Aarav's home

Aarav's phone ranged, he picked up the call and he was shocked hearing it.. "What?" he nearly shouted.

Ahana's and Shalini's attention went towards him. He disconnected the call, Ahana saw his tensed face and asked "kya hua Aarav?"

Aarav looked at her for a second.. And revealed "Manvi.. Virat se milne gyi thi accident hospital mein hai.." his words and sentence was broken.

Ahana was horrified hearing this. She panicked "meri mannu hospital mein.. Kaisi hai wo??"

"I don't know Ahana... humhe hospital jaana hoga" he said.

They left for the hospital. Within 20 minutes, they reached the hospital. Ahana rushed to reception and asked "accident case? Manvi.. Ek ladki.."

"ICU 2 straight.." the person said.

Ahana ran towards the ICU, she stopped when her eyes fell on Virat who was standing in front of the ICU. The tension, love, care for Manvi was visible on Ahana's face. She glanced at him and asked "kaise hai wo?? Ye sab.."

Virat looked at her with teary eyes, fear, love was visible in his eyes. He was silent and in guilt, as due to his call. She had a major accident.

"Ek baat yaad rakhna Virat.. Agar manvi ko kuch bhi hua na.. Toh main tumhe zinda nahi chodungi.." Ahana said angrily as she considered him the culprit of Manvi's condition.

Just then the doctor comes out of ICU, Aarav questioned "Doctor how is Manvi??"

"We are trying our best to save her, but she is really critical khoon bahut zyada bah chuka hai.." the doctor informed and left.

Ahana was taken aback hearing this, Aarav gave her support by holding her by shoulder.. "Ahana sambhala khudko.."

Tears slipped down her eyes, she glanced at Manvi who was fighting in between life and death. She closed her eyes and kept her head on Aarav's chest.

"Meri mannu.. Kyun jaane diya tumne usko Virat se milne.." she complained.

"Kuch nahi hoga manvi ko.." he assured her but he himself was not sure about Manvi's condition. He was being strong, not letting his tears flowed down.

The doctors gave her jerks, she bounced a few times. Ahana, Aarav and Virat looked through the glass window with every second their heartbeat was rising.

Virat placed his hand on the glass wall, which was still red covered in Manvi's blood. He was in pain seeing her critical.

Ahana saw doctor's removing the equipment from her, she marched inside and asked "ye kya kar rahe hai aap?"

Doctor said with heavy words "sorry mam.. She is not responding.. We tried our best"

Ahana gave unbelievable look, Aarav and Virat came in. Ahana rushed to Manvi and held her hand.. "Mannu uth.. Dekh mujhe aisa mazak pasand nahi hai.." tears were brimming down her eyes seeing her sister lying motionless in front of her.

Aarav held Ahana, she looked at him and asked in broken tone "kaho isse utho.." she cried out.

She glanced at Virat, who was standing there still. She moved to him and slapped him "kaha le aaye tum ise Virat... you ruined everything.. Proved me wrong tum meri zindagi ki sabse badi galti ho" she shouted at him.

Virat was listening to her silently, he eyed at Manvi who was lying motionless. He moved to her, Ahana tried to stop him but Aarav held her hand.

He sat down on the stood which was beside Manvi with thud. Drips were still attached to her body. He grabbed her hand in his hands with tears rolling down his eyes.

He said in teary tone.. "Tum nahi jaa sakti ho aise manvi.. You can't let me loose mujhe harne ki aadat nahi hai... sunna tumne.."

He started remembering the memories, time he had spent with her. "Thik se toh maine tumse abhi baatein bhi nahi ki.. Please mujhe itni badi saza mat do meri galtiyon ki.. I promise kabhi tumpe nahi chillaunga main.. Will take care of you khudse bhi zyada zulmi pati hun na tumhara toh ye baat maanlo meri please.. " he just wished for a miracle to happen.

Manvi was not responding, he was angered.. "Dekho.. Mujhe majboor mat karo warna main phirse dant laga dunga tumhe.. Utho manvi itne der tak nahi sote hai.." he shouted at her.

Ahana was crying while hugging Aarav. Aarav's eyes were filled with tears by now. He just could not hold his emotions.

"Nahi.. jee paunga main tumhare bina Manvi.. Aadat ho gayi thi tumhari mujhe ghar pe khud saman tod deta hun main.. Office mein ghanto tumhare desk ko ghurta rehta hun.. Khana bhi nahi khaya jaata tumhare bina.. Utho please.. Don't go I promise khudko puri tarah se badal dunga main.. Please don't go.." he kept his head on her arm and began crying. He truly loves her, and it was seen in his words, the fear of losing her.

Aarav felt Manvi's finger moving, he shouted "doctor.. Uski ungli hili abhi.."

Ahana and Virat looked with hope. Doctor asked nurse to prepare the injection and then gave her shock therapy. Finally, after a few trials the straight line on the monitor started moving.

"It is a miracle.. Pyar wapas le hi aata hai maut se ye abtak suna tha but aaj dekh bhi liya.." doctor said.

"She is out of danger now.. Jald hosh aa jayega" he exclaimed.

Ahana moved to Manvi, while Virat stepped back. Ahana kissed her forehead and closed her eyes.

Virat had a deep sigh of relief, he wanted to say something but stopped himself. Ahana won't forgive him for his deeds and he almost killed Manvi. It is better if he leaves from here. He moved out of the ICU with tears in his eyes.

Aarav followed him.. "Virat.. Ruko.."

But he kept walking, Aarav held his hand "ruko yaar.."

Virat turned.. "Let me go Aarav.. Ahana sahi kehti hai Manvi don't deserve me maine takleef ke alawa kuch nahi diya usko.. Aaj meri wajah se wo marr hi gayi thi.. Ab nahi dunga aur takleef khayal rakhna uska.. Choti choti baaton ka bura maan jaati hai yaar.. Galtiyan karti rehti hai.. Ahana ache se khayal rakhegi uska.. I am sorry for everything.." he apologized with deep guilt and care for Manvi.

"Manvi aankh kholegi toh tumhe dhundhegi? Kya kahunga main usse?" Aarav questioned.

Virat smiled "kah dena main wapas mumbai chala gaya.. Aur itna toh jaanta hun use.. She will say Ahana ne faisla liya hoga toh sahi hi hoga aur sahi hi hai mujhse door rahegi toh khush rahegi.." he said and left from there.

Ahana had heard their conversation. Aarav turned, he said.. "Galat kiya Ahana tumne.. Ye wo Virat nahi raha jise main ek saal pehle mila tha.. He is a changed man kahi tum apni zid ki wajah se apni behen ki masoomiyat na kho do wo hansa hi na bhool jaye."

He was angry with her, even after seeing how Virat brought her back to life, she was unaffected.

After few hours, Manvi opened her eyes. Her vision was blurry, she closed her eyes for a few seconds to get clear vision. She opened again, found Ahana and Aarav in front of her. She passed a week smile to them.

"Di.." she spoke in her lowest tone.

Ahana said with a smile and teary eyes "paagal.. Jaan hi nikal gayi thi meri.."

"Dida.. itni jaldi mujhse chutkara nahi milega aapko." she said in her dramatic tone.

Ahana sighed... Manvi looked around by rolling her eyes to every corner. Her eyes were searching for one person but he was not there.

"Virat kaha hai..?" she asked.

"Wo mumbai chala gaya wapas.." Aarav informed.

Manvi smiled.."acha hua chale gaye.. Di ne soch samajhke hi unhe mujhse door kiya hoga.. Haina di?" she said.

Ahana nodded with just a smile. She glanced at Aarav who gave her an annoyed look.

"Tum aaram karo.." Ahana said caressing her head.
