(it is chotu sa update- I'm sorry for it)

Manik's pov

silence please..i said as students started doing their small talks..seeing abhay  and me, who was exactly look likes me..where he sat unaffected..i really liked that attitude..trust me, hearing comments which irritates, but still u chose to ignore showing them u gave damn about what others think about u..i smiled at content which was given by my kids..i was feeling blessed..and equally happy seeing such maturity in him..

so, now that we are done with introduction of everyone..so, lets move head with class..i said all hooted..they were excited so was i..and i took them to big jam room, specially built for this classes, its usually bigger than other jam room..class continued with lots of fun..where i was enjoying my teaching like always..its only manik..not any the manik malhotra..i will just become kid...where i stand or sit on floor to teach each one of student by my own..i found myself drowning in the world of music..its just me..someone told being with company of kids is best thing..and I'm following since then.. that was true indeed..

i was done with all students its just my kids, i looked them..one was happy chirping near piano with mrudula and the other was making grumpy face for not getting single perfect melody from the flute..i was watching him now and then, where he was mentally yelling me and when i look him, he would glare at me..i was actually enjoying it..making him irritate is my fav. job nowday u see..i walked to my daughter first..she was in her land since she entered in jamming room..her smile didn't left her lips..i don't want either..i sat next both girls, who were trying to make some good melody..they looked like long lost sisters..who have to talk anything and everything..both were perfect piece to be said..both are mischievous kids of era..if i say, u need to agree to it..

mrudula is also one heck key board player..alya have personally trained her..and the same passion was carried by her daughter on key board..if mrudula is great player, my daughter isn't less..because she got all genes of nandini and she plays as if she owns all the melodies of music in her little hand and play like a professional key board player..for me both are best at what they do...

I have personally trained mrudula in piano..she was seating on my head to teach me one, and I hardly couldn't say no to such doll like her..if someone damn close to me in kids or in my family next to cabir, its mrudula..not even mukbhi's daughter or cavya's son or my any family member, is that close to me..she had wipe my tear like no one..she used stay with me in her every holidays and even when her parents are out of station and she spend time with me in my flat, just because i don't feel lonely..she is kinda knows me very well compare to my whole family..trust me, by seeing her first time i  wished, I had daughter of my own..and God obliged my wish gave me a daughter who is just angel to my life..I proudly say I have daughter's with one son ..

Ma- what's up girls? I rubbed my hands together saw my third love piano..I love her..but not more than my guitar..but still holds a good stand in my life..because playing piano as come to my blood, i can't help but find peace in them also, when i play them..

Mr-hey chachu..she sat on my lap, where I laughed seeing pout of avni..avni didn't liked mrudula's small gesture.. I picked her up..made her seat on my right lap..she smiled brightly and I kissed her cheeks..she gave best smile to me..where I mimicked the same to another girl..in reply she kissed my cheeks..I couldn't help but to smile..

Ma-so, bird use paino ki melody sikaya? I asked her as I kept my fingers on keys..and it gave me peace, as piano melodious sound hit my drums..I played the melody with a smile..

Mr- haa..chachu..she said as she kept her tiny fingers inside my palm..she was playing along with me..I smiled as my daughter's eyes followed my fingers ..she undoubtedly had learnt that melody, she damn fast learner...I ended..there was applause..I looked avni.. I so knew, she gonna give her best..she kept her hands and started it with her magical hands creating perfect music out of it..

( Hear it, its best piece I come across- tum hi ho instrumental)

The whole room went silent.. Everyone's eye was closed..they were lost in the music, which was played flawlessly..no one can say she learnt it in 10 minutes..she had passion, and that flowed in her fingers creating something called out of the world..I could see someone in front of me rather than my daughter..I closed my eyes for second..and the image flashed I could only smile seeing that person's face..I opened my eyes..I saw same purity in my daughter's every act, when she plays piano..she was truly angel of my life..she filled loveliness in my void life..thanks u for such daughter, I had done something very good to get this angel of mine..truly..I mean it..as my eyes filled with happy tears..as she ended..there was huge applause..I kissed her cheeks..I was proud father..

Ma-that was awesome baby..she kissed my cheeks in gratitude,as she flung into my arms..where I held her protectively..

I walked to last person of the hour my son..he was all way smiling looking at his sister..he really admires her..but never accepts it...that is what brother's do, right?

I sat in front of him..he gave grumpy face..as he sat sadly looking at flute..he tried and tried to make some good music out of this new instrument, which is for him..I sat on floor next to him, leaning to wall..I asked mrudula to bring my guitar and another flute..she did immediately..

Ma-look hold them like this..blow the air as it requires for ur music..I said as I kept flute near my lips, which mrudula brought.. he followed me..he wasn't that perfect yet not bad at all as first time learner..

Ab- I'm not getting this buddy..its not my cup of tea..he said sadly with his head down as he yet again missed the notes due moderation in breath..I pulled him made him seat on my thighs as I stretched my legs forward...I really didn't liked that look in my son's face..I like to see him head high, what's so ever matter is...

Ma- I know, u aren't getting it..but I know u will do it..never give up something abhay until u feel u can't, until u feel all ur hopes end..and I have faith in my son..he can do anything..he looked me and kept flute near his lips..I kept mine...he followed and keenly observed how I played them..

In hour so, he was perfect, with what ever he made, no can say he just learnt them..he learnt to hold his breath, how to deal with them, as i showed him each one, how to play even smallest notes out of flute, he observed my all notes with his concentration..and there he got what he wanted...and his sad face turned into smile, with each tone..

it was time to end the class and not before jamming in whole..I called all the students, who were trying different notes out of their instruments..I made them seat in couple of chairs..I took my guitar.. I looked abhay..

U gonna play along with me..I said he nervously nodded without giving up..though he was new for the instrument..I looked up others asked them to sing along with me.. I started playing guitar, while he waited for his turn..

When he started, I felt that very moment..he gonna real screw music world with his music..he gonna rock like king and rule entire music world...he will not be known as Manik Malhotra's son but I'm gonna known as Abhay Malhotra's dad..he gonna touch sky, I'm hell sure about it.. because the day is definitely not far.. were I will be proud of him, like no one..

(this is super u gonna love them-have a look)

https://youtu.be/Hc7BjYmn9z0

My kids are my proud, they will be today and tomorrow..in damn very future.. where they gonna see Malhotra's next generation ruling music world..

Each time he played he was better compare to previous..that was one best jamming session with my son, which i will never forget in my entire existence..where his smile never left his lips..he looks damn best when he smiles..and our jamming ended with all students, where everyone applauded loud..abhay just hugged by my side waist..i kissed his hairs..he smiled brightly, which his real smile..

so, students i hope u enjoyed todays jamming..everyone shouted loud enough to hear outsiders also, that they loved them to core..i ended the class, took all the three kids with me..as we walked in corridor..where two girls on my rights and my son on my left..each one on floor where seeing my son and me with open mouth..and we walked unaffectedly..i reached my car, i opened back door, two girls hooped inside it..while abhay occupied passenger seat..i myself sat in driver seat..i pulled out my phone as i started the car..

nandini wasn't picking my call, i tried again..like really finally she received call..where the hell was she?

hello nandini..i said as she received them, i could hear heavy breathing from other side as if she had run all way to receive call, she is one careless piece of my world..

haa..manii..she said but i felt it weird..what happened to her?

where were u? i asked the question, which popped out my mind very second, when i heard her tone..

I, in my flat..she stammered for 4 words also, why the hell she is lying to me? i was damn sure because nandini stammers only when she lies me..

is it baby? i asked her...i could seriously imagine that she is asking help from dear her aiyyappa..and cursing me because i know when she lies and when not..

haa..why..wo..would..ii..lie to uu? she completed i smiled as years together passed but still she could never lie me properly..

okay if u say so..ab jaldi se ready ho..my driver is waiting for u..i said as i turned my face backwards, who were laughing like hell seeing abhay i looked him..i could hardly stop myself..i was laughing like hell with girls..where he was ready to pounce on the girls for their prank..i could clearly say it was idea of mrudula and executed by my dear daughter..

what the hell manik malhotra? are u hearing me? why the hell are u laughing like manic, u manik? she yelled, i kept the phone little away from my drums to protect them..she was damn jealous, i can hear in her tone..

nandini just do what i said..and yeah abhay is with me before u ask..and get ur heels turn and get ready fast..i said as i threw my phone aside without giving her time to reply, i was once again laughing seeing chocolate box in his hand..where mrudula was laughing like hell, if looks could kill any one mrudula was so dead by abhay's deadly angry glares..he is whole teeth turned into black one, all thanks to the girls..

mr-aww, poor baby..she said to tease him, while he snatched tissue from her hands, which she removed for abhay..he was badly pissed by her..

ab-u kitten u gonna pay for it..he said as he cleaned his teeth and lips, where she didn't get affected but girl rolled her eyes, started are laughing, i could barely stop my laugh..

av-oh! abhay..my bro..she said teasing him another round..

and the bloody prank , is this and all credits go to great manik malhotra again..i used play with mukthi..who always used to stole my chocolates from my wardrobe, so i ate all chocolates from the box, i wrapped them neatly ..i made sure it just alike chocolate..she ate them in my absence and poked everything..i laughed and laughed ...its reminds my childhood, how was I? And what I became today?

otherside when manik was talking with Nandini..abhay sat on passenger seat, he could clearly hear groan from his stomach, which was heard by his dear girl, who had wicked plan against the khadus..she giggle, where he glared her..avni being daughter of mischief gave chocolate box, which was given by mrudula before only, playing as most innocent soul on earth she passed chocolate box to mrudula to pass the same to her dear brother..as if avni is giving chocolate box to him..where mrudula acted like all innocent passed the same to abhay, who felt to fishy seeing mrudula's so innocent face, which is his kitten definitely not..but took them seeing his sister face..

mr-have them khadus..she said with extra coated honey and sugar tone as if he will turn all sweet, which though caught the attention of smarty pants abhay, he shrugged knowing her concern for time being..he slowly unwrapped them.. he could literally feel whole elephant walk on his stomach, and all thanks to his daddy dear, who didn't gave a small break for food to the foodie kids of his..he opened them..he felt fishy, he looked mrudula and avni, they being all kids of earth acted innocent by opening other chocolate box, which mrudula bought, knowing the yet another deductive malhotra..she opened them started eating it, by sharing the same with her new crime partner..who was eating them as she didn't ate the food from years together..he looked mrudula, who asked him bite from her chocolate, he cleverly stopped her by turning his face to front, where mrudula gave evil smile to avni, who was ready to see her brothers super duper face, which is rarest to find..because he is ABHAY MALHOTRA, who is smart and prank on him is just next to impossible and they don't want to get any actions from him in return by joining to hospital,after the prank..

abhay opened them, he took chocolate, smelled them, it was exactly chocolate smell, he looked mrudula through rare mirror, who was eating her chocolate as if she is die heart fan of chocolate..he then looked avni who was pulling out another chocolate from the box, he finally decided to have them, because he know his sister won't prank with him, but to his bad luck she proved him wrong by joining with his kitten, who loves to irritate shit of abhay..she was the only piece in world who can prank upon him..she had audacity to face him, which even his parents gets scared some times..she can handle him, in her tips..she was mrudula..the girl, who loves to live the world like no one..a perfect girl..who lives in moment..she is different, a complete package to handle the mini monster very well..

abhay took them put them in his mouth in whole..he crashed them two times, until it hit his taste buds..and soon everything was puked back..he looked one person..his kitten, who loves to play prank with him..

mr-chocolate pasand aya hero ko? she asked as she rolled on seats..where avni was trying not to laugh knowing his brother so well..but ended with loudest giggle..while manik turned back..when mrudula took one of the chocolate showed him, by breaking it..it was coal, which had been shaped like chocolates, which were dipped in chocolate syrup..making it look like perfect chocolates..where he sat with drumstruck, seeing her perfect prank for never to be messed guy..she was water and he was fire..yet again one more love story..

manik's pov

ma-now tell me, kiski chocolate chori ki tune? i asked after my laughter, abhay was totally pissed..he glared me..

ab-es kitten ne diya..i didn't stole them, malhotra..he said as he threw wrappers on mrudula..where she was asking my help..i could hardly help but to laugh with my pumpkin, where they both were pulling each other hairs..seriously..i stopped the car as we reached the place..i immediately pulled my daughter out leaving duo to fight, when they are done they will come..avni was giggling as i removed her shoes, with mine..as she ran to beach..

 i walked behind her, leaving two idiots who won't stop their fight now only, let them pull each others hairs..i will enjoy my time with my pumpkin..i ran behind her as she reached the shore..it wasn't crowded..i didn't want someone to recognise me or mrudula..they will eat up my time with my daughter also..and mrudula is well known piece, who is celebrity because she will be with me all time, whether in functions or parties , i will walk with her in red carpet..she is my pair wherever i go..but this time it changed, she didn't poked her nose, when i'm alone,which is definitely unlike mrudula..my thoughts were distrubed by my daughter..who was running to waves and coming back when they were about to touch her..i smiled at her kids act..

seems like enjoying baby..she gave bright smile, which nandini used own years back..i could see nandini in her..she pulled my hands..as we started our game with waves..where her laughter was echoing in air..she was picking shells from sand..showing them to me..i smiled as she asked me to do the same..i started picking them for her..i gave hand full of shells to her..her eyes twinkled like anything, she pulled me to her level i sat on my knees.while she kissed my cheeks..

how did u know? i wanted to come here? she asked as she took the shells from my hands..i made sure it didn't had any creatures in it, which would hurt my pumpkin..

i saw u admiring beach, when u were standing at balcony..socha mai apne beti ko lekar beach ajja hu..achaa laga? i asked her, she smiled broadly as she pecked my cheeks..

bohut..she said perfectly in hindi..i was amazed..but smiled at my nani se jaan..i took her in my arms as i made her stand on my bare feet..started walking on the shore..as my world filled by my daughter..its her and me..

Nandini's pov

Hmm... Mumbai, Maya Nagri, a city of dreams..which broke my all dreams..I smiled looking at my past as I walked with my kids and Manik beside me..I never thought I'm going to come here again..yet again after 11years..I looked the place where I sat that day, it was little changed..but my worst memory still is there..I saw myself in that place again..where I was waiting for someone to hold me back, waiting for my man to hold me..but nothing such happened..I could see a failure girl there, who was finding her mistake for trusting her most precious people..I was failed, I was betrayed..I saw my death..I saw a girl who was abandoned..I sat without hope in my life..I saw cry baby within me, where I laughed on my own life..but today I'm strong enough to deal with demons of the world..I was made strong, I accepted my life..I know, I have been changed years together people made me, I accepted it as my fate..I was not living just surviving and only reason were my kids..next to Manik..

When I felt arm around my shoulder..I knew it was him..i looked him, there was clear cut of guilt was in his eyes from morning, he wasn't speaking a word..he went mute only to me..even I didn't bothered about it though I wanted him to speak..

Then his one of the guard came running to him..said there was heavy crowd at exist.. I looked above, and saw a huge of thousands were standing at exist..he had big fandom, which even big celebrities didn't had, but I saw them today in live..he has grown the way he wished to have life in his passion..I was happy for him..he got what wanted.. which he always deserved..like he said he made me proud..yes, he made me one..after my my labour, I always craved to see manik..but where he disappeared I don't know..he came back after many years, where was he no knew about it, even I didn't tried because he didn't tried to find me, why would i do that favor to that moron, when I knew he was responsible for whatever happened with me and my kids but I missed him in each second of my life..in my tears..in my happiness.. but there is another secret that I never missed his interview, concerts, awards..yes, I'm mad at him..but stupid heart couldn't stop loving and drooling over him and it will never happen, even I know...I never saw his eyes in the shows because he always covered them with his glares..his public interaction wasn't that good..he went too mute..he never smiled, if he used smile only for one girl, who was always with him..he used walk with red carpet with doll like girl, who supposed to be mrudula..I had observed manik only smile or talk to her...his talks has been reduced, mainly his anger had decreased from years together..and his interaction with his family has drastically changed..I so wanted to know his well beings but my mind always stopped me reminding me his words..

He took all of us out..his driver put our luggage in his car..he was bidding bye to his family.. manik's first preference is his family..fab5, but I can't see that great bond,which I used find years before, there is a great awkwardness between him and his family..I observed it from first day itself..but chose to ignore..driver asked address from me..but abhay smartly acted before me..I was heavily suspicious about him..and it proved, when we were standing in front our apartment..I looked Manik, he was definitely not the reason, when we where  standing in same place..but he was yet mum..I wanted him to speak up.. but nothing came from his side..and abhay once again covered up..I would dragged the matter if avni wasn't there..we never want to spoil the innocence of her, by saying ugly past of her parents..she is happy finding her daddy dear, who is exactly same like she dreamt of..her happiness as no bounds..I really can't take that happiness from her, which from years she craved for..she used wait for Manik in every Christmas and new year.. where people get back to their family..where her eyes went wet, but never said anything to me..she chose to keep her pain for herself, another product of Manik Malhotra..who never says pain to anyone..I accepted my defeat walked to our flat yet again..to the place which had given infinity best memories and at the end it ended like worst nightmare ..

I still remember how Manik had bought me here for the first time..he all the way carried me like bride into our flat..I could see us walking in that corridor with hand in hand.. I opened the lift..and there was I..in our floor..I walked as I saw myself running from here, last time..I was big disaster that day..I walked to the door of our flat..nothing is changed it was same as I left..my name was still there with him..

Nandini and Manik

Manan

I slowly traced our name..Manan..as tears flew..I was hurt, but happy seeing my name..I mattered him still, made my heart fill with happiness..I wanted cry with all new emotions..when I heard foot steps I removed my hands from name plate..saw Manik was keenly observing my action..he stood beside me..as Abhay opened the door, which was exactly opposite to our flat..I was too surprise.. who did all this..I mean in this big Mumbai, I ended up with our flat again..is Mumbai became so small?? I wondered , as I saw avni jumping from manik's arms..

Manik asked me that I will come to our flat..though I wanted to go, but chose to hurt him by slamming door at his face. He definitely would have not expected from me..but I always did what he never expects me to do..I heard his door closing..as my tears hit again to my cheeks..I should have not closed door in his face..I opened the door to see..but he had already closed the door..having no option I walked in before rubbing my tears..it was simple but yet elegant flat..

After crying all my heart in shower..I walked to see manik had come with box of foods..his eyes were badly swollen, it was red blood..but he was trying to act normal infront of us, which he was definitely not..he had food, avni was great help, she made Manik smile..though he wasn't fully.. but his mind was occupied by her..and yet again I saw him zoomed out seeing abhay and avni..the way he was looking at them..I could clearly say that, he was missing his sister, mukthi..for him, she his life..his daughter, he had brought up a girl by giving all love of parents, who gives to her..she was one lucky girl unlike my kids, who didn't got a drop of love from him, but he simply hated them..I shrugged..I badly wanted Manik to talk to me, but why I certainly didn't know..bas I couldn't take his silence, which I couldn't tolerate..I saw he was in slumber and avni on top of him..I tried to pull her.. but couldn't help as her grip was stronger on his shirt...Abhay was sleeping on couch while watching TV..I pulled him to my arms took him to his room..made him sleep properly, and guess he stirred in sleep, slept like manik by opening his mouth..I kissed his hairs..closed his mouth..covered him with duvet..I walked to my room bought duvet for daughter and her daddy..who was sleeping uncomfortable on couch, yet he held her tightly making sure she won't fell down..I kissed my daughter as I covered them..I looked Manik he was having frowns..I cleared them, as I patted duo..

I felt sleepy..I walked up to my room..I turned to see duo again..that was what I dreamt of..Manik sleeping holding his baby..today I saw them..but still I wasn't fool to trust this man yet again.. never..he thought me, i won't for get my lessons..

It was 10 in night, I woke up and went out, I saw my kids were playing video games..Abhay was all time irritating avni..he won't change for good..he is exactly same like manik in this matter to irritate the sister's to shit..I was damn hungry..I wasn't in mood prepare anything..and all thanks to jet lag..I badly suffer for them..and where the hell is manik Malhotra?? He is supposed to be here right? Jerk again left without saying anything..

Ab-mom, the person ur finding is having meeting..so, he left..and u, don't have to prepare anything as ur Romeo knows ur mood swings he had ordered food..u just need to have them..he said all this to me but his whole concentration was on the game..and highlighted word is ROMEO..

Na-come again abhay? I yelled at him..he looked back gave look and turned his attention to game..he loves to irritate me..I would have yelled him..but I was to weak to do that.. I'm hungry that's all..I sat on dinning table saw all dishes were thrown on table, I glared lazy ass like kids..but who cares Manik Malhotra and his kids never care about it..I had my food..I opened the door when there was a knock at the door..I guess Manik..I ran to door, but to my dismay, it was his giant guards, who were carrying groceries..

Gu-mam, groceries are here..he asked permission from me kept them in kitchen, as he saw I won't able to carry monster bags..which he carried like cotton..what will he eat? 

Na-how much I need to pay? I asked him, as I don't want anyone to pay my needs.. I'm nowhere dependent on anyone..

Gu-mam, payment is made by sir already..and servant will be at ur service from day after tomorrow..he informed me, I was shocked hearing servant..but thought to ask Manik..

Na-and this bags? I asked him..which he was carrying..

Gu-its belongs to sir's flat..he said as he kept them near the lobby of our flat..

Na-but where is he? And why are u keeping them here? U would have passed to his servants na?? I asked the question..he looked me from head to toe..checking me if I was alien or what..

Gu-mam, don't u know sir lives alone here..no one is allowed to go inside the flat except mrudula mam..he doesn't like anybody entering his house..and servant is last person he wants in his flat..he makes everything by himself.. he never depends upon Anyone..he likes to live alone..he does't like anyone to poke his personal things..and for us our job is precious mam, so we won't ask him anything..he breathed giving most shocking information to me..I looked him and the door behind him..

Na-sorry I didn't knew, I will pass them to him..I said, he smiled at me..

Na-and when he will come home? I asked him hoping to see him, before I sleep..

Gu-i don't know mam..it depends upon him completely..he may come today or tomorrow or day after tomorrow..he is workaholic..for him time doesn't matters..he just needs to be occupied..he doesn't sit ideal mam..

I was actually stunned hear something like this about Manik..I never expect him to go away from his family and himself this much..he used literally wait whole day to go home..but today he doesn't even bother about it ..and mainly who is waiting for him.. I'm not there at the door, waiting for him to come..and he as no reason for coming home..

Gu-and thanks for ur kids from our side to show us that our Rockstar can also smile.. thanks from our side mam..he said as he kept bunch of flower in my hand..he walked out with small smile..he was content seeing Manik smiling, he was manik's well wisher for sure..

did he never smiled? It hurts me..I never imagined Manik would punish himself this much..that he went away so far without his family..can u believe the fab5 isn't allowed into our home...I was shocked,, no I was more than shock..I came and sat on couch still thinking about Manik..but my thoughts were distributed by my kids..who were pulling each other hairs..i stopped their fight, i made both of them sleep..where avni was still complaining about her brother..and other side the response was same..i looked time it was 12..i thought of getting manik's no. from abhay's mobile..but dropped idea..because my mind yelled me, what was i doing? finally agreeing to my mind..shooing my heart words, i slept..without caring for him..but was it true? only my heart knows..

it was 8, when i woke up..first thing came into my mind was manik..i ran to wash room to get freshen up..i turned my heels to kitchen, i saw avni was running to manik's flat..i was still there till manik, opened the door..he looked most pathetic person..i observed him carefully today..there was dark circles, tiredness in his eyes..as if he didn't slept properly, i can say his diet is forgot business, his face had lost his glow..he suddenly saw our side..i immediately went inside the kitchen..i don't want him to get any ideas..i surely didn't want that..let him rot in hell..

and there started marthan with my son, who hates yuck..i mean milk like me..i was running behind him, it was his first day in his workshop..i wanted the best for my son..and he will get everything he dreamt of, because i promised myself to give him everything..and there he escaped from my hands yet again..i glared him, i literally want puke smelling milk, which was in my hand..there i saw manik, who was looking us like alien..he gave disbelief look to us, seeing me making my sin drink something, which I won't drink..u know Nandini Murthy is like that..as i saw abhay running towards him, i eyed manik..he immediately held him for me..he made him drink, shouting at abhay in stern, which he had with no word..i was actually amused seeing this version of duo..okay..abhay is accepting manik..i was realising day by day..but somewhere my heart was happy..but my mind never gonna accept Manik..

 i gave victory smile, seeing abhay having yuck..i know u should never say such things to food..but u can't help me, i hate and i hate them..abhay glared both of us..i knew it..he ran to kitchen to have ice cream..i smiled seeing myself in him..but my smile replaced to scary seeing manik's smirk and his words, then i saw abhay..this is not good for nandini murthy..i saw my daughter, who is always in side of brother, when it comes to prank..and there she is with her devil smirk with a glass of yuck..i started running as trio followed me, i was pleading, which went to deaf ears..i saw manik, i forgot all my past..where i lived present with him just like i had dreamt..i was about to run to my room..and there monster caught me..u are gone nandu..e monster chode ga nai tuje,,,aiyyappa help me..even i pleaded trio but no use..i showed my cute antics to manik, which would melt him, but like always it didn't melted him as it is about milk..he entwined my legs and hands with him..made sure i won't move..i glared him..he pinched my nose..and i had milk..i felt like puking..as i heard warning from abhay and soon obliged that i won't make him drink milk again..i forgot my and my manik's position..and there he realsed me, i ran behind the trio, there started a fight..a cute little fight..i smiled with them..it was moment to remember..

avni went with manik..but bloody monster wants to show his pda in front of his kids..he pecked my cheeks..my cheeks were leaked with red colour..i was about to yell him, but no use, monster left with his pumpkin..and i heard a giggle of my son..he was looking exactly like manik..i glared him, he went mute..i bided bye to abhay..walked to study as i had video conference with david...

its 12 now..i had completed all my work and even kitchen chores..i was getting bored..suddenly my eyes stuck with grocery bags of our.. I mean manik's flat..i thought for a while..but couldn't stop myself as my kids and manik won't turn up early, so i'm nowhere answerable to anyone..i took the bags, walked to the door..i stood exactly in front of the door..i was sweating badly..i don't why..maybe of past or maybe i don't know..uff..confusion..i pressed the password, which i knew..let it open or not..if it opens i will go in or else how i will i go in..i completed it, pressing password..praying all god that it opens..i wanted see my home..yes, i wanted to.. i craved to be here..only i know how i miss our home..how badly i missed my manik..

thud..

i opened my eyes, and breathed long, which i really didn't i was holding from long time..i didn't had fear that someone will catch me...because its my home, no one is allowed to question me,, it includes the manik malhotra also..but to my surprise Manik haven't changed password..strange..but kinda felt happy..

i pushed the door..god! aiyyappa..its so dark..i stepped in as i kept bag side,, as i started finding switches, even curtains were closed..monster mera ghar ka kuch aur halath banaya na..manik malhotra ur gone..i finally found the switch button..and there lit light everywhere just like how i like it..i turned to see my home..and there stood, she in glory with same peace...i had tears..as i roamed my head in every corner, it is in the same way how i left..not even single things were here and there..nor new things were bought..it is the same way..i walked inside..i felt i'm at home finally..i kept my phone on coffee table on drawing room..i walked inside..

i saw first room it was mukthi's room..which even today have frame of both..i walked in, it was in same way..he had personally asked interior to design according to mukthi's taste..but she never lived with us, not only her but whole fab4..and all credit goes to me..it was designed like royal..but i'm really susprised that manik even kept them the way it was..he always wanted his sister to come here but that never happened, i thought she will come after my departure but here the story is totally different after i left..i walked out seeing, smiling manik in the frame..

kicthen, i thought it will be disaster, but to my surprise, everything is perfect..even dishes were made..it is the way I kept..I opened all the cabinet's, it was in the same order..nor even pepper box here and there..I smiled seeing them..the way I used to cook for him..and he giving back hug to me..where we used to  have hell no. Of hugs, kisses, love bits..what not.. where he learnt how to make coffee for first time..when he first time learnt how to prepare poha..how to bake..I have thought him tiny to tiny things..and today he is his own chef..I sadly smiled.. as I felt there was no one to take care of him..

and I moved to next room..it was built for Alya and dhruv..but I entered and saw mrudula's frame with Manik..where he was kissing her cheeks..it was completely renovated..it was all girly room, just for the princess..I can easily say she have major part in manik's life..the way he smiles for her..I looked each corner..smiled seeing even small things..where she became reason of manik's smile..I can never thank this girl enough in my whole life..infact in all the group of kids, first my eyes wandered for her..she was the only girl I knew, as she had been with Manik many times, in which ever concert it is..I traced frames..she is different from others..I instantly liked this girl..but didn't got time to meet her properly..by the way what's between abhay and mrudula..I mean he stammers like hell..try to avoid her topic, Whenever manik try to speak about her..strange right? Im worried for my son..

I moved to theatre room.. it was all same..I saw same DVD's,which I and Manik had bought..I opened other cabinet's..but couldn't find any DVDs other than which we had bought..did he started punishing himself this level..a guilt started building within me..

We had two rooms..both have its own Beauty..which had the pics and frames of ours..it was same the way I had kept...I have personally designed our both rooms..this room is super and excellent as it is very simple the way I like my room..I sat on the bed..I can smell his Manly Cologne.. I snuggled into his side of bed..how badly I missed his warmth..how badly carved to be in his arms..huh! That were my best months of my life with him..I closed my eyes for small nap..as I can sleep peacefully feeling him..

I woke and I saw time it was 2..I rubbed my eyes..trust me that were the best sleep I had till date..because I always missed him..he had spoiled me very badly..I could never remember a single day, In which I slept properly..I felt sound sleep.. because he is my gaint teddy..where I would cuddle like a baby..where he held me like his baby..I walked out to see balcony..there I stood admiring beach..it was simply best view..Manik loves beach a lot..and that's the reason he had bought this flat..where u can have view of beach in every balcony of each room..not only beach but whole Mumbai along..because we are at peak of the building compare to other apartments...I remember, every night me and Manik would enjoy food seating here..having best Mumbai night  view..trust me they are the best..

I walked out of our room..where I came near stairs..it was cleanly maintained by him..not even single dust was visible..no one can say it's bachelor house..i bet no one..he had kept clean and tidy, which is unlike Manik Malhotra..I climbed the stairs..

mm..finally I reached another room, which was designed by manik, he said he will design this room for someone special, who deserve to be with us..and very near to our heart..but I couldn't reach his imagination..I walked in to see, if he got that someone special person, who can enter our world, where he will be in our heart forever..I went inside saw the view it was perfect..I looked towards head board..my jaws meet ground..because there stood biggest frame on the wall..

Abhay..was the only word came out of my mouth..I blinked my eyes two times..I was shocked to core seeing his frame..its was abhay's room..Manik had given this special room to his son..I was overwhelmed.. but when did he attached the frame over here..which my mind immediately answered..how can I forget about whom I'm talking.. he is The Manik Malhotra..he can get anything and everything in blink..I smiled with tears that, Manik accepted his son, unlike that day..I rubbed my tears..as I kissed the frame..his smile is just like manik..I traced them.. walked out.. not before seeing the room, which is exactly like the way abhay loves..

I opened the door..with all my trembling hand..this the room which witnessed our break up..my tears, our broken soul..our heart.. all the memories started from that day came infront of me..the way I walked out of same room, I had run all the way before he catches me, I felt disgust to stand there at that moment, I did what my mind told me to do, I could clearly see how Manik fell down, that sight of his pleading, can never be washed out from my memory, never..I have never seen him that broken, if he was broken I was no less,he broke me to millions..

I walked inside..it had same peace, which I was craving on whole earth... I sat on bed started crying..all the best and worst memory flashed in my mind..this room is really really special to me..where we had hell no. of memories..where Manik had cried for last time..I still remember, how he begged me for not leave him, before he was going to his concert ..but he made me do something which I never wanted to do..I hate u Manik..I badly do..I sat for few minutes seeing each frame of ours..i smiled seeing how happy we were..I walked to another drawing room..it connects three rooms and another one is jam room..

I walked to the room, it is cabir's room..even he never visited here..but Manik had a hope that, one day at least cabir will stay here..such things never happened..its basically how cabir wants,where extra speakers were attached to it, the way cabir loves..they were also clean..he had maintained our home above my expectations..im pretty impressed Malhotra..

I was about to open next room, my hands were on knob(it is the same room, which Manik has locked from entire world..only three person knows about it- and u will know soon..)I opened them..but heard my phone ringing..I thought of ignoring it..but what if Manik had called..I ran closing the door..but I turned back..as I felt cold and best warmth, when I opened the door..but I couldn't make out, why? My thoughts were broken by ring..I ran to pick them..this is not apartment its mini mansion..I cursed Manik for making this apartment so huge..I have to run for everything..I reached down..I was breathing irregularly, all thanks to jerk himself..I recieved before it goes miss call..I talked to him..bloody jerk knows me well.. Whenever I lie to him,he will guess in seconds..all thanks to my stammer..even after years of separation I could never lie to him on his face..I hate that fact.. when I was cursing and complaining about Manik to my aiyyappa..he told me to meet him, while driver was waiting for me..then I heard huge giggle of girls..trust me whoever it is they gonna have worth from me..how dare he, to laugh with them, I was damn jealous,u can't definitely help his girl in me, who highly possessive about him..I yelled his name but no use..I yelled louder this time..he ignored my question said to get ready and come.. and even said abhay was with him..and from where the hell he meet abhay? when I clearly know Manik went with avni..before I ask.. monster hang the call..I tried the no., Which I haven't saved but still i had his no. I opened it and saw it was his old no. which he used use from years.. this is something..I couldn't put in words..I thought of completing home tour but stopped because I need to see the girls, who had damn right to laugh with him..I locked the flat before switching of the light..

Car stopped near the beach..I gave questioning look to driver..he just opened the door for me..I was puzzled why was I here..it was little isolated area of beach..and adding to it I'm damn hungry..

Dr-mam, sir maybe here, u just call him..he said, I bobbed my head..as I walked little towards shore..I saw manik's car being parked..and I heard someone yelling near the shore..I looked that direction, it was abhay with some girl..I clearly couldn't say who it was.. basically I'm shocked because abhay with girl is last thing happens on the earth..I moved closer..where I saw abhay was irritating her to shit..and it was MRUDULA..he was punching sand castle, which she was building..where she used hit him, with all her energy, Whenever he does..they looked like mess with sand all over them.. that's surprising he allowed to someone to beat him, warna he will kick the person right left and centre..

I was shocked seeing all this, when I felt someone sliding there hands into my bare waist..I was about to shout in fear..but I felt familiar, and warmth.. titled to see manik back hugging me, seeing me with his all love keeping his chin above my shoulders..where avni was having piggy ride on his back with her cheeky smile..where we stood watching new couple without any awkwardness between us..did I say new couple?? What's wrong with u Nandini Murthy??

Oops!hogaya.. God hath Dard hora hai yaar..I don't know how it is..sorry for grammatical mistakes..because I didn't gave pro reading..so, mistakes ho tho sorry...

Guyss..I made it for u..in my free time..hope I reached ur expectations.. finger crossed..im done with my three exams..four more to go.. waiting for that day eagerly..then I will be regular, with my all stories I promise..

Now press star button and say how u felt..this was one hell update, where writing nandini's pov is too difficult..because she is bipolar to me..giving shades to her feeling is really tuff for me..but If u ask me, writing in manik's style is really easy for me..anyways u just tell how u felt..it was total package of every emotion..hope u enjoyed it..next is Manan with kids..and little family time..

Lots of love
