On the occasion of auspicious festival Diwali Nandini have holiday yet she had to wake up early in the morning because of her mother's ritual of having bath before sunrise. She respects festivals but currently she is irritated because of her incomplete sleep.     As she can't sleep again so she thought oftroubling her monster who must be awake. But she was proven wrong when he didn't pick her call even after 3calls. So she stopped calling and thought of distrubing her friends. It's been while she haven't spent time with them.      Much to her dismay even they were busy with their respective partners so she spent her morning with her pets in the parking. It was 10am when her ph rang.     "Good morning" she said with bright smile. &

        "Sir" Sahil knocked on the door after pressing bell button.      "What is it?" He found Manik's voice little tipsy and also saw the bottle of rum in his hand.     "Someone delivered this" he handed him the envelope.      "Okay ...... Leave".     "Sir .... R u fine?" He hesitated but asked looking at Manik's state. Manik was little baffled.       "Hmm ..... U both can take a leave for today ...... Go nd meet ur family".

He can't afford to feel anything or else he will die with the exploitation of self loathing.      But he skillfully blocked Nandi

     Nandini's car stopped in front of the Eshana's house, the place is beautiful but the construction of the bunglow looks much older than her own age. They both stepped out of the car and Manik stilled for a moment. He observed the surrounding nd turned to Nandini.    "U go ...... I will call Abhimanyu to pick me" he said that to her.    "I will stay with u" she said.   "Ur parents must be waiting ...... U go .....  I will attend the session" he said firmly, leaving no space for denial. And she nodded.    "Sure?"    "Hmm".    "Bye" she said but she didn't want to go. He held back of her neck sof

     "I'm pregnant" she said in one breath and after a moment his body slipped  down. He kneeled in front of her, outside the police station, he was unbothered about the surrounding but she was conscious yet she ignored them.     He just lifted her top up and kissed her tummy after hiding his face into her top, wetting her soft flesh. She understood his insecurity and fear of accepting the happiness, she can't blame him for being like this because he has received so much evilness nd pain all together to believe in goodness.       "It's real Manik" she caressed back of his head lovingly nd he cried more out of euphoria.      "Marry me" taking his head out of her top he asked di
