Manik was holding an unconscious Nandini's hand. His head was rested on their entwined hands.
He felt some movements on her hands. He lifted his head to see Nandini trying to open her eyes. He patted her cheek slightly.
Manik: Nandini....Nandini get up.
She opened her eyes with great difficulty. Manik helped her to sit straight and made her drink some water. Both looked at each other and then Manik took her in a hug.

Manik: You okay na?? Is it paining anywhere??
Nandini: I'm fine. Manik baby??
Manik got up and went near the crib. He took him carefully in his arms and went near Nandini.
Manik: Humara beta.
He gave him to her. As soon as Nandini saw her son tears automatically started flowing from her eyes. She kissed his face lovingly. Manik sat beside her and wiped her tears.
Manik: It's a beautiful moment. So yeh tears ab se nahi chalega.
Nandini nodded smiling. Manik kissed her forehead then baby's head.
Manik: You both are my lifelines.
At that moment the little boy opened his eyes and for the first time he looked at his parents. He looked at them with wide eyes then again closed his eyes. MaNan smiled seeing their sons antics.
Nandini: Thank you Manik.
Manik: For??
Nandini: For giving me this special gift.
Manik smiled and kissed her forehead.
Manik: Waise thanks to mujhe tumse kehna chahiye. You brought our little love to this beautiful world.
He creased the baby's cheek. Then only Nandini saw Manik's hand which was swollen by now. She took his hand with her one hand and traced the wound.
Nandini: Bohot pain hua hoga na??
Manik: Tumse jyada nahi. Tumne bohot taklef saha hain to bring our child in this world.
