" mmmmm, kaha hu mai aur horn kyu baj rahe hain? "

Manik questioned himself and then the realisation hit him that last night he slept in the middle of the highway itself.

He rubbed his eyes and parked his car at a side.

" Kal jo bhi hua uske baad mujhe ghar nahi jana hai. Unlogo ka samna nahi karna hai.

Thode din kahi aur reh leta hoon, i need to calm myself down or I'll again burst on them.

Ha ek kaam karta hoon hotel me rehta hu. Jaha pe sirf mai aur Nandini ki yaadein hogi.
Aaj mai usse bohot saari baatein karunga koi nahi hoga hame disturb karne wala. "

Saying this he drove to one of the 7 stars hotels of Mumbai.

He parked his car and entered in with the same Manik Malhotra attitude.

" I need a suit for myself for the next 5 to 6 days "
Manik told the receptionist.

But the receptionist was busy eyeing Manik lustily.

Manik again repeated the same line. she was lost in her dream land it seemed.
Having enough Manik said.

" You are appointed here to work and not to do what you're doing right now, do you want me to talk to your manager "
It was as if, everyone were on a mission to test Manik's patience.

" I...i am really very sorry sir, i was thinking... thinking about something really important "
She was lying ofcourse.

" Book me a luxury suit "
Manik ordered.

" Sorry sir but we only have 5 luxury suits which are already booked "

" What? you dont have a suit for me and who booked all the suits? "
Manik was mad pissed now because why'd someone book all the rooms of a 7 star hotels.

" Sir it's the owner of one of the famous music company, our female foreign guest "
She informed Manik.

" I don't know, i need a suit right now "
Manik ordered.

Seeing the intensity of his anger she checked once again and luckily she found one to be empty, she thanked her stars today.

" Sir fortunately we have one, I'll book it under your name "

" You just wasted my time, do it as soon as possible , and give me back my cards "

She gave him his card and Manik left from there.

M A N I K

Who's she? A Music Industry owner, that too a girl.

She proved girls are no less than boys, might be a big shot, that's why she managed to book four luxurious rooms in one of the best 7 stars hotel in Mumbai.

Interesting.
..........

Knock knock

Here comes Betty she knocked the door all ready with her luggage as they have their flight at 11 pm.

" Come in Betty "
came an instant reply from Nandini.

She entered inside and saw Ifra playing with bruno her soft toy. She quickly took Ifra in her arms.

" How is my baby bear "
She asked hugging Ifra tightly.

" Gool " (good)
Ifra replied giggling as Betty tickled her a little.

" You're looking so cute my love "
Betty complimented Ifra, showering her with kisses.

" thantoo "
Ifra thanked her with a hearty giggle at the end.

" Are you excited to visit India? "
Betty asked her baby bear.

" Yesh yesh yesh "
Ifra nodded her head too.

" What all are you going to do there? "
Betty was way too excited to visit India.

" Mamma, glandpa ...... glandma, mamu, play
with ifla. "
( Mamma, grandpa grandma, mamu,and Ifra will play together )
Ifra said cutely as she counted the number of people on her tiny little fingers.

" You'll not play with me? "
Betty said dramatically making a crying face.

but Ifra being a sweetheart kissed Betty on her cheeks and said

" no cly cly Ifla play "
How can Ifra forget to play with her Betty Tetty?

" Awww, you're the cutesttttt doll in the world "
Ifra was shy now as she hid her face in Betty's shoulder.

" Where is mamma? "
asked Betty playing with Ifra's fingers.

Ifra pointed towards the walk in closet side and said possessively.

" Ifla'sh mamma"

" Haha, yes only Ifra's
mamma "
Betty laughed at how possesive Ifra was for Nandini.

Here comes the beautiful lady with long hair, dressed in black Indian outfit looking sinfully gorgeous.

" Oh my god who is this beautiful stranger? "
Betty looked amused after looking at Nandini, she wore Indian after a long.

" Ohhhh drama queen this is your sister Nandini Murthy okay? By the way how am i looking? "
Nandini asked showing Betty the details of her outfit.

"Damn! You looking gorgeous"
Betty hyped Nandini up, who looked very pretty as usual.

" Thank you Betty "

Thanking Betty, Nandini moved towards Ifra and took her in her arms she took her make up pouch and removed Ifra's cream.

While applying the cream, she asked Betty

" Did you book the hotel where we'll be staying? "

" Yes i have spoken to the manager personally, he has done all the arrangements properly "
Betty replied as she scrolled through her phone, checking for any last minute arrangements.

" You booked suits for David, Rebel, Jenny and Ryna right? "
Nandini knew Betty would've already done it, she was just confirming.

David and rebel they are her male bodyguards and jenny and ryna are the female ones.

" Yes yes i have booked, i knew this question was coming "
Said Betty.

" Betty they work hard to keep me and Ifra protected, it is my duty to look after their needs."

Betty knew how much Nandini cared for everyone around her, just put up a mask of strictness.

" Tufyyyyy "
Nandini called.

" Yes ma'am? "

" Tufy could you please bring the boxes and tiffins which i told you to prepare? "
Nandini asked politely.

Within a minute or two Tufy brought it gave it to Nandini.

The boxes contained, cereals of Ifra which weren't available in India and the containers had fruits in it.

" Thank you so much for your service Tufy, you were always a loyal one, we'll miss you. Please take good care of this mansion and don't worry I'll be returning soon. "
Nandini thanked Tufy.

" Ma'am thanks to you too, you appointed me, and don't take tension, i'll take care of your mansion, we'll miss you and Ifra baby. "
Saying this Tufy left.

Nandini opened a tiffin box and said

" Ifra mumma ki jaan aa karo, fruits khao jaan "

But Ifra as always snuggled into Nandini not wanting to eat the fruits.

" Jaan aaj nahi please, kuch nahi khaya hai apne, aur abhi india jana haina aapko, aur waha jake khelna hai toh energy chahiye, open your mouth let mamma feed you baby "

But Ifra snuggled into Nandini more and slowly was dozing off.

Nandini got to know about ifra's antics she quickly took her in laps and said.

" Jaan sona nahi, kuch khao aur phir sleepy karenge pakka, accha fruits nahi chahiye toh mamma ka feedy peelo baby. "

But Ifra dozed off, she was already very sleepy.

" You saw na Betty, she doesn't want to have anything, in the afternoon after playing in the patio, she got tired, i asked her to sleep but she wanted me to talk to her which i was more than ready to do.

She only wants to play and talk, food always becomes a long forgotten business "

Nandini was always very worried about Ifra's health.

" Let it be Nandu, once she wakes up she'll be fresh and she'll have something "
Betty assured Nandini.

After sometimes Nandini saw ifra sleeping peacefully she made her sleep on the bed and adjusted the duvet on the other side Betty lied beside Ifra and was surfing through her phone.

Nandini got up , carried all the boxes and packed it in their luggage, she took the tiffin boxes and other essentials of her and Ifra and kept it in her handbag . She packed Cotton clothes for Ifra as in India the climate is really hot and Ifra would get irritated with heavy dresses and could also get rashes, imagining ifra getting rashes she closed her eyes and prayed to Aiyappa for Ifra's good health.

" Nandini do you need any help? "
asked Betty.

" ahah! No Betty it's okay, you are working since the morning, take some rest. "

She took a glance and saw Ifra scrunching her nose in sleep she immediately walked towards her and again put her to sleep.

After that she stood before mirror and did light make up with kohl filled eyes she let her hair open and wore beautiful silver colour jhumkas.

" Samandar se gehra, dil me dard basta hain,

kehna toh bohot kuch hain, lekin ye dil nahi manta hain,

sirf itna kehna chahungi tujhse aye yaar,

ye mere adhure ishq ki adhuri dastaan hain "

- Mahek <3

N A N D I N I

Kehne ko toh bohot kuch hai par, dar lagta hai kahi mai phirse weak ho gayi toh? Kahi logon ne mere dard ka mazaak bana diya toh?

Phirse hasna chahti hu mai, aisa nahi hai ki mai khush nahi hu, bas mujhe apne parivaar ki bohot yaad aati hai.

Meri zindagi (ifra) mere saath hai bas meri family ki kami hai. Aaj hum ja rahe hai India. Mai bohot emotional hu iss waqt, bohot si yaadein judi hain iss ghar se, iss ghar ne meri zindagi ke kayi ups and downs dekhe hai. Haste hue dekha hain, rote hue dekha hain.

Meri Ifra ki hasi ki aawaz suni hai, mera aashiyana suna ho jayega humare jane ke baad. Meri ifra ki yaadein judi hai iss ghar ke saath. Uske pehle kadam, uske pehle words. Sab kuch yaha chupa hai. Mera aur meri Ifra ka chota sa jaha.

Par koi nahi, mai apni family se milne ke baad aur deal complete karne ke baad phir aa jaungi apne aashiyane me.

" Nandini are you crying "
Betty all of a sudden kept a hand on my shoulder and asked me.

" No, no Betty it's just that something went in my eyes i guess. "
I was a very bad lier as always.

" Do you think ,i am a fool or something, i am your goddamm sister Nandu, i know when you cry and when you laugh okay? I know you will be missing this house but after the deal and after meeting your family you can come here anytime you want right? "
She assured me as she took me in a hug.

" Yess Betty tetty "
I said cutely and both of us chuckled.

After some time, i called the workers and asked them to load the luggage in the car.

I kept my mobile in the handbag and after wearing my favorite ck watch, i came to Ifra and lovingly picked her up in my arms. I caressed our pictures which consists of Ifra's cute antic pictures, Ifra's first birthday, my and Ifra's picture.

Reaching down stairs i informed the workers to take good care of the mansion especially Ifra's bedroom after that i bid them bye and moved out.

We stepped inside my private jet and got settled.

After sometimes Ifra started to wake me up, i was really worried as this was the first time Ifra was travelling for such a long journey. It will take almost 16 hours to reach India.

But the advantage was we had a bedroom in our private jet.

" My baby is up? "
I pecked each and every feature of Ifra's facs.

" Mamma "
the waking up ritual of calling her mamma was done by my baby.

" Jee meri jaan mamma yahi hai Adora "

" How was your sleep jaana ? "
I asked pushing her hair backwards.

" Gool " ( Good )
Ifra replied yawning a little.

" Chalo abhi hungry hona aap? Bolo kya khana hai batao mamma ko, kuch banaye mamma aapke liye? "
and again i got no answer, she literally disliked eating.

" Ifra mamma ne kaha na khana hai, batao kya khaoge fruits chahiye? And i am not taking a no "
I had to be strict when it comes to her food.

" Feedy "
said Ifra and rubbed her face on Nandini's chest.

I smiled, at least she was ready to drink milk

" Ek min jaan "

I quickly put my top a little up and carefully picked Ifra, placed her on my laps and attached Ifra to my bud.

" Mamma ka accha baccha, meri jaan ho aap baby, kabhi mamma ko akela mat chodna.
Meri zindagi ho aap.

Sabse zyada dar mujhe aapke liye lagta hain, aap pehli baar India ja rahe ho na. Waha pe bohot sare naye log hoge, bas ek baat hamesha yaad rakhna, mamma ki daulat ho aap. Mamma ka pride ho aap "
I thought while feeding Ifra, these thoughts scare me, I just pray for her safety, each and every moment.

After sometime Ifra was done with the feed.
I wiped her face around lip area with wet wipes.

After that Betty knocked the door and we went to have dinner with Ifra on my laps coming back we slept unknowingly.

Next day the jet landed on the helipad, we got down and were about to sit in the car when i found a chit exactly beneath my foot which read, which was very weird.

" Welcome to India beautiful "
I had just kept my foot in India, and I felt my breath hitch with just this one sentence.

......

In some corner of the world.

Woah! Nandini Murthy is here, abhi tak toh usse wo chit mil hi gayi hogi. Manik, tch!
Manik Nandini ka aashique, mai Manik ka dushman.
Matlab Nandini hai mera hukkum ka ikka.

Let the destruction begin.
...

Ooof!! Ye hain kaun? :(
