Avoid mistakes if any.

Manik was playing with the boys as Nandini was out of his sight, while Nandini came in the room of the boy. The boy was wrapping up the colours and stuff. Seeing Nandini he smiled. Nandini sat down beside him and then took him in her lap.

Then she explained that how to sell a painting, she asked about what he will do of the money that she will give him. The boy told her that the baby she was holding, he treats her like his sister and he will save for her better future. Nandini smiled, kissed his temple and then said.

Nan-okay........now when you sell the paining.... it should always have your autograph.

B-autograph?

Nandini giggled and said.

Nan-yes.........autograph is like a sign.......while it's your trademark.......your name can be your autograph too.

The boy understood what's an autograph so he bobbed his head. Then Nandini picked up the painting and said.

Nan-ab ispe apna autograph do.

The boy smiled sweetly and looked at Nandini sideways as he was sitting on her lap. With the boy being in the lap. Nandini picked up the painting, a board under it and colours. She handed him the brush and told him to write his name on the painting.

The boy took a brief moment to decide the colour that would suit the painting. Being an borned artist he took time to decide the colour. Then he dipped his brush in the painting and was about to write his name but was confused with the spelling. He asked Nandini's help and she held his small hand and they together wrote the name.

Once this was done the boy looked at his name as autograph on the painting and Nandini clapped for his achievement. She caressed his side hair and the boy rested in her lap. After spending some good time. Nandini gave him cash but in small amount and promised to send a small amount of his painting every month so that the money doesn't get stolen.

The boy agreed and then both of them came outside where Manik was playing. The boy left Nandini and joined Manik. Even Manik liked the boy too immediately. Nandini was a bit tired that's why she was sitting on the staircase when a girl approached her and asked if she could make a different kind of hairstyle for her.

Nandini agreed so the girl gave her the comb and a band. She sat in front of Nandini who started combing her hair as gently as she could. Manik smiled looking at the scene and remembered how kind is Nandini.

While few mins before when Nandini was busy with the boy, Manik had sneaked out and came to mother to offer help but then he got to knew that Nandini have given so much that they could last for a year and in this year all the expensive could be saved which will help them for the next year.

In this way a cycle will start soon that they would have sufficient for every year. Still Manik gave her a cheque of big amount but didn't put any date and asked her to use in case of emergency.

Anyways, while combing her hair, Nandini was talking to the baby when a mini tempo entered the orphanage gate and soon a few workers started putting gunnysacks on their back. Nandini knew what it was. Care taker was asked to keep it in safe place.

After Nandini was done with making a new style for the girl, the girl kissed her cheek and left to flaunt it in front of other girls. Nandini had a smile as the girl kissed her and then she looked ahead to see Manik's eyes on her.

Unknowingly they shared a beautiful smile. Manik then came to Nandini, sat beside her and asked with his hands resting on his knees.

Ma-when are you planning to go back?

Nan-why? Are you bored?

Ma-no just asking generally.......coz it above 4.00 of evening.

Nan-I guess........i won't leave before night....... if you wish to go then go........you don't have to suffer coz of me.

Ma-it's not a problem Nandini.......I was just asking generally.

Saying that he left to the boys again and now they decided to play board games as he was tired now with playing outdoor games. The whole day passed finally.

Finally it's time to leave the orphanage. After bidding good bye to the kids and the staff of the orphanage, Nandini made way to her car while Manik was ahead of her a bit and then reached the car early and was waiting for her. Even if it was for 2 seconds,

Nandini was all set to unlock her car when Manik came to her and said coming close to her.

Ma-come with me Nandini.

Nan-huh?

Ma-I meant.........let's go together.......my driver will drop your car at your home.

Nan-and why so?

Ma-coz honestly.........i came her to spend some time with you.

Nan-your honesty.......

Nandini rolled her eyes and didn't move to which Manik said.

Ma-okay fine........you don't trust my driver.

He turned to the driver, called him, gave him his car keys and said.

Ma-Murthy mansion pe mera wait karo.

The driver left and Manik turned to Nandini.

Ma-let's go in your car.........satisfied.

Saying that he gently pulled out the key from Nandini's hand and unlocked the car, opening the passenger seat door for her he gestured a requesting look to her to sit. Chuckling at his behaviour Nandini quietly sat in the passenger seat.

Manik closed the door and rushed to the driver seat. Soon both the cars left the orphanage. Manik's car that driver was riding speed up leaving Manan alone.

Manik was driving at a normal speed yet calmly. There was silence btwn them for a very long time until Manik spoke.

Ma-tum suddenly orphanage kyu aayi............ and why Lonavala..........Mumbai mei bhi hai na?

Nan-I wanted to drive for a long distance so that's why.

Ma-ohhh.........so you wanted to drive........ did i like snatch your wish of driving?

Nandini giggled and said.

Nan-Manik........don't make a issue of it.......and i am damn tired......so it's good that your driving.......bas i want some food.

Manik smiled at her cuteness and focused on driving. In btwn they were talking. Nandini's body was rested on the seat. Even though they were talking, there was peace btwn them. Suddenly Manik entered in a gate. Nandini looked around to find a hotel coming in front of her.

Nan-what's this?

Manik replied while parking the car.

Ma-you wanted food na..........so here we are.

Nandini looked around and Manik was done with parking the car. Nandini cringed her nose and said sweetly.

Nan-but i wanted to eat from some dhaba........ not a hotel.

Hearing dhaba Manik was a bit surprised. He asked in confusion.

Ma-dhaba? Are you serious?

Nan-what's wrong in that?

Ma-no.........i meant i thought you don't like such stuffs.

Nandini's eyebrows raised a bit and she said doubtfully.

Nan-you have pictureised me in that character just coz i came back studying from abroad.

Ma-are you offended.........i didn't mean that way.

In reply Nandini didn't say anything and to lighten up the mood Manik said.

Ma-since you have demanded something from me for the very first time.........i will fulfill it with all my heart.

With this he started the car again and got out of the gate of the hotel. Then the drive was silent and Manik was keenly watching so that they don't miss the dhaba.

On finding one, they entered in and parked the car. They came down with Nandini being on his side. Manik looked around for a decent place coz since it was night, there were more of truck driver's rather than local public.

They got a corner place, so coming there they sat on the charpai and soon a person came to serve them water and menu card. After having a brief look at it, they ordered the food and were now waiting for it.

Since they knew the food is about to come, their hunger grew a bit from what they could be hungry. They were sitting silently and were looking around the atmosphere of the dhaba. The small shelter made were food was cooked was unique in its own way.

The dhaba was surrounded by tree and kind of jungle, that was also beautiful along with the fresh and cold air surrounded it made it pleasant. The combination of lights and night darkness was also fun. The smell of semi wet mud. All in all it gave a good ambience.

While Nandini was busy in the surrounding Manik was busy in Nandini. His gaze just couldn't move from Nandini. He was relaxed since she was infront of him. He didn't move his eyes until Nandini looked at him.

When she looked at him,she saw him moving his gaze and she doubted that was Manik looking at her. She frowned and saw him looking around. Chuckling she spoke.

Nan-it's a nice place.........

Ma-yeah........let's see how's the food.

Just than food arrived. Manan filled their plates and started eating amidst talking and laughing. In btwn eating, Nandini raised her hand to call a waiter. When he came Nandini said.

Nan-hari mirchi milegi?

The waiter bobbed his head and left to get it (the attire of waiter was turban,kurta and lungi). Anyways after he left Manik gulped in fear as if Nandini will ask him to eat that and his will he eat.

The water got 5-6 chillies in a small plate and placed it in front of Nandini who was very happy. She looked at Manik accidentally and saw him sweating. She smiled and said.

Nan-tumhe nhi de rhi khane.........

Saying that she ate a bit and then took a bite of green chilli. She chewed the spicy bite and said.

Nan-muje na mirchi khane mei bahut psnd...... its very unique.........but mom na bahut gussa krti hai.

Manik had turned statue seeing Nandini eating chilli so normally. He couldn't eat for a few mins. After that he came out of his reviver and continued eating along with looking at Nandini who was casually eating her food.

Other thing what caught his attention was that she was not making faces on butter or oil from the food. Infact she had ordered extra butter for her paratha. Seeing all that Manik asked.

Ma-tum dieting pe toh bilkul bhi bharso nhi krti hogi na?

Nandini spoke after gulping her bite.

Nan-dieting kr k maar na hai........aur kha pee k bhi marna na hi hai.........toh dieting kyu karo mei..........aur agar moti ho bhi gayi........toh according to mom ladka nhi milega but......... there's a catch here........if the guy truly loves me and wants to marry me........he won't be bothered abt my size and shape........hai na.

Like this she kept on talking and talking. Manik was stunned to realise that actually Nandini can talk so much. Not that he was bored but he didn't knew that.

They had the food where Nandini shared the bill and they started their journey again. After crossing a small distance from dhaba, Nandini spoke being a bit careful.

Nan-our dinner at dhaba........plz kisi ko bolna mat..........Mukti ko bhi nhi.........coz agar usne bhai ko bol diya na.........galti se bhi.......toh bhai ghar pe bol denge aur muje bahut daat padegi..........they will start with their hygienic thing.

Manik laughed and then said.

Ma-mom ko bhi pata chala na abt it........woh bhi bahut daategi.

Nan-i don't know why they do that........mtlb mom dad kabhi akele hote hai toh they eat here.........but for me they are like no......you'll fall ill hygienic nhi hai and all.

Manik laughed and the continued talking like this.
