The Ex's At War

Chapter 24 - Good Day continues

We had already reached the port and were unloading ourselves. Harshad's parents had come to the port to receive us; it was a warm gesture on their part. Mr. Dhanrajgir still remembered me with the brief meeting we had had in the party years back but that was mostly because of Manik. Our love saga was pretty famous (infamous) in his known circle. He was still mocked at by his friends for how he followed me to Ahmedabad like a love struck teenager and got me back in his life but I always garnered the due respect of being his wife.

Mukti along with Harshad and Navya helped the other guests to get to the cars that would take us to the wedding destination which meant another rocking week and we went back to finish the rest of packing. Manik directed the attendants to get our stuff from the room, my bag was almost empty because by now all my clothes were swimming in the ocean.

"Nandu now can you please relax...I will get whatever you need", Manik gave me a light side hug while walking out and I puffed my face into a potato. It was rare though but it was definitely one of such occasions when I was really annoyed on Manini and it annoyed me more to see how carefree she was, clinging to her Daddy without a dash of regret.

"It had your first anniversary gift to me Manik", yes I was sulking like a 5 year old and Manik tried to cheer me up saying he would stuff me with Anniversary gifts.

I looked at Manini with a frown and she came up with an adorable smile that was her getaway with all her mischief's. She raised her hands to come to me from Manik's arms and didn't wait for me to hold her and climbed on me. I quickly caught her before she fell and as soon as in my arms she had to act all love sick. I knew the reason; she was leaving her ship house. The baby had enjoyed this voyage to the fullest and she had already started missing it very much. I was on the other hand happy because finally I would be leading a normal life with a proper ground underneath my foot and Manik by my side. Manini rubbed her nose on my neck and I giggled as it felt ticklish and Manik made sure that we didn't trip on our way.

"Mommy I want to shtay hele pleashh, she encircled her tiny arms around my neck and nagged making a cute sad face. She had really enjoyed the voyage unlike her mother and was not very elated to say goodbye. I chuckled at Manik to deal with her and he blinked in assurance.

"Princess if we don't say goodbye to this then how will we see the pumpkin house that Soha aunty has made for you...I have already asked her to decorate it with all the teddies and barbies that my baby loves", Manik knew his ways to cheer her up and as intended her eyes glittered in excitement and a happy smile embellished her face in the next moment. She swayed from my arms top give a fat kisshy of appreciation to Daddy and when Manik tried returning it she moved her face in a whisk and Manik pressed his lips on my cheeks instead. Manini snorted at her tricks and Manik stuck out his hand for a hi five to his daughter to yet another accomplishment in embarrassing me. I would have chided both of them when suddenly I caught Rewa looking at us with glaring eyes.

"Manik I think I left one of Manin's bag in the room..can you please get it", I really had to deal with this woman and now I wanted to do it alone.

Manik left and I walked towards the headache. Rewa looked at me in detest being sure that her plan to provoke me had backfired and what bothered her more that it had brought Manik and me closer. I waited for her to come up with something nasty but she was clearly in loss of words so I initiated.

"You know what Rewa you were actually right...I should say sorry to you...I am so sorry...tch tch tch tch I am so sorry FOR YOU...you had planned so much but see at the end of the day my baby is in my arms and the best part is Maniik wants her to be with me...do you understand that"

"Listen you..", she could just utter countable words. I was sure she was cursing me left right and centre in her mind but who cared.

I could well count the frowns on her face, she was pissed and her vile hisses and angry glares vouched for them. She badly wanted to get back at me but at the moment she had nothing in her favour. Manini dangled her legs happily and made faces at Rewa, she really hated her and missed no chance to express it. She stuck her tongue out and mocked at Rewa.
