Murty Villa,
Bangalore

Nandini entered the house and saw everyone was sitting in the living room talking . But her eyes were searching for her Nyoma whom she considered equivalent to Ishita. "May be she is in kitchen she thought". She went inside and wished everyone.

Nandini- Good evening everyone. (She hugged Anurag and started sobbing). I missed you uncle, so very much. You toh are soo busy with you work. You don't miss your guriya na

She asked like a kid. Though it pinched Ram to see his daughter meeting and hugging his best friend first but he was happy seeing her behaving like a kid after so long because after Ishita 's death he lost his princess somewhere. He knew he was at fault . He was never there for her when she needed him the most. He felt guilty, but did not had the guts to apologise to his daughter. He wiped the tear from the corner of his eye before anyone could see. Karan kept his hand on his shoulder and blinked his eyes in assurance to which he just smiled a little.

Anurag was happy seeing his guriya showing tantrums as it was very rare to see this side of her nowadays.

Anurag- nai guriya esa nai hai beta. Bhala mein apni guriya ko kese bhul skta hu. You are a precious gift of god to me just like Mukti is. Tu jaanti hai na work load . (She nodded like a kid). Acha toh meri guriya naaraz hai hmm.... (She again nodded playing with his shirt button. He smiled at her act). Hwwww.... Itni baadi problem hogae.... Ab kya kiya jaye (he acted like thinking). Pr koi nai mein apni guriya ko mana lunga. Areee Neyonika dekho koon aaya hai. Aur haa aate time na vo gift bhe leti aana.

Neyonika came with the gift and seeing Nandini standing with Anurag she got very happy and approached them as fast as she could.

<'Guys ab bhage ge thodi buddhe hogae hai bhai.... Chot vot lggae toh...😜😜😜 Kidding... Never mind.😁😁 Let's continue '.>

Neyonika - Nandu.... mera bacha kesa hai hmm..... (Nandini hugged her as tightly which she reciprocated equally). Mujhe dekhne toh de tujhe. Hayeeee....... Kinni dubli hogai ee tu . Khana pani changi tara nae na khadi tu . Menu pta ee {hai kitni dubli hogae hai tu. Khana pani thiik se nae na lete tu mujhe pta hai}. Chal hun mey aagae aa mey sb dekh lvange{ chal ab mey aagae na sb dekh lunga}.

Anurag- are Neyonika tum baaton baaton mein meri guriya ka gift dena bhuul gayi. (He takes the gift from Neyonika and handed over to Nandini). Ab khush guriya. Ab naaraz nai hai na tu??

She nodded in a no and again hugged him.
She then turned towards her dad and bhai who were waiting for her to hug them too. She smiled a little seeing them. Whatever may be the situation , she loved her family to infinity that anger could also not overpower her love towards them . She hugged them too and the trio shed some tears.

Karan- jao Nandu tum fresh hojao.

She nodded and left. Half-way something stuck her mind and turned towards Neyonika.

Nandini- aaaa.... Nyoma... Mukti bhe aai hai na aaplogo ke sath. Kha hai dekh nahi rahi.

At that time, someone from behind closed her eyes. "Guess who"the person asked.

Nandini- Muktiiiiiii...(she turned and both hugged). Chlo room mein chale bohot saari baatein krni hai.

Everyone knew she was faking happiness, but none spoke.

Mukti- haa chalo.

They entered Nandini's room and settled themselves on the bed and starting their ranting. Mostly it was Mukti who was speaking. She told her about Fab5 and Cabir 's lame jokes and she would smile whenever Mukti would laugh. She also told her that Nayva was 5 months pregnant. Hearing this she smiled brightly and this time it was a genuine one. Their talks were disturbed by Neyonika calling them for dinner.

Mukti- dii aap fresh hojao. I'm waiting. Phir hum eksath niche jaenge.

She nodded and went to freshen up. Then both the girls moved to the dining area and got seated at their places. They finished their dinner with a little chit chat and moved towards the living room.

Ram- princess we have decided something for you. Please burra mat manna . Ek baar meri poori baat sunle phir uske aage I'll not force you. We'll agree to whatever you decide.

(Nandini was shocked hearing princess from her father's mouth because after her Ishima and Amms death, he never called her princess. She was somewhere happy but also curious to know what the matter was that her dad was pleading her soo much. She nodded and Ram continued.

Ram- beta we want you to get settle in life now. You are independent, you don't need to depend on anyone now. Aur ye age bhe sahi hai shaadi ke liye. Teri maa aur Amms ke jaane ke baad tu yahan pe akeli rehti hai, janta hu meri bhe galti hai isme par majboor hu beta chah kr bhe kuch nai karskta mein. Isi liye chahta hu jeete je teri shaadi dekh lu (he wiped his tears). Dekh mein tujhe force nai karunga. Jo tu kahegi, jese kahegi vesa hi hoga. Aage teri marzi. Par meri baat par amal zaroor krna. Raat bohot hogayi hai mein soone jaraha hu, bhabi kisi servant se kehkr pani bhijva dijeaga.

Neyonika nodded and he left for his room. Karan kept his hand on her head and said

Karan- dekh kiddo tujh par koi pressure nahi hai. Tujhe ese nai dekha jata . Jo bhe faisla le soch samajh kr lena. God bless you. Mey chalta hu safar se kafi thakavat hogayi hai.

Mukti- bhai rukiye na. Mom, mein sb ke liye doodh garam krvati hu.

Karan- muku, guriya mere liye please room mein he bhijva dena

She nodded with a smile and he left. Mukti too went to the kitchen.

Nandini- aap dono ko kuch nai kehna uncle , Neyoma???.

She asked looking at both of them. They both looked at each other and then at Nandini and smiled.

Neyonika - nai Nandu. Hum jante hai, tu har faisla durso ki khushi ko aage rakh kar leti hai but this time I want you to think for yourself first bache because it's gonna be your life. You have to spend it with your mate. Keep that in mind. Aur tu jo bhe sochegi hum mdono tere sath hai hmm....( Anurag too nodded in approval). Ab tension mt le aur jaa sooja. Tu bhe thak gai hogi na subha se jaa.

She had tears listening to Neyonika. She hugged both of them and went to her room.
