Manik pov

Kitna kuch ho gaya yaar !! Nandu ke reaction was expected though with mom dad and all of us but with me...it was different..like she is behaving a bit weirdly coz jo nandu thi jab tak main manik tha woh meri wahi angel thi...par...as soon as she got to know that i am her captain then though her eyes shined brightly and expressed her happiness but when we were made to stand beside each other she was standing as if i am a stranger !! Is it because now she is feeling conscious about our being wife and husband as till now she thought me as a good friend !! God !! Should I be happy that she never fell for manik or be sad that now I need to again start from zero ?? Pleasee goddd !!! I am so done with this being away from her...I can't anymore !! Understand me and let her be at some middle but not from beginning !! Uff !! Abhi ke liye let me sleep coz pata nahin subah subah kya drama chalu hoga as papa and angel under same roof is not a good sign !!

Morning

Everyone woke up and did their morning chores...they all reached living room in their casual wear as today it's saturday....when they reached down they heard counting going on and looked at each other in confusion as what's going on !! Sound was coming from porch hence they all moved outside the main door and are shocked to see the scenario...

Yes !! Nandu is riding on raj's back as he is doing push ups !! Though they are used to this from their childhood but never expected it to be repeated as they thought now they are grown up but whom they are saying as grown up as when these two are together they become 5 years old !! Suddenly nandu sat with her legs on either side and started to pull his hair making him scream as he is not lifting her much up !!

Raj(screaming):ahhh !! Chudaill !! Chodh mere baal ko !! I will kill you !!

Saying so he turned sideways and nandu fell down on her bump !!

Nandu(rubbing her bum):ouch !! Boyfriend !!!

Raj started to laugh while nandu stood up pouting but soon smirked as she remembered something !!

Nandu:Aww !! Sorry bff !! Bhul gayi thi ki ab tu old ho gaya hai na....so...I can understand !! No problem !! Hota hai !! Ab aapki itni capacity nahin na ki aap mujhe utha sakhe !!

Raj(smirking):oh really !! Par jaha tak main jaanta hoon tu moti huyi hai !! Dekhi aapne aapko mirror mein...poori ki poori choti elephant lag rahi hai !!

Nandu(shocked):hawww !!! Maa dekho na papa ko !! Main aapko bhi mothi dikhti hoon ??

Nyo(smiling):aww !! Bilkul nahin bacha !! Meri nandu toh cute hai !! Jisne bhi tujhe motha kaha na uske aankhon mein sight hoga !! Chalo !! Hum dono milke breakfast karlete hai !!

Nandu hugged her tightly and showed her tongue to raj who waved it off with his hands and followed them with other three as that mother and daughter duo already left inside and they will not be able to eat if they are not on time !! They all settled down on dining table and nyo started to feed nandu with her own hands while nandu chatted as usual with everyone except manik which even he noticed and he is trying his level best to initiate a talk with her !! Everyone in family are noticing their indifferent behaviour but choose to be away from their issue and let them solve it on their own !! Nyo saw navya looking at them and shifted her seat with nandu as navya was beside nandu...she placed a bite in navya's mouth !!

Nyo(caressing her hair):I am sorry beta !! Maine jaane anjaane mein tujhe ignore kiya...I didn't do this deliberately...woh kya hai na nandu ko itne dino baad dekha na toh kuch aur dikh nahin raha uske saamne...main kabhi bhi tum dono mein differentiate nahin karungi !!! You need not feel insecure !!

Navya(holding nyo hand near her cheeks):maa !! Main aapko kabhi galat nahin le sakti hoon !! I have seen nandu craving for you and your love when we were in school and jab woh yaha aayi thi...maine aapko bhi dekha missing her...cabir ko dekha getting lost in her thoughts !! I love you all so much and we are a family...maanti hoon ki I am an outsider but jo heart connection aap logon se hai aur khaash kar nandu se...she is like a baby to me so even if you guys really be partial towards her phir bhi I will never mind !! But aap log kabhi aisa nahin karenge...infact I am waiting to pamper her par philhaal ke liye I am leaving it on you guys !! Karlo jitna karna hai...ek baar mere mood swings start honge toh sab mere peeche padhenge !!

Everyone started to laugh while nyo hugged them both from her either side !! She was so worried that navya might feel insecure as till now she was the only one who got pampered in this house being the only girl of this house and on top of that she is pregnant now which will wish a lot of attention from her loved ones and she might feel insecure easily !! They finished their breakfast and settled in living room to chat for a while but navya wanted to watch a movie...as she can move freely they agreed to go and thought they will have some family time !! Everyone got ready and reached the best mall as per Malhotra men record !!

Mall

They all entered inside and went through movies list but guess girls have already decided something as they are looking at each other and signalling something !! Men looked at each others face and turned to their respective partners who are now waiting for their attention !!

Raj:soo kaunsi movie dekhe ??

Nandu(excited):padmaavath !!

Boys(shocked):Whatt ???

Girls(folding hands near chest):Whatt !!????

Boys(mumbling):nothing !!

Manbir just turned towards counter and went to bring tickets as they thought they are gonna look some english movie and some action one but they forgot that they thought to watch such movies with these ladies who love romantic ones !! Raj is standing quietly thanking his sons as they didn't tagged him along but soon cursed them as nyo dragged him near food counter while girls followed them !!

Nyo:kaunsi flavour krushers chahiye girls ??

Nandu:red velvet !!

Navya:strawberry...I guess ??

Nyo(confused):you guess ?? Is baby wishing something else ??

Navya(beaming):yes maa !! I guess he don't want strawberry !!

Raj:How can you be so sure beta that baby is he ??

Navya(placing a hand on her stomach):I have a feeling papa !!

Raj(caressing her hair):Hope so beta !! Would you like to try mello jello milkshake ?? Cabir likes it !!

Navya nodded in no !! They are thinking about which flavour might baby liked when suddenly nandu shouted startling them !!

Nandu(excited):Blue berry !!!

Navya's eyes beamed in happiness as baby liked it !! Nyo quickly placed the order and gave her flavour too !!

Navya(smiling):kaise guess kiya nandu ??

Nandu(smirking):bahut simple tha navu !! You said that you are feeling it might be a boy and jaha tak mujhe yaad hain bade papa used to like blue berries a lot and we used to.....

She suddenly choked on her words as she missed him alot !! Navya was a little bit confused as she don't know anything about cabir's parents as he never remembered them much may be due to the love nyo and raj showed on him !! Nandu hugged raj sideways and buried her face in his chest....nyo looked at navya's face and understood what she was going through....meanwhile manbir too came back with tickets but got confused on looking at the scenario !!

Nyo : Nandu is too close to bhaisaab I mean cabir's dad !! Nandu used to call them bade papa and bademaa and she is their doll !! Pata hai navya agar Raj nandu ka crime partner hai toh vishnu bhai unke plan ka designer aur Raman bhaisaab unke savior !! Aisa nahin ki Ishitha di strict hai par unka kehna hai ki bacho se todha strict rehna hai kabhi kabhi par nahin !! Jab yeh 6 log saath mein milthe hai toh koyi kuch nahin kar sakte as bahut shaitaan bante hai aur inke team ka lead hai nandu !!

Navya(shocked):nandu ?? Humari pyaari si boli bhaali si nandu ??

Nyo(laughing):iska yeh innocent sa face hi toh hai unki protective shield !! Main batati hoon ek incident !!

Past(nyo words)

It was summer holidays and as usual cabir and his parents came to India !! At that time nandu was 5 years old,manik 7 and cabir 12 !! Nandu likes red velvet flavor a lot and di was an expert in making red velvet cake...they reached by afternoon and as usual nandu asked her to make her cake as she don't know that she will be tired due to journey and no one can say no to her wish as she was such a doll to all of us !! Di too happily agreed to it and started to prepare...we offered help but she denied as she never like someone interfering between her and her princess wishes !! She prepared the cake and made flavor for icing...she came out as she left cake in fridge to cool down and flavor on counter !! Nandu reached kitchen to check on her cake and she found icing on counter...she got confused and called manik to find cake...he thought for a while and checked fridge and found it in freezer !! Nandu was small at that time but manik too was small so they used a stool to reach till freezer but his height was not enough so he stood on his toes...cake was a little deep so he had to try hard and finally when cake was near the edge it slipped from his hand and fell on the counter beside the fridge which resulted in icing bowl to fall down and cabir rushed inside kitchen to check on them as he knew they were inside !! When he saw the entire scene he understood what might have happened as cake is broken and icing is almost on floor !! Cabir asked them to go out and stood there as di was coming into kitchen...as soon as she saw entire scenario she got to know what actually happened but as she was tired she got angry on cabir and asked him explanation to which he told that he wanted to do it himself for nandu...she didn't wanted to get angry on him but he could have waited for her or asked any elders to take it out...she told him the same and cabir was just standing with his head down !! She was about to continue more when she heard nandu cry !!

Nandu(crying):bademaaa !!!!!!

Di looked at her and was shocked to see nandu who is standing beside manik while he is holding her from her arms !!

Di(reaching near nandu):hayee rabba !! Yeh kya hogaya tujhe bacha !! Kaise laga ??

Nandu(crying):woh...main aapse milne garden se aa rahi thi toh slip hogayi aur mud hole mein gir gayi !!

Di(caressing her face):awww !! Koyi nahin chalo main tujhe bath karwati hoon !!

She carried nandu in her arms and left to her room...they both played for about 30 minutes and she too took a hot shower along with nandu...may be that relaxed her nerves as she was all smiling and laughing while they came down !! They reached kitchen area and she was cool with cake and all....infact she was all set to make another cake but nandu took the bowl in which we placed the broken cake and added icing to it with a spoon mixed them a little and started to feed each family member a spoon...she finally reached di !!

Nandu(batting her eye lashes):bademaa !! Cake bahut yummy hai !! Taste karo na ??

Di smiled and kissed her forehead !! Nandu fed her too and they both left from there getting lost in their cute talks and we had to follow them to show that we are present there itself !!

Past ends

Nyo:godd !! That day was too cute !! Kisine notice hi nahin kiya ki kaise cabir ne manan ko bachaya aur nandu ne apne bhai ko !! Kabhi bhi apne bhai ko akhela nahin chodti thi...itna pyaar hai usse !!

By now nandu is hugging cabir and they both looked at each other !! Cabir winked at nandu and she understood what he wants her to do...nandu quietly bought a pastry and came near nyo...she stood infront of her and took a bite in a spoon and extended towards nyo !!

Nandu(cutely):maa !! Cake bahut yummy hai...taste karo na !!

Nyo laughed amidst tears and took her bite and made nandu eat then nandu fed navya and others !! They all felt content and left to movie hall as it was time for the movie to get started !!

Happy women's day to all my lovely ladies and beautiful girls !! Let's hope to create a future which we always wished for and strive hard for it !!
