Maanvi had been ignoring the voice-mails from a very long time now because she knew that what Riya was demanding was because of her love for her cousin, but it didn't matter to her anymore. Finally Riya got hold of her as Maanvi got sick of the voice-mails so decided to pick up.
Riya: Finally!!After leaving a billion messages, you decided to attend my call.
Manvi: I'm sorry Riya,I was busy.
Riya: Don't lie to me Mannu,I know you to well Remember we were best buddies once upon a time,when you woudn't ignore me.
Manvi: I know and I'm so sorry that I shut myself off but I don't feel like doing the things we did anymore. I don't know why.
Riya: It's okay hun.Your just going through a hard time from a very long time but trust me you'll learn to live your life very soon.Listen can you come to India for sometime. There is something you should know.
Maanvi: Riyaa, you know that's not possible. Visiting India without mum dad is something I can't do. They used to drag me to India to make me understand my culture but without them, all the memories will haunt me.Please...
Riya: I am asking you to come so that you can fulfill their wish, a dream that they dreamt of since you were born.
Manvi: What are you talking about?
Riya:*sigh*Come to India?
Manvi:I don't know. I'll see if I can book an off.
Riya:Sure.Take care.
Manvi: You too and hey, it was nice hearing your voice after so long.
Riya: Then hear it more often by attending my calls.lol,peace out.
After putting down the receiver, Manvi couldn't stop recalling old times. Her parents taking her to India every summer where they would stay at their Uncle's(Chachoo's) place.Riya and Manvi would be inseparable until the mishap took place and Manvi's life changed. It was a long time ago but the pain was still the same.
Rahul:Bua,don't even get me started on this girl,she was a psycho.And this is it.I am going back to Canada and you are not calling me back till next year to come see a girl and that's final.I have had enough.

Manvi's manager was amazed that manvi was asking for an off, who would come to work even with high fever. He granted her a leave without any issues. Manvi just packed a few items and decided and took the earliest flight possible to India.Manvi: Chachoo,forget it I m not marrying him and that's final.
Manav(Chachoo): How can you say that when I have told you it was your dad's wish and he had always wanted to get you married there since you were born. Now that they have finally sent the proposal, you can't just say no without any valid reasoning. Do you like someone?
Manvi: My dad lost all rights on me the day he left me all alone. I would have fulfilled his wish if he was with me today but not anymore. I will not marry a random guy just like that.
Manav: Manvi, watch your tongue. Do you even know what your saying. Your dad didn't leave you deliberately. It was faith. You act as if only you are In pain. I lost my brother, my guide, my bestfriend too.
Manvi: Please, You have a nice house,a perfect family. What do I have?
Chachoo,please I'm tired.I can't do this.
Suddenly she broke down and crying bitterly.
'I am sorry. I don't know whats wrong with me. I shoudn't misbehave with you,I know but I just can't live here. Each and every moment I spend here is torturous & I hate it here. I just miss old times and I want to go back Chachoo.I am exhausted.Help me.I want to go back to Canada'
Manav:Hey hey,its okay beta.Come here
He gave her a tight hug,letting her tears flow.He didn't stop her and she cried until she fell asleep in her Chachoo's lap.
The next few days were extremely brutal for Manvi. Chachi and Riya were trying their level best to convince Manvi but her reply was the same.Nothing was changing her mind.
Riya: You don't even wanna meet him once? Trust me, he's so damn cute,you'll regret later.
Manvi: No I won't.He's all yours if you think he's so cute.
Riya: Shut up, I beg you to meet him once. He has already seen your picture and he totally liked you, that's why they sent the proposal. Please, I request you.
Manvi:Riya,you know it won't change my opinion.I feel disgusted with the thought of any relationship, marriage is just too much for me.I can't deal with any relation anymore.
Riya:So what do you wanna do?Lock yourself in a room and live this life forever. I am fixing a meeting with him from your side,you better go.If you don't ,its going to be the end our relationship & this time from my side.
Manvi:but Riya'..
But Riya had already walked out.

Manvi suddenly looked up and realized he's here. She kept her phone on the table
Manvi:Have a seat.Would you like something to drink?
Rahul: wow,aren't these suppose to be my lines.*pause*ookay,well now that we are here to talk lets get going.I am sure you would want to know about me like every other typical arrange marriage scenario.
Manvi: No,I don't want to know anything. I am sorry,but I don't want to marry you.Actually...
Rahul:Oh I get it,you like someone else and you want me to refuse?
Manvi: No,i dont like some other guy! Look its complicated, things can never work out between us.Lets just forget we ever met and move on with our lives?I just came here because my cousin...
Rahul:Leave it,i have heard these stories many time,this is not my first time meeting a girl for marriage.Iits not like I was in love with you or something. Bua showed me your picture, I had no objection so I said yes but if you are not fine with it, go ahead. Do whatever suits your life. I appreciate that you told me & we are cool.
Manvi:Thankyou so much.
Rahul:No problem.I think I'm gonna get going,I have some pending chores.It was weird meeting you.
Rahul quickly grabbed his car keys and left the place leaving a satisfied Manvi.

Bua:but beta'

Bua hesitantly agreed and helped Rahul in his packing as his vacations were almost over.
Both went back to their respective lives,to Canada forgetting their awkward meeting and moving on.
