"Ahem... So..." Nandini starts as Navya and Aliya looked at the sullen face Mukti

"You don't want to marry Abhi?" she asks and Mukti looks up from the noddles she was festing on

"What do you think?" Mukti said

"Am I mad! Kal ko mere bacche mujhse puchenge Mom how did Dad proposed you? Toh main kya bolongi? he proposed me after sex in my bed causally!" (Tomorrow my kids will ask me Mom how did Dad proposed you? Then what will I say?) Mukti bellowed

Navya bit back a laugh and Aliya looked around at people and then at livid Mukti

"Ok I get it..." Nandini said looking at angry Mukti. Aliya went close to Nandini and said "Say something to her..."

"You want my babies to be born deaf?" Nandini whispered and Aliya backed off. She had a point

Nandini sipped on her strawberry and ice cream shake and looked around the restaurant they were sitting in. It was a high end resturants on a top floor with glass walls all around it. They were sitting on the coner table which had view of the city. Mukti was sitting with her back to her glass walls.

Nandini looked behind Mukti and widen her eyes.

"Itna na mujhe by God kisi ne nahi dudaya hai!" (No one has the guts to make me do this) Manik said huffing and looked at Cabir

Cabir was looking down and with a terrified at Manik and gulped again.

"Salle kyu bana main tera dost. Tere Bhai ke chakkar mein mujhe chakkar aane lag jayega" (Manik why did I become you friend? I am going get domed in your brothers plan) Cabir said and Druv just rolled his eyes

"It's for Mukti too" Druv said

"Isliye kar raha hu" (That's the reason I am doing this) Cabir mumbled and left hitting Abhi on his back

"Kutta!" (Dog) Abhi yelled

"Aur tu kon madar...." (And who are you mother...)

"Aye no gali" (No cursing) Manik cuty him of and Abhi, Cabir and Druv looked at him as if saying 'Look who is talking'

"Let's get over with it" Manik said getting their expression.

"Hello! I am going to propose here. You better not get over with it without a grace" Abhi yelled walking behind him

"Kabhi kabhi mujhe lagta hai Mukti pagal hai jo iss ke pyar mein padi" (I sometimes feel Mukti is mad she fell for him) Druv said

"Woh pagal, yeh pagal, perfect match!" (Mukti is mad, he is mad, perfect match!) Cabir said and Druv and him followed them.

They all stood at the edge of the building. Cabir and Manik looked at each other

They checked the cables and slowly crawled down

"Mission impossible wala feel aa raha hai" Druv said excitedly

"Manyu do do babies hone wale hai mere..." Manik said and looked down. He was almost 25 floors up

"Manu chup baith yaar... Teri hi best friend ko propose kar raha hu" Abhi chided on him

"Toh ehsan kar raha hai hum pe?" Cabir chided

"Guys" Druv said and gestured to Nandini who was looking at them wide eyes. Everyone waved at her with smile.

Before Nandini could react Abhi knocked at the glass.

Mukti turned and Navya and Aliya also looked at them

"What the hell!"

"Manik!"

"Abhi!"

"Kya kar rahe hai yeh!"

Aliya, Nandini, Mukti and Navya said getting up

Abhi gestured to the boys. The boys removed cloth placards respectively while hanging through the cables and held it out in their hands

"Mukti me marry?" Nandini frowned reading the playcards

Seeing the girls expressions Abhi looked at the boys. And started to chide on them

Hanging on that height Manik and Abhimanyu started arguing who was the biggest idiot

By now people in the hotel had gathered seeing them.

Finally, Manik and Druv exchanged their palycards and Aliya read this time "Marry me Mukti!" Mukti looked at the guys and then turned to Abhi who was hanging there holding a beutiful sapphire ring.

The crowd started hooting, some even recorded the moment

"Aww!" Aliya said and looked at Abhi.

Mukti was speechless, she was staring at Abhi when there was again a knock on the glass she turned to see Cabir holding his phone flashing 'Jaldi bol, yaha halat kharb hai' (Say yes, I am dying here) on his led reader

Mukti laughed and looked at Abhi nodding a yes. A beutiful smile adored Abhi's face and again Cabir knocked the glass flashing 'Ring woh tujhe niche pehnayega' (He make you wear the ring down stairs) on his phone

Mukti ran to the elevator and Nandini blew a flying kiss to Abhi and all the girls followed her.

The guys slid down with the help of cables.

When Mukti with the girls got down the whole areana was decorated with blue and white balloons, unlike the way it was they went upstairs.

She saw Abhi walking to her with the ring in his hand and a big poster behind saying 'She said Yes!'

Mukti ran to Abhi with tears in her eyes and as he reached to her Abhi kneeled in front of her. She held out her hand and Abhi made her wear the ring

"I love you. Please marry me" he said and Mukti just hugged him crying in joy

"Stupid I got so scared! Main ne propose karne bola tha, Khatron ke Khiladi khelne nahi" she said making him laugh

He removed another ring box and showed her the ring for him

Mukti took the ring and made him wear it. They heard people hoot and looked around their friends and Abhi's parents with Neyonika standing there cheering for them.

3 months later....

"Nandini... Yeh le..." Cabir said giving her the briyani she was craving for

"Thank you Cabir... I love you the most in this whole world" Nandini said and started to eat.

"Ek second... Phir se bolo" Cabir said and sleekily recorded her say again "I love you the most in this whole world... Tum mere sabse favourite ho and no doubt my babies will also love you the most kyuki tum inhe sabse jayda pyar karte ho... Inhe sab se jayda time dete ho aur inhe jo chahiye woh kahne dete ho Bina muh banaye aur bina conplain kare" Cabir smirked and sent the voice note to a certain someone and looked up to see Nandini eat her food.

Suddenly she stopped and tears rolled down her cheek "Nahi Cabir I love Manik the most and even my babies. Phir kya hua if he doesn't gives me time like he promised he will or he does not love me anymore because I have become round like a burger which he said he won't do... But still... Even he makes face at my craving and does not let me eat few things from outside I love him only" she said and wiped her tears and eat her food.

Across from her Mukti and Druv looked at her with sad eyes and then glared at Cabir as if he was responsible for all this. Cabir himself now felt bad.

"Nandini how is the briyani... This dufos didn't even served us" Druv said trying to cheer her up.

"Haan na Cabir aab tu Aisa karega humare saath!" Mukti said and Nandini looked up giggling

"Arey nahi nahi you guys also eat" Cabir said

"Haan toh hume tere permission ki jarurat nahi hai" Druv said

"Accha Nandu tell me you like my lehnga?" Mukti asked and that work. Nandini started to talk about their wedding preparations. Though the wedding was almost after more six months but they were planning to do a formal engagement in next month. Finally the three were happy as they could cheer her up.

Neyonika helped Myra sit on her bed as she had taken her for a stroll outside on a wheelchair.

"Good progress Myra." The doctor said

"Your speech has improved and almost back to normal" the doctor said making both the mother daughter smile.

"Next week she we will start on advance physiotherapy" he informed and left

Neyonika started to pack her things at the doctor had said they will be giving her discharge by tomorrow.

"Mom" Myra called taking her attention

"He is standing outside. You go" Myra said and Neyonika's moments stop. She looked at Myra. A bit scared a bit guilty

"Mom" Myra said seeing her expression

"You don't have to. Nor he has to. I love you. But I can't forgive him. Yo chose to give him chance and I don't. But that doesn't mean I will take a grudge on you. We can all see how much he loves you, how much you love him. He is making an efforts. Infact total efforts. And you have all right to be happy." She said and then continued "And I, also Bhai want you happy. I can't accept him as my Dad but I can accept him as your father. He is your husband. Your life partner. Tomorrow we all we get busy in our lives and nor me or Bhai will want you to be lonely for us. We are not that selfish." she said with a smile

Neyonika looked at her with tears in her eyes. What did she do to have such children

"Now go. I will vaise bhi sleep now" Myra said with a smile.

Manik rang the bell and waited for someone to open the door. Navya opened the door and saw him huffing

"Nandini" Manik said. He was clearly pissed

"Ummm... Woh so rahi hai..." Navya answered. She knew Manik wasn't pissed on her but the situation. Last one month he wasn't able to give Nandini time because of work. And that was making him pissed on himself. Also for more she knew what Cabir sent him today.

Manik got in and walked to his room in Cabir's house. On the way he saw Cabir in kitchen and yelled "Fuck you Cabir! You are the person I hate the most in this whole world!" and stromed to the room.

Cabir stood there wide eyes and then made a bad face and mimicked Manik and added "I hate you too..."
___________________________________________

Nandini who was sleeping woke up hearing someone shout. And before she can think of anything else the door opend with a bang.

Manik saw her and she saw Manik

"Get up... We are leaving" he said coldly and turned to walk out when he heard a sniff. He closed his eyes in pain and then turned again to her

"Get up Nandini! I won't say it again" he said sternly and Nandini got up slowly and started walking to him slowly.

Manik stared at her. She had put on weight and got chubby which made her look more adorable to him. The baby bump was very big. Manik could she her legs were swollen and her walked had changed. She would walk slow and with caution because of the bump. Nandini saw him looking at her and cringed. She felt he was not liking her burger self. She timdly walked passed him. As she walked few steps away she felt him put a hand around her shoulder and holding her left hand in his left hand and walk with her.

"We are leaving" Manik announced

"But Cabir is making..." Aliya stopped as she saw Manik glare and meeked out "You favruoite chicken and bhakri"

Manik was so much tempted to stop but hell he was going to do that. He glared at Cabir sharply but Cabir just carried on cooking not being bothered. Manik turned to see Nandini's eyes twinkle. His kids were going to be non veg hogger

"Tumhe khana hai?" Manik asked softly with so much love that Aliya, Mukti and Navya went awww. He was moments before sleething in anger.

"Tumhe khana hai?" She asked instead and his all frustration melted in a snap. She still cared for him. Even after this tortured month she cared for him, his choices. What did he do to deserve her?

"Kha ke jate hai" he said and she beemed. He was able to make her happy. That was all he could think. And that brought a smile on his face too.

"Haan Nandu. You seat. I have to show Manik something" Cabir said and held Manik's arm

"Come I got this new set of drum..." he said taking Manik to his music room

Manik shoved his hand away as soon as they were inside. Cabir rolled his eyes and got his phone out and showed him the video of Nandini he took while she was saying how she loves Manik most in the morning.

Tears beemed in his eyes and Manik started crying "Cabir, how am I going to do this. I can't handle a pregnant Nandini. How will I handle her after the pregnancy? How I handle two babies? I am going to be worst father and husband!" Manik said slumping down.

Cabir went and sat besides him and said "Tu pagal hai" Cabir said and looked behind Manik turned to see Druv there

"Buddy" Druv said and sat besides him saying "You are going to be perfect. Bas khud ko kosna chod de and start sharing with Nandini what you feel. Tu sab apne andar rakhega toh kaise chalega? You know what is it about you and Nandini tum dono ek dusre mein sukoon pate ho. Then why are you not sharing what you feel with her haan? Because she is pregnant? Par this is hurting her more Manik. She feels you are changing because of her pregnancy. Aisa mat hone de. Woh tensed hai. Aur woh bol nahi rehi kyuki she thinks you are worried about work right now. Which is true. Uss ne try bhi kiya but tu usse protect karne ke chakkar mein usse dur kar raha hai."

"Yaad hai tune kaha tha Nandini said ki she won't feel bad if you get your time. She is not feeling bad for getting your time she is feeling bad because tu uss ko dur kar raha Manik unknowingly" Cabir said

"Abhi is also worried Manik. In his wedding prep he can see this. Isliye he kept his wedding date after three months after Nandini's delivery because he doesn't want to pressure you more" Druv said

"So aab aasu poch, tere liye chicken banaya hai main ne Tera favourite" Cabir said and Manik wiped his tears and nodded like a child

"Chal aab" Druv said and they walked out to see the girls were laughing on something.

Manik went and sat besides Nandini. She looked at him and saw his red eyes. She asked him What with his eyes he just leaned and kissed her forehead. "Ghar Jake bata hu" he said making her smile.
