Manik isn't it too early to walk nandini said as she walked sleepily while manik smiled as he held her hand walking along

Babe that's why it is called morning walk manik said with lip pressed smile and nandini glared at him making him smile more

U and ur dad jokes she mumbled and manik just raised his eyebrow atleast it makes u smile he flaunted

I slept with great difficulty....my back was hurting and u woke me up she cribbed and manik just took her in his arms in comforting way

Thnku for bearing my babies and going thru all this manik thanked her instead of replying to her nagging and it immediately felt like removing all frustration.....she turned her head to look at him and gave him a big smile

I will order pregnancy pillow for u....it will help u in sleeping he said and nandini smiled

Now can we do for what we came here he asked and nandini entwined their hands as she took a step forward

I like it she said after sometime and manik smiled knowing it would definitely have a positive effect on her mood yes their is sth different about morning walks he agreed and nandini then went to sit on lawn chair and manik also followed behind as their juices were already waiting for them

Thnku for making me come here she sipped juice and looked at him with a grateful smile and manik just offered her a plate of fruits

The least I can do he said as he gave her a flying kiss and her face glowed in a different shade

U must be tired hearing it again and again but I believe mere muhabbat ne tmhe aur khoobsurat bna dia hai he mumbled and nandini blushed more but they couldn't get to enjoy their moment as they saw nyonika coming towards them

Good morning......u guys r up early she said wondering at their unexpected presence in garden

Morning maa manik got up and hugged her as he gave her his place to sit while nandini also greeted her.....both the ladies started conversing while manik poured juice for mother too

Here u go he said and nyonika took it smiling at him but frowned a little as she saw nandini putting the plate back on table......for manik it was enough that she have had some fruit

M going to go change manik announced getting up while nandini just sank in her seat sipping juice as she chatted with nyonika about random stuff about how nice the weather was and what nandini wanted to have in lunch and dinner......as things got back to normal nyonika was making sure to prepare nandini's favourite meals so she eat to the fullest....after sometime nandini also went back to room to change while nyonika sat there a little more enjoying the morning breeze

***************

Standing infront of mirror nandini was gazing at her image as she pinched the fat of her cheeks and arms........she had always been very petite and all that chubbiness and people remarks were making her very conscious about her appearance......yesterday also as she was passing by she heard a lady taking to other colleague about how lucky was she to have husband like manik who cared so much for her....why I don't deserve this nandini thought he was her husband after all.....just bcz they didn't get much love from their husbands during their pregnancies didn't mean she should be treated same......nandini sighed as she made a note to herself affirming herself that she was worth his every action of love and care as she was the one with him taking care of him when he needed the most and now it was her turn to be loved........lost in her thoughts she didn't see manik coming out of dressing area after hairstyling his hair........seeing nandini standing still infront of mirror he went to stand behind her and looked at her dressed in women's suit

Looking good manik complimented kissing her cheek and it immediately lifted nandini's mood

Really she asked still unsure of her appearance

Yeah are u doubting my wife's looks he teased and nandini smiled as she looked at the image of them in mirror

Morning babies manik said as he knocked his knuckles on her tummy and nandini exclaimed as she placed a hand over her tummy they moved nandini chirped and manik was quick enough to place hand above hers it reacted to ur knocking nandini exclaimed and manik striked his finger again impatiently waiting for them to show movement and it happened.... he felt fetus kicking the same area manik striked

Omg they r amazing manik's shocked voice appeared and nandini laughed at his expressions this is the best start of my morning he mumbled as he held her chin and breathed closer to her lips........their senses heightened and hormones raging they both pushed themselves closer till their lips met......manik's hand moved to her back pulling her more closer while nandini held his shoulders for support

I love u so much he smooched her lips for giving me the family he smooched again making her melt in his hands......her heart went at peace hearing his praises......patting her back lovingly manik parted while nandini turned around again and then started trying various hairstyles

Is this looking good on me manik she asked tying hairbun and manik just made 👌superb sign making nandini fix them with Bob pins and she hurriedly made her way downstairs cuz she knew if he would be at dining hall b4 her and not find his breakfast he would just tantrums.....the only thing she never wanted to happen right in the morning.......

Hey maa she announced as she entered dining hall to see nyonika arranging stuff

Hey she smiled as she sat on a chair beside nandini's and pulled the fruit bowl close to nandini its for u....u didn't eat fruit so I thought to make salad nyonika said and nandini's heart swelled with happiness......she threw her a big smile as she picked up the fork and took a big bite of delicious salad......she surely loved fruit salads more its so good maa she licked leftover cream from the fork and then got up hearing manik's footsteps

Ohhhh I forgot.....lemme get manik's oatmeal and coffee nandini hurried to get up but nyonika stopped its okay.......I have it covered she mumbled in sweet tone

Pampering ur dil manik said as he approached them from behind and nyonika turned around in her chair and raised her eyebrow any problem with that she enquired and manik chuckled shaking his head

Not at all he said as he towered above nandini to see what she was eating and found her feasting on the very tempting fruit salad.....holding nandini's wrist he took it near his mouth to take a huge bite

Amma it's yummy manik dramatically kissed her mother's hand making her chuckle

Thnku so much maa nandini also said holding her hand and she looked at her with red face full of emotions

Ab rona mat manik taunted knowing how emotional she was and as soon as he said tears started rolling down her face ohhh here we go manik commented taking one more spoonful of her salad

I never knew what a mother's love would be....I never thought I would get one someday more tears rolled down her face and nyonika hugged her and rubbed her while glaring at manik who had just stopped chewing hearing nandini's small talk

Now u have me nyonika whispered making nandini wipe her tears

Ur makeup is ruined nandini manik pointed out in a very serious tone and nyonika let out a frustated sigh hearing him manikkkk r u being serious manik just shrugged I was just pointing out

************

We liked the presentation manik spoke as they all were sitting in conference room and a foreign delegate was there to give presentation about their work

Manik started discussing more details and the company offered a visit to there factory to check how they work......since it was a very big order manik decided that he would be going himself instead of leaving it on his employes.......shaking hands manik mentioned that he would soon tell them about when he would be visiting them as he got other commitments too

Going out he straight went to his office and sat on his chair relaxing as he rubbed his eyes like rubbing off the tiredness too.....meanwhile his phone buzzed and it was nandini's

Yes Queen of my heart he said as soon as he attended the call and he knew it was so Cheesy but he just wanted to spread a smile on her face

King plzzz come help ur queen out of hospital she replied laughing and manik chuckled at her response

U r learning he replied

Haan to...m intelligent enough she bragged and manik sat straight as he started playing with his watch

Okay where's driver he asked referring to why nandini wanted him to pick her up

He had some family commitment so I gave him a leave she said and manik sighed *his wife and her soft nature*

Yeah right manik rolled his eyes as he knew driver had to go for a friend's birthday dinner where he could have easily gone after dropping nandini

Aap ka personal driver jo hai....baaqio ko thori aap disturb kare ge manik mouthed grabbing car keys as he stood up and heard nandini's giggle in reply making him smile

If u r busy I can take an uber she suggested fully understanding how tough his work was

No m coming....ab kahan uber ka wait karo ge he said and she happily ended the call making a mental note to definitely thank him may be cook his favourite food

Ufff this hospital and signal issues he murmured distastefully as he pulled out car keys and decided to get her from inside hospital

Hey u r manik right walking thru the hospital corridor manik heard a female voice......stopping he turned to see a lady standing there with a beautiful smile.......her face was familiar......ohhh wait she was her school mate

Seems like u couldn't recognise me she said and manik shook his head

No I remember u r avni manik said and she fisted his shoulder

Waise u r the same...blke ur maturity has made u more attractive she spoke frankly and manik just chuckled

Why r u here he asked and she told him about her mother illness while manik talked about nandini who was a doctor there.......they were talking when nandini had arrived a long ago and saw them talking frankly.......she stood there at a little distance not knowing whether to stand there or move closer to them....but inside she was fuming also as the lady was clearly flirting but there her husband was being over sweet to unknown lady adding much to her frustration

Ohhhh nandini is here manik upon seeing her said introducing her to unknown lady who gave her a smile but even it seemed fake to nandini

U settled finally avni said and manik laughed side hugging nandini

I must say ur husband was crush of many girls in school including me avni said to nandini who just smiled awkwardly as she didn't like how she mentioned about her likings but on the other hand she could see manik enjoying it fully

Nandini manik pe nazar rkhna....bht short attention span hai iska larkion ke mamle mein avni commented laughing and nandini didnt say anything just stared at her who was stealing glancing at manik......she didn't know why manik wasn't seeing what she was seeing

Stop polluting my wife's brain he said and nandini looked at manik manik I've some work with a colleague.....I will just go check on her she mumbled and manik nodded

Yeah m coming after paying a visit to avni's mother he mumbled removing his hand from her and nandini who thought manik would feel her uneasiness just disappointed her and nandini took angry steps away from them inside gastroenterology department where her friend deepika was working

Seeing nandini distressed deepika asked her what happened and nandini told her the whole incident

She was shamelessly flirting with him nandini said in displeased tone

Manik said nothing....he was just smiling nandini cried and deepika laughed at her friend who was getting over emotional bcz of pregnancy

It's okay.....he did right by not reacting to it instead taking it casually deepika palmed nandini's hand

I didnt like it at all nandini said and deepika laughed about that u can fight later

Soon manik came to pick nandini and as manik sat in car nandini turned herself completely to him and said frowning

Dil to nhi kar rha hoga ane ka......thora aur time lga lete nandini said in burnt tone making manik smile as he shook his head while securing seat belt

Haan ab mat bolo.....usse baat karte hue to saans lene ke liye bhi mushkil se ruk rhe the nandini taunted making him chuckle

Tm phle hi bol nhi rhi thi mein bhi na bolta rude lgta manik said in plain tone making her scoff

Whatever

Maa ke checkup ke liye aye thi ya mere shohar ko checkout karne nandini was still angry......avni definitely made herself to nandini's list of bad people

We were classmates manik answered

More like crushes she retorted

Ohhh God.....stop putting blame on ur husband....she was just my classmate manik said trying to ease her down and I didnt come leaving all my work for u to fight he said making nandini look at him....dropping her grumpy attitude she mumbled

I didnt like her way

Me neither but I didnt want to make it a big deal he answered and she got some peace At his answer

BTW nandini today I saw that aggression....u literally wanted to throw her away manik laughed and nandini just smiled

I don't like someone getting close to u... she admitted innocently

Ohhhh possessive much he hooted and then turned his head to look at her I liked it he twisted her nose

BTW I think we'll be going on a trip b4 delivery manik announced as he planned to take nandini with him also to his business meeting and then they could enjoy afterwards

Wow a honeymoon b4 babies.....its going to be awesome she said getting excited and manik looked at her with a new energy......he smiled at her face beaming with happiness our first foreign trip together she mumbled excitedly and then leaned to kiss on his cheeks I love u for planning this for us

How many days she asked forgetting avni and her anger

About 2 weeks.... I have to visit a factory in America and after that we can just roam around manik informed and nandini scrunched her nose

Can't we go somewhere from America.....like Turkey , Maldives she suggested

Ummm m not sure now, but we can definitely try he said litting up her mood once again

M so excited manik she hooted and manik just smiled

Achaw manik I was thinking to visit dad....m missing him she mumbled and manik nodded no problem I will drop u there

I was thinking to stay there for 2 to 3 days she spoke hesitantly as manik never agreed for night stays........he wanted her home no matter how late at night it would be

Nandiniii he said helplessly as he also didnt want to restrict her and spoil her mood but also he never stayed without her

Ab to maa bhi agye.....u won't be alone at home nandini reasoned and manik just nodded his head knowing it wasnt right on his part to stop her from staying at her father's place

I don't want to restrict u.....its just m not used to staying away from u he admitted honestly and nandini just melted at his words

I really liked this confession she mumbled with a blush on her face as she stared intently at his handsome face making him smile too

*********

Hello maa manik said loudly as he saw nyonika sitting in lounge reading newspaper......hanging keys on keyholder he went towards her hugging her from back and kissed her cheek

U r home she smiled caressing his cheek yes had to drop nandini at her dad's place so manik answered and nyonika folded newspaper placing it on side

Achaw hai wo bhi bhai sahab se mil le.....kaafi time hogya tha nyonika said and manik made a face

Kahan achaw manik sighed

Achaw majnu.....freshenup hoke ao khana lgati hn nyonika said but manik put pressure on her shoulder asking her to be seated I had a lunch date manik flaunted and nyonika laughed

Mere bahu.... nyonika started but manik cut her off g tension na le aapki bahu kisi ke sath chance nhi bnne dete.....usi ke sath tha manik rolled his eyes making her chuckle

Okay maa going to sleep he said walking towards stairs......entering into room he tossed his mobile on bed and at that very time his phone ringed

Yes, missing me already manik asked as soon as he took the call making her smile on other side of phone

No silly, why didn't u text me that u reached home she asked and manik shrugged

Reached 5 minute back he replied and she pouted

I get worried......text kar dia karo na she said innocently

To ghar ajao na he said and nandini chuckled from other side of phone

Bs karo dramaybaz she said laughing achaw maa ko bta dia she asked as she couldn't tell maa earlier

Haan bta to dia tha he said in a tone that made nandini a little concerned

Did she say sth she asked in concerned tone and manik bit his lip haan bs she doesn't like roaming around too much he lied and manik knew nyonika would probably get so angry at him if she got to know about his lie lekin it's okay tm enjoy karo...I will handle everything

Cutting the call manik threw it on bed and went to change planning to get some sleep

************

Ohhhhhh look who is here yash said happily as he saw nandini sitting on lounge with a jar of biscuit in her hand as she was busy watching a Netflix show

My beautiful daughter......mera bacha aya hai he was very happy seeing her there as he was missing her already.....opening his arms he waited for her to settle in his arms and showered her with kisses

Tm theek ho he asked connecting her to himself and she nodded happily mera bacha healthy khaya karo he reminded her gently that she should be eating healthy in that condition

Dad manik doesn't let me violate my diet plan she pouted making him chuckle wese bhi I will eat a small portion she convinced him and they walked to sofa all the while yash keeping his protective grip on her shoulder

Manik kesa hai aur bhabhi he asked and nandini nodded they r fine

Leave everything tell me how r u....How's ur health

R u taking meds properly she asked a series of questions making him smile widely

Aise hi to nhi khte na betiyan betiyan hoti hain......jahan bhi hn maa baap ki tension rhte unhe he said kissing her headtop and she smiled but quickly came back to topic okay tell me now she asked and he just laughed

Dad aap apna khayal rkhte haina she asked and he just nodded subha walk karne hai 20 mins, tea with no sugar, breakfast proper karna hai, glucometer se glucose monitor karte rhna and yes insulin lene hai , fatty food aur bakery products zayda nhi lene

Sb yaad hai mjhe.....ya kuch reh gya yash repeated all her instructions making her hug him

Okay aap change kare mein table set karte hn she said getting up and then went to set table for him.....then she talked and talked and talked about every little thing which happened in her life , which she didn't tell yash and he with a smile listened to her like he used to when she was a little baby girl

************

Manik went downstairs after getting ready as both mother son was going to watch movie.......she was inside her room when her mobile ringed......manik picked up the phone and attended the call as it was nandini's

Hello maa nandini said and manik replied its me he said and nandini frowned

Why did u pick the call....r u gonna do this the whole time M staying at dad's she said and manik rolled his eyes

No its cuz she's a bit busy, she is going to watch maverick with her son manik informed her and nandini's mouth opened wide as she said sadly couldn't u take me also....kitne bure ho tm manik she complained and manik looked up to see nyonika coming out of her room

Kiski call hai manik she asked wearing a gold pendant that raj gifted

Haan bs amma wanted US to go together aur waise bhi tmne unhe btaya nhi to she doesn't seem happy he lied teasing her knowing nandini was a bit sensitive to not displease her MIL and nyonika heard him and that smile on his face told her the whole story......she grabbed phone from his hand and heard nandini's tensed voice

Ohhhh it's my fault....I should have told her before,abhi bhi I just called to tell her she reasoned and nyonika glared at her son who was chuckling enjoying her state

Nandini it's nothing like that......its ur father's place, u can go and stay whenever u want nyonika said in gentle tone but she wasn't so gentle twisting manik's ear he was just teasing u.....don't bother nyonika said to nandini who happily ended the call and she turned to manik who was mewling amma yaar mein chota bacha hn jo aap is trah kar rhi

Bechari 2 din rehne gye hai sukoon lene do use nyonika advocated nandini making manik scoff

1 to aap dono ke pyaar mein pistaa(grind) mein hota hn......itni bhi understanding nhi honi chaiye Saas bahu mein manik rubbed his sore ear complaining and nyonika chuckled as she shaked her head

Lets go otherwise we'll be late she announced taking her bag and walking towards the entrance door with manik following her hastily as they were late

OK amma r u excited he asked fastening the seat belt and a beautiful smile appeared on her face as she touched her bangles by her index finger....manik's eyes travelled there and he smiled knowing her mother must be busy remembering the old gold memory with his father as the bangles were also a gift by him

It feels like reliving those moments when I was with ur dad......we were so excited as it was first time only the 2 of us were going somewhere she mumbled and manik hooted

Wah bhai he said and nyonika looked at him with a smile.....at that very moment manik too looked at her to find her blushing reminiscing old moments amma look at u he teased her making her laugh embarrassingly

Top gun 1 shohar ke sath dekhe thi part 2 betay ke sath dekh le he said to which she tched

No one can take raj's place she mumbled and manik was just smiling speechless of what to say.......he was amazed to see that her love for him was same after all these years

Common maa he teased more and she fake glared at him stop competing with my husband.....u just can't reach his level she said and manik laughed looking at her getting all emotional defending her husband's position.....parking the car manik unbuckled his seat belt and said turning towards her

Mjhe to lga tha we will spend some good mother son time but I think all u gonna do is relive the old moments he pinched her cheeks finding it so cute

U know what I wanna hear more about ur love story but let's keep it for some other time he said and then got off the car quickly going to opposite side to open nyonika's door

Please he said spreading his hand infront of her to hold and she glowed like a freshly blossomed flower......holding his hand tightly she felt his warmth again getting emotional while manik spread his arm around her shoulders and the people around adored the mother son duo

Okay let's take a selfie manik said as they both sat in their respective seats inside cinema hall and manik leaned closer to her.....clicking cute pictures he immediately sent to nandini

Date for the night he has it captioned and posted on Instagram too

Adorable nandini replied back immediately sending loads of love emojis on the picture

Coming back home after spending a very good night making number of memories they retired straight into their rooms and after changing manik was back in nyonika's room who was just roaming around the room arranging the things leisurely......

Tm phir agye she laughed at how clingy he was being and manik just threw himself on bed and said I wanted to spend more time with u he looked at her like a Lost child looking for his mother to comfort him.....there was sth in his tone that told nyonika that sth was going on in the back of his mind

Amma come here naa he asked and nyonika left everything to be with her grown up child what's up manik she ruffled his hair and manik moved to give her space.....he pulled her legs placing them on his lap and he started messaging them as he was just babbling around telling her silly things which he never shared with anyone, the one he wanted to share with his mother only

Tm thakke hue hoge manik she tried to pull her legs back as she could see he would be tired after working the whole day at office and then giving time to his wife and mother

It feels good that m given one more chance to make things right...I wanna take full advantage of it he said truthfully as he looked into her eyes

I did wrong with u....very wrong he admitted again as he was very ashamed of it........nyonika just patted her lap and he quietly rested his head there.......she ruffled her hair gently and pushing his hair back she kissed his forehead

I haven't enjoyed in a long time like I did today she said to make him feel good and it was true also.....she enjoyed alot

Amma how u deal with it.....deal with a fact that a person ruined ur whole life.....don't u feel compelled to take revenge he asked and nyonika just looked at him Waiting for him to complete what he wanted to say

U know whenever I think about u or baba I feel like killing that bastard he admitted and nyonika said I just think about the good things.....I thank God that my bad phase is over she mumbled as she continued ruffling his hair

I mean look at our judiciary system.....I have been following baba's case from years and no rzlt....now urs is going also and I have no hope on it.....u know I m thinking from so long to just lift the cases from court he said as he was staring at the ceiling

And then what nyonika could sense sth wrong

The least I could do for u guys is take ur revenge......I want to see them suffer the way they made all of us suffer he stopped midsentence and she could see the pain thru his eyes

I don't want u to do this....m sure ur father wouldn't have approved of it either she spoke still in gentle tone understanding his emotions but also not letting him going into that zone

Would u really let them go like this cuz we both know they will be out soon , they have enough money to buy judges and everyone he said in passive aggressive tone

We shouldn't take justice in our hands

I m unable to get it out of my system....I feel like a culprit, I have done nothing for u guys he mumbled and nyonika saw his lips twitching and his face showed a painful expression

Why r u thinking like that manik she asked and manik sat on his knees and turned

Look at urself maa.....how could I not know that he mumbled and this time his eyes managed to get teary despite him trying his best to maintain his calm

We all make mistakes..... I made a mistake of choosing harsh as my partner but if I keep thinking about it , it won't let me live, I would get reminded daily of how my life ruined or how my son had to go thru worse just bcz of my one wrong decision

Learn to forgive urself manik....after this only we'll be able to live happily and also make others happy she caressed his cheek while saying all that and manik had his head hung low as he listened to everything

Understood she asked after sometime and he nodded

I don't want u to do anything stupid....we'll get justice thru proper channel she reminded him again and he hesitated I will think about it he still wasn't clear about it

Manik do anything stupid and I will forget that u r a grown up man now and married also she warned going back to typical mom mode

What will u do he asked still on his knees as he bit his lower lip and asked teasingly

I won't hesitate to pick my slipper and give u a taste of it she warned making him open his mouth in shock

No ,u won't do that he said in astonishment

M serious , u sure wouldn't want a demo she said in serious tone I wont approve of u doing anything that would disturb us a family and specially nandini who is going thru a very critical phase she warned

Hahhhhh he took a deep sigh and WE R BACK TO NYONIKA AND HER DIL he mumbled

Aap ko mera khayal bhi tb hi aya ke bahu ko inconvenience na ho he scoffed not liking it at all but still kept his head on her lap placing her hand on his forehead to feel her warmth

See I know how much my son loves his wife and m just loving her more cuz she is precious naa... FOR U she said and manik just smiled more and she ruffled his hair while manik snuggled into her like a small baby

OK bye maa he mumbled after sometime  getting up as he squeezed her body in a tight hug making her squeal manik stop.....u r so clingy she mumbled and he laughed pulling her more into him

************

M home maa manik shouted from hallway As nandini was at her dad's from past 3 days.....he was planning to go straight to room and get some sleep as he was planning to pay a visit to yash's House to see his lady love and father in law cuz apparently nandini was angry at him or was ignoring him and he could feel it badly.....she didnt reply when he messaged her I think u forgot me

A WIFE SHOULD BE NICE TO HER HUSBAND he thought pouting and as he was passing by the Kitchen he saw a saree pallu and then it disappeared cuz whoever she was moved from there

Amma wore red today...maverick ke baad jawaani yaad agye hai inhe he thought and decided to follow behind

Amma he called marching inside kitchen as he bent infront of fridge and pulled out water bottle gulping half of it down his throat.....putting the cap back on the bottle he said I think u r missing dad he turned around as he said those words and

Holy shit he said loudly spilling some water too as he saw nandini drapped in a saree and looking hot

U wore it for me he asked going towards her while wiping his mouth as he gazed at her intently

Nhi mom ke liye phne thi she rolled her eyes at his question

Sexy he whispered as he pulled her closer by her hand and he would have proceeded further but nyonika disturbed them

Evening maa he left her hand flustered and moved towards nyonika who kissed his temple as he bent infront of her.....taking her hand he proceeded towards dining table present in the kitchen

How was ur day he asked loosening his tie while on the other hand nandini went to get some food for manik.....after sometime nandini arrived with food and while she was serving him manik eyed her badly making her nervous but still she tried to maintain her calm.

Maa aapne sikhaya ise he asked with a smile and nyonika smiled brightly seeing his shining eyes and then nodded....ohhhh u r great he shouted with happiness hugging nyonika making her laugh at his act......he kept chatting with nyonika although he wasnt ignorant of Nandini's presence too who was just tucking her hair behind her ears repeatedly....she was getting concious cuz of his constant gaze....after finishing his meal manik picked his tray to place in sink while nandini picked up dish and curry bowl following manik.....she knew he would get out of control and that's why she wanted to just go away from there without giving a chance to manik but he was quick enough to grab her hand

Mein upar jarha hn.....jaldi ana he said and nandini just made a helpless face

Maa hai abhi....how can I she tried to put some sense into him but he was manik

Haa isi liye keh rha uper ajana khud....ab maa ke samne mein utha ke leke jao achaw nhi lgta he smirked and nandini just wanted to punch him for acting so smart.......she Curled her hand but manik held it and gently kissed her hand larai hm kamre mein kare ge jaan he teased and turned around but stopped after few steps I will be waiting.....abhi to 3 din ka hisaab bhi lena mene he said and went away okay maa m going to take some rest he went away easily making it more difficult for nandini as she just glared at his back but stayed rooted to her place with her back attached to kitchen counter for support

Nandini m also going in my room nyonika said as she very well knew her son and she made it easy for her innocent dil beta u should also go to ur room......manik wait kar rha hoga she said with a smile and nandini gave a shy smile

Entering into room nandini looked straight to find manik lying on bed and already looking at door.....

Idhar ao.....mjhe dikhao to shi zara manik stood up and took steps towards her with a smirk on his face

Wese nice way to reduce my anger After not picking my calls or replying to any message he said as he held her hand pulling her closer so she hit his shoulder

Tm bhi to har ghante msg kar rhe the she pouted and manik just stared at her in return with those deep eyes making her flustered aise na dekho mjhe

Shaadi ke itne time baad bhi ajeeb lgta she covered his eyes to escape from his deep gaze

I've never seen someone looking so beautiful in saree he said with eyes fixed on her as he kissed her hairline and she said

Stop....mene dekha tha mirror mein bs theek hi lg rhi she mumbled and manik pulled her with him to bed

Look at u from my eyes...then only u'll get to know he said as he hovered above her and smooched her lips......rolling he lied down beside her and asked tilting his head

Didnt u miss me a bit he asked and nandini smiled mischievously no, I was quite busy

Not even tiny bit he asked making puppy face nah she denied but only she knew how could a person forget someone like manik who makes sure to stay in her thoughts 24/7

Mene to bht Kia he admitted turning his body towards her completely

Tmhe bhi aur apne babies ko bhi he said and nandini rolled her eyes Kuch bhi manik.....babies are still in my womb....u haven't even seen them she reasoned

It's the connection....I dont need to see them silly he knocked her head as he shaked his head in disbelief how could she be so stupid

Manik m not talking to u yaar.....she made a sad face as how could he call her silly....SHE WASNT STUPID OR SILLY....getting up she tried to go to dressing but manik held her hand

Nhi abhi I can't take risk of making u angry.....itni pyaari lg rhi ho tm he said obsessing over her looks and she just gave him a look i've work she said trying to free her hand

Achaw ab nakhre na karo manik said laughing as he spread her hair over her shoulder and caressing the ends

Bht ghussa ane lga hai tmhe he mumbled as nandini sat cuz her back was aching but manik's cmnt made her upset and she stared at him with deadly glare

Dekho abhi bhi kar rhi he teased as he also sat beside her but nandini didn't reply .......she was just staring at front when manik leaned forward to look at her face, she was biting her lip as her eyes were filled with tears

Nandini Kia hua hai he asked getting concerned all of sudden

My back.....it hurts she said as tears slipped off her eyes cuz she had someone's attention and concern who was her very own husband

Why didn't u tell me b4 he asked as he rubbed it gently and nandini just placed her head on his shoulder

OK go lie down he asked and she lied down quietly and manik placed pillows as per her comfort and position himself to give her back massage

Is it hurting somewhere else he asked as he caressed her hair pushing them away so he could see her face

Just back she mumbled and manik placed a kiss on her hair I love u so much he mumbled as he kept giving her good message careful to not put his weight on her

What special do u wanna eat today he asked manik STOP nandini laughed as she knew how much of a tease he was tm bht bure ho....u tease me of my food all the time she pouted and he laughed

Haan to u have all the crazy cravings of the world who eats pickle with Nutella and rice with mango on it he said and nandini knew it was weird but the combo tasted so good

I like it that way she mumbled but I don't.....u should know so to not force me to eat it too he was always a victim of her weird food combos and nandini just tched

U know what u r making me feel so bad she turned around sideways and wrapped her arms around his neck manofying him and I love u naa manik took full advantage as he leaned down and kissed her

I love u 2 naa he said in same tone and nandini giggled making him kiss her one more time on cheek

Offcourse u...he smooched her lips after all u r mother of my children he said and nandini smiled in contentment u know u will be my first love always and u will always be first to recieve my love and care she said and pinched his cheeks adoring her beautiful hearted husband

***************

Here's mango shake manik placed tray on table and then gave nandini her glass and taking his also he sat beside her

From now on u r wearing sarees more, atleast infront of me he said and nandini just turned tomato red at his words....nandini hid her face holding a glass of shake but seeing him going off track she murmured insaan bno maa arhi hain

She's so cool....why would she mind manik said and meanwhile nyonika came and nandini shifted on her place

Haina maa u won't mind he asked innocently and nyonika was so clueless what she asked taking her glass of juice

This He kissed nandini's cheek making her flustered while nyonika laughed

Now look at ur wife.....she is red like a tomato nyonika referred to his previous day teasing and manik chuckled placing arm around nandini she is so innocent

That she is nyonika agreed adoring her son and mil looking so cute together but u r not nandini murmured fisting his rib cage secretly that nyonika couldn't notice

Maa we r going America....I have some work there and after that we would just travel and enjoy manik informed nyonika and she placed her glass back on coffee table and said

It's good......u should really go on a trip somewhere b4 babies she approved of the idea and nandini excitedly started discussing more about the trip and then the topic shifted to babies

Won't u guys do baby shower or sth like that nyonika asked aaj kal ke bache karte haina sb she said and manik had no interest doing anything like that but if nandini wanted to do it he surely had no problem

Idk u ladies can decide....I've no problem he said carelessly as he pulled out his mobile and started scrolling social media

I m actually planning on doing it nandini said and manik nodded dekh lo kese Kab karna hai.......mjhe date and time bta dena i will be there he said and nandini rolled her eyes we would be honoured by your presence she said in burnt tone

If u r planning on going abroad then we should do baby shower b4 that....nyonika suggested and nandini agreed fully

*************

The whole preparations were done in a week and it was the day......wearing a beautiful maxi nandini was all dolled up to attend the event and manik was in light blue tuxedo waiting for her beautiful wife to finally come out as her hairstyle was being done by hairstylist

Soon she arrived and sat beside manik on lounge sofa do I look good she asked the same question she had been asking alot like daily.....manik had realised she was getting very concious of her appearance and manik had been assuring her alot showing lots of love to her

U r gorgeous and u r looking so pretty today.....its hard keeping my eyes away from u manik said as he kissed her forehead

Stand together nyonika said as she came from behind and looked at her children looking really good.....obeying her they both stood together and manik had maintained a decent distance this time making nyonika point it out

Get closer manik....lemme take a picture of u 2 she said and it seemed like manik got license as his hand was on her waist the next minute

Nazar na lge kisi ki she mumbled as she stared at the picture she took one more adoring them and nandini just smiled....nyonika then applied kohl behind their ears and kissed them one by one.......

U r looking just like ur father today nyonika said as she straightened out invisible creases off Manik's suit by moving her hand repeatedly over his blazer.....she had her eyes on him constantly......

He looked more handsome or I he asked in a teasing way

My son is more handsome she mumbled as she kissed his temple while manik engulfed her in a hug.....while they were talking manik noticed nandini had her heels on

Ummm nandini u gonna wear that to party he asked as he didn't approve of her wearing heels that too on 71/2 month of pregnancy

Yes....pretty naa she said smiling and manik shook his head wear flats instead he said and nandini frowned it didn't go well with my dress....moreover I look so small in them....u r so tall she reasoned and though manik knew her concerns were genuine he didn't want her to get hurt neither the babies

Everyone knows u r pregnant.....its more about comfort and for me u r beautiful anyway he said and nandini just sat down and looked at him with puppy eyes.....I can handle it manik

Then don't come to me complaining of backache.....I won't be really nice he stressed on every word and nandini smiled though it wasn't at all pleasing to him while nyonika let the couple decide not interfering a bit

M going to sit in car.....plzz come soon else we would be late she mumbled b4 going out leaving manik and nandini behind where manik was still skeptical about the choice of heels but then gave up and sighed atleast keep spare shoes with u he said and nandini obliged obediently as she could do that obviously otherwise she knew they all would stay at home obviously with a very pissed off manik

Soon they were in party where there friends were already waiting for them

Welcome soon to be mom dad they all shouted cheering for them and manik and nandini walked towards them hands entwined and with a shy smile on their faces

Ufff our power couple aliya came closer to them and hugged them one by one

Do I look good nandini asked once the boys left and only girls were present

U look bomb said one of girls and everyone else gave her assuring looks

Thank God......I just don't like ladies gawking at him and if they are in for competition then m no less.....I should look more pretty then those bimbos nandini muttered and aliya patted her shoulder no comparison today

Yes let's show them reality.......I really hate when they tell him how handsome he is and stuff like that and get Frank with him she scoffed and others laughed at her jealousy

My baby is telling jealousy stories manik peeked from behind and nandini bit her tongue sensing his presence......manik wrapped his arms around her from behind and placed it on her protuded abdomen while nandini was busy glaring at her frnds who didn't tell her about manik

So what is the purpose of telling a thing we both already know......actually they want to get close to u she mumbled and manik nodded innocently haan bilkul theek kha why discussing my beauty when they could spend time talking how beautiful u r he teased as he bent and kissed her cheek earning hooting from frnds......nandini finally blushed sinking in his embrace and manik gently handled her

The party was in going on in full mood and as nandini got up from beside nyonika to check on manik who had been absent from the site from many time.......she saw a group of girls surrounding him and he was laughing at some of their jokes ....her nostrils flared and she glared at him while cabir who was observing her called her name

Ghar jake system update kar lena iska he teased and nandini just laughed at him stop it.....u all men are like this she mumbled and she still had her eyes on them

Bechara itna seedha to hai.....he only thinks of u he took his friend's side for the first time

Haan as he should  nandini flicked her hair back

Ohhhh my God who invited her nandini's shocked voice appeared and cabir looked at avni who was in a very skimpy dress

Ohhhh she cabir looked flustered as the short meeting of manik and cabir with avni came infront of his eyes as they were in mall to shop for baby shower where avni met them by chance and invited her own self to baby shower considering that she was a good friend.........cabir and manik couldn't say no as they thought she wouldn't really come but there she was

Ufff she will ruin his marraige cabir muttered under his breath but nandini couldnt hear it GOOD FOR HER

I invited her...she's my good friend cabir stuttered but then managed to answer confidently......he coughed looking at manik and avni who were talking and he could feel nandini had her eyes on them only

She's such a nice person

Yeah very sweet....I know nandini gritted her teeth as she could see her repeatedly touching him and then she raised her hands in defeat enough I can't bear more

Nandini it's okay cabir tried to hold her hand when nandini tried to walk away and it was miscalculation in judgment which made nandini stumble and she lost her balance but b4 she could fall cabir held her preventing her from falling

It drew everyone's attention and manik's breath hitched in his throat and pushing everyone aside he ran towards nandini

Nandiniii he called as within a minute he was beside her who was seated on ground holding her feet which twisted

What happened.....u okay he asked in concerned tone and nandini looked at him with teary eyes making him skip a beat.....the hospital scene at the time of first miscarriage appeared in his eyes and he sweated despite that it was winter season

We r going to hospital he said quickly and then picked her up going towards his car.....the only thing he wanted was assurance from doctor that everything was fine.....the last trimester was more critical of such incidents and it was stressing him out

Back in car after spending 2 hrs in hospital and assuring that everything was okay except a little sprain in left foot , they were returning back to home where nandini was in backseat while nyonika was infront with manik who was driving quietly

Aree manik why r u so quiet nyonika said breaking the deadly silence in car

So what to do.....sth stupid to cheer up the little baby of our house who injured herself he said in dead serious tone

It was just an accident she said to dilute the tension and manik shook her head No her love for heels caused it....cause apparently wearing heels seemed more important than hers and babies life he gave a sharp look to nandini from the back view mirror

They reached home and manik looked at nandini who was struggling to decide whether to put pressure on her sprained foot as she was also afraid to call manik for help

Khare hue Kia ho help her nyonika scolded him who was just staring at her

Yeah.....who will do it except me he rolled his eyes as he gently picked nandini securing his hands around her body wrap ur hands around my neck he said his tone was stern and even his caring sentence couldn't nullify the coldness in his tone and nandini did as told......manik brought her to one of the rooms on ground floor as using stairs wasn't good for her

Rest karo mein kuch khane ko leke ati tm logo ke liye nyonika said as they came b4 dinner was served and knew they both would be hungry .....manik quietly went to washroom to freshenup while nandini nodded with teary eyes

Zayda dard horha nyonika asked with concerned eyes and nandini just lowered her head trying to control her tears.....nyonika went to sit beside her when nandini hugged her

Maa what if sth would have happened to babies nandini sobbed I didnt want this to happen she said as she looked at her who just caressed her face sympathetically

Hahhhhh manik who had just come out of bathroom scoffed hearing her.....nyonika shot him a glare who didn't pay any heed to it instead kept rubbing his wet hair with towel

Mistakes can happen from everyone nyonika comforted as she could see tension on her face

Amma dont defend it atleast manik didn't approve of it and nandini angered at the thought of him not understanding anything

She could have seriously hurted herself or babies he said in serious tone and nyonika got up just ignoring him knowing it will further infuriate the situation

These r not only ur babies......I also care for them she said as soon as nyonika left the room and manik just stared at her

Why did u invite avni she asked and manik just looked at her Is this what we r gonna talk about right now he was clueless and a bit furious about it

Yes, I wanna know it was our event and I didnt want her there she said and manik just didn't have the slightest idea that she was getting so insecure with it

It's not that big of a deal and moreover I didnt want to invite either cabir made me do that he answered and nandini just didn't look at him and nyonika who took her good time to get the food came in to see them fighting still and she shook her head but said nothing

And why would it be a problem for u.....after all u r getting all the attention and complements......u r not going thru major body transformation she complained and manik didn't believe she actually said that.....they both forgot that there was someone else in the room other than them

Why will I enjoy it......huh manik sighed loudly as he shifted his gaze from her

Or wait u thought that bcz u r gaining weight so m not attracted to u anymore and happy getting all the attention......May be someday will grab the opportunity also he said in disbelief and nandini stayed quiet as what he just said was true.....she was thinking like that unconsciously and when manik voiced it out she felt kinda bad about it

U both r not kids......aur manik tm bahir jao....let her eat something she ordered strictly

Aap bs Isko pamper karte rhe......aap ne hi sar pe charhaya hua hai he mumbled disapproving of her sipppttong nandini and nyonika gave him a glare making him move out and nyonika looked at nandini who was just sitting on bed with gaze lowered

Fighting won't help u guys nandini......what is the problem , tell me she asked and nandini just shook her head

I don't know what's wrong with me.......I know what m thinking is wrong but I just can't help it.....women get so frankly with him cashing every chance they get to flirt with him she shed tears and nyonika knew she was going thru a tough situation and the hormones were getting he best of situation

Communicate with him.....that's the best thing to do.....talk about every single thing....don't just keep it in ur heart she said and nandini broke down in tears and nyonika consoled her, giving her tips and tricks and then fed her the food and after giving her paracetamol for pain relief telling her to sleep

Picking up the tray she went out of room and after placing utensils down on kitchen counter she went to check on her son who must have hungry also and he was there on lounge sofa with his face covered with cushions and laid down

Utho m bringing food she said and manik removed cushion from his face and looked at her mother who seemed tired too but still wanted to feed her children first

Lazily he went to sit on dining chair and rested his head on table waiting for amma who was warming food for them

U disappointed me today manik nyonika said and manik lifted his head to look at her

Seriously he lifted his hands in air what did I do

Mere jaan I expected more maturity from u

Amma yaar aise na kare , I bore all her childish behaviour cuz I know it's fair on her part to expect me to bear her tantrums but I just couldn't let it go when she risked hers and babies life he reasoned

Uper se aap ko lgta ke mein ghalat hn

She is going thru a rough phase....pregnancy is not easy nyonika supported her and manik groaned

It doesn't mean she will question me about every female and associate me with them he said in disturbed tone and nyonika answered that's for u to figure out , why is she thinking like that and where is the problem

U both should work as a team to get out of this she said and manik nodded

OK manaa lnga aapki bahu ko he groaned and nyonika playfully slapped his nape

Stupid she mumbled and lovingly patted his cheek shabash ab khana khao.....bhook lge hoge tmhe

*************

After having dinner manik went to room where he saw nandini on bed with face covered.....manik slowly took steps towards bed and lied down after turning off all the lights......he stared at the ceiling And then at her who was just still but as he looked longer he could feel her shivering but it wasn't obvious enough so manik didn't say anything

He closed his eyes but opened after sometime hearing her sniffing who made him get up with a jerk.......he went to her side of bed and lowering down he pulled cover off her face and nandini had her eyes shut......manik moved his finger close to her lashes who were damp

Nandini utho manik rested his hand on her cheek but nandini stayed motionless

I know u r awake  he nudged her shoulder and nandini sobbed making him more concerned Hua Kia hai it made nandini sob more and manik made her sit and as soon as she sat she hid her head in manik's chest

Ro kyon rhi ho he asked as he caressed her hair dard horha hai he asked in worried tone and nandini nodded

Didn't u take painkiller he said and nandini mumbled le thi

Manikkk I didnt want this to happen she held his collar and mumbled as she looked at him with damp eyes

And also I didnt want to say this....I dont know what's wrong with me.....why m getting so jealous she said and manik nodded

It's okay ..... no need to explain he caressed her hair and nandini just kept staring at him while shedding tears

U know what I only love u...........avni is not even pretty yaar he whispered and nandini scrunched her nose dont talk about her she said posessively

Phir whi baat manik said and nandini just shyly chuckled I want u all by myself

Tmhara hi to hn....ab aur koi lift bhi nhi karwata.....wahaan bhi the only thing I had to say to take part in conversation was *haan my wife is also like this*  and nandini laughed loudly at his sentence

The picture zoomed out with them enjoying the night with silly talks while stars twinkled brightly lightening everything around
