"Mommy" Nishika pouted at Nishi ,all are leaving for Mumbai except Nishi, Arjun and Neel.

"Princess I will soon come to Mumbai I promise" Nishi said kissing Nishika cheeks.

"Nishi take care and soon meet Vicky" Nimmi whispered in Nishi's ear while taking Nishika on her lap.

_______________

Nishi took a sip of coffee, her forehead wrinkled in thought  about Vicky and his games "You look tensed" Arjun asked but she didn't replied him she was so engrossed in her own thought that she didn't hear Arjunhim.

"Nishi what happened?" he asked again.

She slightly smiled at him. "Nothing just thinking about hotel."

"Something else is disturbing you, are you still angry with me" he asked sitting next to her, he clasped her hand in his.

She nodded sadly "we are good friends but you made me stranger and to add you ..you again did the same thing which you did in Chandigarh."

"Nishi I can explain"

"No Arjun.. no explanation because I am tired now playing this game, I want my best friend back just my Aljun" she murmured slowly meeting his eyes.

"Ok then we will start a new, you my princess and I Aljun your big teddy" he said cupping her cheeks in his palm, "I know I did wrong but I never wanted to hurt."

"Arjun I need my friend my Aljun!!" she asked her eyes glisten with tears.

"I am here, I promise I am here for you, I am never going to leave you princess" he said rubbing her tears with his thumb.

They were interrupted by a knock at the door.

"Come in" Arjun ordered in annoyed tone.

"Good morning sir, mam"

"Good morning Rajesh" they both replied.

"Have a seat" Nishi gestures him to sit.

"Thank you mam!! I just came to give a good news.. staffs are not going for strike" he smiled and said.

"Whats?" Nishi stood up from her chair "are you sure Rajesh"

"Yes mam" Rajesh happily nodded his head.

"Do they propose anything in trade of strike" Arjun gave questioning look at Rajesh.

"They wanted increase in salary which Navneet sir promised if we worked properly for 2 month we will get increment."

"Hmm... great... thank for this news" Arjun shook his head.

"Good day sir, mam," Rajesh said leaving them alone again.

"Something is wrong, just increment can never make them stop the strike" Arjun looked at Nishi.

"You are right" Nishi said. Mom was right just one call from me to Vicky made this happened just one call she thought.

"Arjunnnn.... dinner is ready" Nishi was calling him since 10 minutes.

"Sorry.. sorry" Arjun entered the kitchen with big smile, he was holding something in his handkerchief.

"I am hungry" Nishi glared at him.

"I know" he smiled innocently.

"Then what took you so long."

"This" he slowly unwrapped his handkerchief , Smile erupted on her beautiful lips.

He asked her to turn around and then he placed the flower necklace around her neck .

"Thanks" she touched the necklace "you remember"

"Yes princess I remember everything, Do you like it ?"

I love it!! She hugs "My big teddy"

"Now let's have dinner I am starving" he said pulling out a chair for her.

Nishi passed him a paper after having dinner they both were sitting outside in the garden.

"Love letter" Arjun arched his brow and asked.

"Yes your Nimmi maa wrote you a love letter" She said "Before reading this letter you have to make a promise that whatever circumstances be we will always stand beside each other the way we use to be in Chandigarh."

"I promise Nishi" he said pulling her into side hug.

They saw a car enter the parking, "Here comes our smarty" Arjun smirked.

"My baby" Nishi called Neel who ran to them. Arjun smiled at Nishi, who always smiles when Neel is around her.

"So how was your friend's party?" Nishi asked ruffling Neel's hair.

"Cool!!"Neel said and laid his head on her lap.

"You two behave as mother and son" Arjun commented.

"Yes I am di's baby" Neel said looking at Nishi.

"You haven't told him" Neel asked.

Nishi nodded.

"It's time di he is your best friend" Neel said and about to got up but Nishi stopped him.

"Arjun read that letter"

"What letter?" Neel asked.

"Umm...Arjun read please"

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

Nishi I know, what I am going to ask you to do is dangerous but darling we have do this for Nishika and our  hotels.

On your graduation day I forgot my mobile in car so I took car key from your massi and went to the parking. When I was coming back I saw Vicky with an aged sardar( Sikh man with turban) that man look familiar to me. I felt as if I have seen him before so I stood there and watched them.

He hugs Vicky and kissed his forehead and then they parted. After they left the parking I went inside the hall. My mind was still on that sardar and then a face flashed in my mind. I was shocked that sardar just look like Yogendra, Navneet partner in Kolkata Nav hotel.

After coming back to India I asked one of my  friend to make a portrait of Yogendra as a sardar and I was shocked to see the result.

After you joined Nav hotels as GM, Vicky came to India he met you and asked you for job and then you came to Pune his plan flopped. I know you don't understand what I mean so read further.

Vimal my best friend you remember her naa, she was having affair with Yogendra. He has been a caring friend for Vimal after her husband died 2 years back. She has no one to take care so he stood beside her as a friend but one day in drunken state Yogendra said something which shocked her .

He told her that he has son whom we never know existed. He lied to us that he doesn't have family. Next morning Vimal asked him about his family he shrugged off stating that he don't have family.

Vimal wanted to break her relation with him because he lied to us but I insisted her to know more about him so she got ready to help. Two days back Vimal was at her home when Yogendra walked to house in drunken state he asked her to marry him, he said he can't live without her but she said she will marry him if he tell her about his past. He was already drunk he told her that he has son from his first wife whose name is Vicky.

"I will kill that bas****" Neel said furiously.

"Neel" Nishi glared at him.

"Arjun please continue"

He reveal  that he want Navneet property so he sent his son Vicky to NY to make you fall for him but their plan failed now again Vicky is back and planning to marry you.

They know that you can never be mother and so once the property is named to Vicky he is  planning  to kill you in an accident and then he can marry his girlfriend Vidhisha. 

If this failed Yogendra is planning to kidnap the real owner of Pune hotel he means Nishika, who is weakness of our family, who is heart of our family .

Right now Vicky is with Yogendra in Kolkata, I think they are planning something. Nishi I don't want Arjun to know this, I don't want Nishika to go away from you. She is your daughter finally God had answered your prayers and gifted you with daughter. You need to manipulate Vicky by saying yes to his proposal so that we can gain some time to find the proof regarding them.

- Mommy

Arjun looked up from the letter his eyes filled with tears he pulled Nishi into hug. "Nishi how ...I mean any accident or something?"

Nishi sobbed ,she was not able to speak "I ...I ...fall from the stairs.... and hurt my abdomen ..." she tightly hugs Arjun and cried.

"But Nishi why didn't you told me"

"Because babaji(God) gave me daughter, I am mother now" she sobbed "I am happiest women, I have Nishika as my daughter."

"Yes Nishika is your daughter" he said kissing her forehead.

Neel smiled at them finally things are getting clear between them.

Nav mansion

"That's why I am saying Nishi should say yes to Vicky's proposal." Nimmi said looking at her best friends and Navneet.

"Nimmi pabbi(sis-in-law) this is wrong" Anand said , "we can't risk Nishi's life" he added shaking his head in disapproval.

"Nimmi is right Anand we should play a game with Yogendra and his son Vicky to find the proof" Navneet proudly looked at his wife he thought she want Nishi to really marry Vicky but truth is that she was saving hotel and Nishika , I am proud of you darling he smiled.
