"Manik, I have missed you man, when are you going to come in??" Aryamann was on the phone.

"You missed me ?" Manik smirked. Aryamann wasn't a guy who would miss anyone, he was one crazy work maniac who couldn't miss anything but work. "Don't stress it Arya, will be at work in two days, Nandini is here and I want to stick around until she feels comfortable."

"Yes, the media broadcast-ed it on national television. You never fail to garner publicity, you demonstrative son-of-a-bitch. Cute kiddos by the way!" He heard Aryamann say.

Manik didn't reply. He had been maintaining distance from everyone at work since a really long time. "Anything else?" he simply asked.

"We at the company, feel a small welcome party is in order for it's CEO and his better-half." Aryamann stated.

"I'd rather you didn't feel so." Manik replied sharply. He turned around to see Nandini and his kids still sleeping on the bed . His lips curved into a small smile.

"Oh come-on don't be like that. Nandini is like the sister I never had, I would really like to do this for her. I know you will never bring her to meet us on your own."

"Arya, you are always welcome home. But I am not bringing Nandini there. I will continue to monitor everything via email. Bye." He hung up.

"Who was that?" Nandini asked walking up to him with the kids, all wide awake.

"Nobody." Manik smiled. "Where are you going?"

"They need bath and food." Nandini smiled pleasantly looking down at their angelically smiling twins.

"Alright. Let me help you."

Manik was lying down relaxed on the carpet in front of their home theater showing them how to play video-games. Nikki and Tara, cleaned up and fed, were leaning on him and watching with great interest.

"You both know this is your new home right?" Manik asked Tara and Nikki as they were going to go meet an interior designer in a few minutes. Nandini was in the shower and Manik was baby-sitting. Tara and Nikki both looked up at him confused.

"Where is my room?" Nikki asked.

"Wherever you want. It's your house." Manik explained proudly.

"Can I have this room?" Nikki asked.

"No, this is the TV room." Manik smiled. They were smart-kids and he needs to learn to deal with them carefully.

"You said I could have any room. I want this room." Nikki threw a fit.

"Ermm...let's consult mommy on this." Manik gave up. He looked towards the door for Nandini. He was getting restless to be alone with her. He realized it was not like before, kids took up majority of their time. Kids should sleep for atleast 18 hours a day, he thought.

"I want to put pink bunnies on the TV." Tara said without looking at both of them.

Manik and Nikki both yelled "NO Way!!!!"
