How does it feel to be pampered..?

Well, that's the question which should be asked to every kid or even an elderly person who were pampered by their parents and elder siblings from a very young age.

Some doesn't even care whether their pampering could destroy the character of the little one whom they paper while some cares about everything even though, they pamper their kid by a lot..

It's the same thing happening in MruNi's Apartment, for now..

In MruNi's Apartment

" What the..!! " this was the screech heard from Manik Malhotra, who got pissed when his wife was pulled into the great pampered child's arms, among the Murthys and Kapoors, Mr. Rehan Kapoor..

Rehan (pissed): Aap..aap Mamma banne wali ho..?

Nandini stood in a great dilemma while the rest had different kind of expressions on their faces. Malhotras along with Manik's friends stood confused while Nandini's family were expecting the emotional drama coming up.

Technically, they were enjoying it..

Nandini: Um..nothing like that baby..!!

Manik groaned at Nandini and gave her a very pissed look..

Manik: Mujhe tho kabhi baby nahi bulaya phir isko kyu bula rahe ho. Handsome kaafi nahi the kya..?

Nandini: Shut up, Manik...

She turned to Rehan, who was on the verge of bursting out..

Nandini: Baby..please listen to me..

Rehan (depressed): Are you going to be Mamma or not, Di..?

Nandini gulped and nodded in yes and the next second, she saw Rehan's eyes welling up which pierced her heart. Had it been the previous Nandini, she would have made him understand the situation lovingly but for now, she herself felt weak..

Rehan: Mathlab, sach mein..aap Mamma hi banne wali ho..

Manik (annoyed): Problem kya hai, Mr. Kapoor..?!

Rehan gave Manik a pissed look..

Rehan: Ye sab aapke wajah se hai. Meri Di ko pregnant kiya hai aapne. Apne galath kiya hai yaha..

Manik stood there shocked..

Manik: Apni beewi ko pregnant karana galathi kabse hone lagi..?

Nandini felt like banging her head somewhere..

Nandini: Grumpy coffee, will you be quiet for a moment. Warna, sach mein main tumhare saath nahi aaungi..

Manik (irritated): What the he..!!!

And he gulped the next word down his throat while Nandini concentrated again in Rehan..

Nandini: Rehan..samjha kar na..aapki Di Mamma banne wali ho..you're gonna become a Maamu..kithne achi bath hai na..

Rehan (annoyed): Mujhe koi Mamu nahi banna..

Reeha stepped ahead with a very annoyed look on her face..

Reeha: Oye chipku handsome chota bhai, tumhara dimaag ka screw kisne nikaal diya. You're going to be an uncle in such a young age, dude. Think about it, when you get married, you're gonna have a matured nephew instead of any toddler. Its going to be for your own benefit, koi tumhe tang karne nahi aaega na apni first night pe..

Rehan (pissed): Didi, I'm serious..

Reeha: Haa tho, even I'm serious. Mathlab, you should be happy instead of being insecure. You're going to be Di's brother forever, no matter whoever comes in her life..

Rehan glared at Reeha who glared at him back. They were known as fighters instead of siblings..!!

While for Malhotras, the picture was clear now..

Rehan: Mujhe kuch bhi nahi sunna. I won't share my Di, with anyone, not even her new baby..

Manik sighed hard when he heard someone sniffing. He pulled Nandini to his chest who immediately wrapped her tiny arms around his torso and started to sob while seeing the scene for the first time in his life, Rehan stood with his jaws dropped down in shock..

Manik: Lilliput..don't cry, you shouldn't be this emotional. Dekho, ye acha nahi hai tumhare liye.

He wiped her tears which came out like it has no end. Sighing in defeat, he looked up at Rehan trying hard not to burst his anger out while noting in his mind that, the little boy is insecure of sharing the love that he gets from his Di with their unborn baby..

Manik: Rehan..

Rehan got out of his trance and looked at Manik blankly who looked calm to him..

Manik: I know, you love your Di a lot so its your duty to understand that love happens only when you trust each other. You should trust your Di's love for you. She can never give more of importance to someone and ignore you. Haa, she's becoming a Mamma and she will give her time for our baby, but that doesn't mean she's gonna abandon you. Come on, she's been living with you since ages. You should know her better than me. Don't you..?

Rehan nodded at Manik in guilt after seeing his sister crying. He moved forward to Nandini and held her little finger making her to look at him who looked down and mumbled a 'sorry' in his low voice..

Nandini: I know my Handsome well. So, don't be sorry..

Rehan looked in her eyes and held his ears..

Rehan: Aap mere wajah se ro rahi ho na, sorry..

Nandini: Mein nahi..

" Wo nahi royi.." the rest echoed immediately making Rehan to jump in shock and Nandini to glare at them..

Nandini: Mujhe Hindi aathi hai..

Manik: Aur hame bhi aathi hai, isliye hume phirse nahi sunna..

Nandini (pouted): Mathlab, you don't want me to speak.

Sensing, she was about to cry again, Manik hugged her tightly and hit his own head..

Manik: Arey mein mazak kar raha tha, Lilliput. Tum bhi na..chalo, don't cry haan. Grumpy coffee is sorry..!!

Finding everything as PDA, Rehan looked at Reeha and Mrunal who sighed at him..

Rehan/Mrunal: You need to get used to it. Love birds, you know..

Rehan nodded in understanding, thanks to God, he's grown up in Canada to understand affection and meaning of love..

Nyonika: Waise, sabse milna hai tumko..

Nyonika spoke while eyeing Rehan, who stood confused. Mohnish walked towards Rehan and smacked his head first..

Mohnish: Pehle batha nahi saktha ki tum wapas aa rahe ho. Aur wo stupid Cadbury kaha hai. I told him to let me know everything regarding my kids which he didn't for now..

" At your service, Mr. Kapoor.." someone said from behind and Nandini, immediately parted from Manik and jumped in the person's arms which made Manik to sulk..

Manik: Sabko hug karna hai kya iss ladki ko..?!!

Nandini: Cad...I missed you...!!!

She broke the hug and Cad smiled at her warmly..

Cad: I missed you too, Nan..Hope, you're doing well..

Mohnish: Yup, Mam just turned pregnant..

Cad (stunned): What...?!!

Manik pulled Nandini to himself and spoke in a stern tone..

Manik: She shouldn't hear such high pitch tone, Mr. Cad..

Cadbury looked at Manik and studied him from head to toe making Manik to look at him weirdly..

Manik: I hope you're not into the other group..

Cad: Excuse me..? What does it mean..?

Manik (sarcastically): The way you just checked me out was really creepy, not my mistake..

Cad (freaked out): What the f***..!!!

Mohnish (glared): Language..!!

Cadbury bit his tongue on realizing it and made an apologetic face and then turned to Nandini and took her in a side hug..

Cadbury: Congrats Nan..!! Raman is really happy and I know that..!!

Nandini smiled at him in content. Cadbury was always her support after her family. She always gave him the tag of being family and he was more than ready to be her protector..

Cadbury turned to a pissed Manik and crooked his eyebrows at him..

Cadbury: Since, Nan is pregnant, I suppose you guys are serious about your relationship, not some petty contract based relation. So..I'm warning you, you hurt her, I'll break your bones.

Manik gave him a very hard expression and pulled Nandini to his side, who was about to defend her husband..

Manik: She's my wife, Mr. Cadbury and I don't need anyone to ask me to protect her. I know how to take care of my love..

Nandini sighed while Cadbury was impressed..

Nandini: Grumpy coffee, he's family so he was just worried for me. And, Cad, he's a nice guy, don't look at him like how you glare at boyfriend machine..

Cadbury: Nan...!! Fine, I was just concerned, okay..

Nandini: I know that..

She turned to Manik, who still had that hard look for Cadbury..

Nandini: Grumpy coffee..

Manik turned to her who was glaring at him..

Manik: Now what..?!!

Nandini: Why are you glaring at Cad..?

Manik (pissed): I was glaring at him not you, I don't think its a problem..

Nandini: It is. I told you, he's family..

Manik (pissed): Lilliput..

Nandini (pouted): He's Papa's friend, Grumpy coffee..

Manik sighed and then gave a calm look to Cadbury..

Manik: Alright, I'm not gonna fight anymore then..Happy..?

He asked Nandini while turning to her who immediately grinned widely and kissed his cheeks as a gift which earned them a lot of fake coughs while Manik's cheeks turned pink for getting kissed by his Lilliput in public..

Rehan: Di..I wanna meet Chachu..

Nandini: Arey wo andhar hai..

Cadbury: Even, I wanna meet him..Let's..

Before he could continued, his gaze fell on Raj who was smiling at him warmly..

Cadbury: Mr. Malhotra..? You..? How..?

Raj: Hey Wilberg, its been a long..

Cadbury turned his attention to Nandini for an explanation..

Nandini: I met him through my husband. You know, my husband is his son..

She shrugged her shoulders casually while Cadbury got a mini heart attack..

Cadbury: What..?!! You married Mr. Malhotra's son..? Isn't Vivek inside or did he become blind..?

Nandini/Reeha/Rehan: Shut up, Cad..!!

Cadbury: Come on, I'm gonna go crazy..

Mohnish: Well, you'r already crazy, so let me make it clear to you, then..Come inside..

And, everyone got inside the apartment and got settled in the living room while Mohnish took the lead to narrate everything happened in India from Nandini getting to know about Raj's real identity to Vivek's outburst..

Cadbury (sighed): He's angry. It isn't a good sign..

Nandini: He has approved for our relationship, baaki ka mujhpe chodo..

Cadbury: Um..baaki what..? I don't understand your language and you very well know that..

Reeha: Yar..Cad, she meant, you just need not to worry, she'll get everything sorted..

Cadbury: Yeah..taming Vivek Murthy is really an easy job right..

Vivek: Is it so, Mr. Wilberg..?

Cadbury stood up and moved towards Vivek who hugged him and then raised his eyebrows at Cad..

Vivek: Why was that sudden question and who was it for..?

Cadbury: I just got to know whatever happened..you know..like everything..

Vivek just nodded and turned to Nandini who was looking at him curiously. He smiled at her..

Vivek: I'm going to drop my daughter back her home..

Nandini smiled widely and crashed in Vivek's arms..

Nandini: Love you, Chachu..

Vivek: Love you, too..

He turned to Manik..

Vivek: Chalein..?

Manik nodded immediately with a grin and turned to his parents who blinked their eyes in assurance and soon, the entire family left to Malhotra Mansion..

In Malhotra Mansion

Raj lead the entrance towards the living room while the rest followed him with the Murthys and Kapoors admiring the Mansion, of course Vivek is an exception in it..

Vivek: Nannu..we're leaving. You should..

Nandini (interrupted): Ithni jaldhi..? Par kyu, Chachu..? Thodi der..

Vivek (calmly): Nannu, mein yaha sirf tumhe chodne keliye aaya hun. Kisike bhi saath waqt bithane keliye nahi..

He spoke while glancing at Raj, who looked down in guilt, yet again..

Nandini (sighed): Chachu..

She sighed helplessly on seeing the cold war between Vivek and Raj, though its only one-sided..

Vivek: Haa tho, mein keh raha tha. We're leaving. Don't worry. We still will be in India until I feel you're loved by this new family of yours...Mihika..

He turned to his wife who too sighed in defeat and moved towards Nandini..

Mihika (whispered): Everything will be fine..

She spoke while hugging Nandini, who smiled mischievously..

Nandini: Of course, Mihi Ma. Mein hun kaam ke type..

Mihika broke the hug and slapped Nandini's cheeks lightly and the duo giggled. She kissed her forehead..

Mihika: Khayal rakhna Nannu. Ab tum akeli nahi ho, yaha waha bunnies ke tarah jump nahi karna chahiye. Khana sahi waqt pe khaana hai aur phir..

Nandini: Mihi Maaaa...mein jung pe nahi jaa rahi hun. Bas pregnant hun..

Mihika huffed at her..

Manik (smiled): You don't need to get tensed, Mrs. Murthy. I'll take care of her..

Mihika smiled warmly at him and moved towards Manik and spoke while cupping his cheeks..

Mihika: Nannu mujhe Mihi Ma bulathi hai and so you hold the right to address me like how she does..

Manik smiled at her while the rest got relieved thinking Mihika isn't mad at them..

Manik: Ji..Mihi Ma..

Mihika: Ye hui na baath..

Vivek (rolled his eyes): Mihika..if you're done with your sweet little talks, can we move out..?

Mihika glared at him which made him to groan in annoyance..

Nandini: Tch..try bhi kyu kar rahe ho aap..Poori zindagi aapko beewi se darke hi jeena padega..

Vivek glared at her..

Cabir (whispered to Shravan): Bhai tho bilkul ye Hitler uncle jaise hai..!!

Shravan made a pity look on his face and nodded at Cabir while agreeing to it..

Vivek: Mohnish Bhai, we're leaving..Aapko aana hai tho aaja, warna math aao..Rehan aur Ree, tum bhi aa rahe ho ya yahi pe rehna hai..?

Rehan and Reeha looked at Nandini and pouted at her while hugging her tightly..

Rehan: Beautiful, we're leaving..Aap mujhse phone pe bath karoge na, I'll give you a call once I reach home..

Nandini: Mujhe nahi lagtha ki mujhe koi kaam hai jo tumhara call nahi utt paoongi, insecure handsome..

She smacked his head who pouted at him. She kissed his cheeks making him to smile and then turned to Reeha..

Nandini: Tum kaha rehne wale ho..? Waise, Pops, Chachu, aap log bhi k..

Vivek: Tum uske fikar math karo, Nannu. Ab keliye tho Avinash Bhai ke waha rahenge. And then, we'll buy some Mansion in India for time being..

Nandini nodded in understanding and turned to Reeha again..

Reeha: Mein tho..

She turned to Mrunal who raised her hands in the air..

Mrunal: I'm sorry Miss Murthy, fluffy ke bina wo apartment mein main nahi rehthi..

Reeha pouted at her..

Reeha: Aap tho sirf Di se pyar karthi hai..

Nandini: Unfortunately, we're way too possessive for our apartment and we don't let anyone to stay there if either of us don't stay there. Tho aap kripya apna drama bandh keejiye Miss Murthy..

Reeha (huffed): Fine, best friends, I'm not snatching your rights over each other, now..

MruNi: Who's gonna let you to snatch, anyhow..

And, MruNi grinned at each other making others to sigh in disbelief..

Vivek: Chalo, nikalthe hain..

Vivek bade bye to Nandini while kissing her forehead and the rest hugged her with the siblings clinging to her after every 1-second hugs..

Manik: Lo, ye hai yaha ke landline number. Whenever your Di is in a 24-hrs contract, you can call her up in this number to know about her..

Manik handed over the landline number to Reeha who smiled back at hi lovingly..

Reeha: Can I call you Bhai..?

Manik looked surprised for a moment but before he could reply..

Reeha: I know, I can, after all, I'm the cutest..hai na Di..

Manik chuckled while Nandini and Mrunal gave her a bored look..

Manik: You seriously are Lilliput's sister..

Reeha smiled back at him and like finally, Murthys and Kapoors along with Mrunal bade by to Nandini who was smiling in content..

Nandini: You know, its actually triggering me..

She spoke to Manik, who side hugged her..

Manik (frowned): What's triggering you..?

Nandini: Arey this feeling. I mean, these pregnancy hormones are really triggering me to feel a lot of emotions when I always had control over it. I feel like crying now..

Manik (smiled): Its okay to cry..especially in front of me..

She smiled at him, who kissed her forehead..

Nyonika: Nandu..Manik..andhar aaja..

Nyonika stood at the entrance with the Arti taal in her hand and Manik and Nandini tood in front of her with confused faces..

Nyonika (smiled): Ye ek nayi shruwat hai. Isliye, bhagwan se aashurwad lena hai tum dhono ko, jaise tum pehli baar iss ghar mein aayi, waise hi abhi bhi aana hai..

Nandini smiled warmly at Nyonika while Manik fell in love with his Mom, once more. She tops in every list, after all mothers..

But, this time, Manik picked Nandini in his arms taking everyone in surprise..

Manik: Ma, iss bhaar humara shuruwath Manik Malhotra ki style mein hona chahiye..

Cabir (smirked): Bilkul romeo style..hai na..?

Manik (smirked): Koi shak Malhotra..?

Cabir's jaws dropped down in shock, along with the rest on seeing Manik accepting himself to be Romeo..

Nyonika giggled and did their Arti while Manik entered inside and moved towards staircase without giving a damn to anyone..

Shravan: Bhai..bhabi pregnant hai..

Manik turned towards him..

Manik (frowned): Ye sabse pehle tumhari Bhabi mujhe bathaya, apart from her sister and soul sister..Phir tum kyu batha rahe ho mujhe..

Shravan (smirked): Jaise aap unhe oopar kamre thak le jaa rahe hai, first nahi jaise lag rahe hai the..so just an advice..

Manik (gritted his teeth): Shravannnn...

Arijit (pissed): What the hell, Shravan..?!! Kaha se seekha tumne ye sab..?

Shravan: FYI, I'm a medical student..Aapki behen ko bhi ye sab aathi hai..

And mukti hid behind Cabir, who made a poker face at both Arijit and Manik, who were huffing..

Nandini: Oh hello, stop being stupids, at least, don't show your stupidity out to everyone. Choti is a medical student, if she doesn't know all these stuffs, then she has to be a business student where you don't need to study all these stuffs..

Manik: I should have thought about it before letting her to study MBBS..Muku, tum na..

Mukti stared at Nandini with puppy eyes, who winked at her..

Nandini: If you don't wanna get kicked out of our bedroom, choti will continue her studies in MBBS field..

Manik (huffed): Fine..you both win..

He spoke to Mukti and Nandini who grinned at him and soon, he climbed the stairs towards upstairs..

Abhimanyu (smiled): Manik looks so happy..

Arijit (smiled): I'm thankful to Nandini, for that..

The rest could only agree to them..

In MaNan's bedroom

Manik entered inside their bedroom and kept her on the ground..

Nandini (dramatically): Mujhe tho laga tha tum mujhe bed pe rakhoge..tch..so unromantic of you, hubby darling..

Manik smiled instead of smirking..

Manik: Its because, I want you to walk around this bedroom so that it could get your scent back which was missing since the past 2 weeks..

Nandini snapped her head at him, who had a painful expression on his face. She moved towards him and cupped his face..

Nandini: You were hurt..? This deeply..?

Manik sighed and joined their foreheads..

Manik: Didn't you read my eyes. I thought, you could read them..

Nandini (sighed): I didn't want to read them, this time. I was the reason for the change in them, which always used to shine..

He opened his eyes and caressed her cheeks..

Manik: I missed you..

Instead of words as a reply, she stepped on his foot and placed her lips on his making him to sigh in relief. In content, to have her back in his arms, in his room, where they created their memories of togetherness. He kissed her back sky as if to make him believe that she's not gonna leave him again..

They broke the kiss to catch breathe before he took her lips in his for another kiss which turned wild and demanding, this time. He expressed through that one simple kiss about his feelings. The longing that he had for her when she wasn't around him..

He broke the kiss and made her walk till they reach the bed and made her lie on the bed and hovered above her keeping in mind, not to hurt her or their baby..

Manik: I love you, Mrs. Malhotra..

Nandini (smiled): I know that. And I love you too, not Mr. Malhotra..but my Grumpy coffee..!!

He smiled at her and laid on the bed with her above him..

Manik: You know, there's a saying. Never give up for you may not know when can destiny get back to its rightful place and see, I got you back because, this time, I followed my heart not my stupid mind..

Nandini (giggled): So, you didn't ignore your family unlike what you did previously..

Manik (sighed): I was so stupid to do it. Mathlab, I took an infatuation to love and then ignore my precious possession, my family just because a mere girl ditched me..I was really an idiot, right..

He looked at her to see her with raised eyebrows..

Nandini: Tumhara dimaag kab wapas aaya..?

Manik (chuckled): Jab tum mujhe chodke gayi..shayad, wapas chala jayega, you know, you're here now..

She slapped his chest..

Nandini: You mean to say, I'm the distraction to intelligence. Don't talk to me, then..

She was about to get up but he didn't let her..

Manik: Come on, you know, I was joking..

She puffed her cheeks and he couldn't help but to squeeze her cheeks with his lips..

Manik: You better stop it before I lose it. I don't wanna harm you..

Nandini (blushed): You know, you'll never harm me..

Manik (sighed): But, this can harm you. You know, what I meant, right..

She made a sad face and then moved closer to his lips which distracted him..

Manik (breathing heavily): Lilliput..please don't..

Nandini (huskily): What if I say, its not a problem..

He snapped his head at her in surprise..

Manik: Mathlab..?

Nandini (giggled): Mathlab, budhu..its not forbidden to be intimate when a woman is pregnant. And so, we can, you just shouldn't apply much pressure on my abdomen..

Manik grinned like a teenage fool in excitement..

Manik: Really..?

Nandini (giggled): Yup..Mr. Budhu coffee..!!

He kissed her cheeks in happiness and bent to her belly and raised her top upwards while kissing it..

Manik: Baby, you just need to sleep for now. Papa and Mamma will really be busy for sometime. Trust me, we won't disturb you. Have a tight sleep..

She blushed as well as admired her child-like man, who immediately captured her lips after having his little conversation with their baby..

Manik: I love you..!!

He muttered in between their kisses..

Nandini: I love you..!!

She replied when he was busy in showering her with his sweet kisses and once again, they celebrated their love but this time, they had their little one, in her, who was busy in sleeping just like how her/his father asked him/her to..

To be continued..
