At night

Manik got a msg from mukti m waiting for u in park....come soon manik looked at the msg and then at nandini who was cmng out of washroom.......he grabbed his jacket and said

Ma: wo i have some work nandini.....i will be late (choosing words carefully so that she shouldn't doubt)

N: khan jarhe itni late night (concerned)

Ma: bye...bye... I m in hurry....i have a meeting with my business partner (grabbing his car keys)

N: but manik (she went behind him) abhi konse meeting hai..itne odd time pe (eyebrows narrowed)

Ma: use urgently wapis USA jana hai and b4 that we have to talk about the projects u know its important......so (he turned towards her knowing that she wouldnt stop her questioning session so he had to satisfy her properly otherwise he couldnt even move out of his room) I luv u (with this he pecked her lips and went away while she mouthed BYE in confusion......he started descending the stairs when he stopped and looked back towards their room where nandini was standing.....he passed her a smile and then looked back at the stairs whispering sorry jan and started climbing the stairs.........

At park

Manik parked his car and started walking when he saw mukti waving at him......he went towards her and saw 2 parked bikes....their eyes sparkled in excitement as they looked at the bikes.....mukti threw a key towards him which he grabbed and they both sat on their respective bikes.........

Mu: waise manik nandini ne baby ko aane kese dia itni late night (she teased him knowing that how much over protective nandini was for him)

Ma: huh (shot her an angry glare) i said that i have a meeting (tying the belt of helmet around his chin)

Mu: u lied to ur wife (she faked shock expressions......) hawww how bad Mr malhotra

Ma: dont make me feel worse okay....
M already feeling bad for lying to her (🙄🙄🙄rolling his eyes) and u know what ye sab tere waja se horha (kicking her leg)

Mu: awwww cute.....baby malhotra is feeling bad (getting off the bike she tapped his helmet teasingly while he pushed her not liking getting roasted by her)

They both looked at eachother when mukti shouted in annoyance

Mu: yaar m not wearing this......it's too annoying (placing the helmet on front of bike)

Ma: but its necessary....

Mu: 1 din na phnne se kuch nhi hota okay (making whatever face)

Ma: but u should wear it (he shrugged his shoulders while she made a whatever face)

They started their race on secluded road....both were trying hard to win the race but both were gud at it and no one was ready to let the other win......suddenly mukti's bike slowed down alittle and manik crossed her bike showing his tongue to her........he whistled and showed her victory sign but not finding her behind him for long he stopped the bike to saw her looking at him with annoyed expression......they tried to communicate but the distance was much so manik called mukti who was walking now.....
On call
Ma: what happened

Mu: fuel khatam hogya (she said making puppy face and manik laughed out at her expressions while she cut the call rolling her eyes)

Call ended

Ma: btw i won the game looser (he mocked as soon as she reached close to him)

Mu: ohh shutup fuel khatam hogya tha and race bghar kisi rzlt ke khatam hui hai (pushing him while she herself sat on bike so manik was sitting behind her)

Ma: i will drive....... utar bike se (he said glaring at her)

Mu: now dont start whining like a kid (she made him wear his helmet and started the bike while he sat beside her and then punched her back)

They both were talking about random things in a gud mood when manik asked

Ma: oye to kese aye....kia bahana (excuse) bnaya

Mu: mera wala to duty par tha (she said laughing while releasing the handle bars waving her hands excitedly in air)

Ma: lucky one (patted her shoulder)

They were so engrossed in their fun that the bike lost its balance and when they got to know about it they tried to handle it but then it was late as the bike hit the sand face causing the bike to sunk into the ground........they both also fell along with the bike and manik scooped her in his arms to protect her from getting hurt while in return his arms got scrapped with the road and the friction rzlt in skin tearing......he hissed at the burning sensation while mukti's head hit with the sand fence........they both were sitting on road one holding her bleeding forehead while other holding his scratched arm.......manik looked at her and then pulled a tissue from his pocket.....pressing it on her wound to stop the blood he looked at her worriedly

Ma: kahe aur to lge to nhi

Mu: nhi mjhe to nhi lge.....to theek haina (concerned)

Ma: haan m fine (glancing at the scratches where few blood drops started to appear......mukti looked at his arm and screeched seeing his arm........she held his arm and said in crying tone

Mu: ye sab mere waja se hua hai naa.....tune mjhe manaa bhi kia tha bike chalane se ...... (putting all blame on herself)

Ma: now who is acting like a cry baby (he mocked her trying to make the atmosphere light)

Mu: hain (confused)

Ma: we two r equally responsible for what happened....so itna free hone ki zaroorat nhi (🙄🙄🙄) kuch nhi hua bs thore se scratches han theek hojaye ge (mukti removed her stole and gave it to manik who carefully wrapped it around his arm and then wore his jacket..laughing at their condition they stood up and decided to walk as the distance wasn't that much were walking on the street when manik said

Ma: now mommy will scold me (he said making puppy face)

Mukti started laughing at his statement and said in b/w her laughter mommy......ohhhh u mean nandini while he nodded his head cutely thrusting his hands in his pants pocket...

Mu: bara darta hai to usse (pushing him lightly) MANIK MALHOTRA apni wife se darta hai.....ja manik mjhe disappoint kia tune

Ma: darta....darta nhi hn usse aur wo hai kitni se...chotu se to hai (he said chuckling) bs usmein alag baat hai....uski baat maane ka dil karta hai....dil karta hai ke wo order karte rhe aur mein pura karta rho (he said smiling looking at the sky) may be koi family nhi thi ab nandini hai to use khone se dar lgta hai (while mukti placed a hand on his shoulder) uske bghar rhne ka soch ke bhi saans band hone lgta hai (he looked at her with serious expressions)

Mu: u luv her very much (smiling....smiling bcz her frnd was smiling.....smiling bcz manik was settled in his life)

Ma: luv..... (examining the word)pyaar nhi ishq karta hn usse (his eyes shined when he talked about her) wo hai hi itni different...wo mjhe dekh ke smjh jate hai ke kia chal rha hai mere mind mein (his voice was filled with luv..luv for his nandini only) .....jab sare dunya manik malhotra ke naam se bhi darte hai wo mjhe punch maarte hai..... use dar hi nhi lgta mere se....(he said all this while laughing counting the no of punches he had recieved from nandini yet)

Mukti too laughed along with him and then wrapped an arm around him saying M so happy for u (manik smiled at her and like this they kept walking)

Ma: but bcz of u today i lied to her (yanking her hair in fun)

Mu: u idiot...moron (she ran behind manik who was running laughing with head off)

Mu: u will have to pay for it (she warned while panting when she failed in catching him)

Manik encircled his arm around mukti's neck and dragged her with him while they travelled the remaining journey like this laughing and making memories

Outside malhotra mansion

Mukti and manik looked at eachother standing infront of door......manik nudged mukti to enter first.....they both had just entered the door when they found nandini standing there crossing her arms near her chest......manik eyes widened first but then he turned on his heels saying mein to aaj bahir hi raat guzaro ga and moved towards the door when mukti pulled him back holding his jacket.......manan eyes met and he gave her a sheepish smile which caused no change in the taut expressions of her face..........

N: abhi agye hai tmhare wife bhi (turning her head towards lounge she shouted while mukti murmured maare gye aaj to )

Everyone knew about their adventurous bike ride as when nandini asked the driver to give manik his laptop but driver after returning told nandini that their was no meeting in the office.....worriedly she called manik but he didnt pick up the call......they all were searching manik when the guard of society's park told them that manik had parked his car in the parking area while he himself went with some girl on heavy bike.......on furthur investigation the guard mentioned that she was a girl of cabir's gang and bingo they all got to know about their plan......nandini was angry+worried....angry bcz manik lied to her and worried bcz she very well knew about their craziness and casual attitude towards everything.........

As they both entered the lounge mukti spotted angry abhi but after a moment his expressions changed to worried one when he saw dried blood on her forehead.....he came close to her and touched her forehead while she bit her lip and said

Ab: kia hua ye...kese (dragging her towards sofa)

Ma: wo thori se lg gye use

N: isi waja se mana karte the tm logo ko but hmare baat ki to koi value hi nhi (she scolded both of them while they lowered their heads....cabir was sitting on sofa watching all this with a huge grin on his face)

Abhi cleaned mukti's wound while she looked at manik....manik guessed her thoughts and shaked his head but mukti was mukti so she said

Mu: nandini wo.....umm manik ko bhi lge hai

N: what....khan (she said glaring at him while he having no other choice removed his jacket and nandini saw stole wrapped around his arm....she dragged him to the sofa and pushed him on it while she removed the stole and gasped worriedly seeing multiple scratches on his arm)

Ma: wo bs kuch nhi hai (pulling his hand back)

N: koi baat nhi sunni mene tmhare....chup kar ke bethe raho mjhe aur ghussa na dilao(she growled)

After washing his arm till elbow she soaked cotton in ointment and pressed it on manik's wound while he screeched at the sudden contact

N: shutup (frowning) 1 awaaz na sunaye de tmhare....bht shouk hai na heavy bike chalane ka tmhe (pressing more on wound in frustration while he sat there quietly)

Ma: ye hitler ki aulaad hme hi milne thi (he whispered in mukti's ear who was also sitting there making puppy face cuz of abhi's scolding while mukti nodded her head frantically)

Ab: i have heard it manik (rolling his eyes)

Ab: plan kiska tha ye (glaring at them)

Iska the duo pointed their fingers at eachother while abhni shaked their heads in ka kuch nhi hoskta...and went away to wash their hands leaving mukti and manbir on lounge alone.....

C: wese achaw hua tm dono ke sath mjhe nhi leke gye the naa (he said whisteling and then left from there too leaving the duo cursing at him)

Manan's room

Manik was sitting on bed while nandini entered the room holding tray.....placing it infront of manik she sat far from him while manik noticed it and jumped closer to her

Ma: naraz ho

N: nhi mene kyon naraz hona...tmhe bara mere parwah (concern) hai

Ma: haina parwah (holding her chin)

N: jao khana khao

Manik looked at her and then at food.....he dragged the tray infront of him deciding to pamper his baby after eating sth.....he started eating but after few bites the pain in scratches increased bcz of too much movement of arm.....using his left hand he took some tortilla but it was getting difficult for him to eat with left hand......seeing it nandini took that morsel from his hand and fed him which manik chewed happily......he was eating with a smile on his face enjoying it when nandini asked

N: jhoot kyon bola tha

Ma: u left me with no other option....(holding her hand to eat the morsel)

N: what...(raising her eyebrow)

Ma: dekho agar mein sach bolta to tm thori mjhe jaane dete.....to aur koi option nhi tha mere paas (he said shrugging his shoulders while she gaped listening his logic)

N: wow what a logic manik malhotra

Ma: i know right (casually)

N: idiot (slapping his shoulder)

Ma: achaw na dont make such faces....... (he came close to her) u look more cute

N: agar kuch hojata tm dono ko....why r u so irresponsible

Ma: hua to nhi naa (she glared at him which made him change his statement)

Ma: okay mom...ayenda se nhi karo ga (he said giving up while resting his head on her shoulder while she smiled at the baby)
