Nandini giggles as she knows that how possisseve he is for her

Aadhik : we know she our mother

Manik : then call her mom Mumma ya maa yeh Kya hai jaan Shona what is this, aisa lagta hai tum dono ki biwi hai

Vedhik (mischievous look) : are you jealous ?

Manik : no...no at all no I'm not jealous

Aadhik (smirk) : come on you should not be jealous from your sons

Manik : I'm not jelouse okay it's just that before you guys I used to call her Shona jaan with all these names so she is my Shona and jaan tum dono aapne liye koi or dhundo

Aadhik Vedhik pout listen him

Nandini : accha baas chalo ab kuch karte hain mein bore ho rahi hoon....

Vedhik : kya karein?

Aadhi : kuch khele kya?

Manik : haan...par kya khelein ?

Vedhik : good question..

Aadhik : okay I have got a game...I will say a word and others should say a word which reminds you of that word like for example if someone says "hurt" tho I will say "pain" like that you all should say a word...okay?

Others : done..

Manik : Tho Vedhik shuru karega....

Vedhik : okay (thinks for some seconds) peace and for me it's sketching.....

Nandini : you three.

Aadhik : music

Manik : Nandini...

And the other three smile at him....

Nandini : ab mein...

She smirks at her sons who give her a confused look....

Nandini : superhero and mine is "Abhi bhai"

Manik : "papas"

They both look towards their sons who were looking at each other with a nervous smile..

Nandini (innocently) : bolona beta...

Aadhik : voh...voh

Manik listens to him curiously

Aadhik : he..

Nandini : kaun?

Vedhik : aapko pata haina shona....

Nandini(shrugging her shoulder) : nahi tho mujhe nahi pata ab bolo dono...

Aadhik & Vedhik (looking at Manik) : papa...

And there flows an emotions inside Manik's heart which he had never experienced..he can't find whether it is "pride" or "happiness" or anything else he didn't know how to react so he just passes them a smile but that's enough for them to know how happy he is...

Aadhik : Ab meri baari...the word is "Malhothras" and it is "handsome"

Nandini (makes a bad face) : kuch bhi...it's "Ego" for me....

Vedhik : charming

Manik : Smart

Manik : tho ab mein..."past" and it is "hell" for me (with a sad smile)

Vedhik (looking at Manik) : missing

Aadhik (looking at Manik) : waiting

Nandini (with slight tears) : worst dream..

Manik : tho bool jauna tumlog

They all nod at him with a smile

Vedhik (mischieviously) : first love and it is music for me

Manik (looking at Nandini) : Nandini

Nandini (looking at Manik) : Manik

Aadhik (dreamly) : Aaro..

Manik widens his eyes at his son's answer seeing which Vedhik and Nandini breaks into laughter

Manik : kaun kaun aaro?

Aadhik (shrugging his shoulders) : first love !

Manik (rolling his eyes) : don't act smart bachu...meine poocha kaun hai voh "aaro"

Nandini (laughing) : may be humari "bahu"

Manik (shouts) : what ? kya bol rahe ho tum? "bahu?" like seriously?

Vedhik (innocently) : kya Aadhik pooch rahe haina bolo voh kaun hai?

Manik : tumlog usse tease maat karo kuch bhi bolke...

Nandini : acha hum jhoot bol rahe hain? tho poocho aapne bete sae chup kyun hai voh?

And that creates a confusion in Manik's mind Manik raises his eyebrow at his son for an answer seeing which Aadhik becomes nervous and says

Aadhik : Aditya mamu ki beti...

Seeing him becoming nervous they decide to continue the game they continue to  play till they get bored and at the end of the game they got to know each other a little. When they end the game Manik stands up to leave.

Nandini : kahi jaa rahe ho?

Manik : haan...avni se baath karne..

Nandhini nods her head with a smile to which he returns the same and moves out....

He moves to avni's room but finds only his niece sleepingpeacefully. Then he searches for avni in kitchen but she was not there. After searching the entire house something strikes his mind and he runs towards garden and sighs seeing her there, at their favourite place. He walks towards her slowly and sits beside her...

Love you all
