At the middle of night Manik came back home. After parking the car he called Nandini. Nandini being in deep sleep woke up on the second call and seeing Manik calling she picked up the phone.     

Nan-Manik.......I m Cmg.     

Ma-yeah......I am waiting.     

Nandini quickly came down and on the lights, then she opened the door and Manik entered. Alcohol could be smelled from him though he wasn't drunk. Entering in Manik headed upstairs as he was very tired and Nandini followed him.    

Cmg up Manik fell on the bed so Nandini removed his shoes and placed it at one place. She came beside him and both slept hugging each other.      

A month passed by now and it has been 3 months Manan have started living together. Chacha Chachi have visited them a few times and Fab5 too visit them sometimes. Apart from that Manan's bond with D'Souza Aunty and uncle have grown too. Specially after the incident where Nandini was in pain and not feeling well.    

It was one fine day, Nandini was busy in college and Manik was chilling with cabir at their house. A courier was dropped for Nandini later on that day.     

At evening Nandini came back home and met Manik who was watching tv with cabir. Nandini was happy usually and after getting fresh she came down. The envelope caught her attention and picking that she asked Manik.      

Nan-yeh kya hai Manik.......?     

Manik glanced at her for once and the replied back focusing on the football match that he was watching.     

Ma-it's a courier on your name.......I don't know what's in it.     

Nandini shrugged and opened it with the smile on her face but once she removed the content in it all her smile and happiness faded away. Looking at it she said to Manik.      

Nan-it's Navya's wedding card.     

Hearing her low tone Manik looked at her and at the same time Nandini looked at him. Seeing her so gloomy Manik said.     

Ma-you want to go na.......jao.......    

Nandini was shocked coz Manik doesn't tolerate her being away from him and now this.      

Nan-are you sure?     

Ma-yeah yeah........    

Nan-think abt it again.......I am in no hurry.      

With that she left in kitchen to cook dinner. Later they had dinner with cabir and then came on bed on their sleeping time. Sitting on bed face to face Nandini asked Manik.      

Nan-are you serious of me going to Patna......?    

Manik holded her palms and said.     

Ma-she is your only friend and have invited you.......you should go.     

Nan-and how are you going to manage without me?    

Ma-arey mei kar lunga.......you don't worry....... just go and enjoy okay.      

With that he cupped her cheeks and kissed her forehead making her smile. The night ended and next day Manik booked a flight ticket for Nandini to Patna.      

Ma-Nandini........meine tumhari ticket book kr li hai........prepare yourself to go.......    

Nan-you can still think abt it okay......    

Manik just bobbed his head. Days passed on and it was confirm that Nandini is going. She started preparing to leave along with looking for Manik. Before 2 days of leaving she came to Radha tai who was busy washing crockery.     

Nan-Radha tai.......    

Rt-ji didi?     

Nan-woh meine na bhar jaa rhi ho.......kuch dino k liye lekin Manik yahin hai.......toh kya aap roz subhe khana bana degi uske liye.......6 din k liye........aap uske alag se paise le lena..... aur jo bhi sabzi aap layegi uska hisab bhi hum kr lenge........      

Rt-thik hai didi.........     

Than Nandini told her abt Manik's preferences and all. This was done. At night she told Manik a list of things to do in her absence. She also informed him that all his clothes are washed, ironed and kept in his cupboard at its place. He  will not face any problem until she returns.      

Everything was set by Nandini for Manik. Finally she flew to Patna to attend Navya's wedding. She met her and all while Manik was okay with her absence.     

It was night when he returned back home and found it empty. It was then he realised that Nandini was gone. He changed and came on bed as he had nothing to do.     

He twisted and turn to sleep peacefully or at least sleep but he failed. He missed Nandini badly and now he could actually feel her gone. With lots of efforts he finally slept.      

Next morning he woke up due to continuous ringing of bell. Being irritated he opened the door and saw Radha tai on the door. He let her in and went away to get ready for college. By the time he came down he saw his breakfast ready. Eating that he was abt to go when Radha tai asked him.     

Rt-bhaiya......aap aaj khane mei kya khana chahenge......?    

Manik frowned and asked.     

Ma-khana....?    

Rt-Haan.......woh Nan.......    

But Manik cut her in btwn.     

Ma-aap ko pakane ki zarurat nhi hai.......mei bhar kha lunga.     

Now Radha tai was confused. Manik had denied for food but Nandini had given her clear instructions to cook and go. She was thinking when Manik asked.      

Ma-aapko kitna time baki hai.......muje college jana hai......    

Rt-abhi toh saaf safai bhi baki hai.......   

Again she went on thinking so Manik said.      

Ma-thik hai mei jaa rha ho......aap darwaza thik se band kr dena jaane se pehle.     

Rt- ji thik hai.    

Manik left the house leaving Radha tai alone. Within 3 months Radha tai too have managed to gain trust on Manan. Already Manik had checked her background on appointing her and then her work so that's why he left her. After Manik left Radha tai called up Nandini who was busy with Navya.       

Nan-hello......    

Rt-didi........mei bol rhi ho.......    

Nan-Haan tai bolo na.......    

Rt-woh bhaiya ne toh khana banane se maana kr diya hai........ab mei kya karu....?    

Nan-koi baat nhi.......aap fir bhi khana bana lijiye..........aur fir usko fridge kr dena.......ek baar woh thanda ho jaye tab.       

Rt-thik hai.     

With this Radha tai cooked food for Manik and Manan were busy in their own work. Nandini had called up Manik and asked abt his morning, breakfast and health.      

The whole day passed in a jiffy with Manan charting through msgs. Manik had food outside with Fab4 and came back home late at night. Again after changing he came on bed and tried a lot to sleep but today he caught the reason for his sleepless night.      

He was hungry and he needed food but the time was so much that now no food would be available any where. Thinking lot he decided to call Nandini and cook something edible by taking instructions from her.     

Nan-hello........    

Ma-Nandini........muje bhuk lag rhi hai.......    

Nan-Haan toh fridge mei Khana pada hai...... eat that.     

Ma-what food?     

Nan-arey subhe Radha tai bana k gayi thi......     

Ma-no she didn't make it........meine unhe mana kr diya tha.........    

Nan-arey nhi she made it.......she had called me up and I told her to cook........fridge mei dekho khana pada hai......    

Ma-ek second hold karo......    

With that Manik got down from bed and came in the kitchen. He opened the fridge to find 2 cooking pan in it.     

Ma-Haan ismei hai.    

Nan-take that out......heat it and eat......roti bhi rakhi hai dibbe mei......    

Ma-gharam kaise karu?     

Nan-take our plate.......usmei tumhe kitna khana hai utna le lo........and microwave mei dal do to heat it.    

Ma-stay online while I heat the food.     

Nan-okay.     

Manik did as instructed and then sat down on the high stole in their kitchen and started eating his food.       

Nan-kaise hai?      

Ma-it's good.........but nothing and nobody could beat you........trust me tumhare jaisa khana koi nhi bana skta hai...     

With this he ate and talked with her. They talked like a couple who were in their courtship period. With this conversation they fell for each other once again.      

They talked until Manik fell asleep. Next day Manik woke up again due to ringing of bell and again Radha tai made breakfast for him. Today Manik didn't deny her from cooking.     

He was feeling extremely lazy to go out so he decided to call Fab4 at his place. Here they can jam and party as well. So he dropped a msg to them and was waiting.     

Radha tai left after completing her work and Fab4 too arrived. They were having their time after a very long time. On the other hand in Patna Nandini was very much upset with Navya's wedding. The whole situation over there was miserable.      

Not able to take it anymore, she ringed up Manik who was busy discussing abt a song with Fab4. On receiving her call Manik excused himself and came away. He sat on their staircase and picked up the phone.      

Ma-hello........   

Nandini replied with a very low feeling tone.     

Nan-hello........    

Manik was very much excited to talk to her but on hearing her low tone he asked.     

Ma-wats up.......you don't sound okay......     

Nan-I am not okay.......    

Ma-kya hova........    

Nan-woh Navya........his would be husband is 10 years elder to him.......aur woh log kitna dowry demand kr rhe hai........I just don't understand why she is destroying her life like this.........    

Ma-why like that.......I mean Navya is not handicap or bad looking........    

Nan-yahan sab ko pata hai that Navya had conceived once and had a miscarriage.......isliye woh log usse itna irrationally treat kr rhe hai.........meine usse kitna samjaya but woh maan hi nhi rhi hai........I can't see her ruining her life.......     

Ma-than what do you want to do.........bhaga k lekar aao usse yahan..........do you need help........I will arrange all the sources.      

Nan-bola meine usse......bhaag chalte hai yahan se.......par Navya has given up hope completely........woh kehti hai k pregnancy ki news se her father was almost on the verge of hospitalisation.......ab agar woh bhaag gayi toh he might not survive and she doesn't want that.......and she doesn't want to come Mumbai also.......kyu ki yahan usse Harshad and baby ki yaad aati hai.........     

Nandini was very much upset with all this and Manik too knew that with hope nobody can survive and Navya have just given up very easily. Now all that he could do was to cheer up Nandini so he said.      

Ma-woohoo.......THE GREAT NANDINI MURTHY........is suggesting a bride to run away........breaking news.      

Nan-it's so unfair na.......Navya after losing everything is being punished and Harshad who did all the crime is left free.      

Ma-Nandini.........if you will think so much negative then you will not enjoy there.......I know thing with Navya is not fair but then you know more than me that how this things are and how people treat each other.......tumne mujse zayda yeh sab dekha hai.......     

Nan-I know Manik.......I just hope her husband supports her all the way.      

Ma-don't worry Nandini.......tum hi kehti ho na that we can't be in everyone's life......so let everything be on God.......     

Nan-you are right.......    

Ma-now cheer up and Haan.......agar koi bhi help chahiye for running away with Navya call me......I will arrange everything for you until you reach safely to me......okay.      

Nan-okay.......anyways leave all this......what are you doing......college mei honge na abhi.     

Ma-nhi......aaj ghar pe hi ho.......bore ho rha tha toh I called up Fab4 over here.......we are jamming and having fun.      

Nan-it's good......enjoy and eat your food properly okay.      

Ma-yeah......you too take care of yourself okay.      

Nan-yeah......see you soon....bye.      

Ma-come soon.......I m missing you.......I love you.     

Nan-I love you too........ab mei rakho?    

Ma-yeah......bye.     

Nan-bye.
