The next day we got home and it was so nice to be back home but it was hectic because mom and dad had already left to their vacation, bhai and bhabhi helped us pack our shit so we could move out

I thought they would be upset but they didn't care, they wanted us to have more privacy so that was good.

The next few days I just packed both our things and finally today we were going to the house, our house.

Manik had our stuff diverted and set up in our souse already yesterday, I old him I could unpack but he say no.

"Nandini don't hesitate to come back to complain, I will beat his ass if he is rude" bhai told me

"I will take that" I told him

"Mosi you going" gia asked

"No baby don't be sad im just 10 minutes away" I told her

"Chachu too" she asked and I nodded

"Chachu will bring you chocolates" Manik said

"Sachii"she asked

"Yes" he said and she smiled

"Take care of yourself" bhabhi siad

"You too bhabhi, drop her by anytime" I said and she nodded

"Bye loser" bhai said hugging Manik

"Fucking idiot" he mumbled hugging him

We headed out and Manik was driving.

"Babe you wanna go to the beach first" he asked

"Yes please, I wanna meet the kids" I said and he nodded

He drove us to the beach and as soon as the car stopped I jumped out running to the waterline

"Jaan please slow down" I heard his voice but I was way too excited

"Didi" I heard the kids running to me

"Hiiiii" I yelled

They all fell on me making me fall on the sand.

"Hey are you okay" it was Manik

"Who are you? Get away from our didi" the little one said

"Hi I'm manik" he said sitting down beside me

"No get away" Rahul said

"Relax kids, this is manik my husband" I told them and they all looked at him like he was an alien

"Im scared" manik whispered in my ear making me laugh

"You are handsome" rani said

"Thank you" he whispered back

"You will play basketball with me" Rahul asked

"Of course I will"

As soon as the kids heard this they were off of me and grabbing Manik's arm pulling him. He gave me a look and I nodded so he went with the kids to play, I walked over to the shop where I saw rina aunty sitting who takes care of all of these kids when their parents are working

"Namaste aunty"

"Namaste beta, boot din bad Ayi hai"

"Han woh shimla gayi thi"

"Husband kai bath" she asked

"Ji, woh manik hai merai husband" I said pointing at him

He was playing with the kids laughing and I melted just looking at him.

"Bohot pyar karta hai tujhsai, uski ankho mai dikhta hai" she said making me smile

Beofre I could say anything I heard a little cry and aunty sighed.

She picked up a little baby from behind her and I couldn't help but tear up a little

the baby had black smothered all over the face, bones sticking out

"Aunty whose is she" ia asked

"Pata ni beta aj subha hi kachrai kai dabai mai mili hai" she said

"Hey shh why are you crying Jaan, shhh" it was manik

I turned around shoving my face in his stomach since he was standing behind me

"Manik"

"Shh tell me what's wrong" he whispered caressing my hair

i didn't know what to say

"Nandini baby I can't help if I don't know what's going on right"

I moved away from him and he sat down beside me

"Look" I said pointing at the baby who was a sleep now

"Whose is she" he asked

"They found her in the dustbin, how can someone do that to a baby" I cried

"Shh shh you know I hate seeing you cry"

"Can I hold her" I asked and manik nodded

"Beta koi bimari ho sakti hai, tu"

"Please" I asked and she handed me the baby

I held onto her and I kid you not she held onto my top gently in her sleep. I looked at manik who smiled kissing my head

"Manik"

"Yes we can" he said

"We can what" I asked

"We can adopt her if you want or we can find a home for her, whatever you want" he said and I couldn't help but tear up more

I don't know how he knew what I wanted but I did want her. She is so beautiful and precious

"Aunty apko koi takleef toh ni hogi na agar hum issai adopt dar lai" Manik asked and she shook her head

'Beta meri bhi umar ho gayi hai mai ni sambhal paungi toh agar tum dono ko koi inkar ni hai toh bilkul" she replied

"We will take her" manik said and she blessed us both

The rest of the kids were back home by now so manik and I started walking back to the car.

Manik's pov

When I saw Nandini crying, I excused myself from the kids and walked over to her, she was balling her eyes out and I didn't know why.

When I realized it was because of the little baby, I couldn't help but tear up a little too hearing how aunty found her in the garbage like what the fuck is wrong with people.

"Can I hold her" Nandini asked looking at me and I nodded

She asked the aunty who was hesitant at first because the baby may have some disease or whatever but Nandini didn't care and that's something I love about her.

As soon as she held the baby, the baby held onto her top gently and in my heart I knew I wanted to adopt her.

Nandini looked up at me and I knew she wanted the same exact thing but I did give her the option to find the baby a home just because nadnini is so young

I didn't say anything further because I wanted her to think calmly and after we get home

She carried the baby in the car, I opened her door and she settled in her seat. I got in the drivers seat and nadnini looked at me

"Can I get you to grab me some wipes" she asked

I leaned back and grabbed them from the back seat handing them to her. She wiped the baby's face slowly and then her arms

"Stop crying Jaan" I said seeing her silently crying while she wiped the baby

"Manik look na she is so tiny"

"I know love, I see that and we can go to the doctor right now okay but I can't have you be crying so much"

"What Id she isn't okay" she voiced

"She is, look she is still holding onto you" I said and she nodded looking down

I grabbed my phone and called our family doctor and asked him to have a pediatrition available and he said there was one but in 30 minutes which was fine
