__**___

Few days went by, Pari spending time with Jayden during lunch time and after school too, which no one knows except Muskan, who was equally worried for her as till she didn't know about Jayden fully. But the care he takes for pari, making her smile, everything is ok for her. But somewhere she worried if some day anyone gets to know.

Leo finds each other every corner for Muskan's sister who can only say the truth to prove him innocent to Muskan and his strength to his father.

In between both didn't see the loneliness of Nandini, both always spent time with her, even at dinner . Both never spent time with Nandini or anyone, which all noticed but didn't say as they both are not doing bad.

"Baby..What happened?" Manik asked looking at Nandini who was rolling on the bed continuously.

Nandini sat on bed with pout, seeing her husband busy at work late at night. Nandini got down and walked to him, who immediately shifted his google window to mail, as he was doing work regarding weapons to export in the weak.

She sat on his lap and hid into his chest, "always work, why did you marry me? If you 're going to be with it 24/7, marry that." Manik smiled at her complaint.

"I could try baby, but there is no law human marry computer..of there say me." Manik smirked, Nandini hit his arm and hugged him. Manik hugged her with one hand while working.

"What bothering you? Tell." Manik asked after sometimes seeing her uneasy. Nandini becomes a kid only in periods of time or wants ice cream or she is moos off. This year's Manik fully understand Nandini by look itself.

"Nothing"

"Nandini don't hide at least from me." Manik said, closing the laptop.

Nandini sighed, "It's Jaana and Leo, both not spending time with us properly. I first thought both were busy with their work , but everyday happens the same. You know how many naughty things both do in childhood, feeding, playing around the house, and making everything. I miss that time Manik." Nandini hides into his chest more, tears falling down.

Manik caressed her hair to comfort her, "baby they are not the same as before na. They grow up, they want their own personal space..."

"I understand but spending time with others is too important na. I know I sound like a kid, but I am seriously attached to them more..I wish they were kids." Nandini said, whipping her tears, Manik chuckled and pulled her into his arms.

"Don't worry unnecessarily..I know about both, they will come running to you if something happens or they miss you...Ok..stop thinking much." Manik said, pecking her lip, which made her hit his stomach.

"Ouchh, can't I peck at least." Manik said with pout, Nandini giggled and hugged him. Manik held her tightly and continued his work, but his mind thinking Nandini words, and even observing them, Leo busy in searching the Spy. What is with pari? He thought to find it soon.

"Maa, I am getting late, no breakfast." Pari said, packing her bags.

"Jaana...You always do this...eat and go." Nandini said worriedly,about feeding her.

"Paru, just eat a little...there is time." Mukthi said, making Abir redy.

"Please...I don't want to..I want to leave school." Pari said irritatedly, she made time to meet Jayden.

"Enough..." All looked up at manik who stood with a strict face.

"Eating a little won't take much time pari. And there's 30 minute more to get you to school, what is the hurry?" Manik asked strictly which worried all as Manik rarely got angry on pari.

Pari looked down sadly, it's her mistake, and looked at Nandini who was standing with food. Pari stopped mouth indicating her to feed, Nandini smiled immediately and fed.

"Even me.." Aarav jumped beside pari, to get feed from his Ma.

"Then who will feed me..I am your son too." Leo said coming down, stood besides pari, Nandini giggled and fed three. All smiled after long time this happening. Muskan admiring them.

"Why are you angry at morning itself Manik?" Neyonika asked Manik who stood seeing them.

Mainly at pari..." Neyonika asked about her son's behaviour.

"Sometimes we should be strict mom...You guys gave more love to pari, so she is like this." Manik ssid, Antonio frowned, they even spoiled her with their love.

Neyonika rolled her eyes, "But don't be over strict on kids, they will fail to say all to us." She said and walked to the dinner table.

Manik looking at all, "pari, I am dropping you from today." Pari was shocked hearing it, she will be happy some other day, but today she planned to meet Jayden.

"Ook Papa." She said and walked out with a bag.

"Muskan beta, you too come.." Manik said while drinking his juice.

"Sure uncle." Muskan said, Manik kissed Nandini, Neyonika forehead and left. Leo just looking at them and everyone who shrugged their shoulder as they don't know. Leo just sat in confusion.

Both walked out to see pari waiting. Three sat on car and driver away.

"What happened?" Antonio asked Nandini who said hee pov to him.

"So, this made Manik strict." He said.

"I didn't think he would be this serious on pari. I hope he takes it all smoothly." Nandini said, Antonio smiled and side hugged her.

"Don't worry, he won't hurt pari more. As a father he should be a little strict and conscious." Anotnio said, she nodded.

"Dad, let's leave." Leo said coming towards them.

"Yeah..bye nandu." Anotnio said and walked out, while Leo kissed Nandini's cheeks and left. Nandini just stood there looking somewhere.

Pari sat silently, looking out. Muskan sat behind, looking at father and daughter who was every silent, she always scared of Manik or Antonio, as they have a aura scared anyone. But they comforted her nicely and gave a father bonding with both.

"Pari." Pari looked at her father who was concentrating on driving,"I hope you might know about your own behaviour for the last few days."

Pari looked at him in confusion, "What are you talking about dad?"

"Your weird behaviour, ignoring dinner or lunch, not talking or spending time with anyone properly. I aj seeing you so much on your phone. I am not saying don't use your phone, when you are at home, spend time with people around." Manik said, pari realized what she was doing, ignoring all mainly her mother.

"Sorry Papa, it won't happen again." Pari said, looking down.

"You don't need to be sad, I just want to remain you. If anything bothers you, you can say to me, Antonio or Leo or anyone." Manik said, looking at her.

Pari held her hands while shaking in fear, "Nothing Papa, I am fine." Manik just nodded and parked car near her school.

"I hope nothing bad happens. Study well and focus on studies only. Muskan you too." Manik ssid glancing at pari and muskan who nodded.

Both got down saying bye to Manik and went inside. Manik glanced at them and drove away.

"Jaana, don't be sad. As a father he said." Muskan said to pari who sat silently for half a class.

"I am not sad about that. I am sad I have been ignoring all of them unknowingly to myself. I have never been like this, I just want to spend time with Jayden, muku. Nothing else, if he is my friend I could take him home but you know I am scared..What if he goes away from me...Leo gets to know he will do something to Jayden, if he knows I like him." Pari said, looking down.

"I understand, feelings can happen. This is age, but I am thinking you took it all fast." Pari looked at Muskan in confusion.

"You only saw Jayden for a few days..how you attached to him suddenly and said you like him?" Muskan said her pov. She never believed love at first sight.

Pari looked away in anger, wondering why no one understood her. She likes Jayden, she wants to spend time with him, and wants him.

" I like him..it can love at first sight anything..But I like him from the day I saw him. I never felt this for anyone, Muskan you know. I always stay away from boys thinking all wrong. But Jayden proved me wrong, he is just like Papa or dad..He protects me, makes me happy, I feel protected with him..what do I need? I have always been with my family, beyond them I never thought of anything Muskan...But if I care for someone beyond them and you, it's Jayden... I like him." Pari said looking down, tears rolling down her eyes.

Muskan was shocked to hear it all. Pari has never been this emotional. She always makes fun of Nandini for being more emotional.

"More I am scared..What if I will separate from him? Knowing about my family and him. We are different, that scared me. I don't know if my family will accept him. I don't know why I have these feelings, everything is temporary, Muskan. We have to realise our needs soon. If you too like someone or feel something for someone...never hide... Because keeping emotion within us is bad." Pari said looking at Muskan who sat silent understanding her words.

Pari walked out of class to washroom, Muskan just sat there. She never felt the same way of pari, after her father's death, she was scared to love someone or trust. When she see Pari and her family, she believe and want a family like that. She always feel pari lucky but even apri has pain in her.. being rich too. Pari has many restrictions, no night out, no going out unnecessarily alone, she never made friend's too as all see her rudeness before. But Muskan is seen beyond that in pari.

Love, all she know is her father love, her mother or sister never fond of her, reason still unknown. Two years back, when her sister run away, she use to beat her and curse her, saying she is curse, always bring bad. Which scared Muskan, because her father died in an accident just because she was crying for ice cream. He crossed the road he met with an accident, they went into poverty, which made her mother and sister hate her. And her sister use to say she snatched her love..which she still don't know who?

But somewhere she knows Leo is sister 's love, who her sister asked to stay away. She was doing that but didn't know her sister would blame her for Leo's betrayal. She doesn't know what is her fault.

Her life is still a mystery still now. Muskan whipped her tears and sat silently.

"Princess, don't cry..it's ok..." Jayden calms pari who is crying in his arms. She said all to Jayden who was worried too.

"No..i hurt my mom..all...It's all my mistake." Pari said sniffing.

Jayden pulled her from his chest and whipped her tears, "My princess, mistake is human nature. We should learn from it, now you got to know na. Spend time with them and make them happy and never do this again." Pari nodded like a small kid and whipped her etars.

Jayden smiled and kissed her forehead, which made pari happy. She loved whenever he kissed her forehead, which made her feel happy.

"So, we can't meet regularly now." He asked, she nodded with pout.

"Don't worry, I will plan something." Pari smirking made him suspicious.

"What's running in my princess mind?" Jayden asked, feeding her cake.

"Many things, but I will say. How is your job and new home?" Pari asked, sipping her juice.

"Good, I earn a little better. It's helpful for studies. Just one year na I will manage." He said, sipping his black coffee. Within one years his studies getting over.

"Why you taking this much struggle, can't you work in my father office after your graduation." Pari said silently knowing it angered him.

Jayden glared at her, "Princess I said I don't want that. I can stand in my own kegs..You think ...."

Pari cut his words, to calm him down, "Baby I just said, don't get angry. I can't see you struggling so I said?" She said with a cute face, which made his angry cool down in a minute.

"Ok"

"What work you do?" Pari asked, as he never said what work he was doing.

"Princess, I just now ssiad..no more talks in this." Jayden said, she pouted and nodded. She knows no use of asking him about it.

Both spent time and left home.

Pari ran to Nandini's room to see her sitting on bed, reading some files.

"Jaana ki maa." Pari shouted which startled Nandini. Pari ran and lay down in Nandini lap.

"Ayyappa you scared me Jaana..." Nandini said, caressing her hair.

"You didn't freshup?" Nandini asked to see her still in uniform.

"No, I want my Ma." Pari said, holding her hands, Nandini smiled and caressed her hair.

"Ma..i am sorry if I hurt you unnecessarily the past few days. I am sorry." Pari said with tears, which worried Nandini.

"Jaan, don't cry. Ma is not hurt baby, Ma can never be. Did your father scold you unnecessarily, wait after he comes I will scold him." Nandini said, whipping her tears, and Pari giggled.

"No ma, he made me realise my mistake. I've been ignoring you na..I am sorry." Pari said, hugging her waist.

"It's ok, Ma, don't hurt the baby. Shh stop crying. But you know na you can share with me anything, I've been your friend too na." Nandini said, rubbing her back.

"I am scared Ma..What if all leave me? I don't want my loved one to leave me.." pari cried, Nandini thought she was talking about Muskan as they both fought for the first time which made a great impact on pari mind. But pari was talking about both Muskan and Jayden.

"Pari baby see Ma.." Nandini pulled pari from her arms, sniffing,"Jaana, it is not in our hand. We can show much love, our importance to someone.. If our relationship is true with someone, they will stay." Nandini said.

"What if they refuse to stay, we can force na." Pari asked.

Nandini smiled, "No, forced relationships can never stay long, Jaan. It only leads to more complications in life, makes them understand, and tells them how important they are in your life. They will understand it soon." Pari thought her words, Nandini cupped her face between her palm's.

"I know you are worried about Muskan. I know Muskan can never leave you Abby, your friendship is pure ok. Don't think like that." Nandini kissed her forehead, pari nodded and hugged Nandini tightly, she thought about muskan and Jayden, fighting in a relationship she never wanted. But nowadays, she fights with Muskan too regarding Jayden.

"Hello...when you fucking going to find her?" Leo shouted to his friend in France.

"Buddy,a few more days....we almost reached.." his friend, Ace said.

"Do it soon..." Leo said cut his call, sat on bed holding his head.

"Fucking, don't know why all happens to me?" He murmured and looked at his mom's photo , smiling happily at the camera, beside his father holding a baby, whose face was decorated by ice cream. He smiled at himself.

"I promised you mom, I will save her...I see you in her mom, I failed to save you from all torture, but I won't leave her.she same like you innocent, cute smile, never think bad for others but suffered alot in childhood. I fucking kill them wnd save her mom, your son promise you that but please help me mom, plesse help me to find her fucking sister..I can prove myself to both Muskan, dad and Baba.." he ssid palming his face, tests rolling down.

Knock knock!!

He whipped his tears and said, "Come in." He concentrated on files, he thought it might be Servant as no one knocked except them.

He didn't hear anything so looked up to see Muskan standing nervously holding her dress. He was surprised to see her here.

"You...i mean...yo...sorry what...i mean what you want?" Leo mentally slapped him for stammering, this much infront of her. Muskan frowns.

"Hmm...I want to talk to you." She said softly looking down, Leo eyes widened, pinch himself as if it real.

"It's a real idiot."he said to himself, "Ok...What is it?." He asked, Muskan looking down.
