At Night,

Manan and Arav came back in afternoon, Manik had some work so he went to office while Nandini continued her day off....,

Arav and Nandini were playing, she was teaching him Alphabets...,

Nandini: and That's V, so this is A, R, A, and V, so what's it...,

Arav: Alav...,

Nandini kisses his cheek..,

Nandini: Good Boy, now remember it, this are alphabet and their are totally 26 alphabets...,

Arav: otay Mumma, when daddy comes alu show him...,

Nandini: yes your dad will be proud of it, now come it's late, ninni time...,

Arav nods..,

Arav: but Mumma when daddy come...,

Nandini: Baccha even I'm missing you daddy but he had very important meeting, so he went and will come late night, so we have to sleep now come...,

Arav: Mumma loli sing...,

Nandini: As my Baby says...,

They lay on bed, Nandini sings a lullaby for him, Arav drifts in deep slumber, Nandini also sleeps...,

After some time,

Manik came into the room, it was not fully dark the light from outside and swimming pool reflection was coming, He saw Arav and Nandini sleeping and my smiles...,

Manik: My Babies, no matter how much stress I have but seeing these two I feel calm...,

He freshens up and gets comfortable in night wear or to be precise just in boxers, He tip toes, Kisses Arav's forehead and lays on the space beside Nandini and kisses her cheek...,

Manik: My Baby and My Babe, Good Night...,

He cuddles Nandini, she turns and kisses his cheek surprising him...,

Nandini: Good night...,

She smiles while he pecks her lips...,

Manik: you were awake Jaan, playing games with me by pretending to sleep...,

Nandini chuckles...,

Nandini: the way you banged the washroom door, even Arav's sleep would have been broken...,

Manik: Aree but I closed it slowly, I guess I should have been more careful, my bad sorry...,

Nandini: it's okay and you had dinner or should I heat the food and get...,

She tries to get up but he pulls her and kisses her forehead...,

Manik: I had dinner with the client and we cracked this deal too...,

Nandini: wow, congrats Mr. Manik Malhotra, looks like The Business Mam of the Year award will come in our house only...,

Manik: that goes without saying my baby..

He rubs his nose with her and bites her nose tip...,

Nandini: ouch, Monster...,

He laughs, she puts her head on his bare chest...,

Manik: it feels so good, everything is going perfect, My perfect life...,

Nandini: waise Manik, I, I have a question for you, I mean first promise me you won't be angry with me, it's just my curiosity...,

Manik raises his eyebrows and looks at Nandini...,

Manik: so there's something very weird cooking in my Mrs. Weirdo's mind, what is it...,

Nandini: no first you promise me na, please..,

She makes a cute pout, Manik pecks her lips...,

Manik: sorry Babe, but you know I don't promise anyone without knowing anything and it's you, The weirdest creature on this earth who's now coming with weirdest thought, so just bring it up as I'm very sleepy and you know na babe, I can't be angry on you....,

Nandini: okay so I was thinking, what if in the Mall incident, I mean the Blast in the Mall (Manik nods) what would have been you reaction, if I had died that day....

It was a pin drop silence, Manik was literally shocked by her statement, He was looking at her while she was worried by his silence, He stands from the bed...,

Nandini: Hey, Hey Monster, what happened, I know it was stupid question na, sorry I just had a thought and....,

Manik: enough, (sternly) let's sleep babe, I'm just sleepy right now...,

Nandini was surprised by his reaction, while Manik goes and lays on the other side of Arav...,

Nandini: Manik you sleep beside me, Arav kicks in sleep na and now this bed is according to Manik, the support on other side won't let Arav fall....,

Manik takes Arav in arms and kisses his forehead, He looks at Nandini without expressions...,

Manik: sleep Nandini, please...,

He speaks in dead serious tone, she quietly lays and looks at Manik making baby face....,

Nandini: sorry Na, I know you're controlling your angry, it's okay shout on me if you want but don't give me this slient treatment Manii...,

Manik glares her and closes her eyes, Nandini thought he fell asleep, she cuddles him and Arav and sleeps, but sleep was far away from Manik, Her words were continuously ringing in his mind, what if she had died, what if he head lost her, he remembers tha whole Mall incident...,

A lone tear escapes his eyes, He caresses her face....,

---------------------------------------------------------------

Next Day,

Nandini woke up hearing noise and saw none was there, she saw Manik and Arav coming from the washroom after taking the shower...,

Arav: Good Molning Mumma...,

Manik puts Arav in bed who runs and hugs Nandini and kisses her cheek..,

Nandini: Morning mera baby, you had a bath...,

Arav nods...,

Arav: Yes yes, daddy bathe Alu...,

She sees Manik grooming his hair, he was just in his towel the water droplets on his abs were making him look hotter and Nandini was drooling over him..,

Nandini: Good Morning Manik, Looking Hot Haan..,

Manik: Hmmm, Arav come baby let's see what my champ will wear today...,

He picks Arav and takes him to the wardrobe, ignoring Nandini royally, while she sighs...,

Nandini: looks like night's anger didn't go, Haan I'll make his favourite dish, Indian Poha, He loves it...,

She quickly takes a shower and hears Father - son laughing in the wardrobe still trying to select their clothes...,

Manik: Champ how's it...,

Arav: No daddy, not this one...,

Manik: okay Baccha, (He wears another Shirt) this...,

Arav acts thinking when he sees Nandini, she nods at him...,

Arav: yes daddy this one...

Manik sees Nandini and frowns...,

Manik: no baby, daddy don't like it...,

Nandini: Aru, Baccha tells daddy that he looks very cute in sky blue, that tuxedo will suit him a lot...,

Arav: Daddy Mumma said sky blue...,

Manik nods, Nandini smiles and takes her clothes and leaves....,

Arav: wow Mumma, poha...,

She sits on a chair and serves the Poha on a plate, Manik was glaring at her from tip to toe, she saw it...,

Nandini: I know I'm hot hubby, you don't need to stare me like that and this poha is you favourite na Manik and Arav's too, right Bachha...,

She takes Arav in her lap while Manik quietly eats...,

Arav: Mumma, yummy...,

Nandini: I know their are a lot of problems but I can't come today, I'm busy...,

Nandini cuts her a call, A Lady comes in...,

Lady: Hello Mr. Malhotra...,

Nandini: Manik she...,

Manik: She's Mrs. Riya Sharma, Arav's Nanny and from now onwards she will stay with us only to take care of Arav, 24/7....,

Nandini was surprised hearing it...,

Nandini: Manik you know na, you're supposed to tell me that beforehand...,

Manik ignored her again and looks at Riya...,

Manik: Riya, why don't you take Arav in Garden and try bonding with him...,

Riya goes to Arav and tries to pick him but Arav jerks her hand, He gets down and runs to Nandini....,

Arav: Mumma stalngel...,

He takes Arav to Riya...,

Arav: Hii (in low voice)..,

Manik: Baccha, Won't you show aunty our garden, please...,

Arav nods, Manik puts him on floor, Arav holds Riya's finger and takes her while Nandini was staring Manik...,

Nandini: can I get an explanation please Mr. Malhotra...,

Manik: we both are working individuals Nandini, this parenting is new to us but we can't be with Arav all the time, I listened clearly you had an important meeting but you were cancelling it, you're business is already in loss and even I have some important meeting, this Nanny Riya will be with Arav and takes care of his needs...

Nandini: I agree but you should've talked to me about this baba, how can I trust her for my son, I can't just leave my son with a stranger...,

Manik (sternly): our son, not only yours and I'm not as careless as you, to trust anyone easily, Riya is certified babysitter, she's trained for that and moreover she's an Indian who worked in one of my business associates house, she's perfect....,

Nandini: Haan but...,

Manik: no if's and but's Nandini, for god's sake behave sensible sometimes...,

Nandini: enough yaar Manik, I know you're angry for last night issue but doesn't mean you'll talk to me like this, you should have talked to me about hiring an nanny...,

Manik (chuckles): I was about to tell you but you were busy in your imagination, Imagining that how will I react thinking you dead, My wife, My life....,

He speaks with teary eyed while Nandini understood he's trying to hide his emotions...,

Nandini: Manik I didn't mean that baba, I know it's my mistake, Manik I understand...,

She holds his hand but he fumes and jerks her hand...,

He shouts making her startled...,

Manik: what shall I understand, last night when you said na that what will I do if you, you had (his voice cracks) died, you know what happened to me, I was blank, I was literally blank, I felt like someone pierced my heart multiple times and I, I remembered My, My (Stammers) Mom's dead body, I, I....,

Nandini was shocked to hearing him...,

Manik: I hate it when someone speaks about dying coz I saw my mo, mo, mom dead, in front of my eyes, that, that thing still haunts me and yesterday you were talking, no you were asking how would I feel when I see the dead body of my wife, who's my life....,

He speaks with red shot eyes while Nandini nods no....,

Nandini: Manik I'm sorry, I didn't knew it, I didn't wanna hurt you baba, please....,

She tries to hug him but he backs off...,

Manik: don't you dare to come near, how can you even think such thing Nandini, what if I go out and then you get to see is my dead boy, how will you react...,

Nandini (panicking): no please Manik (she cups his face) I, I can't even thinks like that not even in my worst nightmare....,

Manik: and you expect me to plan my future if you die...,

He moves back removing her hand, they hear Arav coming while chatting with Riya...,

Manik wipes his tears and sees Arav and Riya coming...,

Arav: daddy, Liya aunty vely good...,

Manik: That's like my baby, accha listen you know na daddy has work and even Mumma has to go to work (Arav nods) then when Mumma and daddy are not their, Riya Aunty will take care of you...,

Nandini: don't worry I'll explain arav and also Mrs. Sharma their work...,

Manik nods, He sees Mrs. Sharma...,

Manik: I'm trusting you for my son, don't you dare to disappoint me, He's Manik Malhotra's son remember that always...,

He speaks in the dangerous tone, while the lady gulps in fear and nods...,

Manik: I'll leave bye Baccha..,

He kisses Arav's forehead...,

Nandini thinks "He daily kisses my forehead before going, but I guess today I crossed the line, it's my mistake and todah Manik won't give me a forehead kiss...."...

Her thoughts were broken when Manik kissed her forehead lovingly...,

Nandini looked at him surprised, while his face was expressions less...,

Manik: Fight and anger aside, daily ritual aside...,

He turns and leaves while Nandini smiles...,

Nandini: My Monster, sorry Manik I triggered your past, but I'll try my best to make it up for you...,
