In abhimanyu's room

Both were tired and now just relaxing on sofa. Nandini's eyes were closed. Abhimanyu was observing her it was like Nandini has something inside her which she don't want to show anyone. Maybe she don't want people to see her weak side or it can be just an imagination of abhimanyu.

After few minutes Suddenly Nandini opens her eyes and notice that abhimanyu has kept his head in her lap and he was staring at her and Nandini starts patting his head. An smile crept on his lips on feeling his di's patting his head after so so long.
