Nandini's Birthday (Part 2)

After having lunch the Malhotras were going home

"Happy Birthday Maa" Advay again wished Nandini kissing her cheeks and giving her his card

"Aadi you are wishing Di for the 100th time" Rishab teased him as Advay pouted looking at Nandini

"He learns from the best" Nandini said kissing Advay's cheeks saying a Thank you and Manik grined remembering her first Birthday they celebrated in Mangalore

"Oooooo" Rishab and Avni 'o' giggling as Advay looked at them confused

"Yeh compliment kiske liye tha?" Rishab asked making Avni laugh and MaNan blush

"Shut up!" Nandini tried to glare at them.

They reached home and Manik parked the car in the basement. They got down and made way to the lift when a guard came running to them. 

"Ma'am koi aaya tha yeh dekar gaya hai" he said giving Nandini a bag

Confused Nandini took the bag and thanked the guard

"Kya hai?" Manik asked her holding the lift door for her

"Don't know" she said getting in the lift and the door closed

She opened the bag, it was a box, looked like some jewelry. She opened the box to see a wristlet and then in the other box they were earrings, both were made of diamond and platinum, looking very expensive.

Puzzled she looked at the box which had nothing but a note 'Happy Birthday Nandini'

She looked in the bag and found another note. 

'Dear Nandini,

We know we lost the right but would like to wish you all the happiness and love in your life. Thank you for being there for our Manik.

With Love,

Raj And Neyonika.'

She looked at Manik who was busy talking to the kids and quickly packed everything. Her rushed actions took his attention but till then she had already packed the boxes in the bag

"Kya tha?" he asked

"A business associate sent wishes with a gift" she replied as he nodded getting back in conversation with Advay. She wanted to tell him, and she will, just not today. Today when she could see him so happy

The lift 'binged' opening the door in their penthouse. Everyone dispersed to get ready for 'Movie Time' in their pajamas

Nandini kept the bag in her wardrobe and went to change as Manik was freshening up

When Avni walked in the living area to find no one, she made way near the TV and opened the shelf which had all the movie collection, she was sorting out the movies when she heard someone walk in, she looked up to find Manik giving her a smile and sitting on the sofa

"Maa?" she asked

"Making Advay ready" he said as Avni walked to him with the movies for him to select one, she sat near his leg on the floor

Looking at the movies Manik started to crease her hairs as she rested her head on his lap

"Everything is ok in college Kiddo?" Manik asked her, and she knew this was coming

"Haan Dad, nothing I could not handle" she said as Manik gave her his total attention 

"You trust me na?" she asked him

"I do, I know you are strong enough" he said creasing her hairs

"But I wanted you to know, you have us now, if you need us you just have to say" he continued
