MaNan:NEVER LET YOU GO{Completed}

CHAPTER 41

The next morning Manan got up to get ready for the baby shower ceremony. Nandini got ready fast. She wore a Off white & light golden coloured lehenga with royal blue coloured border & blouse. The colours suited her body colour completely & made her look stunning. She then went downstairs to check the preparations for the breakfast. Just then Daniel came from the back & said,
Daniel: Someone is looking really fabulous.....
Nandini turned towards him & said,
Nandini: Thank u Daniel!! By the way Good Morning.... I hope u had a nice sleep.
Daniel: Yeah!!
Nyra: Mumma!!!
Nyra came running towards Nandini & she picked the little girl in her arms.
Nandini: Good morning baby!!
Nyra: Good Morning!! U r looking very pretty.
Nandini: Awww thank u!! Chalo now let me get u ready... then u will also look pretty pretty!!
Nyra: Ohk lets go....
Nandini turned towards Daniel & said,
Nandini: Daniel... I'll go n get her ready till then u also get ready fast.
Daniel: Cool!!
Nandini took Nyra to her room & saw that Manik had gone to take a bath. She made her wear a nice pink-green coloured lehenga. And was making her hair when manik came out & said,
Manik: Ohh my God!!!! Beauty Overloaded in here....
Nandini turned towards him & Nyra laughed at his comment.
Manik: Do u want to kill me here itself!!
Nandini: Shut up Manik.... Achcha tell me who is looking more pretty Nyra or me!!
Manik: Ohh u... Let me see u first!! I was talking about Nyra till now but u too r looking ohk!!
Nyra laughed out loud at it & Nandini hit manik slowly. To this Nyra said cutely
Nyra: Mumma bad habbit... U should not hit anyone...
Manik heard her & picked her up in his arms, & then he said kissing her cheek.
Manik: See Nandini... Learn something from her!! She is the one who cares for me...
Nandini: Ya ya u r right!! Now if u r done.... Plz get ready fast otherwise Mukti will kill u for getting late...
Soon he too got ready & then reached Mukti's place to see that all their friends were already there. All of them greeted each other & then Mukti noticed Daniel & Nyra. Nandini turned towards them & said,
Nandini: Guys meet my friend & neighbour from Australia... Daniel!
Cabir: Hey!!
After that she picked Nyra up in her arms & said,
Nandini: And this is my daughter, Nyra!!
All of them heard her & Aliya said,
Aliya: Daughter??
Nandini: Yeah she is Daniel's daughter!!
Saying so she blinked her eyes in front of them, making them all quite. All of them smiled at it & Mukti said,
Mukti: She is so cute yr!!
Nandini made Nyra stand on her own & then she called Kavya closer. She came running towards her & said,
Kavya: Chachi... Where were u!! I was waiting for u...
Nandini: Aww.... Sorry!! Achcha now I have a work for u....
Kavya: Say..I'll do whatever u say!!
Nandini: Thats my girl!! ohk so this is Nyra... She is 4 years old & she has come from Australia, so she doesn't know Hindi...... So u hv to stay with her today & take care of her.
Kavya: Ohk Chachi!!
Nandini turned towards Nyra & said,
Nandini: Nyra, this is Kavya di... U stay with her, and if u need anything then u come to me or to Manik uncle.... Ohk??
Nyra: Ohk Mumma!!
Soon the ceremony started & as always it was full of fun. They did a small pooja, gave gifts to Mukti & wsihed for the well being of the baby. And then started the real party. They played games, danced & sang songs. Sometime later Mukti said,
Mukti: Manik- Nandini now ur turn!! Plz...
Nandini smiled at it & got up. She got in the center & toke up the mike & so did Manik. Cabir got a guitar for Manik & Veena for Nandini. Nandini sat on her place & said,
Nandini: Sorry Mukti but we couldn't prepare anything for today as we didn't hv much time. But as u had asked, we will perform something new for u!! Since we havn't decided any tune or lyrics... It all has to random & there is no garantee how it will be so plz forgive us if its not that good!!
Mukti: Chill I know u'll rockk... As always!!
Manik & Nandini smiled at her & then looked at each other. Nandini slowly whispered,
Nandini: Manik u start first.....
Manik: Nandini relax!! Its just us...
Nandini smiled at him & Manik started on his guitar. He played a brilliant tune & it hardly took a minute for Nandini to sync her tune matching to his on her veena. Manik smiled at her & blinked his eyes & then started singing.
Manik: Chahe main rahoon jahan mein
Chahe tu na rahe
Tere mere pyar ki umar salamat rahe
Nandini heard him & immediately started,
Nandini: Chahe yeh zameen, yeh aasmaan
Rahe na rahe
Tere mere pyar ki umar salamat rahe
Manik smiled listening to her, and remembered Amms words, "Earlier also she found her peace in music & I hv a believe that this time also music will help her. Manik bring Music close to her, make her practise & then u'll see ur older nandini back." & he thought to himself, "Now those dreadful dreams wouldn't haunt u Nandini... U will be all fine!!"
Manik: O... mmm...
