In Manjeet Life Care Hospital

Nandini was sitting on her chair waiting desperately for a call..She was damn tensed plus annoyed..She was even biting her nails in worry..

" Beep " " Beep "

She smiled widely but then made a poker face and attended the call..

Nandini: Like really, you know I was waiting for your call, but still you have to make me worry..

Person: Relax, relax baby girl..I am sorry..I got stuck with Dad..He was discussing something related to our next project..

Nandini ( apologetic face ): Oh, I am sorry Mani..I was..

Manik ( smiled ): You were just nervous and tensed, so you wanted me to soothe it..right baby girl..

Nandini ( pouted ): If you knew then don't make fun of me..I was just in need of you..

Manik ( grinned ): God, baby..stop being cute or else I will come right away and kiss you in front of your colleges..

Nandini ( blushed ): Shut up Mani..

Manik ( chuckled ): Acha fine, now tell me..when are they coming..

Nandini ( sighed ): I don't know..Bhayyus said that today they will come to meet me but no idea about the timing..

Manik ( smiled ): You know, somebody have told me that she was really nervous before meeting her DJ and after meeting him she cried out in happiness and today the same girl is gonna meet her Papas who are yet another important part of her life but she is nervous again without knowing that she is gonna cry bucket of tears in happiness after some time..

She could just smile, she knew he is just motivating her by telling that nothing will go wrong apart from her cries in happiness which wouldn't be stopped by anyone as it was needed to make her live in peace..

Nandini ( smiled widely ): And you know something, she was crying in happiness because she was sitting on her Life's lap who was ready to do anything to make her smile, and maybe today will also be the same..

Manik smiled but then went silent after hearing the last part of sentence..

Manik ( stammered ): Uh Nandu, today..today I wont be..I won't be able to come..

Nandini ( sad ): What..but why..?

Manik ( lied ): Wo..I am a bit busy, I need to complete my work..

She sensed that he was lying cause if she can't lie to anyone then he can never lie in front of her..

Nandini ( sighed ): You know, I hate when you lie just for my comfort..No matter whatever happens but you promised to be with me to accomplish this dream of mine and you wouldn't break it..Bhayyus..hai na..

Manik just closed his eyes and leaned on to his chair with a hand on his eyes pressing them..

Manik ( sighed ): Nandu..just listen first, okay..( she just hmmed )..Your Bhayyus are damn overprotective for you and it really used to annoy me sometimes..but whenever I compare you guys with me and Mukti, I could just understand the depth of Love and care they have for you..I was really mad at them yesterday night but when I thought about it today, I understood why they did it, they don't want me to be that comfort which you get after getting worked up..they want it to be themselves, they want to be your comfort, I don't want to snatch it baby..I will be with you, as per my promise but I won't fulfill my promise by snatching your brothers' happiness, which is you..

Nandini was listening to him with all her ears and when he finished it she was in tears, tears of happiness, tears of satisfaction that she chose the right man for her and for her family..

Nandu ( in tears ): You know something Mani, when I was small I used to read the fairy tales and believe in them like how a prince charming comes in horse only to get his girl and they both ride it together, but when I grew up I found them comical, like such princes won't be there, no guys of this century will be as sweet, humble and as love able like them but..you just proved me wrong..you really are the one whom I always wished to be with..forever..hamesha..

His smile was just increasing second by second. He knew now that even if he failed to show his love towards her, she will never judge him, she will know that he loves her more than anyone in this world..

Manik ( smiled ): And I wouldn't let anyone to break this faith of yours in me..We will always be together..forever..hamesha..

She could just smile in happiness..Their talks were broken when she heard a knock at the door..

Nandini ( tensed ): Mani, lagtha hai wo aa chuke hai..

Manik ( sighed ): Stop getting tensed..gonna rock it..

Nandini ( smiled ): I will, you will always be with me..

Manik ( smiled ): Forever..All the best..!!

Nandini ( smiled ): I will need it..

" Bye "

After disconnecting the call, she took a deep breathe..

Nandu: Nandu..tu fikar math kar..tere saath sab hai..tere Bhayyus aur Mani..tumhe harne nahi denge..Aur Appa, Chote Papa and Mums bhi hain..you are a fight..so now, fight for your family..Daadi ki Rab ji..mere sath rehna..

" Yes, come in "

She indulged herself in the laptop, so that the person enters will see only her back and think that she is working..

Person: Doctor Murthy..This is Sooraj Murthy..

Nandini bit her lips and took a deep breathe and started her plan..She got up from her chair with a jerk but didn't turn..

Nandini: Oh sir, I am so sorry..I thought it was some patient.. Just give me a sec sir..let me just switch it off..Ahh..done..

She then turned towards them with a smile on her face..But the people with Sooraj got a mini heart attack after seeing her and they whispered only one word.." Maa "

While Nandini couldn't express her happiness after seeing her Papas for the first time in her life but she controlled herself and faked a surprised face..

Nandini: Oh, you weren't alone..I am so sorry I failed to notice you before..

Sooraj ( composed himself ): Ahh, its fine Doctor Murthy..Actually, they are here to see you..

Nandini ( acted ): Me..oh..How can I help you sir..?

Sooraj was trying himself not to laugh after seeing how his daughter was acting this boldly.." Wah meri sherni, tune tho mere dil phirse jeeth liya " thought Sooraj..

Sooraj: Um, they are here for another inspection, they are actually my brothers..

Nandini ( fake worry ): Oh, another inspection..I am sorry sir, did I do something wrong..I mean, yesterday your Dad, Mr. Yashjeet Murthy told me that there is no problem in my service and now..is everything fine..?

Sooraj: Of course it is fine..Dad was jsut praising you yesterday, which forced them to meet you..right Bhayya..

Sooraj turned to their brothers who were still staring at Nandini in shock..They couldn't believe their own eyes..

Dharmendhar's POV

Maa..Maa..only that word was coming out of my mouth..Is it real..she is looking like Maa..no she is just like Maa..Maa's eyes, her nose, her lips, her chin, her forehead..Aiyappa..everything is same..Is it possible for someone to look like a xerox copy of someone and that too if the person has passed away years back..I don't know..Appa was right..there is something special in her..The way she talks just remind me of Maa..even she was like this when she talks to some strangers..extremely polite but mischief will be there in her eyes which I could see in this girl too..Who is she..?

End of Dharmendhr's POV

Dayavan't POV

No, this can't be possible..Maa has passed away when we were small then how can she stand in front of us..And maa never wore modern dress..Arey she was a punjabi kudi, then how can she wear something like that..Then who is she..She looks like a second version of Manjeet Murthy..Sooraj was like, its 21st century, arey but do the 21st century people carry faces which was own by someone who used to live in the previous years or what..But why does she look so similar, I mean..the way she talks..it just reminds of Maa..not just by appearance but even her attitude is like Maa..sweet yet notorious..that's how Appa addresses Maa..Who is she..?

End of Dayavant's POV

Sooraj nudged Dayavant and Dharmedhr as he was standing in the middle and they came out of their land and again looked at Nandini who was smiling at them which made them smile too..

Dharmendhr ( smiled ): Hello Miss..?

He wanted to hear her name from her..

Nandini ( smiled ): Nandini..Nandini Murthy..

They both could only smile at her..It was the same name which their mother always wanted to put for her baby if she ever get to give birth to a daughter but she was blessed with only sons, she has asked her sons to keep that name for any of their child if they had a daughter, they would have followed it but none of them were blessed with a baby girl except Shekhar which was not known to the Murthys..

Dayavant: So you are Nandini..Appa was speaking a lot about you..

Nandini ( smiled ): He seems to be a very sweet person, I really like him but I didn't know that he was impressed by me..

Dharmendhr ( smiled ): He was, in fact a lot..Between..you are new to India..right..?

Nandini ( nodded ): Yes, I am new to India..I was born and brought up in London..

Dayavant ( nodded ): Oh, but why so..? Don't you like India..?

Nandini ( smiled ): Nothing like that Mr. Murthy, its just my parents were in London since they got married, so I stayed there but I wanted to visit India as its my parents' birth place..They have completed their studies too here, so I was just curious to know about this country..

They nodded at her but at the same time Dayavant felt bad when he addressed him Mr. Murthy..

Dharmendhr ( curiously ): So, who are your parents..? You didn't give their name in the register..

Nandini ( bit her lips ): Uh, actually I don't want the world to know that I am my father's daughter..

Dayavant: What do you mean..?

Nandini ( smiled ): My father is a famous person of London, so I wanted to hide his name from this world. If someone gets to know then they will befriend me in order to get to him..Moreover, his name should be hidden to achieve my dream..

Dharmendhr ( raised his eyebrow ): Dream..?

Nandini: Well, every person got a dream ad so do I..career is one among them..

Dharmendhr ( curiously ): So, are you going to settle in India that you have joined our hospital to work..?

Nandini ( smiled ): Oh yes, We have already settled in India..

Dayavant: So, what does your Dad do..?

Nandini ( sorry face ): I am sorry, My dad doesn't let the world know about himself..If I tell about his work then he will be upset with me..Anyway, he is not any underworld Don..I promise..

Dayavant and Dharmendhr laughed at it while Sooraj was smiling seeing how his daughter managing his brothers..

Dharmendhr: You are a sweet yet a tough doll..

Nandini: Thank you Mr. Murthy..

Sooraj: Um, bhayya..you both have a meeting..

Dayavant ( smiled ): Oh, we just forgot..she really knows to make us forget business..

Nandini ( concerned ): I am sorry, because of me..

Dharmendhr ( immediately nodded in No ): No beta..we always wanted to forget business so that we could be in peace and you just did it..Maybe we should thank you for it..

Nandini smiled widely at it..

Dayavant( smiled ): Why don't you visit our home once in a while..Appa would be so happy to meet you..

Nandini got tensed, she didn't expect such a sudden invitation..She vowed to herself that no matter what, she will step into her DJ 's house once he forgives her Appa and accepts her Mumma, she wanted to enter that home being the grand daughter of that house, which should be accepted by her DJ..

Nandini ( lied ): Uh, actually..Since I am new to this country, my brothers are so over protective for me that they won't send me to anywhere alone, except work place..

Dharmendhr: You have brothers too.

Nandini ( smiled ): Oh yes, I have..in fact I have only brothers as siblings..

Dayavant ( smiled ): Oh good, but brothers..how many..

Nandini ( coolly ): 8..

" what "

Nandini ( awkwardly ): Um yeah, why..what happened sir..?

Dharmendhr ( shocked ): You have 8 brothers..?

Dayavant ( shocked ): We have never heard it before..

Nandini ( smiled ): Oh, I am the youngest in my family..but being the youngest make you the most pampered one..

Dharmendhr ( thought about Shekhar ): Of course, he was the most pampered..

Soroaj and Dayavant looked at Dharmendhr in shock and he just looked here and there while Nandini knew whom this ' he ' was and she got happy thinking that her Appa still holds a special place in his home..

Dharmendhr: Uh, lets leave..Bhayya..

Dayavant: Okay..beta..we are leaving..we will meet soon..

Nandini ( smiled ): Sure..

She bent and touched their feet making them shock too..

Nandini ( smiled ): I was just following my mother..have a good day Sirs..

They smiled genuinely and blessed her..ThEY moved to the door but Dharmendhr turned back and smiled at her..

Dharmendhr: Its Uncles..not Mr. Murthy or not Sirs..i hope you will follow it..

Saying this he went away while Nandini stood there in shock..She couldn't believe that she made a place in their heart, especially the most toughest Mr. Dharmendhr Murthy's heart..

Nandini ( smiled ): Of course I will follow it..Cause I love you..Dad and Papa..
