"Manvi..! Mama Papa aa jyen gay chanda..!"Nayonika again tried to pacify Manvi as her cries and shouts were never coming to an end..!
"No..! Mama..! Papa..!"She shouted between her cries..
"Aray ap tou Grandpa kay itny strong baby ho na..! Don't cry..!"Mr.Malhotra tried to wipe her tears but she jumped off the couch and started running towards the main door..! She stumbled a little and was about to fall when luckily Manik came..! He immediately held her in his strong arms and picked her up..
"Papaaa..!"Manvi shouted hysterically and clung to Manik..! Nandini was standing hell worried beside Manik what was happening to her little bundle of joy..
"Ji ji..! Papa yahen hain apny betay kay pass..! Bus..!"Manik patiently patted her back as she shivered badly..! Suddenly she broke the hug and look at Nandini who had tears in her eyes..
"Mama..!"She shouted for Nandini too and Nandini immediately took her from Manik's arms..! Manvi hugged Nandini tightly and sobbed in her hair as she was constantly murmuring 'Mama'...
"Kya hua mery baby ko? Bus shhh..!"Nandini held her tears back and patted her head..! She walked to their room with Manvi..! Mr and Mrs Malhotra were looking at Manik for an answer.
"Why is she behaving like this?"Mr.Malhotra asked curiously.
"Trust me Dad..! Mjy koi idea ni hai..!"Manik too was helpless..
"Don't you think Manvi needs a doctor..!"Nayonika said hesitantly she had a doubt if Manik would mind about this..
"You are right Mom..! I have already talked to Nandini..! We too are thinking for a detail checkup for Manvi..!"Manik said and other both nodded..! "Main dekhta hoon dono ko..!"Manik said and walked to the room..!
-------------------------
"Mama..!"Manvi's blabber and whine of Mama was still ON lying with Nandini on the bed..
"Ji mama..!"Nandini said kissing her hair and Manvi clinged to her more..! Nandini was too much worried..!
"Ap mjy chool(choor) kay chaly jaoa gay?"She asked with teary eyes..!
"Meri jaan meri bacha..! Mama q jyen ge apny beto ko choor kay..! Mama har wkt apny bety kay pass..! Shhh..! Sleep..!"Nandini said hugging her as tightly as she could..! Her own daughter was doubting her.!
"Aul(aur) Papa?"Manvi spoke again. Suddenly Manik too came and laid beside them..! He pulled Manvi from Nandini's arms gently and in response Manvi clinged to Manik..! She hide her face in Manik's chest and Manik kissed her head..! Nandini look at Manik helplessly and he nodded in assurance.
"Kya hua mery bety ko?"Manik asked tracing his fingers in Manvi's hair and she sniffed in his chest..! Nandini to moved closer to them and held Manvi's hands..!
"Papa ji..!"Manvi again sobbed and hugged Manik more tightly..
"Ji Ji..! Papa yahen hain Mama bhi yahen hai..! Bus mera bacha sleep..! Mama ap mery bety kay liye koi lullaby sunayen..!"Manik said lovingly and gestured Nandini to sing..! Nandini kissed Manvi's hands and started singing a soothing lullaby in Manvi's ears..! Manvi slowly drifted to sleep and MaNan sighed..! Manik was about to get up with Manvi when Nandini stopped him..
"Isy yahen rehny do aj raat..!"She said softly..
"But Nan--!"Manik tried to object..
"Manik please..! What if she wokes up again..! I can't see her crying..!"Nandini said and hide Manvi in her embrace..! Manik smiled and kissed his ladies forehead..!
"I love you both..!"He whispered and MaNan also drifted to sleep..
-----------------
Next morning MaNan were sitting in Child specialist clinic..! They were here for a detail checkup for Manvi.. Doctor had taken her with him and he was doing a session with Manvi. Nandini's was holding Manik's hand tightly and Manik was calming her down as much as possible..! After a pretty long hour Doctor came out with Manvi. He asked nurse to lead Manvi to the children's room where she can play with toys as he wanted to talk to MaNan..!
"Mrs.Malhotra..! Will you please tell me the change of behavior you noticed in Manvi..?"Doctor started the conversation and Nandini look at who nodded in assurance..
"Doctor..! My daughter is a very friendly child..! But few months ago starting me she used to wake up in night and started crying..! I considered it normal then eventually uska rona badhta gya.! From last few days us ka behavior bht worrying hai.! Sara sara din bus meri goad me rehti hai jab Manik ghr ata hai tou us say chipak jati hai..! Apny cousin kay sath bhi ni khailti..! School bhi ni jati..! Even is ka pet rabbit us me tou jaan hai is ki us say bhi ni khailti..!"Nandini narrated the incidents with lots of difficulties and Manik took her in a side hug..! There was something seriously wrong with their baby love..!
"Are you pregnant again Mrs.Malhotra?"Doctor asked again..
"Yes doctor..!"She nodded.
"Hmm..!"Doctor hummed and leaned with the back of chair..
"Is she insecure because of new baby?"Manik asked hesitantly..
"No no..! Wo tou new bhai kay liye bht excited the..! But she had told me a very weird thing..!"Doctor said in a serious tone and leaned forward on the table..!
"And what was that?"Manik asked worriedly. MaNan's throats were going dry with anxiety and Nandini's breath was accelerating..
"Had you guys faced anykind of separation?"Doctor asked again..
"Yeah..! Due to some issues we were away from each other for few years..!"Manik said hesitantly..!
"Hmm...! And Mrs.Malhotra..! Had you ever met to an accident in front of Manvi?"Doctor again asked..
"Yes doctor..! I fell of the staircase and I faced a head injury..! Manvi had witnessed everything..!"Nandini spoke dejectedly and Doctor nodded..
"Now it clears everything to me..! Mr and Mrs. Malhotra..! After the session with Manvi I have concluded that she is suffering from Parents losing Phobia..!"Doctor announced politely..! Nandini gasped with that she palmed her lips while Manik leaned with the back of chair to absorb the shock with eyes closed..!
"But doc-doctor she had recovered from the trauma..! She was acting all normal..!"Nandini said in a little voice..
"Aisa ap ko lagta hai Mrs.Malhotra but aisa ni hai..! We have two phases of mind..! One is conscious and second is subconscious..! In her subconscious she has a fear of losing you both..! That fear is overpowering her thoughts and the fear is becoming strong with each passing day.!"Doctor explained and sweat beads appeared on Manik's forehead which he wiped nervously..! The least thing he wanted was his daughter's distrust.
"Does that means she don't trust us?"Manik asked vaguely..
"No..! The thing is she don't trust anyone except you both..! She is afraid of losing any of you..! I think she is having some very bad nightmares..!"Doctor said and few tears dared to slip off Nandini's eyes. "Ohh Mrs.Malhotra..! Please don't cry..! It will effect the new unborn life in you..! This Phobia is very very common in children of her age..!"Doctor tried to clam her down and she held Manik's hand tightly..
"Doctor how can she will come out of her fears?"Manik asked for a solution..
"It will take time but eventually she will be ok..! Why don't you both take her for a vacation? It will help her to make good memories with you both..! A complete family trip..! Just you both and Manvi..! Try to help her in creating good and happy memories with you both as much as you can..! With the pace of time she will be perfectly...! And she is a very sharp child she understands things very quickly even I am surprised..! And yeah sath sath me ap batoon batoon me usy is baat ki surety daity rehye kay ap us kay sath hain aur usy chood kar nahi jeyn gay..!"Doctor gave them both a long long set of advises and MaNan heard it carefully..!
