nandini' pov

wow! I got best businessman award again, do think i'm happy hell no...I know what i'm feeling, its not where I wanted to reach..its place where I never wanted be.. look here i'm at the place, where everyone wanted be..but I? I really didn't wanted to be here..its not the way I thought of..life is always unfair to me.. trust me, i'm used to it.. I don't think about my past..because I really don't want to get hurt...I walked down..and I must say Malhotra's face was worth watching, but it never matters me now..i really don't care what others think about me..because I know what people think about, a bitch, a opportunist, a middle class girl..a commoner..what not? I heard them for manik..but for him? leave it aside..i gave my ever fakest smile to my friends.. I walked to my kids..abhay and avni knew it..god! my kids..i glared my son..as I excused from media people..i hate this..its suffocating like hell...I really wanted to run away..i can't stay here any more..

na-abhay, what's this? before I say something..i was blindfolded from behind, who the hell is this..

vi-buddy, c'mon start walking...he said as he pushed me ahead..i can't yell at any because no one knows me what I wanted to be..i controlled my emotions..i can feel my tears evaporated by that black cloth..someone slid their hands in mine, it never takes me time, who it is, manik..he rubbed my hand with his thumb, please stop..i won't be able handle myself...please I beg u..u have given me hell reasons to cry upon, don't add further..i tried to lose my hand, but in vain..viren was guiding me, I was following like dumb..i could feel my kids around me..i was seated in car ..manik was beside me..he had avni , as I could here her voice..abhay must be in passenger seat of driving seat..viren was driving the car..many cars were following us..don't tell me they are taking me to party like always..please don't make me feel like hell..i don't want to cry buckets together, to get grip of myselves..

na-guyss, stop this, i'm really not in mood to do any party...I yelled, and it went directly to the deaf ears..why can't they leave me alone, why want they show me my failure, and ask me to party over my failure.. my heart was crying..it started its bleeding again..this been years ..I rested my head..let them enjoy my failure..let them..

I could feel hand above me, my mind wanted to jerk that hand, but my heart needed it..my tears were taken by the cloth..my life..huh! it hurts like..viren opened my side window..i rested my head on window panel..i could feel lump of mine..fresh air hit my face..trying to give me peace.. don't worry, nothing will give me peace..i could hear my kids and viren's voice..but I didn't heard any single word from manik's mouth..that's last I wanted now..

we finally reached, as viren pulled breaks, for where I don't know ? i'm really not interested to know also.. my son helped me to get down, I faked my smile...

ab-mom, chalo..he dragged me with him, carefully..i walked with him..i can do it for my kids, yes, I can..i wore my smile..i need to face the reality of my life..its what I had to chose for my kids..and their future.. I will never regret about it..but ..somethings u can never explain, how hurt u are?

I guess finally we reached as jeevika was removing my fold, I can hear gossips and gasp behind me..are we are at house? I opened my eyes, only to get proved..when my house became like bride..it was just as good as  I left from here..i gave look to my son, I knew him..

my friends and my kids yelled congrats to my ears..aiyyappa my ears..i closed them..as I glared all of them..

ab-mamma, see i'm also going to be good planner in future..he said proudly..i ruffled his hairs..

na-be what u want abhay..everyone aren't lucky to be what they want..i said my lines..which my life thought me..he hugged me ...

ab-yeah mamma, because my mamma will be there when she see me like the rockstar..I smiled, that is what he wanted to become, just like manik...I smiled , and promised myself that I will do anything to make my son as the rockstar..I hope my son gets what he deserves.. unlike me..

I looked around, whole Malhotra's , fab5 ,my friends, their parents, their kids , my employees and their family were there..finally I located my dad..he was just looking the house..and his eyes met mine..i tunred off my eyes..i really didn't wanted see any feeling in them..it remembers the promises he made for me..and it hurts..

je-cake of celebration is here babe' came ever chirpy jeevika's voice..i smiled at her smile..celebration..hmm..i accept it..cake was yummy..but I don't want this..i had tears at my corners of my eyes..i smiled with them..i took knife..turned to david,

na-david, I called him, he was the man, who loves my kids to core, he likes them..he is just like a brother to me..if i'm somewhere successful, he is also a big part of it..he looked after my kids..in my absence..he takes avni out, and avni loves his company a lot..

na- Stephen, I called my driver..he was another man  at the age of 50's, who took care of my kids, from years..he takes them everywhere, he buys hell lot of things to them..i really owe many people..he buys gift to my kids, as he doesn't have children..my kids being lovers of gifts, shower this man with love..he deserves them..

na-marry..i finally called the lady, who was there with me, she looks after my kids, like no one, it includes me..she lost her kids, she treats me like her daughter..

I smiled to all, if i'm here, its just because of them..and my friends..i held all the hands..with mine..this is not celebration of my success..it is celebration of being together..i cut the cake..my life changed in years..they accepted me, they never judged me like others..they accepted me the way i'm..if i'm living happily with my kids is just because of them..and I really owe my life to them..

I cut them feed my kids..avni fed me back..she kissed my cheeks, I smiled genuinely , my daughter knows how to make me smile..my other side of cheek was kissed by abhay..and I fed him , as I put some cream on his nose..he made exactly grumpy face like manik..he his son, after all..

ab-mom..he yelled me..

na-chila kyu rahe ho...I repeated his and manik's dialogue..he glared me..i smiled..as everyone fed me..i fed my friends..i had enough of the celebration, for hell sake we have flight to Mumbai tonight..the place where I lost everything..

na-guyss, i'm done for the day leave me..i wanted to be alone, that's all I want..

vi-yeah, don't worry we are leaving..otherwise we will be late for flight..god something good he done for me..i looked manik..he was just seating silently near the pool..he didn't moved an inch as I know, he is not gonna leave..i was in no mood, to talk to him either..i bide bye to david and his family, as he will be the one, who is going to look after the company on my behalf, I trust him..and yeah, he deserves it..avni bought gifts for him and his kids..she is kinda humble..she is sensitive..she is innocent..but she is not dumb..she is good for good people..otherwise..u must have been read..

I looked my son..he was seating next to manik..when he became this fond of him..i thought he hated him..aiyyappa, what's going..then my eyes fell on my dad..he walked near me..and said, which I never expected from him..

nd-i'm sorry nandini..he said..i can hear his chocking voice..i wanted him to stop, but my heart was beyond repair..it never cares for any..i'm done with many sorry's..

na-its okay, sir..i walked out..i really didn't wanted do that.. but I can't help either..i ran to my room..my place, where it seen my real side..i lashed the door, as I fell down..it hurts, it badly hurts..i never thought I will call him sir, and he only called for it..he doesn't want me to call him dad, he had me stranger long before..for him, i'm dead..yes, he is true i'm dead long back..long back..what fate I had..i stood up..i opened my door, walked to the last room of this floor, which is store room for others..but for me its place, where I locked my past..i opened the door..i coughed because of dust..i don't let anyone to come here..i have the keys with myself..i walked in as, I locked them..i could see dirt all over..i opened the cloth their stood majestic poster of mine and my family with manik beside me..manik hugged my mom from behind..my dad was kissing my cheeks in affection, how much lie it was..how much? I fell down.. all the fake promises, I can hear them..i closed my ears tightly..i couldn't..i was weak girl, I need someone to hold, but never to leave..i never thought they will leave me..but guess what, I was too dumb to believe them..look where i'm..kithna jot bol tumlogone mujse..kithna..are u happy, seeing me like this..i yelled..as it id sound proof room, no one can hear me..i can hear my own words echoing back..i palmed my face..as I cried loudly..i lost everything..i lost it..

manik's pov

I was silent all way, because I didn't know what to say or how to console nandini..she was acting all brave..putting her fakest smile...she could..she can hide her pain with her smile..i was just simply seeing her , she had changed in years..her life is changed..she is been strong, but she isn't..i saw nandini dad moving towards her..i walked near..all my family were having gossbumps seeing nandini's home..they never in wildest dream thought nandini would be like this in her future..she gave her answer not by words but by her action..abhay followed me, avni was biding bye to david and his family..i walked near them..when I heard dad...

nd-i'm sorry nandini..he bowed his head..he was guilty, for not fulfilling her dreams..next what nandini stopped everything around me..

na-its okay sir..she said in plain tone, she was hurt..she didn't called him dad..and dad was hurt in beyond words..nandini walked away..i realized that dad, was going to fell down..he was broken by the word sir, he never thought his princess will say something to him..he kneeled down,, as I and abhay ran to him..i sat to console him, I can't see him like this...abhay bought water..he was sensible..he didn't showed his anger, towards nandini's dad..who happends to be his grandfather..

nd-she hates me manik, she hates me..he yelled as he cried like baby, I never seen him crying..never.. I hugged him..he cried in my shoulder..

ma-no dad, she loves u..i'm saying to him or myself..i don't knew..

nd-no, manik, I failed my daughter..i failed my princess...he cried more..he palmed his face, and cried louder...abhay gave him water..he lightly jerked them..i nodded my head to abhay, he understood the situation, kept mum..avni was still busy with marry aunty..so, she didn't knew what's going on her, good for her..

ma-dad, stop crying..please..i was feeling helpless..i can't see him like that..he rubbed his tears..

nd-i need to leave..that's all he said..before I say anything..

nd-i'm not done with u nor with her...he said, I was shocked..he said he failed his daughter, but his words..threw stones stone at my heart..he is acting like a bipolar..he changed within seconds..he moved out as he settled down in car..i could only see fading image of the car..

ab-everyone are same..he said, I turned my head towards him..he was hurt beyond..but he covered up with anger..he turned towards me..he smiled sarcastically..he left from there..as he moved to main door..he ran from there..i couldn't do anything..to see how much i'm failing everyone..its my one act, paying hell by nandini and my kids..

my daughter walked me, she pulled my pant, as she cannot climb on my back..i sat down..i looked down..she rubbed my eyes, then only I realized I was in tears..i looked her..she kissed my eyes..and hang her hand around my neck, telling me to carry, I loved my daughter..she can make feel better..

av-chale..I nodded my head as I walked in, nandini and abhay were not in living room, that means both are in rooms..i walked to abhay's room..the room was open, I peeped in..there he sat with his guitar, looking nowhere..my heart pinched me..i settled next to him..he was playing sad tone..his face was blank.. I know that pain..he have been..i pulled him on my lap, as my daughter sat other side..avni ran out..

ma-baby..he looked me...I felt a huge disappointment in his eyes.. I have failed his expectation..

ma-i'm sorry abhay..I said..he smiled weakly and turned again..

ab-i hate u..he said as tears brimmed from his eyes..and I couldn't not say anything because avni was back with a bucket of ice cream in her hand..she put them in my hands as she sat otherside of my lap..i opened the box, only that can make him feel better..i dig my own hands instead of spoon, and forward my hand to him, he looked at me..and then my hand..he simply ate eye ice cream from my hands..i saw him licking ice cream from his hand, whenever I see him eating them..and I hope it will work..and it worked..as he rested his head on my chest..and he forwarded my hand to avni..she smiled and ate them..i feed my kids with my hands..and abhay was better now..i should look at his mom now..

av-abhay help me with my stuff..i can't do them..i looked at her, wow! my one kid have that habit..nandini gonna glare me for this also..and something strike my mind...nandini..oh! shit..i need look for her..as if reading my mind...

ab-where is mom? he asked avni, who gave negative answer to us..

ma-I will see her.....u both go and pack the bags , I made both of them stand..both moved out..i made my way to abhay's washroom.. cleaned my hands..i washed my face..i was about to leave room to see for nandini..but something stopped me..it was mirror in abhay's room..i felt something fishy..i walked up..what I saw was enough for me to take away my breath..i slowly touched mirror..it was moving slightly..i felt I can remove the mirror..i slowly pulled mirror front..next thing shocked me too core..

it was my portrait, which was behind the mirror..with bold letter engraved with MY ROCKSTAR..i felt to numb to react..i was flipping my eyes to confirm ,what i'm seeing..abhay have my pic in his room..that too behind the mirror..i was shocked and equally surprised..i touched my rockstar word, it was written so neatly by abhay..I could feel love for me in that..but I ruined by myself..i felt pang in my heart..he closed his love for me from entire world..why? why?

adjusting mirror properly, I walked out with heavy heart..i failed him so much, he is not showing me his love to me..i heavily took my steps near nandini's room..but she wasn't there..where is she? I searched whole villa but I couldn't figure out where she was..i dialed her no. but to my fate it was in her room only..i came out..i even peeped avni's room, she wasn't there..suddenly a fear of losing came to my heart..i started running in entire mansion as, the rooms were soundproof my kids didn't go to know about me searching for nandini..I closed my eyes in disappointment..all the negative thoughts run in my mind..i walked to the last room of the floor..i can feel her..i looked here and there..only to locate a room, which looked something like storeroom..i was about to see there..when the door opened by itself..i can see nandini..I felt unknown relief and I took breath, which I held..she was looking pale..her eyes were swollen..her face completely lost its charm..she was walking like life less body..i never seen her in this state in my entire place..not even when she left me..my legs weren't moving..i so wanted to run to her..but I couldn't..i couldn't..she entered her room..i so wanted to follow her but the door of the room stopped me..i walked inside..it was complete dark..i was coughing with dust..how nandini was inside the room..i finally searched the lights..it let up..i turned around only to see another frame, in which I was hugging mom and dad was kissing nandini's cheek..we all had best smile..i slowly traced nandini's smiling face..i never seen this smile in her face..her eyes held charm and shine..i traced her cheeks..as tears made it way..how beautiful life we had..and how I destroyed it..i looked dad, I say no one love nandini like he did not even me..but today everything is turned so ugly..he hates to see her also..i was about to move out, not able to control myself..i hit something from my leg..i looked down..it was a dairy..i hurriedly picked them..it was dairy of nandini..there were many dairies like that in that room..i slowly collected them all..i know its wrong..but for making something right, u need to do this ..I walked down, as I closed the door, not before seeing smiling nandini's face..i promised to myself that I will get her back soon..as my bag was in car..i hurriedly run down..i kept them in my office bag..this something no one touches without my permission..i walked back to nandini's room..my kids were nowhere to see , it means they were still in avni's room..i walked in to her room..i saw her, seating in balcony with folded legs near her knees..her eyes where staring looking nowhere..it stabbed my heart with knife..i walked to her, sat next to her..she was not aware of my presence...she was just looking sunset..and sarcastic smile appeared in her lips..as fresh tears made from my eyes..i placed my hand on her shoulder..pulled her on my lap..then only she recognized me..she gave look to me, showed how much I failed her..she turned her eyes..and trying to get up..i tightened my grip, she wasn't looking me..i really wanted her to into my eyes..i pulled her perfectly that her head landed its place..my heart..she tried but failed under my strength..feeling her try going waste she kept quiet..i folded my legs..as I pulled her more into me..i kneed her hairs, she just closed her eyes..she didn't uttered a word from morning to me, I didn't expected either.. she closed her eyes..she was tired from entire day..i kissed her eyes..one by one taking my own time..she was just keeping her hand around my waist..showing she had enough..we were busy in our world..and door barked with my kids..i rubbed my tears..but I didn't moved inch..avni sat beside me, abhay sat on nandini's lap, I mean I basically had nandini in my lap, and he was in her lap..that was an improvement..they didn't teased us..i looked them, avni rested her head..i kissed her hairs..she smiled ear to ear..giving all of us smile..she is smile of our family..

##

we all were in airport it was 11 pm.. nandini manager had done all arrangements for pihu's birthday as per her wish in our private jet..as being needed for that nandini and my kids will be leaving with me for india..this gave me, my breath back..and dad went to india, without saying anything to us...he just informed jeevika bhabhi and left london..and now, i was standing with my daughter in food counter, as she wanted to eat muffins..abhay was standing next to me, as nandini was busy with her last minute checking..

ma-so, pumpkin what u want? I asked her..and I regretted very next second..because madam ordered whole food court..i and abhay were seeing her as if we both saw ghost..

anything else mam, finally the boy gave all the stuff to avni, which she ordered, and he was breathing heavily, as my daughter make him toil like hell..i paid the bill..i and abhay were walking behind her, carrying all the stuff she ordered like her servants..and what next she did made me proud of her..

she started sharing the food with every family member..i smiled proudly..all gave amazed look to her, its very rare to see such maturity level in that small age..i looked abhay, I picked him..

ma-sachi batha, is she ur elder sister? I asked him..he looked me..

ab-voh!..no..she is younger to me..she is 5 minutes younger to me

ma-oh! par she acts more matured than u..i gave genuine thing..he gritted his teeth..

ab-because i'm like u..and she is kinda like mom in maturity level..super informal slap on my face..kya zarurath muje..huh! u need this type of treatment now and then..i glared him, he chuckled..as his hands went around mine..i saw avni giving muffins to younger clan, which every kid happily having it.. she walked with mrudula towards us..the reaction of abhay was epic...she glared him..he looked everywhere but us..i was smiling like a idiot..

mr-chachu..muje e open karke doge..she asked as she forwarded, her big bar chocolate..i took it from her..avni gave her muffins..which mrudula thanked in whole heart..mrudula is kinda girl, who basically reminds me nandini...her ever talkative nature..bubbliness..cute..adorable doll.. innocent..love to spread love..i love her..i unwrapped chocolate gave it to her..she broke them into piece gave it avni..and looked abhay..she glared him but still gave her smallest piece to him..considering all his behavior..

mr-khadus, kake kuch meetha bola kar..she said walked away..we , I mean me and avni were controlling not to laugh, but ended at one..that was moment..wow! I loved it..abhay was too numb to react..he showed baby face to me, to stop my laughter..i tried, but started laughing again with avni..

ab-urggg..stop warna...

ma/av-kadus..we said in union, I made him eat chocolate..he made grumpy face..he looked me, with puppy face..avni gave muffins and walked to david, who came to give us farewell with his family..

ab-mai, ethna kadus hu??..he asked as I sat on near by chair away from everyone..i made him sit on my lap..i made him eat muffins..as he was done with mrudula's chocolate..

ma-tum kadus nai ho, abhay..jaha tak mai tume jantha hu en 3 din mai..I got to know..u fear that someone will break u..darthe ho tum..tume patha hai abhay, I see myself within u.. I can see same fear in ur eyes, when I was in ur age..hum es liye bangaye the because humre halth ek jes hai.. my parents didn't had time for me.. I never got that love from my own parents.. I used fear that if my parents didn't had time for me, who has time for me..i stopped expecting from people..then nandini came everything changed..i started expecting from life..i got the love from nandini's parents, which I never got from my own parents..and jab bath tumri hai to..i'm at fault..because of me, u are pushed in the place, where I never wanted to see anyone..i know that pain.. I can never get back ur 10 years, but I promise I will be there for my son, whenever he needs me.. I will not make the mistake, which my parents did.. I will get back my son.. and huh! mrudula is nice girl..try to behave with her..if she cares for someone, she is really genuine .. and never let go any girl, who cares and love u so much without expectations like I did..never regret like I do..i said him, he was kneely listening to me, as I could see mist in his eyes..he hugged me..

ab-jabi mai galath kartha hu..tum rahoge na mera sath? u won't me leave me right? deko e karne wale hai tho batha dena..because I'm forgiving u little by little..i don't want to regret over it..he said sternly to me..i loved his rightness over me..

ma-peli bath, tum galathi nai karoge, because I know u..and dusri bath I won't leave my new version(eying him)..and yeah I will never leave my son..i kissed his hairs as he hide himself..nandini walked to us..she was confused but sat next to me..

ma-kya huwa? I asked her, as if she gonna answer me..she stayed mute..abhay rubbed her eyes..looked us..

ab-what's up mom? he was looking nandini and then me..

na-nothing..she rested her head..

na-i'm hungry...she finally said that...I chuckled at her..

ma-aur sir apko? I asked abhay..he bobbed negatively.. he sat next to me..basically I was b/w mom and son..avni came running..

ma-avni are u hungry? I asked her, she gave nodded no..so, without saying anything I took nandini's hand...started walking..nandini gave glare, she can't shout in front of my kids..so she kept mum..we both entered restaurant in airport..i quickly made her seat..i sat next to her..i called waiter and asked him, to bring nandini's fav. Mexican pasta..he returned..

she was just looking me..i filled spoon with pasta kept them near her lips..she didn't opened her mouth..

ma-jaanu..open ur mouth..i said sweetly like I used to do..she simply opened her mouth..i was waiting for her to speak..but she didn't uttered a word, she was done with her food..i was relief at last she ate something..i called waiter for making bill..but nandini stopped asked him to bring grilled chicken sandwich..i knew it..it was for me...

na-chup chap kalo..subhse kuch nai kaya tumne..cake bi nai..I smiled sadly as tears made my way..i looked away, she cares me still..she placed her hand on my hand..

ma-i'm sorry nandu..because of me u lost ur parents, ur passion..its just because of me..and I will never be able to forgive myself for that..i'm the reason u are here, where u never wanted to be..i failed u so badly that..i don't have face to show up any..i'm jerk..i'm bloody jerk.. I said as I looked her eyes..

she didn't uttered any word..as the order came , she started feeding me with her hands..i kept my head on our shoulder as tears made its way..she rubbed my tears as she feed me. I kept my eyes closed..all the past events of nandini feeding came to my mind..i so missed her..i really do.. no one cares for me, if i'm hungry or not..they never bother to ask me..my parents still don't have time for me..they don't have time to ask me, how i'm? I feel suffocated when I go to my parents house..its just place to me, nothing else.. I really miss mom's food..she is best cook..i miss dad, with whom I drink and got scold for same from nandini.. life is changed, but memories rested constant...I finished the sandwich..i looked her..she was about pay the bill..before she could do that I paid the bill and dragged her out..how dare she pay bills, when i'm here? she thinks i'm stranger to her..i glared at her, as she did the same..

vi-hey buddy..we both heard viren's voice..we both turned towards him, as our face softened..he was walking with his wife..she looked like perfect bride..

na-hey guys..she hugged viren followed by bhabi..and I did the same honor..

na-so, honeymoon finally..she said in teasing tone..which turned both into scarlet..my brother blushes like this I never knew ..

ma-someone pinch me, viren Malhotra is blushing...I said in tease, got perfect pinch from abhi..huh! that hurts man..

ma-e kya tha? I asked him in annoyance..

ab-u only asked for it..i gave glare to him..which he totally gave cold shoulder..

na-hogaya tum duno ka..she asked  us..we both gave nod..

both viren and jeevika bhabi are going to honeymoon in paris..they are leaving before us..so, we are here to sigh off them first and then we will make our way to india..all of us were teasing each other..its been since, I have pulled someone's leg..except abhay's..i mean he is not my age, what I ment..now the time as come to give nandini apartment papers..i can see whole atmosphere turned to tension..if nandini happens to see them..she will murder all of us..jeevika bhabi was holding viren's hand, as he was sweating badly like us..i was continuously rubbing my forehead and neck, because I was sweating in coldest climate of London..wow! manik..

vi-nandini, here u go with accommodation..that I promised to arrange..he stammered here and there..i had closed my eyes..because I can't offer to lose something golden opportunity in my life.. I really wanted nandini and my kids to be in front of me only.. I badly need them in my life..

na-oh! thanks viren..that's great favor actually...she said I closed my eyes I heard her next words out of fear..

na-and where we are staying? I can hear curiosity, which is not completely good for any of us..i can hear she was opening the papers from the covers..manik, abhi ki sari menath pani mai gaya..I was saying when I heard someone snatching the papers from nandini's hand..and it was my son..

ab-mom, ur manager was looking for u..he said as he glared us..did he knew about this? nandini gave confused look..she tried to read them..when abhay held them..he asked us to do something through eyes..

ma-nandini, avni is fighting with david..I said as I scanned airport..my daughter indirectly became a favor..oh! pumpkin love u darling..

na-aiyyappa..e ladki kab sudregi? she palmed her face..and papers were forgotten business..she ran to her daughter..

jee-that was on neck..she exclaimed as she breathed...same was our case..

vi-thanks abhay..he took a relief..if nandini happened to see them..he was going to be murdered first by her..and next will be abhi and definitely its me in last..

ab-thanks to avni..he too breathed as we both saw nandini calming her hyper daughter...who was actually fighting with David's daughter..huh! avni..bit what made me happy that my son was giving me chance..and he was willing to live with me..I was happy about it..

##

nandini's pov

we bid bye to newly wedded couple, it was time for our departure..my kids face immediately fell of..i knew the reason..they are truly attached this place were they are born..where they were bought up..they had life of  years in this country..i knew this place as big importance in my kids and my life.. it had given me everything, which I never thought I will get..i got two bff of life..people who cared for us..avni was bidding bye to each one..whom she loved the most..she was fighting with david's daughter as his daughter said he loves are more than avni..that truly upset avni..avni never likes someone ignoring her..she like to be in first propriety list..and she is same like manik in this case..i walked to her as I pulled my daughter..whose eyes turned to tears..i never like them..

na-baby , stop crying ..as I rubbed her eyes, I can see anyone crying but I hate if my daughter cries because she is cause for anyone's smile..she needs to smile to make others smile.. that's avni for me..

manik came forward with abhay in his arms..as he saw his pumpkin is crying in buckets..

ma-hey pumpkin ro kyu rahi ho? he asked her..she became puzzled..huh! her hindi..

ab-avni, why are u crying  doll? he asked like perfect brother as manik rubbed her tears with his free hand..she sniffed more..

av-i will miss all of them..she said as she gave look to david and his family, marry and Stephen..

ab-aww..that's it..c'mon then we will drop the idea of going to india..I know it will hurt him more..because I saw him saying to avni about his wish to visit in india for once..he never wishes or ask anything..but if he asks he needs them..but if avni doesn't want it..he will let go for her..and I have seen many times..i knew he said this word keeping stone on his wish..because for him, his sister's come first..i can see manik nature in this..manik' s first priority is always used to be mukthi, his sister..same was with my son..who loves avni more than sister..if u ask me he takes care her like his own daughter..

av-when did I say that? I'm going to india..that's final ..she yelled like me..bringing smile on both father and son's face..they smiled ear to ear..where manik kissed her cheeks..she finally smiled..i smiled seeing her smiling face..i love my daughter's smile..

ab-chalo, u bought so many gifts for them na..c'mon give them..he said..avni tears were forgotten business..she ran to her bag..pulled largest bag among them..yeah, she had bought some many gifts u can't believe.. even abhay joined her..manik stood next to me..he was admiring them..did he really changed? my mind said a big NO , to it..but my heart it said an YES..but for time being I chucked all thoughts and saw avni giving gifts to david and his family..we both walked further..

ab-this for u marry aunty..he handed over gift to her..he had personally saved money from his pocket money to gift her..he is independent..but he giving gifts to someone is really a big thing, whom knows about him..and marry was such lady, who gave enormous love to my son..he never mingles with people..if he does..i swear..he loves to them core..he keep them happy at any cost..and this nature is also gift of manik..apart manik's anger and appearance , abhay also had best qualities, which he got from manik..how much ever I yell at manik, for abhay's anger..at the end of the day, abhay had all the best qualities of manik..and I'm completely proud about it..

marry aunty had tears in her eyes..in entire her life..she never thought she will be one among them, who got gift from abhay..she knew what it means..she kissed his forehead blessed him for good future.. which he needs for his best future, like he wished..

avni gave gifts to marry aunty and Stephen uncle..both blessed her..they gave blessing for abhay also..it was time for our departure..

na-avni, baby chalo..I said as she was walking back to us with abhay..but her head was looking david only..she missed him..

she finally walked and crashed into my legs..she is truly attached to him..all were seeing us..i tried to break the hug, she didn't let me to do..

(he is david, if any case u need to imagine...real name-david beckham)

na-avni, say bye to david..I asked her..she looked back..she just ran to him..as he sat on his knees, tears were same in his eyes..he loved my daughter..she hug him tight..they stayed like that..as he rubbed her eyes..manik and abhay stood still.. I had tears.. i'm gonna miss beautiful person, who is just like my brother..

after like forever my daughter stopped crying as he gave her fav. muffins..which always lifts her mood..she smiled little..he walked to us..my daughter in his arms..i say my daughter is not that much attached to me also, she is too attached to him..she loves to share each and everything with him..and he is there for her..whenever she needs him..that's them..

da-take care of my prankstar..he said to all the three..he included manik also..we just nodded..

da-take care nancy..he said as he kissed my forehead like a brother..as tears made its way..i nodded with tears..as he gave avni to me..he rubbed her tears..

da-no tears avni..he said in stern tone in british accent..she tried to smile but couldn't come up with her best one..david started tickling her she started laughing..whole heartedly ..that's what we needed...

she kissed his cheek..bid a bye to him..we started walking, she was looking back still biding bye to david till he vanishes..i looked back as I saw three other important people of my life..i bid them bye..hope to see them soon..
