The constant ringing of doorbell disturbed Manik's deep slumber and he tried to open his tired eyes with a frown.
When it rang again, he hissed in irritation but a little smile landed on his lips when his eyes met their wedding picture on the side table.
"Arrgghhhh" He groaned when the doorbell rang again and he yelled "Nanduuuu...Someone's at the door..." and stuffed his head with another pillow.
Hearing no response from her and upon hearing the bell again and again, he kicked the duvet and looked around for Nandini.
"Nandu yaar...Just check the door na..." He tried his luck again but huffed in annoyance, got up from the bed and checked in the washroom for her.
He climbed down the stairs yawning and his eyes fell on Nandini who was standing casually, still in her night suit, probably after preparing breakfast.
"Yaar...Where were you...!?? Someone's at the door...Check na..." Manik said after placing a soft kiss on side of her head.
When he was about to sit on the couch, Nandini said "That someone...is waiting for you...specially for you..."
He looked at her with a frown and she said "Jaa ke dekhiye na..."
Passing a doubtful stare at her, he opened at the door to find none but when he felt a tug on his track pants, he looked down and his eyes shone with happiness.
"Oh my dear princess Naina..." He said picking the 3 and half year old Naina, followed by the sister from orphanage.
She was the first babygirl that Manik took in his arms when she was merely days' old. He named her on his birthday and took care of her every need since then.
Manik and Nandini made sure to visit the orphanage atleast thrice a month and from the last month, he couldn't make it up because of his outdoor shoot. It was only Nandini who visited Naina and she missed Manik a lot.
He came inside with Naina in his arms who was dropping pecks on his cheek, probably too happy after seeing her favorite person.
"I missed you so much..." Manik said pecking her cheek while she too did the same and said "Acha toh aye kyun nahi to see me..."
"I had an outdoor shoot baby...Sorry..." He said taking a seat on the couch and placed her on his lap.
"Ohh...I saw you in TV...But...I misshed you too Hero...Ittaaa saara..." Naina said spreading her hands wide and he pulled her softly to his chest.
"Thank you sister for bringing her here upon my request..." Nandini said after offering coffee to the sister who came along.
"That's completely fine..." The sister smiled and they looked at the duo who were busy playing their imaginary games already.
"We will drop her in the evening sister...You don't have to worry..." Nandini said and she nodded before leaving.
"Okay...Breakfast time..." Nandini announced gaining the duo's attention and said "Suniye...Aap fresh ho kar ayiye...I'll set the breakfast table ready..."
"You need any help??" He said getting up while Nandini nodded in no and said "Naina hai na...She will help me...Hai na baby...??"
She bobbed her head and ran to Nandini saying "Yes...I'll help Nannini..."
Manik chuckled at her pronunciation and ruffled her hairs before moving to freshen up.
They spent the whole day with the little one and dropped her in the orphanage once she dozed off on Manik's chest.
They settled on the bed and he placed a kiss on her forehead with a happy smile.
"Thank you Nandu...You always know what I want..." He said and she cupped his cheek with her one hand and said "I know you couldn't make it up from last one month and you just returned last night...You have got this one day to be free...Your next shoot resumes tomorrow...You are too tired and I don't want you to feel guilty for missing to visit her again..."
