She would be our daughter ,
I'd fall in love with.

Nandini's pov

The sound of bells , the fragrance of flowers and the music of early morning birds creeping around was giving the best feeling ever , clutching Aaru's hand in my hands I started climbing the stairs with a peaceful heart, smiling to all most everyone who are just looking at Aaru with so much of admiration in their eyes , she was indeed looking so beautiful in her cute white coloured salwar kamiz with her head covered by a baby pink coloured dhupatta, this is her attire matching along with me  Everytime when we visit temple.  

" There is so many stairs mumma " Aaru exclaimed while climbing the stairs with a big pout on her face.
" I know baby but chlo jldi jldi we are getting late for aarti " I replied and smiled at some aunties who lives in our building .

"I will ask papa to come with us next time then he will pick me up in his arms and I don't have to climb so many stairs " Aaru said and I smiled in response, I wish Aaru's every small n big dreams comes true .

There was a long  queue in front of us when we finally reach to the top , everyone was carrying hopes and some wishes to be fulfilled , when I was about to join the queue a girl in her twenties came with a volunteer card hanging in her neck towards me and blocked my way .

" This way ma'am " she said and lead me the way in Garbhagreha (where the God is placed ) through the VIP entry gate.

"Excuse me , but I m not some VIP nor I need this VIP treatment " I said to the girl and in response she smiled.

" I know ma'am but we got orders to lead you the way before anyone , let's go we r getting late " the girl replied and the puzzled look over my face erase knowing that who must have given her the orders and why .

I joined my hands and closed my eyes , praying for well being of my love once which surprisingly included manik too , I was busy praying to God when the peaceful aura changed into a chaotic mess many voice could be heard around me , but when I was just about to open my eyes the noice stopped and again the silence prevented.

"Papa" Aaru's voice bring me back to reality and hearing her sudden voice I opened my eyes just to see manik standing beside me and winking at Aaru with his mischievous smile, his presence did affect me , when our eyes met he winked at me and closed his eyes but the smile remained on his face. I looked at Aaru , she was also closing her eyes and a big smile on her face. I again closed my eyes but this time my smile was more bright and big.

"So , how's the surprise ?? " Manik asked being excited when we finally started exiting temple , rubbing his palms together.

"Amazing!!  I love you papa "saying this Aaru hopped into his arms were he smiled to the broadest . " Papa loves you more " manik replied and hugged her tight.

"So miss murty ready to face media ?? Actually I tried to keep them away but don't know how they always manage to.." manik said but I cut him in middle only.

"Why are you here ?? You very well know I hate these attention but still" I said and tried to take Aaru in my arms but he hold my hand and entwined his hands with mine.

"You are not alone and I promise you never will be , cause I will always be there for you ,for us forever..., hold my hand and let's face this together " tighten the grip over my hands he replied and gave me a million dollar smile which automatically removed the stress marks over my forehead bringing a smile on my face, nodding my head I followed him with his one hand he was carrying Aaru and the other hand was Tangled with mine hand.
