chapter-17

Manvi sits quietly after this, but after some time the sound of jaggery comes from her stomach due to hunger.

Manvi said in her mind, blushing, "oops!... I am hungry; but how to say? ."

Raghav knew that the sound of hunger was coming from Maanvi's stomach, but Raghav also could not give any reaction to not make Maanvi uncomfortable and awkward , so he changed the point by saying that he was hungry because he knows Manvi will not even tell him that she was hungry.

"Yes... Me too", Manvi said in a low voice.

They both went to a nearby restaurant and ordered to eat.Maanvi ordered momos and noodles for herself. Raghav orders himself healthy food like bold vegetables and salad. Soon the food of both of them was in front of them. Manvi started eating it as soon as the food came in front of her. Seeing her eating like this, it was known that she was very hungry.

" Ammm",it's really tasty, Maanvi said to herself.

Raghav also smiled seeing her eating like this.

Maanvi asked Raghav, "Where would you like to go after this?,.

Raghav, taking a spoonful of salad in his food, replied, "Wherever you take me, I'll go there."

Maanvi said with an excited face, "Aaaaa... let's go to the aquarium, it's a popular place in our city."

Raghav could not deny it, he knew that the place was not within his duty but he agreed to go there only for Manvi.

Raghav said with a smile, "Ok... let's go, I'll check there too."

Hearing Raghav's words, Manvi's face blossomed and she said with a big smile, "It will be a lot of fun."

Seeing her lovely smile, Raghav was no longer able to hide his own feelings ; his heart got fluttered, he just got lost in Maanvi's smile and sweet talks.

Then Maanvi put her hand on her stomach and said, "My food is done."

Raghav also, while cleaning his mouth with a napkin, said, "Yes... I have eaten too."

The very next moment Raghav gave Manvi the keys of the car and said, "You go and sit in the car, I am coming."

Maanvi smiled and said" okay".

She took the key from his hand and walked towards the car.Manvi came out opening the door of the restaurant and started crossing the road. Suddenly a car was coming towards Manvi with very high speed. Before Manvi collided with the car, Raghav quickly grabbed her wrist and pulled her backward.

looking at the car, Raghav shouted angrily, "You can't ride carefully idiot.

" Are you okay?"..Askim!", Raghav asked Manvi with looking at her from top to bottom.

Raghav was watching Manvi from top to bottom to see if she was hurt somewhere. Seeing Raghav caring for her so much , Manvi's heart fluttered.

Yes.. Yes, I am fine, Manvi replied with a red face.

Raghav, placing his hand on Maanvi's waist and pulled her close to him and asked her, "Askim!, why do you put yourself in trouble without thinking it through?"

Maanvi looking into Raghav's eyes and without thinking for even once she replied, "Because I know you will always be there for me to save me?,"

Both of them kept looking in each other's eyes like this for a while, now the situation was becoming very romantic as there nose were colliding and there lips were only have few centimetres distance in them.they even themselves don't realised when they come this close to each other? .

Raghav had come very close to Manvi.Both have feelings for each other but do not have the courage to accept and confess.

Raghav take few steps away from manvi and cleared his throat and said, "Ahhhhh... let's go.

Manvi shook her head without saying anything.Maanvi was feeling very good to Raghav to be with her. Also Raghav too wanted Manvi to stay with him for the rest of her life. Raghav's love for Maanvi was increasing with each passing day and moment.

Raghav took Manvi to the aquarium, both of them look at the aquarium together.

Raghav took off his seat belt and said, "Let's go inside."

Manvi nodded her head in the gesture of yes.

As they entered the aquarium, Manvi broke her silence, "Wow! This is amazing, Maanvi said aloud with an excited face while looking around.

Raghav was watching her expressions and was smiling.

Manvi caught sight of a gold fish. She went closer to it and started tapping on the glass tub to attract the fish's attention.

Looking at that gold fishshe she started saying, "How cute is this, look here cutie pie"

Manvi turned towards Raghav to show him that gold fish but soon as she turned her foot got slipped on water which was accidentally dropped by the workers there. Manvi was about to fall but Raghav held her from her waist immediately to prevent her from falling from.

" Be careful.. Askim!,water is spilling here ", Raghav said.

Maanvi stood up straight holding the shoulder cloth of Raghav's shirt.

Raghav lovingly caressing Maanvi's head with his hand said, "It's okay you can hold me like this while walking ."

Hearing Raghav's soft and caring voice, Maanvi's heart started pounding. There were butterflies in her stomach.

Seeing Raghav, Maanvi suddenly asked him, "Why are you so good with me Mr. Officer?".

"Because you deserve this dear Assistant" , Raghav replied softly with creasing Manvi's hair and moved on.

They both sat down on a bench in front of a big glass wall to watch the fish.Maanvi was feeling very happy to spend time with Raghav. Maanvi also wished that she and Raghav could always be with each other,she wish if she could spend her whole life with Raghav. Maanvi also never thought that she too would ever fall in love because she was a girl who wanted to spend her life alone and free. She just wanted to live her life happily by helping others.The feeling were mutual.

She looked at the fishies happily for a long time but soon after she fell asleep again, it was probably due to last night's medicine, as well as due to yesterday's incident his body was getting very weak.

"Hey... did you see that?", Raghav asked Maanvi.

But Maanvi did not respond and suddenly her head fell on Raghav's shoulder.

Raghav smiled and said, "What? Oh god seriously.. how can you sleep so much?" ,

Raghav sat still and started looking at Maanvi, because nothing was more interesting to him than seeing Maanvi.

After sometime Maanvi's phone rang and she slowly opened her eyes and found herself again sleeping on Raghav's shoulder.

Maanvi was about to say something but Raghav cut her words.

Raghav laughed and said, "It's okay","I have no problem being your pillow.. Askim!, Manvi's cheeks turned red again as she was blushing".

"Hey... are you okay? What happened?".. "your cheeks are seeing to be red", Raghav asked.

Manvi feeling ashamed replies in a low voice, "It is getting very hot so that's why ; let's go outside."

Then suddenly a visitor said to her child, "Hey... put on your hat, Mike, it's very cold here because of the air conditioner."

Hearing this, Manvi was more hesitant.both of them smiled a little while looking at each other, Manvi gave her best fake smile. then Manvi's eyes went to her mobile, on which mother had missed call, she said in surprise, "Oh mother, why was you calling in the afternoon."

Raghav said to Maanvi, "Come on ... it's not afternoon Askim!, it's evening now, haven't you seen the time?".

Manvi glanced at her wrist watch for a moment and said out loud, "Oh dam! I have to go home now, .''

Raghav said, "Let's go, I will drop you at your house.

Maanvi immediately said, " no..no! , it's ok, you just drop me off college, I'll go home on my scooty from there.

Raghav replied, "Ok..as you wish, . Both came out of the aquarium. Maanvi was moving forward looking at her phone when she collided with Raghav's back.

What happened?, Raghav asked, turning suddenly.

Nothing, I just ... Manvi replies.

Raghav grabbed Maanvi's hand in which she was holding the phone and with one of his hands stroked Maanvi's head, it's seems to be like his fingers as if trying to saying something to Maanvi's hair.

Stop using the phone while on the go or else you will clash with a pillar next time, Raghav lovingly said to Maanvi in ​​a caring and witty manner.

Seeing his care for Manvi, Manvi's heart started feeling a little different. Maanvi raised her eyelids and looked into Raghav's eyes, for a moment, Maanvi felt that her heart had become Raghav's.

I'll take care , Maanvi took her steps back with a blink of an eye.

The starry night and cool breeze were making the weather wonderful.

Manvi said while rubbing her hands. , "Ah... it's quite cold today.
