Chapter-9

At night in Raghav's room

Raghav was as if he had lost his peace of mind.He could not sleep the whole night.

Next Morning in cabine:

The next morning he looked so tired and sick as he could not sleep through the night due to which he had lost the charm of his face. His eyes was red. He went to the office and was busy checking the file.

Soon Maanvi enters the cabin.

"Good morning Mr. Officer", Manvi said to Raghav.

But Raghav did not answer he showed that he did not listen to what Maanvi said .

"What happened to him?", Manvi was thinking in her mind.

But she did not pay heed to Raghav's anger as he felt that he looked as angry as ever.

Maanvi went to her table and placed her bag on it; then pulled her chair and sat on it.

After some time.. she again looked at Raghav to ask him something but she noticed that Raghav's eyes were red and swollen and he was seems to be not feeling well.

"You are Ok ?"..." What happened to you; Mr. officer?", she asked Raghav with a worried face.

"This is not a part of your work, you are not my personal assistant, you are just helping me with security inspection, Raghav said to Manvi while looking at the file in a angry tone.

" What ?"..."Why are you behaving like this today?", Maanvi asked Raghav .

Raghav had spoken a little more rudely . Yes, it is true that he Rudely had spoken before, but today there was anger and resentment in his tone. Earlier, at least he would have told his problem if he had any problem, but today he was talking in a different way, due to which Manvi felt a little awkward.

"Why are you so angry with me today?", "did I do something wrong?", Manvi asked Raghav.

"When did you do something right?", Raghav told Maanvi in angry tone.

"You... are you angry for yesterday?", Maanvi asked Raghav looking at him in wait for his answer.

"Please!.."Just do your work", "you don't need to take interest in my mood?", Raghav replied to Manvi.

Hearing Raghav's answer, Manvi also started getting angry, now she too was tired of asking and Raghav was just talking rudely.

"Calm down, it's ok..He is an Angry Bird", Manvi closed her eyes and thought in her mind.

Maanvi turns and goes to her table.Maanvi took out the toffee from her bag and went to Raghav's table.

"I'm really sorry ..";"if I did something wrong", Maanvi said to Raghav.

Maanvi stood beside Raghav and placed the toffee on the file that Raghav was watching.

"Eat this and please try to speak a little sweeter", Maanvi said to Raghav .

But Raghav picked up that toffee and threw it down.Maanvi's attempt to persuade Raghav was troubling Raghav even more.

"what happened to you?, Are you sick?", Maanvi said touching Raghav's cheek, Maanvi was checking his temperature.

"just stop it, what are you doing?" After all... what is your intention?", Raghav shouted at Maanvi and stood at his place.

Raghav angrily said to Maanvi, "you have come just to create trouble in my life"....." whenever I think of you, my mood only got spoiled; You just always did such work which troubles me, please focus on your work and you stop troubling me".

Tears started dripping down Manvi's cheeks, her heart as if broken.Raghav's words were piercing like a dagger in Manvi's heart. She didn't understand what was her fault?

"I'm sorry, I really didn't want to cause trouble for you... It was always my endeavor that you should never have any problem in college, but it is my fault that I did not understand that your problem is me", Maanvi said to Raghav while crying.

Seeing Maanvi's tears and hearing her painful voice, Raghav's heart also got hurt.

Maanvi wanted to say a lot to Raghav but she fell silent after saying just this, she was unable to say anything even if she wanted to . But after a brief silence, she told Raghav what was going on in her heart.

"Ok fine"….."I will try my best that you never have to face your problem again in future", Maanvi said this much to Raghav and left the cabin in a hurry.

With Weeping ..Maanvi went to the college garden and sat on a chair.

Raghav, thinking about Manvi's words, realized his mistake that he should not have talked to Maanvi like this.

Maanvi calls Priya and asks her to come to the garden.In no time Priya came to Manvi. Manvi told everything to Priya.

"How can he behave like this with me?"I am his problem, I just bother his?", Maanvi said to Priya while crying.

"It's ok na yrr .., first you stop crying, that's what you always say and what else can be expected from an angry bird?, Priya said to Maanvi by placing her hand on her shoulder.

"Yes ... But I can't go back to him now, he'll never see me from now on, I don't want him to face his problem again", Maanvi angrily told Priya.

"Ok.... don't go back but stop thinking about his words, now atleast", Priya tells Maanvi.

"Let's go home, college time is over anyway, I didn't know about the time, how it has been evening from morning, said Maanvi with a sad face looking at her watch.

"Please get my bag from the cabin", Maanvi said to Priya in requesting way.

"Yes.. I'll bring it for you ...so just calm down and sit here comfortably" , Priya told Maanvi.

Priya went to the cabin and knocked on the door. Raghav looked towards the door as he felt that Maanvi had returned.

"Can I come in ?", Priya asked Raghav.

"Yes... Come in", Raghav replies.

Priya came inside the cabin and quietly went towards Manvi's table and took her luggage with her in a bag. She also did not say anything to Raghav and she came back to Manvi. Priya put her bag near Maanvi.

"Are you alright now?", Priya asked Maanvi.

"Yes", Manvi replied.

Manvi had just said that she was fine, but in reality her condition had deteriorated now that Raghav's words were not coming out of her mind

"Let's go home", Manvi told Priya.

"Today I drive scooty", "OK!", Priya said to Manvi.

"Yes... OK, take these keys, Maanvi said while giving the keys of the scooty to Priya.

Manvi reached home and went to her room directly.

She was remembering Raghav's words.

"You will never have to face your problem again",' Manvi shouted angrily.

Manvi's anger had increased even more with time.

"Ah…. I will go crazy, Manvi cried aloud while holding her hair tightly with her hands.

"What happened Maanvi?", Jaya ji asked her from outside the room.

"Nothing" Mom, I am just solving a difficult maths question, Maanvi replies.

"Ok... come out, I have prepared food," jaya ji said to Maanvi while knocking on the door.

"No!"…."Mom!" I don't want to eat anything, she replied.

Jaya ji got a little tense after listening to Manvi's tone.

"Is everything okay?", Mother asked Manvi.

"Yes...Mother, how many more times will I have to say?", Maanvi said quite Rudely this time.

Manvi's anger as if it would have rained on everyone if she had talked to someone.

"Please!...." let me study now", don't bother", Maanvi said from inside.

"OK..Okay", mom answers.

"Maanvi lay on her bed and tried to sleep.Manvi was trying to get Raghav's words out of her mind by any means. She wanted to sleep for a while so that she would forget Raghav for a while.

At night

At Raghav's room at hotel:

Raghav was thinking about Maanvi sitting on his bed at night, he was also unable to sleep, he messaged Maanvi after thinking for sometime.

A message came on Manvi's phone and her phone vibrated.

"Ah... who is it now?", She said unlocking his phone's lockscreen.

Maanvi became more irritated after reading the name being shown on the display screen. Her eyebrows joined together. Looking at her, it was known that she was very angry.

"you... What do you want now?, She said angrily.

The message was, "Have you seen the red file on my bench?"

Manvi saw the message but did not reply.

She after thinking for some time checked her bag and there she found the file.

"Oh god....Now I have to return it, said Maanvi holding her head in her hands.

Next morning

The next morning Raghav kept staring at the cabin door. He was eagerly waiting for Manvi to come.

Finally ,the door opened and as soon as the door opened, he saw Priya coming inside the cabin.

"Good morning sir", Priya told him.

Good morning, Raghav replied looking at Priya.

"This is the file you were asking for ..yesterday, I had put this file in Maanvi's bag by mistake, sorry sir", Priya said while keeping the file on Raghav's table.

"That's fine but... where is she herself?"; Where is Manvi?", Raghav asked Priya.

"She was not feeling well, so she is probably on leave for a few days now", Priya tells Raghav.

Hearing this, Raghav was very sad and his heart became a little restless.After Saying this Priya left the cabin.

Raghav was unable to concentrate on his work. He was just looking at Manvi's chair and he was also missing Manvi a lot.

Raghav was remembering every moment spent with her, how she always shown her care to him. specially ,when she feed him with her hands when Raghav was hurted at his hand.

The things of Manvi on which he used to get angry till now, today he was missing the same things a lot.
