"No Go! Go I want gulab jamun with vanilla ice cream. Ho get it for me!" Nandini yelled
"Nandini sube ke 3:30 baje kaha se lau main?" Manik asked
"Janum se lao! Mujhe nahi pata par leke aao" she was yelling and he was still processing his sleep
"Par Jaan..."
"Yeh Mumbai hai Manik kahi na kahi toh mil ho jayega tumhe" she said
"Par tumhe bahar ka nahi khana hai na" he said
"Mujhe nahi pata! Mujhe kuch nahi pata! Jao! Go!" she was shoving him out of the bed.
"Kya musibat ho yaar tum" he said but then widen his eyes and stopped. He turned to look at her. She was glaring at him already. Then she took her blanket and slept covering herself fully.
"Jaan" Manik said sitting besides her on the bed holding a bowl full of vanilla ice cream and gulab jamun. "Aye Jaan" he said pulled her blanket to see her wiping her tears "Nandini" he kept the bowl away "Why are you crying?" he asked making her sit. She wiped her tears. And he did to. "Was it because of what I said earlier? I am sorry" he wiped her tears gently
"Nahi. I am sorry. Abhi it's just three months and I am already Makin your life hell. I am sorry Manik main bahut parents kar rahi hu na tumhe" she said. He kissed her forehead and hugged her
"Haan toh karo na. Haq hai tumhara. Mujhe nahi yoh aur kise pareshan karogi tum? Padosi ko?" he asked. He took the bowl and gave it to her. She started to eat and then gave little bit to Manik. He ate and held her in his arms
"Tum rona nahi haan" he said
"Tum rogi toh humara baby will be cry baby" he said
"Aisa kuch nahi hota" she said chuckling while eating
"Hota hai" he said and she laughed more. He smiled seeing her laugh.

Manik held on to her hand as they were walking in the mall.
"Kuch aur chahiye?" Manik asked her and she nodded no
"ManAn would have loved to play in bounce" she said as they passed by the bounce.
"Haan but abhi school hai na unn ka. And it's a new school toh let's not make them take chutti unless it's necessary" Manik said walking with her
"Manik your Maa called again" Nandini said Makin him sigh
"You told her?" he asked
"Yes. I have been telling her everytime. But she says that since we have now shifted here to Mumbai we should stay with them atleast till my pregnancy" she said and he put her hand around her shoulder
"Just say no ok" Manik said and she nodded
"Manik are we wrong?" she asked him
"No we are not. It's just we don't trust them. And it's ok Nandini. Kuch rishte jo jud nahi sakte woh bikhar ke bhi saath ho sakte hai. For me you are important bas. Tumhe jo chahiye woh hoga." he said and she nodded.
"We can tell them ki they can come visit whenever they want" Nandini said and Manik's nodded.
"Hey Nandini" they heard and Nandini turned to see a couple with a little girl. She took a time but recognised the couple
"Hi Sharad and Sharda" Nandini said greeting them
"It's so nice to meet you. How are you?" The girl said. Nandini was wearing an oversized tshirt so her bump was not visible yet
"Yeha I am good. He is Manik, mu husband" Nandini said
"Oh you got married" Sharad said with a smile "Good good" he added
