Sunday (Late night)

"Oww" Avni winched in her sleep as Manik creased her left cheek. He traced the finger prints on the cheek, they were light but he could see them. A lone tear rolled down his cheek but he didn't let it fall but wiped it with the sleeves of his kurta

He sat besides her creasing her hairs and her forehead when he saw frowning and winch in her sleep

Manik lovingly stroke her forehead and adored her face, he felt a lot of emotions at same time making him restless and so he opt for something which will give him peace. Looking at Avni he started to sing

Surmayee Ankhiyon Main
Nanha Munna Ek Sapana De Jaa Re

Manik sang sitting on the ground keeping his head on the bed looking at Avni

Surmayee Ankhiyon Main
Nanha Munna Ek Sapana De Jaa Re
Nindiya Ke Udate Paakhi Re
Ankhiyon Main Aaja Saathi Re

Nandini was taking a stroll in the attached terrace, she heard Manik's voice and made way towards the voice adjusting her shwal

Raa Ree Raa Rum O Raaree Rum
Raa Ree Raa Rum O Raaree Rum

Manik sang taking Avni's hand in his to believe that she was there infront of him.

Nandini stood at the door looking at the father- daughter.

Surmayee Ankhiyon Main
Nanha Munna Ek Sapana De Jaa Re

Manik sang and kissed Avni's plams. Nandini leaned on the door frame as a tear rolled down her cheek

Sachcha Koi Sapanaa Dejaa
Mujhako Koi Apanaa Dejaa
Anajaana Sa Magar Kuchh Pehchaana Sa

Manik sang remembering the time he use to sing this same song for both daughters  when they use to cry at night

Halka Phulka Shabanami
Resham Se Bhi Reshmi
Surmayee Ankhiyon Main
Nanha Munna Ek Sapana De Jaa Re
Nindiya Ke Udate Paakhi Re
Ankhiyon Main Aaja Saathi Re

Avni's sleep broke as she heard Manik sing the above lines. A snoothing voice felt on her ears, she wanted to open the eyes but she felt a hand crease her hand very lovingly. It was him, she had heard him sing, her Dadu did give her her father's songs. This made her feel so happy.

Raa Ree Raa Rum O Raaree Rum
Raa Ree Raa Rum O Raaree Rum

He was singing for her! Her father was singing for her!

Raat Ke Rath Par Jaane Vaale
Neend Ka Ras Barsaane Vaale
Itana Kar De Ki Meri Aankhen Bhar De

Manik got up and sat besides Avni, resting his back at the head rest. And shifted Avni's head in his lap. She snuggled in his lap

Ankhon Main Basthaa Rahe
Sapana Ye Hasthaa Rahe

Manik traced his hands in her hair length and Avni tried not to cry, she just snuggle more feeling his warmth

Surmayee Ankhiyon Main
Nanha Munna Ek Sapana De Jaa Re
Nindiya Ke Udate Paakhi Re
Ankhiyon Maon Aaja Saathi Re
