#MaNan:Marriage

Part66.

I reached Anayra's school.
I saw her standing alone.
Obviously her class had left.

She came running to me and I approached them.

"Mera baby" I said picking her up.
She hugged me tightly.
I could see her crying.

Poor thing,
Got scared.

"Thank you mam" I told her teacher.

"That's fine sir,
Umm.
I'm a big fan of you Sir" She said to me and I smiled.

I took her bag and went towards our car.
I made her sit in the front.

"Bus baby,dadda aa gaye na" I said wiping her tears.

She clinged to me.

"So sorry,dadda got late" I said kissing her forehead.

I felt so guilty for making my baby stand like that for an hour.

"Come on now,my baby will have ice cream no?!" I asked her as she sat on the sit properly.

She nodded in a no.

"I got scaled dadda" She said to me and I hugged her again mumbling sorrys.

"My baby is a strong girl no" I said and went to the other side to sit.

Every tear that Anayra shed made me more angry towards Nandini.

How careless can a person be.

"Baby, please dial mumma's number" I said giving Anayra my phone,also trying to divert her mind.

"Dadda" She said giving me the phone but I kept it on speaker in her hand.

"Hello, I'm so sorry Manik,
Anayra ko lene jana hi bhul gayi,
Bichari meri bachi" She said and I could hear her stressed.

"Mumma,dadda came to pil me up" Ananyra told her and I could hear her sigh.

"Mumma is so sorry baby" She said to her.

"I want you home in 10 minutes Nandini,I don't care where you are" I said and cut the call.

"Dadda" My baby called me.

"Ale you scolding on mumma" She said trying to ask me if I was angry on her Mumma.

"Mumma made my princess wait for so much time,dadda has to be angry no" I said to her and I'm not sure if she understood it.

"Dadda, I'm shorry fol molning" My baby was still stuck there.

Getting her dadda angry was something she just couldn't stand.

"I'm sorry baby,Dadda scolded you for no reason" I said ruffling her hair and I could see her dozing off.

I entered the house and saw no one there.
Dad was in office and Mom must be in NGO.

"Rakesh" I said shouting for my cook.

"Jii sir" He came running,I had Anayra in my arms.

"What will my baby have?!" I asked sitting on sofa.

"Chocate milk" She said and Rakesh nodded.

"Anu" Nandini entered running like anything.

Anayra got down from my lap and went towards her.

"I'm so so sorry baby,so sorry" She said kissing every inch of Anayra's face.

"Anayra,your milk baby" I said as Rakesh came with milk.
