Recap...

Man: i am Manik... Manik Malhotra... he said and looked up to see the women from earlier staring at him with cold eyes... their gazes locked...

☆♡◇♧●♧◇♡☆

Due to the distance between them nandu couldnt hear him properly... all she saw was some STRANGER smiling at HER son and ruffling HER son's hair to which HER son didnt pout or object but instead HE actually SMILED...

Nandu was beyond irritated seeing this... She unknowingly glared at the stranger, wait a min more specifically glared his hand which was on HER son's hair...

Coincidentally manik looked up to see her glaring at him... he was slightly taken aback... he wondered for a minute and took his hand away... seeing this nandu stopped glaring at him and returned to her indifferent attitude as if nothing just happened...

Standing beside her, ishika shook her head in disbelief... she knew nandu well enough to understand what happened... but what bewildered her was that this stranger could actually understand NANDINI MURTHY...

Ayaan talked with manik for a minute before going... he also said that he will visit him every day... seeing him all cherry manik smiled in his heart... Childhood was a blessing... but his was definitely worse than a curse...

He nodded at him slightly and watched them disappear from his sight... his thoughts were interuppted by a small tap on his shoulder...

Cabir........... manik thought as he turned around to face him... standing infront of him was a man who looked absolutely dead in his eyes... unlike him who mastered the art of concealing his emotions... Cabir looked like a real human at least...

Cabir: chal... we need to leave... i dont want to deal with all the drama this time... he said in a tone which was devoid of any emotion except pain...

Manik looked at him for a minute before shaking his head...

Manik: cabir... man you need a break man... from all of this... he said with humour in his tone and expression but cabir knew he wasnt even close to joking...

To the others, they appeared as a cold person (cabir) and a warmhearted person (manik) talking harmoniously but only they know how the other feels...

Manik: here, my keys... he said and started walking towards his car while cabir stared at the keys blankly before putting it in manik's bag again... he walked out along with manik and a few bouncers... as soon as manik stepped outside flashes of lights surrounded them... manik smiled at them and waved his hand while cabir stood beside him like he always does protecting him from the fans... he was afterall manik's manager...

They entered the car quickly and drove away from all the reporters...

☆♡◇♧●♧◇♡☆

Meanwhile nandu, ishika and ayaan finally reached their condo... they went straight towards the dining area where food was already served ready for them... nandu sat in the chair and made ayaan sit in her lap as she fed him with her own hands...

She then dressed him up in comfy clothes before changing herself...

Nandu was a little uneasy and wanted to be with ayaan more... so after the lunch both of them played in the drawing room and ishika took nandu's place and attended the meetings...

Ayaan was running away from nandu while nandu ran after him to catch him... ayaan raised both his hands and made a airplane shape and ran... nandu too followed his notion and ran with him... all the workers present in the room were astonished even if they knew this wasnt new to them... because no one would actually imagine that their cold hearted boss could play and run like this... it was all due to her life, ayaan...

Nandu finally sighed in relief as her uneasiness went away seeing ayaan laying on his stomach scrubbing something on the book... she slowly stood up and went out side to call ishika...

As soon as nandu went outside ayaan stood up and put his crayon down... he quickly went near his ipad and opened google... he typed the name...

Search : Manik Malhotra...

Manik malhotra the worlds most famous actor... With a fanbase that even the top most stars in the history couldnt compare... his recent films 'Loving you' a romcom and 'Hiding behind the door' a horror movie were a blockbuster hit... He now is rumoured to be co-staring with Lara carson in 'back to sixteen'...

(Imagine a picture of manik and lara...)

Reading this ayaan pouted... that lady was not looking good beside his uncle... he thought only his mom suited to be with his uncle... he then further clicked on maniks bio...

Manik malhotra... son of raj malhotra and neyonika singhania (divorced)... started his acting when he was 16 years old... lives in xxxx...

Ayaans eyes brightened as he saw maniks address... he immediately mapped it and quickly put the ipad down and went back to his book as if nothing just happened...

☆♡◇♧●♧◇♡☆

Meanwhile...

Nandu quickly called ishika...

Phone convo...

Nandu: ishi whats the matter... hows it going... she asked casually while looking through the fridge...

Ishi: Nanduuuuu... waaa... these old men are not leaving me alone... waaaa... these files are too many... she cried as she banged her head lightly on the table...

Nandu: .... nandu was quite as the night... meanwhile ishika went on speaking about what happened...

Nandu: oh... she said while ishika pouted... she talked for hours and all she got was a 'oh'...

Ishi: actually nandu... i wanted to ask you... why are you angry at a stranger... did he(manik) do something?... she asked as it irked her very much...

Nandu: no... she said after a slight pause... ishika widened her eyes in disbelief...

Ishi: then... you glared at him all because you were just jealous... she spook too loud accidentally... nandu frowned slightly...

Nandu: no... i am just very possessive of whats mine... she said in a straightforward tone while ishika opened her mouth in disbelief...

Nandu: if you dont have anything else to say... then bye... she said and cut the call before ishika could even say anything...

Nandu put her phone in her pocket and went towatds the drawing room to see ayaan was still scrubbing something on the book... she went towards him and sat beside him to see...

He drew their initials... she smiled looking at them... NM, AM AND MM??? She looked at the last initials... she didnt recognise them... she pondered for a bit but found no clue... she looked at ayaan who was smiling at her while showing his art... she smiled brightly and left the issue as it wasnt important...

She took the book and kept it back in its place and lifted ayaan up... she walked towards the home theatre... they both settled on the couch cuddling eachother as they watched the movie doraemon...

☆♡◇♧●♧◇♡☆

Nandu then took the sleepy ayaan to his bed... she caressed his cheeks lovingly as she covered him with the sheets...

She went down to meet ishika in the drawing room... they both talked for a while and decided to call it off...

Nandu was also about to go when her gaze landed on the table...

She took the jar and opened the lid... she gave this to ayaan 5 months back... it was because she wanted him to write his dreams... she wanted to be the best mom... she wanted to know what he wanted and what he needed...

Nandu opened the chit...

Dear mummy...

I want to visit uncle... please send me...

She frowned slightly... and opened the next one...

Dear mummy...

I want to go here xxxx... please let me meet him...

Third...

Dear mummy...

I love you... please fulfill my wish... i want to meet uncle... please... please...

She opened all the chits to see the same thing written on them... she slightly stroked her forehead... she didnt know what to do...

She put all of the back and went towards their bed... she slid down next to her jaan and took him into her arms...

Feeling his mother ayaan wrapped his arms around her neck and snuggled into her...

That night nandu couldnt sleep well... she was busy thinking... she looked at her bunny and sighed again...

Tomorrow is going to be another long day...
