4. Caring family vs Cruel family

*****

Driver settled their bags..Manik and Mukti sat backside seats...The driver started driving..Mukti was sitting quietly..Manik knew her quietness as something she's going to blast...like 'Maut ki pehle ki shanti'

Manik (scarily put his hands on her shoulder) - Kya hua muku?

She turned her head towards him..and that's moment Manik got a big shock as his strong doll was crying/shedding tears silently...He immediately engulfed her in his chest...

Manik - Kya hua mela baby..kyu ro raha hai

Whenever Mukti used to cry..Manik always used to handle her like his own baby..this was all she missed in these two years..she used always show her tantrums to him as she knows whatever it maybe..he will never deny her..he will fulfill all her wishes without any ifs and buts...not that her both parents didn't but he is something different from them..which she was craving from last 2 years..

Mukti - bhai i missed kitna saara...u don't even know

Manik smiled at childish behavior

Manik - acha kitna saara?

Mukti - bohot saara..square to Infinity

Manik smiled widely on her answer...

Manik - pata hai maine bhi same same miss kiya..mele baby ko..

Mukti - toh phil do din se call kyu nahi kiya

And that's the big bomb blasted over Manik's head..now this was he was talking before about 'maut ki pehle ki shanti' . Now he very well knew he was as fault and no one means no one in whole world can stop her from giving him punishment for what he did.

He was really sweating even when sitting in a ac car. He very well knew her crazy ideas and stupid punishments...he even started imagining his condition when he will be following her crazy punishment..

She raised her head a little saw his face which was engrossed in deep thoughts...she waved her hands in front of his eyes to get his attention but nothing happened then she parted her self from his hold..and that's moment he came out of his thoughts..

Mukti - bol naa call kyu nahi kiya

Manik - vo muku...tujhe pata hai naa..last day...toh we had to pack up..dad aur main bohot zyaada hi busy ho gaye the...iss liye...

Mukti - aur tujhe lagta hai main manne wali hun

Manik scarily shook his head in a no

Mukti (cutely..showing her index finger) - punishment toh milegi..

Manik - yes maate

Mukti - haww..kya bola..

Manik started laughing loudly...

They reached home...both the cars halted together in front of Malhotra Mansion..
