Location  :  MALHOTRA Mansion  ;  PUNAE  ; Pool side

Mr.MALHOTRA's thought process is broken by MANIK  ;  who saw dat he is standing some feet distance frm dem........

M - DAD.....!!!!!

Ma - Huh......Haan......

M - aap wahan kyun khade hain????
Aayiye na.......

He came n sat on his knees infront of NANDINI n took her both hands in his n  said.......

Ma - GOLU......!!!!!

She lukd straight into his eyes.......

Im really sorry.......

❄  Maine bohot koshish ki jaldi aane ki.........
jis conference keliye main gaya tha  ;  uss main sabse imp the LONDON ke deligates........

Lekin wahan uss waqth bohot zyada floods hone ki wajah se vo log bohot late aaye......
Isiliye mujhe NEW JERSEY main hi 1month tak rehna pada.......

Mujhe news mili thi Mr. & Mrs.MURTHY ki........

He stopped for a moment  ;  Both has tears in their eyes.......😢
N he continued.......

Par usi waqth DUBAI main sand storm ki wajah se saare flights ✈ cancel kardiye gaye.........

Maine apne private Chopper 🚁  se aane ki koshish ki  ;  lekin nahin ho paya.......

Tumse milne keliye aur tumse baat karne keliye aur tumhe gale lagane keliye main kitna restless hua tha  ;  yeh sirf main hi jaantha hoon.......

Pagal hogaya tha main......
Maine socha ki bhaad main gayi confernce aur tumhare paas ana chahta tha  ,  lekin nahin aapaya........

Meri sirf body wahan thi.......
Meri mind  ,  heart  ,  soul  sab tumhare paas tha.......

1month ke baad conference khatam karke  ,  main directly MUMBAI aya tha.......

Tum logon ne mere saamne kabhi MANGALORE ki zikar nahin ki toh mujhe pata hi nahin chala ki tum log kahan the........

Bohot koshish ki maine par nahin dhoondh paya..........❄

Im sorry.......
Jab tumhe meri sabse zyada zarurath thi main tumhare saath nahin tha.......

Im really sorry........

Both were in  tears.......😢

But NANDINI became a 3yr old kid ; exactly lyk dat wen she used to be vt Mr.MALHOTRA in her childhood   ,  who is not at all ready to listen anything........

N - phir bhi ; aap mujhe bhool gaye......

He wiped her tears n stood up n held her hand n said.........
Ma - chalo mere saath.......

Saying dis he dragged her into his room.......

n MANIK followed dem.......

Der is a book shelf in d room......
He moved it aside n said........

Ma - chalo andar.......

He went in switched on d lights......💡

MANIK is shocked to c dat der is a secret room in it  ,  which even he doesnt knw abt......

MANIK n  NANDINI went inside n what NANDINI saw left her speechless......😯
n MANIK is hell confused........

Ma - pata hain main roz raat ko yehi pe aake sota hoon.......
Taaki main yeh feel kar sakun  ki tum mere saath hi ho..........

Ab batao PRINCESS.......
Kya ab bhi bologi ki main tumhe bhool gaya?????

Bolo.......

He said n tears continuously flowing frm his eyes.......😢

❇ Actually d room contained d pics of NANDINI's childhood.......

Der are soo many pics of NANDINI in many poses  ;  lyk  ✨ smiling  ,  eating icecream  ,  playing vt water  ,  holding her Teddy  ,  sleeping  ,  giggling   ,  laughing  ,  doing homework  ,  etc.........✨

As MANIK dint see NANDINI's childhood pics he dosent knw dat dey re NANDINI's pics.........

but after listening to what extent dey matter for each other  ;  he thought dat d pics must be of NANDINI's.........

He is adoring those pics......
M - How cute she is.......
She is indeed a PRINCESS......; MY PRINCESS.......; OUR PRINCESS......

his trance is broke by NANDINI's voice  ;  who jus came out of d shock........

N - yehhhhh...........yeh sab..........

She den lykd at Mr.MALHOTRA in astonishment , not able to believe her eyes.......

He jus blinked his eyes to confirm dat what is infront of her eyes is true.......

She jus ran to him n sprung in his arms n he happily took her in his embrace.......

N - im sorry.......
she said still sobbing.......

Ma - No BABY......
U dnt hav to say sorry.......
Actually im sorry......
I broke my promise na.......
Par abhi aisa nahin hoga.......
I won't leave u ever......

She broke d hug n asked in a childish  ,  sugary voice......
N - promishhhhh.......????

He cupped her face n wiped d tears vt his thumb n said  ,  planting a long kiss on her forehead.......

Ma - Promise.......

She became vry happy n again hugged him tight.......☺
Mr.MALHOTRA embraced her vt one hand n den spread another hand  eyeing MANIK  ,  signalling him to come n hug.......

MANIK immideately ran towards dem n hugged dem tight.......

It is a complete family hug......
Mr.MALHOTRA felt soo muchhh peace after sooo many yrs.......

△△△△△△△△△△△△△△△△△△△

Or should i say nine yrs......
after he lost contact vt NANDINI  ,  he never felt peace  ;  neither in his mind nor in his heart.......
Even though he had MANIK close to him after coming bak to india......
He felt happy but he never felt d peace  ;  he is having ryt now.......

But after sooo many yrs he felt d peace  ,  dat was lacking in his lyf ;  on having d 2lovelies  or should i say d 2halfs of his soul in his arms  ,  sooo close to him.......

He felt completed n silently prayed to god to keep dem safe n sound n give both of dem  al d happiness of d world........

△△△△△△△△△△△△△△△△△△△

Dey pulled a part n MANIK said smiling widely.......

M - DAD vo.......
I LUV NANDINI.......💟 😍
She is my GIRLFRND.......💑

He said d last two lines in one go......
NANDINI blushed  n.......😳

Mr.MALHOTRA chuckled n replied keeping his both arms on both their shoulders n walking out of d room.......

Ma - mujhe pata hain......

He paused n MANIK n NANDINI gave him questioning luk .......

Ma - are aise kya dekh rahe ho......
Tum donon jab se aye ho aur jaise tum donon behave kar rahe the ek dusre ke saath......

Vo dekh kar tho main kya chota bacha bhi samajh jata ki u both re in LUV.......💑

Both of dem smiled sheepishly n NANDINI blushed hard  remembering what al dey did  ,  forgetting abt Mr.MALHOTRA's presence........

Dey reached d living room n setteled themselves on a couch......

NANDINI sat vt Mr.MALHOTRA  ; keeping her head on his heart n wrapping her teeny - weeny hands around his waist n he wrapped one of his hands around her shoulder......

MANIK is jus watching d most adorable n d most lovable sight infront of him.....

He excused himself telling dat he vl be bak n Mr.MALHOTRA n NANDINI are talking sweet nothings......

Mostly NANDINI is talking  ;  she is telling him what al happened in last nine yrs  ,  in d absence of him in her lyf n Mr.MALHOTRA is listening to her carefully  ,  giving al his attention to her each n evry word.......

MANIK appeared after exactly 10mins.........
A servant along vt him vt a tray full of food......

D sevant arranged d food on d table opposite to d couch on which NANDINI n Mr.MALHOTRA are resting n left frm der......

Both of dem sat straight n gave a confused luk to MANIK on seeing d numerous no. of dishes in front of dem........

MANIK came n sat on d other side of NANDINI.........

M - aise kya dekh rahe ho donon.......?????

N - yeh sab kya hain?????

She asked raising her eyebrows.......

M - are yeh kya hain matlab.......

NANDINI is dumbstruck........
She is jus speechless.......

He clicked his fingers in front of her to bring her out of her trance.......

She came out of her trance n once lukd at d food lying infront of her n den at MANIK n den at Mr.MALHOTRA n again she lukd at MANIK n nodded her head in disbelief........

MANIK is luking at her in confusion but  Mr.MALHOTRA is giggling watching her expressions as he knows what is coming nxt.......
