Being a mother, isn't it a wonderful feeling..?

Well, a non-married girl probably can't answer to this question but still, she would be able to say that it will be a magical feeling once she too feels it..

Being a mother is one of the best feeling a girl could feel. Especially, when she's giving birth to a soul who's blood is of her's and her love's.

It takes a lot of care and problems to give birth to a baby and in that situation, she wants only one thing. Love. Love from her better half. If she's pampered and loved by her better half, then there's nothing she needs more to be happy in that phase of her life.

Some doesn't get to know the feeling due to many issues and Nandini Malhotra also felt the same kind of feeling running in her heart..!!

In MruNi's Apartment

Nandini, sat on the bed in her bedroom while staring outside through the widow, thinking it might calm the hurricanes running inside her. Its been 2-3 days, she started to feel sick. In fact, a lot sick. She was surely not on her PMS, in fact, she has missed it, she cared less since its normal for a girl and its not the first time, she's getting late by 3 or 4 days. But, then this time, she felt herself weak. Morning sickness used to attack her to that extent which always made Mrunal to be its victim. Taste differences in her made her a food phobic. She didn't feel like eating anything which she used to like, in fact she started to dream about eating Non-Veg and this made her think that she got hit by her favorite truck named Grumpy coffee as he's the one who can even die for Non-Veg food..

To top on it, she puked whatever she eats. Her mood swings is another set of hazard. She started to become snappy and the next second, she starts to cry which made Mrunal believe that she's on PMS even when Nandini denied it..

On joining all the dots together, she reached the conclusion with her heart beating to its highest. Perks of being a Gynecologist..!!

With her shivering legs, she walked inside the hospital and prepared a prescription for herself and got done with her blood test and on reading the results, she felt herself getting giddy.

Why wouldn't she when she just got to know that she's expecting a baby. Her Grumpy coffee's baby..!!

From that moment, she preferred to be silent and got herself comfortable in her bedroom thinking about her messed up life..!!

Slowly, her hands traveled up to her belly in where her..oops, their baby is living in the form of a bud. Unlike, Nandini Murthy or Malhotra, this time, she cried in happiness..

Indeed, she wanted to get away from Manik but that doesn't mean she can ignore the feeling of being a mother. She can't ignore the life budding in her. She can't ignore the feeling in her which screams that she's going to give birth to her baby which happened to be the blood of her love..!!

Nandini ( whispered ): Mamma loves you already, you know. Something hard to happen has happened, Nandini Mu..Nandini Malhotra got impressed this soon and surprisingly, you didn't even do anything to impress me. Tumhara Papa bhi ye kar nahi paaya, ithni jaldhi..!!

She smiled to herself but then her smile didn't last long..

Nandini: How am I going to leave Grumpy coffee, now..!!

She sighed audibly and rested her head on the head-board when she heard a loud voice. She walked out of the bedroom in confusion, only to widen her eyes..

Nandini: What the hell are you doing, Mruno..?

Mrunal, ignored her and got up from the floor as she has already hit her a** by the floor..

Mrunal ( bored face ): I'm working, can't you see..?

Nandini ( confused ): Working..? What kind of work are you talking about..? Aur ye tum..? Ye tum kya kar rahi thi yaha pe..?

Mrunal ( grinned ): Arey, I was painting the walls..

Nandini ( irritated ): I can see it, Miss Genius Khooni, I'm asking you about it. Why the hell are you painting the walls..?

Mrunal ( excitedly ): My little fluffy or your little grumpy coffee is gonna step in this apartment soon, so I need to make our apartment beautiful to welcome him/her..

Nandini palmed her face on hearing it..

Nandini: Mruno..when did you start to have amnesia..? Don't you know it takes 9 months for a baby to come out..

Mrunal ( casually ): Of course, I know that. Par mujhe bohath kuch karna hai na. Yaha apartment mein ek kamra design karna hai. Singhania Mansion mein ek kamra design karna hai aur phir tumhara Malhotra Mansion mein bhi karna hai..

On hearing her last sentence, Nandini's face lost that smile which she had after seeing her ever excited best friend's care for her and her unborn baby. Since the moment, Mrunal got her senses back, she's been planning on how to welcome the baby..

Nandini: Malhotra Mansion..

She whispered and occupied a couch while running her fingers through her hair and this caught Mrunal's attention. She sighed and took a seat beside her..

Mrunal: Ab plan kya hai tera..? Still on denying to get back with jeeju..?

Nandini stared at Mrunal with an annoyed look on her face..

Nandini: Why is everything bad with me..?

Mrunal ( sighed ): Because, you decided to sell your brain somewhere and you ended up in doing something that you never wanted to do..

Nandini glared at her..

Mrunal: What..? You're being ridiculous here..You should have had a word with jeeju before leaving him..

Nandini ( annoyed ): What am I supposed to say..? Hey grumpy coffee, I'm leaving because I just got to know the truth that..

Mrunal ( interrupted ): Witch, you betcha take care of your temper. Its not good for you to get angry, either..

Nandini ( sighed ): Now, I can't even get angry..!!

Mrunal held Nandini's hands and spoke every softly..

Mrunal: Fluffy, you need to understand the situation in here. Ismein teri koi galathi nahi hai..

Nandini ( sniffed ): Galathi hai. Mujhe shadi se pehle hi inke barein mein research karna chahiye tha warna ye sab nahi hojatha. I'm seriously guilty. You know, I wouldn't have done it intentionally..

Mrunal gulped the lump in her throat..

Mrunal: Please tell me that you're crying..!!

Nandini: Mein nahi royi..

And this time, Mrunal started sniffing..

Mrunal: Oh God, this means, she was crying all these days due to her pregnancy mood swings. Mein tho soch rahi thi PMS ki wajah se hogi but then she's pregnant which means, its included in her mood swings. 9 months..poore 9 months ko kaise sambhaloongi mein..Take my life away..Arey nahi, mujhe tho baby se bhi milna hai..then, please reunite her with Jeeju, maybe he'll be able to handle her, right..

Mrunal's thoughts came to an end, when she saw Nandini eating chocolates which was like a thunderstorm for her..

Nandini hated chocolates..!!

Mrunal: Mood swings are seriously weird. I'm actually getting scared of getting pregnant once I get married. What if I wanted to eat Hippopotamus when I get pregnant and my husband divorce me for it..

Mrunal hit her head and concentrated in painting and Nandini started to ponder over her thoughts while eating chocolate which now seemed tasty for her..

Nandini: How am I going to say it to Grumpy coffee..? Agar bathaun tho mujhe truth bhi bolna padega aur agar mein sach batha diya tho phir wo confuse hojaega. Whom will he chose..?!

She shook her head in stress and munched on her chocolates to come up with a solution..

At night

In Malhotra Mansion

In MaNan's Bedroom

Manik was pacing from here to there in tension. He rubbed his face and then took a deep breathe..

Manik: Why would she go to hospital today..? Is, she finally stepping out of her hideout..? Nah, Lilliput is intelligent, she's doing something behind my sight..

The ringtone of his mobile broke his trance. He picked it up on the next ring after seeing the caller ID..

Manik: James, spit it out..fast..

James ( nervously ): Sir, I had checked with the Airlines and got to know that Mrs. Malhotra is having a flight to Canada for day after tomorrow. Its a reservation made by some...

Before James could complete, Manik clenched his fist and threw the mobile which broke it..

Manik ( gritted his teeth ): You wanted to go away from me, right. Fine, let's take it in your own way. No anger, no justification, simple and plain Nandini Malhotra's strategy to get someone on her fingertips. But, this time, it will be you on my fingertips, Mrs. Malhotra..

He smirked at the end..

In MruNi's Apartment..

" Ding Dong " " Ding Dong "

On hearing the doorbell, Nandini gulped hard and rushed to the door and peeped thriugh it but found someone other than her Grumpy coffee..!!

Well, his height is more than enough for her to identify him even from a 20 K.M. distance..!!

She opened the door and then the person turned making Nandini to gasp in shock..

Nandini: Pops...!!

The person smiled widely and took her in his arms while twirling her making Nandini to believe that he's really her Pops..

Nandini: Someone please ask him to stop..!!

And he put her down while she balanced herself to stop her from falling and glared at her Pops who was smiling sheepishly. He pushed her inside and got himself inside the apartment with the trolley bad he had in his hand..

Nandini ( irritated ): Care to explain, Mr. Mohnish Kapoor..!!

The person took hold of her arm and moved to the couch and settled down and then shrugged his shoulders..

Mohnish: Can't I come to meet my daughter..?

Nandini ( sarcastically ): The same daughter who asked you to stay away until she gets back to Canada again..?!!

Mohnish ( bobbed his head ): Yupppppp....

This irritated her..

Nandini: Pops..

Mohnish: Arey what..? Mrunal told me that you're in need of us so we came for you..

Nandini ( frowned ): We..?

Mohnish: Oh shit..

He stood up in shock and ran to the door and opened it only to see a girl, who was going to ring the bell but on seeing him, her expression turned to anger..

Mohnish ( grinned ): Oh Hi, Ree..How did you reach here..?

Girl ( sarcastically ): I just took an Airplane to reach 10th floor from the ground floor..

Mohnish grinned again making her to scowl at him. She pushed him aside and rushed inside only to make Nandini to feel giddy again..

Nandini: Tell me I'm dreaming, please..!!

Girl: Diiiiiii...

The girl shouted and pounced on Nandini which did make her feel shocked..

Nandini: Mathlab, I wasn't dreaming..

The girl broke the hug and gave a tight kiss on Nandini's cheeks and this brought her out of the shock zone..

Nandini ( glared ): Choti...!!

Girl ( grinned ): Hey, my beautiful Di..!!

Nandini ( annoyed ): Tum yaha kya kar rahi ho..?

Girl ( pouted ): Aap khush nahi hai kya mujhe yaha dekhke..?

Nandini ( glared ): You expect me to get happy on seeing you when I told you I will be coming back to Canada within 2 more days..?

Girl ( shrugged her shoulders ): I wanted to visit India..

Nandini narrowed her eyebrows at her..

Mohnish: Oh come on, Nannu, what's the big deal if we wanted to visit India..? We can leave after 2 days, along with you right..

Nandini sighed. How is she gonna describe her life story to her Pops and her sister, now..?!!

Girl: FYI, Mr. Mohnish Kapoor, I'm not leaving the country this soon. Waise bhi, mein aapse bath nahi karnewali..

Mohnish: What did I even do..?

Girl ( scowled ): You left me on the road when we were supposed to surprise Di, together..

Mohnish ( grinned sheepishly ): Um..I just got excited..Sholly..!!

Both the girls gave him a bored look..

Nandini: Keep it with you, Mr. Kapoor. You use that word almost for the entire lifetime. Now, Miss Reeha Raman Murthy, what the hell did you mean by not leaving this country any sooner..?

" Chotiiiiii " someone shouted and Nandini palmed her face..

Reeha: Mrunal Di....

And the duo hugged the life out of each other..

Nandini ( murmured ): Ab patha nahi ye dhono mere sar ke saath kya karnewale hai..!!

She slumped on the couch and then her brain started to work..

Nandini ( pissed ): Mrunal Singhania...!!

This made the duo to break their so-long hug..

Mrunal: What, witchie..?!

Nandini ( angrily ): You..this..this was your plan, right..?

Mrunal grinned at her..

Mrunal: Tum kithni achi se jaanthe ho mujhe..?

Nandini threw the basket of fruits at her which she dodged in the next second..

Mrunal: Abey oye, Grumpy coffee ki Lilliput, ye meri amaanath hai, so don't you dare play with it..

Reeha ( frowned ): Fruits bhi amanath nikli aapko..?

Mrunal ( shrugged her shoulders ): Abey wo mene apni salary se khareedha, you should respect my feeling..!!

Reeha gave her an irritated look, while Mohnish occupied the couch beside Nandini and held her hand making her to look at him..

Mohnish: Jo bhi hua, wo bathana chahiye, Miss..oops..Mrs..Mrs what..?

Nandini ( pissed ): I'm going to be a Miss, again..!!

Reeha ( confused ): What do you mean..?

Mrunal: She meant, she's planning to get divorced soon..

Mohnish/Reeha: What the f***..!!!

Nandini ignored them..

Mohnish: Tum divorce karnewali ho apne pathi ko..?

Nandini: Tho phir mein apni pathni ko divorce karun..?

Reeha ( irritated ): Shut up, di. How could you even think of divorcing my jeejs. Like, mere liye bade Bhai jaisa hai wo jisse mene abhi thak nahi dekha and you thought of divorcing him when I think he's perfect for you only by knowing him through Mrunal Di's words..

Nandini: FYI, wo tumhara bada Bhai nahi hai, if it all he was, then it would be a sin for me to marry him. So, don't make my marriage as an issue. Aur tum, ithna tension kyu le rahi ho, its common for a couple to get divorced..

Reeha : It's not common when I got to know that my Di is already in love with my jeejs..

Nandini snapped her head at Mrunal who wore a casual look on her face..

Mrunal: If course, I told her the entire thing except for the base of your marriage..

Reeha: Base..?

Mrunal shrugged her shoulders and Reeha turned to Nandini, who looked down..

Mohnish: Base as in, her marriage being a contract based..!!

Reeha gasped in shock and then looked at Nandini, who was glaring at Mohnish by now..

Reeha: Di...?!

Nandini ( sighed ): Alright. Yes, I had a contract marriage because there was no choice. Boyfriend machine was hell bent on getting me married to some of her ex-boyfriend so that she could get the properties in her name as for now, until you turn 21, even your properties along with mine are on my name and she could get it easily after killing me if I happen to marry any of the jerk she knows. I did a contract marriage so that I could get away from the guy whom she asked me to get married..

Reeha looked hurt more than angry. She was hurt that her sister chose to hide such an important decision of her life from her..

Reeha: And you didn't tell me..?!

Nandini looked up at her and then sighed..

Nandini: I never shared anything related to her with you..

Reeha ( angrily ): You always do it, Di. You never share anything with me. Hamesha paraya maanthi hai aap mujhko..

She stormed inside Mrunal's bedroom making Nandini to get hurt. She looked down to control her tears. Tears were never her thing but her pregnancy hormones just ditched her..

Mrunal ( pissed ): Choti..

She rushed behind Reeha in the bedroom while in the living room, Mohnish pulled Nandini in his embrace but she couldn't get the warmth that she wanted..

Mohnish ( lovingly ): Its okay Nannu. Tum Ree ko janthi ho na, Raman ke gussa usko bohath ache se mili hai. Thoda shant hone dho, phir dekhne, wo wapas aaegi..

Nandini couldn't form words so she simply nodded. She was hurt. And she didn't know whom to share it with apart from her Grumpy coffee..!!

Mohnish: Waise, do you really love him..?

Nandini looked up a him who was looking at her in concern..

Nandini: Pops, let's not talk about it..please..?

Mohnish sighed and nodded. She doesn't let him in her life, though she loves him as much as she loves her Papa, she never let him in her life. She showed herself to be a carefree girl and did everything on her own. She never wanted anyone's help, no matter whatever it is..

Nandini: Pops, I'll get the guest room cleaned..

She walked inside a guest room and started to wipe the dirt away with a broom when someone pulled the broom out of her hands..

Nandini ( glared ): Mruno..

Mrunal ( glared ): Did you just forget that you're not allowed to do all these stuffs..?

Nandini ( frowned ): But, its just a broom..!!

Mrunal: So what..? You're weak and you need "full rest" until you complete 4 months..

Nandini ( whined ): 4 months thak..? Mujhe bina kaam karke rehna mathlab ek Lion ke den mein jaake uske lioness ko kidnapp karna jaise hai..

Mrunal: Unfortunately, yaha koi lion ke den nahi, warna mein zaroora tujhe leke jaathi..

Nandini gave her a pissed look which she ignored and started to work..

Mrunal: Apne kamre mein jao, ye sab tum nahi karoge..

Nandini: I'm not gonna listen to you..

Mrunal ( nodded ): Fine, I'm going to call Jeeju and then he'll reach you soon-i-sh..!!

Nandini stomped her feet and got out of the room making Mrunal smile in victory.

Nandini's Bedroom

Nandini walked inside to see Reeha sitting on the bed with her head hung down.

Nandini: Kuch chahiye, Madam..?

Reeha bobbed her head in yes, still with her head hung down..

Nandini: Aur wo kya hai..?

Reeha held her ears and parted her trembling lips to speak..

Reeha: I'm..I'm sorry..

Nandini hid her smile..

Nandini: 24 hrs nahi hua abhi thak, isliye aapke sorry se koi faida nahi hai..

Nandini was about to move to the other side of her bed when Reeha held her hand and rested her head on it..

Reeha: Aap..aap mujhse kabhi bhi kuch bhi nahi share karthi. Hamesha, har ek problem apne sar mein lethi ho aur mujhe aisa feel hothi hai ki mein..mein ek achi behen nahi hun. Aapke problems mera bhi problem hai par aap mujhse share nahi karthi tho mein kaise jaan paoongi ye sab, Di. I was hurt. Isiliye mere muh se wo sab..I'm sorry, Di. Please talk to me. I can't live without you beside me..!!

Nandini sat beside her and held Reeha's chin to face her and then wiped the tears of her little sister's face..

Nandini: Gussa ya dard, aansu copyright hai kya, hamesha sath mein aathe hai..

Reeha smiled a little..

Nandini ( smiled ): Mujhe patha hai you were hurt but then I have promised Papa and Ma when they left us that I will be the reason for your existence. It's my duty to make you feel happy. Tumse ye sab kahun tho tum bhi pareshan hojaoge aur ye mein nahi chahthi. Agar Papa yaha hotha tho wo ye sab nahi kartha and I'm just following his path. Par aage se aisa kuch kaha na, phir poori zindagi mein tumse bath nahi karungi..

Reeha pinched her throat and nodded in No..

Reeha: Nandini promise, nahi karungi aise koi baath..

Nandini ( smiled ): Good girl..!!

Mrunal: Tumse mene kya kaha tha, fluffy..?

Nandini pouted at Mrunal who brought a glass of juice for Nandini and asked her to drink it..

Nandini: I don't like orange juice..

Mrunal ( bored look ): Who's thinking about you, dude. I'm taking care of my little fluffy..!!

Nandini ( shocked ): Haww..khooni, ab tujhe mere koi fikar hi nahi..

Reeha: Ek minute, ye little fluffy kaun hai..?

Nandini bit her lips and looked at Mrunal, who blinked her eyes in assurance. Mrunal walked to the door and closed it and sat beside Nandini..

Mrunal: Ye rahi little fluffy..

She kept her hand on Nandini's belly and they waited for Reeha's reaction..

Reeha ( frowned ): Ye little fluffy kaise. Its a body part..!!

Mrunal gave her a murderous glare while Nandini giggled..

Mrunal: Choti kameeni, I was talking about the baby Nandini who would come out after 9 months..!!

Reeha got confused again but then something hit her. Her jaws dropped down in shock..

Reeha: Please tell me what I'm thinking is right..

Mrunal: How on earth will we know what this stupid brain is thinking..?

Reeha ( pissed ): Di..tell me..

Nandini took Reeha's hand and kept it on hr belly..

Nandini ( softly ): I'm having a little life inside me..!!

Reeha felt her breathe hitching in her throat. She gulped and then looked in Nandini's eyes which blinked making her to squeal in joy..

Reeha: I'm gonna be Maasi...!!

She jumped in joy making Mrunal and Nandini to giggle. She leaned to Nandini's belly and kissed it..

Reeha: Your maasi is waiting for you..Come soon..!!

Reeha got back in her place and held Nandini's hands..

Reeha ( excitedly ): I can't believe it, Di. You're going to be a Mamma. Oh my God. Congrats...!!

She hugged Nandini who hugged her back with the same intensity. Reeha broke the hug with a frown..

Reeha: Di, you said..you're..divorcing jeeju..!!

Nandini's smile disappeared..

Mrunal: Yeah, she has a stupid reason too..

Reeha: What reason..?!

Mrunal ( sighed ): Cad has called up and informed about the thing that you both were searching for..!!

Reeha ( frowned ): What's the connection..!!

Nandini: Because, it's the same that I'm searching for..

Reeha gasped on realizing it..

Reeha: Seriously..?

They nodded at her and she sighed in irritation..

Reeha: They would be taking everything wrong, then..

Nandini: Exactly, I was also saying the same..

Mrunal: Oh come on, you siblings, you just need to speak the truth out..

Nandini: Speaking the truth doesn't wipe the present away. I did what shouldn't have been done..

Nandini walked inside the washroom while Reeha sat lost in thoughts..

Mrunal: You should know why I called you here, by now..

Reeha ( smirked ): Why don't we get to know Lilliput's Grumpy coffee's condition..?

Mrunal smirked back at her..

In Rosewood Restaurant

Mohnish entered inside the restaurant to have a light dinner. He thought of leaving the girls alone as he knew only that would get them together again..

Mohnish: I need a glass of wine too along with my dinner..

He ordered for his dinner and sat on his table lost in thoughts..

Mohnish ( thought ): Nannu seems so sad. How am I going to get her smile back on her lips..?!!

He thought sadly when suddenly, he heard his name being called loudly..

"Mohnish.." he turned to the voice only to gasp in shock..

Mohnish: Raj...!!

It was Raj and his family as they thought of making a plan somewhere out to get Nandini back in his life, so that Manik could get out of his own zone. Of course, Cabir pressurized him to come out with him as Mr. Manik Malhotra was busy in his own plans to get his Lilliput back..

Raj moved forward and hugged Mohnish tightly who, immediately hugged him back with welled up eyes..

Raj: Tu..tu yaha..?

Raj looked at him in amusement yet happily while Mohnish too had the similar expression on his face..

Mohnish: Mathlab, tu yaha tha..? Kaha kaha doonda yar tum logonko..Nyo..

He gave a side hug to Nyonika..

Nyonika: Bhai..kaisa hai aap..

She asked with the same teary eyes and he smiled amidst the tears..

Mohnish: Teek hun behena. Tum log yaha..arey wo chod..beit pehle..

They took seats around a big table and Mohnish's gaze went to the youngsters. On seeing it, Raj introduced the kids to him..

Mohnish ( smiled ): Manik aur Cabir..bohath bade ho chuke hai tum dhono..

They smiled at him warmly..

Mohnish: Mukti..pehli baar mil rahe hai hum..hope you liked me, Miss Malhotra..!!

Mukti, instantly liked him and nodded her head..

Mohnish: Mene kabhi socha nahi ki tu India mein hoga, Raj..

Raj ( sighed ): I thought India will haunt me with my parents memories but then I realized this place would be better off with their memories..

Mohnish ( disbelievingly ): Finally, you realized it. You're always late in realizing, dude..

Raj ( smiled sadly ): Haa..even in realizing importance of friendship..!!

Mohnish looked at him and Raj gave him a sad look..

Raj: Does he still hate me..?

Mohnish couldn't answer back while the rest were clueless except for Nyonika who was also looking at Mohnish curiously..

Raj: I realized everything so late yar. I should have guessed that Chote can never see Nyo in a dirty way. Wo sirf..sirf Raman ka nahi balki hum dhono ka bhi Bhai tha, phir bhi mene uss Khuranna ki bathon mein aake yakeen kiya ki Chote had bad intentions on Nyo..I..I should have listened to Raman par..mene kya kiya..ulta uspe hi chillaya..

Mohnish: Raj..its past..let's leave it..

Raj: Kaise yar..meri zindagi ki sabse badi galathi hi tho wahi thi. I lost my friend on that day, my family..I..I need to meet him..tum milao na mujhe usse..

Mohnish stared at Raj in dilemma. How is he gonna say him that the friend whom he's searching for is no more..?!

Nyonika: Haa Bhai, mujhe bhi milna hai Raman aur Ishu se..I should have stopped Raj on that day, but I couldn't..

Mohnish: Par..mein..Nyo..Raj..

Raj held Mohnish's hand..

Raj: I'll bear his anger but please let us make him, Mohnish. I can..I can at least live peacefully on seeing him again..

Mohnish ( nodded in No ): Samjha kar yar..wo..wo..

Nyonika: Bhai..kehna kya chahthe hai aap..

Raj: Tu bas uske address dhe..I'll contact him. I know, he's not mad at you so you are in contact with him..Tell me, where is he..

Mohnish tried his best to let go off the topic but Raj didn't budge it..

Mohnish: Raman and Ishu are no more, Raj..!! They're no more..!!

And Mohnish stared at a shocked Raj and Nyonika with tears flowing out of their eyes..

To be continued..
