Nitya was inside her room, she recalls when Manvi shared the good news that she is pregnant. She picks up the pillow and places it on her belly. She glances at herself in the mirror and a smile curves up her lips. She could find herself pregnant again, Aniket walked into the room and saw her.

He moves towards her and places his hand around her waist. She turns at him, he said "iss baar tum maa banogi.. Ye haq ab bhagwaan nahi le payenge tumse"

"Janti hun.. Kehte hai Maa toh maa uss din hi ban jaati hai jab wo bacha uske andar panapta hai.. Bhale hi hum dono ka ansh hai lekin meri mannu ke andar panap raha hai! Ani... mujhe darr lag raha hai bahut" she said.

Aniket asked the reason "kyun?"

"Mera miscarriage hua tha toh kitni takleef hui thi ye main hi jaanti hun... aur yahan meri mannu mera bacha apne andar rakhegi phir mujhe saup degi.. Inn 9 mahino mein wo uss bache ki surrogate maa hogi uske baad kya?? Aaru aur uski shaadi khatam ho jayegi aur phir humhe hamari khushiyan mil jayegi badle mein meri behen ko kya milega haan?" tears escaped down her eyes.

Aniket held her hand and said "isliye main bhi nahi chahta tha mannu ye sab kare lekin dono ziddi hai! Nahi samajhte shaadi contract nahi hoti zindagi bharka saath hota hai.. Lekin tum fikar mat karo Nitya main wada karta hun tumse.. Hamari wajah se iss bache ke aane ke baad mannu ko koi takleef nahi hogi! Wo meri zimmedari hogi... agar Aarav aur uski shaadi khatam bhi hoti hai toh I will make sure she doesn't go through any bad phase"

Nitya smiles and said "jaanti hun Ani.. tum sab sambhal loge"

She hugs him and he wraps his hand around her. "Are main bhool gaya kuch laaya tha tumhare liye" he said.

Nitya parts away the hug and eyed him with a smile "kya?"

He goes to the table and takes out some papers from his bag. He forwards them to her, she held it and gave him a questionable look "ye kya hai Ani?"

"Padho" Aniket said with a smile.

She opens them and it was honeymoon tickets "What?? Ani tum shaadi ke 7 saal baad honeymoon jaoge?" she asked in state of shock.

"Jaa sakta hun.. I don't mind" he winked at her.

Nitya hits his chest "stop being childish... kya hai ye?" she asked.

"Are.. iss ghar mein kisi nayi nayi shaadi hui hai na.. Wo jaane waale hai honeymoon par" Aniket replies.

Nitya stared at him and asked "paagal ho gaye ho tum? Ghar mein toh dono ek dusre ko bardasht karte nahi hai aur tum unhe honeymoon bhejoge?? Manvi is pregnant Ani..."

"Toh? Kisne kaha pregnant ladies honeymoon pe nahi jaati! Main bas chahta hun dono saath mein kuch din bitaye taaki ek dusre ko better samajh sake.." Aniket said.

"Baat toh sahi hai tumhari Aniket lekin Aarav manvi ko leke akela nahi jayega iss haal mein toh bilkul nahi.." She said.

"Baat karne mein kya burayi hai ek baar?" Aniket asked.

"Wo nahi manega I know him" Nitya argued but Aniket was adamant.

Nitya glared at him "Ani... thik hai jaake khud baat karo Aaru se..." she said and walked out of the room.

Aniket sighed deeply...

ArMan's Room

Manvi had just returned from her show, today Aarav wasn't present there, and this kind of upset her. He didn't even call her or messaged her to ask did she took her medicines.

"Lagta hai abtak naraz hai meri padso ki baat se.. Lekin aisi bhi kya narazgi ki mujhse lade bhi nahi" she said making a face.

Aarav enters the room, her face lights up seeing him. He glanced at her but didn't say anything. He moved to the wardrobe took out his t-shirt and trousers then went straight into the bathroom.

About after about 10 minutes, he steps out and went out of the room. Manvi gets up from the bed and follows him through the corridor "Suno.... Aree suno naa" he was walking with fast steps.

He stopped and glared at her "kya hai??"

"Naraz ho?" She asked innocently.

"Tumse naraz?? Itne bhi bure din nahi aaye hai mere" he replied.

She made a face "main tumse itne pyaar se baat kar rahi hun aur tum aise kyun bol rahe ho?" she questions.

"Baat karun toh dikkat.. Baat na karun to dikkat? Chahti kya ho tum?" Aarav asked.

"Tum ladh nahi rahe ho mujhse.. Na apni extra care dikha rahe ho toh mujhe beichani ho rahi hai" Manvi reveals in one go.

Aarav smiles sarcastically.. "Mera haq nahi hai na... toh jaake bhabhi maa ya bhai ko bolo wahi karenge jo karna hai" he said and walked downstairs.

Manvi followed him, Aarav went to the kitchen and saw some snacks being prepared by Nitya. A smile appears on his face, he picks up the whole bowl and began to eat it. "Chalo.. Itne din baad bhabhi maa ne meri pasand ka banaya warna toh chipku ki pasand ka khana padta tha"

He turns and find Manvi standing there with a wide smile on her face. He gave her a suspicious look "tum ye muskurahat kyun de rahi ho?"

"Kuch nahi.. Tum khao" she said innocently.

Aarav doubted, he asked with wide eyes "Tumne isme zeher toh nahi mila diya?"

She made a face "Di ne banaya hai ye.."

Aarav ate it and was thrilled with it. Manvi saw him eating, she said "Sorry..."

Aarav coughed badly, Manvi picked up the glass of water and gave it to him to drink. He drank it and eyed her "kya bola tumne?"

"Kaisa laga tumhe ye poha?" she asked

"Bhabhi maa ne banaya hai toh best hai" he said.

"Ye maine banaya hai! As apology.. Tumhe bahut kuch kah diya uske liye" she said softly.

Aarav gets in a state of shock and faints in her arm. Manvi screamed, "aah... kitne bhari ho tum!"

Aniket enters hearing her screams, he grabbed Aarav. He eyed Manvi and she denies she is innocent. Aniket sprinkles water on his face and Aarav opens his eyes.

"Aaru.. kya hua aise behosh kaise ho gaye tum?" Aniket asked.

"Bhai aapki saali mujhe heart attack de degi! Pehle toh mere liye Poha banaya aur phir sorry bola aur ache se baat kar rahi hai" he spoke in state of shock.

Aniket slaps his head from behind "isliye behosh ho gaya? Paagal chokra"

Aarav glared at him "Bhai! It's shocking... aur kitna bakwaas khana banati hai ye! Pehle toh galat baat bolo aur phir sorry bolo huh.. " he said and walks out of the kitchen.

Manvi made a face, Aniket smiles at her and said "uski baat ka bura mat mano! Baat jab Nitya ki hoti hai toh thoda zyada emotional ho jaata hai"

"Haan jiju.. Di ne bataya mujhe!" Manvi said.

Aniket caressed her head and then said "Thank you..."

"Kisliye?" she asked.

"Jo tum kar rahi ho uske liye mannu" he said meaningfully.

"Kya jiju.. Aap thank you bolke mujhe paraya mat banao" Manvi replies.

Aniket smiles and gave her a side hug.

Later at the dining table, everyone gathered for the dinner. Aniket eyed at Aarav and said "Aaru... main chahta hun tu kuch din Manvi ko ghumane le jaa"

"Bhai bahut kaam hai mujhe! Aur waise bhi ye aapki surrogate hai... bhabhi maa ki behen hai! Leke jaana hai toh aap dono leke jao.. Mera toh koi haq hai hi nahi" he said

Manvi glared at him and argued "kya meri baat repeat kar rahe ho? Sorry bol rahi hun na main... itna bhi kya attitude dikha rahe ho"

Aarav remains silent, Nitya looked at him and said "Aaru.. aise nahi karte hai sorry bol rahi hai na mannu chalo maaf kardo usko"

"Okay bhabhi maa aap kehti ho toh kar deta hun lekin main nahi jaunga isko leke ghumne" he clearly denies. Nitya eyed Aniket and smiled..

"Bola tha maine tumhe.." Nitya said.

"Jiju mujhe na waise hi fashion shows ke liye France jaana hai kuch dino ke liye!" Manvi spoke.

Nitya eyed at her and smiles "all the best for your shows"

Kaushalya interrupts "iss haal mein tum hawai dahaj mein jaogi?? Akele?" she said in concern.

Nitya looks at Kaushalya and said "usne mujhe kal hi bata diya tha iske baare mein maaji.. Aur Aditi ne kaha hai koi issue nahi hai"

"Bhabhi maa aap iske saath jao na" Aarav spoke in concern.

Aniket gave a look to Nitya and she understands. She smiles and said "Aaru mujhe ghar sambhalna padta hai na.. Tere bhaiya ke bharose ghar nahi chod sakti hun tujhe itni fikar hai toh tu hi chala jaa iske saath"

"Bhai aap chale jaao" Aarav spoke.

Aniket glared at him "mujhe office mein bahut kaam hai! Biwi teri hai tu jaa"

Manvi smiles and said "it's okay jiju.. Agastya hoga waha pe mera khayal rakhne ke liye.. Mujhe dinner dates pe leke jaane ke liye haaye.."

Aarav kind of got jealous hearing Agastya's name. Aarav eyed Aniket and said "bhai.. Aapne jo tickets book kiye hai na hum wahi jayenge!"

Aniket tries to hide his smile, Manvi gave him a look "Acha?? Lekin abhi toh tumne kaha tumhe nahi jana"

"Ab mera mood badal gaya.. Waise bhi zimmedari ho meri tum kuch mahino ke liye hi sahi" Aarav replies and goes to the house.

Nitya smiles seeing the change in their behavior. She had a strong belief by end of surrogacy they will develop feelings for each other and won't end their marriage.
