Manik's Pov

I pulled my knees to my chest as I sat looking people conversing with each other. Where I just wanted to sleep. But I can't. I looked here and there. I spotted a butler nearby me.

Can you arrange some paint, brushes, and canvas for me in my room? Butler just nodded at me. I can relax now. Paint can do magic in my heart and life.

Where are you thinking, you are going? Sanskar questioned me. I gave a side glance to him as I climbed stairs to reach my room in Malhotra Mansion. Still, time was there. As all of us were waiting for Pandith to come. To fix a date for our marriage.

My room. I uttered as I climbed faster, removing my jacket, I tied them around my waist, so, that when I reach I start working on some solid piece, which is running in my imagination.

We are coming. I didn't care for them. As I pulled out brush, butler just gave me. As gang sat in front of me on my bed.

Are you going to paint? Nandini questioned me.

Yeah. I guess, So. I started opening colors from the boxes. I was surprised. My essentials were already stored in my room. Mostly a guitar, which was sitting like an antique in the center my bed. It looked awesome, for me. How my mom had arranged the room in this Mansion. It was classic, just like the way. I want my room something like this only.

Butler arranged canvas for me, I smiled at him in gratitude. He left from there. And I arranged my things according to my needs. I slowly mixed colors, as my mind focused on the imaginary picture. I just kept my brush on canvas. As I started brushing them according to my choice of colors. My imagination was colored the way I wanted it. No one could rule my imagination, that was the best satisfaction and victory I had. And I always loved playing with colors. Because I don't have to pick black color always like my past life. My wish my colors it is when I'm an artist.

Waise, Manu, I just need to remind about college admission going on in the Institute. I want you to have look on that. She patted her baby to sleep as she walked to and fro behind me.

I'll. Maybe the day after tomorrow. I concentrated on mixing colors. And detailing things.

And Nandini, select a school asap. I don't want us to rush in last minute for the seats. In reply, she pulled out her mobile.

Bro, who will not give seats to your kids. Tera naam kaafi hai, tere baccho ko seat mil ne ke liye. Did he complimented or commented on me, I was not sure.

I want the seats for my kids based on their grades and talent not because of my name or reputation. Am I clear to you, Sanskar?? I gritted my teeth at him. I don't want someone to allot seats for kids, and I being the reason. My kids are capable of getting things without my name. They are talented enough to grab one damn seat for themselves. In fact, having them in their school will be a fortune for any school for their talent. I'm sure they gonna reach sky in their own passion.

Very well understood, buddy. He doesn't want to mess with me again.

Bhabhi, my suggestion always goes to Space only. Nothing is best for them than that school. I heard Vishwas guidance for Nandini, who was helping her out to find a school for kids with help of Cabir.

Add me too. That was Smitha and Cabir, it was like too obvious for us. As all kids in our family go to Space. But I gave chance to Nandini to chose because she doesn't want dad around kids always. Though I knew she was correct somewhere. Even I agree with her point. Apart from that, I also wanted all kids to be together at one school because they gonna have a blast school life, if they have one. According to my first experience, I'm damn sure. They gonna have each other back in our absence. That's what I wanted.

Well, Space is all I got as an answer. Nandini announced standing next to me with a pen in her mouth.

I'm okay with it. And we going for admission on Monday. She declared, I sighed mentally. One check. I ticked first do-list of mine, which I had set in my mind.

Whose admission and where? Prathik fell on the couch. Followed by Abhay and rest of the kids. Except for my pumpkin. But I felt a tug on my pant, I knew she was standing to my right.

I bend down little, she easily climbed on my back. As I worked my brush on the canvas.

Abhay's and Avni's school admission. Cabir stated as he picked my guitar from the bed, he tried playing them. But it went horrible try from his side. We all had to close our ears.

Cabir, Should I remind you that you are one horrible person with the guitar. Swara was annoyed. Thanks to her pregnancy. She was so cranky, that she asked pickles from mom when mom served her. She wanted some kind of sweet. When chocolate was given, she wanted some katta. I can never understand pregnancy of any women, I guess. Where she settled herself with some tamarind. When I say tamarind. I mean a lot of them.

What about their admission? Mrudula it was, she was pretty curious than any. I gave a look to Nandini, she is like too used to things now.

Well, we have decided to send them to boarding school. I bit my laugh when Nandini said that. The reaction from kids was such that I could barely cover my laugh. But I did, as I worked on canvas.

You got to kidding me, Now. Ms. Murthy? Abhay's rage was on top. And the way he addressed her said more. I got a note of it, My kids use surname name of the person, when they are highly mad at them. Just like me. I better consider it and correct them in future. It doesn't sound well to talk that way to your parents.

Abhay, I hope you remember you are talking to your mom here, and I expect you to address her same. He meeked out a sorry for her, but his rage could be seen in his eyes. He can spit fire anywhere for things we are doing from the afternoon.

Okay hulk, Calm down you badly need to work on your anger. Cabir patted his back, he huffed. I knew playing with his anger can lead any time drama.

And your mom dad not gonna send you people anywhere. Vishwas coaxed Abhay anyway. He looked me.

I don't want to go away from here. His anger melted but his eyes had pleading, which I could understand.

I was just kidding, Abhu. You aren't going away from us. Nandini cuddled to him, he always believes her just like now.

Aap, please Abhu math bolna. I so hate it. Kithna pyara naam hai mera. ABHAY. Just call it for your Aiyyppa's sake. He was pissed with that nickname of his. So, true that sounds Eww to me too. And I feel my son's pain to hear them.

ABHUUU. Everyone screamed to tease him. I chuckled at his face, he had literally closed his ears with two cushions. He looked cute. I pulled out the phone from my pocket, clicked his pic. He looks adorable when he is pissed. In fact, too cute to handle.

Mamma, I so hate you for this. He screamed at her, she only laughed. As she pinched his cheeks. He gave grumpy look to her. He doesn't like being teased for his name at least.

Can you please tell where are we getting admitted? I heard from behind, it was Avni. She was just silent.

Space. I don't want to drag more. And make things complicated for my kids, which I have already done.

Okay. She said uninterested. But when she realized.

What? Come again, Are we all going to the same school? Can she stop yelling for once? I swear. She hurt my left eardrum badly.

I remember saying Space only. I repeated sternly. She threw her hands in the air. She was excited. But I balanced her on my back safely.

I'm so happy. He will be coming with me. It was Prathik. I smiled at the boy. They have a good friendship in between them.

Manik Baba. I turned behind saw the same butler again.

Ashwini Mam apko bula rahi hai.

Say her I'll come in a while. I gave almost touching to the painting. I need to finish. I need some more time for it.

Send this to my apartment. I ordered him, As I put the brush in water to clean it. While Avni's eyes were stuck on the painting still. She hasn't said a word about it. For now, I don't want her to explain anything about the painting to any. That reminds me she is still at mad. That is advantageous to me.

I heard that you analyze Manik's painting. So, could you explain us, what he is doing here, Avni? I just want to dig the grave of Cabir. I swear. He walked next to me. I saw everyone's eye on her and the painting.

It's still not completed. She said in dazed. Did she catch me again? If she will dig my grave before I do honors for Cabir.

I asked you to wrap it. I yelled at the butler, who did instantly. I left from there immediately. Leaving startled everyone and shocked Avni. Swear she got a hint of things going around. All the best Manik Malhotra, beti mubarak ho tuje.

I walked hastily as I saw butler bringing my canvas out of my room, much to my breath. I hope Avni doesn't open her mouth to rest, which I was sure. She not gonna do. I'm gonna have nice class very soon from her.

I see you there you finally. I heard aunty. I walked to her only to faint any moment. I felt nausea, that things suck my entire breathing system.

You gotta kidding me there. I sat on the couch, where she was ready with injection again. I so hate my health condition.

I'm not kidding here. She pulled out my left arm forcefully.

Mamma. I screamed, where mom held my hand tightly.

I don't want this. I whispered. She hugged me so that she distracts me like always.

It's for your good Manik. Stop being chicken. She inserted the needle into my skin. I yelled in pain and fear, which echoed in the whole Mansion. Mom just combed my hairs, as I just nuzzled in her.

But I love chicken. I said when we are done, she glared me back at my words. I lay my head on my mom's lap giving her my smirk. As she inserted injection but this time to remove my blood for tests, which I undergo like every three months. I wonder why always. And all they come up is it is necessary to know my condition and to change my medication for my health improvement.

I don't know when you'll get serious about your health, Manik. Seeing my current condition, she was badly upset, that I don't care about me. While she did my basic check up as I didn't show up to hospital. I never but they pull me over there or they do the best they bring the whole hospital wherever I'm.

And I want you to take rest as much as you can. Understood? I nodded my head.

Dare you touch sleeping pills again. I myself will show you off the whole bottle in your mouth. She scares me, man. I made a bad face, gave a complaining look to mom. Where they pulled my blood. I closed my eyes tightly. I can't stand blood.

Fuck!! I heard Cabir, he would've closed his eyes too. Thanks to my past again.

Aunty hogaya kya? He screamed as he can't stand at the sight of blood again.

Hain. Bus. She pulled out the syringe out of my skin. I sighed in relief only to feel like throwing up. I smell metallic in the air. I felt unusual.

On the count of 123. I heard Swara. I ran to the washbasin and threw up everything I had. I suddenly felt dizzy. Before I collapse, I was held by either side. I was not in my senses to know what's happening. But I could faintly here Nandini, she was trying to get my attention. But I couldn't I was dragged to somewhere. I could feel weakness. Sudden tiredness and dizziness. I felt my whole body pain.

Throw that away from me. I yelled at them. I could still smell that blood of mine. I can't stand at the smell of blood no matter what. I feel like throwing up and end throwing everything and lastly, I feel dizzy and weak.

Can for fuck sake keep that away from my sight. Cabir yelled them.

Come down. It's done. Sanskar peace out knowing how hyper I and Cabir get its sight or smell. Well, I relaxed my nerves, which badly need to be done by me.

Baby, Are you alright? I just nodded for my mom still closing my eyes. I felt Nandini combing my hairs softly. She was near to me, her hands were holding me tightly.

I'm fine. Give me few minutes. I muttered as I slowly fell into nap due tiredness and sudden sickness.

He will be fine don't worry. My mom said to someone, and that someone was My Jaanu.

Cabir are you fine? I heard from dad.

I'm fine as far as he is. That's all I heard, I just slept on Nandini's lap, who adjusted herself on the couch I was lying.

##

I opened my eyes, I looked around, I was on my bed. I looked around, the clock was striking 9 pm. I guess, I overslept. I walked to the washroom where I could hear people talking in distant. I freshen up quickly. I looked like a mess. All paled out again. I nodded my head in disbelief.

I don't know how to take care of my own self. How the bloody I'll look after my kids in this condition all alone? God knows.

I saw the new dress of mine was kept on the bed. I picked them slowly only to remember I was just in the vest not in my shirt, which I wore when I came to my parents home. I sulked at the thought, I had put up the scene in front of Nandini. I don't want that at any cost. But I guess, my stars aren't my side still. I sat all defeated. I felt weak. Felt like crying. It was all together emotions for me. I started a wall in front of me all blank.

Maa. Is only word came out of my mouth. I badly needed her. To say what I was feeling. I was going insane. I had everything but I couldn't feel happy for same. I just wanted to make things correct but end up messing more. I slapped my forehead. I was frustrated again.

Ehem. Ehem. I heard from the door. I didn't look up to see who it was, as I know who it can be.

Apne, Mom ko miss kar rahe ho? She asked softly as she sat beside me.

Manik, For once you can speak truth to me, you know? I can understand. I looked my mother. I just hugged her as my eyes clouded with tears again.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I looked up to see whether she was hurt or not. But the lady just held me tightly with a smile, and she twinkled with love and tenderness for me like always.

You never did. She kissed my forehead.

Get ready. She patted my shoulders as she started removing my dress from the hanger. I started changing in front of her. As she helped me to get dressed.

Nandini? I slowly coaxed towards her.

She went downstairs a few minutes before. She was sitting by your side all time. She answered.

I worried her. Didn't I? I was embarrassed.

Worried ke alwa bohuth kuch dekha maine uske chare par, Manik. Mom stated. I just closed my eyes.

Manik, Ek bath bolu? I nodded my head as I sat next to her.

Please don't repeat the same mistakes your parents did with you. Un dono bacchne, tum dono ko bohuth kuch kiya, without thinking anything about its risk. They deserve your attention and love. And I hope you don't return them your carelessness for whatever they did. Tum aaj kush ho, voh sab un dono ka kiya dar hai.

Tumari sari acchiye un dono baccho ke roop mai bagwan ne diya. Never disappoint them. Never. She was disappointed by me, I didn't expect any different from her.

I may disappoint any but not my kids. I promise they won't have parents like me. I'll give them my best with Nandini. I promise. I held her hands. She smiled at me relaxing.

I know you never break promises Manik. She combed my hairs behind as she kissed my forehead affectionatly. I feel blessed to have her always by my side.

Pandith ji neeche agaye hai. I want you to come along with me, now. She pulled my wrist, I walked behind her like a small kid of her's still. I smiled at the thought. She is there for me always. My mothers are there for me no matter what. I can feel better at that feeling.

Here he comes. Vishwas patted my shoulders, who was waiting for us at the end of the steps. I smiled at him.

How are you? He whispered to him when I hugged him.

Perfectly fine. My mom smiled at me. In fact, brightly. My confidence is always her smile.

Manik, get the blessing of Pandit Ji. I looked Ashwini aunty, she narrowed her eyes to pandit's leg, a clear indication, I dare miss behave, she gonna cue me with the help of her husband.

Why not. I smiled sarcastically at her. She glared me. I nodded my head annoyingly. She knows I so hate something. And she knows how to deal with me.

I took the blessing of pandit. I turned to aunty.

Is that fine? She glared me back. While Smitha hit my head to behave. I gave poker look to her. But she threw draggers at me. Very nice. I was so pissed with it.

I sat next to Nandini, who was quite amused by the show, as she held my hand in her's.

How are you feeling, now? She drew circles on my hands. Her eyes said her care and concern for me importantly there was a guilt above it.

I'm fine. I pressed her hands in assurance. I looked around to find kids when I didn't find any around. I looked for Swara. She was too missing with Dhruvlya.

Where are kids? My eyes were waiting for their glimpse. And that reminds me, how badly I made them feel about the whole thing. What am I doing? Why them always? I hope every good for them. I just want them to be happy, that's it.

They all are having dinner. She said as we both waited for pandit announce the date with elders. I hope he doesn't end up and give a far date. I was sure to hang him to death if he does.

For his good fortune, he gave the nearest date which was like two month from here. I guess this time was enough for us to make things better for us. I looked Nandini, she was somewhat convinced with the date. When she felt my look, she just nodded her head. That she was fine with the date. I finally glanced mom, one look for her was enough for her to know, what was my feelings.

Pandith Ji. Vaahi date fix kardijeye. Mom said her, after taking consent of Nandini's both parents. They looked more excited than us. I pulled out my phone to mark the date.

What the fuck?? I heard Nandini screaming F-word in my ears. I looked at her, she was totally red. I looked her in confuse.

What?

Manik, What the hell is in your wallpaper? Seriously? She pulled the phone from my hand. I palmed my face.

Kohi aur dek letha tho? What if bacche dek lethe? Idiot? She was shouting at me, which I suppose only I can hear. I looked her with a puppy face, as she still glared at me for no response.

Bacchne nai deka hai. Nae kisine. I defended myself. She gave a pointed look for me, I sulked as she changed the wallpaper of my phone with a decent image of ours. I pouted at it.

What if dek lethe. Manik, How could you be irresponsible. Like c'mon, who puts liplock of us on home screen and wallpaper. She was still not done. I just looked my phone sadly. Biwi kya agayi, phone ke wallpaper thak apne pasand nae dal skathe hai.

I'll put. I said proudly. She threw my phone at me. She was so pissed at me and my doings.

Hogaya? I looked Sanskar, who sat to my right, he gave a sarcastic look at me.

Tumari behan se pochoo. I said to her twin brother, where she hit my biceps. I glared her back.

I hate you. Her nose and ears were full red.

Feelings very mutual. I replied in the same tone. She hit me with a cushion before I do something Rahul uncle pulled cushion from his daughter's hand. Very well!

Behave. He whispered sternly to us. I sat quietly as I glared her back, she did nothing much but same.

Manik Nandini, Pandit ji se ashirwad lo. Supriya mom told us. Nandini nodded her head like the most obedient student. And I?

Abhi tho kiya tha? I questioned her in confuse.

Manik, get up do as they say. My mom semi yelled at me, Nandini pulled me by the wrist. Kitha baar blessing lena hai bhai. Jab voh insaan, vahi ashirwad jo detha. I can't simply understand this.

I took his blessings. He gave disapproval to me. I make sure, he is not pandit of my wedding. Period!

##

I sat comfortably as I watched elders giving farewell to the pandit with Nandini, I yawned at the scene. Don't they get bored?

Thu tek hai? Cabir it was, he was sitting on the floor leaning to my couch before me.

Hain. Now I feel better. buttler passed me fruits, which I thanked as I and Cabir started gulping. I was hungry as I threw up everything.

I answered positively to everyone's queries about my health when they came back after a farewell to pandit. I looked behind, in hope to see my kids, but they weren't still done with dinner. I sighed. They are so mad at us.

Did you talk with kids? Nandini asked me.

They didn't talk much. I certainly didn't want to explain what happened behind her back, when she left the apartment. She just hummed as she filled my plate with fruits again, while she peeled more fruits for me.

I bend to see her face, she was thinking something deeply that she didn't acknowledge I was staring her for a long time. I hope that evil mind of her don't give more ideas to her. If I'm scared of anything right at the moment it is her mind. Undoubtedly.

I about nudged her to get her attention. But I backed off. This is really not the time to do that. Right?

Very right. My mind said me. I nodded my head. As I smiled evilly. Very right. I chuckled in my mind. Manik Malhotra you are just born to be wicked, not my words. My dad's words. So, true though.

I settled down in my seat cozily as I cocooned Smitha's daughter, who was giggling at me. Babies are always peace. I took her in my arms as she went in to see Prathik, who was yelling for her from the kitchen. I wonder what these kids are really up to.

Tho shadi ke arrangements ke bare mai bath kar. Surya dad it was. I looked my dad. If one mistake, I'm gonna sue him personally.

You don't have to be worried about arrangements. Hum arrangements karenge Shadi ke liye. Baccha gaya mera dad aaj.

And why do you think I'll let you do alone? Rahul uncle was going sarcastic it is fun to see. Ashwini aunty was rubbing him off badly nowadays. I say.

Exactly. Supriya mom said all irritated. My dad glanced at me in irritation. I so want to put him in this. It's fun when everyone is against him. But I know, He doesn't take a 'No'. At any damn cost. That's the reason. I let him counter on behalf of me as I prepared a deal in return for him. Though he will to do for free, I didn't let that happen. I don't want his help. It was a deal to me. But not for him. At least that was what I saw. He was changing, much to my own horror movie.

Because I already had made deal with Ashwini. Ain't I? He was smacked already by the aunty.

You always do this. I hate you. She was literally pulling his hairs.

Hey, let go. Where I muffled laughs with me. God! they are such kids.

You promised it. Didn't you? My dad held her hand. Where aunty huffed as we all were laughing at the show.

I wish I never did. It was my daughter wedding and we aren't supposed to do anything. How dare you do that? I suppose to learn that my parents came to a mutual understanding with Nandini's parents that if I get married to their daughter, my parents gonna organize the whole wedding. For, getting her as Malhotra's only daughter-in-law. Well, It was my parent's demand, then only they agreed to Kirloskar's wish. Cliche though. But still, things are in my favor.

Well, it was our demand. My dad smoothly got up and sat next mom, he knows no one dares to come near him when he is with mom. She is a savior for us in every way.

But I'm gonna plan my wedding. I looked the troublemaker next to me. I rolled my eyes in annoyance. How can I forget the famous event planner of Europe aka My wife? I glanced my dad. I really didn't want to fight with Nandini to plan our wedding. When I know she is the best more than me in this case. But I wished to prepare her dream wedding like she did mine.

My dad looked me for help. I clearly don't know what to say. Because we were stuck.

Nandini, beta don't worry shaddi ke arrangements mai khud karungi. I have good hand in planning. So, you don't have to worry about planning and all. Just enjoy the wedding. Just get pampered by your parents. Tum apne pasand muje bathau, I'll prepare things according to your wishes. I looked my mom with an open mouth while she was looking me already with a beautiful assuring smile.

Suddenly happiness knocked my doors. Because Nandini can't say no to mom at least. Thanks to her perfection in any event preparation or event.

Nandini looked me. Her tongue was tied. She can't do anything now at least.

Soch ke bathua? My dad gaped at the scene. I chuckled when she said 'yes' to my mom. When my dad can't do anything. I have my mom always. She is the best.

Where I did victory dance within me. The second thing on the do-list is checked. I smirked at my dad, who nodded his in disbelief.

Chalo sab dinner tyaar hai. Cherry called everyone where I walked behind with my dad. And let me tell you, my smirk of victory was burning the whole of Raj Malhotra.

Bass kar. He was done with my drama.

Mr. Malhotra jal jal ke raag hore hai. I couldn't stop my laughing. He gave one look to shut up. I did. As I carried the baby.

Waise, Pura traveling apke saar par hai. 'Sabki'. He frowned.

Shaddi kar kaha raha hai, thu? Jo ethna stress karke batha raha hai? He questioned taking the baby in his arms gently. He patted baby to sleep. where she warmly welcomed in his arms. He was good with Smitha's baby. I loved it. I admired the scene. I wish it was me. I just wish.

Ethna samaj lo. You are going bankrupt very soon. I patted his shoulders with fake affection. While I gave my wicked smile to him.

If you are happiness lies in my bankruptcy. I'm ready for it too. He was bloody serious when he said that. I looked him dazed. The environment becomes serious suddenly. I don't know what to do. Somewhere I didn't like the conversation turning serious again between us.

Tho tek hai. Get ready then. I patted his arms as we walked to the dining table. I didn't want to look at the past at least at the moment when I'm trying to make things better.

A lavish dinner was arranged by mom. Surprising everyone with their favorite recipe. It had everyone's favorite. I gave I'm impressed look to mom. She smiled delightedly. She is happy like never before. Her eyes were twinkling. She is excited. She is in peace. In all and all my first love was happy. My babe is happy in her life finally. I just hugged my mom sideways.

Ap nae ho tho, mera, kya? I asked only to her to hear.

Tumri kuch bhi nae hotha, mera bina. She giggled like a school girl. I rocked her in my arms.

You look hot babe. I kissed her cheeks. My dad rolled his eyes.

I know handsome. She ruffled my hairs as she made me sit on the chair. I tried to figure out Nandini, she was nowhere. I looked my kids, who were sitting next to me. I shifted more towards them. But they didn't budge more for my presence.

Naraz ho? I whispered to Abhay. He ate roti with veg paneer curry.

Apko kohi farak padatha hai, kya? Mai naraz hu, ya na hu? He ate another bite like it was one of our normal conversations.

Of course baby. I coaxed near to him. He just looked me as he fed me one bite from his plate.

Aap tek hai? Mom daar gayi thi apko waise deke. He looked totally blank. But there was concern floating for me. As he clearly changed the topic.

Aur tum? He fed another bite to me, while he stuffed one inside his mouth as he munched.

Maybe not. I glared him in my mind. He just pissed me and he knows how to take revenge on me. Don't he?

Kithna jhot bolthe ho? He gave fake smile to me as he continued to eat without any extra word towards me. Wow! he is totally mad at me.

Avni ke taarf jane ke koshish bhi math kijeye.

Bohuth shanth hai voh. Uska ek he mathlab hai. A silence before the storm. So, aap better apne place mai betiye. I know you don't want any scene in your parents home especially when people are around you. He advised me. I closed my eyes as I was about to go to Avni, who was too into her plate. She was quiet again. No more words. One should learn how to give silent treatment from her.

Tumri mom kaha gayi? I turned towards my own plate but he still fed me. And he says he doesn't care for me.

She didn't come here. But don't worry Nanu gaye hai une lane ke liye. I served fried rice into his plate. He mumbled a thank you as he dug in his plate. I sighed and looked Avni eating silently. I wish someone slap me hard so that I don't forget my kids before any decisions of mine.

I badly need things to work out. I huffed in irritation.

End of Manik's Pov

Nandini's Pov

I walked out of Malhotra Mansion, as I walked in Malhotra's backyard, which had acres of lawn and swimming pool in it. It was lavish and stylish home, where the air filled with luxury and money to any. But it had something more attractive warmth. Homely warmth. Just like Neyonika aunty. The home defines her.

I sat near pool looking all lost in the water. I just closed my eyes. Why do I always mess up things? Why? I looked sky to find answers to all questions.

Asman mai kohi answers nae hotha hai, beta.I looked behind to see my (Rahul) dad walking near me. He had worn simple jeans which were paired with a green t-shirt. He was no mood to get aged any sooner, I suppose. He is I smiled at him he returned back one.

He sat next to me dipping his legs into the water just me not before rolling his jeans up.

Tho answers melthe kaha hai? my gaze fell on chocolate which was before me. I looked, my dad, he just showed me in his eyes to take. I did as I unwrapped them to have them.

Kud mai. I looked him as I took a bite of chocolate.

Whenever I did. I did wrong. Mera question ka answer humesha galath tha. Aur mai hamesh galath karthi ho. Well, pretty much true about my personal life. When I became like this. I don't know. I'm just confused about anything and everything.

Kyuki tum hamesha tumre answers vahi lethi ho jaha tume nae lene hotha hai. He just mirrored my truth. I looked him totally blank.

Siri? I looked him immediately. He held my hands in his. He gave one assuring smile, which made me smile back. I really didn't mind he not using my usual name. I was getting used this name in my parents home.

Ek bath puchu? when I didn't say anything he continued.

Did you ever think from your mind when you fell in love with Manik? I gaped at him, I certainly didn't expect that question but an answer to my complicated self.

I never thought from my mind when it is Manik. It was always from the heart but. I stopped my self to tell further to him. I was ashamed on my own self because later it was all about mind, which took decisions for him.

But kya beta? He questioned me back. I closed my eyes as tears rolled from my eyes.

It was mind. I answered as I wiped my tears from the back of my free hand, where he just tightened our entwined hands.

I guess your feelings and your tears gave you answers where are you going wrong. Ain't it? I bobbed my head like a small kid. I felt a lump in my throat. I want to burst out crying for my deeds.

And I don't want you to repeat things which you have done already. I want you to think both of heart and mind. Before you jump to an answer or decision. Think of what are you doing. Think of how does the outcome goes. Think will it hurt others. And importantly think wisely. And what your souls say to you. Samaji? Tears started flowing with a second thought. All my deeds came bouncing back at me. My all wrong things just mirrored me. I felt worst about my own self.

I'm not like your dreamy daughter, right? I said after a long pause, He let me cry he didn't stop me. Neither he consoled. He didn't embrace me with a lie. But he slapped my reality and welcomed me whole heartily with all my flaws. He didn't keep me in dark. He showed my reality and dared to embrace me the way I'm. That's how parents should be, Right?

Accepting your flaws. They accept you the way like no one.

No. I sniffed by looking at him.

You're beyond my dreamy daughter. You're an independent woman, who I have ever meet, who is capable of taking care of her babies at the same time building her own biggest empire. You're a strong woman who fought all odds to save her babies. You're smart to tackle any situation. At the same time, you're one complicated person. I don't blame you for this. But I blame the situations, which made my daughter like this. Your life lessons made you like this. You're complicated because you fear to get broken again. You're complicated to trust anyone again because your dear love and parents have broken your trust. You're complicated to accept someone because you fear what if you depend on them and they ditch you badly. I just tightened my hands with his. How he easily he read me. I never voiced but I feared to be broken again. I feared to trust someone because I feel my loved one will stab my back. I fear. I'm complicated. I can't help.

But that doesn't mean you are bad. Everyone makes mistakes. Everyone has their flaws. If not they won't be called humans, beta. He wiped my tears, as I kept my head on his shoulders. He patted my head lovingly. I smiled at the sweet and affectionate gesture of his. I felt I can share anything with him. He made things simple for me for one month. He made things easy for me when it's my family. He didn't rush anywhere. He never forced me for anything, he was badly patient with me. He really took care of me like a small baby of his.

I wanted to go with you people. I stated to him. I looked he just smiled at me. There was no excitement I expected from him. I frowned, shouldn't he be happy to have his daughter finally in his home.

Our doors are always opened for our daughter. She can come anytime. I heard from behind, I looked at my mother, who sat next to me. She even dipped her legs. I smiled delight looking at her. This looks perfect. Scratch that. It is Perfect!

Thank you. I mumbled at her. She smiled at me.

Worried ho? I just nodded my head for her question. Worried was a small word to what I was actually going through. It hurts to see him vulnerable and devasted. I hate it. I don't like it. And the scene just blinding me from all other thoughts inside me. If I had looked back things would've never been this worst. Never.

He is fine dear. He will be. She assured me. As she pulled out chocolate from hand, she had them. Within few minutes.

I don't know. I felt so sick seeing him like that. The scene was actually playing on the back of her mind. The way I saw him yelling at mom being in his mom's lap. I never knew that he couldn't stand at blood smell. I feared to look at his act. I wish I could something but all I could do was hold his shivering hands in mine tightly and his weak form in my arms. How I wish to take all his pain but I can't. I feel my heart breaking every time. I fear to lose him again. I really do.

I know. But you should be strong to deal with things when he is the matter. She had chocolates just like Avni. I just pushed that thought for a second. As I kept myself silent. We all three finished chocolate.

Something more is bothering you? I looked at my father. I just sniffed in response. The thought only shook me. And my entire system drains out of blood. I feel my heart breaking into pieces. I couldn't get over this. I could never.

What's wrong? Tears rolled as an answer to them. I don't want to say or talk to anyone. I feared to stand in front of Manik. I may slap him for his thinking or doings. That's the reason, I wanted to go to parents home. Before I do something in haste, which I regret later. I don't want to hurt him anyway. I love him so much that I feel responsible for every wrong he did in his life. I felt my heart breaking badly with thoughts. My soul was torn apart. I wish you have received my call once Manik. I wish. I knew something was going wrong badly with you. But I never expected this decision from you. Why did you do this? I feel terrible. I feel sick more now. I regret like never before.

Nothing. I said blankly, as I rubbed my tears from my backhand. My parents exchanged look of worried and concern for me.

Tell me the truth, you lady. Before I found out myself. I was warned, my mom. She looked annoyed and worried about me.

I said there is nothing. I said helplessly. While my dad just tightened his hands around mine. I looked at him.

You can trust us. My dad added.

It's not about trust. I have nothing to say. I really didn't feel like sharing. I want to calm myself when I confront Manik for same. I don't want to go impulsively with him and ruin things between us. When It's already messed up by me.

Then I'm very sure. The word 'nothing' refers to only is Manik. Am I right or I'm right? I looked my mom with wide eyes. I'm this easy to read by my parents.

Yes, I was worried, seeing him like that. I couldn't afford to lose him again. I choked while saying it. That was the utmost truth. Half-truth probably. what if? Always crossed my mind. It made me insane. I feel I can't afford to feel that pain, then I will die. I can't bear that in my nightmare also. Why did you do that? Why Manik?? Why??

Though my dad was somehow convinced by my words. But when I dared to see my mom, one look of her terrified me.

And I'm convinced mom can find what's wrong better than any. Even if you don't want to share. She'll come to you know anyways in her way.

Nandini, tell me the truth. She said sternly to me. I gulped at her tone.

Manik?? I couldn't say further.

Did you have a fight with him? My dad was getting worried about us.

No. I answered him. I looked at my mother, who chinned up me immediately. She gestured me to tell truth from her eyes. Her eyes softened at me.

Can you tell me what exactly happened in Dubai? She left my chin, she nodded her head in 'no'. I know she won't, she doesn't what to remember anything. Neither anyone. So as to me. Who is far from everyone yet knew something was going wrong behind me.

Why do you want to know something, which is in the past? My dad was not ready to say anything related to past. In fact, he never let me do anything wrong. He was watching me from far. He knew what I was doing. Yet he stood behind me like a shadow.

Is it something related to the past, that's the reason for your upset state. She guessed it mostly. Well, my dad filled more into the matter.

Is it about Mukti? My mom's eye was throwing fire already hearing her name. She isn't aware of my any activity it was just Swara and my dad. I didn't even let Sanskar know this because he has the big mouth with Manik. I shivered to look at her, my dad held his head, he really didn't want to face the worth of my mother.

Where is Mukti? She questioned me back like Manik. I closed my eyes. I thought of finding some help from my father but it was no use, as he was looking equally clueless like me.

We don't know. he answered behalf of me.

Do you think I'm gonna buy this shit of you both daughter and daddy? What's going behind my back? She wanted an answer, which I didn't want to spit. She was highly oriented for right things. Not like me. If any did wrong she gonna not leave them.

We are telling truth. He tried a lot. Keyword 'tried'. She glared back, she wasn't buying, was she? hell no.

For plan backfired.

Do you think I'm a fool? She had enough of our nonsense. Truly to be said. Even I had.

I have Mukti. Everything went silent after what I said. I turned to my dad, his eyes popped out, he really didn't want to disclose this information to my mom. He was worried now. She won't really appreciate what we are doing. She really won't. Not any mother, who wants her baby to be out of danger.

Are you gone insane? She yelled at me. I literally closed my ears. Damn! she can hurt my drums any sooner. I turned to my dad, he was no less. He too closed his ears. Ears are a precious part of human body, you know.

What made you do such things? And Rahul you are helping her. Now you don't tell me, 'no' as an answer, without your help, she can't do anything this far. She was furious. It was very evident after knowing the truth.

I do. He accepted. I closed my ears as she cursed under her breath. Well, we do deserve that.

Where is she? Why did you do that? My mom was still not done.

I asked you what exactly happened after the concert. I yelled at her. She looked baffled at my sudden outburst.

What you exactly want to know? It was my dad. He was worried and frustrated to tell me as he knows it affects me badly. But he didn't know, what I knew it. But need to check whether it was true or not. I don't want to rush Manik and slap him if it is false.

Things happened after the concert and importantly the accident part. They looked anxious and frightened to say anything. But my dad had the courage to put it in words. He doesn't want me to keep in dark no matter what. He wants to keep things transparent between us. Because he wants his daughter to trust him with all her heart. He was truly giving me a reason to trust him and somewhere love him more.

We couldn't believe Manik really made that concert even today. The concert itself was the biggest nightmare for us. We all lost hope on living. But somewhere we get through it because of Manik and Swara's timely smartness.

It was the biggest concert in Dubai, and all the money was going to a charity program. That was the only reason, Manik agreed to come back from wherever he was. We didn't have any idea until I saw him with Neyonika and Raj that day in the hotel. He was paled completely. No life in his system. He was just breathing. There was no smile, which was his signature smile whenever he used to meet us. We had ditched him too badly at his weak moment. How he survived that storm only he knows.

Raj and Neyonika dug on everything to get Manik from wherever he was. They found him. They brought him away to a far country called Dubai. To keep him safe with them. Raj did every possible thing to locate Manik. That's when they got to know Manik used his Malhotra name after a long time in London university to send you an email for your admission. Tracing his email they got to know where he was. Till today none know from where he came except his parents. Raj prepared a concert to bring him back to music and for Neyonika he agreed to the concert when he learned it was charity purpose. My dad stated furthermore. My head was already spinning. But I wanted to know more so that I know how to heal him. My heart breaks to hear what he went through. Yet, I didn't have the option but to hear them.

His words were limited. He used to zone out often. There was no sense of presence in his mind. He had become blank. My mom sniffed as she narrated the day from her view.

Was Manik there with you all when you people were taken to that place by Sandeep? My parents frowned at me.

Why do you ask that? Perhaps, I clearly remember Manik or Swara wasn't there with us when they took us. In fact, we didn't know where both were. My mother somehow managed to answer me.

Swara was with him all time. I mentally noted the point. Somewhere, I was joining dots which made sense why Swara said a 'yes' to me to be my side in Mukti's matter. She truly hated that women from her every gut like me.

Manik and Swara knew that you people were going to be taken. I threw a bomb at them. Their eyes went wide within flash. They never expected that coming for heaven sake none actually knew what really happened that day.

Tell me correctly how the concert ended that day? What exactly happened? Though I saw the recording of the concert hundred times to make sure, what I heard and thinking was true. Everything ended up to be true, what I believed and I heard was true.

You know you are making me feel worst at the moment. Frowns already made my father's face, he was sweating. He doesn't hear more about that but truth to be told, there was more to be cleared and more be punished for the deeds, she is not going to have any peaceful life. If I found out it was pretty true again.

I have done already worst to her. I guess, she deserves more for it. I cursed her mentally.

She thought this would be revenge to make me weak perhaps she didn't know, she dug her grave more near to her by saying something which she shouldn't have said to make me feel worst. Yet, to feel her own death.

You, bitch get ready to face my worst

I'm feeling more than that. Everything was going above my head since I landed in India. Every fucking thing believed was not true. Not true.

Tell me? I asked them softly, they knew how desperate I was. My voice sounded nothing but helplessness. I wish I could have done something. Why didn't you picked my call for once, Manik?? Things would've not been this bad or hard if you would've not ignored the call of mine.

You would've been there for our kids instead of being in the hospital bed for so many years. I wish I would've come back for you. I should also be blamed. Highly. I'm sorry, I never understand. I never did, what was going behind me. I'm sorry.

We successfully made the concert on time. Manik lead himself to the stage. We wanted to take him to the hospital. He needed that. He needed rest. He completely drained out physically, mentally and emotionally. But he didn't budge to any advice of ours. He seems off, he wanted to make this concert for himself ultimately. He wanted this to be a hit. The big hit. Everyone should talk about it for years. He wanted people to remember him always.

And it became one big hit like he dreamt. People talk about that concert even today. It was one turning point concert night for Manik in the Music industry. He was entitled to the best after that. Dad narrated to me. I held my tears which were about to fall any second. I caught myself in front of them. I don't want to cry or make them worried about anything. I couldn't ask this to Raj uncle or Neyonika aunty. It would hurt them badly. They have passed the worst behind them, today they both looked merrier with their son and daughter. I don't want to disturb them because they were getting back like after ages and they do deserve a happy life of their own for their every tear in past. It would hurt them to impossible to hear the truth, which Manik had buried deep down to make them better. It was better that way for him and everyone. But not for me at least.

But we never knew, he was going to make that concert as the last concert of his life. We had no idea. Until he sang on the stage. It was a goodbye song of his. He bid a final goodbye to the audience as he handover the guitar to Raj. He walked out of the concert. All defeated. His shoulders were slumped. His hands thrust deep inside in his empty pant pockets. He didn't have anything apart from a mobile in his jacket. Thousands of people were yelling for him. He just turned to them gave his charming smile. I clearly remember that signature smile of his even today. That scene can never be deleted from my eyes. Everything looked slow to me. Everything felt it was going away. I ran after him, I knew something was wrong with him. I knew it. He needed to be held before he goes too far from us. I ran and ran after him. Mom chocked her words, as tears started flowing from her eyes. She looked depressed to even remember that day. She wiped her tears.

But he was not ready to be held again. He gave up on everyone like everyone gave up on him.

Neyonika screamed his name, but I was before her. I was just near him. In fact, he was few feet away from my reach. I wanted him to convince like I always did. He got the call. I clearly saw that. I clearly knew he was about to receive it. But something in him stopped him as he saw the screen blankly, But he never recieved that call.

He looked at us. He flashed his beautiful smile at us. It was so one of his best smile I ever seen. I was about to go near him with Neyonika, who had capability to pull him from the stunt he was doing.

He looked at us back. He flashed his beautiful smile at us. It was so one of his best smile I ever saw. I was about to go near him with Neyonika, who had the capability to pull him from the stunt he was doing. She was very aware of what he was thinking. She had seen worst in him. She always saw it. But she wasn't ready for what happened next in front of her eyes. She crashed down badly. She couldn't really believe. It happened.

He said sorry to Neyonika.

With one I love you just for her. He walked backward with the phone ringing in his hand still. I could hear that.

That's it. Before I ran and save him, he was hit by a car at very force. Everything happened so fast, we couldn't believe our own eyes, how Manik fly in the air, in front of our eyes. We all were there. But we couldn't stop what he had in his mind. We couldn't save him to kill himself in that accident. It was an accident for the world. But it was an attempt to suicide we all knew it. And he pretty succeeded. If he been hit by a truck by another side of the highway.

But he was eventually pulled by a lady when he landed on the road in thud by her. Her timing to save him without care of her own life. She saved him the most that day. She saved him from a truck, which was about run over him. My gaze finally went on her, she was already seeing me with tears in her eyes. I gulped my lump in the throat. I couldn't really form a word for my feelings, I couldn't express what I was actually feeling. It was just a waste to say something when the love of your life ends up choosing death over his life. I sighed helplessly. I breathed with my broken heart. It hurts, how badly he felt that his life wasn't worth it. How lonely he must have felt. How badly his pain won the match over him. It must be much more than he could express, I know.

Smitha thi voh ladki. Usski behan. She smiled finally. I smiled at her words. I closed my eyes. As my dad rocked me in his arms, as I didn't utter a word after that. Just tears from my side. which slowly moved to sob, I couldn't control my tears. I felt worst partner any can have. The guilt just highed in my heart.

I was the one who called him. I chocked when I said them. They gaped at me. None could guess that.

I had met with an accident at the same time. They looked at me blankly.

I was in my labor pain. I knew he wasn't fine. I called him up to make sure he was doing well. But he never received my call. I couldn't call him more, because, at the same time, I meet the accident. And I don't know anything later. Until I saw myself in labor room with Viren by my side. I don't know anything later. I just saw my kids and named them. And then everything went blank.

Why do you ask? My dad asked totally puzzled after few minutes when they felt I can speak further.

Voh zarur suicide attempt tha. Par accident nae tha. I said in the daze.

Beta kya bol rahi ho? Hum vahi the. Tum ese kaisi ke sakthi ho? Voh accident nae. it was very much an accident. Dad was startled to learn new information about him.

Kyu ki voh ek murder tha.

Hum dono ko marne ka, Ek sath.

I in London and him in Dubai. I sound blunt to them. But that was the truth of past.

We aren't going to make this long ever. If Viren and Smitha wouldn't show up to save us.

My parents didn't speak for long. Where I lost my choice of words too badly when I learned the news about this. It shivered me. What was happening behind my back? I was never aware of. I thought it was an accident until I was aware of it.

I can't digest this now. Hum jo manthe the voh saach nae balki jhot tha. Mom slapped her forehead. She looked frustrated with new news she learned.

Tume kuch nae hu na? mom caressed my hairs tenderly with affection. I felt smooth and better when she did. I hugged her tightly. I need one warm hug from my mother to feel better. That it was over. We are here. We didn't die. We didn't.

We made it.

I had injuries but they couldn't be that successful to hurt me more because Viren was there to save me from another plan, which they made for me to kill. They got unsuccessful while I was wheeled to the hospital by him immediately. He was around me all time, they weren't successful to harm me anymore. They backed out as Sandeep was dead already. They didn't find anything in return for their work. So, they all left me alone for my own sake with my babies. I ended my side. As I battled to say next words. But I didn't have any choice but let them know, what was the truth.

I still can't believe they were successful to reach you no matter what. My dad rubbed his forehead with furiousness. He looked at me stressfully and his eyes hold guilt. I felt too sad seeing him like that.

Manik ko ye bath patha tha. He knew we both gonna die in an accident at the same time. He was aware of it. Usko sab tha. He knew even I was going to have a massive accident like him, which was nothing but a murder plan to kill both of us.

He knew we are not gonna make it again in this life. He knew I couldn't be escaped by death like him as he was not there to save me this time. I softened my voice. My whole body trembled in my mom's embrace, while she held me securely in her arms. What if? I just closed my eyes in pain. I didn't what to say further. I felt short of words. Maybe we would've died long back. Maybe we would've never met ever. Maybe we would've never become parents to wonderful kids. Maybe we would've never had a wonderful life with our loved ones again.

Es liye, Manik khud uss accident pe chal aay. He didn't want to live a life without me. He knew if he doesn't make or I don't make, we both gonna die together. He let destiny answer us.

And

We both survived. We did. We both are alive. I guess nothing says more than this, that we are destinated. We were destinated always. If not my Aiyyappa would've never given us second chance.

Our Destiny Was Fated With Each Other!!

I smiled finally, nothing couldn't apart us. Neither life nor death. We meant to live and survive until we meet together. And live happily.

And today, it was that day!!

Dad hugged us both in his arms tightly. We three cried. My feelings were mixed. Too mixed. I was happy we succeeded the storm but I felt my broken pieces when I got to know, my Manik walked to death for me. Just for me again. When he had all world chances to live without me.

Tears rolled my eyes. As they said sweet words to console me. I could only hug them in return. I felt better to put it out. I needed it. I felt relax. I was ready for anything at the moment. My confusing mind calmed a bit. My heart smiled in delight, finally, I heard my heart over my mind. I did.

Tho aage karna kya chathi ho? Mom enquired restlessly, she doesn't want to make any wrong. She was concern about me, every mother would be.

Aur tum yaad raklo, I won't let you do any wrong even if they did wrong. Tum humari beti ho, and I don't want my daughter involving in any wrong for any revenge. Saamji? I could not my head unwantedly.

And when are you planning to talk with Manik about this? I bit my lips nervously.

Kaal shayad. I said with thoughts.

Ab baas we'll talk everything some other time. I need some air to digest things. I nodded my head understandingly for my dad. Even I needed the same.

We sat silently for few minutes, but we all were disturbed by the butler who called us for dinner, that slipped out of my head that we were in Malhotra Mansion people were waiting for us for dinner. I tagged behind my parents.

I looked around to find a seat next to Manik, he had reserved one for me beside him in between him and Vishwas. I walked right near to my place as I occupied my place, giving small smile to Vishwas bhai, who returned one for me.

Kaha thi? Mani pulled my wrist to get my attention.

Bahar beti thi. He glanced at me.

Aur ro bhi rahi thi. He added my unsaid words. He didn't like this one bit, I could see in his eyes. I looked at him softly.

Manik, uss kane dega kya? Neyonika aunty questioned him, he let go of my hand as an answer for her indirectly but he was still not done with me or I was. We gonna talk sooner or later about this. I won't let him have his way this time.

Nandini. Kaho. I was served with my favorite dish. I looked at aunty in surprise and amusement, she just smiled at me.

Tumari pasand haina. Kaake bathau kaisa hai? She questioned me. I smiled at her, what if we both wouldn't have made it, we would've broken so many hearts. Neyonika aunty would've been torn without Manik.

At least apne mom ke bare mai soch le the Manik. You could've thought about her. Before embracing death for a girl, who doesn't deserve a bit it.

I had a bite of Mexican pasta, I turned to her say it was very delicious and I liked it very much. I thanked her. I felt guilty for a mother. She had gone through so much in front of her, I feel horrible on myself. I wish you would've lived for her, Manik. Than taking any hasty decision for me.

##

Nandini has something to say. My eyes popped out when Manik said that. I looked at him horrified than kids, who were sitting next to Manik. Abhay just glanced us as he ate ice cream to keep himself cool, he didn't want to put up a scene or he was liking what was coming next. Avni just brushed like she didn't care any.

You better know your priorities, Ms. Murthy? I heard from my heart.

I held Manik's hand in mine to stop him but it was too late as everyone was looking at me with a mixed expression. He just looked at me calmly.

I'm there. You can openly say what you want. His voice was gentle whispered, he was no angry anymore. Or irritated. I cringed at his feelings and tone. I want him to act impulsively like me in once in blue moon.

Kya bolna hai tume? Sanskar it was. He walked out of guest room hearing Manik.

Voh. Voh. I turned to Manik and took a glimpse of my children. None turned to me, but Manik held my hands in his gently.

She wants to go with you all to your home, Am I right? He said my words as relaxed as he can. My tongue was tied. I asked for it. Didn't I?

Just great!! My mind screamed at me sarcastically.

Wow! That's awesome. The twin jumped in delight. My parents looked at me, they know what was my feelings. They just smiled without a word. They knew what I wanted, can't they say anything for me. Urggg. I was frustrated at my own impulsive decision. Our suno apne dimag.

She gonna come. Sanskar hugged me from behind. He rocked me in his arms, I smiled at his happiness nervously.

That's good to hear. we all looked Raj uncle but his eyes were on Manik. He scoffed at his son, where he just smirked in return. What the hell going on between them?

You can actually be with your parents. That's very good. He said to me with double meaning, I was so done to solve anything, so, I simply nodded my head uninterested. I was really not pleased with this man. Nothing changed my feelings towards him.

I just passed a smile to everyone. I was stuck. Wasn't I? I mentally scolded Manik for the word he said. But wasn't it, my own decision. I wanted to go to my parents home. He let me go with my wish.

But!!

I didn't want to go to my parents home anymore. I wanted to go to my home. My family. My kids. My man. That's what I wish from my heart.

Aiyyappa, help me. I cried mentally.

##

Let's get going we are getting late. Sanskar pulled me with him. He was excited that he wasn't paying attention to my words nor my feelings. I sighed mentally. Yelling at him for not understanding me. What am I supposed to do? I don't want to hurt them nor my family, who were standing behind me to bid a bye to me.

I looked at my kids, who were in Manik's arms securely. Abhay was adamant to not to look me. He was mad at me, he couldn't process being away from me. Even he didn't talk a bit to me. I felt so bad for making them go through. And Avni, she was just looking me in hope. She was just silent in Manik's arm. My smile didn't really smile at me like she always does.

I gazed Manik. He just smiled at me, his eyes were solid blank. Stop me damn it! I yelled at him in my mind. Aiyyappa, make him stop me. Please. Pretty please. I promise, dubara es bekuf nae karungi.

Kids, why don't come along us? You can stay with your mamma and us. My eyes still fixed with my kids. My dad tried his best. But they remained cold for any offer made by my parents.

No thank you. We love to stay with your father. In our home. You can definitely take her. Abhay it was. He was cold at my decision. Yet very determined in his words. He stuck to his words from the very beginning. He wasn't going to leave Manik's side no matter what with Avni by his side. I sighed. Why can't I speak for myself? When none can help me?

Par. Mom tried her luck.

Let them be. I'll take care of them. Manik assured my parents. He was weak but not that weak for not carrying his kids or not to take care of kids.

I walked at snail speed, waiting for Manik Malhotra to stop me. But no, he doesn't do anything than looking me going away. I gritted my teeth at him when I titled my head towards him. He just stood holding babies in his arms securely. You better stop me, other I won't be allowing you to touch me, Manik Malhotra. I warned him mentally. Yet the boy looked calmly at me. Arghh.

Say bye to, your Mamma. Manik told kids lovingly. They just glared him return with me. I scoffed at him. I just want to wipe off that soft Manik from his system and bring back Monster Manik of mine, who wouldn't let anyone take me away from him. No matter what the fuck is.

I climbed to passenger seat giving a glance to them. They aren't going to stop me. Are they?

Hell no. My heart yelled at me aggressively. Well, my heart was no less in this matter. She was mad at me for making such a rash decision without thinking about my family. My heart was annoyed that my mind won over it again. But will I let it win again?

Hell no again. I screamed myself.

I heard Sanskar starting the car. What the fudge? I looked in the rare mirror. I could see Abhay clinging Manik tightly, while Avni was just looking hopefully at cars direction. I swear, I'm not going to break my kid's heart ever for my happiness or anyone's happiness. It's them always. Will always be them.

Let others think whatever they want.

Stop the car. I said softly at him as tears formed in my eyes. As I looked smile wiping her tears as she hugged Manik tightly. It's so not Avni, She won't cry unless it hurts her badly. My daughter needs me. And the hell with my insecurities. I won't let them win over my kid's tears.

I'm sorry. I'll make it up but for me, they are always important. My kids. My Mani. They need me. I need them. I can't choose you above them. I'm sorry. I apologized to my parents turning back. As I held my tears. Nothing in the world was so important to me than them. Nothing can ever be. Not even my birth parents. My family is important to me.

Good night. I didn't wait for any replies after I saw assuring eyes and appreciating smile, from my parents. Where Sanskar was ready to bust with Swara. But I didn't really hear. I just opened the door ran to them manically. If they can't stop me, I can do it for them always.

Abhay just ran to me as he saw me coming to them. He threw himself on me. I held my baby boy in my arms. He looked happy like never before. He needs his mamma all time just for him. And I can never fail him for that.

You aren't going. Are you? He choked as he asked me with a hope.

Never. I kissed him. As I walked to my little family. Where father was smirking and daughter was gaping at him with teary eyes still. They should be happy I'm back. Shouldn't they? I gave confused gaze to them.

Aren't you happy? I asked them sarcastically. Aren't the same people who were crying and smiling assuring at my departure. Understanding them sucks. I tell you.

Of course Baby. Manik sucked my lips in front of everyone. I was just shocked by his gesture. I never expected that but a damn homely hug from him.

You made me happy, Haina baby Pumpkin? He smirked at her. I turned my head to Avni, she closed her mouth as Manik chinned it up for her. She turned to me all amazed, she suddenly looked happy at my return.

I love you, Mamma. She threw herself at me, where I carried my babies in my arms. I feel complete now. They are the definition of my home. I looked at him he just engulfed us in harms. And this makes me happy than anywhere. This is what I need. Them.

End of Nandini's Pov

##

Manik's Pov

She will go!

She will not go!!

She will go!

She will not go!!

Hell with it, even if she goes. I'm going to my in-laws home and threw her up on my shoulder and walk out.

Like I let them take her away from me. I scoffed internally.

Papa, do something. I don't want her to go leaving us. Abhay cried in my arms. I just held him closely. I swear Murthy if you are making my kids cry more or make them helpless, you are gonna see my wrath too badly. I gritted my teeth but held my face with a smile for her. Swear to God, it took so much to stand there doing nothing. When my babies are crying for her.

Nandini Manik Malhotra you better get down from the car. If not, I'm going to pull you out any minute. I don't even care what fuck other think.

Are you seriously letting her go? It was my dad, who was gaping at me in shock. Who won't? He knows very well, that I letting her go is like the cheapest dream of the century.

Papa, Stop mamma. I need her. She can't leave me and go anywhere. I want mamma. That's it. Avni demanded with the choking voice of her. She had tears in her eyes. That was very first I saw her crying for Nandini. She is more like my princess. But only if I know, how much Avni loves her. I realized Avni can never survive herself without her Mother. Fuck! I was damn jealous. But I knew this was going to come.

Get down! If you don't want to see Monster, Nandini!! I screamed mentally at her.

Papa, Please. Abhay pleaded with teary eyes me, I felt like running to moving the car and throw her on my shoulders, when it stops. And never let her get out of our home ever. How dare she asks me for a break from us? How dare she?

She needs a good lesson for asking for a break from me. She better got a lesson from me.

To never mess with my patience.

Suddenly Avni looked at me with widened eyes. I gazed her confusingly. For fuck sake! I don't want her to read my mind.

She isn't going to leaving us. Am I right? I gulped at her. She can't be so smart. Stop doing that you, pumpkin.

Well, I guess you are right? Our Mamma won't leave us and go anywhere.

Mamma!! Abhay got down as he saw his mother running towards us. Such a mamma's boy.

Finally, My lessons did work for her. Dare she does that again with us. She better be ready for punishment from me.

You knew it. I turned to my daughter. Gave her my famous victory smirk. She gaped at me.

And you think, I'll let her go. When I fuck know she couldn't go leaving us behind no matter what fuck is. I said with my gritted teeth. Still, my smirk didn't lose any charm.

I should have known this. You wasted my precious tears. I hate you for this Papa. She yelled at me, still tears in her chocolate orbs. I feel sorry for my babies for making do them this. Warna voh wapas ane nae wali thi.

Aren't you happy? She asked them sarcastically. I wish, I say what I was feeling right now. But I was happy, she was back by herself with her willing than me pulling her back to my arms forecully. I guess giving into her wish really wasn't bad as I know, nothing was more important to her than us. She proved it to me.

Of course Baby. I sucked her lips in front of everyone. She never knew that was coming. But I was so happy to mind what was others think. I just want to shower her with my love that's it.

You made me happy, Haina baby Pumpkin? I smirked at her. I turned my head to Avni, she closed her mouth as I chinned it up for her. She turned to me all amazed and surprised, she suddenly looked happy at me.

And do you think I'll let my babies cry?

Fucking No.

I love you, Mamma. She threw herself at Nandini, where she carried my babies in her arms. Aww! that's my little world. I just engulfed them in my arms.

I made them settle in the back seat as I asked for a driver to drive our car. I'm not gonna drive or I'm leaving Nandini to drive. So, I demanded a driver from my dad. Who nodded his head after huge banter of Sanskar, who cribbed when he learned his twin isn't going with him. But he reluctantly nodded his head at his parents, when they explained Nandini's need in our home. I do know, he will come up with some ideas to take her with him. And I know how to tackle that idiotic best friend of mine.

I bide bye to Kirloskar's with an evil smile, that's how you hit two targets with one stone. Ab lekarja ho meri biwi ko, baade aye muje permission dene vale, meri biwi se milne. Ab aap log mujse permission loge. To take my wife anywhere with you. Aur dusri ye madam, sabaak sikna tha muje, uski dimak ko. Jo ese buri ideas dethe hai, humesha.

I never met someone so evil than you. I smiled at my dad victory.

Kiya kaise tune? He questioned me.

That's called reverse psychology. Jo tume malum nae hai. I grinned at him, he just scoffed back.

Voh bhi mai sochu, how did you let her go? But then I realized, you let her go because you know she can't go anywhere without her kids by her side. And importantly you never offered her to take kids with her, says it all. How she came back for you all. You are so mean. My could only laugh at him with joy and happiness. I patted at my smartness.

Aap bohuth smart hai. I patted fakely my father's back, he glared at me. But eventually laughed with me.

You just fooled everyone. Damn it! And they haven't realized yet. Mom gave us creepy look as she was taking with kids and Nandini who were in car little away from us.

And they will never. I bit my lips to control my growing smirk. I can't let them know. That would cost a fortune to me.

Bye. Good night, Cherry. I kissed my sister's cheek, who was talking with her daughter. She really didn't hear, Her attention was captured by her daughter and Vishwas, who was walking to and fro to make their daughter not cry anymore. They are staying at Mansion till my wedding, even Vishwas agreed for the same. And nothing can make my parents happy than this.

Good night. And we are meeting tomorrow. She kissed my cheeks in hurry. While I bid bye to everyone as I settled down in the back seat with Nandini, where my kids behind us in the back seat of our car.

Finally. She just jumped on my lap. I held her securely in arms, and from here on, I won't dear to give her a break again or leave her alone. If did, I end up having to do things which I don't want to do, to get her back to me. I know it was childish of me but I couldn't imagine my life without her. And I can go any extent to make her stay with me. This was just nothing.

Happy? I turned back and asked them. Their madness disappeared in the air. They were grinning happily at us. And I can do any damn thing to keep them happy. Even it meant tricking Nandini Manik Malhotra too. I just need my babies happy. And I keep them above everything. Above us.

Very. Abhay put his hands around my neck from behind. I just giggled at his act, where Nandini cuddled herself on my lap. Where Avni glared him fakely, while she jumped from her seat to our seat. Grinning at Abhay, who gaped at her act. She threw herself on Nandini's arms, who collected her lovingly. My baby pumpkin is too happy. I kissed her hairs, where she kissed my cheeks in return.

Ye cheating hai. Abhay cribbed from behind as Nandini gave her attention to Avni's complaint. Where my daughter stuck her tongue out towards him. This two aren't going to change for any good.

I pulled Nandini close to me and she settled herself on my crook. I smiled looking at her. Man, She looks beautiful. It's been so long that I held her in my arms. In return she molded more to me, Avni slept keeping her head on Nandini's lap.

I heard Abhay's wail, I titled my head towards him, he whined at me, he wanted to be with his Mamma. I held out my long right hand towards him, he held it in his soft left hand, he carefully jumped to our seat, making sure not to keep his leg on his baby sister, who made little space for him. Where Nandini gladly opened her arms widely for him. I could only smile at their cute things. I kissed his hairs when he held my right hand tightly in his.

They gonna clung to us too badly till they are satisfied that we aren't leaving them. And we both want to prove them and make them secure this time. We don't let things go in flow this time. But we'll made it ourselves.

None talked anything. It was peaceful silent. I lean to rest my head. I was tired, while my eyes stuck outside. It was drizzling outside and Mumbai looked fresh and delight to me. Adding to it, water splashing out the ocean made the environment more lively. Sending me peace. I love this part of Mumbai. But I love the most is, my apartment is just opposite to such scenic beauty. I smiled in blissfully when I felt doodling on my either hands, one was Mamma other was Mamma's baby girl.

Baba, we are here. I heard the driver. I nodded my head. As I gently woke up all three. I got down from the car, I opened the door wide open for them to get down. Much to my surprise, kids attached themselves to Nandini's arms. I just nodded my head with a sweet smile. They want their Mamma, I'm gonna give them. I closed the door gently as I walked behind them. Where she carried them effortlessly. I have never seen her pick both at the same time, it was either of them. I'm pretty impressed. She is a strong woman.

I opened apartment door for them, they got in as I locked the door behind me. I gently pushed Nandini's shoulder towards the kitchen. She looked back in amused. Well, they settled as I pulled out the cake from fridge again. My kid's eyes twinkled back making me happier.

Who wants cake? I kept on the slab, as I stuck some fresh candles on that again. Waited for their response. One was ready to pull out his share of a piece, but Nandini slapped his hands. I lite candles. We all blew them gently. Our smile didn't leave our lips. I made kids eat their piece of cake as I was made to eat by Nandini. It felt complete.

This is what I came back for. This little family of mine. And I feel I did right.

Even it is wrong. But nothing mattered me, then keeping them with me. I fear to lose my family, I really don't want to lose them for any stupid insecurity of us.

I'm selfish Man than anyone could imagine when it comes to my family. I can give my life to save them at the same time I trick them to stay with me. With wish or without their wish. They aren't leaving Manik Malhotra. Period!!

##

Ahem. Ahem. I frowned as I looked behind. While I covered canvas immediately. I don't want to get caught by her at any cost. I could hear footsteps nearing me. I cursed as I was so not successful to cover the canvas from Avni's expertise eyes.

Nice painting though, Mr. Malhotra. She smirked at me devilishly. Is she not suppose to sleeping with Abhay? But no, she needs to peak in and out of Maa's room in the apartment.

Thank you. I tried to cover the painting. But she threw the covers in the air. She looked mad again. God! please, not again.

Trying to be smart with me. She can't be serious about reading my mind. Is she? If, she is successfully winning the game of her's.

Smart? I? Pumpkin, kya bol rahi ho? Two can play the game. Right?? I picked up the white cover, which she threw. She glared me back. I gulped my lump.

Vahi jo ye painting bol raha hai. You think I let go of this. You wasted my precious tears and made me mad. I letting you go not happening daddy Malhotra. Dare you never make Avni angry. If done, Mubark ho apko.

If by chance Mamma gets to know you just tricked her with her feelings. She gonna sue for sure. She was insanely crazy at me. I pouted.

Avni, I'm sorry for making you cry. But please apne mamma ko kuch math batho. Pretty please. I pleaded. She gave pointed look to me. She was really not into the game with me.

What will I get in return? She wants me to bribe her. I frowned at the thought.

What do you want? I asked cautiously.

I'm going to help you with wedding locations. My eyes popped out. How the fuck she knows that.

How do you know? I questioned her. She is beyond smartness. Playing with her is like keeping your hands near the flame, which is fascinating you by its brightest shade towards it. Only when you touch, you the intensity of it. It's so Avni. Innocent to the world, but something dangerous is hidden behind the innocence only you will know when you go near her. So, like Nandini.

I happen to hear them a month back when you were talking with your dad in your office. She rocked her head victoriously. I thought I was the winner of the game but it turned out to be my daughter again. I puffed.

You're so evil. I commented on her. She lifted her invisible collar at me.

Born to be evil. She giggled, I just joined her. Mind to remind me she was just ten. She tricked me again. What will she do? when is she actually twenty? She will trick the whole world. I pray for the man, who holds her hand for the lifetime. He needs to be a strong headed man to deserve her. A simple man can never win her over ever. I pity the man, already.

Can I have this painting in my room? She softly brushed her hands against painting. I lean on the table behind me. She looked so innocent. I smiled at her.

When I complete them, I myself will hang it in your room. Is that fine? She bobbed her head happily.

Now tell me, How did you actually got to know that I tricked your mom? It was one billionaire question to me.

That was very simple.

This painting said to me!! I cringed my eyebrows. I waited for her response.

It was reverse psychology. If I'm not wrong? I better admit her to psychology than any school.

Well, it's simple. When the person isn't willing to do things according to your desires. You use reverse psychology, which you did with mom. Bichari ko abhi tak patha nae chala. My sympathies are for my sweet mamma. I glared at her for her drama.

I imagine, apne mamma ko roka nae hoga, you let her take a decision, you never stopped her, ye sab mera imagination. Am I right in my imagination. I reluctantly agreed with her. Fuck! I purposely never stopped her.

I pat my back myself in appreciation as your not doing anything but gaping at your awesome daughter. I rolled my eyes at her. She is too much now.

And I also clearly remember you said her words more than her. You pestered her to stick to her words. When she clearly wants opposite of her own sentence, when she realised she was wrong. You caged her in your words. Where she doesn't know how to come out of her own ties, which she thinks, she tied. Which was highly wrong to think. Because it was you, who tied her with her own words. I slapped my own forehead. Why can't she says in simple words. It looks and sounds complicated for me. And they say, she is ten. I'm never going to believe.

I better join you to college with Nandini rather than sending you to school with Abhay. And the branch your going to join is psychology. I was totally pissed as she is better at reading humans. She was completely enjoying my this side.

Perks of being Manik Malhotra's daughter. I take your offer. I'll join college because you can't stop me to date any guy. Right? I glared at her. She giggled more. Much to my uncontrollable nerves.

And you want to join college to date the guys? I crossed my arms over my chest. I gave challenging look to her.

As if you mind. Remember you said, you'll be my crime partner to know about my crushes and there addresses if needed. I opened my mouth wide and closed as it was the truth. I promised her that I'll be there like a friend more than dad. When she dates someone. I can't favoritism on my boy alone. Justice will be served equally with my kids. If I let my boy date, my daughter is going to have the same right. Period!

For now, you better go to school without using your so smart brain. I said sternly, she pouted at me displeased.

Fine.

(Painting credits go to owner- though the circumstances is entirely different from the story being told in the painting. I'm using this painting for my pov purpose- sorry in advance for usage and story- I don't any right of this painting)

Waise this painting really doesn't says reverse psychology. It says more about your fight with emotions. Especially with mind and heart. It is about confused souls, who don't know what to chose. It's war between mind and soul, it is a conflict between them in given situation. In this situation, soul or heart wins over the mind. Because of the negativity or insecurity in our mind can't win over the pure and sensitive emotions of heart and soul. It is too deep and intense that nothing can win over it. The ultimate winner is the one, who wins over every negative side of his/her. And your mamma one that battle between her mind and soul, today. Her soul own the match today because she can't choose anything beyond you people. I walked to her as explained here. She nodded her head understandingly.

I may add here. The situation I chose was reverse psychology. So that she fights with her own demons for us. I let her chose us rather than her insecurities. Yes, I tricked her with my smartness, by giving into her desires, because I know ultimately my own desires gonna win, and she'll make me win. I had that trust in her love for us. Nothing was so important or dear to her than me or my kids to her. So, I just gave in, even though I was burning inside when she asked me for a break.

Suddenly, I remembered this concept, which once my dad used on me to pull me out of the shell when I disappeared for nine months. He knew how to deal with me when things didn't come handy to him. He used this trick on me. He was succeeded mostly. So, I did the same today. Well, I don't want to agree, but I just followed his footsteps to gain her back just like he did to gain me back. I don't find it wrong if others find it. I did to get back her, that's it.

Now, tell me. I'm in or out for selecting wedding locations. She smirked at me evilly. I scoffed being blackmailed. She is still, not done.

You are in baby. I kissed her cheeks. I picked her in my arms while heading to her room, I saw Abhay's room empty. I cringed and looked at Avni.

I'm going to sleep with you if he is sleeping in your room. I don't take 'no'. She ordered me. I sighed made my way to our bedroom. Where I can clearly hear giggled from the balcony. I walked further to see them. Only to see Mamma and Mamma's boy playing with raindrops, which was hitting towards our balcony. They look so adorable. Feel like gobbling them upon for their cuteness.

I also want to play. Avni rushed towards them. I let her go as their splashing started on each other. Their giggle made peace in me, which was so disturbed hours back. Finally, my third wish from do-list is done. Nandini's isn't going to her parents home any sooner. Until things get better between us. I sighed in relief.

Manii. I was rewarded with the hand full of water splash on my face. I groaned as I did same with my dear wife. Her punishment gonna start sooner. Be ready to face my tantrums, Mrs. Malhotra. You gonna have great days ahead.

##

I was slowly going to slumber, while I could hear Nandini's background story-telling to kids. Who were near sleep like me. I just needed sleep after one tiring day. A long day it was for me. God, I never knew, I can be this multi-talented in one single day. Ufff.

I slept on my stomach. I could soundly sleep now. No banter from Nandini's side. And no pacifying session for my kids. Now, I can focus on the wedding preparations peacefully. And rest can go in flow. I just hope everything goes correct according to her dream with my kids wishes. I relaxed myself on bed, when I felt bed going up from another side.

I felt bed going deep but this time was beside me.

Manik. I opened my eyes lazily for her.

Take me in. I wide opened my right arm for her to get inside. She happily clapped like a school girl. I smiled at my baby wife. I kissed her forehead in return I was rewarded with homely cuddle from her. I just don't want anything else.

We just gazed each other until our lips touched with a smile as our lips.

Why didn't you stopped me? What if I didn't come back by myself? What would've you have done?? She really wanted me answer this question. If only she knows the truth.

I suppose, I remember your parents address better than you. If you happen to go to your parents home. You gonna hope yourself in this home by the end of the next hour. Because I ain't leaving you stay there more than that. You better remember that Mrs. Malhotra. I warned her back. If she happens to step out of the home again.

I better make her parents stay with her in our home than sending her to my in-laws home.

Hey wait, that sounds better option to me. My mind said me. I nodded still not being sure. Let's think this later. I better make this girl realize what are the consequences if she happens to repeats this.

What are you doing? I tried not moan or feel nervous at the same hot suddenly. God, she knows to play with my monster.

I felt her hands going deep inside my boxer. Fuck!!!

She had her hands on her desired place. I bloody need more of it. I want her to take me into her mouth. Do wonders from her tongue and hands over it. And pleasure me with heaven. Manik Malhotra stop being horny- I screamed at my hormones. I was slipping into her ways.

I closed my eyes to control myself. I started breathing uneven. I started feeling butterflies jumping inside my stomach. I felt tingling sensation all over. It was like my whole body caught up by fire. As her hands did magic.

Shit!!! Stop it women. I semi yelled at her in passion. I can't just let her win always. And mostly, I don't want us to get caught up by kid's. It will be highly embarrassment for us for sure.

Should I baby? Say sorry for not stopping me. She chewed my lobe gently. I fucking knew what we both gonna end up. But I'm not gonna let her have this way.

Not going to happen. I screamed in her ears as I gently placed her on her early place but this time I took hold her hands in mine. She makes me feel heaven in that. She makes crazy with them.

Manii, I can feel you. She teased me back, when I caged her back. I guess cold shower will do.

I know. I muttered, while she started rubbing herself against my sword. God, she can't be this serious to seduce me as the punishment for not stopping her. I felt hardness. I closed eyes to control my hormones. But nothing was helping. A bad release is indeed. I was sexually frustrated now.

How bad my day can end??

Will you stop doing that? I can feel them growing in my boxer as she did the best by rubbing her core against it. It was like I'm ready explode any moment.

You wish, my baby. She animatedly blinked her eyes innocently. Fuck!!!!! I'm so dead with her sexual experiments. Tonight.

Today is just not my night. I felt it badly. As I stood under cold shower. Where I could hear Nandini's curses before me. I smiled at her annoyance when she walked to and fro in front of naked form. But she hardly got to touch me again.

Dude! Your making fuse out of our intimacy. Like seriously. She sounded more like desperate to me. I smirked joyfully.

Yeah, that's your punishment baby. I pushed my long hairs. Her eyes scanned entire birth form but shy away much to my surprise and amusement. Adding to her red hue cheeks is like cherry on the top. She looked stunning in my white shirt alone. I knew nothing was inside. Her bare skin was just covered with my shirt alone, topping to it only middle two buttons were done, rest were undone. I could see everything, she wanted me to see. Fuck!! That thought makes me hard and aroused. I badly need of release inside her. Only if I didn't given her any punishment, things would've been very different. She would be screaming my name by now, having her countless rounds with me.

For how long? She gulped looking at my growing member. I turned completely to opposite, I don't want myself to break the punishment, which I had led myself.

As much as I want. I stood before shower while water poured on my face. Letting her in the bathroom was my mistake. Oh! Wait I didn't let her in, she let herself inside the bathroom. Sounds so not her but Me. Desperate!

I wish I never asked a break from you. She slumped herself on the floor. I giggled at her frustration. I threw my head backwards in pleasure. Satisfying yourself isn't bad idea, for hell sake.

You better remember, never to ask break from me or ignore me. You, highly gonna pay for it. I meant my words for her. She groaned looking at me. She was really not pleased with scene, she witnessed so was I.

I'll remember that. She meek out, while I had release finally. For which she groaned back. I chuckled mischievously.

Was show satisfying? I bite my lips to control my giggle. Where she was completely baffled at the same irritated with me. As I didn't let her have her ways with me this time.

You, better pray this as your last time. I won't let you do that again. She screamed back. And pressed her lips against me. I giggled mentally. When she took entire control.

It is always fun to play with kitten.

A wild kitten!!!!
