"Sama no masti haan" Manik said as he walked her and Samra as they went to drop Samara to her class, it was a week after their wedding
"Kisi ko punch maat karna ok" he added but Samara was deaf ears to him
"Go now" he said and bend down kissing Samara's cheek
Dropping Samara he picked Arya in his arms and turned for her class

"Hi" Manik greeted not meaning to be rude
"Hey, you here?" She asked
"Dad is here to drop us" Arya answered aa Miss Natasha looked suprised
"Arya bad manners you should not call anyone Dad" she glared Arya
"Excuse me" Arya was pissed
"This is not the way you talk to your teacher" Natasha gritted her teeth
"This is not the way you talk to my daughter" Manik gritted his teeth and Natasha grasped
"But she is Miss Murtys daughter..." Natasha said
"Mrs Malhotra, you are talking about my wife Mrs Nandini Manik Malhotra" Manik corrected her
"Being a teacher it is advisible to read news paper Miss" Manik said as she saw Natasha look at Arya
"My biological daughter" he answered her unasked question
"You should have got that seeing Arav, shouldn't you?" He said with a smirk
"Thank your stars my son isn't here to answer those looks at yours" he added smugly he turned and left with Arya who was laughing looking at her teachers face
"Don't tell your mother she will break her neck" Manik said putting Arya on ground
"I know" she giggled and when getting up Manik saw his son glaring at them
"You live her more" he accused
"No baby" Manik tried to defend
"Don't baby me Mr Malhotra" he glared
"You always take her in your arms and time around" he complained
"God she is your twin!" Manik said
"Excatly twin, so you should love us equally" he accused
"Fine while going home I will carry you in my arms" Manik said exasperated
"I don't want any meharbani" he said and dashed inside the class

"Mom, please, agar little sister ko kuch ho gaya tho" Arav said afraid
"It's little brother" Arya said
"No"
"Now stop it you both don't start again" Manik warned them, this is happening since five months, from the day they have hot to know that their mother is pregnant
"And you Nandini, can't you be careful or do you want me to tie you to the bed haan" he turned to his wife as tears threatening to fall from her eyes
"Shit!" Manik and the kids sweared under their breadth seeing Nandini
"Mom he didn't mean to sound rude" Arya tried to control the situation
"No no he just scolded me" she started to cry
"No Mom" Arav tried to go near her but she scotted away
"No, no one love me now, now that you have him you don't love me and as I am getting fat he doesn't loves me too" she accused them and they plamed their face this was now daily drama in their house
She sat on the sofa crying uncontrollably
Manik signed and gestured the kids to leave and went to her
"Jaan" he kneeled before her and she shoved him away
"Jaan" he wiped her tears
"I don't like your tears Jaan" he said hugging her

"I trouble you a lot, don't I ?" she asked
"No Meri Jaan" he said kissing her forehead
"Baby don't trouble Mom ok" he talked to his baby and kissed Nandini's bump making her smile

"And Dad then left Bhai and Di at Grandpa's house and he rushes to baby and Mom" Manik was talking to Nandini's nine months baby bump
The delivery date which Doctor gave had passed and everyone was worried for Nandini now. So Manik shifted with Nandini to NavNi's house because it was near hospital and since Nandini had heavy changing moods it was better the kids were kept away few days
"Mani mujhe bhook lagi hai" she said
"Kya khayegi meri Jaan" he asked
"Something soft soft" she said and he looked at her confused, though he would be tired and sometimes even get fustrated with Nandini's such absurd demands he tried to fulfill them all
"Kay soft soft" he asked again
"Something soft!" She signed
"Idli" he asked and she made a face
"No something metha and soft" ahe said
"Metha and soft?" Aab yeh kaunsi musibat hai?" He muttered to himself
"Aur garam bhi" she added making him look at her in disbelief
"Garam+ meetha+ soft" he said and she nooded
"Aisa kya hota hai?" He scratch his head
"Mani!" She yelled
"Garam garam gulab jamun" she answered making him sign
They got up and he took her to the sweet shop
