"Don't worry Manik! I know how to handle things and her! I promise she will come around soon!" Said Nandini and walked put of the room towards muskans room with a 2 bug hand bags in her hand.
Manik without thinking walked out of the mansion to calm his nerves down with a box in his hand.
Nandini knew that her daughter wouldnt open the door so its a smart idea to not waste time on scream her name and plead to open the door rather sneak into her room. She made her way to the adjoining balcony to reach inside her room through the french window of muskans room. And luckily it wasnt locked which helped her to slip in.
She saw her baby sobbing audibly loud sitting on floor clutching her knees tight to her chest. Nandini felt pain in her heart seeing her tweetee crying. But she schooled up her expressiom wiping her tears off.
"Muskan!" Nandini called out softly.
"Please leave me alone ! I dont wanna talk to anyone!" Said muskan harshly with out looking in nandinis direction.
Nandini shook her head and mummered under her breath" rudness and anger!! Genetic problem!! Inherited by her dad!"
She again tried and spoke even more politely this time" tweetee!!!!" In a singing way.
"Please mom! I am not in a mood of listening to your boring lecture right now... Yes you can do that after sometime as you people love to boss around and paste orders on my face... Will listen to you pakka!!! Please for now LET ME LIVE IN PEACE!!!" Muskan Almost most screamed and again cried bitterly to herself whereas nandini was so shocked to react as it was first time she saw her like that and how dare she shout at her. Nandini fisted her hand stopping her urge to slap her right there and then.
(How dare she shouts back at me when she herself is at fault... These arent manners and value we taught her... But i need to calm myself down as slapping and being aggressive on her will worsen the thing... She is a teen now and most difficult and turning point of life with numerous hormonal changes... I should think like her and try to be friends with her... But all this she did clearly shows she isnt in right company and doesnt have good set of friends around her... My tweetee is so naive to judge that... They are having really bad influence on her... But before things go out of our hands i need to mend things an make her realise what value his dad has in her life and what he deserves!) nandini thought and this mental conversation and rational thinking helped her to calm her nerves down.
(She must be her to lecture me and tell me how bad i am and how rude i was to dad... I know i was exceptionally rude to dad and i shouldn't have done that... I couldnt help that... They dint understand me any more...mom just keeps scolding me and interfering in my life... Always interrogating about my stuff... Cant they let me live in peace... I am a grown up girl now... Love does fades and its happening now... Dad is so busy and engrossed in his work and social life that he doesn't gets time to be with me... And suddenly out of no where when i got myself friends and boyfriend, he just in a second ruined every damn thing... What he must be thinking about me... Till now this news would have spread in half of the school... How will i face them... My dad just made me a laughing stoke put of me. He even took my personal accessories and my cell phone... Complete independence out of my hand!!! Still he thinks i should talked to him like this... When i think he is least interested in my life and i was happy with mine... He had to come out of blue and destroy everyting and took my independence!!! Thats not fair... They dont know whhat kin of embaressment i have to go through in schol because of all this!) Muskan thought which made her worry levels to take a new height and cry even more bitterly.
"Tweetee!! You know what... I am done with your dad! He is such a workaholic and always is glued to my his girlfriend!" Said nandini pretending to be mad at manik.
#rule no one- be friend with your kids and how to do that is by following rule 2
#rule 2- back bitch about your spouse and share your frustration towards them in a funny way... And team up against the other out of fun. That will definety help you to know your kids thinking and will inprove your relation with them and you can use that acess to make the bond strong between your kid and your spouse. ( this really works good with my dad... As he keep sulking an renting in front of me about mom and we team up to irritate her to wits! Lol!)
Muskan whipped her towards her mom as she was more then surprise listening to her.
"Did you have a fight with dad again?" Asked muskan with a crooked eyebrow.
Yes! Manik and nandini do fight, have heated up arguments. Not every married life is perfect... Problems do occur with lots of misinterpretation and misunderstandings, but they made sure all their problems and issued with each other shouldnt work as a hinderance between their relation with muskan. They never gave a wrong impression to muskan about each other.
"Not exactly! But yes he sucks big time at times!!" Said nandini rolling her eyes.
She forgot about her problems and scrunched her nose in confusion and asked "girlfriend???"
"Yup!! His laptop! He is always glued to it and doesnt even bothers to look at me... Do i look that ugly and fat??" Nanini pouted with crying face to gajn muskans sympathy and attention.
Muskan felt bit proud that her mom thinks she is capable to listen to her roblems and solve them. This mery thought mad her smile.
"Mom!! Ofcourse you are the most beautiful women alive!! Dont pay attention on all this!!! Dad will surely came around soon!! But you cant prefict that when it is gonna come!" Said muskan cheering his mom up and even giving nandini a hint what she thinks about all her dad and stuff.
"Hmm... Forget it! I need to divert my mind from that stubborn head... What can we do??" Said nandini settling down on floor beside muskan. " what about watching a movie!!" Said nandini after pretending of stressing her little brain.
"Sounds cool!" Said Muskan all pumped up to spend some quality time with her mom.
Nandini took out a CD Pouch from the bag she bought and put them in in the cd player before playing it on.
"Mom i think the print isnt clear!" Said muskan as she saw the video scenes getting disturbed.
"Hmm... Let me find some other CD then!" Said Nandini pretending to be engrossed in the cd pouch as she wanted muskan to atleast see the glimpse of already played video to get her started with her mission of handling her tweetees twisted head.
Muskan scrunched her eyes in confusion as she saw the video!! She was utterly surprised what played in front of her eyes.
" Manniiikkk!!!! Come fast... Its a baby girl!!!! Your daughter!!!" Cabir scream excitedly from other side of camera recording most precious moment of manik and nandini's life.
Manik took calculative steps towards nandini who held the new born in her arms with pale worn out face with suddenly lit up on seeing a glimpse of his daughter.
"Oh shit!!! Tweetee its a wrong CD!!" Said nandini and tried changing the video just then muskan held her hand stopping her from doing so.
Nandini smile seeing her daighter doing that. She was happy that she still values every emotion and is to naive for outside air. She is just influence by bad thinking of bad company.
She settled beside muskan whose eyes were glued on screne.
"Mom, thats me right!"asked muskan Looking at the video.
"Yes!" Said nandini softy while admiring her daughter watching the video as the video bought sooo many memories back.
"All He could do was stand in awe. His daughter like HIS DAUGHTER had arrived.At that time, Manik was so emotional...happy, excited, scared, proud and nervous all rolled up into one. He was so reluctant to not hold you because he was so afraid that he might end up hurting you whereas it was him who was way too excited for your arrival. When He held you for the first time, he did cry tears of joy...the pride he felt was indescribable, He couldn't stop looking at you. He was Nervous, because now He was responsible for this little girl, but confident that would make me the father I believe He is today! He smiled at you and kept looking you whole time you were in his arms." Said Nandini with teary eyes as she could clearly see flashes of maniks reaction and feeling in from of her eyes while muskan was too lost to react on discoveries she was unknown to. She could feel how important she was to her dad.
Muskan again glued her eyes back on the tv screen and scrunched her eyes as she say her dad whispering something to her with a teary smile.
"Mom! What was dad saying here?" Muskan question point out at the scene befofe her. Nandini smiled delightfully as she said " muskan!"
"What!"
"He could only manage to utter a single word that was muskan! Which means smile... His smile! He named you! He knew all his happiness revolve around you and for a smile on tour face he can do anything! You didn't take a deep breath right away, so the nurses had whisked you to the warmer, but He stayed right by you. And kept admiring you sleeping and smiling!" Said Nandini with a constant smile while muskan felt a lump in her throat. She knew her parents loved her like anything and her dad too and fulfilled her every wish before she even utter. But never knew he loved him to this extent.
Suddenly the next video started which caught their attention back to tv screen. It was her birthday party.
"You kept clinging onto him the whole party. Because so many unknown faces many weird many scaring and many overloaded with makeup were smiling and looking closely at you, pulling your cheeks and kissing you and wishing you." Said nandini which made muskan chuckle at her explanation while nandini continued "you kept hugging him through out the party throwing your arms around his neck and your face on his shoulder which kept snuggling in his chest. He knew you weren't comfortable so he made sure no scary clown roams around you!!"
Muskan giggled listening to her mom describing the scene while she kept her eyes glued at the show she put up at that time. Soon her birthday video ended and another video started which opened up with cabirs usual blabbering which was made on manik's birthday when muskan was 5 years old
"Daddyyy!!!! Dark Chocolate cake!!!" Little muskan screamed in delight eyeing the cake with widened eyes in delight.
Muskan was a hardcore chocolate lover. she frowned and tried to dip her finger in cake and relish it slowly without letting anyone know.
"Tweeteee!!!!!" Just then she heard her mom's warning tone. But it was too late as she had already dipped her finger into the cake and made several holes in it.
She gave sheepish smile to manik as he arrived at the table and saw his princess pricking the cake.
"Solly dadda! I have already spoilt the cake... What will you cut and have!" Said muskan with fallen face feeling sorry for her act.
Manik kneeled down and held her hand, giving her a sweet smile he said " smile, it doesnt matters who cuts the cake... You or me... Secondly the cake isn't spoiled but my princess made it special... Thirdly!" Manik looked around assuring that no one is around eye dropping the conversation and whispered " i dont like chocolates!!!" And giggled but stopped as he saw muskans smile fainting and she rushed away leaving a worriedly shocked manik behind.
"Mom where did i go! What happened?" Muskan asked as the video ended. Nandini signalled her to wait and she changed the CD.
"Hmmm here you go!" Said nandini pausing the video and forwarding the rest of the birthday party video. She played with a smilingly settling back.
"Manik!!! Come on open dhruvs gift!!! Fast!!! I know he can gift you guitar!" Said mukti who was recording the video.
"Wait! Where is my smile?" Said manik restlessly. Just then he saw nandini entering with muskan in her lap who was holding 2 gold paper wrapped gifts in her hand.
Manik instantly stood up with twinkling eyes and an ear to ear smile on his face as he saw muskan advancing towards her with little steps holding gifts larger than her.
Manik sat making muskan sit in his lap comfortably. Just the maniks eyes widened in worry seeing his daughter's eyes red.
"What happened smile! Why were you crying! " manik asked in a panicked voice cupping her face.
"No dada!! I wasnt... Something went in my eyes!" Said muskan flashing her beautiful smile to manik.
"You know that you suck at lying just like your mom!" Said manik making both nandini and muskan pout in anger at which he chuckled.
"First see my gift! Right now!!!" Ordered muskan.
"Your wish! My command!" Said manik an started unwrapping the gift which turned out to be an empty box when he opened it. He looked at the box and than at his daughter smiling to see his reaction.
"Smile! This is beautiful!!! Thank you sooo much!!" Said manik putting up a delighted face.
"Really daddy! " said muskan clapping her hand in joy.
"Wont you return few to me?" Asked muskan making manik confused. He couldnt come up with another excuse. He fumbled and before he could come up woth something nandini took the box from his hand and was surprised to see it empty.
"Tweetee!! Box is empty!" Informed confused nandini.
"Really! Mom!! Then how could daddy see them??" Questioned muskan in annoyance. Manik glared at nandini to be quiet and not to break his baby's heart.
Muskan took the box and beeped inside it. And kept looking at it for long time and looked back at her dad with breaming eyes.
"Dad! I swear i did blow 1000 kisses into it!! Dont know where are they gone now!"
Manik's heart missed a beat hearing his daughter. He was so overwhelmed by the gesture of her daughter as tears twinkled in his eyes. He grabbed muskan and embraced her into bone crashing hug and sobbed silently. He was so proud and happy to be blessed to have a daughter like her. And he cupped her face and placed wet kissed on her eyes removing the tears and all over her face make her feel bit ticklish.
"I can never return you what you gave me today princess!! i will try to make upto you some day!! This is the best gift i ever received and i dint think i could ever get something precious than this!" Said Manik placing wet kiss on her cheeks and Nandini couldn't help but sob silently and play to almighty to keep the love intact between them.
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 musk an speechless!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Love and respect your dad as much as you can because he deserves more than that- Misha!
