Flash back

Manik is sitting in his office thinking about how much happy Nandini will be if the pregnancy report come positive...

M(in mind) : she will be mad in happiness... But I know being my fireflies instead of smiling she will cry in happiness... The one of her kind... God I just want to gather her in my arms.. But wait...What if the report come negative... She will be shattered... Pls God don't let anything go wrong... Wait what if the pathology center send the report to home & she read it & found............. Shittt.. She will be alone at home.. What if something... No she will be alright... Shitt.. How fool of me... I have to get the report before it reach to Nandini...

Thinking all this Manik left the office informing Mr.Singh to see the further work... A sudden gush of fear appear in his heart.. He started to feel heavy in his heart.. He just rub above his heart with one hand where holding the stearing with another hand... He felt his hands become sweaty... after reaching the pathology center Manik took a deep breath to gather his courage & enter...

He come to the counter & asked the receptionist...

M: Excuse me..

Rec: Hello sir.. How can i help you..

Rec: sure sir.. Wait a min..

Then the receptionist check the list in her laptop & said..

M: it's ok miss.. No problem.. Umm can I take the report by myself?

Rec: ya.. Sure sir.. Go straight.. to the xyz counter & get it...

Then Manik got the report & open it with shivering hands.. But the moment he saw the report is positive he was in cloud 9... He hug an unknown man who was passing by him out of happiness...
