School opening has been postponed to god knows when! Recently I read my ff and literally burst out laughing. Not coz of the lame jokes but the spelling mistakes.
Anyways here is ur update

************************************

Manik's POV

" you have another surprise" I say making her excited.
"Really" Nandini asks and I grab her hand and walk next to the window.

I open the window and point to the gate which was opening to reveal Chandini.

"Chandu" Nandini screams in excitement and pulls me towards her and pecks my cheek. I didn't see that coming.

After a minute, I can see Nandini pulling Chandini into a bear hug.
Sometimes I wonder who is older and who is younger.

"Are you real or a figment of my imagination"? I heard Nandini ask. They both chuckle. Where does all of this come from.

After taking a shower, I go down to hear Nandini screaming" burgular, theif,intruder, tresspasser,cracksman, raider".

I grab a stick and run towards the kitchen to see Nandini trying to hit Pandit with a frying pan and kicking him oh his leg. He is on the floor wincing in pain.

"What the hell Nandini"? I scream .

"What did I do now. Just because I screamed you are angry. I screamed because I saw a burglar. What was I supposed to do? Say -Well hello burglar. How are you? Would you like tea, coffee or cool drinks?... Instead I would hit him with a frying pan and shove chilly powder up his ass" she says sarcastically.

"You idiot, that's not a theif, that's pandit." I say making her look at him.

"What the hell are you doing in jeans and jacket, pandit" she asks looking surprised.
"Grandma forced me to wear this" he says with tears in his eyes ready to fall any second. He is such a cry baby. But still he is holding on even after grandma's torture.

Nandini giggled,
Pandit crippled.

"I am sorry, but I must say you have the qualifications and appearance for establishing yourself in the robbery industry" Nandini says and resumes cooking.

Pandit drags himself, away from the kitchen and away from Nandini.

"What are you making"? I ask.
"Food that can be eaten" she replies.
"All food can be eaten" I retort
",have you ever tried my hakka noodles. I am telling you all food are not edible" Nandini says.

I quit.

Suddenly my cousins come and dit on the kitchen counter and ask " Nandini, you told us about how you accompanied manik but you didn't say anything about yourself" arya asks.

"What do you need to know?" Nandini asks

"Any random stuff about you"abhi says eating a diary milk.

Nandini's POV
"Ok. I am very famous in my house. I hate walking on the sand with wet slippers. I hate ants. Not thr small one but the big red and black ones. I tend to do gymnastics at night while sleeping. I also have a habit of watching hobbit every Friday but nowadays I don't" I say.
"That was a bit more random than I expected" riddhima exclaims.

"I am getting bored" I say.

" how about we all go for a swim in the traditional pond" manik suggests.

"Oh yeah, I love swimming even though I don't know swimming" I say excitedly.

"Yes pandit will take you" grandma says.

"Pandit take all the children towards the pond and come back fast. You have to google how to make hamburgers from scratch" grandma says to pandit and goes away.. Pandit has a tired expression on his face.

"Awwww.. poor guy" I say.

"Aren't you feeling empathetic"? manik asks .

"If I become empathetic, then your grandma would make me do something that would make you guys feel sympathetic. But I know you guys would never be empathetic but you will only be sympathetic. So I will never be empathetic" I say making them confused.

"I thought we were done with this empathy and sympathy conversation"manik says.

"You brought it up" I accuse.

"You know you both are having an argument on a crazy topic. Anyways try not to kill each other in your,journey. Now lets go"abhi says

Everyone except chandini is swimming. Even though I am not swimming but jumping like a frog in the water I am trying.
"Chandu, come" I call.

"No yaar, I am scared" she says shaking her heading and laughing.

Obviously she is laughing at me. Its not every girl who has the luck to have a crazy sister like me. Crazy in a good way. Ok

"Come plz for me. Don't come towards the deep side likel I say.

"Nandu, fyi you are not on the deep side. Even a toddler can simply walk there" manik teases.

I scowl at him and calls chandu.

Maybe that was the worst mistake I could make.

She steps down to the water and slips. She hits her gead on the step.

Even though she wasn't bleeding, she is unconscious.

We rush her to the hospital and all I can think about is Chandu's safety.

Everything is my fault. I know I didn't do it intentionally, but its still my fault.
"I should call Ranbir" manik says and rushes outside.

"I should call ma" I say to myself.

I slowly gather courage and dial her number with Chandu's phone. She takes the call instantly and say

"HellO chandu. Beta where are you. I am sorry for not allowing you to get married to Ranbir. Please come back"

Nan- ma
Ma,- hello.. who.. ... Nandu?

Nan- yes, its me nandu.

I tell about chandini amd she hangs up saying she is coming right away.

After five hours

Manik went to buy medicines and I see ma running towards us.

"How is she " she asks a nurse.

"We can't say anything right noe.Please co-operate." The nurse says and wks away. Ranbir had already come.

"You! You spoiled my life. Now you're spoiling my daughter's life too. Like father, like daughter. How can you be so insensitive?...." ma shouts but gets interrupted by Nyonika aunty.

"Not her, but how can you be so insensitive. Your daughter is laying unconscious inside and you are blaming your other daughter for your life problems. Pathetic."

Why me?
"You may have a thousands on your side Nandini, but let me tell you something, I regret giving birth to you. " ma says.

I couldn't handle the pain anymore. Maybe I am truly responsible for all this. I can't stand her hate anymore. I run towards the opposite direction. I know mukti, alya and ridhima are behind me. But I need some peace.

Manik s POV

I hand over the medicines to the nurse and come in front of the ICU. Ranbir had got permission and went inside.

"What happened? Did Chandini wake up? Where is Nandini?" I ask cabir

"Ranbir, got permission, even though she is not yet conscious. And Nandini..." cabir says with a very sad face.

"What the hell happened to Nandu" I shout in anger.

Cabir slowly starts telling me what happened. How can a mother be so heartless? Suddenly all the girls come back
"manik, we are worried about her. She isn't crying. She is actually smiling. She needs your help. Only you know her" alya says.

I rush towards the terrace to see her crying.

"Nandu" I call her. I hold her hand refraining her from wiping her tears.

"Manik" she calls and hugs me bursting into tears.

"Manik, am I so bad that nobody can love me. Its okay, if I don't get love but I don't want anyones hate. Today my mom told me she regretted giving birth to me. I can't bare her hate anymore. Maybe I have done something wrong." She spills my heart out.

"No! Never even give a thought of thinking that you are wrong. You are not wrong. You didn't make a mistake. Maybe you may not have got a mothers love but you have got people who love you for what you are.

Honestly, it might not be anything in front of mothers love. I will tell you something, any person who has a proper head would love you.

Why did you say nobody can love you? You should be proud that you are best friends with "THe Manik Malhotra " I say finally making her smile.

"Manik, you are supposed to consolr me and not make me cry by reminding that I am best friends with Monster Manik." She mocks.

Nandini's back. I am happy and contrnt because today my dear friends- I made Nandini moorty smile and not the other way around.

"This may not be your best birthday, but let me give your daily medicine" I sau and peck her cheeks.

"Happy birthday, nandu"
