Ok guys here is the another update for all of you...

Well guys please do vote and comment on the story..

Avoid mistakes if any..

Manik entered Raj's room to find him still awake and tossing around.. Well actually Raj used to have some uneasiness at times but as usual he never complained about it neither to Manik nor to Nandini... So he would just bear with it.. 

M: Papa are you fine.. Why haven't you slept till now..

Raj: Nothing beta bas was not feeling sleepy.. But why are you looking disturbed..

Manik just hugged him tight and said I am not able to help her papa..

Raj: Kya baat hai beta.. Tell me clearly...

Manik took two to three deep breath and then looked at Raj and informed him that tomorrow is the death anniversary of Nandini's parents..

Raj also felt bad for her but he knows that Manik at present can only help her to come out of it and so he said..

Raj: Manik I know what you are going through but for tomorrow you need to forget yourself and live for her.. Stay with her the whole day to make her believe that she is no longer all alone.. She needs Tender love and care which I know is difficult for you but at least for the promise you gave her to be beside her in all good and bad  be with her and give her the that warmth that she at present is providing you and me us both.. She is lacking that warmth but still she is providing to both of us..

Manik nodded and once again hugged Raj tight as if for now losing all his worries in that hug for now.. While after being a bit light hearted he moved back to the room giving instructions to Raj that if he does not feel well then to call them immediately.. When Manik moved to room he found Nandini making their bed..

Manik smiled at her which she now returned and that also a genuine one giving an assurance to Manik that she is fine for now but  a bit disturbed.. He moved to change and took his place beside her but today he took her in a hug and said those words which were needed for Nandini at that point of time..

M: I am there with you.. 

Nandini just let out a sigh of relief which she herself was not aware because she relaxed with his those words.. It was like some soothing Magic created at that very moment for her..   

Being exhausted with all these things soon Nandini was fast asleep as being in his arms she had that safe feeling.. while Manik was just stroking her hair till he found her to be in deep sleep. 

Manik's POV

I will be there with you Nandini.. dad is right you just need a presence by your side at this point.. it is my turn to return a bit of favours that you have been doing for me.. I mean just imagine what would have I done if you won't enter my life in form of angel.. No one can take care of dad in the way you are taking.. You are making him happy to that extent that sometimes he himself is so carefree that he forgets that he has a short span of life to live..

End of POV

Thinking all this soon sleep took over him and both slept snuggling in each other's arms..

At around 4:00 am Nandini's alarm rang which disturbed  both Manan's sleep.. Nandini asked Manik to sleep as she has some work..

Manik did not buy it at least for today but he pretended to sleep.. while Nandini got ready in white clothes silently and went down to the Pooja room..

She was collecting all the Pooja things and then was about to pick up a whole lot which included the donation things and all the pooja related things.. But to her surprise she was soon supported with a pair of hands which was of no one else but Manik...

N: aap kyu uth Gaye itna jaldi.. I will manage..

M: I promised to stay beside you today.. and I am just keeping my promise..

N: thank you..

M: you don't need to...

Manan had this formal communication.. It seemed there were no emotions involved but still if you go deep down their hearts something got a birth today which even we do not know for now..

Both Manik and Nandini left for temple where the Pooja was to be conducted by both of them and then pndiitji asked them to pass all the food To the needy and they both completed all the rituals and returned home.. all the while Manik was a silent supporter while Nandini was feeling better on this day after years..

While after returning home they had breakfast with Raj and as scheduled they took him for a check up where the doctors said that he is showing some amazing recovery..

If such things continue then they can definitely delay the time that he has.. this news brought a never ending smile on both Manan's lips and their eyes twinkled with the news that he is getting better...

Manik then requested them to arrange a nurse for Raj who can stay with him all the time.. while Raj taking the opportunity of good mood of Manan said them to go on a trip and that is his orders.. Manik had no other option but to oblige to it..

While Nandini had nothing to say to it.. on reaching home Raj was behind Manik's back to make a booking for them which he said that he will after asking a location to Nandini...

In room..

Nandini's POV

Mom dad I am not sad today after such a long time.. you know I did not feel lonely and left out even for a second today and that is because Manik was there with me all this while today..

He does not speak a word but he was there as a backbone to me.. you know today you guys gave the best gift to me in the form of the news that Raj dad is recovering..

I am so so very happy today that atleast in form of a parent I have him.. I really try to find you in him dad... I just so wish that you guys would have been here I really miss you but I just want that you give your blessings to us all and I really pray to you to just cure Raj dad and keep him in form of you guys with me..

End of POV..

She was in the room doing her daily chores when Manik came in..

M: Nandini..

Nandini looked at him and gestured him to continue..

M: papa is really behind me that I take you somewhere and actually I also want to take you somewhere just before you start your work.. you see it will be a change for both of us..

N: but papa... 

M: it is a matter for just few days he will be fine. Please tell me places you will like to visit...

N: Manik it is actually not needed.. 

M: Nandini it will be a change for both of us and we will get some time to know each other..

N: Manik still but it is ok you can select anything as per your wish..

M: please tell me.. I would be happy if you open up about it to me..

N: I like seas and beaches any place would be fine for me..

M: fine I will book a place accordingly.. do you want to go shopping for it...

N: no no.. I have all the things it is fine..

Manik understood that she does not want to buy stuff and all but he did not argue and thought to look after it himself..

While after dinner both were lying in bed when Manik said..

M: you know Nandini I can never thank you enough for coming in my life.. I am so so tha...

Before he could complete Nandini kept a hand on his lips..

N: you don't need to.  We form same part of the family and whatever I do I do it for my family.. Manik I have already lost my family but now this is my family and I mean it by all means..

As she was saying all this a tear dropped from her eye while Manik moved towards her and kissed her tears while he then said

M: we will always be your family Nandini...

Saying this he kissed her eyes one by one... As soon as he kissed her other eye Nandini opened her eyes and they both had a and eye lock..

So How was the update..

Manan getting an emotional bond for each other..

Developing relationship.. But will they ever be able to name this emotions as love..

Stay blessed stay happy ppl..
