I interlocked my fingers with hers and we walked towards my dad's room. I was getting agitated even being close to this human but it had to be done.
"Come in" we heard ma as soon as we knocked
As we walked in, we saw ma sitting with raj uncle and my dad beside his new future wife.
"Manik relax" nandini whispered beside me making me realize how stressed out I was
"Manik" my dad whispered
I would be lying if I said I didin't see his eyes water a little but It was all his fucking fault so he is not gonna make me guilty
"Lets get this over with, I only came because ma and nadnni forced me to so start talking before I change my mind" I said and nandini pulled my arm
"Sorry for his behaviour, he was just up late last night so he is a bit cranky. Congratulations uncle" she said and he smiled at her
He got up and walked to me.
"I know you don't like me, you didn't wanna be here either but I really wanted to get this off my chest before stepping into this new life"
He walked to mom and she grabbed onto raj uncle's hand who just smiled at, he mouthed 'it's okay' and she nodded getting up
"I have hurt you a lot nyonika and I am deeply sorry for that. I know nothing in this world can replace that hurt you must have went through and it was my fault a 100%. I cheated on you but not because I didn't love you but because I felt suffocated with everyhting. I still and I forever will love you but I am not in love with you anymore. That day when I cheated on you I was drunk but I swear I regretted it the very instant"
"You did not, you went and did it again" she said
"I did and im sorry. I knew we were slipping away god, we were slipping for a long time, but when I cheated on you that's when I knew I was dragging this on for manik"
"That I can agree with but you could have just told me instead of going around and cheating on me"
"I know" he mumbled looking down
"Mahesh you will always be my first love but I do agree that you and I fell out of love very quick but I wished you didn't run away like a coward leaving behind your son and his mother. All I wanted and expected from you was 'hey nyonika I am very sorry but I am not in love with you but can we coparent because I love my son' but all I got was cheat" she said
I realized that ma wasn't hurt anymore, she wasn't even upset, she had forgiven him or forgotten, I am not sure but she is happy with raj uncle, I can see that.
"It's okay mahesh, I'm not hurt anymore, I understand you needed out however the choice you took was wrong but I am not holding anything against you" she said smiling at him
"Do you think we can still be friends" he asked and she laughed
"Best friends" she said and he chuckled
"Best friends" he repeated hugging her
She sat back down with the brightest smile as soon as she felt raj uncle touch her back.
"Manik I owe you a bigger apology"
"Damn well you do" I said and nandini glared at me
"Nandini beta it's okay, I deserve his hate" he said
"He is a coconut you know this uncle" she said giggling and I grabbed her arm making her sit and he smiled at me
Her one smile can calm me down no matter how angry or stressed I am
"Manik I know I shouldn't have ran away. I am not gonna give you an excuse, not even a single one. I should have been a good parent and talked to you but I didn't. I have been living with this guilt and even now that I am getting married I couldn't without talking to you. I know you hate me"
"I do not" I whispered and heard nandini squeal like a seal
"Sorry I got excited" she said laying her head on my shoulder
"Please manik, give me a chance" he was pleading
"I cannot just put eveyrhintg behind me, I can't. I craved for your fucking love every single day. I thought I was the reason behind you two breaking up but no, I was becasue you cheated and fell out of love. Every school meeting I saw everyone's dad there but mine wasn't. The hurt and pain I went through is nothing compared to what your guilt is. I do agree that keeping this against you forever is bullshit and a waste of my fucking energy"
"Does this mean there is a chance that you would be willing to forgive me" he asked
I looked at ma and she nodded, then I looked at Nandini who was figuratively jumping up and down nodding, there was a glint in her eyes. Finally I looked at raj uncle because he was a part of our family too. He nodded smiling too.
"There is a chance but do not blow it over or there isn't gonna be a second chance"
"I promise I will mend this manik, thank you so much" he said walking closer hopping for a hug and nandini pushed me a little towards him
I lightly hugged him and I couldn't help but feel at peace hugging him. I pulled away and walked to the new wife ahh whatever I should drop it
"Im sorry that this all went down but congratulations" I said and she smiled
"Congratulations dad" I said and nadnini was now jumping up and down running around ma and raj uncle
"Nandini calm down" ma said
"Ahhh this is so very exciting" she said jumping
"Jaan come here" I said and she ran to me making everyone laugh
"Manik I am so happyyyyyy" she chirped and I kissed her head
"I know baby, but just slow down please" I said and she leaned on my chest closing her eyes
"Im sleepy" she mummbled
"Just. A few more hours then we can sleep" she nodded in my chest
"Lets go get married" my dad said chuckling and everyone got up walking outside
Nandini and I walked outside hand in hand until we got to our seats. The wedding ceremony started and as the bride was walking down nandini put her head on my shoulder while I caressed her hand
"One day in the future it will be you walking down that aisle" I whispered and she giggled and kissed my cheek
"I cannot wait for that" she mummbled making me smile
The ceremony went on for a bit and we finished eating.
"All the couples in the building get on the dance floor for a romantic number" the dj said and nandini grinned
"Meko bhi dance karna hai" she said pouting
"Okay lets go" I said
I wrapped my arms around her waist while hers rested on my biceps. She looked so cute with my jacket over her gown. We were swaying and she looked up at me eyeing my lips
I smiled seeing that she wants to kiss me, I leaned down and placed my lips on her for a short sweet kiss.
As we swayed with the music she rested her head on my chest so I pecked her head.
My life has changed so fast and quick but I am not complaining at all. Everything my life was missing is back because of this little angel with me. I love her so much.
This relationship started with being in love with her at our first fight, from being a professional relationship to this loveable relationship, this is all I needed.
"I love you manik" she said looking up resting her chin on my chest
"I love you so much more my love" I whispered against her lips
