MaNaNi were done with the breakfast.

"Nandini..!! I think Cabir,Dhruv,Alya and

Mukti must be worried why don't we go to

them first?" Manik asked Nandini while

helping her in Dishwashing. Manvi was

playing in the lounge.

"Actually Mani I was thinking the same..!!

They must be worried..!! And it's been a

long time I met all..!! Pta nahi wo kesy

react karen gay mjy aur Manvi ko dkh

kar.!!" Nandini was a little scared.

"Nandu..!! Don't be scared..!! They all

understand and know you..!! Everything

will be fine..!! Main hoon na..!!" Manik said

and side hugged her. She smiled at him.

Manik kept talking to her and she was just

listening to him Manik had lots of things to

tell her. She was smilingly listening to him

and cleaning the kitchen. They were talking

to each other when Manvi came in. Manik

smiled at her and picked her up in his arms.

Now Nandini was just taking off her

working apron.

"Papa..!! Hum toys lainy kab jayen gay?"

Manvi asked sadly putting her arms around

Manik's neck and rested her head on his

shoulder.

"Awww..!! Your Mama is busy In work na..!!

Wo free ho jayen tou phr chalen gay..!!"

Manik said patting her back and she just

hummed and started sucking her thumb.

"Bus..!! I am free..!! Chalo chalein..!!"

Nandini said holding Manik and

Manvi's hand and Manvi's sad mood

instantly switched in a good one.

"Yupiee..!!" She clapped excitedly and

MaNan smiled brightly seeing their love

happy. Trio came out and Nandini saw a

dashing BMW standing in front of the house.

Manvi's eyes started shining on seeing such

a dashing Car.

"Papa..!! Ya Call(car) kish ki hai?" Manvi

asked Manik innocently and he smiled.

"Ya meri princess ki car hai..!!" Manik

told Manvi lovingly and Nandini side

hugged Manik in content. Manvi again

started clapping with excitement. Manik

made her stand on the ground and she run

towards the car. MaNan followed her side

hugging each other.

"Wow..!! Papa..!! It's aweshome..!!

(awesome)..!! Mama look OUL(our) own call

saying all that in innocence but Manik felt a

pang of pain in his heart. His own daughter

was deprived of the facilities which he

dreamt to give her. Nandini instantly felt

what Manik was thinking. She just pressed

his hands and gave him an assuring smile.

He look at her painfully and smiled weakly.

He composed himself and went near Manvi

who was now trying to open the door.

Manik picked her up in his arms and

opened the driver seat door.

"So Papa ki doll..!! You liked it..!!" Manik

asked touching her hair. Manvi bobbed her

head in excitement.

"Yesh Papa..!! I loved it..!!" Manvi exclaimed

and Manik smiled.

"Papa..!! Ab ap mjy daily is call(car) main

asked innocently and Manik closed his eyes

tightly to compose himself.

"Yes bacha..!! Papa will daily drop you at

school..!!" Manik told her smilingly and she

again clapped in excitement. Nandini was

just watching the duo who were busy in

conversation.

"Mama..!! Ap nay suna..!! Ab main bhi

Poolab(poorab) aul(aur) aalyaan(aryaan) ki

tlha(tarha) daily Papa kay sth jaoan ge..!!"

She shouted happily and Nandini walked

towards them. She smiled at Manvi and

Manvi hugged Manik tightly.

"I love you so much Papa..!!" She whispered

lovingly in his ear and kissed his cheek.

"Papa loves you more doll..!!" Manik said

lovingly and kissed Manvi's forehead.

"Mama ko tou sab bhool gaye..!!" Nandini

said with a fake anger and made a pout.

Manik laughed and side hugged her.

"No..!! We haven't forgot you..!! You are the

soul reason that we all are happy..!!" Manik

said lovingly and Manvi nodded her head in

excitement and held Nandini's hand in her

tiny hands.

"I love you both..!!" Nandini said smilingly

and Manik engulfed Manvi and Nandini in a

bear hug.

After sometime trio were sitting in THE

BMW. Manik was driving the car and Manvi

was sitting in his lap. Nandini was sitting

beside them. Manvi was busy in checking

everything of the car. She was very much

excited. She pressed the horn and clapped

happily. MaNan were just watching her.

"Papa..!! We ale(are) going to buy toys hai

na?" Manvi asked Manik looking at him.

"Yes beta..!! But before that I want you to

meet with your Chacho and Masi...!!"Manik

told her slowly he was fully concentrated on

the road.

"Chacho? Maushi?" Manvi asked confusingly

and look at Nandini.

"Yes Mano..!! They all your Papa's

friends..!!" Nandini told Manvi and she

started sucking her thumb once again as she

was confused. She slowly rested her head

on Manik's chest and wrapped her arms

around his waist. Manik smiled seeing his

little one confused.

"Ohhh Papa ka baby..!! They all will love

you..!!"Manik tried to relax her but she

remained quiet. Manik and Nandini were

talking to each other on different topics.

Now Nandini was telling Manik about

Manvi's School and her job. But Manvi was

busy in thinking about her soon-to-meet

Chacho and Maushi. Soon they reached the

hotel where Fab5 were resting.

"Chalo bacha..!! We reached...!!" Manik told

Manvi and three of them got down on the

car. Manvi with hand was holding Manik's

finger and with other she was holding

Nandini's finger. She was amazed seeing the

hustle and bustle of the hotel as she walked

with MaNan. Soon they reached a room.

Manik without knocking opened the door

and entered in it. Manvi saw four people.

Two were boys and two were girls. Seeing

them they got up. Manvi noticed shocked

expressions on their faces.

"Nandini..!!" They all shouted happily and

run towards Nandini. Seeing them running

crazily Manvi become afraid and hide

behind Manik and held his pants

tightly.They all at a time hugged Nandini.

"We missed you so much Nandini..!!"Alya

had tears in her eyes.

"Yes Nandini..!! Sab say zizda tmhy Manik

nay miss kiya..!!" Dhruv said smiling sadly.

"True..!! Hum nay sachi tmhy bohat miss

Nandini.

"But tum the kahan?" Cabir asked curiously

and all nodded.

"Guys..!! Ya sab baad main..!! First I want

you to meet our daughter...!! Manvi

Malhotra..!!" Manik said smilingly and he

almost dragged Manvi from behind. Manvi

was still not comfortable she was standing

quietly clinging to Manik's leg and Manik

was patting her head. Fab4 look at her and

she smiled at them confusingly. They all

rushed towards Manvi and Manvi's grip on

Manik's leg became more tight. Manik felt it

and he patted her head.

"Relax princess..!! They all are your

friends..!!"He gave her and assuring smile

she nodded. Fab4 kneeled in front of her.

"Manik..!! She is so cute..!!" Alya exclaimed

and Manvi smiled hearing her "Tareef".

"Manik...!! She is just like you..!!" Cabir too

exclaimed.

"Her hair are just like you Nandini...!!"This

time Mukti said touching Manvi's hair

softly.

"Her cheeks are just like Nandini..!!"Dhruv

too said and touched Manvi's cheeks.

"Hello..!!" Manvi waved her hand sweetly in

front of them and all of them went all awe

for her.

"Hello doll..!! I am Cabir..!!" Cabir

introduced himself smilingly and extended

his hand for a handshake. Manvi smiled and

held his hand.

"Hi Cabeel(cabir) Chacho..!!" Manvi said

cutely and Cabir was so happy the way she

called him "Cabeel Chacho" made him feel an

unknown proud. He kissed Manvi's cheeks

and hugged her suddenly Mukti pushed him

away from Manvi.

"Hat bhi..!! Let me introduced myself..!! Hi

baby I am Mukti..!!" Mukti told Manvi and

she smiled.

"Hello Mukti Maushii..!!" Manvi shook hand

with her and Mukti was so overwhelmed by

hearing the word "Maushi" . She too hugged

her tightly. Then again she too was pushed

by Alya and Dhruv. Manik had already told

Nandini that Dhruv and Alya were engaged.

They both sat in front of Manvi.

"Hi Manvi..!! I am Dhruv and she is my

soon-to-be wife Alya..!!" Dhruv introduced

himself and Alya. They both extended their

hands in front of her and she smiled. She

took their hands in hers.

"Hello Dhluv(dhruv) Chacho..!! Hi Alya

Chachi..!!" Manvi greeted them too and they

hugged her. MaNan were just smiling seeing

their little how much expertly she made her

relations.

"You all ale(are) singels(singers)?..!! Just

like my Papa..!!" Manvi asked excitedly.

"Yes baby doll..!! You want to see our

instruments?" Cabir excitedly and Manvi

nodded. He immediately picked her up in

his arms and run towards the other room

where they had placed all their instruments.

As soon as Cabir left the room with Manvi.

Mukti,Alya and Dhruv look at MaNan. They

all wanted answers.

"So..!! Now tum log btaoa gay kuch?" Mukti

asked and MaNan nodded. Manik knew that

Nandini will broke down if she will

repeat all that again so he decided to tell

them.

"Guys..!! It's Nayonika..!!" Manik started to

tell them the whole story. Silent tears were

rolling down of Nandini's cheeks and she

was sitting resting her head

on Manik's chest. And Manik with one hand

holding Nandini close to him and with one

hand he was holding her both hands. Fab3

were listening all that in a trance. All of

them were shocked.

...

Cabir came out of the room with Manvi

because he knew his friends wanted to talk.

"So baby doll..!! You know which

instrument I play?" Cabir asked Manvi and

she shook her head in a no.

"No Chacho..!!" Manvi said innocently

meanwhile they reached the room. Cabir

made her stand on the floor.

"I beat these drums...!!" Cabir showed her

his Gaba's drum set and she touched the

drums excitedly.

"Your Mukti Maushi and Dhruv Chacho play

these guitars..!!" Cabir showed her their

guitars."And Alya Chachi play this Piano..!!"

Cabir showed her the piano and she smiled.

"And do you know what your Papa plays?"

Cabir asked and she nodded.

"My Papa is a lockstall(rockstar)..!! He

plays guital(guitar)..!! I know..!!" She said

smilingly and Cabir gave her an impressive

smile. She was as intelligent as Manik.

"Cabeel Chacho..!! Will you teach me how to

beat drums?" Manvi asked excitedly.

"Of course..!! Come..!!" Cabir said and made

her sit on his seat. But Manvi was too small

to reach the drums. He handed over her the

drum sticks but still she wasn't able to reach

them. She look sadly at Cabir. She was

disappointed. Cabir thought of something to

cheer her up and yes he got an idea. He

lifted her in his arms and he himself sat on

his seat with Manvi in his lap.

"Baby doll..!! Just hold my arms..!!" Cabir

instructed her and she noddingly held his

wrists. Cabir started beating the drums and

Manvi was enjoying to her full. Cabir was

cracking jokes and Manvi was laughing out

loud. Suddenly she saw a lizard on the wall

all her smile and excitement flew away with

in a second.

"Chacho..!!Lizaaald..!!(lizard)...!!"Manvi

shouted. She jumped of Cabir's lap and run

out of the room.

"Papa..!! Mama..!!" That's all she was

shouting and running in the corridors. Cabir

run behind her.
