Manan (excitedly): Hover board, my hover board.

Nandini (smiles): Yes, your hover board.

Manan ran and hugged her and also kissed her cheek. Nandini too kisses his cheek with at most affection.

Nandini: so how is the gist? Did you like it?

Manan (looking at the gift): I loved it. It is better than the other one. Thanks mom.

Nandini: Thank you is not needed. It is my duty to keep my son and also spoil him with a lot of gifts. Come let's sleep now. We will try this tomorrow.

Manan: as you wish. I'll keep it in the cupboard.

Manan kept the board back in the box and then places it inside the cupboard Nandini lies on the bed and waits for Manan. Manan jumps on the bed and lies beside Nandini. Nandini raps her right arm around his shoulder and side hugs him. Manan was busy playing with Nandini's hair.

Nandini: so what did you do today?

Manan (stammers in fear): wh...at...d...do....you mean.....b...by....that.

Nandini: you think I am dumb. I know that you know what I am asking. See you are even stammering.

Manan: nothing serious mom.

Nandini: Nothing serious? FAB8 is talking about ketchup & egg mixed shampoo and you are saying it's not serious.

Manan: kuch cheezen bolne se accha he na bolna. You will get to know about it at the right time. Waise, if you will see those enemies of your's, will you forgive them?

Nandini: I don't know son. I will forgive the ones who were not involved but the others have to pass through you to win my heart as you are the key to my heart, always.

Manan: so you will give chance for the others also.

Nandini: they will have to win you then they might get me. Anyways, why all of a sudden this question.

Manan: it just came to my mind so thought of asking you about the same. Anyways, good night mom.

Nandini (while kissing his forehead): good night son.

THE NEXT DAY

The next day went all good among Nandini, FAB8, Manan and the other kids. FAB8 started composing songs. Nandini would at times come during the session and check on their progress. Even at dinner went well but a little nok jhok was there.

There was something new growing in all their lives. Something that would change the past for good. Manan started interacting with Mukthi, Cabir, Abhimanyu and Aryaman as Nandini told that she would forgive them. But for the rest, it was a really though time with Manan.

NANDINI'S ROOM 10:00PM

Both Nandini and Manan were sitting on the bed. Nandini was on her laptop and Manan was on his phone. He locked his phone but remembered to check his messages. So he opened it once again and suddenly his eyes fell on the date written. Horror was written on his face. Tomorrow was an important day for his mother. He had to do something about it.

Manan: mom, can I have your phone? I want to check the photos you have taken during Lucky Uncle's marriage.

Nandini without looking at him, hands over the phone to him.

Do whatever you want but before that you will have to set my alarm at 6:00am tomorrow.

Manan nodded his head but didn't do what she had instructed as he didn't want to wake her up the next day. After a few minutes closed the laptop and laid down beside Manan.

Manan: mom, can I ask you something?

Nandini: don't ask me those emotional questions of yours that you did yesterday.

Manan: nothing of that sort. Do you have anything important at office tomorrow? Any meeting or site visit?

Nandini: nothing much, I have a meeting with my subordinates. I can cancel it also as it is not important for me to attend. What happened, any problem?

Manan: actually our teachers are having their mentoring session tomorrow, so we have a holiday. If you could come after lunch?

Nandini: fine then, I will not attend that meeting. I will come early and we'll go out. Okay?

Manan (smiles widely): fine, come let's sleep.

Manan's plan worked of getting her at home tomorrow. Now he had to do certain things for her that would ultimately bring a smile on her face the next day.

WHAT IS THE OCCASION?
