Finally the day came :

The whole mansion was decorated with lights balloons and all the decoration stuff.

The party was at malhotra mansion with limited number of guests as manik didn't want it to be a page 3 stuff.

In manan's room :

"mani...arghhh... aaiyappa... stop playing with Tara... come here and help me yaar... tumhara beta meri baath hi nahi manta...aaiyooo aur guests bhi aatae hi hongae..." An irritated nandini called manik as she was badly failing in making krish wear his b'day dress.

"uffo nanduu... itna kyu chilati ho.. bacchae dar jayangae... u go and get ready and let me handle the kids..." saying this manik placed tara in the cradle and took krish from nandini's arms and pushed her towards the washroom nandini sighed looking at manik playing with krish and walked into the washroom. She took a hot shower to relax herself and walked out after 30 minutes with her saree half draped as she needed manik's help always for wearing a saree.

"mani help me naa.." she asked looking at him who was busy adoring his kids and to her utter surprise he got the clothes on them.

"nandu marae do nahi teen bacchae hai..." and chuckled making nandini frown and continued "its okay..i candle handle any number of them... come let me deck up my biggest child now..." and pulled her close to himself and looked deep into her eyes making her loose to himself and said wrapping his hands around her waist

"u should not wear this colour... I just feel like ditching the idea of party..." and pecked her lips making her go all red. She hit on his chest playfully and said "mani... we r getting late... chalo help me first and u also change... everyone must be coming..." he again pulled her closer and said huskily moving his fingers on her bare back " u will be punished for this crime Mrs.Malhotra..." she clutched his shirt more tightly and closed her eyes breathing heavily at his proximity and his tone and making him smirk. To tease her more he ran his fingers along her spine with a dead slow pace and she hugged him tightly and said in a hardly audible tone "manii... please not now... after the party im all yours... please.. we will get late... pleaseee... abhi nai..."

He broke the hug and fused his lips with hers for a long passionate kiss and said after breaking the kiss " get ready to face the monster after the party..." and again claimed her lips for a brief kiss this time. The kids were the mute spectators of their parents romance but they hardly paid attention to what their parents were doing as they were busy playing with or more precisely fighting for their toys.

Manik quickly draped nandini in the saree and moved to the washroom to get ready while nandini got busy with her little make up and jewellery and other accessories. Manik came out wearing his black suit with a red bow looking handsome as ever. Nandini was staring at him through the mirror and said naughtily " u r looking no less Mr.Malhotra... u look hot in black" and continued with her earings. Manik came to her and said " to push me to cancel the party nanduuu..." and kissed her nape. She widened her eyes at his comment and said "all ready lets go down..." and turned to the kids and said "manik today naa.. u come down with Tara and ill move down with Krish.. what say.." and picked up Krish. Manik nodded and taking Tara in his arms the malhotra family moved to their garden.

All the guests were arriving and so did the Fab4 along with abhi navya and cavya. All greeted the couple for having such lovely kids and showered them with tonnes and loads of gifts. after a while manik asked the staff to get the cake.

Cake :

Manik held Tara's hand and Nandini held Krish's hand and four of them cut the cake and all sang the happy b'day song. Manik cut a little piece to feed nandini and didn't notice that when he bent down to take a piece Tara had grabbed the Mickey Mouse on the cake into her hands as it was her favourite cartoon. Manik was about to put the cake piece in nandini'd mouth when he got awarded with the total mickey mouse cream toy on his face. Tara left no place uncovered on his face with cream. Everyone gasped for a second and the very next moment burst out into fits of laughter looking at manik and much to everyones laughing session Tara started spreading the cream on her daddy's face seeing which everyone present there held their stomachs out of pain because of laughing so much but couldn't stop laughing. Seeing her sister Krish also was about to take a cartoon off the cake but nandini in time pulled him back. Navya controlled herself a bit and came to Manik and said taking Tara from is hands " bhai.. go wash your face warna... hahahahaha" and couldn't complete the sentence and burst out laughing again. Manik huffed and left the place to clean his face and all again went for another round of laughter.

All were having their desserts when manik got up and said "guys i.. no no actually we have an announcement..." and pulled nandini by his side and wrapped his arm around her waist pulling her more closer and all looked at manan curiously and manik continued

"vo it's a good news.. and the matter is that ki..."

But he couldn't finish his words when all his friends except mukthi and aliya who wanted to do so but couldn't pounced upon them pulling them into a rib crushing hug startling manik as well as nandini. Manik broke the hug forcefully and said

"hum nae toh kuch bataya hi nahi.." to which navya replied chucking "bhai aap toh badae fast niklae in dono kae first b'day pae hi teesarae ka plan kar liya... thoda toh gap lae latae... but koi nai... im sooo happy..." and again hugged nandini. Nandini turned red more than a tomato but manik stood their confused and after processing her words again he understood what navya was saying and said after parting navya from nandini and pulling her back in his arms

"tum log bhi na.. had karate ho.. its not that.." for which everyone in unision said "WHAT...!!" manik looked at nandini and said facing his friends again

"nandini is joining music again from which she took a break after coming to know that she is pregnant..." and kissed her cheek. She smiled brightly and nodded a yes looking at all the startling faces of their friends. All once again jumped on them for a hug and congraluted her on her decision. After some more chit chatting the party was called off and all retired to their respective houses.

Manan's room :

Nandini fed the children and made them sleep and after placing them in the cradle moved towards balcony where manik was standing. She wrapped her arms around him from back. He smiled and pulled her to his front side hugging her and said after kissing her forehead "so gayae bacchae..?" she nodded a yes and rested her head on his heart and after a minute she giggled making him frown and he asked "hasi kyu aa rahi hai tumhae..." nandini broke the hug and said covering her mouth with her palm controlling her giggles and nodded her head in a no. manik tried to pull her towards him but she ran away laughing loudly filling the whole balcony with her sweet melodious voice. Manik tried catching her but she missed every time. He finally caught her and pinned her to the nearest wall sandwiching her between his body and the wall and asked panting

"what is that making u laugh soo much.." she first nodded her head in a no but replied when he pressed himself more on her making her hiss

"vo.. Tara... hahaha... cake... hahaha" and again laughed thinking about the incident that happened few hours ago in the party. He smirked and said bending close to her ears nibbling her earlobe " so that's making u laugh soo much..." shivers ran down her spine and she clutched his vest tightly and closed her eyes. "bolo naa.." he asked her again but she was lost in his touch and was not in a condition to reply to his queries. He swiftly scooped her in his arms and moved inside their room and placed her on the bed and hovered over her and said "punishment time Mrs.Malhotra..." and fused his lips with hers... and the night continued till dawn...
