It's been more than 10 days  Nandini, Maira and Aryaman left New York and are back in their country India. In these days Aryaman is hell busy with the work.

Where as Nandini just helped him here and there. Some few days back she had to face her cruel sister-in-law. Maira is full on busy in her games and playing with her Kalu!

But still she never forgets to ask about Manik making Nandini tongue tied and her heart plays the role of beating fast and her mind never stops thinking of him.

"Mummaa!!!!" Shouted Maira making Nandini run outside in the living room.

"Kya hua?" She asked but seeing Aryaman chasing her she sighed.

"Aryaman bacche ho kya?"

"Ofcourse kisko bada hona hai. Buddha nahi banana mujhe." He said picking Maira in his arms.

"Acha tell me what you have cooked?"

"I'm not giving you food. Khudka ghar chod ke yahan aaye ho koi kaam dhanda nahi hai kya?" She said moving back into the kitchen. He pouted and looked at Maira.

"See, your mumma isn't giving me food." Maira frowned and later pulled his hair making him yell in pain.

"Ah! Jungli billi." He mumbled and left her down on the floor. He moved to help Nandini in setting the dinning table.

"Acha Nandini. Parso Manik yahan aa raha hai. So I was thinking to stay here only with you. Mere ghar mein kuch renovation ka kaam chal raha hai." Aryaman said placing the plate.

Nandini stopped in her tracks listening his words. 

"Manik is coming here. He is going to stay here with us, in my house." Nandini thought in her mind and a small smile formed on her lips making Aryaman frown.

"Oye madam. What are you thinking? I asked whether I can stay here?"

"Huh? Haan.. ofcourse tumhe puchne ki jarurat bhi nahi hai. Acha after having lunch I'll clean the guest room. Tum apna saman leke aana." Saying so she settled calling out for Maira and so did Aryaman.

Newyork

Manik was lying down on the bed after his packing. Tomorrow afternoon he will be leaving to India so he was all ready. But his mind and heart was somewhere else.

Mr. Brown/Manik's dad came inside to see him all lost. He sat beside him and asked

"What are you thinking Manik?"

"Dad...." Manik called him and stared at him for few seconds and asked

"Is it really possible to fall in love with someone in a short time?"

"Did you fall in love? With whom? Who is she?" He asked desperately making Manik whine

"Dad! C'mon. Just tell me na. Is it possible?" Mr. Brown sighed and said taking a deep breath smiling at his mother's picture which hung on the wall.

"It is possible my son. You don't know, sometimes it becomes irresistible to not to think of that person. Sometimes you don't want to think but your mind and heart just doesn't stop. But you know in the short span of time people can just fall for that right person sometimes ha, but they realise it really late. Which can be regretful. So I'm telling Manik whoever it is make sure to tell her about your love understood?"

Manik smiled and bobbed his head.

"So, ready to go?" Mr. Brown asked standing beside his luggage to which he gave him sheepish smile making Mr. Squeeze his eyes closer.

"Is the girl by any chance in India?"

"Ohh! Dad! Enough I just asked because I wanted to know it's not like I love someone...and now please go to sleep. It's already late. I don't want you to come tomorrow morning telling me that I have a headache." Manik said pushing his dad.

"Waah bhai waah! Dhakke maar maar ke nikalega baap ko. Abhi se yahi chalu hai bhaisaab ka." Mr. Brown mumbled under his breath making Manik frown because it was all audible to him but lack of hindi made him confuse.

"Dad? What are you saying?"

Mr. Brown looked at him and gave him a tight smile.

"Nothing. Good night. And yeah, do enjoy your dreams with your girl." Teasing him he left from there making Manik chuckle and lay down back on the bed.

After few minutes he took his phone and scrolled to his gallery and opened the pic of Nandini and Maira.

(Something like this)

He smiled to himself and mumbling good night he went to a good deep sleep.

Arriving Day, Airport, Mumbai.

Manik came out of the airport only to see lot of crowd. Not knowing where to, he checked around as he knew Aryaman will come to pick up.

Finally spotting him, he waved his hand. Aryaman came smiling and hugged him tightly.

"Ahh! Finally! How does it feel in India?" Aryman asked to which he chuckled and replied

"Agh! It's good. But a bit hot. Anyways, I'm dead tired let's go." Bobbing his head they move towards the car. Aryaman opened the back door and got Maira out from there. Seeing her Manik was surprised.

"Omg! Who is this?" Manik said picking her up who giggled hugging him.

"How are you baby girl? Missed me?" Manik asked again pecking her cheeks.

"Bahut shara (sara)" She opened her arms wide telling him how much shep missed. But Manik didn't understand the words but he did understand the action. Giggling at her he looked Aryaman who closed the door after putting the luggage.

"She came with me because Nandini isn't home. She had important meeting to attend on behalf of me. And Maira knew about your arrival so she tagged me along." Manik made a 'oh' face and settled inside the car with Maira on his lap.

"Flend! Eat.." She forwarded her hand which had diarymilk given by Aryaman while on the way.

"No baby, you have." She pouted and continued to havd it. Manik chuckled and pecked her head lightly.

"Oh! I forgot to tell you. You will be staying at Nandini's place." Listening him Manik snapped his head towards him in shock.

"What do you mean?"

"Arey! I meant you, and also me. Because my house is under renovation and Nandini's house is closer to the area which we will looking and working on." Aryaman clarified himself making him agree to it and concentrate on the nature and Maira.

How was it?
