He moved to the kitchen and sat on the table kept at the corner. Hearing his steps, she looked at him and gave a bright smile which made a small curve on his lips, but he realized before it could form into a smile.
“Idhar aao!”, he said strictly which confused her again. On realizing that she didn’t understand him or pretended not to understand he rolled his eyes and stressed both words, “Idhar. Aao!”
She took a second to understand his words and after realizing that he’s calling her, she wiped her hands and stood before him.
His eyes followed all her movements. Her actions confused her. She couldn’t understand him, but she knows all the etiquettes.
“Yeh sari tumhari chize hai?”, he asked her but looking at her confused face he muttered to himself, “Fine! Let’s play your game!” and said slowly, stressing every word, “Yeh. Saari. Chize. Tumhari. Hai?”
She nodded with a smile and took the packet from his hand which shocked him. Every fucking criminal is scared of him and here, this little girl, who didn’t even reach till his neck, even when he’s sitting, is not at all scared of him.
She took out an old small dirty teddy and showed him, “Nan.. nan.. Coco..”
Though Manik couldn’t understand her, he nodded anyway. She smiled on his approval to move further and handed him the teddy. To his own surprise, Manik didn’t throw the stuffed toy.
She took out another broken car and showed him. He looked at her smile and shining eyes when she showed those old broken toys. Then she showed him a frock. To his surprise, he was patiently looking and nodding at her after she showed her things. Not for once, he threw her things which she handed him. At the end, she showed a small pencil and a calendar.
“Yeh. saari. tumhari. Hai?”, he asked softly looking into her twinkling eyes. She took a second to understand and nodded with a big smile, “Nann.. nann.. ki..”
He kept her things on the table and forwards her hand to her, “Dosti. karogi. mujhse?”
She looked at his hand and kept her hand on his after a second making him smile.
“Chalo. mery. saath!”, he said and took her out of the kitchen holding her hand.
Abhi, who was investing with the neighbours, looked at him in confusion, “Manik? Where he is taking her?”
He followed him and found himself in the princess room of the house which they assumed to be of Vikas Murthy's daughter.
Manik took the big teddy of his own height and dragged it to Nandini who was standing near the gate, "Tumhara. hua. aaj. sey."
Nandini took a second to understand him and when she realised what he meant her eyes widens and she nodded in no, "Aa.. Aliaa… No.. Nan.. Nan.."
Manik cupped her face and said, "Main. Dost. Yeh. Tumhra.!"
"Parr..", she tried to object when he said,"Main hoon tumharey saath."
Their eyes locked for minutes and M anik kissed her forehead deeply taking her trust. She smiled as someone for the first time showed some affection to her. It was new and warm feelings.
Patting her cheek in affection, her left the room but stopped looking at Abhi, "I want cctv camera in the entire villa within an hour. Koi jagah nhi rhni chiye."
"Tu kya kar rha hai Manik.", Abhi asked even though he clearly knows what Manik is upto.
"Jo ek criminal k saath karna chiye!", he answered and left the place while Abhi chuckled on him, "Khud sey bhag rha hai pagal. Tu kabhi kisi k liye soft nhi hota Manik when it comes to your duty aur yahan", he looked at Nandini who was trying to drag the heavy teddy out of the room.
He went to her and asked with a soft cheeky smile, "Main kuch help karu?"
Looking at her confused face, he pointed towards the teddy to help but she took it wrong and hugged the teddy, "Manik!"
His eyes widen on her gesture and he laughed looking at her who dragged the teddy throwing a nasty look to him, "Phool dono taraf khile rhe hai!"
