Continuation of last part where Manik opened the door...found his friend Vishal standing there. Vishal was 1 of Maniks IIT friend. Vishal came to invite Manik for his wedding. When Manik saw the card he remembered something …… Vishal left spending time with Manik. Vishal talked about his bride all the while he stayed with Manik which stirred different emotion in his mind. All of a sudden he wanted Nandini to be his bride….yes earlier he wanted to marry Nandini but it was his future plan but now...he wants her as his bride at that very moment….he wanted Nandini as his wife then n there. His mind stopped working logically. All he could think of was Nandini to be his wife….then he thought of something started to jot down his ideas as taught by his JAAN. He smiled remembering this...

FLASHBACK:

Manik was upset as his science project presentation did not go well. He knew the topic well but he couldn't present it well within the allocated time….he even got scolded from his Momy...that's what made him more upset. Here his momy our little Nandu was also upset as she scolded her baby...but she had to scold him as he was getting irresponsible day by day..n she can't see her baby like this. But she knew her baby would be upset for getting scolded from her. So to cheer her baby she made chocolate milkshake with little help from her mamma n went to pacify her baby. When Nandini went to Maniks room she found him crying like a baby 😂😂😂 she went near Manik but Manik turned his face to other side…..
N: baby, momy is sorry please don't cry...please...see I brought you chocolate milkshake….see…
M: (happily) really….oh baby  loveeesh you momy 🤗🤗🤗 kissed her cheeks 😙😙😙
Nandini smiled at him n gave him the milkshake. She kept silent watching Manik devouring the milkshake as if it was the last food on the earth. When Manik was finished with his milkshake he forwarded his face to his momy who wiped his face with tissue. Then Nandini cupped his face lovingly n….
N: bavy I know I am bad...very bad I scolded you, but baby you need to be careful nah....you need to take care of small things...okay….
M: momy I did not do any mischief...I prepared well for the project but you know there was much to say but time was less….what do I do?
N: but baby other people completed their project right...you know why coz they were organized you need to jot down your ideas n then organize them...mark my words you’ll be able to do things way better….so next time jot down your ideas 1st n then organize them okay…
M: (nodding his head) otay...momy I’ll do that promise.
N: that's like my goody..goody baby( pecked his cheeks)

END OF FLASHBACK

Manik started his work with a smile on his face.

RAJ N NEYO’S ROOM:
Neyo got worried seeing the scenario at lunch time. She tried a lot but couldn't let it go from her mind.
NEYO’S POV:
God….my head is bursting…..what do I do...my babies….what is wrong with them. Now toh I am damn sure...they’re hiding something from me...something really big….even Ishu’s not telling me anything...n I know she won't say anything to me….what do I do...then she thought something...yes this would be good. Then she called someone.

TERRACE:
Ishita was prowling in the terrace being restless….

ISHU'S POV:

Nandu baby I am sorry baccha...I shouldn't have scolded you but what do I do...baby I can't see Neyo upset just adjust for 1 more day after you leave I’ll make everything okay...baccha...just tomorrow baby...I can't see my baby sad….n you don't have to go through that….n Manik I don't understand how should I make him understand. Yes we’re back being mother n son but I haven't forgiven him for that incident. N here he’s acting adamant….what do.I do? He said he’ll make it up for it. ….really….how...I don't see that happening…..

FLASHBACK:

After the mishap Manik made Ishita stopped talking to him. At 1st Manik didn't care as he was too busy in his own bubble. As soon as he realized his mistakes the 1st person he wanted to apologize was Ishita. Coz he was ashamed what he did to her princess he let her down. But Ishita didn't want to meet Manik after all that happened. N somewhere down Manik knew he’s messed up pretty bad. So he kept trying n finally Ishita agreed to meet him.
I: Yes Manik what is it (sternly, crossing her arms around her chest)
M: Mamma I really don't know what to say coz I myself know I did a crime….he knelt in front of her…..please don't hate me for what I did...mamma I don't know how...but it just happened mamma n I am sorry….
I: (chuckled sarcastically) it just happened n you are sorry Manik...this is what you have to say...it would have been better if you kept quiet….n don't you dare call me mamma from this very moment I am dead to you just consider you never me in your life.
M: Mamma please mamma….dont do this I’ll die without your affection. Please don't turn your face on me….you’ve showered me with motherly affection when my own mother didn't have any affection for me...mamma how can you leave me….for years I was your 1st child n now all of a sudden you abandon me….I admit I did a crime but that doesn't mean I am not your son….mamma nothing in this world can change our relation….1 chance mamma I promise I’ll win your forgiveness but don't abandon me please……
Ishita was silent for a while as she thought about Maniks words. Finally decided to give Manik a chance voz he was right, for her he is her 1st child her prince…..
I: Okay...I am giving you a chance but remember I haven't forgiven you for what you did to my baby...if you are my prince then she’s also my princess….if you really want my forgiveness, I don't know how but you have to earn it n honestly I don't see it happening….but yeah I am giving you a chance just 1 chance…
M: Thank you mamma...you dont know what you’ve given me...I promise mamma I’ll earn your forgiveness...I’ll make everything alright.
With the passage of time Ishu n Maniks bond became normal but she still hasn't forgiven Manik for what he did...with the passage of  time it became an unspoken n forbidden topic between them.

END OF FLASHBACK

Manik what happened to you? What happened to my prince who was my 1st child….oh god what have I done that both my children are in pain….how do I make everything like before?...What am I even thinking….nothing can things be like before. Nothing is same n nothing will ever be the same...Manik...Nandini may be they are not destined to be together….that is why all that happened years back n Manik needs to understand it…I don't know how will I handle Raman...n Neyo n Raj vai...I really don't know how to handle them...but 1st let me handle Manik...then I’ll think how to break the news to these 3...yes that will be better….

END OF POV

She went to check on Nandini only to find her sleeping uncomfortably….she felt weird as Nandini never sleeps like this. She went near her, made her sleep properly that is when she noticed dried tears in her checks. She kissed Nandini's forehead promising herself to make everything alright. She left Nandini's room n went downstairs to see someone. She was shocked to see some1 with Neyo in the living room.....
Now the question is who did she see 🤔🤔🤔

Till then stay_Blessed 💙💙💙
