They say 'perfect love' is boring,
Because love without heartbreaks,
'Patience' and 'tears'  isn't real love.

Though they aren't aware,
Love is perfect, but people
And circumstances aren't.

Manik's pov

#no smoking zone
I read the line again and again which increase my frustration to another level, fucking I m not even able to breathe in this creepy silence anymore , I was mentally slapping myself for deciding to come here , but I have no other option left  actually It was my idea only but now its frustrating me , I was looking one of the odd thing among others.

"Papaa" a hand encircled my waist and finally I felt peace.
Picking her up in my arms making her sit on my lap I smiled at her.

" Where was you Aaru I was waiting for you from past ten minutes" yaah I know I sound mad but dude ten minutes can prove a long year if you are sitting ideally on a place keeping mum and being alone.

" Papa vo Miss Divya was teaching mannerisms " aaru answered and I smiled at her , so here I am at Aaru's school for getting her Annual report , and sweating like my results are going to come.

" Where is mumma ??" She asked after looking here and there , " she will be a little late she informed , accha Aaru you sure na you will pass the exam ??"  I asked her with my voice held nervousness.

" papa its my result not your " Aaru said and kissed my cheek making me take a breath in relief, well she has mine geans in her and I being always a average student is always afraid of marks and results whether it's mine or someone else.

Aaru was telling me all the things she wanna do in summer breaks and  I listened her carefully not missing a bit what she said, and was waiting for our turn to be called in principal's office .

" Hey Manik long time no see , where was you ??" We where busy in our little world when a voice took my attention.

"Hey Rohit I m fine just busy in life like you , well how's your life going ??" I asked him and give him a friendly hug.

" I m doing great dude , ohh is she your daughter ?? " He asked adoring Aaru and in return Aaru smiled at him.

"Yaah she is mine daughter , Aarohi Malhotra " I replied proudly . He smiled at us and Aaru hold mine hand smiling at me. 

We where busy exchanging words when a running Nandini came into my  view , " I am sorry I m late " she said making a pouty face , and an urgent need to kiss & tease her at the time arise in me but I controlled it . "Hey it's all right take some breath first " I replied and she gave me a beautiful smile which made my day. Giving Rohit a small smile she sit on the chair along with aaru.  Soon Rohit excused us and I rushed near nandini and sit beside her.

" You know you need to stop pouting like a baby , I so wanted too..." I said looking at her but stopped in mid as nandini show me her big eyes making me shut my mouth.

"And you need to control your tongue Mr Malhotra " she replied giving me angry looks.

" It's your turn sir " the lady who was continuesly peeking through the cabin in the waiting area came towards us and giving a big fat smile said.

" Finally " I muttered leaving a long breath and rolled my eyes in annoyance , and earned a smack from nandini but without saying anything picking Aaru in my hands move towards the principal room.

"Welcome Mr Malhotra" the lady in her late sixties smiled at me , well I have a good track record with her from past few years.

" Thank you Miss desuza , how are you doing " smiling at her I take a seat  placing Aaru on my lap.
