He was shirtless arranging his bed as he was damn tired after a hectic flight and just wanted to sleep for some time to get fresh for morning meeting.....after arranging his bed he went towards his suitcase which was present at some distance from bed.....placing it on table he started taking out things he needed for morning......a phone call brought him out of his busyness as he looked at the bed where his cell phone was placed.....a smile spread across his face as he looked at the caller id....jumping on the bed he covered himself with quilt as he started the conversation

My angelllll his voice itself softened as he called her by his favourite name.....and hearing his voice all anger on him flew away and she couldn't help but smile thinking about him

I was waiting for ur call idiot she said remembering how worried she was for him

Ohhhhh he slapped his forehead in realization wo baby I.. I he knew she was gonna be so mad at him

U forgot....Haina rolling her eyes she asked and he said in innocent tone making a puppy face

Already m missing u....atleast dont scold me

Ohhh really drama king....stop using these flattering lines on me she said in strict tone as she stifled her laughter at his words.....

Baby in sad tone u r calling my luv as drama and as an answer manik heard loud laughter of nandini on the other side

Stop this manik.....m already missing u and now I will start crying she said as sadness swept deep down her heart

Aree rona nhi baby he said in soft tone u look ridiculous while crying and his next statement made her burn in anger

Manikkkk UUUU she shouted and manik said laughing

Handsome he added and nandini said nhi u r very khadoos and I hate u

Ohhhh so much love for me he said unaffected by her anger and like that they kept talking....manik was tired but he just couldn't ask her to end the call seeing her so excited and happy.....

Did u eat ur dinner she asked and he responded with a yes...

Tm dad ke ghar chale gye na he questioned back as he wasnt ready to let her stay alone in malhotra mansion after all those threats......some part of his heart was scared for her

Yes chale gye....tm aur dad bilkul 1 jese ho...even he scolded me for not eating properly she pouted with fake anger and she could hear manik's laughter from opposite side of phone......she kept blabbering about the whole day telling him the minor details while he kept listening to her chirping voice forcing his eyes to stay open but on the other side Nandini's talks weren't cmng to an end and at a point he wondered how can a person talk that much without even stopping for a moment rubbing his temple he rested his head on pillow smilingly with an intention that it would ease the pain but he didnt know when and how he slept there without even saying a proper good bye to nandini......nandini looked at the phone in confusion as she realised that she didnt hear his voice from so long

Manik she called him 2 3 times but no response

Lgta hai so gya idiot she murmured smiling as she blew a kiss at phone and cut the call with a fluttering heart as a thought popped in her mind that despite being tired he kept listening to her stupid talks just cuz he couldn't say NO to her 💞💞

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

He was in hotel lobby in his black tuxedo as they were heading for a meeting......manik was talking to his manager about the meeting when they saw prerna coming there in white shirt with pencil skirt.....she passed him a flirtatious smile as their eyes met but manik ignored it as he averted his attention to manager......after the briefing the manager went away while manik too was about to go when prerna said in her chirpy voice

Sir this outfit looks gud on u....making u more handsome in flirtatious tone she said as she frankly placed hand on manik's bicep and manik gritted his teeth at her and said

Yes I know my wife already told me that passing her a glare he went out thinking that she was really trying on a married man....his nostrils flared in anger as he made his mind to hire a new PA and prerna stomped her foot watching the khadoos boss going away without even looking at her for once.....all her efforts to impress him went invain....frustatedly she sat with the manager as they both headed towards the office while manik went in a separate car....

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

U know what nandini m very positive we'll get the deal....everything went so smooth manik informed nandini as he stuffed his mouth with pizza....placing the knife and fork back on plate he adjusted his phone to get proper image of nandini

Yeah all bcz of my wish she flaunted

My lucky charm he said with a beautiful smile and nandini smiled as she said those words just to get a funny reply but in turn he honoured her and she couldn't help but say in voice loaded with emotions

I luv u so much she whispered and manik just blew a kiss in response

Waise nandini the environment is very hot here he said as he fixed his eyes somewhere and opened the first two buttons of his shirt teasingly

Wait....lemme show u he said and placing knife and fork back on plate he grabbed his cell phone and opened the back camera focusing on stage where a girl was performing belly dance on stage...Nandini's eyes popped out as she watched her moves

Manik tm ye sab dekh rhe ho in unsure tone she asked and manik bit the inside of his cheek to stop himself from laughing......he just showed that to her to just tease her as he didnt pay much attention to the dancer

Haan toh....she is gud at what she is doing.....and she is.....umm...sexxxy he said as he bit his lower lip and nandini was on verge of crying but sudden anger filled her heart as she shouted

U know what u only have 5 minutes to finish ur meal and like a gud boy u will walk out of here with ur eyes lowered with angry face she muttered every word with gritted teeth

Nahhhh....I was planning to watch late night show also as I will be free tomorrow manik added fuel to already burning fire and nandini burned in anger b4 shouting

Fine usi se shaadi kar lo aur haan dont even call me again and b4 he could stop her she ended the call and manik just smiled at her....wiping his mouth he got up from chair and walked away while unlocking his phone

*I want to be ur stethoscope forever,hanging out with u,hearing ur heartbeat and being in love with u every single moment..doctor nandini malhotra u r the only girl who touched strings of my heart*

Pressing the send button he thrusted cell phone in his pocket as he sat on cab to take him back to hotel.....in less than a minute his phone was ringing

M still angry at u she said with fake anger

And I wont even try manofying u again he rolled his eyes at her statement

Tm but bure ho....u could have said sth more romantic she puffed a huge amount of air and manik couldn't help but laugh at her cuteness.....

Life can be so beautiful I never imagined that he said looking at the sky thru car's window

Now their will be happiness everywhere she said smiling unaware of  the destiny laughing at both of them

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

Their days were passing smoothly...every night they both used to talk telling eachother about their day routine.....it was only 5 days left for his arrival When one day nandini woke up with an urge to vomit....she ran inside the washroom and minutes later she came out wiping her mouth......thinking of it as a consequence of work load and not taking proper meals she left for breakfast.......both the father and daughter were eating their breakfast while chatting......She was in midway when she felt nauseatic again and ran inside the room to puke......yash followed her and started pacing in the room worriedly

Bache r u okay he asked worriedly

Yes dad might be due to food poisoning or work load she said as she sat on bed all drained out

Okay u r not going to hospital....take some rest...u will be okay....m sending aai(maid) also he said as he kissed her temple and left her room

After sometime aai came with orange juice and sat on bed caressing Nandini's hair

Chalo bache uth jao she said to nandini who got up hearing her voice.....aesha aai was the one who brought up nandini after her mother's death

Itna kaam karte hai mere beti....she said lovingly and nandini just smiled

Kab se horha hai ye aur mjhe nhi btaya tmne scolding her in motherly tone she said

Aai bs 1 2 dino se nausea feel horha....pta nhi kyon in confused tone nandini murmured but it brought a smile on aesha aai face

Doctor ko check karwaya....her tone turned excited and nandini looked at her with raised eyebrow

Aree bewakoof khud doctor ho tmhe nhi PTA she said slapping Nandini's forehead and Nandini's eyes widened in realization

R u serious aai nandini said and aai just nodded while nandini hugged her tight....she got ready for hospital and later on the reports were positive showing she was pregnant.....her happiness knew no bound and she just wanted to see manik.....aryaman who was passing by saw her sitting on bench staring at some reports....wondering he went near her and placed hand on her shoulder....Nandini tilted her head to look at the person and finding it to be aryaman she jumped off the bench and hugged him tight

Aryaman me and manik r going to be parents she told him excitedly and immediately a smile appeared on his face as he encircled hand around her shoulders

Wow....that's a big news.....let's call manik and tell him he drew phone out of his pocket but nandini took the phone back saying

No....mein khud btao ge use she said and aryaman raised his eyebrow b4 a mean smirk made it's way to his lips ohhhh I seeeee he said as he walked out of there and nandini stood there with a big smile on his face

In evening

Dad u r going to be nana nandini muttered shyly as she lowered her gaze but yash who was sitting close to her immediately engulfed her in hug

Ohhh my baby is going to have a baby he said kissing the top of her head

How will we handle 2 babies at once he said and nandini protested daaadddd while yash laughed at her and kissed her hair again

Mera bacha itna bara hogya....kaash mom bhi hoti tmhare she would have been so much happy his voice turned emotional as he still used to love Nandini's mom like day one

Dad she broke the hug and palmed yash's hand mein jo hn aapke paas yash simply nodded with a smile and asked aur hmara shehzada kesa hai....usko btaya his tone filled with love for manik

Nhi wo wapis ajaye then I will tell him....I wanna see his reaction she said and her cheeks burned at the thought

M sending juice and some nuts....dont make any excuse...u need to take care of urself he said as he patted her hair and nandini pouted in response

At night when all frnds went after congratulating nandini she decided to go for shopping as she needed few things......in mall as she was cmng out of her favourite clothes brand her eyes fell on babies shop....looking at the cute outfits her heart swelled with happiness imagining her and manik's child in all those outfits.....without giving a second thought she went inside and bought cute outfits for her child....her eyes fell on a jumpsuit which had I LUV MY DADDY printed on it

smiling she picked that outfit and headed out of the shop.....she shook her head thinking about her hormones which were already messing up and making her do the silliest things......next she was passing thru when she saw couples buying personalized items...customized mugs and other things.....an urge to get personalized cups for them evoke in her headt and quickly acting upon it she asked scribe to write MR MANIK AND MRS MANIK on mugs and stood there as if she had achieved a big thing.....

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

Holding a photo frame yash sat on his bed as he sadly caressed the person in that photo

U know what u r going to be dadaa talking to raj from the photo he said

Haan tera wo gadha beta baap bnne wala hai....aur mein nana a tear rolled down his eye as he wiped it immediately

I miss u guys he said as he looked at raj and Nandini's mom's photo

But it's okay....u guys r here he said poking his chest with his right hand index finger and sighing deeply he placed the photo frames back on side table and switched off the lights as for the rest of night he just wanted to stay with the memories of his love and his dearest frnd

*************
Manik see what I got for us she said flashing the mugs infront of camera proudly...

Wow....how thoughtful of u nandini he said hiding his smile matlab without these mugs noone would have believed about the love b/w us supporting his chin with his palm he said sarcastically and Nandini's face fell at his statement

Is it that bad with her lips curved down she said in sad tone

No not bad....but just a question flickering his eyebrows together did u get this idea from a cheesy TV serial of a creepy teenager love story and nandini frowned in answer

Ohhh wait  u showed it to all of them naa??? Everyone should get to know how deeply we r in love with eachother he said laughing and nandini was on verge of crying seeing him making fun of those mugs

It's okay...I will return them tomorrow...khud to kuch Kia nhi aur mein karo to mazaq ura rhe in angry tone displeased by his behaviour

Okay okay.....so when r u going to make a yummy coffee for me in this mug he asked and she gave him an angry glare

Manik u r the best...that's what u were going to say na?? In mischievous tone he said and she just smiled

No I was going to say that how self obsessed u r and they both laughed at her statement

Come soon I have a surprise for u A red shade appeared on her cheeks as she said those words but it went unnoticed by manik

Ohhhh what is it he asked excitedly sounding like a kid

Surprises r meant to be kept secret she rolled her eyes at his question while manik must pouted in return

But I wanna know...u know abhi 5 din rhte hai yaar he insisted and it was her time to tease....smirking she waved her hand

Bye manikkk she said in attitude and manik who was trying to stop her only had black screen to stare on

So that's it 🙈🙈...tell me how was it
