The next morning Amms, Chachi & Rishab got ready & came out of their rooms. Then amms asked to the servant,
Amms: Did Manik & Nandini wake up??
Servant: No madam, I was just going to call them..
Amms: When did Nandini came last night?
Servant: Madam came at 2:30 after which sir & madam had their dinner.
Chachi: Manik had dinner so late??
Servant: Yes sir never has his breakfast , lunch or dinner before Madam, they always eat together only....
Chachi smiled listening to this & so did Amms...
Amms: Ohk u go, don't wake them up now.
About 2 hours latr at 10:00 am, Nandini woke up. She smiled looking at Manik, as he had again clutched her tightly & thats why she wasn't able to move. Sh eturned towards the clock & as she saw the tym she panicked.
Nandini: Manik, wake up its 10 am... she said slowly.
Manik opened his eyes & smiled at her,
Manik: Gud mrng!!
Nandini: Good mrng Manik.... But we are late!!
Manik: Relax.... Go u get ready then I'll go..
Nandini nodded & soon both got ready & moved down to see her family sitting in the living room. They took the blessings from them & just then the servant came,
Servant: Madam, should I get the breakfast??
Nandini: Ji kaka, but y didn't u wake me up early...
Amms:Nandu.... I stopped him!! U both slept late so u needed rest
They all moved towards the breakfast table but Manik got an important call so he went to attend it. The breakfast was served but Nandini didn't start. Chachi smiled at her, & seeing her smile, Rishab got an Idea..
Rishab: Di eat na... Why rn't u starting..
Nandini: Rishab, just 5 minutes... U start!!
Rishab: No, i won't untill u do... So eat!
Nandini: How does it matter Rishab, I m here na, i'll eat... U start till then
Rishab:  No na...
Rishab took up a piece from his plate & took it towards Nandini...
Rishab: Come on... eat na!!
Nandini: No rishab wait.... No!! Plz!!
Just then Manik came & saw this smiling...
Manik: Rishab wait a minute!!
Manik came closer & sat next to Nandini. He picked up a little food from Nandini's plate & had it.
Manik: Now continue!!
Rishab took the food towards nandini & this tym she had it without any argument.
Manik: What happened Nandini?? U don't wanna fight now???
Nandini looked at him with big eyes & motioned towards Amms. Manik smiled & they all continued their breakfast quitely. After finishing the breakfast Manik said,
Manik: Nandini, there is a really important meeting, so i hv to go to delhi right now!!
Nandini: Delhi!!
Nandini said with her face dropped. Manik noticed it & said,
Manik: Yeah... I had got a call from the manager just a few mins before.... Don't worry its just an important one, so i hv to go but i'll be back by tonight itself.
Nandini looked at him feeling a lillte better & then said,
Nandini: Ohk I'll pack a bag for u.
Manik nodded at her & she went up. He looked at Amms & said,
Manik: Amms, I'll just be back.
He followed Nandini up to the room & entered to see her standing in front of the cupboard. He went closer & hugged her from the back.
Manik: Why r u sad Nandini, I'll be back by tonight for sure.
Nandini looked towards him with teary eyes & asked,
Nandini: Promise??
Manik: Nandini promise, ohk now smile otherwise how will I go... I can't see tears in my jaan's eyes!!
Nandini smiled & hugged him. Soon both of them came down & just then he said to Nandini.
Manik: Nandini, I forgot my file on the bed, can u plz get it..
Nandini: Sure!!
Nandini walked upstairs & Manik called the servant.
Manik: Kaka, make sure Nandini has her meals properly... If she goes to the hospital, then send her lunch over there.... I don't want her to miss her meals. She shouldn't go out without a driver... And yes no strangers in the Mansion, ask the watchman to keep the doors closed, Got it??
Servant: Yes sir.. As u say!!
Manik: Ohk u may leave!!
Manik turned around to find Nandini standing there with her entire family. She smiled at him & said,
Nandini: Mr. Malhotra just relax.... And go... I'll be f9...
Manik smiled at her & she moved forward.
Nandini: And now i know u don't need this file so I'll keep it in the study!!
Manik laughed a little & nodded.
Manik: So now i guess I must leave..
After that Manik said a Bye to all & got out of the house. After he left Nandini kept on looking at the door & then said,
Nandini: Chachi, I'll just be back.
Saying this Nandini moved out to see him waiting.
Nandini: Manik, u r still here!!
Manik: How can I go without hugging u...
Saying so manik moved forward & enclosed her within his arms tightly. They stayed like that for a few minutes after which Nandini broke the hug.
Manik: Chalo bye..... Love u...
Nandini: Bye!
With this Manik left & Nandini then spent some tym with her family. It was around 2 pm when she got a call from the hospital that Harshad was now in his senses. She got ready & went to the hospital. She reached there & straightly went to the room where he was shifted, she entered the room & without saying anything picked up his reports & checked them.
Harshad: Nandini!!
Nandini: How r u feeling now Mr. Saxena?
Harshad: Much better.... Nandini i m sry that u had to treat me till so late last night...
Nandini: Mr. Saxena, u r my pateint & that was my duty. And now i wanna ask u again if u hv changed ur mind & u need the operation. Bcoz we won't be able to save u everytime, like last night...
Harshad looked at her & straightly said,
Harshad: NO operation is needed.
Nandini looked at him with a blank face & then said,
Nandini: Ohk, so as u wish.... Now the nurses will give u some medicines, hope u get well & I'll come latr to check.
And saying this she moved out of his room & reached her cabin.
Nandini's pov: " I don't knw what is going on in Harshad's mind. How can someone choose to die?? Yesterday I somehow saved him, but what if I would hv failed... What would I hv told Aliya?? I need to tell about him to all of them. But before that I need to tell Manik. I don't know what has happened in those years & why has Harshad drifted out of their lives. Even Aliya doesn't talk to him now.... But whatever it is, She is his sister, she has the right to know!! I can't hide this from her. I hv to talk to her... But HOW???"
The rest of the day Nandini checked on her other patients. At around 6 in the evening, she decided to go to check on Harshad again. She went to his room & saw him flirting with the nurse. The nurse saw her & moved back immediately. Nandini looked at her blankly & asked,
Nandini: Did he hv all his medicines??
Nurse: Yes Doctor!!
Nandini: And what about the reports of the tests that I did last night.
Nurse: They rn't ready yet, doctor u'll get them tmrw...
Nandini: Ohk.... Now leave!!!
Nandini ordered her with a glare, the nurse got very scared & thus she lowered down her face & left.
Harshad: Wow... they r reallu scared of u!! Impressive..
Nandini: Mr. Saxena, this is a hospital & u r a patient so plz act accordingly.
Harshad: Come on Nandini, why r u so serious... Ohh wait, u hv married Manik right, i think u hv taken this frm him only.
Nandini: Harshad, don't go upon my personal life, u hv no right to say anything about my husband.
Harshad: Ohk Ohk sorry... By the way I must say u still sing briliant... I saw ur Paris performance.
Nandini ignored his comment & picked up his progress reports to check. Just then the door flung open & a voice came from behind "Nandini Chachi!!".
Nandini turned to see Kavya running towards her. Kavya immediately hugged her & the nurse came running behind. Nandini looked at that nurse & said,
Nandini: Don't u knw that she isn't allowed here!!
Nurse: Sorry Doctor, i stopped her but-
Nandini: U can't even handle a kid!!
The nurse bowed her head & Nandini turned towards Harshad & said,
Nandini: Sorry Mr. Saxena, Just a minute.
Nandini sat down on her knees & said,
Nandini: Hello baby, how r u??
Kavya: I m good!!
Nandini: Baby how come u r here... How did u come??
Kavya: I came with Driver Uncle... Chachi I need ur help!!
Nandini: Help??
Kavya: Yes tmrw its mamma & Daddy's anniversary & I need to buy a gift.
Nandini smiled at her sweetness & then said,
Nandini: That we'll see later but first tell me does Mamma knw that u r here..
Kavya nodded in a No, so Nandini gave her phone to Kavya & asked her to move out & call Navya. Listening this Kavya ran out & Nandini again got back to her reports, & then said a min later,
Nandini: MR. Saxena, ur reports r not so gud.... These medicines are doing very less good to u & these can't help u for long... But as u said u don't wish for a operation, the decision is totally on u... U can still decide. I did a few tests last night, which will give us the possibilities of a successful operation, maybe that helps u decide.
Just then kavya entered again & came to Nandini.
Kavya: Chachi... Mamma wants to talk!!
Nandini took the phone from her & talked,
Nandini: Hello.... Yes she is f9!! Ya don't worry... No no don't send the driver, my shift is about to get over then I'll take her home with me... Vese bhi Manik has gone to dekhi today, so i'll njoy with her... Yes relax ur daughter won't trouble me.... Navya chill... BYE"
The moment Harshad heard Navya's name, he immediately looked at Nandini & then at Kavya. Nandini noticed it but then she sat on her knees & then said to Kavya.
Nandini: Baby.... u r a good girl na... So now u go & sit in my cabin, I'll finish my work fast & then we will go & buy a gift for Mamma & Daddy... U take my phone & play some games till then..
Kavya smiled at her & nandini nodded at the nurse to take her away. Just as they left Nandini said to Harshad,
Nandini: I m sorry 4 the disturbance... So where were we???
harshad just kept on looking at the door & said slowly,
Harshad: Who was She??
Nandini understood his question & said with a smile.
Nandini: U must be knowing Cabir Dhawan, the famous member of Fab5..... She is his daughter!!
Harshad: KAVYA!!
Nandini: Yes Kavya Dhawan... And now coming back to u... As i said the decision is urs, plz decide tonight, I'll come tmrw to ask u again... Take care Mr. Saxena!!
Saying this Nandini left the room & Harshad said,
Harshad: My daughter!!!
Soon Nandini & Kavya left the hospital & Nandini convinced Kavya that making a gift herself would be better than buying a materialised gift. Kavya agreed to her & thus they went to the Malhotra Mansion. As they reached Kavya first met Nandini's family & then Nandini took Kavya to her room & both of them made a nice card for Cavya. It was around 9 when Navya called but Kavya insisted to spend the night with Manan. Navya didn't agree at first but soon Nandini made her agree. Soon they all moved for the dinner. Rama served food for everyone but just before he was going to serve it for Nandini she stopped him.
Nandini: No.... I don't want it now!!
Rama: Madam, Sir had asked me to-
Nandini: Yes, but I m saying no, so leave.... ( Nandini said sternly)
Amms: Nandu... Kanna hv ur dinner.
Nandini:Amms, u don't worry, I m not feeling hungry now, I'll hv it latr..
chachi: Nandu, don't lie... We all knw why r u not eating. But Manik said na, he'll hv his meals, then y r u not hving it!!
Nandini: Chachi, I knw he said, but I knw he won't. In the afternoon also he had it when I called him & forced him to hv it. And now he must be in the flight so he won't take anything.
Rishab: Di... Jiju won't bcoz he knws that u too will not eat before him...
Nandini simply made a bad face & then started feeding Kavya.
Rishab: Chachi leave it, she is not gonna listen.... And then when jiju will come, firstly both will scold each other & fight & after that feed each other with all their love... Right Di!!
Nandini patted his back a little in anger & continued feeding Kavya.
Amms & Chachi smiled at this brother-sister duo & continued dinner. After the dinner all moved to their rooms to sleep & Nandini moved to her room with Kavya. She made Kavya sleep & then sat next to her waiting eagerly for Manik. Finally at around 11:30, the door flung open & she saw manik standing there. She got up, ran towards him & hugged him tight. Manik smiled & wrapped his hands around her.
Manik: I missed u so much!!!
Nandini simply made her grip around him more tighter & they stayed like that for sometime after which Nandini said,
Nandini: Mow u must be tired now go & freshen up!
Manik: All my tiredness runs away the moment I feel ur touch!!
Nandini: thank u 4 that... But now u go freshen up till then I'll get ur dinner!!
Manik looked at her in a shocked expression.
Manik: Nandini.... U didn't hv ur dinner!!
Nandini (smilingly): No bcoz i knw that u too didn't hv it...
Manik: But I told u na!!
Nandini: manik now if u waste ur tym in complaining I will hv to be more hungry... so go fast na!!
Manik smiled at her cuteness & moved in.
Nandini: And yes don't make much noise Kavya is sleeping!!
Manik: Kavya here??
Nandini: Yeah its Cabir & Navya's anniversary so i thought they would get sometym alone if Kavya stays here...
Manik smiled at her & nodded. 10 mins latr, Manik got out of the washroom just wearing his boxers & moved towards nandini who was waiting for him. he sat with her & both shared their day along with the dinner. After dinner nandini went to bed & lied down beside Kavya. Manik smiled & lied down on the other side. He closed the lights but then too sleep was far away from him, he tried a lot but failed. After half an hour he suddenly got up & switched on the light. Nandini too was awake so she asked,
Nandini: Manik... U need anything??
Manik: Yes!!
Nandini: What??
Manik didn't reply to her & slowly moved Kavya to his place after that he came towards nandini's side & made her shift inwards. The very next min he was lying beside her, clutching her by her waist & said,
Manik: YOU... I need u!!
Nandini: Manik how can we make Kavya sleep on the side.
Manik: Y can't we??? Listen carefully Nandini, i hv a habit to sleep holding u like this & without this sleep never comes to me... And I knw u too hv this habit & thats the reason why u r awake by now.
Nandini knew he was right & hence, blushed in the darkest shade of red.
Nandini: yes u r right but then too we-
Manik: No buts , u get one thing clear, no matter what happens, I will never let any1 come between us... Irrespective of whoever it is!!
Nandini smiled at him & moved her figures in his hair.
Nandini: Really Mr. Malhotra, do u think u r gonna be on ur words forever......
Manik: Off course, see I m telling u before hand only, even our daughter is not gonna sleep between us, she'll have to sleep on that side.
Nandini: Why???? Won't u love ur daughter....
Manik: Off course I will.... I'll give her all the love of this world, but one thing is sure, her presence will never decrease my love for u!!! And thats why she'll have to sleep on our side & not between us...
Nandini: But Manik, how r u so sure that we'll hv a daughter, there can  be a son also na!!
Manik: No, It will be a daughter only... I know... And she'll be the same like u, an exact copy.... Just the height will go on me...
Nandini heard him & slightly punched him, manik smiled at it & wrapped his arms more tightly around her.
Nandini: But whats the garantee, I think it will be a son.
Listening to this manik suddenly got over her.
Nandini: Manik, what r u doing?? Kavya will wake up...
Manik ignored her words & said,
Manik: Whats the point in arguing over it..... If u say, I'll fullfill this wish of urs today itself... And then we'll get to know whether its a girl or a boy within a period of just a few months.
Nandini blushed hard at it & hide her face in the crook of his neck. Manik smiled at her & just then he heard Nandini's whisper.
Nandini: If thats what u want then I'll definately think about it & let u know soon...
Manik heard this & his happiness had no bounds. He wanted to say this to Nandini & hving done that he felt very good. He slowly broke the hug & the very next moment he took Nandini's lips within his. It was a hard & wild kiss, as he poured out all his happiness in it. He bit & sucked her lips & tongue while Nandini mourned in his mouth. Her nails dig in his back. After a long tym manik broke the kiss. Both were breathing fast, they got their required oxygen & Manik moved his finger over nandini's lips, which were swollen red & had marks of his teeth.
Manik: I m sry, i think i was too harsh!!
Nandini: I m glad u were, at least that displayed ur happiness!!
Manik kissed her forehead & got off her. Nandini caressed Kavya's face & Manik kept on admiring her. Soon Nandini closed her eyes to sleep. When manik whispered in her ears.
Manik: I want it that doesn't mean that its a compulsion.. Its u who has to bear it & u can take as much time as u want 4 it... I'll never force u!!
Nandini(smiling): I love u Manik!!
And with this both if them fell asleep...<3<3
