On same day, Pari talked to Nawab

Nandini was sitting like a statue looking at the frame in the wall, many are memories of her life. Her life has never been normal, she never got what she wanted but a time came when Ayyappa gave all, but happiness, don't know why he hurt her? 

Pari was a bundle of joy in her life, due to her only she got Manik. Pari really is an angel in her life but that angel is suffering this much, she can't take it. 

"She trust you, but how to you lie to her." Nandini turned to her fireflies which were glowing, "So you did, my Pari for the first time trusted someone but you snatched him away from her. Please I want my baby happiness, don't snatch her happiness from her. I don't know if what Manik said is true or not. If she likes Nawab, I don't have a problem because separation of love hurts alot." Nandini thought and looked at the frame which was close to her, 4 years Pari laughing and pulling Manik hair who had a crying face, and 2 years Aarav laughing seeing it. It's a cute photo according to her, so close too, her three babies in one frame.

Her trance broke when a hand whipped her tears.She looked down at manik who kneel down infront of her. 

"Why are you crying? Our baby is fine." Manik ssid, Nandini nodded looking at the frame again.

"Mom said you didn't eat anything, please don't stress about your kind. You know about your condition." Manik said, holding her hands.

Nandini nodded, "I know, nothing will happen if I don't eat one day.." Manik looked at her in worry, took a deep breath.

"For that how many days you will be without eating, sleeping. Darling, pari is fine." Manik said, holding Nandini face in between his arms.

Nandini looked at him emotionless, Manik hated to see no shine in her eyes, "How many days? She is fine for the next few days, then someone will come and again hurt my baby. I want nonone to hurt my baby, this time no one should Manik.." Nandini said strictly.

"Ok, I will take care...

"No you don't.." Manik stopped and glared at her, "You don't need to take care of her." Nandini said.

"You saying I can't protect my daughter." Manik asked angrily, Nandini looked away.

Manik held her cheeks tightly and asked, "Answer me.. Can't I? You know, without sleeping for days I was guarding her. It's your daughter's fault who kie and went behind that bastard, and even you were the one who supported her right..my daughter never was wrong. A father intention too never be wrong." 

Manik left her face and stood up, fuming in anger. Nandini looked at him and held her head, don't knowing why she meant those words.

"Manik..why are you shouting?" Antonio asked, looking ahim and Nandini, even Leo, Pihu and Mukthi were there.

"Ask her na..why everytime me? She blamed me as if I let my daughter in danger. Madam doesn't want me to protect my daughter anymore.." Manik sarcastically looked away, others sighed hearing it.

Mukthi and Pihu mcoed to Nandini, "I didn't say that...Manik...She was getting hurt.. Even when we are all present..i am scared.."

Manik shouted at her, "Even I am..I am scared for my daughter. That doesn't mean I won't protect my daughter. She is my life, I know how to protect her..I don't need anyone's help.." Manik said and walked away, without listening to anyone.

"Nandu, why did you speak like this? He is hurt." Pihu scolded Nandini who was looking down.

"You know how much he is trying Nandu, unlike you he keeps everything inside himself..without any sleep, food he has been working. Why?" Antonio said, kneeling before her.

"I didn't mean those words Antonio, trust me. I trust my Manik, just I was thinking something else so I spoke. I know how much my Manik is trying, he will save Pari even giving his life..But I am scared...i don't want anyone to get hurt." Nandini said crying, Antonio whipped her tears, cup her face.

"You relax, we will save her. Nothing will happen, just speak to him when the time comes..You first eat and sleep, stop thinking too much." Anotnio said, eyeing Mukthi the food plate, who took it and fed Nandini slowly. 

Leo moved to the balcony, as  he can't imagine seeing his mom and baba fighting like this, he had to do something. Before he left to his room, something got his attention was Pari moving to the guest house secretly.

He sighed knowing he was going to meet Nawab, "I hope at least he won't hurt you."

Pari was looking at the dark sky sitting near her window, a smile on her lips not faded. She looked at the man beside her, who slept like Baby. 

She smiled, removed the hair from his face, which covered his handsome face.

"(wph kiss jo bhi par jo dusra vikulp tumne diya woh nahi thi)
that kiss was anything but not the second option you gave." His words made me feel blessed and happy, she didn't made any mistake

She didn't ask more questions to make the environment around them more awake. We sat silent looking at the sky, he unknowingly slept before her. She thanked Ayyappa every minute that the moment they shared was not out of lust..it can never be.

She saw he shivered in the cold a little, so covered him properly, leaned in and kissed his cheeks, "Good night Nawab." She smiled and walked down glancing at him at last.

She jumping and going to her room when she saw her father sitting in pool side. She frowned, it's 1, he didn't even sleep.

She moved to him, patted his shoulder. He looked at him and made her shocked, his eyes were red and tears rolling down.

"Papa, what happened?? Why are you crying??" She asked worriedly, Manik nodded no,  looking away.

She frowned and looked up at his room to see her mother standing looking at them, then thought there must be both fights.

Pari assured her mother by hand she will take care, Nandini nodded and stood there.

"Papa, can't you tell me? Why is my Prince crying?" Pari asked, hugging his arms.

"Has Papa ever failed to protect you?" Manik asked.

She nodded no, "Papa you always been there for me. If it is regarding things happening now, please Papa don't feel bad. There is no where your mistake." Pari said, wiping his tears, Manik pulled her into his chest.

"I wish I could protect you baby, he will nowhere come near you. Papa will protect his princess." He murmured kissing pari head time and time, made her feel safe.

"I know my prince will come on horseback and fight with all enemies, don't cry. I hate my prince crying. He looks like Nandu now." Pari said, Manik chuckled, making her smile.

"Papa, loving someone is not wrong na?" Pari asked, looking at him.

Manik smiled, "No baby, Loving someone is never a mistake. But we should choose the right person. You know about us all, I don't want to compare but Mom chose Ronit as her partner but he left her in the middle and married, one as obsessed with her, she lost everything but we have her hope..to move on with her life. Life always gives us a second chance, which we should grab and become successful." 

"Even I could lost your mother, if I didn't realise my love for her, I was so stupid thinking I could never bring that angel in my dark life..But she came willingly and lighten it..with you and Aarav..You three are my life..I could have lost the hope..if she never come to me." Pari listened to her Papa carefully and nodded.

"But I sometimes be an idiot too." Both turned to see Nandini standing with pout, and Pari smiled.

"Mostly." Manik whispered, made pari giggle, Nandini pouted and sat on Manik's lap. 

"Sorry, I never know what I said." Nandini said, like Baby hugging him.

"It's ok..." Manik said kissing side head, pari smiled admiring them. The one thing with them, how much they fight, shout or scold, both always be together which is needed in all relationships.

"You both are so lucky.." Pari said, Manan smiled at her.

Nandini cupped her face, "My baby is too, just you need to listen to your heart baby. Which it needs. Don't force yourself something like before." Nandini said, kissing her forehead.

Pari nodded and hugged both, "I love you both, you guys know na."

"We know..we will love you too." Manik said, kissing her cheeks.

Pari smiled and got up, "Good night, and do romance going to the room. Not here." 

"Parii.." Manik shouted, pari giggled and ran away, leaving the blushing couple behind.

"Have you gone mad?Why did you go to meet her?" Micheal shouting at Jayden who was sitting casually, reading a file.

"He asked JD, Why did you go to meet her? What if she says to her family we are here?" Jack asked, and couldn't understand what his friend was thinking.

"Because I want them to know I am back for what is mine?" Jayden said, shrugging his shoulders.

Micheal growled and looked away in frustration, Jayden liking it, "JD, it's not playing time." Vincent said, glaring at him.

"I know that ok, that little girl challenges me, I should show how I take the challenge I love to play dirty games." Jayden smirked and looked at three people who were looking at her with anger and upset, "Your work will be done father, don't worry. I won't leave them easily."

Vincent stood up in anger, "Do whatever you want.." Micheal followed Vincent who dashed out of the room.

Jack looked at them and JD, "Don't you love her?"

Jayden looked away clenched his jaw, "I loved her, but after knowing she is Malhotra's daughter, who I want revenge from.I f she was someone I could care for her like my princess but..I never thought she is Pari Manik Malhotra and Antonio her uncle." 

Jack looked at him, "you were acting to her..?"

Jayden nodded, "Because it will help to go inside her house easily, so I used to meet her and show my lovely bf nature to her, she believed I thought she will be like her father but an innocent soul she is. Everything was perfect unless my so-called father sent Mark to shoot them..I could have easily done that, i didn't say anything when she proposed only to get to her mansion and talk to her in name I will shoot both...they must have died by now..But..I have to take this revenge this long.." Jayden said, hitting the wall beside.

(A/N:- second bullet came from mark gun who hired by Vincent)

"I have to act like a lover boy to her..Even I didn't kill them so Pari will get a clue and come to me..no...that family manipulated her completely..now she hates me.." Jayden shouted.

"You said you loved her..now??" Jack said, looking at him.

Jayden smirked, "I need her..my dragon inside needs an angel like her. If she was not manipulated or that local guy didn't end her life..i could easily get her, she is an easy to manipulate man..But she is an emotional fool who listens to her family always. She got courage to speak to me..I need that old Pari chowk who begged me not to leave her..I need her.'' Jayden smirking, Jack held her head which was spinning like anything.

(😭😭😭My baby..become evil..)

"(Meri taraf aise dekhna band karo)
Stop looking at me like that?" Nawab said a third time, to Pari who continuously looked at him as if he kept it for exhibition.

"I can't, you look hot." Nawab looked at her in shock. Pari giggled.

"(baat karna band karke andar jaogi ?? Maine kaha training nahi hogi
Will you stop talking and go inside..I said no training." Nawab said, looking away from her gaze. 

"I even asked why?" Pari said standing in front of him.

He looked at her and away,"(tumhara swasthya zyada zaruri hain isliye andar jao aur araam karo)
Your health is important..so go and take a rest." Nawab said, when he heard she is a premature baby needing more care, he thought to stop training as she will be sensitive to all.

He still remembers how fast her skin became red due to heat, buried in her hands, all worried him only.

"Aww!! You care for me." Paei said, pulling his cheeks. Nawab held his cheek and glared at her.

"(mujhe tumhari fikr nahi hain apne ghar jao aur mujhe pareshaan mat karo)
I don't care for you..go to your house.. Don't disturb me." Nawab said walking to the guest house, Pari pouted and ran behind him.

"I thought we were fine, from yesterday night." Pari said, made nawab stop in his way. He turned to her, who smiled at him, that smile all said her innocence which he didn't want to destroy.

"(tumhe us waqt kisi ke kandhe ki zarurat thi toh maine diya usse zyada umeed mujhse mat karna)
You need a shoulder that time, so I gave it to you. Don't expect more than that." Nawab said, looking straight into her eyes.

"How do you know I was expecting more than that?" Pari asked, smiling, Nawab looked away.

"(maine kaha na hum usse zyada nahi ho sakte main yeh jagah bhi jaldi chod dunga.)
I just said.. we can't me more then anything.i will leave this place soon too." Nawab said, turning back to her, pari's smile went.

She looked away ignoring the pain in her heart, and didn't know why she was feeling.

"No issue, you will be here for time being na..that's enough." Pari said, biting her lips.

"I believe in ayyappa, he won't take my loved one from me..You do your work I won't disturb you." Pari said and moved away.

Nawab turned and looked at her back figure disappearing, "(main apni is zindagi mein tumhe nahi launga kyuki meri zindagi puri ho is safar yeh pakka nahi , mera badla zaruri hain.)
I won't bring you in my dark life, my life is wnot permanent in this journey. My revenge is important." He said and walked inside.

"Omg!! Then are you ok with the pari choice?" Muskan asked Leo who spoke about yesterday things to her. Even when Pari went to meet Nawab, Leo didn't say anything.

"Leo, please pinch me..I can't believe it." Muskan said,Leo looked at his excited gf who was jumping like a rabbit here and there.

"Do I look like I'm lying?" Leo asked, Muskan gave sheepish smile and sat beside him.

"I can't believe,where did the over protective brother go.I thought by seeing pari meeting him, he could throw Nawab on the road by now..but you didn't say anything." Muskan said dramatically.

Leo looked down, "Maybe I can't see her in pain." Muskan became serious seeing his voice become emotional.

" I understand I beei is overprotective of her, but I fail to see the pain of loneliness. She loved Jayden so much, but he bertyal her. It hurts to see her in pain. I wish I could make it all ok..But I can't.. At least she is happy with Nawab, which means I don't want to be between them." Leo said, msukans miked at his words.

"But I will make sure..if he hurt Pari i won't leave him. I promise." Leo said in determet.

"I love you.." Leo blushed hearing it, Muskan smiled.

"Why suddenly Miss.muskan.?" Leo asked, smirking.

"Thought like saying..my leo become mature and think smart." Muskan smirked.

Leo held her by the waist, "then before i was an idiot?" Leo asked.

Muskan bit her lips, "You yourself said it…. hahaha.." Leo started tickling her, muskan laughing and pleading with him to stop but leo kept tickling her, as she loved her laugh which was sweet music to his ears.

He stopped leaning towards muskan who was breathing heavily, holding his shirt.

"I love you bird." Leo ssid pecking her lips, made her blush.

"I love you too leo.." Muskan ssid kissing his cheeks made him pout, but hugged her.

"Manik….Manikk.." door opened with bang, Cabir and Abhi were at the door breathing heavily.

"What happened?" Manik asked his pa to leave.

"It's fucking him..Jayden was one who meet pari.." Cabir said, showing the laptop, Manik Looked at it to see an image, Jayden face was not visible when he was near pari, but when he left outside the resort his side face was visible.

"He fucking back for what?" Manik hit the table in anger.

"Sir, someone left this outside for you." Manik pa, shown a flower bouquet. Abhi took it and examined it.

Manik eye caught a letter inside it, he took it to and read.

Manik was reading the letter, that small kid challenging him.

"Pari should be safe..." Abhi ssid, Manik took his phone and called Pari who didn't take the phone.

"This girl.." Manik called the college principal who assured pari is in class, bodyguard outside.

"Call Nawab ask her to get her back home soon..Leo to get Muskan. All should be home soon.." Manik ssid, calling Nawab.
