MaNan's Kiddo ✅

The First Time They Protected Her

London (Present)

Manik and Nandini got out of the elevator and walked to the parking the butlers were loading the luggage in the car

"Sir all the cars you asked for will be shipped to Mumbai" Jake informed

"Thanks Jake" Manik said as Nandini smiled to him

"Sir" Jake called him softly

"What do you want us to do to this" he said pointing a Jet Black Audi

Manik just stared at the car, he felt Nandini holding his hand

"Ship this one to Jake" Nandini said as she saw Manik zoned out, she excatly knew what he was thinking of

London (5 years ago)

It has been a month since Manik appointed Avni

Manik was working in the lab when he heard Keren

"Boss, Ma'am is calling you to have some snacks"

Manik walked out and saw Nandini siting on the living room her things spread out, it was her final submission tomorrow. Manik picked up the Indian French toast she had made and started eating he was famished.

"Keren check if the lab floor has any pointed things left, Avni walks bare foot, she can get hurt" Manik said walking to Nandini and dropped a kiss on her crown

"Sure Sir" the AI replied

"Don't be so stressed Nandu" he said seeing frowns on her forehead and she just nooded yes

"Want me to get some Gulab jamun for you?" he asked

"Avni is already getting them" Nandini gave him a cheeky smile

"The floor is clear boss and Avni is here" Keren said and the door opened revealing Avni

Looking at her MaNan were on their toes

"What the hell happened?" Manik asked looking at her deshaved state

"Nothing" Avni replied

"Nothing?" Nandini asked sternly

"God you are bleeding" she said looking at Avni's wrist

The next second Avni was dragged by her and made to sit on couch and Nandini was doing her first aid

Manik kept looking at Avni for an answer

"I was mugged" Avni said finally making the two grasped

"Oh nothing to worry I had nothing valuable to give them but they took away the Gulab Jamun's Mrs Malhotra" she said sad

"Did they hurt you anywhere else?" Nandini asked as she nooded no

"Did they, did they touch you Kiddo?" Manik asked worried

Holding a lump in her throat she nooded no, someone was worried for her was an overwhelming feeling

As she nodded no relief washed through Manik

"Keren ask Jake to be here" Manik said to the AI

"Sure boss" Keren replied

Jake entered five minutes later as Nandini was cleaning the wound on the wrist

"Jake you will pick and drop Avni everyday now" Manik said as Jake nooded

"It won't be needed Mr Mal..."

"End of discussion Kiddo" Manik said in a tone of finality and walked to Jake

They both walked away
