Manvi and Aarav were at the pool area, he was sitting on the floor and Manvi lying on his lap.

Manvi kept on staring at him and Aarav teased her with "Don't stare at me this much you will fall in love again"

Manvi smiles and replies "I also loved you once why would I love you again??" raising her eyebrows.

Aarav pretends to think something and says "really?? Then you should forget you then only you will start loving me again"

Manvi gets up and warms him "listen, Mr. Aarav Malhotra, nor I am going to forget you nor I will let you forget me"

Aarav pretends to be scared "oh I am so scared" and laughs..

Manvi gets an idea, she moves close to him. Aarav felt her intentions were not right "what are you up to sweetheart??" said sarcastically

Manvi was really close to him then he could fell her hear beat, Manvi placed her hands on his chest and pushed him back into the pool. Aarav drops into the pool with a thud. She starts to laugh at him naughtily, Aarav came out from the water shirtless, Manvi stares at him shockingly as he never looked so hot before. He smiles as he purposely removed his shirt he wanted to see Manvi's reaction on this..

He came near to her at the end of the pool edge where Manvi was standing, he shouts "Dad, Mom"

Manvi turns back and looks but does not find anyone before she could react anything Aarav had pulled her into the room.

Manvi comes out of the water and looks at him "you.." she throws water towards him and they both starts to play inside the water. 

Manvi whispers him "please wear your shirt, otherwise i won't be able to control myself"

Aarav smiles, he puts on his shirt back and then look at her, He lifts her in his his arms

Manvi shouts "put me down Aarav"

He drops her again into the water, Manvi gets mad at him for this move before she could react anything, Aarav grabs her hand and pulls her towards him, he kisses her on her wet lips and leaves her, and he whispers "I told you I will get it"

Manvi smiles shyly.. Then they hear a voice..

It was Vineet "I have been looking for both of you in whole house and you both are romancing in water"

Manvi looks at Aarav in anger gaze, and speaks up "no jiju, he pushed me into the water"

Aarav replies "but first you pushed me and then"

Manvi stops him with "jiju, we are coming in"

Vineet leaves the place.. Manvi speaks to Aarav "don't be over smart let's go"

They come out of the pool and enter into the house after changing, as soon as they enter inside the house they start to sneeze. Others were settled on the dining table to have lunch, Manvi and Aarav also sat along.

Manvi sneezed; Ruhana asked her "Why are you both sneezing??"

Vineet said "Roo, both were in the swimming pool at night 11 pm"

Neelam looked at Aarav and scolds him "Are you out of your mind Aarav?? Is this the time for swimming??"

Aarav replies "mom, at least don't scold me in front of my girlfriend and her family"

Manvi smiles seeing him getting scolded..

Ruhana looks at Manvi and says "Mannu, seriously you have gone mad"

Manvi looks at Aarav, who was smiling seeing her. Vineet interrupted "let it be Roo have dinner"

Manvi signs in relief; thanks to Vineet she was saved. After the dinner Aarav and his parents left to meet some other day to decide the engagement date.

Vineet pulled Manvi's ear and spoke "So, miss hunger striker all this getting angry not eating was all plan haan??"

Manvi bits her tongue "sorry, please leave my ear"and Vineet leaves her ear;

She turns to him and holds her ears apologizing.

Vineet smiled because the way she did was cute and innocent. He pats her head "okay, go to your room but never do it again"

Manvi smiles and walks to her room saying "if you don't become angry young man again I will not do it"

Ruhana giggles seeing this and goes to her room.

Manvi was inside her room she messaged Aarav "Thanks for everything, thanks for being in my life love you"

Within a minute she gets reply from him "love you too I am incomplete without you too"

She keeps her phone on bed side table and sleeps thinking about Aarav.

Present Time

Aarav speaks up "So that's how our family came together"

Arushi smiles at this "that is really awesome your one strike brought two families together"

Aarav looks at the time and speaks up "Well, it is 3 pm and I have urgent meeting with someone"

Arushi confused and says "but sir I am not done with my interview"

Aarav strictly tells her "Arushi I cannot delay the meeting with the person please I will see you tomorrow" he gets up and walks outside the cabin.

Arushi feels irritated "who is the so special, huh" she leaves the office and follows Aarav's car in an auto. The car enters into a society where autos are not allowed to enter. Arushi gets down and enters into the society.

She thinks "oh lord so many bungalows where did Aarav's sir car went"

She asked the guard "excuse me may I know the car just went where??"

The guard replies "I am sorry mam I cannot tell you"

Arushi thinks and smirks "nothing can be done without this" she takes out some money from her purse and gives the guard.

He quietly keeps it inside his pocket and tells her "bungalow no. 10"

Arushi smiles and moves inside the society. She reaches the bungalow but the watchman does not let her in, she looks at the name plate and gets surprised.. "Why he is here??" the question raised her mind. She left the place as watchman did not let her enter inside the house.

The next day she enters inside the office but finds Aarav's cabin lock.

The manager comes to her and says "sorry mam, Aarav sir said until he does not come no one should enter inside his cabin"

Arushi bits her tongue "I think for yesterday mess he made this rule, great Arushi congratulations" cursing herself.

After half an hour Aarav comes there and the peon opens the lock, both of them enter inside the cabin.

Arushi settles herself on the couch; Aarav sits opposite her and asked her "why were you following me yesterday??"

Arushi looked at him shockingly and replies "i.. i.."

Aarav warns her "you are here just for interview, don't be a spy"

Arushi nodes silently, she asked him "so, did engagement took place??"

Flashback

Neelam dialed Ruhana's number "hello Ruhana??"

Ruhana replied back "yes Neelamji"

Neelam comes to the point "well I have talked to the priest and he said day after tomorrow is the best day for the engagement"

Ruhana thinks and replies "alright Neelamji I will arrange everything"

Neelam answers back "don't worry!! Since we don't have much time we will take the work equally, you do the booking for the hall and I will arrange the catering"

Ruhana nodes "alright" and they disconnect the call after discussing some other things.

Manvi heard the conversation was excited for this; she went to her room and informed Aarav about it.

"That is good Manvi can we meet??" Aarav said

Manvi replied "no, now I will meet on engagement day bye" and disconnects the call.

Aarav smiles at her craziness.. "Don't worry Miss Manvi Oberai now you can torture me by not meeting you one day my turn will come and I will torture you so much that you will come running to me yourself"

At night

Ruhana was looking for some good hall for the engagement on the laptop, she spoke while looking at the screen "Vineet, how is this hall??"

Vineet replied without looking at the laptop "okay!!"

Ruhana looked at him and found him looking at her "I told you to look at the screen not at me!"

Vineet closed the laptop screen, Ruhana got irritated at his behavior "What?? Vineet we don't have time only one day is left for the engagement"

Vineet replies "I know Roo, relax I will go everything but now I want to talk to you something important"

Ruhana kept the laptop aside and looked at him "what??"

Vineet said "see, our Mannu kept this home rocking with her naughty tricks but after she will leave who will do that?"

Ruhana shakes her head "yes, you are right but what we can do?"

Vineet signs at her for not understanding what he is trying to say usually she understands everything really quick.

"Roo, I will miss my crime partner I need another crime partner" he explained

Ruhana smiles and spoke "don't worry! Manvi will come here often"

Vineet gets irritated and speaks "come on Roo, I am saying now we should think about future, we need to extend our family now"

Ruhana turns off the light and lays down on bed "I will think about it and let you know"

Vineet was left with open mouth, he too lay back on the bed and murmurs "how mean!"

Ruhana tries to control her laugh..
