Nani : ha putar bolna chahiye....Tune kyu piya......She said feeling guilty .....

Nandu : but apne mujhe bahut pyaarse pilaya.....So mana nahi kar paya ......I just said I'm hungry .......You made me drink it ...Just like my amma ......So I didn't say no .......Bcoz she also used to immediately feed me as soon as I say I'm hungry ........I just felt like amma is feeding me .....Sorry nani .....

Then nani hugged her tightly .......All the family members feel happy for their bonding ........

Nani : ok so next time no dahi for you ......Come let's have some gola .....

Nandu : sachi dadi .....Nandu gives the lemon water to manik .......Which she drank only half. .....

Nani drags nandu and they both like kids eat gola .........Leaving everyone ......They all laugh at them to see the grown up kids .....And all the girls join them......Making the boys admire them......

Nandu : thank you doctor .....

Abhi moves to drop the doctor .......

Nandu : I'm fine ....Plzz go and rest.....

Everyone is talking to her.........But manik is standing silent ........

Nandu has tears ......Raj wipes them......

Raj : these tears don't look good from your eyes .......

Nandu : thank you dad ........

Raj : no .....You should not say thanks to dad....Do you say your dad ......

Nandu nodes in no....

Rohit sits the other side .....So don't be angry on him......He is just concerned for you ......

Nandu : this is cheating chachu.....U always support him...... Dekho na dad .....chachu only loves manik....she keeps a cute pout.....

They all laugh out loudly ......

Rohit : kya kare he is more like me than bhai .....Bcoz he is with me all the time ....He is just like a friend to me .......

Abeer : no baby ....It's not right .....

Rohit : abeerrrrr.... chup hojaooo yar .....I'm talking naa .....

Abeer: i know my name ......So don't shout .......vaise bhi you can punish him.......

Alok: u can do it later .......sheetal.....Get her food ......

Sheetal nodes and goes to get food ........

Rishi : so brave girl ........Why did you risk your life for him......

Nandu: i didn't do it for him.....uski jagah koi aur bhi hota toh ....I would have done the same ......Bcoz we are human .....The only thing which can protect others .......I can't see a person dying in front Me....It's that simple .......

Manish : so u saved him right .......

Nandu nodes in yes ........

Manish : he shouted on you ......And all ......But you tell me genuinely ......What type of a person he is........

Nandu : he is a monster ........

Nandu says immediately......The whole family laughs loudly .......moves in and settle around in different places .........

Nandu bites her tongue and puts her head down ......

Raj just pat on her head .......

Rohit : It's ok we accept he is a monster ......Only when he is angry ........

Nandu : no he is always a monster ...........She takes a break .........

But this monster protects ......He is very possessive for his family and friends .....He is very caring.......And good at heart ...He just shouts bcoz he dont know how to show his love and care for his family and friends ........He might sound rude for others but for his family he is really the best person .....

They all smile on her answer .... .....Even manik gets a smile he is standing in the corner near the door ..........

Sheetal comes with food ......Nandu just stares at her ....Bcoz it's soup ......

Shrusthi navya abhi laughs out loudly .....Even manik is watching nandu ........

Swetha :kya hua .....shrusthi baby .....

Mukti : what's wrong ......Abhi

Shrusthi: nandu and soup .....Saying she again laughs ......

Abhi : She used to make mom dad run around the house to drink soup .....It's impossible to make her drink soup .......

Navya : i will make biryani for you ......Have that soup for now ....

Nandu makes a cute pout......And looks at manik for help .........He just turns the other side. .......The whole family observe this ........

Nandu : i dont like it's taste. ......Plzz ...

Neo : but you need to take medicine ......So light food is good .......

Nani : jaldi theek hojaoo .....U can eat everything ........

Dadi : ha bacha ......todha sa khaloo.....I will also make yummy food for you .....

She becomes sad but gets ready to eat the soup ........Then suddenly she finds a hand to see a big chocolate .....Her eyes twinkles .....But she sees the person.....It's manik ....Who is not looking at her .......

Nandu looks at him.....But doesn't take the chocolate ......But pushes his hand takes the soup bowl and started to drink the soup .........Finally she complete it ......Making shrusthi navya abhi shock with wide open mouths .....

Nandu : tum teeno muh toh bandh karo.....makki kya pura palace ghus jayegi......

Everyone laugh looking at them.....

Shrusthi side hugs manik .......Bhai dekho na .......Manik hugs her back .....

Everyone leaves the room to let her take rest .......And offs the light and covers her with blanket ......

But after sometime ......she just closed her eyes ......But feels some water on her face .....And someone kiss on her forehead .......

She just opens her eyes to see manik.........He just turns to go......But nandu held his hand........Nodding no......

He sits beside her .........She just wipes his tears ........And hugs him tightly. ......He also hugs her back ........

He just kisses her forehead and pats her head .........

Nandu : I'm sorry .....

Manik : I'm sorry ......

Both say at the same time ......And look at each other and smile ........

Manik holds her tight ......You scared me ........I felt like I lost you .......Never ever do that .......Plzz .....

Nandu : i just saw you there i just didn't understand anything .........Agar tume kuch hojata toh .......Can't u see fear in neo mom eyes .....She is so scared ........You have big family manik......They need you more than anyone.........You know I'm never scared of my life ......But still I'm hapoy to save you ......Don't worry .....Nothing happened na .......Even something happens to me after saving you ....I would never felt bad ....Even papa will be proud of me ........But if something happens to you ...That thought also scares me ......

Manik: nothing will happen to you .....I'm there to protect you .........So shut up the nonsense and sleep......He says in a stern voice .......

Nandu : monster ......

Manik : Lilliput ......Have this you will feel better .......

Nandu takes the chocolate ........Thank you Eiffel tower ......But still manik hugs her and she eats her chocolate ..........

This is seen by moms of the family ......Along with dad's ......Unfortunately who are passing by this room......They felt happy seeing them together ..........
