Nandini and manik were sleeping peacefully cuddling to eachother. Manik had kept his head on her chest with one arm across her waist and his legs were also above nandini. While nandini had her one hand on manik's head while her other hand was around manik taking him like a baby.
After sometime nandini got up from her sleep. She got up and looked at manik who was sleeping peacefully hugging her like a baby while sucking his thumb. Nandini kissed his head and went to the washroom to freshen up. After that she came out and went towards manik and next to him carresing his hairs.

Nan( carresing his hairs): Bachha wake up. Its lunch time we need to go down for lunch.

Man( snnugles in her stomach): Hmmm... 2 mins mumma please.

Nan( while removing the thumb from his mouth): Ok

Nandini removed thumb from his mouth and wipes it as it was wet due to the saliva. After 5 mins she again said

Nan: Common baby get up . you can sleep after having lunch.

This time manik got up. Nandini wipes his mouth as there was drool after that she said.

Nan( kissing his nose): Go baby  and get fresh then we will go down.

Man: Ok mumma.

After that manik goes to the washroom to get fresh up. After sometime he came out of the washroom. Seeing him nandini said.

Nan: Come lets go shona

Manik and nandini both went downstairs for lunch. When they reached down they saw everybody were waiting for him. They took their chair and sat for lunch. Nandini served her and manik's plate. Everybody smiles seeing her care towards manik. After that ishita took a morsel and fed nandini.

Ishu( feeding nandini): Yele bachha dekh aaj tera favourite khana banaya hai.

Nan( happy): Wow maa. I love you.

Ishu: I love you too baby. Chalo now eat this.

After that Ishu start to feed nandini and nandini was also happily eating from her mother hand. Seeing their bond manik felt sad that he never got to experience such a lovely bond. There were tears in his eyes but he closed his eyes to stop his tears and then he opens his eyes and put a smile on his face to hide his sadness. But Ishita saw how he was trying to smile. She felt bad    to see him like that. Manik who was eating his food silently felt a hand near his mouth. He looks up to see Ishita was sitting next to him with a morsel in her hand. Manik was just looking at her without blinking his eyes.

Ishu: kya aise kya dekh raha hai huh? Chal muh khol.

Manik just quitely open his mouth as he has no words to express. Ishita feeds him the first morsel and manik gulps it down with great difficulty. He gets tears in his eyes seeing this Ishita kissed his forehead. Manik hugged her and cried in her embrace. Ishita also hugged him back understanding his situation.

Man: Thankyou ishi maa.

Ishu( hugged him): Chal khotya. Maa kabhi koi thanks bolta hai kya. Tu bhi toh mere hi beta hai. Tera bhi utna hi haq banta hai mujh par jitna nandu ka banta hai. Samja

Man: ji ishi maa.

After that manik breaks the hug and then Ishu wipes his tears and kisses his head. After that she started feeding manik and nandini. After eating a little manik stopped ishita.

Man: Bas ishi maa. Aur nahi khana.

Ishu: Par manik bacche tune toh abhi half roti hi khaya hai. Itni jaldi kaise Tera hogaya.

Manik was very emotional and he wasn't able to control his emotions and he didn't want anyone to see him vulnerable. so he looked at nandini helplessly. Nandini immediately understood him and said.
