After everyone went, Manik sighed in relief as finally he got his baby only for himself. He took her to bed and laid her down. He looked at her sleeping peacefully and made a pout thinking, "Humesa soyi rhti hai! I'm missing her! I'll wake her up! Kuch bhi ho!"

He tickled her neck but she pushed his hand away snuggling more on his chest. He nuzzled into her hair but then also she didn't woke up. Not finding any other way he poked her cheeks with his fingers.

"Uhnnn!", She whined.

"Utho na baby! Wake up na!", He whines back.

"Nahiiiiii!", She said and turned her back to him.

"Haww! Why nahhiii? Wake up!", He said and poked her cheeks again.

"Monstuuuu!!! Kya hai?", She scowled.

He smiled and pecked her lips, "Wake up! Bad mey so lena na! Itey din baad you're with me! I want to love you! Khub sara pyar! Khub sari kissi! Khub sara cuddle! Khub sara!", She giggled as he was giving his fishy kisses to her whole face.

"Monstu!", She giggled more and pushed his face away. Pouting Manik said, "You don't love me anymore! I don't like it! This is wrong!"

She giggled mkre and climbed on him and asked, "What is wrong?"

"This!", He said pointing to towards the tinny winny space between them and pulled her hands resulting her to fall on him, "Ab sahi hai! Huh! Ittey dino baad you're here or mery saath time bhi thik sey spend nhi kiya! Aur mujhey uss dusri ladki ek saath subah b utna padha aur raat mey b 2 gantey rhna padha!"

"What? You mean you slept with her jaisey you sleep with me! Wait, how dare you to peck her? No, no! How dare you?", She shouted and stood up.

"Baby! I had to do na! You know na I only love you! Agar main nhi karta toh ussey doubt ho jata!", He said as she pushed him hard when he tried to come close.

"Kuch b ho! What matters is ki you didn't maintain distance! Go and take bath! Now! I don't want her touch on you! Wait wait! Water won't remove it!", Saying she pushed him and sat straddling him.

She leaned on him and start sucking all his face, neck making him crazy. He holds her tightly and stops her, "No! Don't start it!"

She sat on his stomach and said, "You kissed her! And now you're not allowing me to kiss you! You don't love me! You're not my Monstu! I want my Monstu!"

She stood and about to run out of the room crying when he holds her. He hugs her tightly and kisses her cheeks, "Baby! Aisa nhi h jaan! I only love you! No one and nothing can change that! You're not in good health! Varna abhi tumhey main kabhi nhi aalag karta! Once you'll be healthy fir tum chahogi toh b main tumhey aalag nhi hone dunga!"

"But!", She pouted which he pecked, "Say you're mine!"

"Of course jaana! Sirf tumhra! Sirf meri Nanhi ka Monstu!", He showered her with kisses.

Giggling she pushed his face and said, "You'll get punishment!"

He chuckled and said, "Acha! Aur kya punishment h?"

She looked at him showing her battisi n said, "I bought couple clothes! Australia mey! You have to wear it!"

"Of course Jaan! Avi pehanuga! Show me!", He said smiling. She giggled and thought, "Ab mazza ayega! Monstu must be thinking the clothes as couple t-shirt! Ab punishment jhelo! Huh! I have to do something about that girl! How dare she kiss my Monstu?"

Finding her lost he shook her and said, "Kaha hai! Tell me! I'll take it out!"

"Arey nhi! Main kar rhi hu na! But promise me you'll wear it whole day! You won't change jab tak main na bolu!"

"Of course baby! But office mey bahar nhi jaa skta! You know the situation na!"

She nodded and happily went to the cupboard where her bags were kept.

She took out the clothes and told him, "Go wear it!"

He looked at the clothes and said, "You're kidding, right?"

"No!"

"Baby! This? Seriously?"

"Yes! Seriously!"

"Nooo! Baby! Look at it I mean--"

She cried cutting him off, "See! You don't love me anymore! Mera monstu aisa nhi krta!"

"Fine! I'm wearing it! Emotional blackmail kar k har kaam karwa leti ho!"

"Jo b h!", She flipped her hair in attitude and took her dress to wear it.

Manik came out with a bad face. Looking at him she started laughing her heart out which reflected on his face too.

Chasing her he said, "Bhaut hassi aa rhi h na! Avi batata hu!"

She ran around the room but he caught her and tickled her.

Their moment was disturbed by a call.

He frowned as it was from Cabir.

"Manik! Open the door!"

"Tu abhi toh gaya tha! Wapas kyu aa gya!", He replied as he stood to open the door.

"Manik baba! It's more than an hour! Above all you--", he couldn't complete as Manik opened the door and looking at him Cabir started laughing.

"Wait! Yeh tuney kya pehna h?", He continued to laugh while Manik made a bad face.

"Aiyee!!", Nandini shouted and threw a pillow on his face for which he was not at all prepared for it so it landed directly on his face. Laughing, Manik went to her and said, "Good job baby! High five!"

Giggling they high five but Manik holds her hand and pulled her in his arms whispering, "I love you!"

She pecked his lips and replied, "I love you too!"

Both of them were busy in their own world when out of nowhere a flying pillow landed on Nandini's face.

"What the hell!", Manik shouted and rubbed her face hiding her in his arms.

"Cabir! What's wrong with you!", He said as he cupped her face and asked her, "Lagi toh nhi mera baby?"

She nodded in no and spread her arms to pick her up which he happily did.

"Nothing is wrong with me! But if this continues toh tery saath galat hoga! And about that pillow then high five! Mera nishana kitna perfect h na?", He praised himself extending his hand for high five. But looking at his glare pulled it back.

Manik sat taking Nandini in his lap and said kissing his baby's fingers, "What happened? Kya baat hai? Sidhey sidhey bolega!"

"Sidhey sabdo mein kahun toh Manik Malhotra! Aap toh purey din romance mey busy rahgey toh apko yaad dila dun ki apka business aur ek band hai! Aur aaj fab5 ki recording hai! Before that wo Aggarwal k saath meeting hai about the new contract! And above all apki baby ki duplicate aka nakli Nandu is in home! Issey pehly wo suspicious ho jaye at least call her once! Because the plan to expose her still has some time left!"

"Damn! Meeting and recordings! How can I forget!" Manik said holding his forehead while Nandini was busy in sticking herself to him and kissing his cheeks.

"Din dong! Finally you got to know! Toh agar aapka romance ho gya ho toh go and get ready! Vaisey teri baby ko dekh kar lag nhi rha tujhey choregi jiss tarah khuley mey tujhey chat rhi hai!", Cabir laughed as Manik was busy checking his mobile but Nanidni was sitting in his lap kissing his cheeks and lips.

"Cabir! Not now!"

"Main kya kar rha hun! Ussey rok na!"

Manik smiled and said, "Jaan! Main ready ho kar aata hun! Meetings important hai main jaldi sey kaam khatm kar k aa jaunga!"

She made a bad face and said, "Mujhey bhi jaana hai! Mujhey nhi rahna yaha akley!"

Both men sighed as they also know that she can't stay alone but the meetings were also important.

"Nandu! Jab tak Manik meeting attend karta hai tab tak I'll be here! After that we'll call Harshad recording k baad Manik aa jayega!", Cabir said and pecking her lips Manik stood.

He went to change while sat beside her using his phone.

Grumpy Nandu was sitting looking at Manik with puppy eyes who was taking his clothes out from the emergency cupboard. He was well aware of her puppy eyes. Sighing he turned and pecked her pout whispering, "Mera jaan! Bas kuch gantey!"

She nodded playing with the bedsheet. Smiling he again kissed her forehead and ruffling her hairs lovingly went to change.

Nandini slid closer to Cabir and poked his arms, "Kya kar rhey ho Bhai aap?"

Cabir looked at her raising his eyebrows playfully asked, "Nandu! Hospital mey toh samaj aata hai you were emotional but ab toh we're back to normal toh itni ijzat kaisey nikal rahi h tery andar sey?"

"Aisa nahi hai! Aap mery favourite ho!"

"Acha! Trip par janey sey pehly toh Abhi tera favourite tha!"

She smiled sheepishly and said,"Arey uss din unhoney dosa khilaney ka promise kiya tha! Jarurat k hisab sey pasand bhi badalti hai!"

Laughing he took her in side hug and said, "Chalo! I'll teach you few things in your mobile taki yeh jo teri mob bhulney ki adaat hai wo nhi hogi!"

"Why? Apko magic aata hai?", She asked with twinkling eyes. Manik came out at that moment and looked both sibling busy in talking something.

Her eyes were twinkling with happiness which made me so happy that he went to corner of bed and suddenly gave a tight kiss on her cheeks.

"Kya hai monstu! Let me concentrate!", She whined but Manik again gave kiss to cheek.

"Mera bacha!", He said and laughed at her annoyed face.

"Aap bolo bhai! Do you know magic?"

"Magic mujhey nahi Dhruv ko aati hai but wo baad mey! Pehly let me show you some games!", Cabir said and introduced Pubg to her. She looked at it and liked the game, "Main khelungi ab!"

"Tu apney mob sey khelna! Hum dono team bana kar khelngey!", Cabir said and nodding Nandini went to Manik who was setting his hair looking at the mirror.

She hugged his waist from back, "Monstu!"

He pulled her in front and asked pecking her nose, "Kya hua? Kya chahiye mera baby ko?"

"Mobile! Pubg khelna hai!"

He pulled out her phone from his pocket and gave her, "Install it!"

She nodded and kissing his cheeks ran back to bed. She put it on download when found Cabir scrolling through his Instagram feed.

"Yeh kya kar rhey ho aap, Bhai?", She asked him.

"Instagram! Social networking site! Ruk tujhey apni profile dikhata hun!", He showed her his profile which fascinated her.

"Monstu ka bhi hai account?"

"Of course!", He said and she nodded in understanding.

Manik who was all ready came to her said spreading his arms, "Hop on bunny!"

She giggled and hopped in his arms hugging him tightly while he showered kisses on her face and fingers.

"I'll come soon! Padai karna tab tak aap! You have exams in two weeks!"

"Monstu!", She said playing with his shirt button.

Laughing on her cuteness he kissed her near earlobe asked, "Kya chaiye?"

"Apna mobile do na!"

"Mera? Apka fone diya toh mainey!"

"Nahi! Aaj k liye tum mera phone le lo! Aur main tumhra! Please!", She looked at him with puppy eyes which shined with unshed tears.

"No! No emotional blackmail! Dey rha hun main! Rona nahi!", He said strictly and gave her his mobile.

Keeping her back on bed he said, " Chalo! Ab main jata hun! Jaldi sey aa jaunga and I want you to complete the last chapter of Pharmacognocy jo subah mainey bola tha complete krney ko! Okay?"

(A/n- Pharmacognocy is a subject of B. Pharma)

Without looking at him she nodded and said as she opened PUBG in his mobile, "Haa! Haa! Bas ek game k baad!"

"Cabir! Make sure tery recording par aaney sey pehly yeh padhna start kar dey!"

"Haa, Manik! Bachi nhi h wo! Topper h apney batch ki! Kar legi complete!", He said looking at his mobile, "Request accept kar Nandu!"

"Yaha par sey?", She asked as both sibling continued to play Pubg ignoring Manik. Sighing he again kissed her hairs and left patting her cheeks.

"Ready kar ready kar!", It was last he heard when he was leaving the room.

After he left they played for an hour then Cabir said, "Chal ek gantey sey khel rhi h! Band kar aur padhney baith!"

"Nahiiiii!! Avi toh Instagram sikhao mereko!"

"Acha! Yeh dekh!"

He showed her Manik's profile.

She looked at the profile where he had uploaded pics with his co-actors.

"Yeh sab kon hai?"

"Yeh sab toh Manik ki co-actors hai! Yeh toh Nisha ki release hai Mukti k saath! This one is with Anmol! And she is Aria! She is Shakti and she is Prerna Bajaj! Inn sab pata hai tujhey Prerna aur Manik ki jodi ko bahut pasand kiya jata hai! Aur baki toh teri hai pics! Saala itna kamina hai Manik ki Instagram par teri hi pics dalata tha though tujhey wo uss time rag karta tha! Tujhey pata hai when we used ask toh bolta tha ki sns par uskey followers ko pata chalna chiye! Aur yeh wali post sab ney pucha tha yeh kis baby ki pic toh bolta tha Soha ki! But later we got to know jab you got married ki teri pic hai!", Cabir said but her mind wqs struck on one thing that is Prerna Bajaj.

His mobile rang breaking their thoughts.

"Mukti is calling! Nandu it's time for jamming! Tu padhna start kar main aur Manik teen-chaar gantey mey wapas aayengey! Wait main Harshad ko call kar deta hun!"

He was about to call Harshad when she shouted, "No!"

Raising his eyebrows he said, "Okay! What's cooking? Itna hyper kyu ho rhi?"

"Vo.. main.. mujhey padhna hai! Haa! Toh main akley padhungi! Haa.! Aap jao!!"

"Pakka na?"

"Haa! Haa! Mereko ek baat bataogey? Yeh apki itni handsome pics click kon karta hai?"

"Ohh! Our personal photographer Shashank! Par tu kyu puch rhi suddenly?"

"Aviney! Aap reality mey itney achey dikhtey nhi ho isliye!", She said and shows her tongue.

"Badmash! Aata hun wapas fir batata hun!", He said and kissed her forehead.

"Door lock kar lo! Aur kahi mat jaana bahar! Start studying! Okay?"

"Haa haa thik h na!", She said scrolling in Manik's mobile.

"Nandu! Lock karo door!"

She sighed and said, "Saara kaam mujh hi karna hota! Ab kadhey kya ho jao!"

As he went she got a call with name baby.

"Yeh kon hai?"

She picked the call.

"Hello?", She questioned.

"Baby! Kaisa hai mera baby? Cabir chala gaya? Harshad aaya?"

"Ohh! Monstu!", She sheepishly smiled on her stupidity as she realized that they had exchanged the mobile.

"Haa babu! Kich hua kya? Main aa jau?", He said worriedly.

"Nahi nahi! Main padh rhi! Main Cabir Bhai ko maana kiya Harshad Bhai ko call karney sey! Mujhey padhna hai!"

"Acha okay! Don't open the door unless you get a call from us. Not even if any of us send you a msg! Go study aur thkdey thodey der par pani piti rahna! Bhook lagey toh call me! I'll figure out to send something for you!"

"Ok Monstu! Bub-bye!"

"Bye! I love you!"

"I love you too!", She said and disconnected the call.

She went to his contacts and searched for Shashank. She called him.

"Hello! Manik sir!"

"Vo main Nanhi I mean Nandini bol rhi hun! Manik's wife!"

"Ma'am? You called? Kuch kaam tha?"

"Haa.! Vo actually vo... I want... I mean.. photoshoot..! Mujhey photoshoot karwana hai! Aaj! Within half an hour...!"

"Yes ma'am why not! It would be my pleasure agar I will click your pics! Toh main Manan Mansion aau yaa aap aa rhi hai shoot k liye?"

"Nahi! Nahi! Main aa rhi hun! Send me your address!"

"Okay! Ma'am then I'm sending you the address! Call me in case you find difficulty to find the address!"

"Okay! Thank you!"

She disconnected the call and went to get ready in excitement.
