Present Time

Arushi was listening to each and every single word he was saying very carefully.. she turned off the tape recorder and asked him "sir where is Manvi mam??"

Aarav looked at her and said "you will meet her that is my promise but after we finish our interview"

Arushi smiles a bit.. the manager gets inside and says "Sir, Rajeev sir is here to meet you"

Aarav was surprised hearing this.. he looked at Arushi and said "Arushi can we continue after sometime?"

Arushi nodes "sure sir, please attend your friend"

The manager spoke "mam come with me I will take you to another room"

Arushi gets up, takes her things and follows the manager..

After a while Rajeev enters inside the cabin, "Aarav" he uttered his name..

Aarav looked at him, Rajeev immediately rushed to him and hugged him tightly..

"How are you brother" he asked Aarav

Aarav looked at him and said "you haven't change in these 3 years, still same personality"

Rajeev smiles a bit "I am glad you have decided to speak your heart out"

Aarav did not replied.. A silence conquered between the two best friends.. Rajeev broke the silence with "are you still angry with me?? I know I did really wrong but.."

Aarav smiles sadly and speaks up "it does not matter to me now Rajeev, I have no bitterness in my heart for you"

Rajeev asked him a question "then 3 years why you never turned back and looked at me??"

Aarav turns to other side and answers him with "some questions are remained unanswered that is the best way for both of us Rajeev"

Arushi who was standing at the door had heard their conversation and thinks "what must have happened that two best friends were never in touch with each other for 3 years"

Rajeev touches his shoulder and speaks up "Aarav, I know I cannot correct the mistake which happened in the past but we can live the way we were living 3 years back"

Aarav turns towards him and replies with fixed anger gaze to him "you said it once.. don't repeat it again" pointing fingers towards him, then hitting his hand on the wall..

Rajeev signs in disappointment "Neelam aunty was right, you have forgotten to live" and walks out of the cabin. He came out Vineet was standing there, he eyed at him with tears brimmed up in his eyes and walks out from the office.

A while later, Arushi comes back into the cabin to resume the interview, she looked at Aarav who was looking disturbed. She said "Sir, we can continue tomorrow"

Aarav looked up at her and spoke "no, I want to just finish this off as soon as possible"

Arushi pulled out her things and got ready again.. Aarav continued with....

Flashback

Manvi was sitting in cafeteria with Rajeev and Shruti..

Manvi spoke up "Rajeev do something please I want Aarav to recall everything as soon as possible"

Rajeev looks at her and thinks "idea.." he whispers something in her ear to which Manvi smiles instantly.

She looks at him and praises his brain "superb"

Shruti looks at both of them "I think it is risky you better think one more time"

Manvi smiled at her and said "no fear in love shru let's go for it"

Avantika was with Aarav, she said "Aarav it has been long time we had not gone out"

Aarav looks at her and says "yea I know, we will go somewhere tonight!"

To which Avantika smiles broadly, then they hear a sound.. Aarav's whole concentration went from where the voice was coming from. He moved towards the direction.. he pushed the crowd and stood in right front next to Rajeev.

Shruti was the host who was speaking "so friends, my challenger I bet thirty thousand rupees is there anyone who can beat her and take the amount?"

Aarav looked at Rajeev and spoke up "Rajeev don't we challenge people every semester?? Why she is doing it??"

Rajeev looked at him and answered him "bro, relax she is the new in game I know no one is perfect then you when it comes to bike"

Shruti asked one more time "is there anyone who wants to challenge her??

Shruti then whispers to Manvi "Mannu, if Aarav did not come then we will be dead!!"

Manvi answered her "nothing like that will happen chill"

Rajeev took Aarav hand and raised it up "he is... Mr. Aarav Malhotra.."

Manvi interrupts in between "but our player has one condition"

Rajeev asked "what condition?"

"if you win I will give 50 000 thousand rupees but if your defender wins someone from your side will have to pay 50 000 thousand rupees"

The crowd don't like it "no there is not such rule"

Aarav stops them "deal I accept it"

They shake hand.

"but who is going to defend me??" he questioned her

Manvi replies "you will know after the race" and goes from there

Aarav smiles "don't worry bro it is not easy to win the race I am champion from years"

Malhotra House

Aarav reached home and straight went to Neelam's room..

"mom..." he called her

"yes son what happened??" she asked him

"I need my bike tomorrow!!" he told her in one breath.

Neelam was surprised hearing it.. she got up from the small couch which was present in her room and strictly denied "no Aarav your bike you are not going to take anywhere"

Aarav looks on at her "mom please, I know you are worried for me but trust me I will be really carefull"

Anand came out from the bathroom and said "Neelamji, why are you denying my son please give him his bike keys!!"

Neelam was not expecting this answer from him "Anandji you.."

Anand eyed her and requested her.. Neelam glared at him for a moment then gave him the key.. Aarav hugged her and left the room.

Neelam then turned to Anand "this, stubbornness is the reason and you always allowing him"

Anand looks at her and speaks up "Neelam ji you know it very well, this time is not be cruel or strict with him I know your concern but our son is not always careless"

Neelam nodes..

The next day,

Manvi was on breakfast table, Vineet was sitting opposite her she looked at him and said "jiju I want bike key"

Vineet looked at her and said "why??"

"I need it please give me the key!!" she asked him stubbornly

Ruhana and sat opposite them "no required Vineet, Mannu why don't you steal it like last time you did"

Manvi was shocked hearing this, she bit her tongue out "you knew about it!! how??" she asked her bewildered..

Vineet smiles and lightly hits her head "we know you miss crime partner now tell why you need the bike this time"

Manvi tells him about her plan, Ruhana looked on and spoke up "mannu no this is not right"

Manvi tries to convince her "sis please you know my efforts are slowly creating blur images in his mind.. please"

Vineet gives her the key, Manvi smiles and side hugs him "you are the best jiju, love you" she gets up and takes her back, headed towards the garage.

Ruhana looks at Vineet "you won't change right??"

Vineet nodes.. "don't be jealous Roo.." Ruhana smiles at this comment of his.

At college

At 10, Aarav arrives on his bike, Manvi also arrives on the bike looks at him and salutes him wishing him all the best.

Everyone gather and shout "Aarav"

Just then, Avantika comes and sits behind him "as always I will be your supporter"

Seeing this, Manvi was boiling in anger but did not reacted much..

Rajeev "one the mark, get set.. go"

Aarav and the other person fly of like a bullet.

Aarav was ahead of the other and was smiling. The other biker comes from behind and moves ahead of him. Aarav was shocked.. he escalators with full power...

He was at almost finish line because he could see college students cheering for him.

The other biker comes by his side both look at each other and escalators the bike as much as possible.

The crowd looks at them. Rajeev was biting his nails thinking who would win.

"oh god please Aarav otherwise we will lose"

Aarav smiles "not bad!!"

Avantika thinks "this is all their plan so Aarav could recall everything but I won't let them succeed I have to do something"

She takes out small stones from her pocket, and drops them the other side of the road. Manvi losses her bike balance to make it stable she had to slow down. Aarav wins the race...

Shruti and Rajeev were shocked.. Shruti looked at Rajeev and scolds him "I told you not to go with this plan we failed"

Rajeev looks at her "all because of this Avantika!!" Hitting his head on the pillar

Aarav takes of his helmet.

Manvi takes off her helmet and signs.. "Avantika I won't spare you, you failed my plan"

"Manvi Oberai" Aarav uttered seeing her... he tried to recall as her image flashed again in front of him but before he could into deep Avantika diverts him with "yea Aarav you won and I want a treat from you right now!! Let's go"

Aarav nodes and looks at Manvi who seemed to be really upset, Avantika again convinces him "let's go Aarav"

Aarav puts on his helmet and dozes off with Avantika.. Shruti and Rajeev came to Manvi..

Rajeev said "I am sorry Manvi I did not knew Avantika will come and spoil everything"

Manvi hits her hand on the bike.. and complains "this Avantika, I won't spare her for this move!!"
