“Ab btao kya hua? “ He asked.
“Kuch nahi. Bas yeh ehsaas hua ke meri feelings aapke liye wohi hai jo aapki mere liye.” Manvi smiled shyly.

“Tum Vineet ke sath bahut khush rahogi. I know it. “ He said.
Manvi gave him a tough glare. “ Tune jhoot kyun bola ke Vineet ka accident hua hai. Pata hai kitni darr gayi thi main. “ Manvi said.
“Mere jane ka waqt qareeb aa raha tha aur tum ho ke apni feelings ko naam hi nahi dena chahti thi. Isliye maine yeh sab kiya. “ Aarav said.
“Tum jaa rahe ho? “ Manvi asked shock.
“Yeh duniya meri nahi hai Manvi jaana toh padega na. “ Aarav replied
“Mat jao na. Aise hi mere sang raho. “ Manvi said with moist eyes.
“Nahi reh sakta. Kal is duniya pe akhri din hai mera. “Aarav said.
