Sorry for the long wait...

☆♡◇♧●♧◇♡☆

Recap...

The phone rang twice before it was lifted...

Hello... a deep husky voice entered her ears which would make anyone shiver with delight... well anyone except nandini murthy...

Nandu: your manik malhotra arent you...............

☆♡◇♧●♧◇♡☆

Phone convo...

Manik: yes, and you are... he trailed off not knowing who it was...

Nandini: I am nandini... we met this morning... she said in a dead cold tone...

Manik: ah, the girl i was about to kiss... he asked her with a light pleasant chuckle...

listening to her voice was enough for him to guess who it was but he wanted to play along and see what her response would be... How he hated to play with people's emotions... until they played with his...

Nandini: no the girl who threatened to cut your family jewels... she spoke casually yet coldly making manik "almost" shiver... if not for his impassive nature, he was sure he would have shivered...

Voice: Mumma what's family jewels?? Is it jewels???

Manik coughed awkwardly as he recognised the voice... it was Ayaan...

Nandu put her hand on the speaker to block her voice...

Nandini: jaan, that's a bad word and you shouldnt use it, alright... mumma spelled it wrong...

Ayaan: ok mumma... he said with a pout...

Manik: so, how did you get my number and why... he asked her finally getting to the point...

Nandini: Ayaan, my son... wants to talk to you... she said looking at her eager little love looking at her with bright eyes... this made her soften her tone a little...

Manik: oh is it so... alright... give it to him... he said casually as it wasnt a big deal...

Nandini: hmm... she muttered before turning towards Ayaan...

Nandu: Jaan, here you go... uncle se baat karni hai na baby... she said handing him the phone who happily took it...

Ayaan: Uncle Manik!

Manik: hey kiddo... what's up...

Ayaan: nothing i just wanted to talk to you...

Manik: alright... how is school...

Ayaan: its ok... uncle manik, did you forget what i said when we met...

Manik: hmm? What did you say?

Ayaan: i said i will come visit you... but mumma says that you are very busy... cant we meet please... he asked pouting cutely...

Manik: ah yeah i remember-

Ayaan: so its a yes!!!

Manik: ah well... i am busy-

Ayaan: is it a no... he said sadly as he lowered his eyelashes... his eyes were filled with tears...

Nandu tightened her fist seeing this...

*control control... they are still talking...* she muttered in her heart continuously...

Manik: no, not like that kiddo... we can meet... ok... how about this weekend... i am free then... he spoke hurriedly for the first time in years maybe... listening to Ayaan's sad voice Manik was uncomfortable...

He just didnt want Ayaan to feel sad...

Ayaan: Really!!!! He smiled brightly making manik chuckle at his mood swings...

Manik: really...

Ayaan: thank you sooo much uncle manik... then see you this weekend... he said while manik hummed...

Ayaan gave the phone back to nandini with a big smile... she smiled back at ayaan who ran to the dining table...

Nandini: hello...

Manik hummed in response as he rummaged his wardrobe looking for an outfit... he had a late night shoot...

Nandini: i hope you know your limits... my son doesnt know the kind of person you are... and if i see anything inappropriate, i am the investor of the movie... you should keep this in your mind... she said coldly which made manik halt for a second...

Manik: hah, really and what kind of person am i... he said dead coldly... which made nandu frown...

Manik: i hate being threatened and yes, i do know my limits... i hope you do too... he said in his usual tone as if he wasnt the one who talked before...

Nandini: That, you dont need to bother... she said and cut the call...

Manik looked at his phone coldly... his eyes were empty...

Manik: When was the last time someone threatened me cabir... He said as he chuckled but there was no signs of laughter in his eyes...

Cabir: Manik, we need to go now... he said looking at him... a small trace of surprise could be seen...

Nandini murthy wasnt it...

Cabir thought while locking the door...

______________

Nandini went down slowly while contemplating if she crossed the line...

It seems i have said too much... but i had too...

Mind: yes you did cross the line...

Heart: Ayaan is our life... i dont want him to go near this guy...

Mind: no matter what, you were rude... and he didnt even say any thing...

Heart: I think our actions are justified... as long as it is for ayaan...

Mind: i cant argue with that...

She thought... but then looking at ayaan infront of her sitting on the table... she shook her head...

No, i shouldnt think like this... i want my baby to have a happy and carefree life...

Heart: then you better apologise to that guy...

No way Nandini murthy never apologises to someone other than her jaan...

Mind: then this nandini murthy should stop being rude to everyone...

You know what he did! He tried to kiss me!!! Even when he knew i had a Son!!

Heart: he didnt kiss you though...

Shut up!!

Ayaan: mumma come come... sit sit... he said patting the seat beside him... seeing this nandu smiled and went there...

Nandu: arre arre my baby is soo happy ha... give mumma a kiss please... she said mischievously sitting on the chair while pointing her cheek... Ayaan stretched himself trying to reach her... he pouted and stood up in his chair... nandu widened her eyes... although she thought of making fun of him but she didnt expect him to stand on the chair to kiss her...

Nandu: ayaan baby, you will fall down... she said circling her arm around his small waist... he used his small hands to gain balance by resting them on her shoulder and lifted his feet to step on her lap... he now stood on nandu's lap while smiling triumphantly...

He then kissed her cheeks making her chuckle...

Nandu grabbed ayaan tightly all of a sudden and kissed his cheek countless times making sounds... while ayaan was giggling continuously...

______________

And finally the most awaited weekend...

Ding dong ding dong

Manik who was sleeping after coming back from his late night shoot opened his eyes...

He looked at the time... it was 9:15... its not cabir... cause he knew he would NEVER disturb him...

He stood up being irritated by the continuous ringing...

He opened the door to see Nandini carrying Ayaan in her arms and Ayaan's little arm stretched towards the calling bell...

Seeing him, ayaan smiled brightly while nandu's gaze grew even colder...

Ayaan: Uncle Manik!!!

Ayaan stretched his arms towards Manik in attempts to go to him... while manik too subconsciously raised his hands...

Ayaan felt nandu pull him back... he looked at her tilting his head in confusion...

Ayaan: Mumma?

Nandu: Mr. Malhotra... she spoke sternly which made manik tilt his head in confusion...

She gestured him to look down through her eyes...

Manik followed her action just to see he was standing in his boxers...

He gave her a tight lipped smile and asked them to sit before going to his room to wear his shirt...

Ayaan pouted seeing manik go away and pouted even more seeing nandu not even reacting like the other girls do... after all his uncle's famous 6 pack and muscles were best...

Nandu looked around the house to see of there was anything inappropriate...

Although i would never admit it, he has a decent taste...

She thought as she put Ayaan down who eagerly bounced around... his cheeks were juggling as he ran around giggling...

Nandu: Jaan be careful... she spoke as she followed him...

Meanwhile manik who was now wearing his shirt facepalmed seeing the mother and son moving here and there in his house...

This was the first time he bought someone other than cabir to his house... and this was certainly going to be a long day...
