chapter 40

Manasvini found a place where they can stay... It's not too far from the cave... She came back to get Aarav but he wasn't in there... She didn't find him near there too... so she was searching for him... Vihaan ran towards the forest... under the heavily rainy sky..."Manasvini... Manasvini..." He was calling her name loudly...He was crazily searching for her.Finally near that cave... He found her... 'A little figure... Fully drenched in rain'... He stopped calling her name and took large steps towards her.He wanted to reach her quickly, he wanted to know if she is fine or not... He wanted to hold her in his arms... Manasvini didn't notice that someone is calling her name... Instead, she was busy looking for Aarav..."Did something bad happen to him?" A thought waved through her mind and she continued looking for him more worriedly...Vihaan came near her and grabbed her hand from behind "What are you doing here?" He askedShe heard a familiar voice... She turned towards him... She was crying badly... Her eyes were red... She was exhausted from all this running... Her elbow and knee were injured too..."Hel...help... me," she asked"What happened...? How did you get hurt?" Vihaan asked back"What is it..?" He asked her againShe was breathing heavily... Her words weren't coming out of her mouth..."Aar.... is... Mi..ng" she saidHe didn't get what she was saying..."Relax... And tell me what happened...? He asked"Aarav... Aarav... he... is missing... I...I can't... find him""Help... me to... search... him" she replied in a stuttering voice'She is still worried about him... even in this situation' His expression got changed and he replied harshly "Let's go back" and turned around to go back to the villa"He... hurt his... ankle... Help me... to find him" she said loudly He stopped for a moment and then without giving her any response, he started walking again..."I... won't g..go without him" and she turned towards the opposite direction of Vihaan to search for Aarav.After hearing her his temper got raised... He turned back and steadily walked towards herHe pulled her hand and make her turn around to face him...But her eyes... He can't be angry in front of those innocent deep dark brown pair...He sighed in anger and changed his gaze to somewhere else"He is in the villa. Samar found him and took him back" Vihaan said"... Thank...G..." She mumbled something, that wasn't clear for him to hear...But before he asked her... Her body became weak... Her head hit his shoulder... Her hand he was holding, got loosened too... She fainted.She was about to fall... he wrapped his arm around her body to prevent her from falling... "Manasvini... Manasvini" He called her name several times... He patted her cheeks to wake her up but... She wasn't responding...
