I want you back (manan)

Calm or Storm

I'm still in love ,
with the moment.

When you tighten,
the grip of your fingers with mine ,
While looking into my eyes ,
For the very first time.

Nandini's pov

  " Aaru no jumping around okay "  I instructed Aaru for the ninth time tightening the grip of mine fingers with her.

"Okay" she meekly replied and got busy sipping water from her doremon water bottle which hang around her neck.

" And no demands from your friend " I again warned her while she sipped a large amount of water from bottle making some uneasy sounds.

" Cupcakes ??" She asked looking around the large and extravagant restaurant then back to me .

" You'll get as much as you want but after that no tantrums please , at least till you dear daddy came back " I exaggerated the word 'dear daddy' stretching it like chewingum.

" Okay" she replied and started looking around.

" Hey, I'm Nandini murty I was expecting meeting MR. Aryaman khurana can you please lead me the way " I asked the girl sitting in reception desk , she looked pretty mid twenty girl wearing a shiny white shirt and may be some black skirt underneath it , cause I could only see her upper body.

Smiling gently she replied " yes ma'am just wait a second "  she asked a man to lead us the way to the private room I was expecting to meet Aryaman.

" And I want three cupcakes " I looked down to see Aaru ordering the reception girl , damn .... .

" I'm sorry she... Just love cupcakes and can't wait ..sorry "  I  made a sorry face saying the girl and get down on my knees before Aaru.

" We will order when we will reach our table okay , ?? " I made Aaru understand and gave a small smile to the desk girl which she happily reciprocate with equal favour.

The ding sound of the elevator bring me back and thanking the man I moved my steps towards the private section of restaurant.

" And I thought you won't come " the man behind the words was none other than Aryaman khurana and one of the biggest reason behind what I'm now. A self independent woman who doesn't only work but also give others jobs too, I single mother of a beautiful little girl , who can full fill all she wants, and most importantly a woman who makes her own decisions.

" You need to stop running your small brain , and sorry for the late though" I struggled my shoulders and made my way towards the table , placing the bag over it I cleaned my face with my hand , and did same with Aaru. All thanks to the heavy rains of Mumbai making mumbaikars drenched like ducks.

" Yaah I accept your sorry , though you are 40 minutes late " he too did the same gesture by shrugging his shoulders .

" Mumma came late to pick me up too " Aaru popped up in mid of our conversation on which Aryaman mumbled a slow "always late mummy " and Aaru too joined him in the small laughter session. While I remember why I got so late , off cause the blame goes to The Manik Malhotra who suddenly started making silly excuses like he slipped in bathroom, his car brokedown in mid road though he has at least 20 of  cars on his door steps. Somehow I made him go to airport before time so that I could get plenty of time to wrap my head around everything going around me , and by before time I mean two hours before cause I really have to have some alone time. After sending him to airport I have gone to office and then Aaru's school , danm it was tiring dude.
