Hello ..

Happy reading..

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

Manik and cabir were infront of a cafe ..

Cabir : yeh hum kaha aaye hai manik ..

Manik : maine kaha tha na , mein 24 ganton mein nandhini ko wapas le aunga , here you go , yehi par rehthi hai meri Nandini..

Cabir : arey woh mannat hai na ? Nandhini nahi hai ..

Manik : tum yeh keh rahe ho ki mein apni nandhini ko nahi pehchaan sakta hai na ?

Cabir : ek kaam karte hai , mannat ko paternity test karwayengey secreatly , fhir dood ka dood Pani ka Pani ..

Manik : aur woh kaise karwayengey. You better to remember that Raman papa aur ishi maa London mein settle hogaye , aaj kal papa ki tabiyat bhi kuch teek nahi rehtha hai ..

Cabir : so what Amira and mannat ko ...

But something strikes in his mind and his tongue got tied .

Manik gives a cold expression..

Cabir : sorry yaar mein toh bhul gaya ki Amira nandu ki biological mother nahi hai , i am really sorry..

Manik : you better to be sorry and sirf hum dono hi jaante hai ki humara baccha ... ( his voice got cracked but he composed himself) humara baccha toh iss duniya se aane se pehle hi chala gaya hai , aur doctor ne toh yeh bhi bataya ki nandu kabhi dubara conceive nahi kar sakthi ..

Cabir : humm uss din Amira humme nahi milthi toh shayad hi nandu iss news ko le pati ,

Manik : par yeh baath kisi ko pata chalna nahi chahiye , especially to nyonica..

Cabir : par mannat ( manik glares at him ) i mean nandu ko kaise le chale , woh humare saath kyu ayegi ??

Manik : chalo mere saath ..

They two entered into the cafe , and saw mannat was serving the customers order with her all time smily face ..

Mannat : tum dono fhir se agaye ?? Maine kaha tha na , i will never go back to my home right now ..

Manik : we came here to give a job offer for you and we don't know who your brother is , and what is your family background..

Mannat : job offer ..

Manik : yes ..

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

Manik shows nandhini and his marriage photos and mannat is utterly shocked by seeing photos ..

Mannat : yeh ladki ?? Yeh toh meri tarah ...

Manik : she is my wife nandhini , nandhini manik Malhotra , 4 saal pehle ek accident mein mujse dhoor hogayi thi ,

Mannat : par mein ,, mein toh ..

Manik : tumhe iski jagah meri biwi banke mere ghar aana hoga for the sake of Amira..

Mannat : Amira ??

Manik : Amira is my daughter , jiske saath tum kuch der pehle meri Ghar aayi thi ..

Manik shows Amira photo ..

Amira : jab se tumhe dekhi thi tab se zidd karne lagi hai ki tumhe mein Ghar leke auo ..

Cabir : woh kab zidd Kari thi ??

Immediately manik kicked on cabir leg from under the table ..

Cabir : ahhh ouch ,, haan haan zidd kar rahi thi , she is madly missing you miss mannat ( fake crying ) aur agar aap nahi ayengey toh woh khana bhi nahi khayegi aur bichari ka Dil toot jayega aur ..

Manik : ( whispers ) stop cabir , overacting math karo , ab zyada hora hai ..

But other side mannat is in her own thoughts and deeply thinking of something ..

Manik : so miss mannat , mein iss kaam keliye aapko pay karunga , all you have to do is , for somedays you have to act like nandhini and once Amira goes to boarding school , you will be free ..

Mannat : ( thinking of something) I need some time to take decision, mein ...mein kal bathathi hunn meri decision ..

Manik : ok agar aapko Mera deal pasand hai toh , here is my card ( he farwards his visiting card to mannat ) you have time till evening, come to my office and tell me your decision..

Mannat nods and manik and cabir left from there..

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

Cabir : ab toh bathayega kya kichdi Pak rahi hai tumhare dimaag mein ??

Manik : equation is simple , if woh meri nandhini hai , kayi memory loss jaise hagaya toh , she will remember everything after spending some time with us , agar woh sach mein nandhini nahi mannat ho toh kuch din baad Amira ko hum waise bhi boarding school bhej dengey , fhir mannat will be free from this contract , but mujhe pura yakeen hai ki yeh meri nandhini hi hai ,, so tab tak I will play along with her , or should I say I have to play along with her , koi option bhi toh nahi hai ..

Cabir smirks by seeing manik and says ..

Cabir : don't know about her but mujhe mera kurafathi dosth toh wapas mil raha hai , thoda thoda ..

Manik : agar tumhare jaise dosth , jin ke bhi life mein ho , life barbaad hone mein 2 minute bhi nahi lagega ..

Cabir : woh toh mein hunn , ab humara jasoos Madhubala ji ko manana hai , mujhe Ghar drop kardena ..

Manik : sure ..

He smiles and drops cabir in his house ..

Oberoi mansion..

Pinky : oh my mata , Anika yehi hai aur humme pata bhi nahi hai ..

Dadi : billu mujhe waha ke chalo , mein baat karungi Anika se aur woh jarur meri baat manegi ..

Shivay : nahi dadi , woh abhi bhi gussa hai , mujhe hi usse manana hai , but i promise dadi mein sab kuch teek karunga ,

Rudra : aur pata hai dadi aap par dadi bhi bangaye hai , shivay bhayya ka beta bilkul bhayya ka Xerox copy hai , infact dono ki ankhey toh same hai ..

Om : haan kanje ankey ..

Everyone were first surprised and happy for the truth that Anika is safe and Anika and shivay had a son too ..

Pinky : mujhe ab Inthzaar nahi hoga , mujhe abhi ke abhi mere grand childs ko dekhna hai ..

Shakthi : sirf tumhari akela grand child nahi hai pinky ji , woh mera bhi grand child hai ..

Shivay : par uskeliye kuch din wait karna padega papa , abhi toh Anika ko bhi manana hoga aur sab kuch teek bhi karna hai ..

Teji : ( sadly ) yeh sab mere wajese hora hai , nahi mein nashe mein woh accident kardiya hotha toh nahi Anika ki parents mar Gaye hote , aur iss ghar ki Laxmi issi ghar mein rehthi ..

Pinky : akeli aapki galathi nahi hai Jeet ji , mein bhi toh bahut kuch galat kar chuki thi uss bacchi se , seedha muhh tak baat bhi nahi karthi thi , par ab ek baar maafhi maangna chahthi hunn mein ..

Shivay : maa trust me mein kuch bhi karke Anika ko manalunga aur wapas le aunga tab AAP jithne nafrat diya usse zyada pyaar dijiyega usse fhir bara bar hojayega ..

Pinky nods with tears ...

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

Mannat was deeply thinking about something, Anika observed this , she came to her and kept her hand on mannat shoulder , mannat comes out from her thoughts with a jerk ..

In these days the both became very good friends, now mannat also knows that Anika is none other than her bhabhi ..

Anika : kya hua manu , kuch 0areshaan lag rahi ho .

Mannat : nahi kuch nahi didi ..

Anika : dekh manu , shayad mujhse se share karne se tumhari problem kum nahi hogi but definitely Mann halka hojayega , so tell me what happened??

Mannat takes a Deep breath and thinks for a minute and says ..

Mannat : didi , chaar saal pehle meri ek badi accident huyi thi , ek saal coma mein thi mein ..

Anika hearing with a shocked look ..

Mannat : fhir jab mein come se bahar aayi thi. I didn't remembered any thing , even I didn't remembered my name too ..

Anika : ( shockingly ) fhir ??

Mannat : fhir mere bhayya aur family ne yehi bole ki I am their long lost sister and I am their family. , they gave me so much love and they gave me everything what I want in life , all comforts ,love , freedom, luxurious life , everything..

Anika : yeh toh acchi baat hai , tumhare pariwaar tumhe wapas milgayi hai , fhir what is your problem manu ..

Mannat : woh koi problem nahi hai , problem kudh chal kar mere pass aayi hai , manik Malhotra ki roop mein ..

Anika : matlab ??

Mannat : didi , aaj mein ek insaan se mili thi , naam manik Malhotra , unki biwi dikhne mein bilkul meri tarah dikthi hai ..

Shocking is very underestimate to Anika ..

Mannat : haan didi aur ithna hi nahi , unki wife ki accident 4 saal pehle huyi thi aur ussi accident mein woh mar chuki thi ..

Anika : tum kehna kya chahthi ho ..

Mannat : is everything is just a coincidence ?? What if mein nandhini hunn ?? Toh why bhayya told me that I am his sister ?? Agar mein mannat hunn toh why I felt like a connection with manik's daughter , mujhe kuch nahi samaj aara hai kya karu ?? Upar se manik ne job offer bhi Kiya hai , that I have to act like his wife infront of his daughter , ab kya karu mein di ??

Anika : tumhari problem mein hi tumhari solution hai manu , manik ne job offer diya na accept karle , aur iss ghar jane ke baad pata karne ki koshish karo ki tum asal mein mannat ho ya nandhini , agar tum nandhini hothi toh kuch na kuch clue mil hi jayega , agar nahi mila toh samaj Lena ki tum mannat hai aur tumhare bhayya jo bol raha hai woh sach hai ..

Mannat : shayad tum teek kehrahe ho didi , mein manik ka diya huva job lelungi ..

Anika nods in yes ..

Mannat : di ab mein kuch puchu ??

Anika sees her who nods in yes ..

Mannat : shivay sir aapka husband hai ..

Anika sees her with shocking expression..

Mannat : mein kal dekhi thi aap dono ko , aap shivay sir se gussa kyu ho ??

Anika : it's a long story manu ..

Mannat : di shayad mujhse se share karne se tumhari problem kum nahi hogi but definitely Mann halka hojayega ..

She repeated Anika words Anika also badly wants to cry infront of someone so she agreed to share her past ..

Anika : shivay aur mein ek dusre se bahut pyaar karte the manu , pehle toh hum dono dushman se kum nahi the , fhir dheere dheere pyaar hogaya tha , shivay ne sab ke saamney mujhse shadhi karliye the , fhir kuch din baad mujhe pata chala ki shivay ke bade papa hi mere maa papa ka murderer hai , and shivay yeh baat jantha hai ..

But he hide everything from me to protect his bade papa , isiliye I left him , ayise jhoote logon ke saath kaise reh sakthi mein ?? Isiliye I hate him ..

Mannat hugs her and Anika cries her heart out ..

Mannat : ( in mind ) nahi bhabhi , kuch toh bahut badi misunderstanding huyi hai , shivay bhayya ayisa insaan nahi hai., aur bade mamu bhi ayisa insaan nahi , i will try to figure out the real matter bhabhi , i promise...

******,*****,**,

What do you think will mannat be able to find her identity ??

What is the misunderstanding created btw Anika and shivay??

Let's see in future chapters ..
