Manan were sitting on couch,Manik hid his face in nandini's neck and nandini was caressing his hair giving him much needed peace. Nandini told Manik about myrah and he was stressed out. His baby was feeling all this and he didn't had a single idea.

Manik-(lying in same position) Nandini

Nandini-hmm?

Manik- are we all lacking as parents? I mean, first Karan, then Varun and now myrah. We don't even know about aarav, what if he too is going through something? Why the hell all our kids are so good in hiding their emotions?

Nandini (chuckling)- cause they have got your genes Mr Malhotra. Just like you don't show your vulnerable side, in the same way they too hide their emotions.

Manik-(murmuring) and I absolutely hate this fact.

Nandini (sighing)- tbh...I really don't know Manik, everything is just slipping out of our hands. Karan was suffering, infact he is still suffering but the only difference is he don't show it now. Myrah thinks that we are ignoring her, Varun is dealing with his own shits, diya has just lost her parents and aarav? Well God knows what all is going on in his mind. Then aradhya and Mrudula... both are my sweet intelligent babies but sometimes they too need someone na?

Manik- you know what? We should talk with each child individually. Everyone of us, I'll call ram,ishita bhabhi and Abhi today...then we can discuss all this.

Nandini-hmm, I think you are right.

Manik(pulling her closer)- nowwww, concentrate on me Mrs Malhotra.

Nandini-(smiling) okay, tell me what should I do?

Manik didn't say anything just kiss her on her lips making her smile. After having enough they broke the kiss and joined their foreheads.

Manik-(closing his eyes) it's been so long since we have enjoy our alone time.

Nandini- yess, but being parents is not an easy job na and all the things go around are not helping at all.

Manik-hmmm...... I'm scared Nandini.

Nandini- about what?

Manik-that I'm not being a good father to my kids. I hurted Karan even though I wanted to protect him but still I ended up pushing him in darkness and now even myrah is upset with me. I'm making soo many mistakes.

Nandini-( cupping his cheeks) we....we are making mistakes Manik. And it's okay, it's not like we were born parents right? Everyone of us is allowed to make mistakes. It's human nature. The important thing is we are learning from them. We are correcting them. Don't be upset please...we will be alright very soon.

Even though Nandini was making Manik understand still she was also thinking same. How she is not being a good mother, how she is not being a perfect mother or should I say a perfect person which she used to be.

Manik- (getting up suddenly) let's go.

Nandini-(confusingly) where?

Manik- we will pick myruh from her school,and then will pick your monsters then we all will go to some nice restaurant and spend some nice time together.

Nandini (glaring) my babies are not monster,you are!

Manik fake laughed and went out making bad face to which nandini followed him smilingly.

Reaching the school they went inside to pick myrah up as it was already time for school to get over. Myrah who was waiting with her friends for her both brothers smiles happily seeing her parents.

Manik smilingly went towards her and picked her up.

Manik-(walking out of class with nandini besides him) how's my baby?

Myrah-(making angry pout)- baby is gussa.

Nandini (smiling naughtily)- ohooo this is big issue Manik, we have to solve it anyhow.

Manik-(playing along) yes yes, but what can we do to make our princes happy?

Myrah who was looking other side smiles mischievously. She knew it's her time to rule over her parents and she is going to get lot's of chocolates and ice-cream.

Nandini-(looking at myrah) how about 2 big packets of chocolates and one tub of ice cream and nice lunch and attending a carnival?

Myrah-(excitingly shouting) done done, myruh Will melt after this.

Manik-(pulling her nose lightly) you sure?

Myrah- yesh Yesh very sureeee.

By now they were sitting inside car and Manik was going to start his car when myrah stopped him.

Myrah-(pouting) papajii what about karan bhaiyu and aarav bhaiyu?

Nandini- baby we are going to pick them up only.

Myrah-(nodding her head in no) mummajii karan bhaiyu said he will come to pick me up. He must be on his way only.

Manik(leaning back) okay, then let's wait for your monkey brothers.

Nandini giggles while myrah said- only Aaru bhaiyu is monkey, Karan bhaiyu is like you papaji. He is exact copy of yours.

Saying this myrah giigles and nandini laughs. Whereas Manik just smiles. That's true Karan is exact copy of him, the way he talks,the way he reacts, the way he walks... everything is just same as Manik.

Myrah-(looking in front shouting) bhaiyuuuuuu!

Manik-(opening his side of door) princess they won't be able to listen from here, I'll go and get them.

Manik said this and went out when he saw karan coming out from his car and walking towards school gate. He was just going to enter when a voice stopped him. He turned back and saw manik coming near him. He was confused but nevertheless walked towards him.

Karan-(confused) aap yaha? ( You here)

Manik- yeah, came to pick princess up. Nandini is inside the car too. We all planning to go for lunch... let's go?

Karan- fight sorted?

Manik-(sheepishly) yeahhh...umm are you angry?

Karan(giving him small smile)- noo, I understand. Infact no one is. Everyone is sitting inside the car, you tell me the hotel's name, we will reach there.

Manik- okay,cool reach at Mannat hotel.

Karan nodded and both went towards their respective car.

Karan sat inside and aarav who was busy looking at his phone said- how was your day Princess?

Karan-(in a girly voice) it was good temple guy.

Everyone giigles and aarav looked up to see everyone laughing looking at him. He looked around and myrah was not there so he glared at karan who give him sweet innocent smile.

Aarav-(glaring) I hate you.

Karan (hugging him)- but I loveeeeeeee youuuuuu.

Everyone was laughing looking at brother duo while aarav made a really bad face but from inside he was smiling. He was content. Why not? After all he got his buddy his bro back after wait of 8 long yrsss.

Aradhya (smiling)- jokes aside, bhai where is myrah?

Karan (starting his car)- mom dad is here, myrah is coming with them only and we all are going hotel for lunch.

Mrudula (giggling)- trying to manofy myrah?

Karan-(smilingly) yeahh

Aarav-(sarcastically)- fight sorted?

Karan-(laughing a bit)yesss

Varun- that's good but where are we going btw?

Karan- mannat hotel.

Aarav-(looking at karan) mannat?

Karan-(still driving) yeah..why?

Aarav-(small smile) nothing...they are our hotel only. Mom dad loves that hotel.

Mrudula (confused)- why? Anything special?

Aradhya (small smile)- when nandini aunty had miscarriage at myrah's time, they thought to name that baby mannat only. After  miscarriage Nandini aunty was devastated, so uncle made this hotel in the name of that baby girl only, on myrah's first birthday.

Everyone was silent after that, aarav was thinking how it would have been if he would have got 2 princess? Everyone else were sad for Malhotra family. Each member of that family had gone through alot of pain & sacrifice. But Karan? Well unknowingly aradhyaa's words triggered Karan, he was going deep in his thoughts. He was again back to square one,again he was blaming himself for all the miseries. But before things could go out of control varun played rock music in car which actually bring everyone out of their thoughts.

In all this they reached hotel and saw Manik's car already parked there. Seeing them coming out myrah ran towards karan and hugged his legs.

Karan picked her up smilingly and said- what's up Princess?

Myrah-(pouting sadly) bhaiyu why didn't you and arav bhaiyu came with me?

Aarav-(kissing her cheeks) sorry baby, next time okay?

Myrah(kissing him back)- okieee.

Karan- where is my kissy?

Myrah(kissing him) here.

Saying this she giigles whereas everyone else smiles looking at these cute siblings.

They reached inside  a VIP room and get seated. Myrah was sitting on Karan's lap. Aarav had his head on nandini's shoulder who was caressing his hair whereas aradhya was lying on Manik's one shoulder and Mrudula on another. Seeing them varun sat on nandini's left side making manik shift cause of which he scoffed at him but varun didn't give any damn to him and snuggle in Nandini who lovingly holds him.

Myrah was playing with Karan's shirt buttons and Karan was Patting her head with one hand and surfing through his mobile with another. Diya sat beside Karan and was looking at his phone.

Diya-what are you doing?

Karan-(looking up) nothing, just checking some mails.

Nandini (lovingly+ little sternly) karan,keep your phone aside beta. It's family time na. Both father son are same.

Karan-(keeping it aside) sorry maaa.

Manik (pouting)- why you always drags me in between?

Nandini (innocently)- cause I love you na manii.

Manik grinned hearing manii from her mouth to which younger clan laugh making nandini blush and manik glared at them.

Varun-(checking menu) guys, let's order fast then we have to go home too.

Aarav-(sitting straight) yeah yeah let's go. I have loads of work.

Nandini (confusingly)- wait a min. Are you guys busy?

Aradhya- yes aunty, actually we have 2 projects plus number of assignments to complete. Few of them have to be submitt by tomorrow only. Why?

Manik-(looking at all of them) we were planning to go in carnival but you all are busy......

Myrah made a really sad face but didn't said anything cause she knew they all are busy but both aarav and Karan noticed her. Aarav nudge manik and nandini and made them look at her.

Karan- mumma,papa do one thing, you both go with myrah we all will Join you guys next time. Okay baby?

He said last line looking at Myrah who was already looking at him.

Manik- (seeing myrah) yeah okay.... let's eat then we will go.

Nandini-(smiling) great, now come I'll help you in changing your clothes. Come come.

Myrah went in her arms and then Nandini went towards restroom Taking extra pair of clothes which she
brought with her for everyone.

Varun- myrah is just like nandini maa.

Everyone smiles but Manik smacked him from back and said- Mai Kya tujhe selfish lagta hun? ( Do I look selfish to you?)

All of them laughed and Varun hugged manik smiling innocently at him to which he ruffles his hair.
