-----------------------------------------------------------
"Bhayiaa bhabhi " Nandu screamed as soon as she entered the mansion.
Soon mukti came running towards her in an Anarkali suit. In front of her came running a sever years old aarav screaming "buaa".
Nandu smiled at both and giving a tight peck on aarav's cheeks hugged mukti.
Soon myra and Manik appeared from behind holding a six months manan in hands.
"mammii " myra screamed before hopping in mukti's arms and later myra and aarav hugged each other and ran towards manik.
Manik ruffled aarav's hairs.
"champ" manik called him.
"manik mamu merko manan ke sath khelna h" aarav said to which manik nodded smilingly.
And making manan comfortable on baby chair they all sat in sofa. Myra and aarav were around manan. Poking him making weird faces to him and fighting with eachother for who will make him laugh first.
"bhai kaha h?" Nandu asked looking around.
"woh he is in kitchen. It's lunch time na that's why." mukti said before moving towards manan.
While nandu giggled at it
"soo bhai is still on no-junk food mission?" nandini asked
"yeah. And he even gave leave to cooks saying he only wanted hygienic home made food." mukti said in disbelief.
"hehe aab it's necessary after all you are one week pregnant." Nandu said happily.
Manik smiled at the ladies and moved towards kitchen to find abhi working like professionals.
"bhai kaha tha maine kii mukti see shaadi krega toh yahi hoga but noo sunni hi nhi tune meri. Aab dekh kaise kitchen ka Saara Kaam Aa Gaya terko" manik said to which abhi gave him a glare
He was looking irritated.
"What happened??" manik asked
"I am making burrito bowl for her. But yeh rice are not getting brown jaisa Iss photo main h" abhi said irritated.
"aare add one spoon ketchup and two spoon white vinegar. Than it will be Okey" manik instructed him.
"ek second tujhe kaise pata?" abhi asked raising his eyebrows.
"dude my wife is being pregnant two times. Upar se whenever she is comes tried from music recording or shoots I have to prepare for her. Soo experience." manik said raising his collars.
"wow finally nandini ne tujhe cooking bhi sikha dii. Mtlb pehle baby ka Saara Kaam, fir ghar ka Saara Kaam soo that you would not be dependent on servants, than she even taught you cooking. I am impressed" abhi said passing his a teasing smile.
"yeah soo my wife cares about me issliye she taught me. And look at you always found in kitchen. Mtlb it's going to be 9 years to your marriage and among you n mukti only you know how to cook. Wow buddy I am impressed." manik said taunting him to which he rolled his eyes.
Soon they were greeted by cabir who came in kitchen holding two big lunch boxes.
" and here come another juru ka gulam" abhi said to which manik giggled.
"hii bro kya baat navya ne tujhe bhi majdoor bana diya" manik said to which cabir rolled his eyes
"What atleast meri biwi mujh se Khaana nhi banwati. She is a great cook and always cooks for me. Look at you guys abhi tu roz mukti ko phone pe baby plss sorry baby I will cook something special for us bolta h and Manik tu, tu nandini ke ek order pe kitchen main milta h. Huh atleast I am saved from this. " cabir said he was looking irritated too.
There " biwi is a don" discussion further deepened when dhruv the ultimate victim entered inside the kitchen.
"aare head of this meeting arrived. Waise dhruv where were you" chair asked.
"alia wanted to shop some gifts for all the kids soo I was in play store selecting barbies for Myra." dhruv said to which everyone laughed.
"abhi what you are cooking?? I am damn hungry" dhruv said looking in the fridge.
"dhruv this food is only for pregnant lady i.e. Mukti. You eat whatever you want. I mean cook something or order. But dont ask me to cook. I am tired now" abhi said to which dhruv sighed.
"don't worry dhruv navya packed food for all of us." cabir said giggling.
Dhruv smiled at him. And the four boys talked about stuff still in kitchen waiting for the dish to be prepared.
Meanwhile girls were resting on sofas and coaches.
"alia you should not have brought soo many gifts for myra. You only gave her soo many gifts last week. She might get spoilt." Nandu said to which alia ignored royally its nothing new for her.
"Nandu jii relax. It's just that i met them after one whole week issliye I wanted to gift them something. And myra look na she is looking soo cute playing with that barbie.." alia argued to which nandini nodded her head in disbelief.
"navya woh I am taking cavya with me. Actually tommorow is off for them soo myra requested some girls time with cavya" Nandu said to which navya agreed.
They both looked at cavya and myra who were not less than sisters. Truly these two were going to continue the kind of bond which thier mothers shared.
"why are boys taking soo long in kitchen.?" alya asked.
"I will see" Nandu said getting up and moved towards kitchen but stopped at a distance listening to some thing.
"yaa srsly mtlb we were soo free birds but shaadi ke baad we even can't have a boys night" manik said remembering how nandu got angry when she got to know the boys were going to club for drinks.
"srsly and if we take them along than they are like don't do this dont do that" cabir added.
"and don't even talk about shopping. Jitna maine apni 24 years kii zindagi main shop nhi kiya utna maine inn 9 saalon main kr liye." dhruv added
Abhi was about to say something when his eyes fell on burning nandini.
He immediately stiffened and seeing his face all boys turned around to see nandini.
Manik gulped his saliva..
" baby mujhe keh deti agar kuch Chahiye tha tumhe yaha tk aane kii kya need thi" Manik said passing her a sweet smile.
"I rule over you ? Main tumhe boys night allow nhi krti??" Nandini asked coldly.
"Nhi Nandu nothing like that. Yeh toh hum bs aaise hi baatien kr rahe the.you are the best wife anyone can have.trust me.i am soo lucky to have you" Manik said moving towards her.
"Myraaaa"Nandu called her looking back.
"Yes mamma" Myra said running towards her.
"Baby dadda wants to spend his whole day with you and manan tommorow. Infact today he will sleep you too. And kl apke sath he will play all the games. Thank dadda for this!!" Nandu said smirking but it took all the colours from Manik's face.
Spending whole day with Myra means playing with Barbie , stopping her from beating any boy , making sure she doesn't leave her lunch !! , And offcourse keeping an eye on her pranks. Too much scary work for Manik!!
"Thank you dadda" Myra said hugging him.
Manik bend down on her level to take her in a hug.
"Mumma gave you punishment again"Myra whispered giggling in manik's ears making him smile too.
"And Bhai , Dhruv , Cabir tum Teeno ko hum anadaar batate h" Nandu said moving towards living room.

Monday morning..
Nandu entered in her room with a messy bun and pink night suit when the sight infront of her made her blood boil...
"Innka kuch nhi ho skta..school ke liye late ho Raha h but nhii baap kii tarah Beti ko bhi Sona h" Nandu muttered and marched towards them...
"Manik what is this I woke you up to make Myra ready and here you two are sleeping like monkeys and manan ko bhi include kr liya ..." Nandini shouted
To which manik and Myra simply covered Thier ears with pillows fanning nandu's anger..and with one hand Manik covered manan's ears...
"Mr.malhotra and miss. Malhotra in the bathroom now or no breakfast for you two and yes no playing with manan for whole day" Nandini shouted alerting both Myra and Manik.
Both stood up in a second and kissing manan's cheek hugged Nandu and ran to washroom..
Nandu giggled silently and covering manan properly made him lie on baby bed and left the room..
At night...
As planned the family was Laying on terrace couch watching stars...
First was Manik with manan resting on his chest..beside him was Myra who like her parents was keenly observing stars and beside her was Nandini whose one hand on resting on both Myra and manan and another under her head...
They looked a complete family..
It was their rule everyweek they used to lay on terrace and view stars...
This rule was made on the day 1 of mariaage...
Myra who like her parents loved stars to no extent was the most excited soul for This night..
Because of nandu's shooting and recording schedules and manik's offices and singing they both sometimes fail to spend proper time with them.
Though one of them was always around the kids but according to the rule on this night every week they all had to be together enjoying Thier own sweet time with no interference filling eachother with all the week long conversations...sometimes this night was held two or three times a week.
"Dadda merko na stars touch krne h" Myra said to manik looking at stars.
Myra was resting her head on manik's chest and Nandu was back hugging her...
"Myra ko stars bahut Pasand h na??" Nandu asked cutely
"Yesh mumma...main na apki tarah ek bahut badi singer banongi and ek Woh kya Hota h joh space main jaata h? Assh..as...ashtrought .yes main ashtrought banogi" Myra said looking at the sky telling her dreams while Manik and Nandini exchanged a smiling look and kissed myra's hairs...
"Baby that's astronaut ..."Nandu corrected her
"And meri Princess ko joh banana h Woh banegi" Manik said to her to which Myra smiled whole heartedly...
Soon sleep took over both manan and Myra...
"You know I still thank that car in front of which you came to save that dog. Because of that I saw you " Manik said to nandu making her smile more...
"And I thank that advertisement office jaha pe tum ek stupid sii add Ka audition De rahe the. That day only my heart said you are different"nandu's words made him more smile..
"And I thank that cafeteria jaha pe humari dosti shuru Hoyi..aur hamara pyaar bhi" Manik said...
"And I thank aryaman for coming in my life. Wrna merko Kabhi pata nhi chalta main tumhe pyaar krti ho"
"Woh toh h..wrna main toh Puri Zindagi tera dost ban ke reh jaata" Manik said making a bad face..
Nandu giggled at it..
"Thanks for coming into my lone life and giving me a family I can call mine...meri life Ka sabse baada gift myra and manan , mom , dad , bhaiya , Bhabhi and Everyone...srsly Manik thank you" Nandu said pouring out her heart few tears brimmed in them..
"And thank you meri life ko itna Sundar baneka. " Manik said before kissing her forehead and taking her lips in a small promising kiss both slept hugging Thier two life lines close to them.
