Next morning Nandini came early to malhotra mansion n saw a sleeping Manik so she came down in kitchen n started making something yummy for breakfast Nandini came to his room n sat beside him

Softly ruffling his hair Nandini leaned on his back near his ear n said soft

Nan-hey love........wake up

Manik stirred in sleep n started his tantrums to wake up n Nandini calmly woke him

After he woke up n taking her for a long kiss Manik sat with the support of head rest seeing Nandini with his pufffed sleepy eyes

Nandini came near him n was combing his hair with her fingers n adoring him

After a long adoration Manik got up n got ready for college while Nandini was waiting for him than they had breakfast n than they were abt to leave wen Nandini said

Nan-Manik mujhe tumse kuch baat krni hai plz room Mei chalo

Manik agreed n both left upstairs Cmg at room Manik sat on bed n Nandini in front of him n said after a long pause

Nan-agar Mei kuch kaho toh kya tum woh kaam karoge

Manik remained silent as a gesture to continue n he will agree after hearing everything n Nandini continued

Nan-Manik kaal jo cheque tumne muje diya woh tum dad ko de do

Manik looked at her surprisingly n Nandini immediately held his hand to control all his emotions n said

Nan-Manik it's ur first earning.......n dad ka Haq mujse zayda hai aur woh humse bade bhi hai n unhe khushi hogi

Manik was still silent n his this silence was making Nandini tensed so she said softly

Nan-kuch toh bolo Manik

N finally he spoke controlling all his anger

Ma-jo chiz meri hai jo Mei chahta ho jo meri marzi hai tum hamesha dusro ko de deti ho never ever u claim that .............pehle woh car wala scene than that O2 k baad ki party n ab yeh cheque just ans me why ? Kyu meri chiz pe se apna haq hata rhi ho

Nandini held his hand strongly in her hand n said softly

Nan-because.......I love you.......n I don't want to lose you

Manik frowned n asked

Ma-wat lose wat are u talking Nandini

Nandini sat in a comfortable position infront of him n said

Nan-Manik I have a fmly Chacha chachi amms rishab.........ussi tarha fab5 n dad is ur fmly Manik........... aur tum Jante ho talent hunt Mei jo hova we survived it Manik we dint let fab5 or us to break.......bt I m scared to lose you.......Manik I still remember ur words wen u said that agar aisi situation aai that u have to choose btwn me n fab5 u will choose fab5.........n I don't want to put u in that situation.......aaj agar yeh saari duniya apni saari dolat aur jayedat (property) bhi lekar mere samne rakh de in return of that cheque toh bhi uss cheque ki value nhi laga Skte hai bcoz it's ur hard work through which u have earned that n it is very precious to me........lekin Manik agar hamare bich problems ho gai toh I just don't want to take that risk isliye agar thode hrs ya a day we have to sacrifice for fab5 or dad to chalega rather than parting ways or being drifted apart hai na?

By now Manik had softened a bit n Nandini continued

Nan-aur Manik muje aisi koi chiz nhi chahiye jisse tum mujse dur ho jao I just want u Manik nothing else aur fir meri wishes n needs ko fulfill krne k liye tum ho na chacha bhi hai n now toh dad bhi hai so watelse I want.........aur fir (trying to get funny) Mei un paise ko sambhalu ya tumhara dhyan rakhu.........I don't want any distraction from you Manik........plz isliye tum woh cheque dad ko de do.........n believe me that I won't disappoint you just give him n jo memory hume banani thi with that cheque we have made it woh cheque first tumne muje diya tha that will always be a truth btwn us hai na

Manik was looking at her n Nandini asked him not sure abt his ans

Nan-doge na ?

Manik bobbed his head agreeing to her n a big smile came on her lips n than she said

Nan-ek aur baat

Ma-hhhmm

Nan-next week Diwali hai........ sooooooo can we go to dad to celebrate Diwali........aur dad ka bday bhi hai uss din n you haven't met dad after that phone call isliye

Nan-u don't have to worry about them unhe mei mana lungi bt fab5........tum unlogo se baat kar lo n invite them also na it will be fun

Ma-okay madam aapka hukum sar aankho pe

Saying this he bowed his head infront of her n Nandini immediately hugged him kissing his head

Breaking the hug Manik looked at her smiling face n said

Ma-aisi hi hasti raho coz that lets me stay in peace

Nandini smiling bobbed her head n than Manik asked

Ma-ab chale college

Nan-chalo

With these they left college n soon reached there.entering to their respective work they started their college day

After a long jam session they took a break n were talking wen Manik said or rather asked

D-tere dad k pass thoda awkward nhi hoga

Ma-actually uss din dad ka bday bhi hai n with dad Nandini ki first Diwali hai so isliye

He finished saying n Nandini entered n than they all left to have their lunch

Nan-I know lekin...........actually Manik n his dad they have sorted all their differences bt haven't met after that woh concert Mei busy tha that's y this is the main reason y we thought to go there soooo

After she said fab5 started thinking abt her point n Manik came back gvg their order

Adjusting himself beside Nandini he looked at their confusing faces n asked

Ma-Kya hova Kya soch rhe ho tumlog

With answering fab4 looked at each other n with eyes agreed to it n than cabir said

C-actually hum dcd kr rhe the k

A big smile appeared on Nandini's face while Manik too was happy that he will be able to celebrate Diwali with all his loved once so they made the whole plan n finally dcd that before the day of Diwali at evening Manik n Nandini will leave for Pune n fab4 n navya will join next day afternoon

Than rest of the day passed usual n Manik called his dad n informed abt their plan n here Nandini after having dinner discussed this topic with Chacha chachi n told everything that was imp to let them know to grant her permission n they agreed to let her go

So next 5-6 days passed in jiffy in these days their first concert outside Mumbai dates were final bt now they were concentrating on Diwali

Nandini was hell excited to celebrate Diwali coz she already love the festival n now Manik is with her n most importantly after this festival Manik will be at peace n happy with his dad his half fmly will be complete

Soon the day arrived wen at evening manan were leaving for Pune packing everything that she will need for 3 days n her new Diwali outfit she was ready she carefully took the cheque also to be given to mr malhotra

Manik came to pick up Nandini bt not before meeting murthy's n handing them n good Diwali gift having a small sweet festival time with them Manik n Nandini left towards Pune

All the way Nandini was hoping on her seat in excitement n also talking to Manik abt all her wishes n plans

They reached Pune by 10.30 n mr malhotra purposely waited for them to have dinner together entering in Nandini had a big smile seeing dad after so long so she came hurriedly n hugged him n mr malhotra too took her in his fatherly embrace

Asking abt each other Nandini broke the hug n was talking while Manik was standing a lil away from them with his head bowed down

She realized abt Manik so parted away from mr malhotra n waited for Manik to come ahead bt Manik glued himself whr he was standing so mr malhotra politely called him

Mr m-Manik

Saying this he spread his hands gesturing him to hug him n Manik came running to him n crashed himself in his arms

Silent tears welled up in all of their eyes while Manik was trying to intake all the fatherly love in that hug n mr malhotra was gvg him all that love n warmth

After a long silence Manik spoke still being in the hug

Ma-I m sorry dad so sorry

N now started wailing like a child not able to see him Nandini came forward tears in her eyes n softly started rubbing his back to calm him down while Manik continued his sorry session

Shankar kaka was seeing the whole scenario from a lil away n was crying n here mr malhotra broke the hug forcefully n said wiping his tears

Mr m-its ok beta muje tumse koi nazargi nhi hai

N Manik again came into his hug n cried n so did the rest of 3 after a long pause Nandini said in her crying tone

Nan-how mean Akele akele hug kr rhe ho muje aise rula k last tym bhi rula diya tha very bad

Hearing her both the malhotra's smiled btwn their tears n opened their one side hand to let her in the hug n Nandini happily came in

Having a long fmly hug with silent slow tears Nandini forcefully broke the hug n said first wiping mr malhotra's eyes

Nan-chalo enough of crying now it's Diwali

Than she turn to Manik wiping his tears

Nan-so hum bahut saara fun krenge n for that we have to plan

Than she stood btwn both the malhotra's n asked

Nan-ryt?

Both of them bobbed their head bt than they heard Shankar kaka's voice who was Cmg getting a tray filled with 3 glass of water

Kaka-lekin uske pehle khana kha lo

Nandini came forward n took the glass from him n gave water to Manik n mr malhotra keepin the tray on the small table near the sofa set she came to kaka n now down to take his blessings n than getting up she asked
