CHAP 37:
Nandini was standing in front of malhotra mansion. Tears start flowing from her eyes. Arjun and aarav were looking at house very surprisingly. Manik looked at nandini and she also looked at him but manik turned his gaze and smiled at their excitement.
"papa apne bola tha hum sab ghal jaa rhe hai pal ye to koi badi shi hotel hai na hum yahan kyun aaye hai ghal nhi jayege abhi?" aarav asked manik innocently and manik closed his eyes to compose himself because he was feeling very bad that he couldn't give his kids what they deserve. Manik looked at nandini angrily and she looked down.
"baccha its not hotel its your house aapka ghar..ap dono ka ghar hamara ghar.." manik bend down to their level and said lovingly.
"yippeee...mommy suna aapne ye hamala ghal hai...yuhuuu.." arjun was jumping holding nandini's hand and aarav raised his arms and gesture manik to pick him up. Manik picked him up and aarav kissed on his cheek.
"I love you papa..you are the best.." aarav said with happy tone.
"accha ab andar chale bahar bahot thand hai" manik said and aarav and arjun nodded their head.
"mumma pick me up na dekho na papa ne aalav ko uthaya hai main nhi chaluga" arjun said in stubborn tone and nandini wiped her tears and picked him up. They start heading to house. With each step every memories of her with this house flashing in front of her eyes.
Manik stopped in front of main door and wait for her. Nandini stand beside him and they both put arjun and aarav down. manik ring the bell and inside everyone was running from here to there to see their last minute preparation. When manik ring the bell everyone gathered in front of main door. Nyonika went to her room to take her gifts for her grandsons.
Nandini was feeling very nervous because she don't have any idea that how everyone will behave with her? What everyone will think about her? How she will face everyone after long time?
Mukti opened the door and she saw nandini and tears brimmed in their eyes. Manik was standing there with cold expressions. Mukti aliya and navya in fraction of second jumped on nandini and hugged her tightly. Nandini also hugged them with so much love and cried. After long time she got support for her.
"ab bas bhi kro warna yahan flood aa jayega" cabir said to lighten the atmosphere. Girls separated from each other and smiled. Nandini went to cabir and cabir hugged her tightly and wiped his tears so no one can see his tears but everyone knew that how cabir was missing his baby sister. Abhi also engulfed her in his hug from back.
"we missed you so much" abhi and cabir mumbled and nandini smiled and they broke the hug.
"ab hume andar bhi aane doge yaan yahin pr apna pyar dikhaoge" manik said in stern and sarcastic tone. Aliya called the servant and ordered him to arrange pooja thali for them. suddenly they noticed that four eyes were peeping behind from manik.
"awww...look at the kids guys.." mukti exclaimed with joy. They both flinch because of her shout and hide behind manik. manik glared at her and mukti made a sorry face.
"tum logo ko apni "behan" ko pyar krne se fursat mile to tum log mere baccho ki taraf dekhoge na" manik said in serious tone. Everyone pleaded nandini to manaofy her kids to come out.
"aarav and arjun come out meri jaan dekho everyone is heer to meet you..you both are my good babies na" nandini was requesting them so lovingly and how could they ignore her mother's loving request. They very silently came out from manik's back side and smiled to everyone.
"baccha say hello to everyone" nandini gesture them to say hello and they obediently say hello and wave their hand to everyone.
"awww..." Every girls said because they were looking so cute. Manan was feeling so proud to their kids.
"guys its cold out side mere baccho ko thand lag jayegi let get us inside" manik said and Nyonika also came back with gifts. Servant also give her pooja thali. Manik picked them up in his arms. They both were whispering in his ears about his friends and manik was smiling. Nandini was waiting for dhruv but he didn't come to meet her. Aliya understood this but dint say anything because she doesn't want to spoil happiness.
Nyonika put their gifts on sofa and did arti of four of them. aarav and arjun's heads were on his shoulder. So they didn't notice Nyonika. Nandini bend down and touch her feet and Nyonika give blessings to her and hugged her and kissed her hair.
"oh my babies look at your grandmom" Nyonika said lovingly and both turned their head and before they could say anything manik entered in the house and nandini also entered with them. she was talking with girls.
manik put them down and they was about to jump on sofa but nandini show her eyes to them. they quietly stand beside manik. manik saw this and said "baccha you can do anything you want its your house koi tumhe ku6 bhi nhi kahega koi bhi nhi" manik glared at nandini.
arjun and aarav both looked at each other and they were about to ran but they saw Nyonika and arjun said "aap to wahi aunty hain na jo humse milne shimla aate the" everyone was so shocked including manik.
"abhi yahan ek manik malhotra naam ka toofan aayega jo sab ko uda kr le jayega, sab apne seat belt bandh ke beth jaye" cabir murmured to mukti and he sat on sofa. Manik looked at Nyonika and she looked down. manik closed his eyes in anger but he controlled himself.
"albert...come here now" manik called his servant.
"arjun and aarav ko unke toys room dikhao jao..." manik ordered him and arjun and aarav ran to nandini and held her fingers.
"momma plshh aaap bhi chalo na" aarav said and pulled her but nandini bend to their level and whispered lovingly "baccha aap jake dekho mumma abhi aaate hai aapke pass okay?" and they both nodded and left from there. manik looked at Nyonika.
"maa what aarav was saying?" manik said in stern voice and nandini came near Nyonika.
"man..manik..aap ek baari.." nandini was about to say something but manik raised his hand and stopped her.
"maa I am asking you something?" manik asked her and everyone was very scared because of his anger.
"haan..aarav aur arjun sach keh rhe hai" Nyonika said in lower voice. Manik banged his hand on glass table with thud. Nandini shivered at her place.
"why? Why? Why? You lied..you broke my trust..maa aap sab janti thi sab ku6 phir bhi you lied phir bhi aapne chupaya" manik said in sad tone because he was thinking that he betrayed by his two most important women. Nyonika came near him and held his hand.
"ek baar meri baat sun lo baccha..let me explain at least" Nyonika was pleading him but manik doesn't want to listen any explanation.
"no I don't want to listen anything..aap ki koi bhi explanation iss baat ko mukra nhi skti k aapne muje dhokha diya..aapne muje mere baccho se door rakha iss baat ki koi safai aap de hi nhi skti" manik shouted on his top of the voice. Nandini wants to take side of Nyonika but cabir gesture her to stay quite.
"manik pls ek baar sun to le k aunty kya bolna chahte hain" cabir tried to make him understand but manik was so angry because of nandini and Nyonika.
"you know what cabir main na ab ku6 sun na hi nhi chahta jante ho kyun? kyun ki ab muje koi fark hi nhi padta..muje mere bacche mil gye ab muje kisi se ku6 nhi sun na ku6 bhi nhi" manik said last line glaring to nandini and Nyonika.
Aarav and arjun were running on corridor to coming down. nandini wiped her tears and manik also composed himself.
"arjun be careful baccha" nandini said from down because aarav was coming down very slowly with holding finger of maid When arjun was not listening her. He was on last step where his hand slip and because of that antic piece was on table fell on floor with thud and shattered in small small pieces. Everyone palmed their ears.
Arjun covered her eyes because he knows that nandini was looking at him. manik rushed to him and checking him and said "are you okay baccha?" but arjun was looking at nandini who was glaring at him.
"I told you na to walk slowly dekha kya kiya aapne?" nandini said angrily she was about to say something more but manik looked at her and gesture her to keep quite.
"its ok beta its your house tum jo chahe wo kr skte ho koi tumhe ku6 bhi nhi karega na hi ku6 kahega koi bhi not even your mother" manik said and aarav and both jumped on him and manik picked them up. Everyone was smiling because after long time manik was happy. Though he is angry with nandini but still now nandini is back so everything will be good.
Arjun and aarav drag nandini to their room. arjun and aarav has special toy room but manik don't want to even leave them for one second and he knew that they are very small and they can't sleep without nandini so he arranged everything in his bedroom. Everyone went to their home. Nyonika went to study room of manik to talk to him.
Nandini was standing in front their room. Every memories of their love, fights, tears everything. nandini was controlling herself not to cry. Nandini opened the door and saw that room was not like their old room. manik changed everything not a single photo of nandini was hanging on wall. Their marriage photo was not also there. all interior was only black and white. There is a small cupboard for arjun and aarav and all corners were full of their toys only. They were showing her toys but nandini was watching room only.
She composed herself and sat on bed and traced her fingers on bed. arjun and aarav both sat beside her. Nandini take both of them in her lap and kissed their head.
"are you happy?" nandini asked them and they both nodded their head.
"accha ab hum kapde change kr lete hai okay.." nandini said and both of them hopped down from her lap. Nandini opened their luggage and changed their clothes. They were waiting for manik. after sometime manik came to the room. nandini was laying on bed with arjun and aarav. She was telling them story and they both looked at manik and immediately get up from bed and ran to him and hugged his knees. Manik sat on his knees and kissed them so many times.
Nandini was smiling after long time her kids get love of father. manik went to bathroom. Manik doesn't even once looked at nandini as if she don't exist for him it hurts her but she knew that she was at fault.
Manik came back and laying on bed with kids. Aarav was telling him about his favorite things and arjun was disturbing him. finally aarav went in nandini's lap and hide his face in her stomach and start his complaints about arjun. Arjun was laughing on him sitting on manik's stomach.
"mommy ice cleam khani hai" aarav said In low tone and when arjun heard name of ice cream his eyes twinkle like stars. Nandini glared at them and said "no baby no ice cream its night baccha and thand bhi to dekho"
Manik without wasting a second call his servant and ordered him to give ice cream to arjun and aarav.
"manik lekin.." nandini was about to say something.
"did I ask your opinion?" manik asked her and nandini felt so bad because of his rude behavior. after sometime servant came with ice cream. He put down the bowl on table and left from there. nandini saw that bowl was small not big. After all how manik can ignore his babies health.
Nandini was feeding them ice cream and they both were playing manik. nandini was constantly looking at manik. manik was also looking at her but corner of his eyes, but right now he wants only his sons nothing else. After sometime they both sleep because of tiredness. Manik was in balcony and he was smoking. Nandini was looking at him. manik turned and looked at her but in second he turned his gaze. He can't forgive her...he can't forget that she left him without any reason..he can't forget that she hide truth of their kids.
Nandini sleep beside aarav and he snuggled more in nandini. manik came to room and sleep beside arjun and he felt his father's warmth and snuggled in his chest. Manik smiled and pecked arjun and aarav's forehead and slept.
