Raghav picked up Maanvi in his arms and came out of the college. Raghav took Maanvi to the parking lot near his jeep.
He opened the door of his jeep and put Maanvi on the seat and put on the seat belt.
"You sit comfortably", said Raghav, caressing Manvi's head with his hands.
Maanvi was looking at Raghav, she replied to Raghav by blinking her eyes as she was not in the condition to say something.
"But... Askim!";where is your house?", Raghav asked while wearing his seat belt.
Maanvi bowed her neck near to Raghav's ear and answered softly, "Near the Krishna temple".
Krishna temple was very famous in Manvi's locality. That temple was the landmark of the town where Manvi live.
"OK!....Okay!", "I will drop you", Raghav said while starting the jeep.
After some time, both of them were in front of Manvi's house.
"See!", "we are in front of your house", said Raghav, placing his hand on Maanvi's shoulder.
"Thank you, Mr.officer!"; To take care of me and showing concern towards me"," I did not even imagine this caring side of yours", Maanvi said with a smile to Raghav.
"Hey... I'm not as bad as you think", Raghav said teasingly to Maanvi.
Raghav's heart was filled with joy after hearing his praise from Manvi's mouth. For him today was both the best and the worst day for him. Bad because today if there was even a slight delay, Raghav would have lost Maanvi forever and good because today Manvi's displeasure ended and he realised his immense love for Maanvi in his heart.
"No!"... "I didn't mean that", Manvi said with a smile.
"Let me take you inside, I will say that your scooty got damaged on the way", Raghav smiled and said to Maanvi.
"No... Never mind"," I will go inside myself", Maanvi said to Raghav unbuttoning his seat belt.
"But you are not able to walk properly", said Raghav in a troubled voice.
"I'm fine... Mr.Officer", Maanvi replies to Raghav with a smile.
"OK....Fine, but I will stay behind you, see if you need me, I will handle you before falling on the ground", said Raghav looking at Manvi with care for Manvi in his eyes.
Seeing Raghav worrying about her, Manvi's heart fluttered again. Maanvi was not well at all, but Raghav's support was giving her enough strength that she could handle herself. Care was clearly visible in Raghav's eyes.
Maanvi liked this caring Raghav more.
"Bye"... Maanvi said with a peak smile and eyes saying a lot.
"Bye", replied Raghav.
Maanvi slowly went inside the house by her own. Raghav also left as soon as she entered in home.
"I have come home", "mother!", she said looking around.
"Ohhh dear!"..." why are you looking so upset?, mother( jaya ji) said looking at her.
"I'm fine mom", it's just because I'm very tired today, I'm sleepy now and I've already eaten, so don't worry", said Maanvi and slowly moved up towards her room.
"Ok dear... go and take rest," Maanvi's mother( jaya ji) said, placing her hand on Manvi's cheek.
As soon as Manvi entred in her room.Maanvi shook her body little and fell on her bed.
"O God!",said Manvi out loud.
Maanvi closed her eyes as soon as she closed her eyes, Raghav's face started coming in front of Maanvi's eyes.
How do you always know that I need you?, Manvi thought to herself.
Today, instead of being very weak, she slept very hard because she was feeling very dizzy due to that incident.
On the other hand, Raghav's sleep was gone as he not able to Stop himself to think about Manvi. Raghav was just lost in the memories of Manvi. As soon as he remembered their kiss it was as if electricity used to run in his body.
"Oh god.....my mind has gone totally", Raghav said loudly , holding his head .
Raghav had never been so restless before, a strange fear was sitting in his heart. Raghav was a brave boy. He always chose those missions which were really dangerous and no one dared to choose them. Raghav was always very brave and fearless. Raghav was never afraid of losing his life but today he was scared at the thought of losing Manvi.
"I wish she is fine", Raghav thought in his mind.
The memory of the kiss stirred his body, he closed his ears with his pillow and try fell asleep then. Today Raghav was sleeping peacefully after a long time, , the memories of Manvi made his mind restless before today.
Next morning at Manvi's House:
Manvi's phone was ringing this early in morning.
"Hello!",Manvi said in a sleepy voice with half-open eyes.
She did not see the lockscreen to find out who had called her and picked it up without noticing.
"how are you feeling now?", Raghav asked.
"Oh.. Mr. Officer! It's you", she said with widen eyes.
"Why?.."Is I'm not allowed to call you?", Raghav asked Maanvi.
"No!...no!, I didn't mean that", said Maanvi with a smile.
"Then?", asked Raghav.
"Nothing!"...."I am fine now", said while sitting on her bed.
" But..You rest at home today", Raghav said to Manvi in caring voice.
"Yes ..."I'll as i think i need it",Manvi replied.
"Take good care of yourself"," Askim!"and it is okay to take your medicine on time", Raghav said lovingly.
The care for Manvi was clearly visible in Raghav's voice.Hearing that voice, Manvi's heart was fluttering .
"Yes, I'll, you also take care of yourself, ok....bye", Maanvi said so and hung up the phone to hide her feelings.
Manvi lay down on the bed again.
"Hello ! Hello!", said Raghav repeatedly but Manvi have already cut the call.
"Looks like the phone got disconnected", said Raghav looking at the phone.
"What should I do?", Manvi said to herself.
Manvi was not feeling well as she was feeling some emptiness. She could not understand what was the reason behind that emptiness.
"Ahhhhh....I'm leaving I can't stay at home, I'm fine now and I have to submit my assignments too", Maanvi was saying all this to herself just to give excuses to her heart to go college.
But she was not ready to believe that she was actually missing Raghav and now could not able to spend a day without him.
"Mom, I am going to college", she said aloud, getting up from her bed.
She quickly got ready and came out of the house with the bag.
"Hey... wait", firstly have your breakfast", Maanvi's mother( jaya ji) shouted from behind.
"No!"... "I will eat something in the canteen", "I am getting too late now", she said while sitting on her scooty.
"Why is this clock running very slow today?", Raghav said to himself in a lazy voice.
Raghav was also missing Manvi a lot, so his mind was not able to work today. For him timing is running too slow Today.
"You have really made me get used to yours ".."dummy!", Raghav thought will thinking about manvi.
