After a month

In this one month, Mukti and Abhi have come closer to each other. They are still staying together as Abhi didn't give divorce to her and he never regretted his decision. A few days back, he had been caught in a fraud case and he thought that nobody would support him and trust him but Mukti did and also helped him in coming out of this problem. From that day he has started developing feelings for her. He started seeing her goodness and how much she has changed. She cares for him the way nobody had ever cared for him before. Eventually, he realised that he has fallen in love with her. Now he is waiting for the right time to confess his feelings to her.

And Manan in this month has formed their new world with Khushi. She has become their source of happiness and peace. Now their every day starts with her and ends with her. They adopted her legally when the police found that her parents were killed in the riots. Nandini can now breastfeed the little doll after the treatment. The treatment was painful but she can take any pain for her because she has become her world now.

Manan are taking bath with their little princess in the bathtub. Nandini is sitting on Manik's lap and Khushi is in her Mumma's arms, she is playing with the water joyfully. Manik is placing soft kisses on her neck and massaging her twins, Nandini is gently and softly rubbing Khushi's body and she is talking to them in her language.

"Baby, you know what our little Princess is saying to us?" She asked, raising her brows.

"What?"

"Papa, you're so shameless that you're romancing with Mumma in front of me." She said teasingly and laughed.

"Yes, your daddy is shameless." He said naughtily and pinched her nipples, making her scream. Khushi is just playing with the water, having no clue what's going on here.

"You know, your Mumma is irresistible, so it's not my fault." Now he slid his hand between her thighs into the water and started rubbing her vigorously.

She moaned loudly and Khushi stared at her Mumma worriedly.

"Sweetheart, look our Princess has become worried for you, so keep quiet." He whispered in her ear, still doing his work. Nandini stared at him with pleading eyes, asking him to stop through her eyes.

"Baby, please, stop." She implored and then only Khushi splashed the water over her daddy and saved her Mumma from her naughty Daddy's sweet torture. Nandini laughed out.

"Hehe.. haha..." Khushi tittered, joining her Mumma.

"Thank you, my doll for protecting me from your over romantic Daddy." She kissed Khushi's cheek and she clapped her hands in response. They both smiled at her blissfully.

"Our doll is a quick learner and she is so smart. We're proud of you." She praised her and kissed her hand.

"She is smart and intelligent like her Mumma." Manik praised her and nuzzled her neck, making her giggle. Khushi also laughed merrily.

Khushi is playing in her mumma's arms, hair-styler is making her hairstyle and beauticians are doing her makeup. She is sitting in the bathrobe. Today is a very important day for Manan as today Manik is going to introduce Nandini as his wife and Khushi as his daughter in front of the whole world. He has thrown a huge party. Media and all the celebrities will be presented at the today's party.

"Hey, beautiful ladies." Manik stepped into the room and they both looked at them with a winsome smile on their face.

He strolled to them and first kissed both of their cheeks. Nandini blushed while all the other girls giggled and walked out of the room.

"Nervous?" He asked, she shook her head and stood up, holding Khushi in her arms.

"I'm not nervous because you're with me. I know I don't have to worry about anything until you're with me." She said with full confidence and he pecked her lips. She pecked his lips two times in response while Khushi stared at them with an adorable pout.

"I have a surprise for you." As he told her, her eyes glinted with excitement.

"Really! I love surprises." She squealed cheerily and hugged him, sandwiching Khushi in between them.

"Aeee..." she cried out, trying to come out and Nandini pulled away.

"Haha... we're sorry, doll." Nandini said and then they together kissed her cheeks. She laughed and clapped her hands happily.

Nandini and Khushi wore the same pink and white frock, looking super cute. Manik is just gazing at them in astonishment.

"Both of you're looking so pretty and adorable today. I'm blessed to have you both in my life. You both are my world." He sucked Nandini's lips before placing a soft kiss on Khushi's cheek.

Abhi and Mukti stepped into the room with a smile on their face. Their faces are glowing because of their happiness and love.

"You both are looking super cute." Mukti complimented them, catching their attention.

Abhi and Manik gave a smile to each other and then Abhi placed a kiss on Khushi's cheek.

"Thank you, Mukti bhua." Nandini thanked Mukti in a babyish tone on her behalf.

"How're you, Cutiepie?" Mukti asked, caressing Khushi's cheek and she giggled delightfully, making everybody smile.

"Bhabhi, give her to me please." She requested.

"Of course, take her." As Nandini handover her to Mukti, she started crying loudly, holding out her arms to her and Manik.

"Khushi, bacha, she is your bhua. Don't cry." Nandini tried to calm her down, caressing her hair while Mukti is constantly rocking her in her arms but Khushi is squalling continuously because she wants to come back into her parents' arms.

As Manik took Khushi from Mukti, she instantly stopped crying like magic. Abhi pouted sadly and uttered, "that's so wrong. She doesn't come to anybody except you and Manik."

"Because our doll loves her parents so much." Nandini clasped Khushi's hand and placed a tender kiss on her tiny knuckles. She passed her adorable smile to her in response.

Manan went out while Abhi grabbed Mukti's hand and stopped her. She looked at him in confusion.

"What happened?" She asked him while he strolled to her.

"Mrs Mukti Kapoor, do you wanna have a baby of ours like Khushi?" He indirectly asked her whether she wants to proceed further in their marriage or not.

"Yes, I want to have a baby of ours because I love you, Abhi." She confessed while Abhi planted a lingering kiss on her lips after clasping her face.

"I love you, Mukti and I want to spend the rest of my life with you, forgetting about all the bad memories of our past." He finally confessed and a blissful smile flashed on her face.

"Me too and I love you so much. I'm glad that you gave me a second chance." Now she curled his fingers around his neck and kissed him chastely.

Manan came out with a blissful smile on their face. Khushi is in Manik's arms. Nandini held his arm and they started stepping downstairs. Now everyone's eyes are on them, some are praising them and a few girls are getting jealous seeing their Rockstar with someone else. The photographer started clicking their photos. They gazed at each other lovingly with a contented smile.

They reached downstairs and Manik started introducing her and their doll, Khushi to all the guests. She is a precious gift given by God to them who completed their life and took away their all sorrows and pain. She filled their life with immense happiness.

Everyone is praising her and their daughter. They can also see how much Manik has changed.

"I just come." Manik gave Khushi to Nandini and went somewhere.

Suddenly all the lights switched off and then the limelight fell over Manik. He is standing with a guitar, wearing the microphone and gazing at his Sweetheart, his eyes are filled with love.

"An innocent and a Kindest woman, who has become my God, this song is for her, this song is for you, Sweetheart," Manik said in the mike and she smiled broadly. Khushi also gave a winsome smile to her daddy, playing with the neckpiece of her Mumma.

(Haan hasi ban gaye
Haan nami ban gaye
Tum mere aasmaan
Meri zameen ban gaye (x2))

He started singing, gazing at her with love in his eyes. She is just beaming at him with sparkling eyes. He is saying to her that she has become his laughter, wetness of his eyes and also became his sky and earth.

(Haan hum badalne lage
Girne sambhalne lage
Jab se hai jaana tumhein
Teri ore chalne lage (x2))

Now he sang in his melodious voice, strolling to her, their eyes are fixed on each other. He is saying through his song that he started changing and coming close to her from the day he saw her.

(Har safar har jagah
Har kahin ban gaye
Maante thhe Khuda
Aur haan wahi ban gaye)

He held out his hand to her and Mukti took Khushi in her arms. Nandini held his hand, smiling at him. Now he is saying to her that she has become his everything and his God.

(Haan hansi ban gaye
Haan nami ban gaye
Tum mere aasmaan
Meri zameen ban gaye (x2))

He led her to the centre of the hall. He held her waist with one hand and held her hand with his other hand while she placed her free hand on his chest. They danced gracefully with the rhythm of the song, looking deeply into each other eyes. Khushi clapped her hands with joy, seeing her Mumma and Papa dancing so beautiful.

(Pehchaante hi nahi ab log tanha mujhe
Meri nigaahon mein bhi hai dhoondte wo tujhe
Pehchaante hi nahi ab log tanha mujhe
Meri nigaahon mein bhi hai dhoondte wo tujhe
Hum the dhoondhte jisey wo kami ban gaye
Tum mere ishq ki sar-zameen ban gaye)

They are slowly dancing, gazing at each otter. He is dancing, holding her waist and her both hands are placed on his chest. He is expressing all his feelings through this song. He is saying to her that now people don't recognize him when he is alone , they even look for her in his eyes. She was a missing part of his life, she completed him.

(Haan hasi ban gaye
Haan nami ban gaye
Tum mere aasmaan
Meri zameen ban gaye (x2)
O.. aa...)

He held her waist from behind and slightly lifted her before twirling her. Everyone is mesmerised seeing the gorgeous and breathtakingly beautiful couple.

Manik placed her down on the floor, finishing the song. She just hugged him tightly, smiling with utter contentment, he embraced her in his arms, smiling like her. They both got lost in each other peaceful arms, forgetting about the whole world.

They came on the earth back as they heard a big round of applause. They pulled apart, smiling shyly.

"Thank you, Mukti." Abhi suddenly uttered and Mukti looked at him in confusion.

"Because you stopped me from separating them and breaking their true and pure relationship." He said, looking at Manan and Mukti smiled at them.

"Thank you so much." He again thanked her, looking back at her and she just smiled at him.

"Today, I want to do a big announcement." Manik suddenly uttered, making everybody confused.

"Today, I'm going to propose my sweetheart again to marry me." He announced and everyone gave another round of applause while Nandini palmed her mouth and her eyes widened in surprise. She understood that this is the surprise which he was talking about.

He knelt and held her hand after taking out a diamond ring from his pocket. "Will you marry with this Monster again, my sweetheart?" He proposed her and her eyes brimmed with tears. He made her speechless by proposing her like this in front of everyone.

"Bhabhi, say yes." Mukti shouted, strolling to her but she is so stunned to react even.

"Nandini, say yes or else his knees get hurt." Cabir said in a fun tone, making everybody laugh. Manik pouted at her pleadingly like a baby.

"Yee.. yee.." Khushi also asked her Daddy to say yes in her language.

"Say yes, Nandini." Now everyone said in unison.

Nandini held his shoulder and made him stand up. She finally said cheerily, "yes," while hugging him tightly.

After a few seconds, as they pulled apart, Manik lifted her from the floor by holding her waist and twirled her. She laughed happily, opening her arms and he just beamed at her. She is on cloud nine and he is happy because she is happy.

He placed her down and slid the ring down her finger. He brought her hand closer to his mouth and gently kissed her knuckles. She blushed, moving her eyelashes down and the room filled with one more round of applause.
