"Hi guys..!!" Manik greeted Fab4 smilingly

and picked up his guitar. Suddenly he

noticed that all of them were staring at him.

"Kya hua guys?" Manik asked worriedly.

"Why are you all staring at me?"

"Manik..!! Tu nay time dkha hai..!!"Mukti

said angrily.

"Manik you are late..!!" Alya said angrily.

"Yes buddy actually very late..!!"Dhruv

added.

"Guys chill..!! Manik ko 4 long years baad

Nandini mili hai tou..!!" Cabir said

sarcastically and Manik showed him eyes.

"Shut up Cabir..!!" Manik shouted. "Guys

chill..!! Wo Manvi aur Nandini ko drop krny

me dare ho gai..!!" He tried to clear his point

and all laughed.

"Haan haan..!! Ab hmy kya pta tou Nandini

ko drop kar raha tha ya kuch

aur..!!" Cabir was about to say something

when Manik put his palm on his mouth. All

again started laughing.

"Ok guys...!! Let's go on stage..!!" Alya tried

to sort out the fight. All started preparing

themselves. Suddenly Manik's phone

buzzed. Caller ID was of Nandini.

"Hi baby..!!" Manik said cheerfully.

"Hi Mani..!! Wo I just called to tell you that I

will be a little late...!! Tou tum agr jaldi free

ho jaoa tou Mano ko pick kar laina..!! Wo 1

pm tak free ho jati hai..!!" Nandini explained

with full motherly concern and Manik

smiled.

"Ok Madam..!! Anything else..!!" Manik

asked naughtily.

"Yeah..!! I will call you when I will be free

phr tm mjy bhi pick kar laina ok?" This time

Nandini's voice was cheerful.

"Ok..!! Kaam ho jye ga..!!" Manik said

smilingly and he heard Nandini's laugh from

other side.

"Ok Mani..!! I have to go..!! You take care

bye..!!" Nandini said lovingly and she was

about to hung up when she heard him

calling her name.

"Nandu..!!" Manik said.

"Haan..!!" Nandini asked lovingly.

"You know I love you right?" Manik asked in

a different tone.

"I know Mani..!! And I love you

too..!!"Nandini said lovingly.

"Ok..!!" Manik said slowly.

"Mani kuch hua hai?" Nandini asked

curiously.

"No..!! Nothing..!! Ok bye..!!" Manik said

immediately and hung up. He was confused.

How will he tell Nandini that he was feeling

insecure...!! He knew that he love her..!! She

love him..!! But why? Arrgghh..!! Main pagal

ho jaoan ga..!!" He thought.

"Manik chal..!!" Cabir called him as it was

time to rock the stage. Then Fab5 litrelay

rocked the stage. The concert was a cracker.

After the concert Fab5 were sitting in hotel

room. Totally tired and exhausted.

"Yaar it was the best the concert ever..!! I

mean we cracked it guys...!! After so

long..!!" Mukti said excitedly.

"I think the good luck is because of

Manvi...!!" Alya said smilingly and all

nodded. Manik was smiling on this when

suddenly he got up with a jerk.

"Tjy kya hua?" Cabir asked mockingly.

"Ohh My God guys...!! It's 2:30..!! I had to

pick up Manvi at 1..!! No..!! I am very late..!!

God..!! She must be crying..!! I have to go..!!"

Manik freaked out worriedly and run

out. Fab4 smiled.

"Manik badal gya hai na..!!" Alya said

smilingly.

"But he changed for good..!!" Dhruv said and

all nodded.

...

Manvi was sitting alone in the school. Only

guard was left. He was waiting for Manvi to

go so that he lock the school gates.

"Beta..!! Where is your Mama Papa?" He

asked Manvi.

"Untall(Uncle) my Papa must be coming...!!"

She told him and he noddingly left to guard

the gates. It was very late. Manvi started

crying.

"Main Mama Papa ko yad ni?

Papa mjy bhool gye?" She thought innocently

all the time crying badly. Soon her eyes

became puffy but there was no sign of her

Mama and Papa.

...

Manik was driving crazily.

"How careless and dumb I am..!!" He

mentally scolded himself. He reached

Manvi's school in no time. He hurriedly got

down of the car and run towards the gate.

He noticed the school was empty. There was

no hustle and bustle. He saw the guard.

"Sir..!! Your daughter is waiting for you

from so long..!!" Guard told him and it

increased Manik's guilt. Manik went inside

the school and he saw Manvi sitting on a

staircase. She was crying badly. Manik felt

his heart stopped beating seeing his love

crying so badly.

"Manvi..!!" He shouted her name. Hearing

her name Manvi looked at Manik and she

run towards him. Manik too run towards

her and soon he picked her up in his arms.

And again she started sobbing hard.

"Shhh..!! Bus Papa ki jaan..!!"Manik tried to

shush her.

"Papa..!! Ap mjhy bhool gye..!!" She asked

between her sobs and Manik was diving in

the pool of embarrassment.

"No bacha..!! How will I forget you..!! Ap tou

meri jaan ho...!! It's just I was busy in

concert that's why..!!" Manik tried to explain

and Manvi hugged him tightly.

"I thought that you left me alone again..!!"

She said sadly and Manik was feeling

ashamed of himself. When his daughter will

start trusting him?..!!

"No baby..!! I will never leave you I

promise..!!" Manik whispered sadly. He

composed and broke the hug. "Chalo bus ab

mera brave baby nahi roye ga..!!" Manik

said and wiped her tears. "Ice cream

khayen?" Manik asked to cheer her up and

she instantly nodded. Manik kissed her puffy

eyes and came out of the school. Manvi was

still afraid so she rested her head on Manik's

shoulder. Manik sat in the car. Manik tried

to made Manvi sit on the seat beside him but

she again started crying.

"Ok ok..!! Sorry..!! Meray pass bethna hai?"

Manik asked and she innocently nodded.

Maybe she had a doubt that if she will sit

away from Manik he again left her. So she

cling to him tightly. Manik made her sit in

his lap. She wrapped her arms around his

waist and rested her head on his chest.

Manik gently kissed her hair and kept

talking to her to lit up her mood. Soon they

reached an ice cream shop. Manvi wasn't

ready to walk so Manik again picked her up

and got down of the car.

"So meray baby ko kon sa flavor khana hai?"

Manik asked Manvi.

"Umm..!! Chocolate..!!" Manvi exclaimed

smilingly and Manik sighed seeing her in a

good mood.

"Okay..!! So Mr.Shopkeeper..!! One chocolate

ice cream..!!" Manik said and soon Manvi

was licking the ice cream happily. Manik

came out of the shop.

"Papa...!!" Suddenly Manvi shouted and

Manik became worried.

"What happened baby?" Manik asked

worriedly.

"Papa..!! Balloons..!!" Manvi shouted

excitedly pointing towards a balloon

vendor.

"Manvi..! Aisy chilaty hain? Dar gya tha

me..!!" Manik scolded her and she smiled

sheepishly.

"Papa sholly(sorry) please balloons...!! I

want balloon..!!" Manvi said cutely

wrapping her arms around Manik's neck.

"Ok..!!" Manik said smilingly.

"I love you Papa..!! You ale(are) the

beesshhttt(best)...!!" She exclaimed and

clapped her hands as she had finished her

ice cream.

"I love you too..!!" Manik said smilingly and

pecked her forehead. Manik walked towards

the balloon vendor. Manvi's eyes were

sparkling seeing the balloons.

"Which color..!!" Manik asked Manvi.

"Waisy tou I like all but Red is my favolite

(favorite)...!!" She again exclaimed.

"Oky..!! Bhaiya g..!! Ya sary balloons day

dain..!!" Manik said to the vendor and

Manvi's eyes popped out in happiness.

"Shaaly?(sary)..!!" Manvi said in a disbelief.

She never ever in her life had got so much

balloons.

"Yes..!! Sary..!!" Manik said smilingly and

vendor gave him all the balloons. Manik

handed over the thread of a red balloon to

Manvi. She was so excited. Manik himself

held the thread of all other balloons. He

walked back to the car and tied the threads

of all the balloons with the car. Manvi was

very much happy. Manik then sat in the car

and his phone beeped. Caller ID was of

Nandini.
