Narrator's P.O.V

Well Aryan, Cabir and Navya were waiting for Dolly to wake up..

But it seems like she is in no mood to get up..

They were waiting for her to get up but they heard a car honking through the gate.

Who was that..?

The bell of the mansion rang ..

Cabir went to open the door..

And their ...

Bhavan and Leena were standing with a content smile on their face like they never had before.

Obviously why wouldn't they cause finally the had some good time with each other.

Only being in a marriage isn't enough giving it proper time cherishing the memories is also needed.

They came in with a beautiful smile.

Bhavan: arre cabir bhai tum yaha... Arre navya bhi hai...

He said as he saw both of them..

Bhavan: mm who is this cabir...

Bhavan asked as he saw Aryan whom as a matter of fact no one knew except cabir and navya.

Cabir: mm chachu he is my cousin..

Leena:arre welcome beta have a seat why are you all standing...

Leena was about to say more when she saw dolly sleeping on the couch.

Leena: aare this idiot girl slept here only...

She tried to place her head properly on the cushion that's when she saw that Dolly has a dressing done on her head with red spot in the middle indicating that blood was oozing out.

Leena looked scared she tried to wake Dolly up but she didn't...

Leena: cabir kya hua hai dolly ko and this dressing on her head... Why isn't she waking up.... Speak up cabir i am talking to you..

Cabir narrated her everything...

Leena had tears in her eyes... Not because of something someone did but seeing that its always her daughter who ends up in such problems...

Leena was furious she was angry and why would she not be cause after all Dolly was on her track to recovery when she got another injury...

Aryan: I am really sorry aunty...

Everything was fine until Aryan apologized...

Leena: sorry... Ha what are you sorry for... For hurting my daughter or for the reason that you just joked with her because you didn't knew about what happened with her and now you are scared that something could go wrong with my daughter and you want to be on safe grounds... I am warning you stay the hell away from my daughter and yes you were sorry right ... Save it for later... Just pray my daughter doesn't has the same wrath i am feeling right now when she wakes up...!!

She took a long pause looking at Dolly.

Leena: cabir I don't mean to offend you cousin but he was wrong and i won't tolerate him and can you please help me to take Dolly back to her room.

Cabir: sure aunty..

Saying this Cabir carried Dolly to her room and made her sleep properly.

Leena: thank you Cabir. I can't even imagine what would have been the situation if you and Navya wouldn't have come to take a look on her . Thank you soo much beta.

Cabir: see aunty abhi beta bola aur next second thank you... Chachi she is my sister and I don't just say it for saying I really mean it. Aur wese bhi issne bahut aram kar liya seven months ke liye ab isse mein nai chodne wala...

And yes Cabir's statement made her laugh..

Leena: I need not to worry about her i guess... Wese beta i forgot to ask only kuch loge anything....

Cabir: nai aunty kuch bhi nai... We are full I will leave now since you are here and yes isko bolna ke phudak ti na rahe yaha waha... I will come to meet her tomorrow. Have a good night bye aunty.

Leena: bye beta.

Cabir came downstairs...

While cabir and leena were upstairs this is what happened downstairs in the hall.

Leena just bashed out.

Aryan was having a very guilty and a Sorry look on his face.

Navya was standing holding his arm beside him cause she knew his jolly nature which was usually mistaken being arrogant...

She knew he likes to joke around but here the situation turned put to be ugly.

Aryan: Uncle I am extremely sorry for all what happened I didn't do it intentionally...

Bhavan: ohh no worries little boy.. Its just that my daughter has been through a very rough phase recently and her mother is always worried about her today also on Dolly's insistence we went out and now she would be feeling guilty that she left her alone and all this happened so she lashed put on you... Not to worry I am sure next time when you come here she would be sorry for her behavior.

Bhavan patted Aryan's back and left from their.

Navya: see i told you chachu doesn't mind.. Its not that he doesn't loves her its just that he is a very sorted person and he knows that you didn't do it intentionally... So stop worrying and apologize to both Dolly and aunty when we are here next.

Aryan just nodded with a small smile..

They were on their way back home.

In Car.

Cabir: see Aryan I am not scolding you cause i know it was totally unintentional but you got to be careful and if in future you get along with her you really need to be careful cause you know Dolly is such a person that she wouldn't express. Even if she felt bad for something but she will dig your grave if you say something to any of her loved ones.. And in this case you need to be careful from me also cause on scratch on her and you are screwed. I am only leaving you cause you didn't do anything knowingly. Did you get that..?

Aryan: yes bhai and trust me I will not repeat this in my life ever again.

Cabir : good... Shukar mana tera Manik bhai  aur teri mukti di waha nai tha warna usne hi teri kabar khod deni thi ...

Aryan: what I mean apka I know the story but Manik bhai and Mukti di...

Navya: yeah Aryan cause you don't know her she is so sweet ,chubby and caring and cute that I don't like to go away from her when ever we meet and not only her Nandini also... This Murthy girl's are so damn precious to us that one scratch on them and we all can set the world on fire..

Aryan: ab toh milna hi pade ga unse..

Navya: ek ko toh tumne mil liya dusri se kal mil lens she is the prettiest and she is the best.

Cabir: yeah best toh hai hi nandu akhir The Manik Malhotra is head over heels for her she is so damn awesome...

They started telling Aryan all about their trip to manali and other times they had together...

Navya: such sweet,  cute Dolly is ... sometimes I just wish I want a daughter just like her.

Aryan: navya di apko bahut jaldi hai daughter ki asa lagta hai...

Cabir: Navya you know you just have to say I am already for that...

Navya: shut up Cabir. But yeah whenever it is i do want a daughter like her...

Cabir: I soo love you much Navya.

Saying this Cabir kissed her forehead.

Navya: and I love you more ..

Saying this Navya kissed Cabir's cheek...

Aryan: ohh both of you idiot people.. Stop with your PDA and Cabir bhai you better focus on road warna mujhe kabhi bache paida karne ka chance hi nai milega..

They all laughed and went to their home..

While this is what happened with Nandini..

Nandini called manik as she had already wrapped her project on which she was working with her friend and also from where manik had to pick her up.

Nandini: manik where are you its been fifteen minutes since I am waiting...

Manik: arrre baba i was stuck in traffic five more minutes pakka... I wikl be their...

Nandini: okay fine be here in five or else I am going home on my own bye.

And she slammed the phone..

Manik : isse kya hua... Why was she all worked up...

Manik drove for a while and he reached at the location she had sent him to pick her up.

Manik got out of the car and rang the door bell.

Nandini's friend: their you got ...aaya hoga tumara romeo...

Nandini: shut up sneha...

Sneha went and opened the door it was Manik.

Manik: hello... Mm I am Manik actually I am here to pick Nandini.

Sneha: what you are here to pick Nandini but woh toh adha ganta pehle hi nikal gai...

Manik: what kaha ja sakti hai aase abhi just 2 mins pehle hi toh i called her she said she was waiting for me here...

Till then Nandini came from back.

Nandini: stop scaring him Sneha..

Manik had a look of relief when he saw Nandini..

Manik: please don't pull such jokes on me again...

Sneha: huh.... It was just a joke... Anyways byee Nandini...

Sneha hugged Nandini and they bid bye to each other...

They sat in car and drove off.

Manik: mujhe tumari yeah dost bilkul pasand ni aaiye.

Nandini: chill manik she was just joking....

Nandini sounded all irritated...

She pushed the seat of the car backwards and rested her head. She placed her hands on her stomach and tried to sleep.

Manik: Nandini what happened you are behaving different... And why are you holding you stomach...

Nandini: nothing much Manik I am having severe cramps... And it sucks

Manik: you are on your periods...

Nandini just hmmed.

Manik stopped the car on the road side..

He asked her whether it was paining much. To which she replied saying its like always...

Manik gave her water to drink and also handed her a chocolate bar..

Manik kissed her forehead and started driving again..

Nandini adjusted the seat properly and holded manik's arm. She placed her head on manik's shoulder.

Manik: so what you want to eat...

Nandini: kuch bhi chalega....

Manik: okay...

Manik stopped by a good restaurant..

They went inside and ordered food having mushroom coriander and such thing cause such sort of vegetables help in reducing the cramps..

Nandini: manik why did you order everything with mushroom in it..

Manik: arre stupid nandu... See you are having cramps and such food can help you in reducing them so its good have them...

Nandini was just overwhelmed by this simple thought of him.. Like how can person be so caring. He exactly knows what I feel when. I can't find anyone like him. He is my soulmate.

To this answer of manik, nandini did nothing but just to smile and give a peck on manik's cheeks.

Manik just smiled at her.

They continued having their dinner talking about how did their day went and how was her preparation going on.

Nandini: wese Manik what do you think about engagement...?

Manik answered while munching his food...

Manik: kiske engagement..?

Nandini: ofcourse humari idiot..

Manik: ha toh socha na kya hai tum ha bolo abhi ke abhi kar leta hai engagement..

Nandini: manik stop joking na I am serious please.

Manik: okay okay fine.. What do you think.. What do you want...? Are you ready for this... I am toh like over excited to tell the world that you are mine and only mine...

Nandini: oohh Mr. Possessive much ...apply breaks...

Manik: but on a serious note I can't wait to tell everyone that you are mine.. But but that also doesn't means you have to think all this... If you are still not ready for this.....

Before manik could speak further Nandini spoke..

Nandini: I am ready manik make me your's....

Nandini said with slight tears in her eyes...

Manik: see nandini you don't have to do this until you are ready . I am ready to wait for you for the whole of my life..

Nandini was just feeling that how much lucky she was to have a partner like him.... Today indeed she had everything she has ever asked for she can't ask for anything more from the life. And she is happy about everything .

Nandini: Manik I am serious ..... And its not only you but also me who is curious to tell the world that you are mine atleast girls would not throw themselves on you...

Manik: you do know what your are getting yourself into right if we were in a room the situation would have been different...

Nandini: kashh we would have been in a room...

Manik choked on this answer of nandini....

Nandini: get used to this bold Nandini dear boy-friend .....!

Manik was literally amused...

Manik: Damn your mood swings nandu... You are surely gonna regret this when we will be alone...

Nandini: ready to regret Mr. Malhotra.

Saying this Nandini winked at Manik and focused on her eating.

While Manik just took a deep breath to control his overflowing feelings...

They both sat in the car and Manik drove off.

Manik parked the car inside Murthy mansion.

Manik: soo...

Manik said taking nandini in his arms and talking to her ...

Nandini: soo what....

Manik: ahhemm kon bold answers de raha tha abhi....

Nandini: haa toh kya only you can talk bold I can't...

Manik: haha you can always jaan...

Nandini blushed on hearing the word "Jaan"

Manik: come-on nandu its not the first time I have called you with this name..

To which Nandini just pecked his lips.

Manik: okay that was surprising... By th way are you really sure about the engagement... Should I talk to mom..

Again to this Nandini pecked his lips...

Manik: okay fine enough of this playing....

Manik pulled her closer and placed her lips on his...

Sucking the life out of them...

A kiss full of passion, love, promise and more of being their for each other..

They broke the kiss after a while...

They hugged each other...

Nandini: now that's what you call surprising...

Manik: well I would love giving you such suprises...

When they were talking Swayam parked his car and went past them saying...

Swayam: get a room guys.... Koi rook nahi raha hai tum loko ko... Byeee....

Manik: oyyy tu zayad na bol khud toh meri behen ke sath date pe jake aaye hai aur merko bolraha hai...

Swayam: whateverrrr.... have a good night love birds...

To which Nandini laughed....

Manik kissed her forehead...

Manik: keep smiling always.. I just love your smile...

Nandini: And you keep loving me the same....

Manik: always...

With more Kiss and sweet talks Manik bid her bye.

Manik entered.. They greeted everyone..

Manik: hello papa... Ap office nai gai..?

Everyone was present in the drawing room...

Swayam, nandini,  manik, rohan, bhavan,kala... And meanwhile dhruv and alya also joined them...

Dhruv - alya : hello everyone...

They greeted each other....

Just as they were talking leena came with a horrified look..

Leena : bhavan please just call the doctor i tried waking up guddu but she is not waking up....

Bhavan: what.... I am calling him don't worry....

Nandini ran upstairs and even everyone ran upstairs..

Bhavan called the doctor he came...

Nandini was standing in ths corner holding swayam's hand manik was standing beside them he had side hugged Nandini.

Doctor: no need to worry bhavan as I said yesterday she is on medicines and also due to panic attack she had yesterday all the sedatives affected her CNS due to which she is in deep sleep... Though to your relief I have given injection she will be up in hour but mind you if she feels sleepy let her sleep and make sure you give her this energy drink I am giving in such case if she doesn't eats then also it won't be a problem... Okay..

Leena had tears in her eyes..

Doctor being their family doctor and also being familiar with Dolly's case understood at once what leena and bhavan must be feeling...

Doctor: don't worry leena nothing has happened to her and neither is she in coma or any other danger its just due to the over dose of sedatives she got from her medicines and all things... Take care she will be up in and hour but I am telling you she may fall asleep again in half - hour or even 10 Minutes... And I suggest let her sleep so that the effect of sedatives can gp off quickly with any other medicine which can be problematic for her body and yes do make her drink the drink I have you... She will be fine soon don't worry... And I will take a leave...

Swayam went off to drop the doctor.

Everyone sat somewhere here and their in dolly's room only they were not at all ready to leave her...
