After a year,

Manik was busy working in his laptop and Nandini came with a broad smile seeing him.

"Manik..." She called while he just hmmed in response.

"Manik...I wanna tell u something...listen na.." She said while taking the laptop from his hands which irritated Manik and he shouted "Are u mad..??? Can't u wait for sometime...?? Out..now..."

She already tears but controlled and came out of the room and straight away went to kitchen and started placing all the utensils very rude in manner so that Manik could hear all the sounds and understand that she is upset.

Nyonika, by seeing Nandini since a year, understood that Manik might have shouted or they might have got into some argument which they will sort out with time.

After few minutes, he heard the sounds and realized that he shouted. He took a deep breath and headed towards kitchen and saw her making a pout and cooking something.

"Nandu..." He called and she huffed.

"Acha sorry baba..." He said holding his ears. Tears came out from her eyes and she said while wiping her nose "What did I ask..?? I just asked your 2 mins...Can't u spare that time also..??? Why u shouted on me..??Huh...?? By this time I would have told what I wanted to tell... U scared me Manik..."

He smiled seeing her red nose and puffy cheeks, he cupped her one cheek with his right hand and caressed it saying "Sorry love...Now tell me what u wanted to tell.."

She looked at him with tears and took his hand from her cheek and placed it on her stomach and smiled bending her head down while Manik stood there in shock.

"Are u serious..??" Manik took a minute to ask that question and she nodded her head in a yes.

He hugged her tightly saying "Thank you..Thank you soooo much nandu...."

He started kissing her forehead and cheeks, wiping her tears.

After three months,

It's fifth month for Nandini.

"Nandu...Bahut ho gayi teri nautanki...Ab chalo dhoodh peeyo...." Nyonika tried to make her drink milk but Nandini, being a stubborn soul, nodded in a no.

"Manik ko aane dho...He'll see you..." Nyonika tried scaring her but she made a pout face.

Just then Manik arrived and saw Nandini and Nyonika and the glass of milk and he immediately understood what's going on.

"Aa gaya tu...!!? I can't make ur wife drink this milk...ab tu hi samjhaoo.." Nyonika said while Manik looked at Nandini angrily and she made a scared face.

"Pyaar se..." Nyonika whispered before Manik scolded Nandini. He sighed and moved towards her after Nyonika left.

He silently placed his lips on hers for a minute and then separated himself from her. He cupped her face with one hand and placed the other on her stomach and said "Waiting for this na...!!???"

She nodded and hugged him while he made her drink milk.

Two months later,

"Nandu...I'm putting fruits here...U should finish everything by the time I return...Samjhi..??" Manik said in a tone of warning.

"Jii..." She nodded obediently.

"Hmm...Orders dhe kar gaya..!???" Nyonika teased after Manik left.

"Dhekhiye na Maa....Who will eat all these in a day...??Aapka beta pura pagal hai..." She said making a face.

"Aisa nahi kehthe beta....It's good for ur health and for baby...Now start..."Nyonika said handing over the plate to Nandini and she kept the plate on her stomach and started MISSION FRUITS.

In the evening, while she was cartoon show, she saw Navya happily chatting with someone on her mobile and Nandini can easily trace out that it could be someone special, by seeing the blush and smile on Navya's face.

"Navya..." She called her.

"Haa Bhabhi..." Navya replied putting the phone aside.

"If u don't mind, can u get a glass of water..Please..." She asked politely.

"Ha Bhabhi..Abhi layi..." Navya nodded and went to get water and just then her phone rang making Nandini shock seeing the caller ID.

She acted like she didn't see the ID and called "Navya...Ur phone is ringing...Jaldi aao..."

She came running and got relieved that Nandini didn't answer the call.

"Haa..Aap dho min nahi rukh sakthe kya...?? Bhabhi called me..That's why I didn't reply...haa Mein theek hu..." Navya was explaining slowly and Nandini was keenly listening her conversation.

"I need to talk to Manik.." Nandini decided.

At night, In Manik's room

She kept her head on his chest while he was caressing her bump.

"Manik....Kuch kahu..??" She asked.

"Arey waahh...This is the first time u r taking permission to talk..!!!" he chuckled.

She hit his chest and said "Manik I'm serious..."

"Acha batao..."He said ruffling her hair.

"It's about Navya.." She said and looked at her in surprise. She said about the chatting and phone conversation and what she suspected making Manik too shock.

"You don't worry..I'll take care..." He said and put her to sleep.

Next morning, when Navya was about to leave to work, Nyonika called her.

"Ladke waale aa rahe hai...Get ready..." She said and went off leaving behind a confused and shocked Navya.

"Navya...go inside...get ready jaldii..." Even Manik ordered and left for doing preparations.

"Yeh ho kya raha hai...!!!" She thought and made a call which went unanswered. Tears formed in her eyes seeing all the preparations and due to her helplessness.

"Bhai.." She called Manik who paid no attention towards her.

"Bhai listen to me once...What's going on Bhai...!!??" She asked holding his hand.

"What's going on mathlab...Rishtha aaya hai tere liye...Go fast...Nandini..thayaar karo yaar Navya ko..." He said and went while Nandini answered "Jii.."

After she got ready, they made her serve tea to the groom and she was more than shocked seeing HIM in groom's place.

"ABHI..." She said in a shocked tone.

She immediately turned back to look at her family members who were smiling mischievously and then she understood that they got to know about their love story.

"Ladka pasand aaya...??"Manik asked and smirked.

"Bhai....!!!" She said and hugged him.

After two months,

Nyonika and Raj went to temple when Navya went on a date with Abhi. Nandini was all alone waiting for Manik to return from a meeting which was planned at the last moment.

She sat on the sofa with great difficulty and suddenly a thin strike of pain hit her spinal cord making her whimper in pain.

After an hour, Manik entered and saw Nandini who was having tears in her eyes and pressing a pillow to her support. He rushed to her and caressed her face saying "Nandu..Kya hua...??"

"It's paining......haaa.....since an hour....Phone...pass nahi hai...." She said with difficulty and he immediately rushed her to hospital. He was angry on everyone especially on himself.

"Doctor..Howz she...??" He asked in a tensed tone when the doctor came out from Nandini's room.

"Nothing to worry Mr.Malhotra...Luckily water didn't break....we are expecting normal delivery...Don't worry..." She said and went.

Soon everyone came but he didn't speak to anyone.

"I'm sorry bhai...Bhabhi only insisted me to go...I shouldn't have gone leaving her..." Navya apologized.

Manik side hugged her and patted her head saying "It's ok..Kuch nahi hoga..."

After an hour,

Doctor came out and said "Congratulations..It's a girl..."

He hugged his mom and ran inside to see Nandini while the nurse handed his baby girl after dressing.

He kissed her cheeks lightly and saw Nandini who was sleeping and thought "hey bhagwan....ek aur Nandini ko kaise bardhaash karoon...!!!"

After four years,

"Phir se school se complaint...AARVI MANIK MALHOTRA....you are getting naughtier day by day..." Manik said in a strict tone.

"Kyun maara uss teacher ko..??" He asked seriously.

The little girl too looked at him seriously keeping her two hands on her waist and said "Wo aap pe line maal lahi hain...buddhu kahika..."

The answer made everyone shock and Manik was beyond shock seeing Nandini in his daughter.

"Mumma...kal se dady no school dropping...Sab se bacha nahi paa lahi hoon mein inko..." She said and huffed making everyone laugh.

"Beti maanga tha Bhagwan....Lady hitler ko bheja kyun aapne...!!! " Manik thought seeing the mother-daughter duo.
