surprises and so this one's surely going to be a grand surprise!" winked the man to his assistant and left the room.
