MaNan's Kiddo ✅

The First Time They Hurt Her

London (5 years ago)

Manik had carried the unconscious Avni to her room and both Nandini and him were sitting besides her all time. The others had left them. They know what was coming ahead and they wanted to give MaNan that time, maybe the last few hours with her

Nandini was crying continuously, and Manik he was just looking at Avni and Nandini

"Nandu tumhari taybat kharab ho jayegi, you are pregnant baby" he said hiding her in her arms

"Manik... Avni... Please" she cried

"We have to let her go Nandini" he said with a stone face

Nandini remembered what Raj and Neyonika said and nooded her head positively

"You will be strong right?" he asked and she again nooded yes withdrawing from his arms

"Maa..." They heard Avni and turned to her

She got up holding her head, and looked at MaNan who looked concern

"What happened?" she asked confused

"You were found unconscious in the locker room, did you not had anything for lunch Kiddo?" Manik asked

"I did" she said straining her memory

"Jeffrey gave me this chocolate and I felt giddy" she said pressing her plams at both side of her head

"I... I don't remember after that" she said

"You guys found me in the locker room?" she asked still confused

"Yes" Manik said and stood up with Nandini

"And now toh sleep" he said as Nandini made her lay and Manik covered her with a blanket

"I feel my head heavy and it pains" Avni complained

"It will go away" Nandini said and planted a kiss on her forehead

"Good night Kiddo" they said sitting besides her

"Good night Maa, good night Dad" she mummled and slept

MaNan sat there watching her sleep the whole night

It was morning when everyone was on the breakfast table except Manik

Manik stood in his room and looked at the Adoption Papers which stated was their intern Avni was now legally his daughter Avni Manik Malhotra

He kept the paper in the drawer and took an envelope, and turned to find Nandini standing there

"You ready?" she asked and he just nooded yes in determination

They walked out to see their family enjoying the breakfast

"Hey fellas, I have an announcement to make" Manik said cheerfully

"Avni can you come here?" he gestured as Avni came and stood in front of him

He handed the envelope to her

"What is it Manik?" Mukti asked as Avni tare the envelope

"My termination letter" Avni said shocked

"Yes" Manik said arrogantly

"Is something wrong Da..."

"That was the deal with your school, term over internship over" he stated

"Give all your passes and ID to Jen before you leave" Manik started and Walked to his lab

Agni looked at Nandini who stood there with blank face and and then the retreating figure of Manik both trying not to burst out
