Ma :- but it's too risky arjun . What if she will try to kill my love .

Ar :- I know it's risky . But who told you to enclosed her identity .

Ma :- ( after understanding ) ohhh, that means you want me to confess that I am dating someone but her identity should be hidden .

Ar :- yes... but you should be very careful about it . Because no one should know about your girl .

Ma :- I make sure that  . By the way nice idea.

Ar :- ( bowing down in dramatic manner ) thank you sir .

Both laughs at this . After completing their dinner both left towards their home. 

Manik reached his home . He parked his car and moves inside . He steps inside to see his parents are sitting in the living room . He smiles knowing why they are here at this late . He moves towards them and laid down keeping his head in mother's lap .

Ra :- is this the time to reach home Manik . I already told you to spare some time for your family too.

Ma :- dad it was an urgent meeting. 

Ra :- I know Manik . But you have to learn to keep personal and professional life separate . You have to give your time to family too .

Nyo :- Manik, raj is saying right . You have to learn to give your time to your family. I know work is important but family is more important than anything . If we lost money so we can earn it again , but if we lost family we can't get that back.

Manik noads his head in acknowledgement. Raj smiles and kiss his forehead .

Ra :- I know my son would understand . Ok so let's go to sleep , I am very tired .

Ma :- dad why you stay awake for me . Even mom you too , why you both waste your time while waiting for me .

Nyo :- chup!! How can I sleep when I know my son is not at home right now .

Ra :- even i am your dad , I too have a heart . I am also get worried when you don't reach home on time .

( I read in many stories that always mother waits for her kids. Why not father did so . Even fathers loves his kids too. But he never shows it. That's why I want to show something this .  )

Manik thanks nandini's ayiaapaa in mind because he gave him lovely parents . He stood up and hugs both of them .

Ma :- ( cutely ) why you guys are soo sweet . I love you so soo much. 

Ra + nyo :- I love you too my baby ......

Ma :- ahhh.... I am not a baby. 

Ra :- you are always stays our baby , even if  you have your baby in your arms.

Manik became emotional listening this and kisses Raj's cheek .

Ra :- ( rubs his cheek where he kissed him ) hey.... You are not that small .

Both mother and son laughs on Raj's irritated face . Raj smiles too seeing both mother and son duo laughing .
