??: We are her parents.

Everyone was shocked to hear that.

Mukti: Excuse me? See please leave from here or else we will call the police.

??: We are not lying we are really her parents.

Cabir: If you are really her parents then where were you from last 18 years? How come all of a sudden you remembered about your daughter.

??: If you people don't mind can we sit and talk?

They all looked at each other then let them come inside. Nandini holds Manik's hand tightly because firstly she was shocked to see her parents and secondly she thought that maybe they will separate here from her family. Manik understood her inner turmoil so he just side hugged her.

(NM- Nandini's mom, ND- Nandini's dad)

ND: Actually the day Nandini was born some one kidnapped her. We tried to find her everywhere but she was not there in hospital. We filed a police complaint the next day and when we checked the cctv we saw that one of the staff member had kidnapped her. Her mother was completely broken we kept on trying to find her. The person who kidnapped her flew away it was hard to find him because he was the only one who could give us clue. After few months of trying when we didn't found a single clue we started losing hopes. Nandini's mother was in depression I had already lost my child I couldn't afford to lose my wife also. After few years things started getting normal we tried to live our life normally. Suddenly after 5 years a policeman came at our house and said they found that staff member and got a clue about our daughter. We were so happy to hear that news after such a long wait. He said that he kidnapped her for money. When he kidnapped her he didn't had a place to hide her so in order to find the place he kept in the alley so that no one can see her but when he returned she was not there. So the police check the nearby cctv and saw that someone took her with them. From that time we are finding you guys.

Everyone was silent for a while.

Mukti: You guys think we are a fool? Listen stop all this drama and just get out of here.

NM: This is not a drama. She is our child. We have proof. We have the FIR filed on that day. If you guys still have doubt we can conduct a DNA test. Please try to understand a mother's feeling. I beg you guys please give me my daughter.

Manik: Nandini is not going anywhere. She is going to stay here with us forever. Even if its proved that she is your daughter she will be staying here with us.

ND: How can we let our daughter stay with you guys?

Abhi: I think you guys dont have any right on her anymore. She will stay with us just like she did these 18 years.

NM: Its ok if she doesn't stay with us but please allow us to stay with you guys. (crying) I know you must be thinking we are strangers for you all but please I cant stay away from my daughter anymore not when she is right in front of me. Please I beg you dont separate us from her now.

Everyone was silent.... thinking about what to do. They were not getting what to do in such situations.

Manik: OK you both can stay here.... but remember if it is proved that you both lied to us be ready to bear the consequences.

Alia: Manik how can you let them stay here?

Manik: My decision is final. I am going in my room. Cabir tell the servants to show them the guest room.

He dragged Nandini with her.

Inside Manan's room.

Nandini was silent this whole time. She didn't spoke a single word just sat on Manik's lap and hugged him tight.

Manik: (softly and caressing her hair) Nandini bache what happened? Why so silent? You know that I am here you can share it with me.

She broke the hug and stared at him for few minutes. He pecked her forehead. She again kept her head on his chest and was listening to his heartbeats.

Nandini: What if they are my real parent? What if they said that I will have to leave you all? Why when everything is fine in our life suddenly life throws one such problem which just mess up everything. (crying) I am scared.... scared to leave you all.... scared that they will take me far away from you all.... I can't live without anyone of you... I will die without you all.

Manik: (shouts) NANDINI..... DONT YOU EVER TALK ABOUT DYING. Don't you trust me. You know I will never let anything happen to you. I will not let anyone take you away from me. Do you get that? So stop thinking all this rubbish things.

Their conversation was interrupted by a knock on door. Manik picked Nandini in his arms as she was not ready to leave him and opened the door. He saw his friends and let them come in. They all settled down on bed and sofa.

Mukti: Are you freaking serious Manik? You f**king let those people stay here.

Manik: Language Mukti don't forget Nandini is her.

Mukti: I don't care about that. I need an answer why did you do that?

Manik: You think I will take decision without thinking? Have you thought if they came here with some motives and if we send them it will be difficult for us to keep an eye on them. If they stay here they will be in front of our eyes the whole time. Dhruv I want you to increase the security and tell them to keep an eye on them. One of us will always with Nandini the whole time. She should not be left alone. Cabir I want the complete background of their life. Abhi I want you to conduct the DNA test because I don't trust anyone else for this make sure you are there the whole time. Girls try to behave normal with them as if you are trying to accept them so that they think we trust them and Nandini keep in mind you will not meet them alone. Do ever get that?

Navya: Manik what if they are her real parents? What if they are genuine?

Manik: Even if they are her real parents they can't take her away from us and if they are genuine they can stay here with us forever.

Cabir: Nandini you just don't worry ok.... We all are with you no matter what.

Manik: It's too late now everyone go and sleep.

After hugging Nandini they all went in their room. While Nandini was not ready to leave Manik.

Manik: Don't you want to sleep?

Nandini: (she shook her head) Can we sit in balcony for sometime please?

Manik: Sure why not.

They both settled down on the chair in balcony. Nandini was gazing up at the sky while Manik kept staring at Nandini. He knew after sometime she will share what's going inside her.

Nandini: I always used to hate my parents... I kept thinking why would they do that why would they abandoned me.... Was I so unwanted for them that they could just leave their child like that.... People say mother is god's best creation but my mom sh...she left me... After sometime I used to thank them because if they didn't abandon me at that time maybe I would have not met you guys... All this years of hate all of a sudden my parents comes in front of me.... What if I hated them for the mistake they never made? I don't know should I be happy after meeting them or sad....

Manik: My small baby thinks a lot na... Just remember one thing do what your heart says because it will never guide you in wrong direction. See baby no one knows what will happen in future but because of future you should not spoil the moments you can enjoy right now in present. You should know no matter what happens you will find us with you the whole time. After all you are our baby. Now give me a kiss.

Nandini: (blushing) Daddaaaaaa.

Manik: What.... Did you forgot now you are my girlfriend officially so don't you think I deserve a good night kiss.

He jerked her towards him both the hands on her waist. Slowly both of them lean towards each other without wasting time they started kissing each other. Without breaking the kiss he picked her up and went inside the room and laid her on bed and he above her. After few more minutes due to lack of oxygen they broke the kiss.

Manik: Now don't think much and sleep.

She climbed on him.

Nandini: Good night Dadda... love u.

Manik: Good night baby... I love u too.

And they both slept in each other's arms.

That's all for today. Hope you like it.

What do you guys think about Nandini's parent?

Whatever they said was it real or a lie?

Will meet you all in next update.
