A shock filled Nandini left manik's cabin. Soon after a while, he came up to her.

Manik: Nandini don't think like I am pressurising you but listen I need my child.

Nandini: huh? How can u even dare to ask me that? You were the one who left us all alone and now you are coming to me and asking for ansh. Do u think there is any justice in your actions?

Manik: even the court gives second chance for everyone with the hope of rectifying their mistakes.

Nandini: I don't know what to reply if you speak some nonsense like this!

Manik: let's stay calm and take decision Nandini. Haste makes waste...

Nandini: when you didn't want to give a single chance to our relation , how can u expect me to give you a second chance?

Manik: don't bring the past between Nandini. Every child needs father and same goes with ansh too...

Nandini: where did that father go for these many years?

Manik: I want to rectify my mistake pls give me a chance....

Without saying any word further, Nandini left to her home.

There after reaching, she saw the most adorable sight. He saw abheer playing with cabir, his father!! That's the moment she realised that eventhough she rised ansh as a mother and father, a father is always a father.

He went near cabir and looked at them with all happiness in her eyes....

Cabir: hey girl! Returned early today?

Nandini: yeah.... Just completed my work andso I came early.

Cabir noticed that Nandini wants to ask something to him but hesitated...

Cabir: u wanna ask me something?

Nandini: hmm....yeah.... actually....

Cabir: u can ask me anything. Just go in a flow....

Nandini: how important is a father to a child?

Cabir: a father is like a superman for his child. He becomes their saviour from mom's cute taunts and he becomes the one who secretly takes out them to enjoy without mom's knowledge.

Nandini: why would you even do that?

Cabir: it's because you ladies are over caring and over protective. In handling these two, you really forget how to enjoy this phase and you even deny the child from their happiness....

Nandini: tell further....

Cabir: ok listen. You being a science student, I will explain you with example. So if your son asks you out for a late night ice cream will you take him?

Nandini: no obviously...! Safety comes first.....

Cabir: but we father's will take them out and make sure they enjoy themselves......

Nandini: but what if they get ill because of this late night antics??

Cabir: that's what you mothers are for.... To nurture them and tell them what is good and what is bad.... You see, you are now over protective about ansh and that's the main reason you are behaving all strict with that kiddo.... But with his father, he can do all naughty things and If you scold then it will be like equal equal.... Whenever a mom scolds, a dad will be the savior and vice versa.....

Nandini: hmm....

Cabir: listen I never asked you about the father of ansh but I think it's time for him to meet his father. At this age, he needs his father the most..... I know you both might have problems but think what did that innocent child do to get denied of his father's love??

Nandini: I will think over this and whatever I do, you are the first person to be notified.... Is that okay with you?

Cabir: pls. Consider me as your big brother and share anything with me. I am here to guide you in the right path...

Nandini: thanks.... I will just freshen up and join you soon....

Saying so, Nandini went to meet her love! Her baby ansh...!

Ansh was looking very dull as though the little soul was upset over something.

Nandini: ansh darling, what happened to my baby?

Ansh: Mumma, they are soo bad...!

Nandini: who kiddo?

Ansh: those boys!they are saying I am an orphan who has no father.....

Nandini: it's not like that..... You too have a father and he is your super hero...!

Ansh: really??

Nandini: yeah when time comes, I will meet you with your father.....( Poor girl doesn't know that they are well acquainted but ansh does not know about Manik being his father)

Ansh: can I meet him today?

Nandini: ok.... I will call him home....

Saying so, she calls Manik.

Manik: what yaar? What have you decided?

Nandini: ansh wants to meet his dad! Can you come to my home today?

Manik: are you serious Nandini?

Nandini: yeah.... Because my priority is my baby's happiness....:)

Manik was more than happy and he soon reached home and prepared himself to meet ansh. It's not the first time he is meeting him but it's their first official meet as dad- son in presence of mom...!!
