"Baby..! Clothes...!"Nandini came inside the room and Manik was in shower. She took out his clothes and placed on the bed..
"Your clothes are out Manik..!"She spoke and after sometime Manik came out of the bathroom in just a towel which made Nandini smiled.
"Ahh..! My lucky clothes..! Thank you..!"Manik exclaimed as he saw his lucky clothes on the bed and Nandini started getting ready. Manik wore his clothes all the time staring at Nandini who was not even glancing at him. She had frowns on her face and her eyes were swollen..
"Roi ho?"He asked holding her shoulders and turned her towards him..

"Stop it Manik..! Stop bossing me all the time..! Don't suffocate me! I need my space!"Suddenly Nandini yelled and Manik was shocked! Hurt!
"You need space?"He asked in a hurt tone staring at her face and she bit her lip. She was so stupid! She had hurt him..! But her anger was not letting her think properly! She was tensed! Come on what can you expect from a 20 and half year old pregnant girl who's husband was not ready for a baby? She glared at Manik and walked out of the room without replying. Manik was so hurt! A superb day started with a bad event...! What was more to come?

Roothe khaabon ko mana lenge
Kati patango ko thaamenge
Haa haa hai jazba
Ho ho hai jazba
Suljha lenge uljhe rishton ka manjha
Hmm ka manjha, hmm ka manjha...
Manik started with eyes closed followed by Cabir and Dhruv..! They were singing classical fusion! And obviously was rocking it..!
Soyi taqdeere jaga denge
Kal ko ambar jhuka denge
Haa haa, hai jazba
Ho ho, hai jazba
Suljha lenge uljhe rishton ka manjha
Hmm manjha...
Fab 5 were singing with full enthusiasm..! While Nandini placed her hand on the tummy! She knew her baby was also was praying for her Papa! Wait? A girl! Nandini smiled to herself!
Ho ho barfeeli, aankhon mein
Pighla sa dekhenge hum kal ka chehra
Ho ho pathreele, seene mein
Ubla sa dekhenge hum lawa gehra
Agan lagi, Lagan lagi
Toote na, toote na jazba ye toote na
Magan lagi, Lagan lagi
Kal hoga kya keh do
Kis ko hai parwah
Parwah... parwah...
Manik sang along with Cabir and Dhruv. They held each other's hands and sang. They mean all those words! Yes they do!
Roothe khaabon ko mana lenge
Kati patango ko thaamenge
Haa haa hai jazba
Ho ho hai jazba
Suljha lenge uljhe rishton ka manjha
Hmm manja, hmm manja...
Manik sang last lines and look at Nandini who mouthed an I love you for him..! He smiled and concentrated on his song...!
Manik ended the song and Nandini came back to dressing room. It was time for thakars now and after that her turn finally! She need to get ready and suddenly her stomach growled..
"Baby ko bhook lagi hai? Mumma is very bad na?"She talked to her baby and smiled..! Parenthood was an awesome experience she just wished Manik didn't get angry on her..! She wanted a happy life! No more drama..!

"Am good! All set for performance!"She was excited as well as nervous..
"Hmm..! You know Nandini! Am here to tell you something!"Aryaman started and Nandini gave him a confused smile..! "My name is Aryaman Khana! You know who other Khana you met before?"He asked politely and Nandini gasped. She covered her mouth..! Rahul!
"Hey! Relax! Am not here to harm you! Though I came to harm you actually but! When I met you! I spent time with you and saw how protective Manik is for you I chucked all the plans of doing so!
