Recap
Manvi is back in Rishikesh and Virat is confused as to what he is feeling for her. Both Viren and Jeevika have understood that Virat is in love with Manvi. Swamini Bua is planning to call off the wedding.
Part 14
Virat woke up next morning after hearing Jeevika calling out to him. "Virat..Virat..darwasa kolo..."..He jumped out of the bed and quickly opened the door. "Good morning bhabi".."meri pyaari devar..it is almost good afternoon now"...Virat looked shocked. Then he turned around to check the time..it was almost 11.30. "Oh no Bhabi..I'm sorry..I don't know why..".."Actualy dadaji bohoth gusseme thi...I was coming to wake you up, but had to wait until they left"..Jeevika came inside the room and kept his breakfast on the table. "Bhabi aap duniyaki best babhi hai"..."ha ha tike tike...Virat have a quick shower and have your breakfast oki..." she left closing the door behind her. Virat didn't even look at his food, he rushed to look at his phone. 10 missed calls...5 messages..he couldn't stop smiling. "Manvi..she must be pretty mad by now"...he thought. But once he checked them out he was disappointed. They were from his friends and from his bhai. There was no missed call or message from Manvi. Now it was his turn to be mad. It was 11.30 and she hadn't even called him once. She should have at least called to check if he was awake. "Tike Manvi..even I won't call you 😡"..he dumped his phone on the bed and went to take a shower. While having his breakfast his eyes were constantly focused on the phone. Still there was no call from Manvi. Finally after breakfast he couldn't wait anymore. He decided to call her and blast her for not calling him the whole morning. "Half the day has almost passed and she didn't even remember me once"..he was angry and disappointed at the same time. He called her..the phone kept ringing but there was no answer...he tried several times.."Pick up the phone Manvi.."..he kept saying...but still there was no response. Suddenly his phone started ringing..he quickly answered thinking it was Manvi. "Hello..Ma...".."Hi Virat"...Tanya ..."Ha Tanya...".."Hey Virat any problem...you sound upset!!!"..."Um Tanya can I call you back?"..."It's cool Virat, just wanted to remind you that the whole gang will be meeting later in the evening..so.."...Virat looked at the mirror. He really did look upset. But why?? Because Manvi hadn't called him today.. It was not Manvi's responsibility to call him everyday and they were not even..But after yesterday Virat felt that there was something between them...her concern for him while he was leaving...did he just imagine that? If she was so concerned about him why hadn't she called him up...😡
Virat heard a knock on his door. It was Jeevika again. "Virat did you have breakfast?"...Virat just nodded his head. Jeevika understood at once that Virat was upset over something. She saw him staring at his phone. "Virat..any problem".."No bhabhi..actually yeh Ma...nope nothing bhabi.."..Jeevika thought it would be best to leave him alone. She picked up the tray and turned to leave. "Oh Virat I almost forgot, your friend Aman called..said your phone was unreachable..he asked me to remind you about the get together in the evening.."..with that she left the room. "oki Manvi that's it...I'm not going to wait for your calls anymore..anyways who cares if you call me or not.."..he thought angrily and left.
Virat reached office and headed towards Viren's cabin. Suddenly he remembered something and turned towards Dadaji's cabin. He knocked. "Come in"..Virat entered. Dadaji was surprised to see Virat at that time and his face turned form surprise to disgust remembering that Virat was not there at the breakfast table in the morning. Dadaji knew how Virat loved to disobey the rules always. "Virat..yaha?".."Ha dadaji actually.."..Virat walked towards Dadaji,"Dadaji please forgive me..yesterday I had to drive all th way to Rishikesh and back na, therefore I was tired and over slept. I'm sorry I couldn't wake up on time today Dadaji"..Dadaji was now even more shocked. Virat apologizing..no this can't be. Virat always thought that having breakfast at 8 was a stupid rule along with many silly rules set...but today. Dadaji didn't have the heart to be angry with him. "Tike beta..koi bath nahi..from next time wake up on time.."..and he smiled at Virat. Virat left soon afterwards and headed to meet Viren. He was surprised to see Dadaji's smile. It felt really good to see Dadaji smile at him after so long. He knew he apologized just for Manvi's sake. She had told him not to start any fights with his family members. "Thanx Manvi"..he thought.
"Bhai..may I come in"..Virat asked jokingly and went inside. Viren was surprised but pleased to see his brother. Jeevika had called him up and told him that Virat was moping in his bedroom. "Virat mere bhai..so so what bring you here ha??".."Actually bhai I just met dadaji and I thought of meeting you too.."..Viren was happy that Virat met Dadaji..or else he knew that there would be unpleasant incidents once they go home. "Actually Virat I wanted to discuss something with you...".."Ha bhai please go ahead"..."Actually day after tomorrow is Jeevika's birthday ..."..."kya..bhabhi ka birthday?...wow bhai sooo...any special plans ha??".."Actually Virat I had though of a surprise party at first but with naniji's death and everything, it won't be right"..."ha bhai..but you can give her a surprise na??".."Ha Virat...so bhai help me out yaar..you should ask Manvi too..I'm sure she will have some great ideas...call her as soon as you go home oki..".."Bhai please..I don't need Manvot help me think of something oki..I will come up with a super hit plan..and she doesn't have time to talk to us now..she has much more important work I think"...with that angry remark Virat left. "Oh ho..so this is the scene..so she is not answering your calls is it..my poor brother 😉"..thought Viren.
"Didi so have you thought of anything about Jeevika's birthday??"..asked Vanshika. The two ladies were busy discussing about the upcoming birthday of their bahu. They have all planned a big surprise party for Jeevika. "Nahi Vanshika..I don't know what to do. We can't go ahead with the party as planned"...Both of them were upset that they would not be able to celebrate Jeevika's birthday. Jeevika was very much loved by everyone and they all wanted to do something special for her. "Vanshika I really want to do something for her on that day...but it is not right to celebrate but I don't want to see her sad"..."Di..can you remember that anath ashram..Jeevika used to talk about it all the time...why don't we all go there and spend the day with the kids..".."Vanshika that is really a brilliant idea..I will ask bau ji and if he agrees we can make all the preparations".. Both of them knew how much Jeevika loved to spend time with these kids at the anath ashram, she would love this gift even more than a surprise party.
Virat quickly came back home. Manvi still hadn't called him back. He was in no mood to stay out. "Oki Manvi I'm going to call you one last time..but that's only because I want to talk about bhabhi's birthday.." He now tried the land line. It kept ringing for some time..finally someone picked up. "Namasthe"..."Hello..can I speak to Manvi??".."Aaap kon hai??...actually Manvi is not in..I'm preethi her neighbour speaking"..where could Manvi be at this time ; thought Virat. "I'm a friend of Manvi..it is a bit urgent. Do you know where she is??".."Nahi..I'm sorry..actually aaj aditya bhaiyaki janam din hai na..so usually Manvi doesn't stay at home..aditya bhaiyyaki mami papa have gone to the mandhir..or else I could have asked them.."..."No it's oki"...Virat hung up. "Manvi is this why you didn't call me up the whole day..today is Aditya's birthday. Virat knew how painful these days can be. Even after Maya ruined his life..still he missed her badly on her birthday..he remembered the wonderful times they spent together. And with Manvi it was totally different..Aditya never left her..he was taken away from her"..Virat wished that he could be there for her..he wanted to hold her hand..tell her that she was not alone. Virat felt like rushing to Rishikesh..but what if Manvi doesn't want company..she never mentioned Aditya's birthday to him...
"Virat baba"..he headr Tarun calling him. "Ha Tharun..andar aaja"..."Virat baba..yeh yeh..."..Tharun was stammering. It was as if he wanted to say something but couldn't say it. Virat saw that there was something in his hand. "Ha Tharun bol...aur yeh kya hai?"..."Virat baba..Manvi madamki kamre me yeh mila"..Tharun handed it over to Virat and left the room. It was a photo frame. Virat turned it around. One look at it...he felt himself boiling inside. It was a picture of Manvi and Aditya. Aditya was hugging her from behind...and she was smiling. That smile..Virat could do anything to see her smile..he looked around for the picture from their engagement. He kept the 2 pictures together..Manvi was clearly more happier with Aditya..she was smiling..her eyes were smiling.."Can't he Virat ever make her smile like this????"...he thought..Manvi looked shy, embarassed, awkward with him..."Virat what the hell is wrong with you man!!! How can you even compare the two pictures. You never wanted to take Aditya's place in Manvi's life...So why all this comparison.."...he put both pictures into the drawer.
Viren and Dadaji had returned home and all of them were having tea. "Bau ji...we need your permission for something..".."Ha Swamini beta..bolo.." Swamini told them Vanshika's idea...Jeevika couldn't stop smiling. Dadaji saw her smiling eyes and replied..."meri bahu kush ho tho mei bhi kush ho"..."Thank you dadaji...Ma buaji...thank you so much"...said Jeevika. Viren too looked happy. He knew that Jeevika would enjoy the day with those kids so much...but Viren had to plan a surprise for his wife. So far Virat and Manvi hadn't been helpful at all. "Dadaji..is it oki if I invite Manvi"..asked Jeevika. Swamini was almost about to make a remark when Dadaji replied "of course beta..ask Shankar to bring her to Chandighar tomorrow.."..."thank you thank you dadaji"...Jeevika looked so excited..just like a little girl waiting eagerly for her birthday. "Kithna mushkil se me Manvi ko yaha se Rishikesh wapas beja..phir se..."..thought Swamini gloomily. Jeevika followed Vanshika to her room. "Ma..."..Vanshika turned around. "Ha Jeevika kuch chaiyye?"...Jeevika hugged Vanshika tightly. "Ma..thank you so much for your wonderful gift ma... I will be sooo happy spending the day with those kids...when baghwan ji took my mother away I was angry at him...but back then I didn't know that he was planning to give my dossri ma soon..thank you ma"...Jeevika was now in tears. "Are bus bus..muje bhi rula diya...I knew that you will love it..after all ma hai thumara"...Jeevika left the room after giving another tight hug to Vanshika.
On her way to her room, she decided to give the good news to Virat. Manvi was coming to Chandighar. She knew that Virat would be so happy to hear it. The door was open..she went inside. Virat was no where to be seen. She looked around...where was the picture...Virat ki thara thasveer bhi missing thi...Jeevika looked around on his table, dresser everywhere. It wasn't there. Then she tried all the drawers. She was lucky the 2nd time. She found the picture inside the bed side drawer..she was almost closing the drawer when another picture caught her eye. She took it out. Her heart sunk. How did Virat get this picture. She quickly put both pictures back in the drawer before he came back and left quickly. Now she had to think twice before calling Manvi back to Chandighar.
Dadaji was going through some files in the study, but his mind was elsewhere. He was thinking about Virat. After returning from USA Virat had completely changed. He had no respect for anyone. If not for Viren, Jeevika and Vanshika, he would have kicked Virat out of the house long time back to teach him a lesson. His attitude worsened day by day. But today he had got a glimpse of the old Virat. The Virat who loved to play with his Dadaji, the Virat who considered him to be his papa after his real papa passed away, the Virat who waited eagerly every day for his Dadaji to return from work...Dadaji felt his eyes tearing up. He knew this was Manvi's doing. He just knew..he felt that this girl would give him back his old grandson...that's why he wanted her to come back to Chandighar. He felt that his daughter was against Manvi for some reason...but he was going to try to change her mind. He opened his desk drawer and took out a picture..It was quite old..it was taken when Virat was 5. Virat was seated on his shoulders..with a wide smile. "kush raho mere bachcha..hamesha.."..he said touching the photograph.
Virat's phone was ringing continuously. Once it was Tanya, then Aman...they had planned this night out long time back. It was Virat's idea to start with. All their college friends together...it was more like a drinking night out. Virat never missed those..that's how he got over Maya..by drowning his sorrows in alcohol. But today he couldn't think of any party..any one...he was just thinking about Manvi. It was almost night now...but still there was no call from Manvi. She had gone out alone..she should have returned by now...Virat was dead worried for her, at the same time sad that she hadn't shared her sorrow with him. On top of that he couldn't stop thinking about the photograph that was lying in his drawer at the moment. He just kept lying one the bed...ignoring all the calls and texts.
Jeevika was brushing her hair...but she was thinking about the two pictures in Virat's drawer. She knew he loved Manvi..and she knew that right now how much he would be hurting inside. Viren snapped his fingers in front of her..."hey Fikhar Minister Ji...kya hua"..."Viren ji...aap...sorry..I was"...Jeevika stood up. "Ha ha...I know..you are worried about something...Jeevika...chor do na...hmmm...tho bolo..aapko kya chayye.."..he said hugging her..."Viren ji..muje kuch nahi chayye..aap hai na..yeh kafi hai..."..she said smiling. "Jeevika..I know why you asked permission to invite Manvi..that was really sweet. I'm sure Virat would be happy"...Jeevika looked glum."Viren ji..."...Now it was Viren's turn to look worried. He listened to Jeevika's story about the photographs. "I don't know if I should invite Manvi..."..."Nahi Jeevika don't think like that..of course you should invite her...how can they sort out their differences if they stay away from each other...don't worry..everything will be oki...and do you know that Virat didn't even go for that party today, you know he never miss those...Manvi is changing him Jeevika and I'm sure he will change her too"...
The topic at the dining table was Jeevika's birthday. Swamini, Vanshika and Jeevika had started preparations already. Jeevika decided to buy toys for the kids after Manvi arrived in Chandighar. Even Dadaji was in an exceptionally good mood. Therefore when Virat excused himself from dinner saying that he was not feeling well, Dadaji made no objection. Jeevika looked worried..but Viren gave her an assuring smile. "Jeevika call Manvi tomorrow morning and tell her that Shankar will come to pick her up..I will also call Madan"..."Ji Dadaji.."..They all decided to call it a night as they had so much work to do the next day.
It was almost midnight now...he had called Manvi several times but there was no response. He called home and he had got to know that Manvi was still not at home. He was getting more worried. His eyes shifted to his vehicle keys several time. He was getting restless by the second. Finally he couldn't do it anymore. He had to see her...he would go crazy...he checked the time.. 12:00..He stood up and reached for the keys. Suddenly his phone started ringing. He looked at the screen. "Manvi"...he was so eager to talk to her...but something held him back.. It rang for sometime...he just kept staring at the screen..."Hello..." he answered...
"Hello Virat"...after that there was silence. Neither Virat nor Manvi knew what to say. "Virat..you called before...".."Manvi kaha thi thum?...do you know what time it is..do you even know how worried I was...aapki phone kaha thi??"..."Virat...Virat..aaj...aaj..aap nahi"..."Oh shut up Manvi..I know..ha aaj Aditya ki birthday hai..tho?? oki fine..even if you wanted to go out...why didn't you answer my calls?? damn it Manvi..."..."Virat why are you so mad?...If you know that today is Aditya's birthday..why do you keep asking me questions..I left my phone at home beacuse I don't want anyone to disturb me today...I just wanted to spend the whole day with my Aditya..do you get it Virat...and who are you to yell at me??"..No Manvi was even madder than Virat. Virat couldn't hear anything else..."I just wanted to spend the whole day with my Aditya"...he didn't want to hear anything else. He disconnected the call.
Manvi threw away her phone. She was now crying. She couldn't bear to hear Virat's angry words. Only she knew why she left her phone at home today. True she didn't want anyone to disturb her. But that anyone was Virat..she didn't want to tell him where she was going...she felt he would be hurt. There was no logical reason for not telling him...but there was no logical reason for a lot of things she was feeling these days. This day always brought back old memories..she always preferred to stay alone on this day. But today she wanted Virat to be with her. She wanted to call him first thing in the morning..she wanted to ask him to come to Rishikesh...but she remembered Aditya saying that he only wanted to be with her on his birthday. It won't be right to drag Virat to all the places that she had to visit...she had thought. So she kept her phone at home..so that even if she wanted she wouldn't be able to call Virat. All day she had thought about him..if he woke up on time...if he ate on time..if he created any problems again...the day had been more difficult than ever. She was feeling guilty that she was thinking about Virat on this day...and finally even Virat had yelled at her...Virat couldn't believe that he spoke to Manvi in that manner. He was angry in the morning...but after knowing the reason he was just worried about her. He didn't know what made him say all those things to her. He didn't know that he was just trying to hide his feelings in the pretense of being angry at her. He was angry at himself for not being there for her when she most needed him...and he had made things worse by yelling at her.
Both Viren's and Jeevika's phones were ringing in the middle of the night. They woke up startled. "Virat..Manvi"..they said together. "Virat..."..."Bhai please muje urgently bath karni hai..".."ha Virat tike..me aajaungi"...Viren rushed out of the room. "Mannu..".."Jeevika di..I'm sorry di..ithni rathko ...di can I talk to you now..Viren bhaiyya??.."..."It's oki Mannu..nahi woh kamre me nahi hai..bolna.."...Manvi started crying. "Manvi..please math ro...aapki di hai na...me sub kuch tik karongi.."...Manvi then narrated to her the whole incident. Jeevika was listening to the story and was trying to hold back her own tears. "Di I wanted to tell Virat, but di I thought it will hurt him.. that's why..di did I do something wrong??"..."Manvi listen to me...please stop crying now. Virat was worried since morning. He must have been worried as you got late to come back and Manvi there is something else too"...then she told Manvi about the photograph. Manvi was shocked beyond belief..she hadn't even noticed that a picture was missing..and how did Virat have it...was he mad because of that??..."Manvi...meri bath sun...both of you have under gone a lot of stress today...especially you. Therefore don't think about it much...By the way I was anyway going to call you tomorrow. Dadaji asked me to send Shankhar over to Rishikesh tomorrow..he will be there at 10, be ready oki"..."Nahi di...Virat.."..."Manvi..don't worry oki..and day after tomorrow is my birthday..so..mere liye please..."..."Of course di..aapki janam din hai..me zaroor aungi"..."Oki Manvi..ab good girl ki thara so ja tike...Good night".."Thank you di...good night"...Viren entered the room at that moemt. Both Viren and Jeevika looked at each other with worried expressions. Neither one of them said anything. Jeevika cuddled up to Viren...both of them kept thinking until late. Viren was happy that his bhai was in love...but he was sad that Virat had to go through such a tough time. Jeevika was worried for Manvi as Jeevika knew soon Manvi was going to realise that she loves Virat and then Manvi would feel so guilty and how she would react, Jeevika didn't know...
Virat was thinking about the conversation with his bhai. "Virat you were wrong...why should you have a problem with Manvi saying that she wanted to spend this day only with Aditya...You said that this was a marriage of convenience for both of you. So why are you questioning her actions"...were Viren's words. "Seriously Virat why are you questioning her??"..he thought...He knew that Manvi would never forgive him after the way he spoke to her today. Should he call and apologize??...no..she must be still pretty mad at him. Manvi was still trying to digest the fact that Virat had a picture of Adi and her. She forgave him then and there for his rude behaviour. She had to apologize to him for her rude words...should she call him.."nope..not now..Virat.. let's meet tomorrow!!!!!!"..she managed to smile slightly.
Next Morning...
Soon Viren and Dadaji were off to work. Virat too joined them. Viren had clearly told him last night that he had to come with Viren tomorrow. Viren thought that this would be better to get his mind off everything for a bit. Virat was planning to help his bhai with the surprise for bhabhi.
In Rishikesh Manvi was packing her bags and getting everything ready in a hurry. She was singing...she was smiling...she was happy. Pinky smiled seeing Manvi dancing around. It was so good to see Manvi so excited to go back to Chandighar. Manvi wanted to meet Jeevika.. Vanshika ma...Viren bhaiyya...and more than anyone she wanted to meet Virat. She didn't want to be angry with him for long. He hadn't called her or messaged her...he must be still mad. "koi bath nahi hai Virat..mei aapko ese manaungi..you just wait..." she added with a wicked smile. Pinky noticed something...Manvi hadn't packed even one photograph. Pinky was having mixed feelings. She was happy that Manvi was accepting her new life...but sad that there might be nothing to keep Manvi attached to this house anymore..."beti tho hai...bidaai tho karni padegi.." she thought. Shankhar was right on time. "Good morning Manvi madam...Shankar reporting...".."Are good morning Shankhar bhaiyya...aapki biwi kesi hai??"...Shankar looked confused. He completely forgot that he had lied the previous time. "Meri biwi tho ek dum first class hai...kyu?"..Now it was Manvi's turn to be confused. "Last time aap muje chorne keliya nahi ayatha na..".."oooh woh tho Virat baba tho muje kaha..."..."Kya??"...😲 "Nahi nahi..madam hum chale..."..Manvi smiled to herself. So Virat did that on purpose ha..just so that he could drop her in Rishikesh. 😆 Soon Manvi was on her way to Chandighar.
Virat looked at his phone. Tanya had called him several times now. He finally answered. "Hello..".."Hello Virat..you are so bad oki...you completely forgot my birthday".."Tanya I'm really sorry yaar...Happy Birthday!!!..actually I was...".."It's oki Virat but I'll be waiting for you in the evening oki..."..."Ta..."..Tanya had already disconnected the call. "Kyu bhai..aaj Tanya ki birthday hai?"..."Ha bhai..actually aaj shyam ek party hai..you know..."..."Ha ha tho you are going right?"..."Nahi bhai meri mood nahi hai..."..."Look Virat..Tanya aapki achchi dost hai na...so is it right to not go for her birthday party??"...Virat was confused. He knew that his brother hated Tanya..but today he was asking Virat to go for her birthday party. "Bhai are you sure..I mean kal bhabhi ki birthday hai and...".."Virat you don't worry I'll handle everything at home. You go home early today and go for the party...actually I'll call Jeevika and inform her immediately that you won't be there for dinner today"...Virat just nodded his head. He was in no mood to party..Manvi hadn't call him..He still hadn't apologized to her...Tanya's party was the last thing on his mind.
Jeevika was continuously looking at the door.Vanshika saw this and laughed. Jeevika looked at her surprised. "Jeevika..don't worry Manvi ajaungi.."..."Nahi ma actually..".."Mei janti hu...mei janti hu..behen haina aapki"...just then they heard the sound of a car. Jeevika rushed to the door. It was Manvi..Manvi with her big smile and twinkling eyes. Jeevika rushed out and hugged her. "Mannu..."...Manvi was sooo happy to be back in Chandighar. Soon she was inside and was hugging Vanshika ma. Swamini decided to stay in her room. She didn't want to spoil her mood meeting this brat. Vanshika saw that the two girls already had started chatting..."Manvi kapre badalkar auo bachchi..."..."Ha Mannu..chalo..."Jeevika dragged her to her room. The girls didn't even feel the time flying and was shocked to see it was almost evening. Vanshika retired to her room to read a book, not wanting to disturb the girls. Jeevika didn't mention anything about Virat and Manvi didn't ask, though she kept on wondering where he was. Jeevika caught her looking around several times and smiled to herself. Viren ji had a plan and she was going to stick to it.
Manvi heard the door bell ringing. "Mannu please darwasa kolo...shayad Dadaji hongi"... requested Jeevika. Manvi rushed to the door..her hair flying everywhere. Her dupatta was almost removed..she didn't want to make Dadaji wait. She opened the door. 😲 Virat😲 Both of them were looking at each other shocked. Virat thought it was a dream. How can Manvi be in Chandighar. He blinked his eyes several times to make sure he was really seeing what he thought he was seeing. Manvi was too standing like a statue...oblivious to the fact that her hair was messed up and her dupatta was well almost on the floor. It was Shankhar who got the two of them back to reality. "Virat baba"...Virat quickly picked up the dupatta and placed it around her neck. Manvi quickly adjusted it. "Ha Shanka bol..".."Virat baba aaj rath party keliye.."..."Shankar aap andar jao..me badme..."...Virat quickly hushed him up. When Virat turned back to Manvi, she was trying to fix her hair. "How typical of her..all messed up"..he thought. Before either one could speak Jeevika came. "Virat...aap agayi.."..."Ha bhabhi..(aapki timing terrible hai bhabhi ; he thought )"..."Virat..Viren ji called me and told about the party..I will iron your clothes..you go and get dressed"...Vanshika heard this. "aaj koi party jai kya Virat?"..."Ha ha ma...aaj Virat ki bohoth achchi dost ki birthday party hai"...Jeevika answered before Virat could say anything. Now that Manvi was in Chandighar Virat didn't want to go out at all...no parties nothing..he just wanted to be with her. But bhabi was ruining everything. "Actually bhabhi..I thought of staying at home..".."..Ha ha..Viren ji told me everything. Ma he is trying to stay because tomorrow is my birthday..Virat nahi..you will go for that party and that's final"...Jeevika was enjoying the look on Virat's face. Virat looked at Manvi who lloked away angrily. She has come all the way form Rishikesh and he wanted to go for a party. Virat was sent to his room to get ready for the party. Jeevika saw Manvi moping around in a corner. She didn't have time to speak to Manvi as Dadaji arrived.
As Dadaji entered the house he felt a new energy. He knew that Manvi would have come. Manvi came running towards him and took his blessings. Dadaji was so happy to see her. "Dadaji.. Viren ji aapko kahana party ke bareme.."..asked Jeevika. "Ha ha beta..Manvi aren't you going to get ready for the party?"..."mei??..nahi dadaji..woh Virat ki dostki party hai..".."tho kya hua..aap tho Virat ki mangeththar haina..jao jao..."..with that Dadaji went to his room. Manvi didn't even get a chance to speak. Jeevika rushed her to the room and asked her to have a shower. "Manvi dress up nicely..Tanya ki birthday party hai"..and Jeevika went away. Jeevika wanted to make Manvi jealous by saying a girl's name. She didn't know that Manvi already had once spoken to Tanya and already hated her. "How can I not go for Tanya's birthday party...she must be expecting Virat na..hmmm..I will give her the shock of her life today..always trying cling on to Virat"...thought Manvi angrily.
Virat was done getting ready. He hadn't even looked at himself in the mirror. He was too depressed to do so. He knew that Manvi was here for bhabhi's birthday and tomorrow she will go back to Rishikesh. Tonight is the only chance that he will get to speak to her and apologize to her. He was determined not to got for the party. He walked in to the hall. Everyone except for Manvi and Swamini bua were gathered around making preparations for tomorrow. "Bhai..meri thabiyath kuch tike nahi hai..so I decided to stay at home"..said Virat. Before Viren could answer..it was Dadaji who replied. "Achcha Virat..koi bath nahi..aapki health saada important haina...Jeevika beta aap Manvi ko kahiye..bichari thayyar hone gaya hai na??".."Ha dadaji..mei abhi jaakar.."..."kya..babhi..is Manvi coming with me??"..."Ha Virat aap nahi janthi thi??..actually dadaji ne kaha...".."Ha Virat mei ne Manvi ko kaha..lekin aapki thabiyath karab haina...kya karu..".. "Virat think of an excuse dude..you cannot miss this chance!!!"..Virat thought to himself. "Nahi dadaji..nahi..actually Tanya meri bohoth achchi dost hai na..so I must go..."...Dadaji, Vanshika, Viren and Jeevika were all trying to hide their smiles. They knew that this would be Virat's reaction once he got to know that Manvi was coming with him. "But Virat...what about your health?" asked Viren winking at him. Virat gave him a "please bhai chup karo"...look.
Suddenly Jeevika looked up at the stairs. Virat followed her gaze. Manvi looked absolutely like an angel. She was dressed in a red salwar suit. Virat just kept staring and staring and staring at her. Manvi felt so self concious coming down the stairs as everyone was staring at her. Jeevika took her by her hand. "Mannuuu...you look sooo pretty..."..."Thank you di.."..."Tike devar ji..meri devrani ki kayal rakna..aaj tho especially"...Jeevika said jokingly to Virat. Viren went oustide to bring the car. Jeevika and Viren accompanied Manvi. Dadaji was happy to see them finally off. "meri plan kesi hai Mrs. Vadhera??"...asked Viren pulling Jeevika towards him. "Viren ji..aap tho really best match maker hai...aapki plans bhi first class hai!!!"...both of them went inside laughing.
Virat couldn't concentrate on driving the vehicle. He was constantly trying to look at Manvi. Manvi felt his eyes on her several times and felt herself blushing. "Thank god he can't see my face!!!"..she thought. Both of them still hadn't spoken about last night. Virat felt Manvi's hand so close to him. He couldn't stop himself. He slowly moved his hand towards her hand and held it. Manvi was surprised by his action. But didn't take her hand away. It was not really a romantic gesture. It was more like a forgive me partner gesture. Both of them needed it. Both of them looked at each other...and smiled.
"Tanya..please yaar..cut the cake now..it's getting late"..said Sheela. "Nahi Sheela...you know that I won't cut the cake without him...I know that he will be here"...Tanya was waiting eagerly for Virat. Suddenly Aman shouted out.."Tanya aagayi aapki raj kumar..I just saw his car pulling up to the drive way"...Tanya was so happy. She knew that Virat would come. She adjusted her dressed and checked out her hair. Everything was perfect. Right at that moment Virat walked in..looking so handsome and dashing in a black suit. "Virat..."..Tanya almost ran towards him when she noticed the person standing beside him. Manvi dressed in red looking gorgeous caught eye of many guys. Virat saw all the looks and quickly pulled her closer to him...Manvi smiled. It was almost as if Virat was jealous. But there was someone else burning with jealousy..Tanya. She couldn't believe that Virat dragged his fiancee to her birthday party!!!!! 😡
Precap
"Manvi"...Manvi suddenly shocked to see that Virat was awake, lost her balance and fell on to his bed.
It was 3:00 am and what was Manvi doing in his room???
