Nandini- tu kyun khada hai....(cutely like a baby)

Manik smiles settle down beside her and nandini adjusts her self in his arm.....and soon she sleeps....

Manik-(stroking her hair)must be tired...(smiles and pecks her forehead)

Then suddenly his phone starts to vibrate....he slowly untwines his right hand which was entwined with him...and picks it up...seeing the caller id he smiles to his fullest...
