"Im not gonna sleep with you!Main baba jani k paas nini kalungi!" Manahil spoke with a straight face,standing near window facing the window glass.

I rolled my eyes at her while making the bedsheet.

Atitude aaj kal kuch ziada hi nhi hogya iska?

After that hateful encounter with him i didn't step out from my room all day but Manahil was out,ofcourse playing with her newly introduced father,chachus and mamus.
And when she came into the room finally missing me i locked the room door.Since then she is standing near window and repeating the same line again and again.

"Manahil if you are done tou ab sone aaogi aap?"Standing behind her i cupped my waist speaking sternly but she didn't turn.

"Im not gonna sleep with you!Main baba jani k sath hi nini kalungi!"She spoke stubbornly in the same tone and i rubbed my forehead in frustration.

"Manahil enough now!Come and sleep!"I spoke angrily and was about to pick her up from back when she ran towards closed door.

"Baba jani!Baba jani!"Tapping the door with her little palms she shouted and my eyes widened.

"Manahil!" Gritting her name between my teeth i stomped towards her and picked her up from behind by wrapping my one arm around her stomach and other was busy clamping her mouth.

"Mmmmmm!" She literally bounced in my arms and i held her more tightly while laying on bed and the door was knocked.

I closed my eyes in tiredness and Manahil bit my palm to get her mouth free.

"Ouch minno!"I looked at her with unbelievable eyes jerking my palm back and she grinned,"Melay baba jani aa gaye!"She shook her head at me while giving me a triumphant yet teasing grin and before i could even glare at her she jumped out of my arms running towards the door.

"Baba jani!"She tapped the door and nuzzled her nose in it as it was the frozen glass door so the shade of one standing outside could be seen very easily.

"Ji jaani!"Her father sat on his knees outside poking his nose too into the glass.

"Mama jani ne dalwaza lock kal diya hai!Mughe aapke paas nini kalni hai!"She pouted and i stood up from bed sighing.

"Manahil aap kahin nhi ja rahi!Bas aao sone der ho rahi hai!"I spoke seriously walking towards her.

"Nhi i dont wanna sleep with you!Main baba jani k sath hi nini kalungi!"She spoke angrily without turning and i groaned inwardly.

Pta nhi kis par chli gayi hai ye!Ek baat dimag main ghus gayi tou ab kuch nhi sunegi!

"Baba jani!"She shouted happily breaking my thoughts and my eyes widened seeing him entering in the room.He winked at me and i gave him a hazardous look.

"How did you come in?Dalwaza tou andal se lock tha na baba!"Manahil tapped her forefinger on her chin while narrowing her eyes at her father and he picked her up in his arms.

"Aese!"He flashed a cheeky grin while showing her key and Manahil looked totally flat on him.With the corner of my eyes i glanced at him and he winked at me once again leaving me more angered.

Kameenapan barh gaya hai shayad!

"Haaye baba jani tussi kinne smalt ho!"She cupped her father's cheek totally flattered and i rolled my eyes before going towards bed and switching off the lights.

"Im sleeping Manahil!"I announced and covered myself properly with the quilt.

"Hum bhi so hi lahe hain!"Manahil spoke in the same tone and i heard his soft chuckle.

"Chalein baba jani lets sleep!"She spoke and i clutched the quilt tight to my chest.My hearbeats fastened as i felt bed behind me sinking because of his weight.

"Mama jani!"She called me lovingly but i didn't turn.

I know she wants my hair thats why she was calling me.

I closed my eyes tight feeling them scooting closer to me.

Manahil clutched my hair from behind but left my hair in another second.

"Mama jani!"She shook my shoulder being narked and i turned reluctantly towards her side because i knew now she will start crying if she wont get what she wanted.

My eyes fell on him and feeling him so close,churned uncountable knots in pit of my stomach.

"Mama jani aap idhal soyein na,meli setting nhi ban lahi!"She was on the verge of crying and when my eyes located her finger which was on his chest they widened.
I glanced at him in horror and he averted his eyes immediately.

"Minno!Come!Aapko baal chahiye na!"I opened my arms asking her to come close to me but she shook her head hastily.Currently she was sitting in between of us.

"No!I wanna sleep on baba jani's alm,aap yahan aayein!" She again poked his chest and i licked my lip worriedly.He was quiet perhaps he was feeling awkward too.

"Minno,dekho ye rahe mama k baal!Aao meri jaan!"I tried to coax her after gathering my all hair infront,trying to get her caged in greed.

"Nhi na!"She cried with drowsy eyes and i closed my eyes,hissing

"Aa jao!"I heard his faint whisper and my lashes opened apart.With nervous eyes he gestured me to come close to him and i moved my eyes away immediately.

"Manahil!Aao mama apko poem sunaiye?Meri guriya poem sunegi?"I held Manahil's palm and pulled her in my arms forcefully.

She started crying more while wriggling in my hold.
"Nhi!Baba jani!"She cried harder and he came closer to us taking Manahil from my arms,amidst all this his fingers brushed against my chest and i flinched which he noticed.

"Ssshh Manahil!"He took Manahil in his arms but she continued to cry.

"Aao!"Without any hesitation he ordered me to climb up on his chest and i furrowed my brows at him.

"Maine tumhe bola tha na meri beti ki ankhon main ansoon nhi ana chahiye!" He whispered sternly and i felt so helpless at that time.

"Minno!See mama is coming here!Now stop crying!"He tapped Manahil's back lovingly and Manahil moved her face out from his chest.

She sniffed sitting back on bed making way for me to climb up on his chest.

She looked at me with teary eyes and i forced a tight smile at her.

Bohot zid barh gayi hai Manahil aapki!

"Jaldi na!"She shrilled and i glared at her before going closer to him.I closed my eyes as soon as my nose smelled his magical scent.Clutching his shirt over his shoulder i climbed up on his chest and our bodies whimpered together feeling each other's arms.My eyes blurred with tears in no moment and i turned my face on other side with closed eyes before pushing my hair back so that Manahil could clutch them easily.

"Ye hui na baat!"Manahil squealed happily and rested down laying her head on her father's arm while clutching my hair,with her thumb in her mouth.

Silent tears kept rolling down my chin wetting his white t-shirt beneath.

Phir wohi baahein,wohi dharkanein,Phir wohi agosh,wohi raahatein!
Ae ashiqui tera zulm hai mugh pe,maine jahan se phirna chaha tune wahin badal li karwatein!

Unknowingly i twisted my lips and pressed a deceitful kiss on his chest.He wrapped his arm around my waist and
I raised my head up at him.He was crying.My hand cupped Manahil's palm removing it from my hair softly.Thank goodness she left my hair before turning on other side, sucking her thumb.

I pursed my lips controlling innumerable blubs which threatened to escape my mouth and scooted down from his chest,taking steps towards door briskly.

But before i could open the door he clutched my tummy and twirled me back.Before i could even push him he held my palms and pushed me on the wall beside.

I turned my face on other side and he sniffed his light stubble must've turned wet because of his tears.

"I hate you!"He whispered hoarsely amidst his tears and i lowered my eyes crying hard.

"Be-panah nafrat hai mughe tumse!"He entwined our fingers more intensely at the wall.

"Mughe aapki mohabbat chahiye bhi nhi!"With low eyes i whispered and he dug his nails harder in my knuckles making me close my teary eyes in pain.

"Main bhi taras nhi raha tumse mohabbat karne k liye!Meri zindagi ki sab se bari galti hi tumse mohabbat karna thi!" He growled lowly and my eyes shot up at him listening so much hateful words from his mouth.

"Tou phir kyon aayein hain aap?Chale jayein yahan se!"I snapped at him.The words which he uttered before made me angry like anything.

"Tumhare liye nhi aya main!Im here for my daughter!"He hissed,glowering at me and i pursed my lips angrily.

"Haan tou le jaiye apni beti ko apne sath!Nhi chahiye mughe aapki koi bhi nishani apne paas!"I shouted at him hysterically forgetting about a sleeping Manahil and he looked at me with more angry eyes.

"Tum..."Before he could shout at me back a squirming Manahil caught our attention.

"Mama jani!"She cried loudly in sleep and i pushed him before running towards her.

"Ji Minno!Ye rahi mama!"I sat on bed and took her in my laps hurriedly.She cried harder and raised her little palm towards her father,"Ba..ba...!"

I looked up at him and he licked his lips,after shaking his head letting tears sprinkle from his eyes he walked towards us and took Manahil from my arms.

"Ji meri chand si guriya!"He kissed her cheek as Manahil snuffled while wrapping her arms around his neck.

He strolled in room with Manahil in his arms muttering sweet words in her ear,making her fall asleep again.I laid back on bed,staring at them unkowingly falling into a sleep too.

In sleep i felt bed beside me crinkling as he laid Manahil there after making her sleep.She clutched my hair in her deep sleep and i turned towards her,wrapping my arms around her,pressing her face in my chest delicately.

He kissed Manahil's cheek and his eyes fell upon me.Closing his eyes he pecked my cheek too when his lips quivered, "Manik ki jaan!"

I squinted my eyes feeling wetness on my cheek and he moved back instantly,turning to exit the room.

"Habibi!"I clutched his pinky finger in my sleep and he turned back with a jerk.

"I love you Habibi!"I confessed my love for him in my sleep with a smile and he closed his teary eyes before jerking my palm.

"I dont love you!" A whisper echoed in my ears piercing my heart into pieces.He left the room and i opened my eyes.

"Yhi tou sunna tha mughe!"I smiled widely but soon tears escaped from my eyes and i buried my face in my daughter's little neck.

Somewhere outside the room a man chuckled,"Tumhe kia lagta hai band ankhon se tum mughe azmaa lo gi!Aashiq hn tumhara,chaar saal se aese hi nhi bhikari bana phir raha tha main!"Shaking his head smilingly he wiped his tears and left for his room which was beside my room only.
