As per his mother's instructions, Aarav had left Manvi at the coaching center. Manvi got off the bike and just when Aarav was going to take his helmet again she said "Suno"

"Phooto apne muh se" he said pasting a fake smile and added.

"Dekho aaj" but before Manvi could say anything Aarav cut in between and said

"Aaj main koi shopping pe nahi aane wala samajhi, aaj meri bahot important meeting hai"

"Puri baat sun liya karo fir jaake ye apni itni badi chonch khola karo samjhe" she said.

"Haan toh bolo na bolne ke kya paise logi ab" he replied annoyingly.

"Dekho aaj ghar mein mehmaan aane wale hain na, tum hi ne bataya tha haina, toh mujhe time par lene aa jana" she said.

"Haan thik hai" Aarav said and left for his office.

Pooja received a call from Aarav, she picked it up.

"Haan Aaru"

"Maa vo Manvi ka number nahi lag raha hai, us se aaat ho toh kahiyega meri bahot important meeting hai main usay lene nahin aa paunga" he said in a go.

"Achha thik hai main bata dungi" Pooja said and disconnected the call. She too tried to call Manvi but her phone was unreachable.

The day passed and soon it was evening. Manvi was waiting at the coaching center but Aarav hadn't arrived yet. She called him but he didn't pick up. She thought he might be busy but he still didn't come up. Manvi had waited for more than half an hour still there was no sign of him.

The guests were there at the house. Pooja Nandini, Anoop and Karan welcomed the elderly woman.

"Arey Kaushalya Maasi ji aaiye na" said Nandini

They touched her feet and welcomed her inside. They all settled in the hall.

"Maasi ji kaisi hain aap? " asked Anoop.

"Main toh bilkul thik hun beta lekin tujhe kya ho gaya hai ye din pe din sookhte kyun jaa raha hai tu Anoop, Pooja bahu tera khayal nahi rakhti kya" she asked in a stern tone.

"Kuch zyada hi khayal rakhti hai maasi ji isliye ye haal hai" Anoop commented and Pooja glared at him.

"Vo Maasi ji ghee mana hai na inhein" Pooja tried to explain.

"Arey Pooja teri nai bahu kahan hai?" she asked

"Vo Maasi ji bas aati hogi" Pooja replied.

"Ye kya ghar mein mehmaan aaye hain aur teri bahu gayab hai" Kaushalya commented.

"Tab tak bete se mil leejiye Dadi" said Aarav with a smile, who had just entered the house. He stepped up to her and bent to touch her feet, he also gave her a warm hug.
