Nawabs and Ansaris are rivals from generations, they are rivals for land, which led to killing, then on things went down fall to stage that rivalry became only thing left in village.

After four generations still rivalry is continuing. Now Nawabs are doing business in different states, we're as Ansaris are doing business in their state. Children are grown up in this generation. All are in prime age.

Nandini is daughter of Jaamil Ansari, she lost her mother when she is just seven, her father abounded her and married again, she is been living in big house unnoticed and unrecognised. Jaamil got two more daughters and three sons with new wife he pampers them a lot.

Jaamil has his own factory, day by day his factory is growing like heap, profits made him rich, he gives credit to his new wife, so he loves her to moon. She hates Nandini existence, it reminds her about his first wife so she hates her a lot but don't abuse or bully her, Nandini is provided with everything like her own room, clothes for every occasion, education like all children, servants to work for her, but no love or care is been taken, no one speaks to her if it's not important. When she is sick no one comes and asks her well being only treatment is been given. This is how her life is. She accepted it long back. Being in big family with all chachus and lots of kids things are not overbearing, she is ok with it but sometimes she craves for father love which she watches all time.

Manik Ahmed Nawab is only son to Ahmed, he is having five sisters, almost all are her his favourites. Ahmed works as senior engineer in government office, he has so much name and fame in city. His wife Anna is school teacher. They love children a lot.  Nawabs prefer education, so they made all children in house  study well, Anna is one the incharge for it. Nawabs are two brothers three sisters and all live near by. Brother stay in one house. So children are very close to each other.

Today everyone in Nawab family are going to their home town for Eid, this year all children want to spend time in their heirloom house, they want to enjoy a lot they planned a lot too.

Coming to Jaipur all cousins planned on Eid shopping, Manik is forced to tag along, he too started buying things for his room, for himself. He loves shoes he is obsessed is correct. So he came to puma, while he is selecting, a perfume hit his nostrils, it felt so alluring, he turned to see who it is and found a girl holding a pair of shoe walking to counter. She is short, long hair, dressed in traditional suit, head covered but not hijab, he want to see her face but she left soon, Manik felt disappointed.

Manik roamed whole mall, he bought gifts for everyone in family, when he is done he came down stood near car waiting for everyone to return, he is watching road and public, his eyes caught a girl who is crossing road with out realising that she is in wrong direction. Manik ran and took the girl away before a Scotty, she cooed in his arms like bird, shivering in fear, her perfume realised him that she is same girl, "you are ok now! And why the hell didn't pay attention to road while walking?" He scolded like parent. He didn't feel like stranger to him.
"I am sorry" she came out of his grip softly.
"Are you fine? Let me get you a drink"
"No no I am on roza"
"Ooo! Sit a bit in car till your nerve calm down" he opened his car door. She sat as she is dizzy and her body is still shivering. Since morning she is in bad mood as she is missing her father a lot. She scored topper in college, she want to hear an appreciation from her father but he just ignored when she gave him score card saying he got from college. He didn't even looked at her properly. His berukhi gave her anger and immense disappointment for first time. She is feeling very lonely.

Manik watched her, she is thinking something. "Can I drop you?"
"No my house in near by thank you, kudaffiz" she greeted while getting out of car Manik opened door "sure? I don't think it's good idea"
"No thank you, and it's not appropriate to go home with stranger, I can't stain mine and yours reputation. Sorry for being rude. Thank you for saving me, dua mai yaad rakungi aap ko" she did salam and started walking
"Manik is my name" he screamed
She turned smiled and walked away. Manik stood watching her going. He is bit worried but her words are true so he stood in his roots.

It's Eid, Nawab family came across Ansari family, they looked at each other and turned away, walked to masjid. Prayers happened, then all men were chit chatting. Suddenly a man said "how many generations you people fight why don't you patch up?"
"There should be a reason for patch up" said Manik father.
"Why don't you guys give your children to each other, all are grown up now marry them" the man spoke
Ansari stood calm he didn't deny nor accepted
"I have a son I am ok" said Nawab
Manik turned to his father in shock, he want to argue but this is not place
"What do you say Ansari?" The man asked
"I am ok my elder daughter Nandini just completed her studies" he spoke while thinking.
Manik is now furious, "it will be better if we ask her permission first" he said so that they may realise the reality
"No need she is ok with whoever I select" Ansari said with attitude. All of sudden marriage talks filled the mahool, one by one everything about marriage is discussed, marriage is settled in three days nikaah will happen. Manik is angry. Everyone ignored him totally no one asked his interest nor felt important.

When they reached home Manik asked his father "how could you do this abbu? You made a girl life miserable do you even realise? What if she is not my type and ignore her totally? What if she don't like me? What if she loves someone else? What if it was your daughter would you do same?"
"You or your sisters everything is equally risky and I took risk to resolve generations back rivalry"
"No abbu! Never" he took deep breath! "Abbu if I am in bad marriage I will keep myself away from home all time avoiding her, but what about she? Can she avoid me? She has to face kitchen politics, everyone's looks her being Ansari makes her suspicious, me dealing with my temper and anger everything is different abbu and you can't just walk on lady. About rivalry, I appreciate but this is not the way"
"Things happened Manik now our one No will worsen things most, I know you, and if at all problems arrives we will try to sort out them peacefully. My question is will accept this nikaah?"
"Abbu I am ok as I never got interested in anyone but I need to know her answer first"
"Ok we will talk about this" his father answered thinking.

Nikaah preparations are going on in rush, whole nawab family is excited as it's first marriage in this generation. All elders are very much tensed as little difference can bring big fight back.

Here Nandini father informed her about her Nikaah! She is shocked she never thought about it. She just walked to her room, holding her mother photo she sat on floor. Her Daddi came in
"Back then being a mother I was selfish and snatched your abbu from you, not realising that you lost your ammi already I just want my son happiness, I paid your happiness. Now I know my sin bachi! Forgive me. Why he is staying away from you I don't know, tried many times to talk to him but he just walks away. Not this time, I will appose this marriage"
"No Daddi ammi! Abbu said my name for first time, he wants something from me he recognised me that is more than enough"
"Bachi it's all my fault I am sorry"
"No Daddi ammi I am the one to be blamed I could never grasp abbu attention not even for once it's my fault"
"No bachi it's his sin. He is ignoring you"
"May be or not I don't know. Daddi ammi did abbu love ammi same as he love chachi?"
"Yes we all felt he may die with your ammi, that is why I forced him to marry again"
"Did he ever loved me ?" Her voice shivered tears rolled down
"Yes when you born he cried with happiness"
Nandini held his Daddi and cried a lot why she too don't know.
Nandini slept after crying. Daddi left her room.

Jaamil stood in balcony alone, his eyes are red, his fist tightened. His life is never easy for him, he loved his wife a lot, she left him in very tender age leaving him alone, he tried to observe the truth but his ammi forcefully got him to marry again, on the very first day his new wife demanded to abound his daughter. "I will never harm her or let anything bad happen to her, just one condition you ignore her. I will provide her everything but you caring her will bring troubles among us and even among her and me so better draw a line between you both"
"Why? She is just kid and you married me knowing about her"
"Only on this condition, look Jaamil I promise I will never let her suffer"
Having no choice he agreed. She too never did anything out of line, but Nandini being ignored always pained him a lot. He felt he deceived his wife but he knows if he pressure this topic may lead to disaster. His silence gave pain to his daughter. Today her shivering voice gave him deep scare in heart. "I love bachi more than anyone in this world" he said to himself.
He agreed to this marriage hoping that after marriage he can show his love to her, he is eager to spend his time with her. He is counting days from years for this time. About Manik, Jaamil knows him very well, he enquired about him and felt happy that he is good person. So he is hoping a lot from this marriage desperately.

Jaamil kept blood in this nikaah, his wife tried to talk but he answered her "after four generations two family are uniting if anything goes wrong blood will flow, I will be the first one to be killed on spot if you want that then your wish I will sit aside and wait for my own death"
"Jaamil! How You can say such words! Ok I will be patient this one time for you. But"
"No buts zubida! We should be perfect parents for her for life time better act accordingly" he said in firm voice and left.

Nikaah happened. Both are been taken to room, whole room is decorated a big mirror is placed on floor. Manik came in, Nandini who is standing their still, looked at him, then mirror, he lifted his sarra, and looked down, someone lifted hers too, both eyes meet and both looked shocked. Manik smile grew big. 

All rituals completed ruksati is done too. Nandini didn't cry as she has no one cry for except Daddi, she hugged and gave her a box. Nandini refused but she didn't listen.

Manik held Nandini hand. He helped to walk to car, he opened car door and made her sit properly, he bud bye to everyone and sat besides Nandini. Car drive is very short it's just five mins away but Nawabs welcomed their bahu with Bharath, they danced wild, Nandini watched them with big smile.
"I never dreamed that you will be mine one day" Manik said with big smile. "I too don't know" she smiled
"From now on your perfume smell remains in my heart and life always"
"Perfume?" She asked in surprise
"Yes I love your perfume, today because of flowers I am unable to smell but I like your perfume"
"It's just Chandan and rose mix which I apply on my body daily not any perfume"
"Really?"
"Yes I am allergic to perfumes they gives me rashes"
"O my god! What more are not be used?"
"I can't eat fish I don't know how to eat fish, I like coffee not tea"
"I will help with fish don't worry, about coffee I will remember, and about me I am obsessed with gym, shoes, bikes, this is our new car which I bought for you specially, I love your smile, tea I prefer, about allergies I have none. You are beautiful"
She blushed. He blushed too seeing her shy.

All cousins of Manik surrounded Nandini, they introduced themselves, danced with her, made her laugh. With lots of love and pampering she is been taken inside house. Nandini is dead tired.
"You get freshen up and take rest no need to worry about getting up unless you feel good sleep no one will disturb you." Manik mother said after showing her her room.
Manik came in "Manik I kept your belongings in my room sleep with Imtiaz today, don't disturb her more come soon" she patted her son and left.
"I want to give you this" Manik gave her small packet
Nandini took it and opened its small bracelet. "It's beautiful thank you"
"Shukar hai! You liked it. Welcome home Nandini" he smile she too did "good night take good rest"
"You too"
"I tho lost sleep seeing this beautiful but I will try to" she dropped her head with shy. Manik smiled left the room. Nandini slept like baby.

Next day is beautiful day for Nawabs everyone are doing their best to make Nandini comfortable at house, they pampered a lot, she felt awkward but moved by their gesture. She loved the attention which she is getting, as she craves for it for life time. She got overwhelmed.

Night is the night Manik waiting for, he himself decorated his room, he got ready in simple white kurta, he is desperate. Here Nandini is been made ready, Manik mother Shabana gave her some jewellery, she herself added them to her neck.
"Bachi! You have all rights to ask for time, no need to feel pressured, remember ammi is always with you. Never do anything which your heart doesn't give you permission. Life is not just this, life is you, your happiness, your wishes. Be happy" she kissed her forehead
"Thank you for giving me strength ammi" she with tears smiled. "Go speak to him what your heartfelt he can wait"
"No ammi he is the one I think"
"Really?" She asked with broad smile
"Yes" Nandini blushed.

Nandini came to room, found all the cousins bargaining with Manik, while playing cards in room.
"Bhabhi sit let's play one game" one of the brother made her sit besides him and gave her his cards.

Manik had enough. "Ok Ok take whatever you want"
All screamed in high pitch "bhabhi you are lucky for all of us"
"Don't forget this day will repeat in your life too and I will be the one to make it hell revenge is bitch bhai loog! I will have it"
"Tab ka tab dekhanga! Today is your turn to get it bite, chal bacho! Let us go" all started to go out wishing the couple all the best. Nandini had broad smile. She loved them all instantly.

"Don't smile at them they all are shaitaan they will make you get headache"
"Still they all are cute! I love them all"
"What about me? Don't you love me?"
Nandini looked at him then looked down in shy "I like you" she blushed
Manik smiled "just like?"
"Just like..., but we can work on it"
He laughed "we will and I will too" he locked the door came to her and hugged her tight. She felt little tensed "are you comfortable? Do you need time?"
She nodded no. He kissed her head.
"When I saw in mall I was gone case I don't know I was been this smitten by you. Allah sukar hai! He gave me you" she relaxed in his arms.

Manik and Nandini talked a lot, then prayed, "I can't wait more shall we?" He asked she turned away in shy, Manik hugged her from back. Touching her with somany emotions. She accepted him. He pampers her well, she submitted herself totally. It's beautiful moment for them. Couple slept naked in each other arms tired.

Next day morning couple got so much teasing from all, they blushed like hell. Everyone were laughing smiling happily. Nandini felt heaven. She thanked Allah for granting her wish true. She all her life wanted this and now she got it.

After a week Nawabs are returning back to city. Jaamil came with family. Seeing his daughter smiling and talking to everyone Jaamil felt so happy, all her cousins too felt odd but they too mingled with everyone easily.

"Bhaijaan! Nando is motherless child, she never been into any responsibilities if she does any mistake forgive her"
"She is now my daughter Jaamil, don't forget that and daughters never do mistakes they are to be pampered and be ziddi, she will be too. If my Nalayak does anything I will try to forgive him for her sake" Nawab said in serious tone.
Jaamil laughter happily after years. "Shukriya you made my life" he hugged him in happiness.

While bidding bye to everyone Jaamil gave Nandini a box, "Nando! This is your ammi ki amanath, now you are grown up sambhal ise. Beti! Never suppress your wishes, demand them. I will visit you frequently, I am just one call away"
"Abbu" she cried like a kid. He hugged her tight to his heart "Don't cry be happy so much happy that I should feel your happiness not your silence" he kissed her forehead and gave her to Manik
"She is always silent never questions nor asks anything find her heartfelt and fulfil it, I am giving you my jigger, beware I can't see gloominess in her eyes."
"Never abbu! I will protect her" Manik promised.
They all started to go to city. Whole journey men took care of women like they are princess which amazed Nandini a lot. A her house men respect women but this chivalry is which she never knew about, Manik came to her side and asked "do you need to use washroom? It's been while we are driving, here at petrol bunk we have toilets"
"Yes I need to go" he opened car door, she got down, he took her mobile and held her hand and led her to washroom, "go I am here, if u have any problem with door or anything just shout my name ok?"
"Ok I can take care of myself don't worry" she smiled and left. When she return she found Manik father holding his wife mobile and bag standing along with Manik. She felt amused. Meanwhile all other girls came brothers are holding their things. She felt great. 

After reaching everyone are dead tired they ordered food ate and slept. Next morning Nandini woke up and made tea and coffee to everyone, they all took the cup and blessed her happiness. Manik took his cup made her sit besides him and gave her coffee cup. She smiled and took it. She loved the nature of people here. They are plain and simple.

Days passed Nandini joined her post graduation. Everyone at house rushes to their works and return in the evening, all laugh together, make pranks on each other. Everyday is eventful. Nandini mingled in house very soon.

Jaamil came to city, he bought so many gifts to everyone in Nandini house. He bought her favourite sweets some jewellery and tickets for honeymoon. He came to her house. Everyone are laughing and Nandini is running after a boy, he is shouting "bhabhi! You can't catch me" she is running after him "rekhiya" she almost catch him, Manik held Nandini tight in arms she is struggling "baby! You will be tired he is playing with you." "Manik he said I look like chicken"
"Let me see?" He held her face made her see here and there "Arey Nalayak dekh she looks like beautiful chicken can't you say that? Batameez" Manik scolded. All laughed Nandini is hitting Manik
Jaamil felt heaven, he called Nandini "Nando!" He called her. Everyone turned to him. All greeted him and made him sit, elders came talked to him. Nandini bought some snacks and tea. Jaamil took them "bachi! Kush raho! Allah kisi ki Nazar na lagayi" he prayed "take them in these are for you guys"he gave packet she hesitated "I don't need them abbu you gave me lot already"
"It's for my happiness take in" Manik held her hand she smiled and took in.

When dinner completed, Jaamil came to Nandini "how are you Nando?"
"Good abbu how are you?" She asked in awkward tone
"Sit Nando! Let me tell you something today, I love you more than anything in my life, you are your ammi are in my heart. All these years because of my second wife I stood away from you, my silence was the cost for family peace. I paid all these years now I am free, nothing is going to be in our way, seeing you fighting laughing and free spirit I am feeling thrilled. I won't ask you are you happy? I know you are happy, I bless you Nando! Don't ever forget abbu loves you to moon"
She hugged him and cried like child.

Manik mother who is watching them from long time got tears too. When Manik saw Nandini crying he walked to her but his mother stopped him and explained everything. Manik is shocked. He understood why Nandini is not that open to him. Even though she is happy, he always feel that she is rigid.

Nandini came to room with big smile, Manik hugged her tight. "I missed you"
"Today is the best day of life abbu said he loves me whole seven times." She happily jumping
Manik looked at her with adoration.

Months passed Jaamil business started going down, whole family is in worries. Daddi said "bachi gayi pura daulat chala gaya"
Jaamil looked at his mother in surprise, it's true and he thought is whole life that his second wife was luck charm for him. He regretted more.
Arzoo Jaamil wife came "things are not for her, and will be for her, everything is ours and even luck too is ours"
"Why do you hate her so much Arzoo?" Daddi asked her bahu
"She reminds me of her ammi, because of her Jaamil never loves me"
"You know that still you married her why?"
"I thought he will love me same as he did before but he always loves her even after these many years, he still takes her name in prayers"
"She lives in my mind heart and soul what can I do? That doesn't mean I neglected you? I always gave you everything"
"But not love" she gritted teeth
"Love? What good happened if I love? I loved Shabnam still loves, she left me alone, I love Nando what did I do? I neglected her for decades stil you think love gives anything good, fool if you had accepted Nando and took her into your wings with love I would have loved you more than Shabnam, but you choose materialistic love what can I do?" Jaamil said with berukhi
"Arzoo! Men are just wild stone we need them to make sculptures, you made pot and dreamt of flower, still you have time think again" Daddi said with worry. Arzoo stood silent.

Within six months whole industry collapsed, Jaamil is almost bankrupt, Manik came to him
"Abbu when you are this troubled why didn't to tell us?" He demanded.
"Sit Manik miya! Have some tea"
"I will and I know what I have to do" Manik said in angry. Manik paid all debts, he stopped the loan repayments, he opened industry with good will talked to workers, made things workout. Jaamil felt ashamed but Manik made him realise that he too is his son. Both decided to keep this away from Nandini as they don't want to make her sad and worried.
"I think you should tell her Jaamil" Arzoo
"What?" He asked in anger
"Yes when she knows about this she feel betrayed and deceived she will broke down, tell her now she may be worried but she will trust you for ever" Arzoo explained
Manik too felt correct. Jaamil called Nandini explained everything. She cried but she felt proud that her husband helped her father.

After struggling for year finally Jaamil started getting profits, whole one year Nandini family helped him a lot. Once rival family now became best relatives cum friends. Arzoo changed a lot she understood her mistake. Nandini started calling her ammi.

When couple are in their room Nandini said "if it was not you I would have never been known what happiness is, you made me learn happiness, forgiveness and let life live simple and happy. You always stood silent by side like pillar I am proud that I am your wife Manik, I love this family a lot, but you? I love you Manik hamesha" she hugged him.
"I too love you a lot, and you deserve lot more" he kissed her forehead. Couple spend best time

Family makes us what we are today, little things make lots of difference in life, if we maintain smile and simple open minded relationships we always enjoy life. Nandini experienced it.
