~~Nandini's POV~~
The alarm rings at 7:00 p.m. and I wake up. My kids are hugging me really tight and it is hard to get out of their grip, without disturbing them. I go to the bathroom and stand in front of the mirror there. My eyes are puffy, bloodshot and I look weak. Manik makes me weak. Plus I have to go to that dinner tonight. Tomorrow, I have to start working. Actually, my main profession is modelling but along with modelling, I get offers to do TV advertisements, acting, or whatever. I love acting. Amms always told me that I act really well and should become part of a drama school when I grow up. But I was more science-oriented until I met Manik. My interest in science faded slowly, and I got into music. But after our breakup, all memories I had with music fell apart along with our relationship and I also quit music. I couldn't go back to science after that either. So I decided to take Amms suggestion seriously. I became a model and started becoming a little famous, atleast in the U.S. I don't know about how much people know me here but in the U.S., I was quite famous. I participated in many Indian TV shows which are aired there.

I freshen up and take a shower. I come out of the shower and curl my hair a little. I forget to lock the door and Aryamann enters. He sees me in a towel and I realise he is looking at me with wide eyes. I quickly take my clothes and cover my exposed body. He instantly comes back to his senses and goes out. He closes the door behind him and closes his eyes.

Aryamann: "I am so so sorry, Nandini. I didn't know you were inside. Mein toh bas door ko khula dekha.. aur mein andar aa gaya." He says very fast in order to hide the awkwardness.

Nandini: "It's okay, Aryamann. Its actually my mistake. I should have locked the door. Anyways wait outside... I'll come in 10." He agrees and goes down.

Okay, so let me make one point clear to you all. Even though I am a model, I am still hesitant to expose myself. Yes, I do wear short clothes and I am not that shy now but I don't like to reveal myself too much.

Till now, only Manik has seen my body and I like it that way. Nobody else in this world has the right on my body other than him. I want it to remain that way. Aryamann is just my friend. Yes, I know he has feelings for me but I don't, and I will never. I am a mother now and I think it's better he suppresses his feelings for me because he can never replace the dad of my kids, no matter how much he tries. Manik will always have that place over eveyone in my life.

My Manik is a gem and I will never regret my decision of sleeping with him before our wedding. Yeah, I didn't want to be a single parent and overcome everything on my own for the mistake we committed but at the same time, I can't imagine my life without my kids. I also feel proud of my decision of keeping the kids instead of putting them for adoption, unlike other single moms who give their children away just because they can't take care of them.

I get ready, apply some makeup and change into an blue-ombre dress and white louboutins. I wake the kids up and help them get ready for the dinner party. At 7:30, my phone rings. It's Cabir. He asks me to come to the 'Malhotra Mansion'. Oh, not again! I tell him that I'm on my way. I wish Manik had called me. He took my number this afternoon. I just push that thought away quickly and get everything ready.

~~Manik's POV~~
Cabir ends the call and shows me a 👍 sign. I am not sure if this is going to work. Of course, Nyonika is busy tonight so she won't be a trouble to us. She is shifting to Pune tomorrow forever with Pandit, which means this mansion is all mine because my dad registered it under my name. I can't do anything in this mansion alone though. This place kills me. Since Nyonika is busy tonight, Ramu kaka is busy with her packing and stuff and that's better.
