~~ kachche dhaage
at a park
virat : what are u looking at...???
manvi : you know... dont u...???
virat : i know u are looking at your princess... but what is going on in your mind...???
manvi : virat i am so lucky to have you both in my life... dekhte dekhte waqt kahan beet gaya... pta hi nahi lga...
virat : manvi... i am lucky to have you... i am living with a smile on my face just because of you...
manvi : u know what virat... we are together because of kasak... she is the binding force... isnt it...???
virat : yeah...
manvi : waise kasak will turn 4 soon... uska birthday aane wala hai... 😃
virat : haan...
manvi : why dont we celebrate it this time... i mean kasak really wants to...
virat : manvi cmon... u know i...
manvi : i know whatever happened... but we cant whole day regret n repent on kasak's birthday... i will not sacrifice my child's happiness at any cost...
virat : you know what you are speaking... you want to throw a party on maya's
manvi : kasakkk...
manvi ran to kasak and picked her up in her arms.
manvi : kasak... baby u should be careful while running sweetheart... dekha lag gayi na chot... kasak is it paining baby...?? dont worry... we will go to a doctor... you will be fine my baby... pain nahi hogi mumma promise karti hai...
kasak : mumma... (trying to tell manvi that she is ok)
manvi : everything will be fine baby... (manvi ws in tears by now and was hell worried) virattt... dekho na... virat...
virat : manvi...
manvi : virat... dekho... her knee... its bruised... virat lets go to a doctor... virat...
virat : shh... stop panicking manvi... kasak is okk... ask her... kasak you are fine baby...??
kasak : mumma main theek hoon...
manvi hugged kasak protectively and she kissed her face but still the tears werent stopping...
virat : come to daddy baby...
virat tried taking kasak from manvi but manvi nodded her head in negative and held kasak even more tightly.
manvi : lets go back...
virat : manvi but -
kasak : no... u said we will go to nani house...
manvi : someother day baby...
kasak : no u promised...
manvi : okk lets go...
virat : manvi are u okk...?? do u seriously wanna go...???
manvi : yes virat... kasak wants to...
virat : okk...
on the way to chaudhary mansion, manvi was quiet and holding kasak in her arms as if she would lose her, if the grip loosened. this was not the first time manvi was behaving like this. she was way too possessive and protective about kasak. even a scratch on kasak's body was equivalent to thousands of knives pierced into manvi's heart. virat never failed to notice this and this made him worry sometimes... he can understand that a mother is protective about her baby but manvi's reaction on even seeing kasak crying was way too difficult to handle.
at chaudhary mansion...
kasak : put me down mumma...
manvi : no...
virat : cmon manvi...
manvi looked at virat and put kasak down.
kasak : naaannniii...
mitali : my honeybun...
mitali picked up kasak in her arms and kissed her cheek and virat n manvi greeted her while she blessed them...
mitali : this is not done virat... (playing with kasak)
virat : what is not fair mom...??
mitali : you are visiting me after such a long time... and my daughter... she seems really not interesting in seeing me...
virat : no mom its not like that... kasak takes almost of manvi's time...
kasak : hawww... jhooth...
mitali : accha... jhooth... now tell me what will my honeybun have...??? jelly...?? or custard...??
kasak : jelly...
mitali : okk... nani abhi laati hai...
kasak got up to follow mitali in kitchen while virat put his hand on manvi's.
manvi : what...???
virat : manvi u need to set kasak free... we cannot always protect her... agar tum use chalne nahi dogi, girne nahi dogi, toh wo seekhegi kaise... you dont want to make your baby a touch-me-not girl... do u...??
manvi : but... didnt u see she got hurt today virat... i cant see my baby like this... i love her...
virat : i also love her... but getting hurt, falling and again getting up is something we have to teach her... are u understanding what i am saying...???

virat : u say a YES everytime we talk about this topic but whenever it happens, u are back to square one...
manvi : i am trying virat... trust me...
virat : i turst you jaan...
kasak : mummmaaa...
manvi : oh my god... fir se toh chot nahi lag gayi... (manvi started to get panic again when virat glared at her) i... i mean...
virat : control...
in the meantime kasak came running and stood in front of manvi with her hands folded behind.

manvi : but the baby will get scare if she sees it... hai na...??
kasak : so hum isko house nahi leke jaenge...
manvi : we will take this house but we will not bring another baby...
kasak : why...???
manvi : because if another small baby comes, then you will get less time n love...
kasak : you will love me less then...
manvi : may be...

kasak : no... we dont want a small baby...
manvi : exactly...
mitali : coffee for you two and meli honeybun ke liye uski favourite jelly...
manvi : thanks mom...
