He asked her but her full attention was on his hand which was holding her favourite chocolate

Nan : yup by the way these r for me so when r u planning to give them to me huh? ??

Abhi inorder to trouble her open the box n put one chocolate in his mouth n handed one n the box to mukti. Mukti understood n winked at him.

Mu: nope nandu they r for me. I told him to get it for me when he come back n don't even thing I m going to share them with u.

Nandini was hell angry she stomp her leg in irritation n had few tears in her eyes. She hated to share her chocolate with anyone that too they were her favourite. Even though she was so old yet she was too naive n innocent n sharing her chocolate would be the last thing that she would ever do.

Mu: such a small baby u r seriously u have become a doctor holding a mbbs degree n u r crying over a chocolate

Abhi who's overprotective mode was now on became held worried n stared at mukti to keep her mouth shut

Abhi: arrey baby doll they r for u only baba we were just kidding . Sorry ...

Abhi hold his ears nandini melted down n shove off his hands n smiled at him n snatch the box from mukti hand
This made them laugh on her cute little baby who has grown up yet is small for them.

Abhi : so what time is your paper baby doll.

Nandini who was munching chocolate with her mouth full of it said

Nan : 10.00 bhai

Abhi :so we should keep moving after I fresh up mukti u have to go to college today???

Mukti: yup I will take out ur clothes let move fast or else v will get traffic n it's Nandu paper we can't be late.

Abhi rush to his room n mukti followed him after showing nandini through her hand to complete her breakfast she just nodded

In mean time abhi n mukti came down n they had their breakfast n left for their destination in car.

There was still time so they decided to drop mukti first
Mukti got out she hug nandini

She kissed her on her cheek nandini felt that her mother missing place was filled by mukti when she entered her life. The way she used to care for her was like a mother does for her child she in return hugged her again tightly n had few tears in her eyes.

Soon Abhi left Nandini at her exam center after wishing her luck.

Nandini pov

Manik took his shower n came out still finding soha sleeping. He got dressed up n went to his princess room to check on her she was awake by then n starring outside the window
He went up to her n carried her in his arms n kissed in her cheek to which she smiled brightly

Man: good morning princess Had a good sleep

Maria: godd moornig papa

She said in her sweet sugarily voice

Manik: so all set for the day papa n princess r going out na to enjoy

Maria : ayy roaminng roaminng
She said excitily to which manik chuckled

Man: toh chalo let get princess ready he said

Manik made her brush her teeth freshen her up n made her have bath n got her ready in a red frock n matching shoes n clip on her small little cruely hair she was looking adorable
Manik just felt like eating her up

Maria:papa mumma ???

Manik peeped into his room to see soha still sleeping he helplessly look at her baby

Manik: Maria mummy is sleeping she was too tried that's y

Maria face fell down, she pouted sadly as she didn't meet her mumma for a long time .
Manik felt so helpless as he could not do anything about this.
He felt so disgust as how can a mother behave this way with a little child, as Maria was so cute n adorable that anyone can love her.
Par then he realized that Soha have a heart of stone.
