The day started too early for Nandini and Mukti.

Abhimanyu room

Abhi was sleeping keeping the pillow above his head as two chatter box were yelling loudly finally after changing himself in different positions he gave up and got up to see the condition of his room like just a storm has pass throught it, it  was completely messed up with clothes n shoes of mukti lying down on floor and bed and she stood there near the dressing table looking in the mirror holding three t-shirts n two dresses.
Abhimanyu face palmed his self n silently got up to move out of the room without being notice par before he could step out he felt like some evil force tried to drag him in opposite direction and started talking something which he could barely understand.
Well poor soul was yet in sleep.

Abhi: Who the hell r u ??? Small evil demon
He said with his half open eyes trying to register what's going on.

While the person who dragged him in his room again started shouting n crying at the same time while hitting his brother with the pillow.

Nan: You don't know who I m bhai wait I will show u. Demon na
She said and hit the pillow above his head.

Abhi: ouch

Again there came a punch on his stomach

Abhi: stop it nandini it hurts yaar.
He turn around to save his self

Nan:Good u came to know it's me. I came to help u with your packing and u
She said hitting the pillow on his back while he looked in opposite direction towards Mukti.

Mukti stood there with two t-shirts in her hand

She said smiling waiting for his reply

Abhi: Blue

Abhi saving his self from his angry bird sister.

Mu: Par I like pink
She pouted

Abhi : ouch nandu sorry na are u going to kill me

Nan: Yes any doubt
She said trying to reach up his height to pull his hair.

Mu: Abhi I think I will take both pink and blue.

Manik knocked on the door par didn't get any reply he could hear Abhi shouts

Abhi: Nandu stop it you are going to break all my hair i will become bald yaar
He shouted, nandini was sitting on top of him while he laid on the bed and she was pulling his hair.

Manik enterd inside while Maria peeked from the door to see what's going on

Man: Abhi
He said not being sure

Abhimanyu saw him while nandini was shock to hear his voice
She immediately got up from him n sat down on the bed feeling awkward.

Abhi: Good morning
He got up from bed setting his hair properly.

Maria: Good mouning (morning) friendz
She said coming inside the room giving her bright beautiful smile.

Abhi: Good morning angel
He said picking her up n kissing her cheeks while maria too did the same.

Man: What was going on ???
He said looking at the mess and nandini who was sitting now silently on bed playing with a fingers

While Mukti was throwing few clothes down in the heap of clothes lying on the floor other she was putting in her suitcase folding them properly.

Abhi: Well a storm just pass by my room u see.
He said looking at Mukti n the state of his room
While mukti after hearing this angrily glared at him.

Abhi: And a wild cat attacted me a minute ago.
He said looking at nandini

Manik understood n smiled

Man: Well Abhi u could call it a wild rat after taking her size and height into consideration.
He said laughing and Abhi too joined in.

Nandini was fuming in anger after hearing this, she stood up and pointed her finger towards Manik

Nan: You effil tower I m not short okay you are the one who is so tall.
She said angrily

Man: Effil tower ???
He said being astonished after hearing the name which she used to address him.

Nan: haa u r effil tower and also a monster after considering your size and anger.
She shouted and showed her tongue.

Manik was shock to hear this, he stared at her angrily.

While Abhimanyu and Mukti too stood baffled and Maria she was confused not knowing what's going on.

Abhi: When did u see Manik's anger ???
From nowhere Abhi said this which was indeed true.

Nan: I didn't see yet par I can make out from his face he is a angry man look at the frown above his head.
She said pointing out her index finger.

Mu: Yup point to be noted ur honour
She said giggling

Man: Mukti
He looked at her annoyingly

Man: And Madam what are u trouble magnet. Wherever u go u attract some trouble for urself huh including shorty with tiny figure n big round eyes.
He said describing her.

Nan: How dare u no one has described me like this before. You qutum minar
She said throwing pillow at him angrily.

Abhi: Not again
He turned the other side to safe Maria from getting hurt and moved out of the room without being notice by other three.

While nandini was throwing pillow one by one on Manik and her aim was so good that it was hitting him.

Mu: Nandini
She shouted to stop her par Nandini was too busy to hear her shouts. Being irritated she started doing her work again.

Manik somehow reached her and hold her hands.

Man: Stop it shorty
He said being irritated

Nan: I m not shorty u lumbu
She too shouted trying to free her hands.

Manik grip on her hands were so tight that she failed miserably.

Finally giving up she said pouting

Nan: leave my hand Manik

Man: First say sorry.
He ordered her angrily as his ego was hurt

Nan: in ur dreams u monster leave my hand.

Mukti didn't care what was going on she packed her bag and went inside the closet room to get Abhimanyu clothes pack and started packing his suitcase there itself leave the two alone in the room.

Nandini kept on trying to get out of his grip.

Man: Give up Nandini just say sorry I will leave u.
He said this for nth time as by now from past 10 min she was trying all her way to get out from his grip

Nan: Nandini Murty never give up
She said proudly and her next act left manik shock.

She bite on his hand, Manik left her hand in pain.

Man: Ouch

Nandini ran out of the room but before leaving turn around
Nan: Monster Manik Monkey Malhotra 😋
She said showing her tongue running outside the room.

While Manik stood angrily rubbing his hand n crusing her under his breathe.

Before leaving Manik informed Cabir about his plan he was happy to hear that and also told him about Navya being nandini's friend while nandini is  Abhimanyu's sister , cabir was shock to hear this par was happy as he remember navya talking about nandini and he too spoke once to her.

Nandini too informed Navya about everything. And told about Cabir connection with his brother's best friend. After listening to this she was relieved and happy knowing her to be husband was someone know to nandini and her family. She did show trantum of her going to ooty but finally agreed and told her to enjoy.

They had decided to leave at 11.00 am par they left around 6.00 pm best know reason was nandini's packing which was not done and Manik who had important conference meeting which gave an excuse to Abhimanyu to leave for office to attend his meeting and took him long time to return which made Mukti mad at everyone in the house.

She was so angry that she threw the suitcase on Abhimanyu when he entered the house who was informing them they are going in his private jet.

Finally after few sorry all were back to normal except Manik who didn't talk to nandini.

All the while from home to airport Manik avoided Nandini he didn't look once also at her.
While nandini tried to talk to him but he used to pass an angry glare towards her.

Abhimanyu was busy with his phone sending mails and cancelling all his meeting for three days. Mukti was excited and had taken Maria on her lap and was busy talking to her to their way to airport.

In the flight

Abhimanyu and Mukti sat together they were talking on some random topics.

Manik sat with Maria and as usually Maria was blabbering and asking him questions.

Maria: papa why we goin to koty
She asked climbing on his papa lap

Manik made her sit comfortable on his lap n started moving her hands on her small tiny hair setting them properly.

Man: We are going for holiday there princess it's a hill station and a new place for u to see. We will enjoy. Okay

Maria nodded and moved from his lap to the window to see down.

Fianlly the flight was going to take off.
Manik holded maria hand to assure her he was here beside her as he knew she was scared of take off and landing.

Abhimanyu too looked behind to see Maria whether she was okay and found her holding her papa hands tightly and being a bit neverous.

Which made Abhi worried par Manik gestured him that she will be okay and not to worry.

Abhi smiled back and looked to his side to find nandini closing her eyes and sitting on a single digit seats to the left.

Abhi called her out

Abhi: Nandu u r okay you want me to come and sit beside you
He asked being a caring brother.

Nandini opened her eyes n nodded in a NO and close her eyes again.

Abhi: okay
He said being unsure

Manik looked in Nandini direction to see her closing her eyes tightly and clenching her hands to the seat sitting with a scared face and her lips moving in synchronization as if she was praying something.
Seeing this his lip molded in a smile as she was looking so cute while been scared.

He kept on staring her face with a smile finally the sign of to take off their belt display which brought back life in nandini she looked to her side to find Manik staring at her with smile on his face.
She raise her eye brow askimng 'WHAT HAPPENED' while Manik came back to his sense and looked away.

He saw towards Maria who was busy looking outside the window.

Man: What is my baby seeing ?
He asked poking her arms

Maria: Papa u can see stars ?
She asked again looking outside.

It was 7.30 and already dark outside.

Man: Yes I can see
He said taking her belt out and making her sit on her lap

Maria sat on his lap facing the window
Maria: I can't see papa
She said sadly pouting with tears in her eyes

Manik kissed her cheeks
Man: For that I don't need to see outside it's right infront of me, papa star is his princess Maria Manik Malhotra. My Star and My Life.🌟🌟🌟
He said hugging her tightly

While Maria smiled brightly on his words and kissed his cheeks, cubbing his face she said

Maria: Papa I Love U ❤

Man: Papa love's Maria more.
He pulled her cheeks n hug her again.

They started talking with maria again asking questions and manik listening and answer them.

Nandini had her eyes all this time on manik and maria she was looking at father and daughter true relation and thinking of her days with her appa how she would do the same keep on talking to him without shuting her mouth even for a minute.

She was in tears and looked outside the window inorder to hid them from others and was crying silently remembering her old memories with her parents.

Finally wiping ner tears she thought
Nandini self talk : Maria be, so happy when she is with Manik. She is too reserve type of girl I tried so much to befriend her par she remain always grumpy. Probably she does not like me as she is so good to bhai and also Mukti too now, today in car she was with her sitting on her lap, only with me she is grumpy. Ayyiappa am I so bad that a small baby also hate's me now.
She asked with tears

Nan: Manik is also angry I should have not done that how can I bite him I should say sorry what if his hand is paining

She looked towards his side again to see him busy with his phone reading something.

She took her bag and search for oilanment taking it out she moved towards him making sure her bhai does not notice.

Nandini came near manik and called his name.

Nan: Manik
She said being unsure how he will react and sat down beside him as one seat was empty.

While manik was shock to she her red eyes as due to crying they at turned red and she yet had few dry tears.

Nan: I m sorry for morning. I should have not done that sorry.
She said holding her ears.

While Manik was blankly looking at her.

She took his hand and put the oilanment on the hand which was hurt, it yet had a red mark.

She touch the red mark and asked caressing it
Nan: Does it hurt ?

Manik nodded in a NO
He pulled her towards him n caressed her cheeks and kissed her forehead while he did so nandini close her eyes in anticipation.

Manik looked at her face and caressed her cheeks yet while nandini opened her eyes and blushed moving her face to another side.

They were brought back to reality by Abhimanyu voice.

Abhi: Nandu when did u come here ?
He asked turning behind to see her  sitting beside Manik

Nandini looked at him shocked
And Manik reaction was also same.

They prayed that he didn't see anything.

Abhi: Kya hua tum dono ko aisa kya dekhen rahi ho jisi bhoot dekhen liya ho. Aisa kya kar rahe thai tum
He asked suspiciously seeing their face.

Nan: Wha??t Kuch nai bhai what u saw huh
She asked being unsure the most stupid question which made Abhi more confused.

Abhi: What do u mean what I saw aisa kya u both have done that should have not seen.
He asked again making them both blaffled.

Man: Kuch nai Abhi we were just talking on random topic.
He said smiling nervously

Abhi made a face ' Oh I See' and turn ahead as the announcement was there to fasten their seat belt they were about to land.

Nandini and Manik sigh in relief.

The plane was about to land and again Maria was holding Manik hand tightly but along with her there was one more person sitting beside him holding his hand tighty.

Nandini open her eyes to see Manik reaction on her holding his hand but he smiled at her in assurances and took her hand in his and hold it tightly which made nandini smile brightly and she kept on staring in his eyes and so did he kept his eyes fix on her.

The flight had landed long back but they were to busy to realize, but again the voice which they didn't want too hear brought them back from their lala land

Abhi: What's going on ???

Which made Nandini scared and Manik shocked again.
