Manvi woke up and saw Nandini still
sleeping. She carefully untangled herself
from Nandini taking care that she don't
disturb her Mama's beauty sleep. She
adjusted blanket over Nandini and gently
kissed Nandini's hurt finger. Then she
sneaked out of the room. She went to her
room and washed her face then she brushed
her teeth. She picked up smurfy who was
busy in trying to chew her ball and came out
of the room. She slowly came down stairs
and saw Manik busy. Then Manik look at
her and came towards her.
...
Manik was sitting in the lounge fully
concentrated on his video conference.
Laptop was placed in front of him on the
table and he listening to the terms and
conditions to the other delegates. Suddenly
he saw Manvi coming down the stairs
sleepily rubbing her eyes smurfy was in her
hands. Manik excused himself for a while
and came towards Manvi. He swiftly picked
up Manvi her face was wet that means she
had washed her face.
"Slept well?"Manik asked softly kissing her
hair and wiping water droplets from her
face. She sleepily nodded her rested her
head on Manik's shoulder. Manik came back
to his laptop and sat on the sofa. The people
on the other side were waiting for Manik.
Manvi snuggled in Manik's lap and again
closed her eyes Smurfy also started dozing
off Manik held Manvi close.
"So gentlemen where were we?"Manik said
to them as they were busy in adoring Papa
daughter bond. Meeting started again and
Manvi quietly kept playing with Manik's
bracelet and smurfy. She not for once tried
to distract Manik maybe she realized that his
work was very important. After pretty long
30 minutes Manik cracked the deal and after
exchanging greetings Manik shut his
laptop.
"Hmm..!! So Papa ki jaan tou bohat
samjhdaar hai..!!"Manik said lovingly kissing
her forehead. As he was very happy with his
daughter's understanding as she didn't

smiled and hugged Manik. Manik kissed her
face madly silently praying for his love to
keep smiling like this forever. Both were
busy in talking when Maniik heard a voice
which made his heart jump with joy.
"I am home..!!"Mr.Ronit Malhotra shouted
happily standing in the main door. Manik
run towards the door and Manvi confusingly
followed him. Manik banged in
Mr.Malhotra's chest and hugged him like a
two year old boy.

Manvi was standing a little confused hands
on her waist.
"I missed you so much Dad..!!"Manik said
breaking the hug.

emotionally and kissed Manik's forehead.
"Kitna bara ho gya hai

smiled widely. Meanwhile Butler came with

hands. Manik glared at Mr.Malhotra
angrily.
