Mumbai
Malhotra Mansion
Manik n Abhi were having a nice time they were sitting on the pool side n enjoying their talks n laughing forgetting the whole world around.
Abhi didn't remember to call at home once also for he was so busy with his best friend n their talks,laughing n leg pulling session. The same was with manik too he completely forgot of Maria.

They were right now in some other world only. Enjoying each other company ignorning everything.

Just then Maria came with simran rubbing her eyes n catching her favourite candy in her hand.

Abhi saw her n waved hand towards her on seeing Abhi,Maria ran towards him n abhi hugged her n carried her in his arms.

Abhi was Maria best friend and favourite chachu. Whenever she get's angry on her papa she used to ask Manik to call him n used to complaint to abhi about her papa what he did n used to tell him to scold manik n not talk to him like her. They both shared a very good bond. Abhi treated Maria like her own child. Nandini was his one little baby n other was Maria.

Abhi: my sweety doll has become so big
He kissed her on her cheeks

Maria: frienz I love u
She said n kissed her chachu whom she calls as friend and hugged him

Manik was standing n smiling on seeing the duo n their love

Abhi: ur friend love's u more so how is my baby girl doing fever gone na
He checked her forehead.

Maria:gonne
She said laughing

Maria was too happy to meet Abhi she was smiling n laughing on seeing him.

Man: oyye ur friend came toh u forgot ur papa na
He said making a cute pout

Maria: nono papa
She said innocently and jumped into his arms from abhi n hugged him

Manik took her n kissed her cheeks

Abhi: oyee mr jealous let her spend time with me na
And he took Maria from Manik arms

Maria happily again hopped into his arms.

Man: Wow great dono friend mil gaye toh meri abb kisi ko zarorat he nai
He said making a sad pout again

Abhi: hogaya abb ja n bring something to eat for my sweety doll.

Manik smiled n bowed down
Man: yes sir

On which Abhi n maria laughed n gave high five to each other

Mar: papa rommey, frienz new toys playin
She said excitingly

Abhi: haa chalo let's play

Maria: khamboli baba
Abhi smiled n put maria down.

Manik looked at them confusingly
Abhi n maria had their own words which sometime were totally alien for manik.

Man: what baba???
He said totally confused

Abhi: tu rehni di u won't understand

Abhi bend down n took Maria on his back n hold her legs while she put her small hand around her neck n rested her head on his back

Manik saw this n smiled at abhi n maria cute bond which was so pure he knew that incase if something happens to him his daughter will be safe n sound because Abhi will b there too take care of her n love her just like him as he treat her like his own baby.

Manik was happy to see his princess happy

Abhi n Maria went to Maria room n manik moved towards kitchen to instructed servant to prepare dinner n told them all dishes which were Abhi favourite n make maria hot chocolate.

Well both friends were too foodie n love food, before when they were in school n college their only love was food 😁😁😁
