"tring tring"

watchman : nahi madam ji... office to kab ka band ho gya aur sahab toh pehle hi nikal gaye the...

manvi went out of the room and went to vanshika's room.
manvi : mom...
vanshika : yes honey...
manvi : did virat call you today...?? he isnt home yet...
vanshika : no he didnt... vikram...??

manvi : yes mom... i will go n check... goodnight...
vanshika : goodnight... but when virat comes, dont leave him... scold him... okk

manvi came back to her room and kept on calling virat but he didnt pick any of her calls and soon the phone was switched off...
manvi : switched off... where are u virat...??? aap kahan ho virat... mujhe bahut darr lag rha hai...
manvi was pacing right and left in her room with negative thoughts coming again and again in her mind and tears threatening to fall any minute... suddenly she was again and again thinking of the day she lost kushal... she was scared now... she was scared of losing virat... this time the loss would mean losing her soul, her husband, a friend, a philosopher, a guide and the father of her child...
manvi : no... stop manvi... stop thinking negative... virat aate hi honge... traffic mein phas gaye honge...
manvi switched on the tv thinking that it would help distract her mind but no... as she changed the channel, the news channels were showing a report on the car accident which happened yesterday night... manvi closed her eyes and changed the channel... she stopped on a music channel, but there was a sad song being played whose main idea was about how life is a punishment to live without the ones we love. manvi threw the remote on the floor and went into the balcony... her eyes were fixed on the gate of the bungalow in the hope that the watchman would soon open the gate for virat... she looked at it without even blinking her eyes... she desperately wanted to see him, to hear to his voice, she wanted him to be beside her...
manvi : virat aap jaldi aa jao... please... aaj tak apne kabhi aisa nahi kara... aap hamesha call karke ghar inform kar dete hain toh aaj kya hua... virat please call me and tell me you are fine... come back soon...
after half an hour manvi was disheartened... almost on the verge of breaking up into pieces, manvi turned to go back into the room when she heard the sound of the car horn. she turned around and smiled... it was virat's car... she didnt waste even a single second, and ran to the main door.
manvi opened the door even before virat parked the car and reched the main door. she was panting but now her heart was happy... relaxed...
virat : manvi...
virat worried on seeing manvi's condition... she looked miserable... her face was pale, hair tied up in a messy bun, she wasnt wearing her slippers, eyes watery and she was panting...
manvi immediately hugged virat... she wouldnt let him go... she cant afford to bear a loss in her life again... she broke into tears holding onto his shirt.
virat : manvi... what happened...??? are u okk...?? tell me manvi...
manvi composed herself and held virat's hand making her way to their room. virat was confused seeing this reaction...
as they enter their room, manvi left his hand and looked at him with eyes that were sp[eaking volumes. she went and sat on the corner of the bed.
virat tiptoed towards manvi and sit on his knees in front of manvi. virat held manvi's hands trying to soothe her but manvi asked him to sit on th bed instead.
virat sat on the bed looking at manvi trying to know the reason for her strange behavior.
manvi : kahan the aap...???
virat : woh... actually woh...
manvi : i am waiting... wait a minute... what happened to your forhead... ye chot...??
virat : actually i was returning home when my car broke down... so..
manvi : do u have any idea what i was going through...??? (looking straight into his eyes)
virat : manvi... i would have called you par mere phone ki battery dead ho gai thi...
manvi : i dont care... you should have tried other options to call us... you should have informed us virat... (holding his collar) why virat...??? kyun kia apne aisa...?? agar aapko kuch ho jata toh...??? jaante hai aap main kitna darr gayi thi... ( voice choking and tears falling) aapke phone bhi mil rahi tha.. fir switched off... kisi ko pta nahi tha aap kahan the... virat aap... (she hugged him)
virat was stunned... he never thought manvi would ever react like this...
virat : manvi its okk... i am back...
manvi : aap kahin nahi jaenge ab... kabhi nahi... you will never leave me virat... (breaking the hug)
manvi got up and brought the first aid box and started cleaning the wound and started dressing it.
virat : manvi... i am fine...
manvi : but i am not...
virat : look at me... tell me whats wrong manvi...??? you can share it with me... cmon...
manvi : i cant go through all of that again... i cant lose my everything again... (holding his hands in his) aap sirf kunal ka world hai... meri bhi duniya ho aap virat... aap mere pati ho... mera sab kuch... virat i cant lose... today a strange fear gripped my heart and made me believe that i would lose... and this fear made me realise something... virat main nahi jaanti aapke dil mein kya hai... par main... main aapke bina apni zindagi soch bhi nahi sakti... i love you virat... i really love you...
virat : manvi... manvi tell me you are not lying... tell me that whatever u said is just plain n simple truth...
manvi : yes... (nodding her head in positive) but i want to tell you something... something that no one knows except me... virat aap... aap hi mera pehla pyaar hai... i swear to god... i loved you from the very beginning... i never thought i would get over you... but as i met kushal... he was exactly what i always wished for... though you were the one who possessed me n my dreams... i wouldnt say that my love for kushal was a lie... because it was my reality... my beautiful reality of life... but it all shattered and came to an end... aur fir... fir hum dobara saath aaye... kismat humein saath le aai aur aaj kismat ne hi mujhe yeh ehsaas dilaya ke main kabhi aapko bhul nahi paungi... aapke bina jeene ka toh sawaal hi nahi utha... main marr jaati agar aapko kuch ho jata toh...
virat : manvi i love to you... main bhi tumse bahut pyaar karta hoon... bahut... nahi jaanta kab... kab tumse pyaar ho gya... but i never wanted to come in between you n kushal... i supressed my own feelings so that you two can have teh world you might have dreamed of...
manvi : virat... aap mujhse ek promise karoge...
virat : hmm...
manvi : promise me ke ab kuch galat nahi hoga... zindagi ab humein kabhi ruswaa nahi karegi... ab ye ruswai bardasht anhi hogi mujhse...
virat : i promise kabhi kuch galat nahi hoga... main hoon na tumhare liye... i am always there for you... my love will protect you manvi... nothing will ever go wrong...
manvi : thank u and i love you...
virat : love you too...
