Aarav received the call and was shocked to hear his informer. He called him to give another information and it made him jump on his seat.

" sach bol raha hai? “ he confirmed, maybe he couldn't believe his informer even.

He sighed listening to him…

“Thik hai, tu mujhe us cafe mein hi mil. Main aata hoon. “ he said and disconnected the call.

He turned his head up and found Dushyant glaring on him.

"Kya hua Dushyant? “ he asked.

“Wo toh tu mujhe batayega. Ye sab chal kya raha hai Aarav? Kahan ja raha hai? “ he asked.

"ek kaam hai wo karne ja raha hoon. “ Aarav replied.

“Kaunsa kaam? Zara main bhi toh sunun! “ Dushyant asked.

Aarav kept his hand on his shoulder.

“Bahut zaroori kaam hai Dushyant. Wapas aakar sab bata dunga. “ he said, hoping that his friend would relieve him.

Dushyant looked at him carefully. Aarav looked tired, stressed and tensed. Dushyant wanted to ask the reason but he chose to be quiet. He let aarav go. Aarav thanked him and left the bureau hurriedly. Dushyant watched him until he disappeared from his view. He sighed deeply…

“Kuch toh hai jo aarav nahi bata raha hai. Kahin manvi se toh related nhi kuch! Aane do usko, ache se khabar lunga uski. “he thought and left as ACP called him.

Aarav reached the cafe. His informer was waiting for him. He sat opposite him and asked him to tell the matter.

“sir wo sandeep mehra ek bahut badi deal karne wala hai. Diamonds ki deal. “ he said.

Aarav was shocked. His informer further added…

"ye wahi diamonds hain jinki chori hui thi museum se display ke dauran. Par ye nahi pata deal kisse hone wali hai” he said.

"Aur arjun? “ aarav asked.

“Shayad wahi ye deal karne wala hai sir. Club Era mein.” he said.

“Kab hone wali hai ye deal? “ aarav asked.

"Kal hogi ye deal. Agar kuch aur pata chalega toh bataunga aapko. “ he replied.

Aarav nodded, and gave him some money, taking which the informer smiled and left the cafe. Aarav was left thoughtful…

“Kal! Kal hi toh manvi ki sagai hai. Aur uske baad shadi. Mujhe jaldi hi kuch karna hoga. “ he thought to himself and left for bureau.

RuVi home

Ruhana and Vineet were sitting on the couch. They seemed worried about something. He glanced at Ruhana…

“Ruhana, i wish maine tab Sandeep ji se favor na maanga hota. “ he said.

She glanced at him…

“Maine tumhe mana kiya tha vineet. Hamari saafgoi(simplicity) ka acha fayda uthaya unhone. “ she said.

Vineet sighed as a past memory flashed in their mind.

*Flashback Begins*

It was the time when Vineet and Ruhana were happy along with Manvi. Manvi had entered the college and had some dreams in her eyes. She used to talk about it to her mother.

At times, they had financial problems,but it never broke them apart. They didn't let Manvi suffer. It was then when Manvi had applied for the police force and she had got selected. They were elated.

Manvi was excited..

“Wow! It's going to be fun! “ she chuckled.

Ruhana smiled… “Haan! Lekin tu akele kaise rahegi? “she asked.

“uffo mumma! Aapki mannu badi ho gayi hai. Wo sambhal legi sab! “she said.

Ruhana smiled…

“Han bahut badi ho gayi meri Mannu! Itni ki ab bhi main na jagaun toh subah jaagti nahi. “ she said.

Manvi chuckles and hugs her…

“Ab kya karun! Aap lucky ho na mere liye! Isliye jab tak aapko dekh nahi leti, aapki aawaz nahi sun leti, din shuru nahi hota mera.” she said and kissed her cheek.

Ruhana pats her cheek… “Acha ji! Aisa hai kya? “ she asked.

Manvi giggles in reply and hugs her.

"Mumbai training center mein hi apply karna beta! “ vineet said.

“Wo toh dekhna padega papa. Don't worry. Main check karti hun yahin mile toh! “ manvi replied and moved to her room.

Being on a weak financial state, vineet sighed and looked at his wife.

“Vineet don't worry. Sab sort ho jayega! “ ruhana spoke.

“Kaise? Agar wo sheher se Baahar jayegi toh extra kharcha hoga. “he said.

They had to pay for her fees. And at the same time,Sandeep mehra entered in their life. He turned out to be Vineet's friend, who often forced him to join his business. Vineet took his help for some issues in name of money. Though Ruhana didn't have a good instinct about him but she knew they need financial help and therefore, she let vineet seek help from his friend.

Manvi and Arjun were good friends. And when Sandeep asked for Manvi's hand, Vineet couldn't deny. This is how it led to Manvi and Arjun’s wedding.

*Flashback ends*

"Tab mujhe laga sab thik hai. Lekin ab mujhe lagta hai i did wrong. Mannu khush nahi rahegi. “ he said tearily.

" thik laga aapko! “ a masculine voice reached their ears.

“Tum! Ab kyun aaye ho? “ Vineet asked angrily.

It was noone but Aarav, and he said something that shocked both Ruhana and Vineet.
