It has been a week and her expectations were shattering. She called Deep and it was Arohi who picked up her phone "bhabhi bhai ko call mat karo aapko ghar aana hai toh pehle jisliye bhejha hai wo karo" she said straightly and ends the call.
Manvi sighed in disappointment. She had enough of this, she decides to speak to her parents now. She steps out of the room and comes to the hall. She sees her mother working on the monthly budgets and bills.
"lao main karti hun" she said
"nahi.. badi muskil se maine phirse karna shuru kiya hai bahut buri aadat lagake gayi thi tum.." Ruhana replied as before marriage she used to handle this.
Manvi smiles lightly, she eyed her "mumma.. wo"
Ruhana gave her a look "kya baat hai?"
"ek zaroori baat kehni thi" Manvi said
"Haan bolo" Ruhana closed the book and eyed her.
"darasal main wo.." she paused when she heard a loud sound from outside. Ruhana got up and rushed out to see what happened. Manvi followed her, they reached the house which was three doors away from theirs.
The neighbours had gathered and two families were arguing with each other.
"dekh Shranavi teri wajah se bahut jilat jhel chuke hai hum.. aana jaana muskil ho gaya hai hamara laut jaa apne sasural wapas" the mother said
"kyun apni zid mei humhe maarna chahti hai tu??" she further added. Shranavi was just left stunned her own parents are disowning her.
"pehle hi samjhaya tha zyda din beti ko mayke mein mat rakh" the secretary said. Manvi was just left in a dilemma seeing all this. She felt bad for the parents who were getting humiliated by everyone.
Manvi went back to her home and the moment she left Ruhana shouted "bas kijiye aap log! ek baar shranavi se puchiye wo wapas jaana chahti hai ki nahi?"
"jaana toh ise padega hi.. sasural iska pati iska ise khud sambhalna hoga" the father said.
"lekin aapki bhi zimmedari hai kuch" Ruhana confronted him.
"humne hamari zimmedari puri kardi beti ki shaadi karke.. ab humhe shanti chahiye" the mother said.
Ruhana sighed in disappointment. Shranavi helplessly left home while everyone else moved to back to their houses.
Ruhana walked towards home and thought "bechari Shranavi kitni umeed leke ghar aayi thi.."
She reached the entrance and found Vineet standing there. he had just returned from the office, he asked "kya hua?"
"kuch na kuch toh hota hi rehta hai.." she replied and both of them moved inside.
Manvi was shaken by the incident that happened as everyone was blaming Shranavi and her parents. She can't stay longer at her parents' house. The neighbors will now begin to gossip and question them which she doesn't want to happen. She decides to return to her in-laws' home without the money demanded by them.
"are mannu tum kuch kah rahi thi na?" Ruhana asked
Manvi nodded "haa.. wo ab wapas jaane ke soch rahi thi main mumma.."
"kyun itni jaldi?" Vineet asked
"Deep miss kar rahe hai" she made up the excuse.
Ruhana laughed "puch kaun raha hai jo khud mujhe phone kar karke do din mein wapas bula lete they damand ne toh phir bhi ek hafta rehne diya" she said eyeing him.
Vineet glared at her "haa.. haa thik hai.."
The next day, Vineet gets some sweets and Ruhana had some other gifts. She hands them to Manvi, she said "mumma ye sab ki zaroorat nahi hai"
