CHAPTER-14

MANIK P.O.V.

She thought for a moment, then pressed a bell.

" I want warm milk in a baby bottle. Bring it quickly." she ordered.

"sure ma'am." he exited.

"Manik, come, I will show you the room."

Navya took me to the room. I sat on the bed with nandini on my lap.

"I will be back." she left.

I looked towards Nandini, she was sleeping while sucking the lollipop without taking off the wrapper. I smiled at how she did everything for the lollipop and chocolate but still did not eat them, just holding them close to her.I took the lollipop out of her mouth. She started wiggling before i could do anything. Navya enters with a baby bottle in her hand.

"Make her drink it." she said, forwarding the bottle towards me.

I took it and put it in her mouth. She started sucking hungrily.

"Manik, make her drink it slowly otherwise she will choke." Navya said.

"Baby drink it slowly. It is your baby. No one is going to take it away." I said, rubbing her chest.

 After finishing half the bottle, she stopped sucking but did not leave the bottle.

"I guess she is full. Now, put the bottle aside and make her burp." navya said.

I put the bottle aside.

"how?" i said.

"What?" she said, confused.

" How do i make her burp?" i asked her again.

"ohhhh.."

"Put her head on your shoulder so that you will be able to rub her back. Pat her on the back. That's it." she explained.

I did as instructed.

"Manik, you can make nandini rest now. I have work, so i have to leave."

"ok."

I said and made nandini lay down on the bed. I stood up and called dhruv to ask about the situation. I was talking to him but when i heard nandini sobbing,

"Dhruv, i want all the details as soon as possible." I ordered and cut the call.

i lay beside nandini and hugged her.

"shhhhh.... i am here love."

She recognized me and stopped crying. She started snuggling into my chest. I smiled and slept with her.

My sleep broke with a knock and I saw Navya standing at the door smiling mischievously.

I was confused, then I saw nandini literally sleeping on me and my hands were on her hair and bum.

My eyes softened. I tried to put her on the bed, but she did not leave me. I sat on the bed.

" so, what about the reports? Is she ok?" i asked coldly.

" Truth to be told, she is not," Navya replied.

"hmm..."

"till she is sleeping, why not we just have a talk?" she said.

"hmmm.. "I moved out with her, not before making my baby sleep while cuddling a pillow.

"so?"

"Manik, she has nutrient deficiency and, by looking at reports, I can say that she has not been vaccinated in her life. That is the reason for her being so fragile and I want to ask you some questions."

"hmm"

"what is her sleeping schedule? I mean to ask if she is an early riser or a deep sleeper."

"she is definitely a deep sleeper, but when i am not with her, she wakes up." 

"okay"

"What about her speaking skills?"

"She does not speak much. I have to guide her to address herself."

"Do you not find it odd?"

"i did, but i love it when she looks at me after doing something, as if she is asking if she is doing it right or not. Why are you asking this?"

"That's so sweet of you, manik. Actually, it is confirmed that Nandini is little, and we can find her age by some tests. According to me, she can be 1 to 3 age group."

"Did she pee in her bed last night."

" no she did not. "

"Did she pee in her bed last night."

" no she did not. "

".."

"she will be fine, right?"

"i won't lie, manik, but she will remain a little whole life."

"i do not have any problem regarding that, but what about her physical health? "

"Manik, she will be alright, but she needs to be injected now with 7 injections and then 2 injections every month till she is alright."

"7, that's too much. i do not think she will be able to handle them."

"I know, but she needs to. We do not have any option. "

"hmmm... "

"okkkkkk......so I will prepare the injections."

"hmmm..."

I stood up and went inside the room.

"baby." I said, kissing her cheeks.

"mmmmm....." she just meowed, keeping her hands on my neck and pulling me to her chest.

"Come on, wake up jaan. Do you not want to play? "

"ok, so you will not wake up, so i will have to call my monster. "Tickle monster.""

I said and started tickling her. She laughed so cutely.

"n..no...no...dadda..no..ti..tickle..it...hurts.." she said while laughing.

"No, I will tickle you. You were not listening to me na. Now i will not listen to you."

"dadda...daada.no..dadda...me..ti..tired." she said laughing.

I stopped tickling.

"ok..ok..now let's freshen up..."

I stood up and stood near the bed.

"Come on, my princess." I said opening my arms for her.

she jumped on me and i caught her.

"dadda, pee."

"yes princess, just a second."

I took her to the washroom. I made her stand on the floor and then take her pantries off to her knees. I made sit on the pot.

"dadda..potty.."

"yes.. jaan.. you can potty.. daddy will clean you up."
