Manvi was upset as Deep wasn't doing anything, he was just ignoring and making excuses. She felt her dreams were broken, did he pretend to be a perfect life partner in front of her parents? Is he involved in everything that his parents and sister are doing with her? She looks at her parents who were sitting in front of her, did her parents face a misconception by choosing him? She takes a deep breath, no.. he hadn't done anything wrong it's just his family who is greedy. He had never raised his voice against her. He hadn't forced her nor ever treated her as an outsider. 

She thought she might be thinking too much and decides to wait a few more days in the hope he will convince his mother.

It was Sunday morning, and Ruhana was inside the kitchen preparing morning breakfast. Vineet enters the kitchen and places his hands on her waist from behind. "Good morning," he said.

"Kya kar rahe ho Vineet.. Beti ghar par hi hai" she said.

"Toh? Baat toh aise kar rahi ho jaise uski shaadi se pehle maine tumhe aise hug nahi kiya hai uske saamne" Vineet said

Ruhana smiled hearing him "Subah subah bas yahi sujhta hai tumhe.. Ye nahi ki thodi madad kardo meri" she complained.

"Kar toh raha hun" he said and placed a soft kiss on her neck.

"Offo chodo bhi.. Manvi uthne waali hogi" Ruhana said.

"Are aaj Sunday hai toh der hi uthegi" Vineet replied.

Manvi enters the kitchen rubbing her eyes "Good morning..." she said.

RuVi parted away from each other hearing her voice. Manvi fully opens her eyes and hid her smile but didn't miss the chance to tease her parents "kya baat hai.. Subah subah hi.."

Vineet smiled at her "beta.. Aaj sunday hai itni jaldi uth gayi?" he asked in sarcastic way.

"Papa.. aap bhool rahe ho meri shaadi ho chuki hai ab sunday ko bhi jaldi uthne ki aadat ho chuki hai mujhe" Manvi replied innocently.

Ruhana glared at Vineet and raised her eyebrow. He pretends to help Ruhana prepare the breakfast but Manvi knows the reality.

"Uff papa.. Carry on main bas paani peene aayi thi" she takes out the water bottle from the fridge and walks out of the kitchen.

She smiles seeing that, her father has been an inspiration for her in many ways, especially the way he loves Ruhana. She had expected the same from Deep but unfortunately, he had just shown his care to her not love.

Ruhana comes out of the kitchen and forwards the breakfast to her. She was lost in her own thoughts and didn't realize her mother's presence beside her.

Ruhana looks at her and said "mannu..."

Manvi came out trance of her thoughts and plastered a smile on her face. She held the plate and began to eat the food. "Kya soch rahi thi?" Ruhana asked.

"Kuch nahi mumma.. Papa aapse kitna pyaar karte hai na" she said admiringly the scene she had witnessed a minute ago.

Ruhana understands, she sits down beside her and smiles "haa.. Lekin ye pyaar pata hai kab hua?"

Manvi nods in no..

"Shaadi ke 2-3 mahine baad" Ruhana replied.

"Really?" she said surprised.

"Yes.. hamari shaadi na bahut jaldbaazi mein hui thi! Ek dusre ko zyada janne ka mauka nahi mila.. Shaadi ke baad humne ek dusre ko samjhane ki koshish ki.. Phir hote hote ho gaya pyaar.." Ruhana said remembering the past.

"Aur na hota toh?" Manvi asked.

"Toh bhi shaadi toh nibhani hi thi.. Lekin mujhe vishwaas tha apne maa baap unhone jise mere liye chuna hai wo best hi hoga! Chahe parivar saath de na de Vineet mera saath hamesha dega aur aisa hua hai... jab tum paida hui thi gharwalo ko acha nahi laga sabko umeed thi beta hoga" Ruhana exclaimed.
