Virat was speaking to Pratap and Viren while Manvi was seated in between Pooja and Jeevika. Her cousins have already left as they were, like her busy with studies too. Manvi looked at Pooja and Jeevika, they were totally immersed in whatever they were speaking, she was happy but she was starting to feel bored. Her gaze moved to her, now officially announced fiancé and noticed him sliding away from Viren and her papa and walking out of the door, she wondered why he was sneaking out and her always present curiosity made her restless. But there was no way she could move without coming to either of their notice so she calmed and thought of a way to escape.
"Manvi, you were too late to introduce me to Pooja..."
"Haan haan... you two have found each other ab mujhe dato milke," Manvi pretended to be heartbroken making Pooja and Jeevika chuckle at her filmy act.
"Achcho Pooh, where is aunty and uncle?"
"They left early and asked me to call so that they will send the driver when I want to return home," Pooja was happy to have this time,
"Wah... I have to remember to thank aunty."
Pooja laughed and noticed Viren and Jeevika gazing at each other, and she didn't forget to signal Manvi,
"Oho... yahan toh nazaron se batein ho rahi hai..." Manvi nudged Jeevika and Jeevika blushed,
"Par di, you can go speak to him na..." Pooja proposed,
"Nahi baba... I can't what will all say?"
"They will say if only they see you two speaking," Manvi wanted to help them out too and this was a great chance for her to tease Viren.
"No... No tum log chup... arre Manvi..." Manvi walked towars Viren who was now looking here and there,
"Aha... What is going on haan? Engagement hui meri aur romance kisi aur khi... toh teasing bhi unki..." Swamini and Vanshika who were in the ear shot laughed making Viren's face flush,
"Manvi..."
"Kya Manvi... This is not done haan... why are you giving those looks to our poor Jeevika di, look how uncomfortable she is looking," Manvi was loud, Viren closed his eyes for a moment before dragging her to a corner, Manvi waved at Pooja and Jeevika, attracting many gazes,
"Manvi... sorry meri ma... I will never tease you again, ab toh chodo..."
"Uh hm.." Manvi shook her head,
"Please... tum meri pyari behena ho na..."
"Haan haan okay but only for now..." Manvi gave a fake sympathetic look and Viren frowned, "and come with me... I have to show you something very important" Manvi signaled Pooja and she nodded as Jeevika looked on confusedly,
Pooja and Manvi high fived each other as they locked the door from outside,
"Manvi you go I'll bring them two in few minutes, warna they will get suspicious," Pooja proposed standing in front Prakash's office room where Viren and Jeevika were... doing God knows what,
"Wah Pooja," Manvi patted her back,
"I know... I know... I have become smart now go..." Pooja pushed her away and Manvi walked towards the hall but changed her mind and walked out of the door searching for Virat,
The night sky shimmered with stars and the house resembled the sky, the garden was lit with flashy lights and the house looked alive with many relatives walking around, Manvi sighed deeply and looked over to the right side and her heart stopped beating for a moment when she saw Rohan standing opposite to Virat with an angry expression, she raised her skirt a bit upwards and tried to reach them as fast as possible with her high heel.
