*-----------------------------*

The music was being played in the background, the business men along with their wives and girlfriends were seen dancing

Some stood near the pool area, having alcoholic shots and gossiping about Nandini's presence in the party.

But who cares? Do we? Nah 😂

Manik asked the butlers to make murthy's sit in the front seat and to also give the best of their hospitality... The murthy's were served the starters attached to a toothpick

Of course vegetarian !

Manik supported the small of Nandini's back and walked to find an open space as ifra was still in his arms

( Nandini's attire with straight open hair and dupatta as a roll in her neck 👆)

( Ifra's attire in extremely small size 👆)

" Dadda's love "

he called her as they got settled in the couch placed below the open sky

" I know i told you a number of times but once again... You look insanely gorgeous pumpkin "
ifra like a shy baby immediately face palmed herself acting all nautanki

Her this gesture literally made MaNan to aww at their creation!

" Thantoo dadda! "

her giggly thank you was cherry on the cake

Manik sticked ifra's and his forehead  together and looked in her intense eyes which were same as her father's

Manik and ifra giggled making nandini's heart flutter and her stomach twisted in happiness

She felt an immediate need to fish out her phone from her clutch and she started clicking their pictures

Nandini was busy clicking their pictures when she came in contact with something, she hadn't seen since the time she entered or precisely met manik

She saw a white bandage covering manik's left hand's palm

She sighed ! Manik malhotra and his relations with white bandages was well known to everyone

Ifra who was dancing to the tune of little faded music as they were far away from the main hall made her dadda clap at her performances

While manik heartily clapped for his baby's dance and also praised her making her shy

Nandini smiled seeing them clapping and dancing but the white bandage didn't leave her mind.... She was worried

She let ifra dance and placed a hand over manik's hurt palm gently...

Manik got goosebumps all over his body as he felt nandini's touch, nandini's pure touch!

He smiled and looked at her to see her face hung down as she kept caressing his hurt knuckles

" Kya toda iss baar? Table? Chair? Mirror? Door? "

nandini rose her head up and asked manik sarcastically but even manik knew that she careddd!

" Office table! "

he was smitten by her beauty , even in such a period of time... He did not realized that he actually gave her the answer

" Bichare office table ko bohot lagi hogi na.... Chhh "

nandini said sadly with her eyes squeezed also she made a sad snort at the end

Manik looked shocked at her remark, she felt sad for the office table? Like seriously?

He scrunched his nose and asked

" Whattt? "

Nandini hid her smile and replied making a what sign through her hand

" Areyyy ha...! Tumhe toh aadat haina pehle se.. Ye todna.. Wo todna.. Toh ab bichare table pe hi taras aa raha hain mujhe " soon her eyes shined as her lips laughed

Manik stopped blinking and looked at her laughing face, her hair strands falling over her face.. He immediately had the urge to shift them so that they don't disturb his view

Nandini who's lips moved as she laughed stopped instantly and looked at manik with a serious face... She felt the need to caress his stubble! Her habit it was to caress his jaw when they used to be together

Some habits doesn't change, even if we want them to change

For manik, who was already drowned in a pool of nandini's beauty felt that nandini looked like an angel at the moment.....

The look she gave him made his hearbeats do a salsa of their own ....

Nandini after a minute of pause uttered
" Kyu apne haath ko hurt karte ho hamesha? Hmm? "

finishing her sentence nandini again got back to caress his hurt knuckles

" Pata haina chaar saal pehle haath amputate hote hote bach gaya tha.... "

nandini in fluke did not realize that she was actually talking about their past

But for manik, he was very happy seeing her care for him! He couldn't ask for anything better than this!

" Mat hurt karo apne haath ko... Please manik "

the person you loved once and also when you know you still love , you can't see that person hurt ....same happened with nandini

She got extremely worried like she used to get four years ago when manik used to come to her with bleeding palms, bleeding knuckles or small cuts

" Manik! Ab tak tumhari ye aadat nahi badli na? Khudko hurt karke kya milta hain tumhe? "

she rose her head once again with thousands of emotions captured in those captivating eyes

Manik kept staring at her, But what was he supposed to answer? Coz he knew she'd gonna give him a good earful

" Kya milta hain, bolo mujhe... Abhi ke abhi "

nandini looked at ifra first to see her busy dancing so she aggressively held manik's collar and shaked him

Nandini murthy ka para high hain!

" Dard milta hain aur mere dil me jo dard ka toofan hain wo kam ho jata hain.... "

he said intensely locking their eyes

" Agar aage se mujhe tumhare haath pe bandage dikhi toh main aur jaan tumse kabhi nahi milenge... Ab tum decide karlo "

she played her card, she knew she had to stop him from hurting himself and for that she had to do something

Manik's face which held a serious and emotional expression moment's before, turned expression to a shocked one... He looked at his dancing baby and then at his baby's mother

Manik gulped a lump and said
" Whattt? Nooo.... Okay! I'll not harm my hand...Dur mat jao aur nahi meri jaan ko le jao "
he stammered fearing to the fact that ifni would go away from him

..........

" Ifra jaano, kitna dance karoge ab aap?pani peeyo thoda sa Mamma ke paas bhi aa jao "

as soon as ifra heard her mamma's voice, she turned around to see her mamma and dadda sitting comfortably on the sofa

After hearing her mamma's words how can ifra ignore her mamma? She ran giggling but her this act scared her over protective parents

Manik immediately got off from his seat and knelt down as soon as ifra reached them he engulfed her in his arms tightly...

Nandini too got worried she held ifra's baby soft palms and pecked them

" Jaan ! mamma ne kitni baar mana kiya hain run karne se.. Abhi lag jati toh " nandini saw ifra looking at her with a puppy face

Nandini held ifra and hugged her tightly
" Pumpkin, you are mamma and dadda's life jaan! "

nandini and ifra both heard manik whispering this and pecking ifra's forehead

They got settled on the sofa with ifra's upper portion in nandini's laps and lower portion in manik's laps

A perfect family moment!

Nandini took out wet wipes from her handbag and gently wiped ifra's sweat... She took cream and applied it on ifra's face especially her cheeks....

Raking a gentle hand through ifra's head, she kissed her forehead... Manik kept admiring his beauties... He didn't knew how and when but he was seen smiling like a fool

Nandini handed ifra to manik, while ifra immediately snuggled in her dadda's chest....

" You fine jaan? " manik asked caressing ifra's hair

Ifra said nothing but nodded her head positively , manik turned his head to see nandini finding something

Nandini fished out ifra's sipper and attached it to ifra's lips

" Drink it meri jaan " nandini said as she bent forward while her cheeks touched manik's sherwani

Ifra drank it slowly slowly enjoying the view above her head... She loved everything... Fairy lights, big trees , swimming pool, dj music

They were having their perfect family moment when all of a sudden it was broken by a running figure

The figure stood exactly before MaNanRa

" Champ "

manik mouthed and also patted ifra's back as he saw ifra snuggling in him more than before

Ahaan had scrunched his nose as he tried to pull manik along with him

" Champ! Kya kar rahe ho aap? Kya hua? "

he asked being careful with his baby in his arms

" Aap chalo mere saath "
he said irritatedly giving ifra an annoyed look

Manik hadn't seen it but nandini did... She saw how he glared at her baby... And she clearly disliked it... Nobody is allowed to glare at her baby

" Kaha le ja rahe ho aap mujhe? " manik still behaved normally but ahaan did not stop pulling manik

" Aap mere saath chalo... Aap hamare saath baitho... Chalo... Why are you Sitting here? " ahaan had tightly gripped over manik's right hand while the left arm had ifra

" Ahaan ! Champ! Main aauga.... Aap pull mat karo... Hero ke haath me baby haina "

even though it was impossible for a kid to shake someone as strong as manik but the mere shakes disturbed ifra who was sipping water

" Haan toh baby ko aap nandu aunty ke haath me dedo... Mere saath chalo mere saath khelo " ahaan had a bad face on while nandini could clearly see his pissed off reaction

Manik was shocked at ahaan's words... This was definitely very new to him

" Champ!  Main aata hu aap jao ...aap mamma dadda ke paas jao.. Nahi toh you wanna sit with us and play with ifra? "

manik didn't and he knew he could never be harsh with ahaan

But ifra immediately made a bad face as she heard her dadda talking to some other boy nicely... While for nandini..jo "Ifra ke rag rag se waakif hain " saw her baby's face and this was the last thing she wished for tonight

Manik held ahaan's hand and caressed his palm but listening to manik's statement ahaan jerked manik's hands and said angrily

" Jab se ye aaye hain he pointed at ifni aap mere saath nahi rehte.... Aap mere saath nahi khelte hain... Aap sirf isske saath khelte ho he gave a disgusting look to ifra who made a pout and looked at her mamma ...why did they come back in your life hero?  Unko bolo jaane.... She's trying to snatch you away from me... This baby... Who is she?  He went towards nandini and looked at her angrily kyu waapas aaye ho aap?  Gooo back... Don't try to steal my hero ....And this baby isko bhi le jao.... Get one thing straight he's only my hero "

and that was it for manik he couldn't control anymore he yelled on top of his voice

" Ahaan dhawan!  Shut your mouth right now... You're a kid... Watch your tone.... Apologize to nandini right now and stop glaring at my baby... Do you get it?  "

manik huffed at the end as he was raged up with ahaan's disrespectful behaviour

He looked at nandini who looked mad right now, not because ahaan spoke bad about her but because she saw insecurity in ifra's eyes and of course the way ahaan glared at ifra wasn't leaving her sight

Ahaan acted stubborn and was not responding

"Ahaan, i said apologize "
manik yelled squeezing his eyes once again

" Nooooo!  I won't!  "
shouting on top of his voice ahaan huffing puffing left the space

.......

Nandini came infront of manik sniffing a bit and gathered ifra in her arms from manik's... Ifra finding her mamma's  warmth snuggled as much as possible

She tightly held nandini's duppatta in her little palms

" Mamma " she whimpered

Nandini started rocking ifra in her arms as she said soothing words in ifra's ears

" Awwleee! Mamma ki jaan... Kya hua mere dil ke tukde ko? " nandini kissed the back of ifra's head

Manik could see ifra's changed behaviour, he made out that she was scared and that was unbearable to manik.. Just moments before everything between them was gonna be fine but then this.....

" Jaan!  Shhh na mera baccha... Mamma yahi hain... "

nandini was about to cry listening to her baby's cries and tears which soaked on her shoulder

Manik stepped forward and faced ifra but she immediately hid her face in her mamma's hair and breathed heavily

" Jaan ! " manik called ifra

" Mera baccha " he called once again

As soon as ifra heard manik's voice her cries increased... This was getting unbearable for nandini.. She can't see her little heart crying in any circumstances ....

" Mamma ki jaan, dekho
" AAPKE " dadda aapko bula rahe hain " nandini once again started rocking ifra and spoke stressing on the word " AAPKE "

Ifra's nose had turned completely red , she sobbed more and more with hiccups in between

Ifra please stop crying baby,all my readers are upset because you are crying...

" Mamma, ifla... "

nandini knew ifra wanted to say something but because of sobs she wasn't able to frame a proper sentence

Manik couldn't see ifra and nandini crying,  so he forcefully but gently took ifra in his arms

Ifra looked at her dadda, she looked extremely cute in her red cheeks and red nose....

" Jaan! "

he whispered trying to calm her down

Nandini had warned manik about ifra's possessiveness in the morning itself ! :(

" My dadda!  Onwy my.... My dadda!  My my my "

ifra stammered in the first but frustratingly she shouted at the end

" Haan jaan!  Main sirf aapka dadda hu... Sirf meri ifra jaan ka" manik wiped her tears and kissed her forehead

" He......Blah... Blah "
she pointed at the space from where ahaan left

" Main sirf ifra ka dadda hu... Haina Nandini?  See mamma is nodding too... Look at mamma " she stopped her sobs and looked at her mamma who nodded in assurance too

" Haan jaano!  Only ifra is dadda's baby...... Rona band karo na.. Meri jaan chali jati hai aapko aise dekh kar "

nandini said as her tears continued to flow

" Aa jao mamma ke paas..aao mamma aapke aasun poch de " manik walked further and gave ifra to nandini who hugged ifra to her dear life

Manik himself wiped his baby's tears and said

" Meri jaan ne apne itne keemti moti gawaah diye... Main sirf aapka dadda hu... Only yours...."

.........

" Manik"

nandini called out for him as she made ifra drink water from her sipper

" Hmmm "

he was ashamed and guilty for what ahaan said... He knew that nandini had already been through alot and ahaan just crossed his limits as a child ....he wasn't able to meet nandini's eyes

" it was ahaan!  Baccha hain wo.....aur mujhe ye bhi pata hain wo yeh kyu kar raha hain... Lekin usne jo kiya wo bilkul acceptable nahi hain... Meri jaan itna royi hain aaj, jaha use sirf khush hona tha wo roi hai....agar ahaan ke jagah koi aur hota toh main kabhi chup nahi baith'ti..."

Manik rose his head up as she continued her statement... He knew she was quiet because it was ahaan... But he was shocked when he heard that nandini knew why he was saying everything all of a sudden

" Whattt?  Tumhe pata hain wo aisa kyu kar raha hain? Nandini main ahaan ke taraf se maafi mangta hu.. He's always a well mannered boy... Lekin aaj"

he said sadly

" Aisa kyu kar raha hain wo nahi pata... Lekin kiske kehne pe kar raha hain wo zaroor pata hain " she said biting her lips

" kiske? "
he asked standing up from the couch

" Manik mukti waha khadi thi... " nandini pointed at the space in front of them where a person could hide behind the pillars

" Whatttt?  " manik gasped as he followed nandini's hands which showed the direction

" Isse ek cheez toh pakki hain tumhare friend's kabhi change nahi ho sakte ...but whatever happened today usme tumhari galti nahi hain "

he was glad to know that she understood him but what about him?  He was ashamed of his friends and his self

For manik, today he saw a glimpse of harshad in ahaan

........

" Kya hua nandini? "

as they were heading back to main hall manik saw nandini to be exceptionally quite and busy in her own thoughts

" Ummm... Nothing! " she denied and immediately changed her expressions

Manik stopped his pace and said gently cupping her shoulders

" Nandini i know, tumhe mujhse baatein share karna accha nahi lagta hoga.. But for me.. I can't see you like this please tell me.... Kuch serious hain? "

he was extremely polite with his words and ended his statement with a worried smile

" Manik!  Mujhe ajeeb feelings aa rahi hain... Ifra ko kuch... I'm worried for her.. Pata nahi kyu.. achanak se "

nandini flipped her hair and spoke about why she was worried after the ahaan incident

" Nandini main hu na... I promise main Ifra ko khatra touch bhi nahi hone dunga...." nandini nodded and they again started walking

........

" Nandini ke aiyappa,please nandini aur ifra ko sahi salamat rakhna.. Unko kuch ho gaya toh main jeete jee mar jauga "

manik looked at the sky and made a small prayer

.......

As soon as MaNan reached the main hall murthy's, khurana's, betty ,mr malhotra fab 4 and navbhi along with ahaan looked at them

Mr malhotra smiled and walked till them as he wanted to play with his granddaughter

" Hello daadu ki jaan ....kaise ho aap? "

he asked pecking ifra's forehead

" Apne dadda aur mamma ke saath hain... Bilkul theek hain aapki shehzaadi... "

manik smiled completing his sentence which was heard by others also except for the unknowns

Ifra looked at ahaan,  who glared her but as per her dadda's assurance that he is only her dadda she did not get scared... She glared back at him and said joining her and her dadda's forehead

" onwy ifla'sh dadda " 

(only ifra's dadda)  ....she questioned purposely so that even ahaan could hear manik's response

" Jee meri jaan.. Main sirf aapka dadda hu "

this was the 4th to 5th time he repeated the same line but the same line made ifra happy like anything... She clapped and jumped in her dadda's arms happily

........

" Aap log comfortable haina?  Kuch chahiye?  "

manik walked till the murthy's along with ifni and asked them

Amms did not reply as she turned her face away, even chacha did not respond...

For chachi she was very happy seeing her sona munda.. She wanted to kiss his forehead as a mother but she was well aware of the fact that nandini hadn't forgiven him and also that manik's deeds were unforgivable so she just gave a smile

" We are comfortable, thank you"

Rishab acted as a sweetheart and replied which made manik caress his hair just like how he used to do four years ago

.........

Nandini was standing with few business men and womens along with manik who was not ready to leave them even for a second....

As soon as she turned her head backwards she found navya standing alone at the dessert counter... She saw manik lovingly patting their baby's back so she left towards navya's

She touched navya's shoulders to which navya turned around to see nandini standing... She immediately gulped a lump getting scared

" Ohhh Hiii, Navya "

nandini greeted sarcastically

" Umm... Nandini "

navya looked here and there as she was too scared to even face nandini

" Kya navya dekhogi bhi nahi?  Ab itna bada kaand kiya hain,  mera toh saamna karna padega" nandini said taking rounds around navya's shaking body

Navya was hell scared readers, i wish you could see her petrified face...

" Tumhe kya laga?  Mujhe pata nahi chalega? Haaan? "

nandini fidgeted with her finger's acting innocent while this made navya bite her own lips in fear...

She knew she was in big trouble you guys

" Tumhari himmat kaise hui, mere friends ke kaano me jhooti baatein dalne ki?  Itni jealousy lati kaha se ho tum ? "

nandini took a piece of the pastry as she acted all calm and ready to take navya's class

Navya khud jealousy ki dukaan hain... Khudne toh kuch kiya nahi aur nandu se jealous hain... Like seriously?  Uffffff!

" Maine socha tha tumhe acchi saza dungi... Lekin mere alfaazon se hi tum toh kaapne lag gayi "

nandini took one more bite and got settled in one of the seats

" Nandini tum kya bol rahi ho, hamein kuch samajh nahi aa raha hain "

navya tried to prove herself innocent

But navya ji, you are already caught !

" Jhoot mat bolo navya... Samajh toh tumhe sab aa raha hain wo bhi bohot acche se... "

nandini wiped her lips with a tissue paper being a lady boss she is , while navya watched her actions

" Agli baar ke liye isse warning samjho ya dhamki... Lekin agar tum ne harkat dohrai (repeat)  Main tumhe kahi ka nahi chodugi... Aur jis tarah se aaj ahaan ne meri jaan se baat ki hain , make sure next time he doesn't... Wo bhi mukti ke influence me aake.... Samjhi tum ?"

nandini's voice raised at the end as she was hell angry

Navya was unaware about what ever nandini said but she firstly was very scared with nandini's  voice and secondly she made a mental note to ask mukti about what nandini said

Nandini looked at their right, where fab 4 and abhi stood along with ahaan... She saw him still giving death glares to ifra who was happily laughing in her dadda's arms along with her daadu

" Dekho navya, abhi tak... Abhi tak.. Ahaan ifra ko ghure ja raha hain.... Tumlog itna kaise gir sakte ho mujhe samajh nahi aata.. Matlab apni nafrat ke liye bacche (ahaan)  ko bhi bhadka rahe ho... Wah bhai.... "

navya looked at ahaan to see that nandini was absolutely right , ahaan continued to dig holes in manik's back

Navya wasn't able to handle it, she wanted to cry out of fear so nodding a yes.. She left from there.....

........

Nandini returned back and took her baby in her arms showering thousands of kisses...

" Tumlog yahi rehna main aata hu "

said manik as he made them sit on the comfortable white table and chair along with the murthy's

Making them sit, he walked till fab 4, navbhi and ahaan... A smile was seen on their faces... They thought he was there to spend some time with them

" Alya "

manik called alya and forwarded his hands for her , alya's heart fluttered... She thought he was asking her for a dance

Dhruv made a bad face :)

Without any further adieu, alya held his hands and walked with him but she realized..he was not taking her to dance.. But he took her on the stage

he made her stand beside him as a press conference was arranged before them

Nandini's eyebrows cringed as she saw manik on the stage with alya..

" Mamma, when nandini nodded her head ifra pointed at alya and said blah blah "

saying so she burried herself in her mother's chest , she did not like anyone with her dadda other than her mamma

" Aise nahi bolte jaan" nandini said caressing ifra's hair

.........

" Helllo kaise ho aap sab?  I hope y'all are enjoying the party "
manik roamed his eyes to see everyone nodding their eyes in assurance

" Yes sir, we're enjoying it " said the media

Manik smirked a bit before he pulled alya and held her waist tightly.... All this gestures of manik was making alya more and more excited

She blushed in front of the media and pinned her hair behind her ear, she looked at nandini and gave her an evil look but nandini was unaffected

Manik looked at nandini, but she withdrew her eyes from him... And suddenly he felt a pang of pain in his chest but also knew his this move would make everything fine

" Sooo ladies and gentlemen, aaplogo ko lagta hain ki manik malhotra is in a relationship since the last four years nahi? "

he questioned the media and also the guests as he stuffed his hands inside his pocket

" Par jaise maine last time fab 5 ko toda tha kuch reason ki wajah se main aaj aaplogo ko ek aur bada wala sach batane ja raha hu "

as soon as the media people heard him, they obviously wanted to take and make it a trending topic for tomorrow

.

" Alya saxena, who's standing beside me... I never loved her... We were never in a relationship... I love someone else... Who is the reason for my survival... i had to clear this mess first... Soo here it is "

manik completed his sentence with the same devilish grin he carried

Alya stood under the halogen lights,  on the stage with her head hung low.... She felt embarrassed

Fab 3, navbhi had their pupils bulged out of their sockets, they were flabbergasted with manik's announcement
