Helloo beautiful lovliess!!!
First of all a very happy new year and a warm hug from my side...
May u have a great year ahead... And work hard and party hrder!!!
And mistakes done in 2015!!! Try not repeat them again and love ur dad as much as u can!!!
Muskan and nandini had tear in their eyes. Tears were uncontrollably rolling down muskan's cheeks. She was so guilty at as she doubted her dad and his love for her.
"Manik still has that box! He keeps it besides his pillow before sleeping and back in his wardrobe before leaving for office without fail. He still peeps in and smiles and blows kisses in it! He did keep his promise intake... Till date! Without any fail whenever he is home from work he makes sure he come jn you room to admire his princess and to kiss his daughter back which she gave him year ago! Still your he doesnt deserves to be your dad! Right?" Told Nandini with left muskan speechless. Muskan meekly nodded negatively.
These are the happy moments which we could treasure with us as videos but what about the sad ones. When you used to fall ill, Your dad made lives of doctors hell. Whatever may happen,Manik used to sleep on the floor out side the hospital nursery in the month of chilly December as he wasn't allowed inside it. And he was the only one insane parent to do that out of all the parents but i knew he wont leave you alone for a single moment!" Stated Nandini with admiration in her eyes and a soft painful smile remembering the hard time they lived and suddenly her eyes glommed up as she continued" you know what, Manik used to hold your hand and used to comfort you whenever you were being injected though your screams were capable to make hairs of everyones back neck stand.he used to squeeze his own eyes and turn his face while holding your hand tight as he cannot see you in pain with screaming flushed red face. Some times he is not that expressive but that doesn't lessens his love for you!" Nandini said eying aimless with tears rolling down them as she remembered how brave face he used to put up to hide his fear. While Muskan sobbed silently with shocked eyes at all the new discoveries she did which made her feel like killing herself. But still few question dint stop ringing in her head and all these had taken troll over her that made her cough her views out.
"Exactly ma! He USED TO... As the for now as time passed distances increased between us. He got so busy that he dint had time for me. He dint gave attention to me. I was now habitual of ignorance and had made myself used to of being aloof and making new friends in high school. And out of blue he comes and blasts on my friends and puts restrictions on me... This is how dad loves me when he doesnt even has time to show up!"Muskan Voiced her views to which Nandini listened intently.
Nandini hummed thoughtfully with curled lip as she held muskan and made her sit in her lap comfortably with crossed legs.
"You know what tweetee! Parents are gift of god! right?" Asked nandini to which muskan meekly nodded.
"That means parents are kind of angels with power!" Asked Nandini to which muskan again nodded in confusion not knowing where the conversation is leading to.
"dads are invisible in day time! Daytime is ruled by mothers and dad comes out at night. Darkness brings dad home back with there real and unspoken power. And there is more to dd then what we see! You know that your dad isnt giving attention to you... But did you notice that he used to be there for you when u were kid and suddenly this distance is because he realised that his smile is growing up!" Said Nandini lightly caressing her hair tenderly.
Seeing confusion in her eyes, nandini smiled softly and continued " yes! You are growing up so your needs will too grow up. Gradually his smile will enter collage and then she would go away to pursue her career. She will have a great friend circle and he wants her to party harder and enjoy every moment of life carefree and even flaunt as much as she can. Yes! I agree that manik doesn't have time for us but that doesn't means he doesn't cares for us. I don't support him in that either but at end of day i know he is doing all this for us. Initially i too had fights with him and heated arguments as he wasnt giving me time.!" Said nandini while muskan was joining the broken wires of her emotions.
"Lets think by manik's point of view! Manik is working so hard since last year that he doesn't even has time to have his meals on time just to give his family a secured an bright future. What ever happens in his whole day he comes back drained out and te first thing he misses is his smile." Spoke nandini to which muskan listened attentively.Nandini pointed towards Muskan referring her 'his smile'.
"He misses his princess who clapped her hands, shout of joy and climbed upon his knees throwing her hands around his neck. Hug him as tight as it can be and patted his cheek giving him a great big kiss. And that smile on his face can be bought only by his smile which he is wanting so badly. He is not rubbing his ass off to earns bucks to party hard himself... He is doing that so that he can see you doing that. And you think that he doesn't care and doesn't have time for you and he doesn't knows about what all u do... Then i am afraid to inform you are highly mistaken!" Nandini stated which made Muskan jerk her head up with shocked teary eyes.
"What do you mean?" Muskan in a hoarse voice.
"I came to know about the music fest in your school and that you were not able to make it upto it... As soon as your dad came to know about it, he flew back to Mumbai the next day as first thing he did was meeting your principal who was ready with a long list of how many rules have been broken by his daughter and mischievous acts put up by you." Nandini gave her a glare while informing her about her deeds to which embarrassed Muskan bit her lower lip slightly.
"And your dad as usual dint mind that and made sure that you participate in the fest!" Informed Nandini. Muskan was too numb to react. She wanted to slap herself hard for misunderstanding her dad and as rotten cherry on the top, she spoke so rudely to him.
"And when he was passing by the parking lot. He heard your so called best friends saying nasty words about you with blowed the hell out of him. And how more do you expect from your dad to react!" Said nandini looking at bewailed expressions on muskan face. She knew how important friends are to muskan and knowing all this will break her to no extent but she had to. Before the world hurts her its better Nandini prepares her daughter well for the worlds reality where dog eats the dog. But more then her she knew Manik could make her understand that.
"You know i never knew how much i loved your dad till i saw how much he loved you. He was still concerned about your mood. You spoke so rude to him still he was worried about your mood! And alas! Still he doesn't deserve to be dad!" Nandini spoke admiring his love and knocking senses about off screen incidents she isn't informed and aren't presented onscreen. Muskan couldn't take all of this with strong head. Her heart cried out for her dad and wanted to kill herself for hurting his gem like dad to no extent. She felt her stomach sinking at the mery thought of not having her dad around him.
"I don't deserve him!" Said muskan looking aimlessly on the marbled floor it was a fact she stated more to herself. As soon as her own words hit her head hard, she felt she lost everything with a click of finger with made her sob hard.
With her heart wrenching at the sight of Muskan's tears, Nandini pulled her head to cradle it in her chest again and listening to Muskan having a break down in her arms made her burst in tears again.
"Shit mom!! what did i do... What dad must be thinking about me... He will never like to exchange a word with a kid like me... He doesn't deserves to have a kid like me who couldn't him a reason to smile... He is gonna hate him forever!!"
"Don't ever think that you dad can ever hate you... He is dad for a reason. He loves you the way you are and accept you for who you are striving to become. Even if you do something wrong he is so strong to shield you from world and will scold you being in four walls of room. He is strong enough to give u a sense of protection and hold you when you cry. He will shine with pride when you succeed and he is the one who will never lose faith in you even when you fail." Nandini said patting her head softly and there was comforting silence between them before muskan popped her tear stricken flushed race with red nose up as she voiced her insecurity " dad wont hate me ever !right?" just to assure herself once again. Nandini smiled slightly as something hit her head at the very instant " you know what... This question now will be answered by your dad itself!"
Nandini picked up the Remote while muskan scrunched her eyebrow in confusing wondering what her mom meant and what is she upto now. Nandini played the paused video and signalled muskan to watch it.
FLASHBACK
Muskan tries to hoop out of manik's lap still having a gold wrapped thin gift in her hand which she did effortlessly as soon as he loosed his gip on her. And clung to nandini's leg.
"Smile, i thought thats too for me!" Said amused manik because of sudden unusual behaviour of his baby.
Muskan threw her head back to meet her moms gaze. Nandini blinked her eyes in assurance and whispered "Go for it!" With an assuring smile which pumped up muskans spirit to an extent.
Manik was surprised at the small exchange he observed between the duo which made him curious.
Muskan walked back to Manik and spread her hands wide in air indicating Manik to pick her up and place her back in his lap.
Muskan held the gift in front of her facing manik and asked " dad you wont hate me right!"
Manik was so shocked to reply as he never saw that coming and hell! He dint expected that which was clearly evident on his face.
Muskan opened the box and manik was surprised to see melted chocolate in it. He scrunched his eyebrow in confusion with an amazed smile on his lips and waited for muskan to say something.
"Hand!" Muskan whispered fully engrossed in handling the box with on hand and to execute her mission further and Manik obediently held his hand out for her.
Muskan clutched his finger in her hand and dipped it in the melted chocolate. She angrily pouted in confusing seeing her failing and stressing to find a way out. Manik observed her smile keenly and smiled seeing her making such adorable faces.
"Dad! Do like this!" Said Muskan as she laid both her hands in box and pushed it deep inside the melted chocolate. She smile looking at Manik with twinkling eyes And pulled her chocolate dipped hands out and held it high in air making her finger dance and giggled.
"Do it daddy!" Muskan again asked with eager eyes. Manik smile a little obeying his smiles orders and dipped his hands in chocolate and held it high in air to which muskan held an ear to ear smile on her face.
Muskan tried putting her whole chocolaty hand in her tiny mouth but she could make upto 4 fingers and licked all the chocolate away at once pulling her hand out instantly. She flashed her teeths out at manik smiling widly with twinkling eyes with melted chocolate adoring her mouth and said "do this now!"
Manik smiled hesitantly not knowing what to do as the thought of doing that made him feel a weird. But he knew he has to do it for his smile just then he arched his eyebrow up and suspiciously asked." Why did you think i will hate you?"
"Because when i ruined your cake you told me a your secret that you hate chocolates. But i love chocolates and that to melted ones. I even wanted to gift you. But you hate chocolate and i love chocolate so eventually you will hate me too like you hate chocolate!" Explained Muskan innocently with a teary eyes. Manik dint get exactly what she said but one think he could say out of it is that he is a big time jerk and now he has to make up for the damage he already did.
"Smile! Darling i don't-" making started softly only to be interrupted by muskan.
"Dad! Dare you lie! I know u said truth at that time!" Said muskan with a warming look to which Manik smiled sheepishly seeing the glare and the tone he used to use to boss around used by his own daughter on him.
"Hmm alright! I lose you win! But I really wanna taste the chocolate but from there!" Said Manik with his lip curled innocently pointing towards muskans chocolate dipped hand. Manik held her little hand and licked the chocolate from her tiny fingers making her feel ticklish followed by her giggles.
Manik too flashed her a dazzling smile as cabir dhruv along with nandini clapped with happy tears and awed at the duo.
Manik held her hands in his making muskan face him and said looking softly in her eyes" dont EVER let the thought even run in your head that your dad can EVER hate you! I wish you can see through my eyes at how much i love you and adore you. And by the way, No one an hate his own smile! Right!" Ended Manik with a smile and reciprocating his smile, Muskan threw her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly.
"Mom i was so adorable at that time!" Said muskan adoring her own little self to which nandini interrupted " ahan! As your dad said he wish you can see through his eyes how much he loves you and how much he adores you. You are still equally adorable to him as you were then." Nandini stated hugged her daughter lovingly. Muskan missed her daddy so much that she wished to just pick him up out of the video an hug him tightly.
"Mom, i am going to dad right now! And i know where he exactly is!" Said muskan wipping her tears off and stood up to make her way out.
"Hey wait! You want your dad to kill me!" Nandini called put making muskan halt and stare back at her.
"If you go with this red puffy eyes in front of him he will strangle me to death to make his smile cry!" Said Nandini in fearful voice making Muskan chuckle as she knew her dad is every much capable of doing that. She walked to the washroom and splashed water on her face an coving her puffy eyes with base foundation and colossal kajal.
"Dont worry mom... He wont kill you ever...Just flash your dimples and he will be like pat of butter in hot frying pan." Said muskan with a wink making nandini blush slightly with amusement being openly teased by her own daughter.
"Huh! He may be a the best dad and husband but i still have time issues with him!" Said Nandini dramatically with a pout.
"I am telling you if things go like this then one fine day u will be informed that i ran off with someone!" Screamed Nandini at retreating back of her tweetee.
"And that someone is none other than Mr Manik Malhotra!!" Screamed muskan cheekily before waling out of house to meet her dad followed by hearty laugh.
Nandini too smiled and breath a sigh of relief. She folded her hands and offered silent prayers to aaiappa to make her so strong and capable so that she is able to keep her family binded in a thread with love till her last breath and headed towards kitchen.
Muskan on her way to meet her dad and it was for first time she was so excited and happy to see her daddy. She gently caressed her dads face in the family picture she had in her cellphone ad spoke softly " daddy! Every time i whine my head for not getting what i want, i will look at your picture to realise my twisted head and fluctuating hormones that o have everything that i could ask for!"
Respect your dad as he gave you leadership, appreciate your dad as he gives you the care,value your dad as he gives you attention may it be little but he does, love your dad because he gives you the biggest treasure that is him himself! ~~ Misha
