After a tiring day at work manyata was all tired and ready to go home. All she wanted to do was hit the bed as soon as she reached home. She was waiting for uday to finish a meeting as her phone started ringing.

Unable to recognize the number her brows  furrowed and she started contemplating whether to pick up the call or not.

Manyata (thinking to herself): ye number ghar valo aur soni, chinki ke alava kisi ke pas bhi nhi hai. Fir is time mujhe kon phone kr rha hai.

She decided to pick up the call.

Manyata: hello!

Akash: moniya mai akash.

Hearing that name and voice did something to manyata and not in a good way. She started to feel guilty that ecen though she claimed to love Akash the most in the world, she hadn't even thought about him in the past month or so. Not even after she received his call when she was in club with uday. She wasn't supposed to talk to him and that was what she was doing but why did it felt it she didn't want to talk to him out of her own free will. Ignoring all of this she just came to the conclusion that maybe it was because she had so much to do and was tired all the time and didn't have the energy to think about anything or anyone else.

Akash voice brought her out of her thoughts.

Akash: moniya! Hello, moniya!

Manyata: kaise ho tum akash.

Akash: tumhari awaaz sun li ab thik hu moniya. (A/N i know corny, right.)I have missed you. Kaisi ho tum aur sb kaise chal raha hai.

Manyata: mai thik hu akash. Meri training ache se chal rahi hai. Soni, chiki kaise hai. Aur amma?

Akash: sab ache hai moniya. Tumhe yaad karte hai. Hum sab tumse milna chahte hai.

Manyata: tumhe to pta hai akash humne dadisahab se promise kia hai ki training khatam hone tak hum nhi milege. Infact hume phone pe bhi baat nahi karni chahiye.

Akash: kya ho gya tumhe. Meri moniya kabse darne lg gyi. Vo rajvade khi tumhe torture to nhi kar rhe na moniya apni baatien mnvane ke liye.  Agar aisa hai moniya to mujhe btao m un sb ko thik kr dunga.

Hearing this manyata's blood started to boil. How could akas insinuate such a horrible thing. She had her differences with her family members but they are after all her family they would never hurt her. She might not have spent her whole life with them but was still their daughter and couldn't her such vile things about her family.

Manyata: tum aisa soch bhi kaise sakte ho akash. Vo mer parivar hai. Kabhi mujhe takleef nhi denge. Mana mera rishta sabke sath abhi itna majboot nhi hai. Par khoon ka rishta hai humara.

Akash: aur jinke sath khoon ka rishta nhi hai unka kya.

Manyata: kya matlab hai tumhara?

Akash: vo udaybeer, mujhe pta hai vo tumhe bohot pareshan karta hai. Kahi usne tumhare sath koi aisi vaisi harkat to nahi ki na moniya.

This infuriated her even more. Uday was her close friend and her biggest confidant in the family.  She couldn't hear anything like that about him.

Akash: kho moniya, mujhe pta hai tum vha pareshan ho. Bas ek bar kah do aur bhag chalege yha se. Itni dur ki koi nhi dhundh paega hume.

Manyata: how dare you akash? Himmat kaise hui tumhari uday ke bare mei aisa kahne ki. Vo bhi meri family ka hissa hai. Vo aisa kabhi kuch bhi nahi karega jisse hume pareshani ho.
Aur jha tk rha tunhare sath bhagne ka sawaal. Kha jaege hum? Tum kya chahte ho 16 saal bad apne parivaar se milne ke bad m fir unse dur ho jau. Jis pyaar ke liye m puri jindagi royi hu use aise hi chod ke chli jau. Mera farz sirfere parivaar ki tarf hi nhi meri riyasat ki taraf bhi hai. Aur mai unhe aise akela chod kr nhi ja skti. Yr baat tum jitni jaldi smjh jao utna behtar hai.

Akash: kon ho tum, aur kya kia hai tumne meri moniya ke sath. Tum bhot badal gyi ho. Un rajvado ne tumhe bhi apne rang mei rang dia.

Manyata: rajkumari manyata. Aur jb tk tum mere parivaar ki ijat krna na shuru kr do. Tab tk mujhse koi bhi contact karne ki koshish mat krna.

Without waiting for his reply she quickly cut off the call. Thinking about everything that he said. She was really angry at him. How could someone that she wanted to spend her life with insult her family like this?
She thought about everything she had put her famil through because of akash, but still they were ready to accept him and he on the other hand had such vile notions about them. All he could do was be a little thankful and patient that her family was giving him and their relationship a chance.

But was he right? Has she really changed that much? What if she is not the same girl that she once used to be? What if she was turning into a snob like jay? She didn't want that. She wanted to be the same girl who thought about others. But what if everything that is happening in her life right now is changing her for the worse? What is she going to do then?

She was broughg out of her thoughts by uday who came in her office about 2 minutes ago. But she was too lost in her thoughts ro notice him.

Uday (clearing his throat): princess?
She spoke slightly shaking her to bring her out of her trance.

Manyata: uh..... haan. Tumne kuch kha.

Uday: kidr gum ho princess? Hum to tumhare samne hai fir kiske sapne le rhi ho.

He said to lighten the mood a little, but it didn't seem to work as manyata was still deep in thought and just gave a nonchalant response.
He knew something was up with her and didn't want to force her to open up. But also knew that he badly wanted to fix her mood as he didn't want to see her all worried and serious.
Suddenly an idea came into his mind and he decided to go ahead with it.

Uday: come on princess. Let's go.

He held her hand and started to drag her out of the office and to his car.

Manyata was silent almost all the way, but suddenly spoke when she saw they were not on the familiar way to home.

Manyata: uday ye to ghar ka rasta nhi hai. Hum kha ja rhe hai.

Uday: vo kya hai hai na manyata, humari jhally princess khi kho si gyi hai bs usi ko dhundhne ja rhe hai.

He said while tapping her nose and it brought a small smile on her lips while she thought about the possible places they could be going to.
