{Ch- 23} That's My Promise To You.

People says, time passes away like a jiffy. But damn!! Why isn't my time is passing?
It's been only two weeks after me and Reenu getting discharge from the hospital and most irritating part, Manik taking care of us.
I seriously don't want him to be around me but that monster just keep himself glued at my home.
And it's not like his presence affects me.
I swear it doesn't.

Liar!!!

Okay whatever!

He still has that audacity to affect me and whenever he is around me I feel a different sensation run across my whole body. And honestly speaking
I don't like that feeling.

Again a liar no. 1.

Shut-up you clumsy heart!!

In this whole one week, I had noticed many things in him that made me recall my time of being his caretaker.
Suppose
i) Taking care of mine and Reenu's tantrums.
ii) Clearing the mess we create around us.

Though I do this in purpose to make him realize from what I had been through..but!! my heart clench on this.
Am I behaving like him?

Yes your are, Nandu!

Next,

iii) Making him run around us whole day.
Well, I own this part because I love it🙈.

And last not the least 'cause I know their are more to come' was
iv) Making him prepare a Dosa.

No!!

That's not me who made him do so. Its Appa who got this sudden crave at the middle of the night and because Manik was still at our place with Reenu and by Ayappa's lucky grace Amma with Amms and Navya were out for a Maata ki chowki, he had to prepare it for him.

O my god!! It was the most hilarious sight for me to see Monster struggling to make a perfect dosa. But alas after trying out a lot, he gave up.
Of course he would, after all making a Dosa is not a kid's task. But one thing made me amazed was APPA, I mean my Appa patting his back in praise for trying this dish out for him at the middle of the night.

I mean.. You gotta be joking with me.

But seriously, after that night I saw them not feeling awkward with each others presence but still it was hard for both to gel up like a normal person.

Not this, even my Munchkin can't think herself without her FLIEND for a second. Not that Reenu don't want her mumma, but after me if someone she wants on her side then it would be only Manik for her.

I'm not being jealous or something of him as long he is after me on Reenu's priority list but, sometimes I feel scared. Scared because I don't want my baby rely upon Manik because the way he pampers her reflects a father affection for his daughter. And I know somewhere deep down the lane, Reenu considers Manik as her daddy.
And for some reason, even I don't want to burst my baby's consideration bubbles into reality.

"Nandini!!" I was drawn out of my thought when I was snapped by Manik.

"Hmm.haa!!" I was clueless for a second as I saw him standing with a surprising look in front of me.

"What haa? I was calling you since five minutes and you..tum toh apne duniya me busy ho." He said but then in the next he smirked narrowing his eyes while I suspect his sudden change of expression.
