Few days later

It is aarav's second month and nandu was so so excited as manik shared veebha and aarav first month photos.... were they so cute...infact veebha even made an album with his picture from different moments with her...it was as if she knew how he will not be able to see her and so made this one....nandu never wished to hide any truth from aarav and got those photos printed in an album and kept safely for future use... she didn't wished aarav to miss anything so informed manik that they will do his every month birthday like all parents and that they all will twin for every birthday....manik was more than happy to accept as they were his lifelines....what more he need other than their happiness ?? Manik immediately called the best photographer who is his close friend from college....nandu choose comfortable wear for them all as she didn't wanted him to cry or feel itchy as children requires soft soft clothes and free size ones....they choose to do it in lawn as no one can see what's happening inside their lawn....

Manik was in a dilemma when nandu showed him those dresses as it showed mom,dad and baby....he didn't wanted to increase nandu hopes but can't even crash them completely as whatever she is asking is for their baby who is their lifeline...so manik was left with no option...

When aarav posed like that manan couldn't stop their laugh and photographer took that opportunity to take a candid one...

Nandu thought his size is medium but her love and care made him a bit chubby which ultimately showed his cute tummy....manik couldn't stop himself from poking that cute stomach and nandu used to always swat his hand away as he would feel pain...so he caught his hands as they are also so soft soft....

Imagine Aarav Manik Malhotra in that board

As he was fed up of all dresses and did his business...so had to bathe him again and put a new diaper..

As aarav baby is tired.....

Finally aarav slept so much but nandu couldn't stop herself from making him wear that as she searched entire mall for this proper dress that suits baby aarav....

Nandu was so busy in aarav shopping and making arrangements for photoshoot that she forgot about making manik realize and was not in contact with aarya....that is what a mother's love is....she forgets everything else when it comes to her child....manik is so happy that nandu is not dealing with aarya but is confused as why he is feeling happy when he is trying to get them both married....

Manik room

Manik is sitting in balcony and enjoying the breeze while aarav is sleeping in cradle and nandu is freshening up in her room....soon she entered with two cups of kheer as nandu made it for aarav's second month special....Manik smiled at her and took the cup...nandu settled down beside him and started to eat it quietly as she was lost in their moments few minutes back....both of them are thinking same thing actually but one is savouring each second and planning to be like this forever while the other is trying to remember as much as he could coz he knew once she is married these memories will be the only thing which will keep him sane...he knows that she is his anchor in wild storm yet he has no other option....sighing he started to eat while nandu is already done with her one and went to check on aarav who is so tired to woke up....by the time nandu is back he too finished his food and nandu went with bowls.....she came back with a bottle of water and saw manik doing something on laptop...she thought he is doing some work so placed the bottle on coffee table and slowly moved towards steps to stroll in her secret garden....manik thought nandu will sit beside him as he need to talk something with her but nandu didn't even informed him before going to their secret garden which is rare as nandu never goes there without manik or without informing him....he felt bad but nevertheless left behind her with lappy as he need to have a talk with her not before taking baby monitor with him and informing thai...

Secret garden

Nandu is strolling in rose garden and remembering her mothers how they used to chase her....

Flashback

That day manan had no school as it rained heavily previous night and roads were blocked....manik went to his basket ball practice with cabir while nandu , mukti were supposed to play in their play house...it was raining lightly and nandu got excited as she loves rains and immediately rushed outside while mukti backed her up with football to play with it....they started to play in rain !!

They were so lost in playing that they didn't noticed her parents standing behind them along with manik and cabir....swara wanted to stop them but nyo held her hand....suddenly nandu kicked the ball with full force and it hit manik who was exactly behind mukti....he was standing with umbrella in fresh clothes but as soon as muddy ball hit  his white tshirt and it got smudged with mud....

Manik(shouting with tears):Ammmaaa !!!!

Swara(sternly):nandu yeh kya kar rahi hai ?? Iss baarish mein koyi khelta hai kya ?? Chalo andhar !! Dekho kaise bigaada manik ka new shirt...

Nandu(pouting):please amma !!! I love to play in rain...pleasee !!!

Swara heaved a sigh and moved near her to take her inside but she immediately hid behind nyo...

Nyo:swaraa !!!!

Swara:yaar tu kyun usko support karti hai ?? Tujhe pata hain na ki kaise usko fever aa jaati hai jaldi...jaa yaar !!!

By now their umbrellas were neatly placed aside except manbir as manik dragged cabir with him to avoid further damage to his dress....swara turned away from everyone and showed how angry she is...everyone smiled at her antics...Vishnu took ball in his leg and slowly kicked it to touch her leg...swara looked down at ball and turned back with a glare to which vishnu shrugged and showed a thumbs down sign as if telling she can't play it...swara narrowed her eyes and tucked saree pallu in her waist indicating that she is ready....nyo grinned widely and repeated the process while raj and vishnu folded their sleeves....manik cringed at them while cabir too got excited but manik glared at him and he immediately turned down....swara and nyo shook hands and mukti joined them whereas nandu joined her fathers....

Swara:manuu !!! Bacha aaja !! Humare team mein khelo !!

Manik immediately rushed to her with a nod while cabir just gaped at him with shock but came out of it when nandu called him to their team....they all moved to football court and started their match...

They started the game but it didn't seem like match even for a second rather like enjoyment....they all played till they got tired and took a selfie as rain too stopped by that time...

flashback ends

Nandu came out of her reverie when she felt a hand wiping her tears....she looked at the source and hugged him....she didn't even realized that it was raining and manik recognised her tears even in rain....he hugged her tight and swinged a little with her while kissing her tightly on head !! They stayed like that while rain which was heavy drizzled slightly as if blessing them....

How many missed this one ?? Do tell your views !!
