Aryan was surprised seeing his boss in a toy shop, but he was happy. He was a loyal employee. He loved his boss despite of every scolding sessions.
"Sir" He came near a smiling Manik.
"Yes" Manik was instructing the seller to pack that, that and that tooo. Aarushi was going to have a longgg day.
"I am happy that you got love" He said with nervousness as he was sure that he will get scolded. But he forgot, his boss was a changed person.
Manik smiled and patted his shoulders and whispered "Thanks for the blessing. You will get promoted next week" This made Aryan jump and hug Manik. Aryan realised and moved away. "Sorry..Actually.." He stammered which made Manik smile. He patted his back and said "Your boss is a changed person now. Don't be scare..But yeah..Be scared of your boss's P.A, that is soon to be Mrs. Malhotra." He revealed the secret which made Aryan smile very much. Nandini was a very humble person. She was liked by all the staffs "But she's married?" Aryan asked. Manik smiled and replied "That's a secret"
Manik smiled and walked out of the mall with his staffs.
He waved bye to the staffs and bodyguards and knocked a door.
He looked at the door opener and smiled "Helloo..Sweetypiee"
Aarushi was there. She smiled. She waved hi and turned towards her mother who was working in the kitchen.
"Mommyyy..Manik Malhotla has come" She was an intelligent child. She has heard someone calling him Manik Malhotra
This saddened Manik a bit but he smiled hoping for the best. He wanted to be called as *Papa*
Nandini smiled and walked towards the gate.
"Manik" She ran towards him and hugged him. He smiled and caressed her hairs and whispered "Aarushi"
Nandini got her senses back. She looked towards Aarushi who was watching them with a thumb in her mouth and ofcourse, her favorite teddy.
" Please bring the things" Manik called for someone who brought tons and tons of, TOYS.
Aarushi gave the most biggest smile seeing sooooo manyyyy toys. Nandini smiled looking at Manik who was smiling looking at the little angel. She smiled eyeing his efforts for Aarushi.
Aarushi hid behind Nandini as Manik called her. She was a girl of self respect. She couldn't just grab a gift from a stranger until her mother nods.
Nandini smiled and caressed her hairs which made Aarushi look at her. Nandini nodded in a yes. Aarushi ran towards the chests and took as many as her hands could grab.
MaNan laughed at the little angel.
Aarushi looked at Manik and left all those gifts and ran to her room and closed the door.
Manik ran towards the door but it was closed. He knocked but of no use.
"Maybe she don't want me as her father" Manik turned towards the gate and was about to get out when a sound stopped him.
"Paappaa" He immediately turned around and saw Aarushi near her smiling mummy.
Manik with tears in his eyes and a never ending smile ran to her and sit to be in height and hugged her tightly "Aaru" He said while Aarushi smiled and hugged him from his neck.
Nandini smiled seeing the father-daughter bond with tears in her eyes.
"Whyy alee youu clyingg?" Aarushi pouted and wiped his tears on which he laughed and giggled.
"Nothing papa ki jaan..." He kissed all her face and caressed her hairs.
"Why did you throw the toys away? You didn't like them?" Manik asked cupping her cheeks.
"I didn't want you to think that I am being greedy" She said in her babyish voice.
Manik kissed her forehead "Never ever Papa ki Jaan..Everything is yours, sweety pie! Me, Mumma and all the toys" He said while her eyes twinkled.
"Can I take some then?" She asked.
"Everything is yours! " Manik said and called his men.
The men arranged the toys chests in her room and went away.
Now, MaNan were alone. Manik came closer to Nandini and wiped her tears "Our babyyy is happy" He said and kissed her forehead to which she happily nodded.
"I love you...I can't express how much.." She was shushed by her beloved who smiled and kissed her corner mouth and said "I love you more" and with that, they shared a beautiful kiss.
