Manik's Pov

That was what I wanted to happen.. Her Smile..She gave her best smile with her teary eyes as I kissed them one by one for her..With all my love..

Thanku Manii..She said as she side hugged me..I smiled giving her side hug..Where she was actually reading one letter..Which gave her, all her happiness back, which she dreamed to have..

Flashback

Cake was kept on table..As I was waiting her to end call with my kids, it was viren, jeevika, David, Stephen and Merry..Who were on video conference call, who were wishing her birthday wishes..She looks quiet excited today, that made me feel happy..I took away all her happiness, now it's my time to give back whatever she deserves..

All three looked so happy, talking to david..he has big place in my kids heart, i'm really thank full to him, for taking care of them.. maybe even i can't keep them that happy and secure like him..when i have already proved myself a worst father, i can't expect to be best, i know, i won't be able to get that best place in their heart..i'm worst and i will be worst..i smiled sadly seeing them happy..at least someone was there for them, if not me.. i turned to ocean side to compose myself, this is what, i was thinking that time, when i was sitting with nandini..i was thinking, whether i was able to give them that happiness, which they deserve..and nandini's words still ringing in my ears, they aren't helping me either..was my love looked so fake to her, where i lacked in my love, i still don't know..my love wasn't that strong enough to hold her..my assurance and care was't enough to prove myself..maybe because i lacked by love from childhood, so i don't know what's love or to show..maybe..i wiped my tears as i walked little away to give them happiness, which maybe i won't be able to give them..

Abhay and Avni helped me throughout the arrangements.. Especially abhay..Where Avni selected her's and her Mamma's attire..Where she made me buy both of them same type of outfits, it was  like tradition it seems, which my daughter is following from years together on nandini's birthday..I couldn't say no to her..Where as my son was no less, he had already ordered matching attire for both of us..And he made me to pay for it too.. I'm enjoy my childhood with them, i want full fill each wish of theirs..i want give them all love of mine..but the thing is still haunting, whether i will be good father..i don't think so..As I already proved myself, and answer is big NO...

i sat silently seeing them..there was never ending smile on avni's face, abhay looked so happy..and nandini, she was ranting all the things to him, about what she did in india..they had good rapo..i smiled seeing there good bond..

suddenly my phone buzzed..i pulled out my phone, smiled seeing the caller..

finally,yaad agaya hu mai, tume..haina na?? i asked her, checking my voice..it wasn't that bad..u see, i can maintain my pitch in better way, however vulnerable i'm..

manii..when some receive call na..kohi hello wanra hi boltha hai..smaja? she said faking her anger..i smiled listening to her..

woh, kya haina manners ki bath math kar, i lack at them..i said to her..where i can imagine she will be nodding her head in disbelief ..and also will be finding some wall to bang..

manii, sudar ja..abhi bhi wakth hai..never ending lectures of her..won't stop..

waise ethna rath ko..what's up smitha? i asked her..and reality would have hit her head..it usually happens with her..where she forgets whole topic and talk non sense, which never made sense to me..And I need to remember her, what she wants tell..Things never going to change between us..

oh! ya..i was checking in airport..tume bathne phone kiya maine..aur please vishwas ko yaad dila do..warna idiot bol jayega..that he has wife too, who he needs to receive..she said, i rolled my eyes..even she know, vishwas isn't irresponsible but he can't make it up for her some times..because he is workholic too..but he make sure, i'm there with her, whenever she needs him..And I'm happy to have both of them in my life..

oh! really..i said, where she bit her tongue..making sorry face, as she is complaining about vishwas to me..which i can't take it.. never..

sorry..baba..please make sure, u remind him..es halath mai tho, i can't walk around..u know na..please maniiii...girls have their own weapon to melt boys heart, don't they?

fine..kab thak punchoge? i will make sure vishwas will be there on time..and this time no bahana..i promise..I assured her..She trust me enough, to tell anything.. That's her..

thanku thanku muno..subha 5 baje thak puncha hungi..she shouted in happiness..making me smile..she is girl, who gave hope to my hopeless life, i owe my entire life to her..if Manik Malhotra standing somewhere breathing, its just because of her..

anything for u cherry..i said..she would be smiling hearing her nick name..

miss u manik...she said..i really missed her, as she was in delhi from past two weeks..all thanks to vishwas's family, who wanted her there..even vishwas, but he was one work holic, who didn't wanted holiday to meet his family as i went to london, even though i suggested him to go but he didn't budged a bit..As I was really not interested to go London but to Delhi..as she needed me there more, that time for me..

miss u cherry..i said as i turned only to see angry nandini, only smoke was less..what happened to her, she was all smiling minutes back..ab maine kya kiya?? Did I made any mistake by chance or she is ready with her complains..Manik Malhotra be ready..Bohuth Kush thana..Ab bugtho..

Bye Muno..Need to leave..I will call, when I will reach there..Till then miss me..Love u bye..

Bye..I managed to say..Where I was gulping in fear..As Nandini heard each word.. Mainly LOVE U..

Cherry..who the hell is she?? Cherry..

I so wanted to laugh on her possessiveness..God c'mon, I think she can't be more cute..She proves exactly opposite and more than Avni some times..and here I was fearing of her anger about other matters..I sighed as I was enjoying her possessiveness, it's always treat to watch, when she is jealous..She doesn't like someone taking her place and she proved me badly with her kids also, as I thought they were excluded..But not even they were in list..

Nandini Murthy..Shanth..Its cherry..Vishwas's wife..i call her cherry..She is more or less like mukthi to me..And very good friend of mine..She is coming tomorrow from Delhi..So, I think u don't have to be jealous about her..I said holding her shoulders, where she heard them like cute obident student..She can't get more cuter..And that taira was adding its beauty upon her..Avni made me look for thousands sites just to chose one..

I'm not jealous..Same old dialogue..

Fine then..I was about to move knowing her next move very well..Where I was banged to her as she turned me towards her..As she encircled her hands around my neck by tip toeing..She pressed her soft lips..Which had my fav. Lip gloss of lavender..

I smoothly licked her mouth..Where I was holding her by wasit..Nandini has this habit to tell herself that I was only her's..Its not that she won't trust me..Its just she won't trust girls around me..Who always fall upon me, to get my attention..She knows how to shoo the girls, who her around me, with pda..And same things go with me on her..its a thing to make others jealous of us..u see..

Ahem..Ahem..I so knew it, he would come..He knows to spoil moment..As Nandini broke kiss as she herself engulfed in my embrace due to shyness..As I gave look to my both kids, one was giggling and other was smirking..

What's up guys?? His tone had huge weight of teasing..Huh! I need place to hid myself from this boy..

Nothing much..I said he to giggled as I lifted Nandini in my arms, as I walked near cake..Followed by Abhay and Avni..I put her down..I signalled her to blow the cake..where avni was in my arms again and abhay was next to his mamma..

make a wish mamma...it was avni, she was equally excited like nandini..what's so special in birthday's i don't know..in my life i just celebrated once, that because of nandini's nagging, warna birthday's aren't nothing but just a day, which is by mistake to me..and for many people also.. I'm just a..forget it..I can't tell also..

nandini was smiling like always while making a wish, birthday's are always have special place in her life..she used get gifts from dad and me, for whole week..it used be best weeks for her..he used take holidays just to celebrate her birthday with great happiness, she was fortune to their home..she was blessing to her parents unlike mine..i used just help them, as dad used say..when will nandini be my responsibility that day, i can celebrate her birthday..until then he wanted celebrate her birthday..she was princess on her birthday..

i smiled seeing same excitement in her eyes..she was kid by heart, still same NANDINI MURTHY...who awaits her birthday like same..she held abhay's hand, who readily gave in..After all he wants to eat cake, from the time he has see them..A foodie, he is..and she held avni's hand, where Avni pulled my hand along her..I smiled at her gesture..As she cut the cake..First she fed kids then they returned same favor..She turned to me..She smiled broadly as I fed her cake..

Happy birthday..She smiled as she fed me back..

Mera gift?? She showed her hands to me with all excitement..Asking gift from me..But I gave what are u talking look..

What gift?? I asked looking her and kids..Where Nandini pouted grumpily..I was too innocent kid of world, at the moment..

Arey mamma leave him.. I will give u gift.. Avni ran to her room side, God knows what's her gift, she didn't let me touch gift wrapper also..Same goes with abhay, we didn't had option but just to follow Avni Mam's rule..

She came back running all way.. with her purple wrapped rectangular box..I was thinking what and all, she must have kept inside..Where nandini glared me for not giving her any gift..I rolled my eyes as she took gift from avni's hand..Where even Abhay stood curious next to me..Where Avni all way smiling..

Nandini walked to near by couch, she settle down comfortably on them, where Avni on her lap..I stood infront of them, even I wanted know what it was..Being gift lover, Nandini literally tore beautiful wrappers..I guess it was frame or show piece..

Nandini glee in happiness seeing frame like thing.. Avni was curious to know about nandini's reaction, seeing Nandini's smile she sighed in happiness..Abhay smiled fullest seeing them.. What's making them so happy..

This precious gift, I could ever get,Avni, I loved it.. Nandini kissed her cheeks..Avni smiled seeing Nandini's happiness..

Its beautiful mishti..He said, now I was more curious to know..

What's beautiful?? I asked..Where all three held frame towards my side..I saw nandini's happy tears, before turning to frame..

I was all numb seeing myself in frame..Which was sketched by my daughter as gift to my girl..Will anyone can measure my feelings.. I guess u can't..its something, which made me smile in real as I sat on my knees..It was not gift for jaanu..But for me..my real smile...

Ur smile...They said in unison, as they pounced on me..I couldn't help but smile more with tears..I can't ask for more..It was our First Family hug..I can never forget this moment in my entire life..I felt, yes I have reason to live.. with them..

I never knew Avni can do my sketch  so beautifully..I never knew my smile was that good..Nandini was always reason of smile..I used smile, Whenever she is happy..My soul happiness is her..After she left me, I never smiled..I didn't had anyone in our home to make me happy..I never went out, as i feared about world..I was hiding behind bed all scared of real life and my reality, as no one was there to pull me out..I had become coward, I didn't became but people made me like that..I had been strong for years, when things got too nasty out of my hand..Where I lost everything..I started losing myself..Such an extent, that I ended up myself, where I feel not even my enemies don't end up..Its really dark.. Wherever u go, u just end up in darkness.. Trying to be strong, all I became was fake..My whole life was fake..i created an imaginary world of mine, where everything was big lie, where i didn't let anyone enter that world..My smile became materialistic..My smile never got importance..In fact I was no important to anyone.. I was last choice to everyone's life..I'm not anyone's priority since from my childhood..It was mere sympathy everyone had on me.. That's what I hated most..The sympathy, but I needed love, which I never got..that sympathy killed thousands of feeling of mine..i felt i would have died rather than living..i felt worse..i felt hatred for myself..i felt suffocated..the guilt carried was infinity..it never let me in peace..and i ended in darkness..where no one can reach me..

And life took U turn, when mrudula entered my life, bringing a ray of small light in my life..I started mingling with her..Her company had bring out me from loneliness for a good extent..In way of making her happy and giving her love..I started changing myself..She was next to nandini, who used make me laugh, by her pranks, even in my worst, where no one couldn't lift me, where no people had face to show me and some never bothered, she was right next to me, until I recovered a biggest traumas of own life..Life changed for better..She is only girl, who knows entire truth of my life..But still she didn't let my side saying u never let me down..And I won't let u down..And there was no turning back..If Manik Malhotra standing all good yet again with his all glory that is only because of four people..Who I owe my every breath, who showed me yes good people still exist in this cruel world..My mom, Mrudula, Smitha and Vishwas are the people, who made me come back..Getting back to my shoes, wasn't joke to me..But they made it, yes they made it..Saying that one day I will have reason to live..I started living again and without Nandini it wasn't easy, she had become my soul..And no one forget their soul, right..Trying to find her in every part of world ,my journey started and where I changed myself..Where my thoughts about life changed..Where I found new MANIK..Whom u can even imagine..

##

it was turn of abhay, who was royally sitting but his face didn't depicted same just like me..i was equally nervous like him..but we both covered up well..he was rubbing his nape just like me..

i'm scared..kahi dartt tho nae degi na? same question was revolving around my mind..

i don't know..i said as both daughter and mamma, where seeing the night ocean view..after huge emotional moment, we all were relaxing, sorry only girls, but we were scared as today, happening equally gives both happiness and reminder of pain..though hurt is temporary for today, because from tomorrow and some day everything will be alright.. fearing for one pain, we can't let go happiness, which is waiting ahead to greet us..right?

but we are doing good..but why are fearing? he asked holding letter in his hand..which i got for nandini..taking permission from both kids..they both were happy and said immediate yes to me..trust my kids are gems, in every manner..which i don't deserve, any bit..

because we are fearing to see tears and pain in her eyes again..if something goes wrong, is what we all thinking..i said, he bobbed his head..

can't life be little less complicated? he asked opening both letters..and then me..

feelings are mutual..i said..we looked each other sighed seeing girls..

tum dono ka kusur pusur hogai kya? jab deko thab baap bete ki kusur pusur chalu..nandini asked standing in front of us..where abhay put envelope in his blazer in blink, before nandini notices..i covered up for him..he gave everything is under control look, i relaxed as i turned to nandini..who gave what's going on look..

what's happening malhotra boys? she crossed her hands across her chest..i looked abhay, he did nothing but same..he gave what to do look..and i gave i don't know look..avni was real time savior like always..but her ways always scares shit out of me..

avni..i shouted in peck, as i ran before she does any stupid work..i pulled her from upper railings of cruise, who was viewing sea, and she couldn't see properly and all thanks to her little height, it was really not safe for my baby, who could have tripped, If anything goes wrong..i glared her, where she gulped in horror..

what was that stunt? i asked her, maintaining my volume and tone, as she looked scared..hearing my volume, she gave nervous smile to cover up her act..where nandini dashed to see if she was okay with abhay, as nandini was facing her back to avni..she didn't had any idea about it..

chooryyy,..she held her ears, making all cute pouts..trying to melt me, which she evidently did, i can't be angry upon her, for a second also..never..where i hugged her..

u won't repeat it, are u getting it..stuff it in ur tiny head..i warned, where she smiled sheepishly as, i let her go, without scolding her..which she anticipated from me..

so, ab tho meri gift dedo maniiiii..Avni ne Sabse Peli gift diya ..Aur tume tho muje aur sathna hai..nandini faked a cry..huh! such gift baby she is..i looked abhay..he was like, all the best dude..i nodded to him..as he opened his blazer button, as he pulled out envelope..where he passed same to her..she gave what's this look..

manii..ethna pikka gift..i thought i will get bigger gifts..fancy gifts..she said as took envelope from abhay's hand..I know she didn't meant a letter in that sentence.. Nandini Murthy needs fancy gifts, is last joke of world..

mom, paper math deko..uski chupi kushi n feelings deko..kon jane es paper mai kya hai? he said, i gave what non sense are u talking look..even my lyrics are easy to understand than understanding abhay's words..

are u talking french, by mistake??? it was avni, abhay gave animated look to us..where we all stood confused..

french..like seriously..forget it..u are brainless to understand The Abhay Malhotra's words..and u mom..ab time waste kyu kar rahi ho? weren't desperate for a gift..now go ahead, kiski rah dek rahi ho..tumri Nani ki?? he gave annoyed look..i was like, what happened to him..maybe nuts dila hogaya hoga..I need to enquire it from mrudula..

whatever..nandini said, as she started opening letter, where same curious puppy face was back on our face, especially me..

nandini started reading it, her emotions changed like chameleon, who changes its color, but nandini murthy expressions, i couldn't predict at the moment..i looked my kids..one was biting nails and other was rubbing nape with me..Sweat beads where forming on forehead..As it consists, two important letters..One is important to all the four and other is specially for my Jaanu..

she completed reading one paper, which we purposely kept above..and our eyes meet..her tears rolled as she banged to me..i was little worried now..dobara galthi tho nae kardiya, maine?? i don't want to make any mistake again..

thanku..all i could hear in her melodious voice,which told her happiness to me..i sighed in happiness this is what I wanted hear from her, the happiness in her voice, as i took her warm and passionate hug..forgetting everything around us..

(my personal fav.. cheek kiss..gosh! his smile..and cute pouts😘😘😘😍😍..)

i was even rewarded with cheek kiss, I smiled ear to ear, maybe blush too..Yeah, I know it won't go good..But she is only girl, who can make me blush..And I feel crazily sensations within me, in my entire system..

it was letter from top most college in india for science students, to complete her passion, which she dreamed off, being scientist..it was her first gift..i wished to give her today..living without passion,which we loved to core and dreamed to achieve something in our passion..and suddenly u need to Let them go, isn't easy.. and becoming something, which u never wanted to happen in ur life..It is worst..trust me in that..because i know, how it feels..i have gone through that bad phase in my life also..but i regained it back, by passing major obstacles, which threw my life into worst and here our relationship isn't that transparent, the way it used be, and one of the reason, I said that words to her that day, because I was in biggest, vulnerable and miserable position where I did all was taking hasty decision in my life.. And all thanks again to me..But I was hung in situation very badly..Where I could sit and watch my own disaster..Such massive disasters I had..I wished, I was dead at the moment..But all I was punished to feel every drop of tears from others eyes..

And same thing happened with Nandini but today i make sure, nandini get back to her life, the way she dreamed, 11 years back..i want fill up all happiness, she missed from years..i won't let any stone unturned this time..i promised myself to give her happiness and i will do it by hook or crook..If it takes me away also, I don't mind at all..All I need my girls happiness, who bought smile in my life..

tum logo ko, kuch sharam nae athi kya? nae i'm serious..abhay, stated closing his eyes with one palm and doing same with avni from his other hand..wow! i was actually guessing, where was he..and he is back with his sarcastic comment..where i rolled my eyes for his ever famous dramas..drame baaz..

jab deko pda shuru..kabhi kabhi ass pass deka karo..we are still kids for heaven sake..he continued..where nandini in my arms still, she wasn't affect by his words..she will be used in few more trails, with our son't taunt on our TLC..and sooner like wise he will be used too..We are anywhere stopping them for rest of the life..

kids??khon kids?? i can see only one kid..that's my baby pumpkin..nandini are u seeing any other kid here? i asked her, where avni shooed abhay's hands from her face, where she ran to my arms, where i took her my embrace as she also wants to tease abhay, how will she let go opportunity, when she as my side..he gave poker look to avni for deed..and glared me..

nae tho...kohi hai kya? i'm not able to see any here..nandini played along..as if seeing every side to search another kid but abhay.. where i and pumpkin, where laughing hi-fi-ing each other..

mom..not u yaar..ye baap beti hamesha, muje tease karthi hai..u are supporting them..ahhahhahh, mera kohi nae, yappe...he started another level of drama with his fake cry..god! mera baap nikaltha hai acting mai..i gave whatever look..and girl beside me, have all worlds soft corner to her dearest son, who looks exactly like me..where she melted for his fake tears..all tease is forgetting business, when its her son..avni slapped her forehead seeing another melodrama of duo..god! someone send them to daily soaps..

ayyo..abbu..don't cry baby..i will always support u..and i will only support u and no one else..okay..she cajoled him..that's what he wants..his mom for himself..

mom..its ABHAY..just ek letter jayada..that's it..okay..he said softly as he clung to her, where she nodded in approval, he gave tongue emoji sign to us..where we both rolled our eyes, simultaneously..

flashback ends..

happy? i asked her..where eyes said all her happiness to me..she was in my embrace, near to my heart..her smile, made my day..

u don't know manik..how much happy i'm? i'm unable to say, how happy i'm..this letter is again in my hand..but this time i'm sure.. i will have my passion, because u are in my side..i lost all hope on them, but u made them come true again..i can't still believe..i'm selected..but how? and mainly bacche? who will take care of them? manik no..i guess, i should let them go..i can't take this..i can't be selfish..she said all in one go..where her eyes first showed happiness and then sudden sadness..a tear almost formed in her eyes..which were ready to flow..i sat on my knees as i made her sit on couch..where our kids were fixing music instruments with help of servants..actually supervising and instructing them..as we wanted small musical jamming, on a wish of nandini..

shhssh...bath bath pe rothi ho, tum nandini..i cupped her cheeks..where her hands were on my chest..I so knew it, this is coming on its way, I need to give her assurance..As it's needed to her from my side..She was mother..And for her.. Everything is next..And her first priority will always be are her kids, it universal proof..That mom's chose there kid upon everything..They can never be selfish about themselves..They come after there kids need.. That's what I experienced in my life..May be I don't have my mom around..But she always kept me safe and sound as much as she could..My safety and security was her concern and she did best job of that..I can never complain about it..Because I had best mother's in my entire, whom I couldn't have in my life..And coming to Nandini she proved it that she was best mother anyone could have..My kids are blessed one..Who got Nandini as there mother and whom they can have anytime anywhere..

Nandini..Peli bath..This offer letter in ur hand is all u got by urself..U had kept many thesis copies in home..Which were useful, in today's world also..I just mailed all copies to respective authorities..Who took all decision of having u in there college..For ur own ideas and facts..They were so impressed by u..That they have sent offer letter to u in next instant..And secondly, I didn't influenced anyone it's just Ur knowledge, which influenced u today..And thirdly, I took permission from both kids.. before coming to India only..They gave all consent before I explain anything..They were more than happy to, let u do what Ur heart says..And fourthly u aren't selfish Nandini..U aren't... having something, which u dreamt off is not any selfish..Its called self happiness.. Finding happiness in what we are doing..Which gives enormous amount of happiness and satisfaction..And which won't get anywhere in world.. Whatever we do, it won't give us that happiness..Which u want have..So, having self happiness, without harming anyone is not selfish jaanu.. Fivethly and lastly..Who said that I won't take care of them..I will do my best..I will to cop up to give them all the things in ur absence..I know, im nowhere reach to u..I'm nowhere good..But I will try my best..If could trust me upon Ur kids..The doubt is still hanging in my head.. Didn't I said u, my insecurities, are in infinity level..Holding them and walking along them, is not all possible..But what can I do..I was made to feel that pain..Which I couldn't forget, anywhere sooner..

Her eyes softened with my count but when I reached last point..There was a frown..Maybe she didn't liked, when  I said Ur kids.. Because I remember that day, she said that it's her kids not mine..It didn't hurted me, is whole lie..She just poured entire acid on my burning heart that day..I felt I don't have any right on them..I felt I wasn't parent and father my kids..It hurt a father in me so badly.. all I could do was to control that damn emotion of mine, which were ready for battle with her, but because I don't want to make any mistake, to hold our relationship, which was on way to ruin second time..staying mum was best option..By closing my eyes..my emotions within me..It hurted like a bitch..Trust me.. I felt..

Manik..Whats that Ur kids..They our kids..Samje..She said in authorive tone..I smiled little maybe..

And I trust u upon our kids..U will deal with them in best way.. infact u will keep them happy and safe more than me..I trust u Manik Malhotra..I Trust u, upon them..She ended as she kissed my forehead..For my assurance, my heart danced in a beat.. Hearing I trust u..It felt I won the world..My world..Its only her..My jaanu..

Vaise.. I'm shocked to see, I'm selected in best institution of india..I mean in 'GHAR'..I can't still believe I'm going to be student of this institute..I mean..Its my dream to presue my passion there..But I didn't got opportunity there, before this..I'm obliged to part of it..She said in all exictement..I felt proud..Hearing the name..Why won't I?? Because I'm chair person of that institute..Which deals with whole medical things and research with many more things..And we have college by side, which encourages students based on Ur idea's, getting into that college isn't cake walk at all, its Ur knowledge, which brings u to institute..and it is At my place.. LONAVALA..Where she used live..Who is founder of GHAR..Devika Deshmukh..The famous cardiologist, of entire Asia..Who is masters in all..A women, who was praised for her both music and her profession..My entire life is, what she gave me.

Getting back to square have its own happiness but never forget pain is still there..And what's the difference is u making it possible that happiness overcomes Ur pain.. That's beauty of getting into square..

Abhi ki leye hogaya..Now tell me hows it..I know..I love to hang on cliff like all ways..Trust me..Devika her name and past will revealed after many parts by Manik himself..Till then stay tune..remember,I love to create suspense u see..

And what u think is other letter?? Guess karo..I'm seeing it..Who does it..

Till then good night for u all..Bye..

Lots of love..
