chapter 45

They all went back to their homes. Manasvini came in secretly. She didn't want to face her aunt,  if her aunt sees her she'd create a scene. But the atmosphere there was calm, there is no sign of her aunt."She isn't back yet" words escaped from her mouth as she was relieved."You are back" her uncle greeted her with a wide smile on his face"How was your trip?" "Did you enjoy your vacation?" ...He asked her so many questions in one go."..." She nodded without words but with a little smile.Manasvini was back, her uncle greeted her warmly, and her aunt had no idea about her stay with her friends (her aunt has no chance to learn about it afterwards), but still, there is a slight existence of unhappiness on her face."Uncle I'm tired, I want to catch some sleep first," she said "Okay, I'll wake you up when dinner is ready" he replied She was always a quiet type so he didn't pay much attention to it. She rested her luggage in the corner of the room and tossed her body on the bed. His words are roaming around in her mind. But they aren't the only thing she carried back home. She brought something else too, from temple to home... A key. A key of her wishes. While holding it she was deeply diving into the sea of her thoughts, and a ringing tune pulled her out in reality. A call from Aarav, she reached out to grab her phone and took the call"Hello..." "Did you get back safely?" Aarav asked"You dropped me at my area" she replied in a shallow voice"What can I do... I am worried about you" he said"So... are you coming?" He asked his voice felt so eager"To where?" She replied with a question"You haven't seen it yet?" He asked another one"..." She didn't reply this time with words but just a hum."I sent you an invitation to the party, it's on Saturday and you must have to be there. It's my birthday "  He explained"... And I have something to tell you", he said"Oh... Ok I'll be there" she replied"Good night then, byeee", he said and the call got disconnected.At Aarav's house"Is she coming... Or not?" Samar asked"She is" Aarav replied with a smirk"And what about Vihaan?" Samar questioned"He won't meddle this time" Aarav replied"Are you sure? He's quite unpredictable" Samar asked again"You'll see that later" he answered"Good night", Samar said and was left for his room.Vihaan got the invitation too but... The time mentioned in his card was different from others...
