India (Present)

"So you do this" Manik showed Avni and Arav the wrist moment

"And the character copies it" he points the screen which showed the character they were making for the game

"What if we make the character personalise?" Avni said

"Like the one who is playing is not just able to select make or female but also how it will look, body size, shape, color, eye color, hair...."

"Ohhhh I know that game, Barbie makeover challenge" Arav interrupted her and both glared at each other

"Ok Tom and Jerry" Manik warned

"You people are just arguing since morning what the fuck is wrong with you" he asked both

"It's nothing" Avni dismissed it

"Fine" Manik let go

"So now you make a research on should we customize the character or not we go according to research" Manik ordered as they looked at each other

"Fine you make presentation supporting your sides the one who will be able to convince me will get it" Manik said seeing them ready to be slashing each other's neck

"I'll win this" Arav said determined and Avni rolled her eyes

"We'll see" she said and took her tab and move out of the lab

The next two hours both didn't disturb Manik and just an hour before lunch they came and stood before Manik

"So?" Manik asked, he would always work in vest and tracks in the lab and even Arav and Avni would do the same

"She wins" Arav said before Avni could speak and Manik raised his eyebrow questioning

"There is a article research from one of your first intern on the blog website of Malhotras about it and I rechecked every factor the intern is right, he had inspected about it already" Arav stated Manik showing the article which bring smile on Manik's face and he looked at Avni

"She" he said and Arav looked confused

"Hu?" he said

"It wasn't a he but she" Manik corrected him closing the tab and giving the tab to him

"Help Avni to program it" Manik said and contiuned working with the peice he was working on

"Challe" Arav geatured by his hand and Avni and him walked to the corner working to program the character

"It's Lunch" Keren announced

"Boss Nandini Ma'am asked to remind you of food and medicine" she added

Manik got up and walked to Avni

"You follow" Manik ordered and then walked to his cabin Avni following him

"What is it?" She asked softly

"You are doing lunch with me and leaving from here after you take medicine and only then you leave my cabin, it's decided" Manik said

"And who decides it?" Avni asked

"I" Manik said and pointed the chair

Agni rolled her eyes and sat as someone came in with a plate of healthy food

"And what about my food?" she asked

"I'll eat that" Manik said and she looked at him shocked

"Hey Manik Bhai" Sahil entered his cabin knocking

"Can we join to?" He entered with Arav tiffin in their hands

Arav gave Avni her tiffin which she passed to Manik

Manik opened the tiffin as the boys looked at him

"You can have your food stop eyeing mine" Manik said dishing for himself the boys sat and started to eat their food

"Hmm....nice...where do you order it from?" Manik asked licking his fingers

"Aaahh... Manik sir.... Agni cooks her own food" Arav said making Manik choke

Agni was on her toes trying to calm him when he was normal she gave him water

"Aap thik hai?" she asked concerned

"Yes" he said and looked at her

"You cook?" he asked amazed

"Cook Kya Manik bhai she baked too... It's tasty and yum you should eat it all" Sahil said excited

"Wow!" he looked at the food and then packed the tiffin.

Avni saw his actions, Manik took a paper and scribbled something. He excused himself with the tiffin and the paper

"Nikhil" he calls one of the employee

"Yes Sir?"

"Give this to my driver and get a roti and sabji for me the canteen

"Right away sir" Nikhil left following the orders

Nandini was almost done with her lunch when Manik's driver entered with a tiffin box and a note

He handed Nandini the note

"Dear wifey, jhuta kahne se pyar badta hai, but this is full of LOVE! Our daughter made it"

Nandini took the tiffin and eat whatever Manik had left for her making extra space in her stomach relishing the food

Avni was done with her work in office so she went to Oberio Mansion as she knew Advay would be there

She was playing with the kids and painting with them. Advay was very naughty he would run around the place with colorful hands

He ran with color clad hands in the living room and Avni following her

"Advay" she called as the little boy giggled and ran, he banged with someone and the person's pants were all clad with colors

"Aiyyappa" Nandini and Avni said together making Advay laugh

"Mumma, Dida same same" he commented making them both laugh

"Kya kiya" Avni said kneeling to him

"Advay wants fun" Advay said giggling

"No masti Little one, ha?" she picked Advay

"You can clean I'll take care of him" she said to Nandini though it wasn't like before it wasn't rude too

Nandini nooded and left to clean her pants

Avni carried Advay in her arms as they both giggled to how Advay was spoiling her face with the colors she made Advay sit on the kitchen platform and cleaned his hands and then dried it with the napkin she put him down

"Go and do your drawings and no masti haan" she said a bit stern but the boy dan giggling

She walked to one of the rooms and went to the bathroom and started cleaning her face

"You are going to be a good mother" she heard a voice near her ear and that made her jump, she was washing her face, her eyes were closed yet she knew the person

"Hu?" She turned facing Arav

"You cleaned him in the kitchen sink so that his height doesn't cause him any trouble in the bathrooms snik which are heighted as compared to it which has a platform around" he said folding his hands looking at her with smile

"You are really smart" he commented

"Thanks" she gave him a smile

"My kids are going to be lucky" he added casually

"What?" she asked confused

"Oh sorry our kids are going to be lucky" he said

"What!" she exclaimed her jaw touching the ground

Arav closed her mouth as she open and closed her mouth like a fish, trying to say something

Arav was out of the bathroom chuckling and the same time Manik with Nandini entered the room to freshen up and saw Arav and seconds later Avni coming from the same bathroom Arav came from

Nandini looked at AvRav and then at Manik who was smoking steam from his ears

"Yaha kya kar rahe ho tum?" Manik asked Arav

"Woh mein Arohi ko pick karne aaya tha" Arav answered casually

"Toh Arohi kya bathroom mein hai?" Manik asked taking steps towards him and instead of Arav, Avni in reflex took steps back and then gave a pleading look to Nandini

"Did you tried to chock her in water?" Manik asked Arav a Big loudly

"What?!" Arav, Nandini and Avni said together

"Then why is her face and hairs are all wet?" Manik asked pointing to Avni's face and hairs and Nandini rolled her eyes

"I was washing my face" Avni replied this time in 'duh' tone

"Toh yeh kya face wash leke khada tha?" Manik asked sneering over Arav with narrowed eyes who looked a bit scared now

"Aah Uncle Manik"

"Uncle hoga tera Baap!" Manik tried to punch him but Nanidni came in between

"Manik!"

"Uss maine bheja tha, wo tumhare beta usne isko mara aur iske upar rang dal diye toh Avni was helping him getting clean... Yes .... Haan" Nandini said

"Toh Avni kyu face clean kar rahi thi?" Manik asked

"Yaar mein bhul gai this iss monster ke pass dimag hai" Nandini muttered to himself

"Because iska rang saaf karte karte wo mujh pad chad gaya" Avni added the story

"Haan?" Arav asked confused

"Haan!" Nandini showed him eyes

"Say haan" Avni whispered to him

"Haan" he agreed to the ladies

"Haan" Avni and Nandini said together giving Manik cute smiles

"Mere shakal pe kya 'C' likha hai?" Manik asked them and the three looked at each other

"Tum apne rang apne pass rakho" Manik said taking threatening steps towards Arav

"Avni par chadhane ki koi jarotat nahi hai"

"Aaa...aa... Arav tumhe Shivay sir bula rahe hai go go" Avni said

"Haan haan maine bhi suna" Nandini said and geatured him to run

"Haan Abhi aaya.... Abhi aaya" the poor confused soul ran saving his life

"Mujhe bhi Anika Di bula rahi hai" Nandini said seeing Manik glare at her

"Aur mujhe bahut sara kaam hai" Avni said dramatically as Manik narrowed his eyes on her and both left to save their necks
