"Absence makes the heart grow fonder, but it sure makes the rest of you lonely."

Distance is not only an eight letters word but also most important part of our life. For couples distance act as a bridge.This bridge holds the connection between this two souls and try to keep intact with each other. The formation of this bridge is based on the emotional attachment towards each other along with the distance. Distance is the main ingredient to make someone realize that if something or more specifically that person is not there then we feel an empty space. A kind of void in our life for an example in our day to day life, if suppose for few days our mother went to some where out of station. We feel so happy that now no one will restrict me or instruct me, but as time passes we start feeling that one of the most important part of our life is missing and that empty space make more noise in our heart and mind.

Relatable isn't it?

Life is so strange or we can say ironic as because we take those people for granted who are the most important person of our life. We take them so casually that we don't realize there importance in our life until they left us. Now a days we give reasons to that special person to leave us, to give us our so called Space, or we want a relief from those innumerous take care instructions.We will never understand that these are the people who actually care for us, love us the most. These special dear one's never keep there EGO first in compare of relationship. But what we do in return? We smash there love, care & trust with our poisonous vermont words.

"Sometimes unpleasant things are required to bring good things"

What do you think about this proverb? May be somewhere down the line it's correct. As because sometimes we do need to apply reverse psychology to do things in a correct way. We had seen this in case of Abhimanyu and Mukti. If you have remember Abhimanyu has explain his point of view through an example. (please refer to chapter 15) most of the time we say destiny play games with us but no sometimes our own family play with our emotions, feelings, care, love and most importantly our trust.

Nandini and aparna was hurt not with the fact that dhruv loves Aliya or vice versa. But the way they betrayed them was the worst part. Aparna and Nandini's life used to revolve around aliya. They have work hard to give her everything possible good education, manners, ethics, love, care and most importantly family support which was incomplete as because Aparna's husband was dead in a accident. The day Aliya was born he was very happy while coming back to home with sweets he met with an truck and he had died on the spot. Because of this amms used to dislike Aliya, amms thinks that Aliya was the soul reason because of which his elder son is dead. Even though amms used to dislike Aliya then too aparna and Nandini used to manage everytime.

Nandini along with seshans come to her flat to stay for day or two, it was not still fix as because Aparna wants Nandini bto stay more but Nandini was kind of confused as because her mind do say to stay her but her heart wants to go back to Manik and sort out things between them. As soon as they reach to house amms says to everyone to go to their and rest and ask Nandini to come after changing.

Nandini soon changes into comfortable night suit and goes to amms room.

Amms room.

Amms was sitting on bed after changing into plain cotton saree as her night wear. Amms was waiting for Nandini to come and soon she was here.

Nandini Knocks on the door.

Amms smiles : arey nandu beta aa jaa.

Nandini comes inside and amms ask her to sit beside her.

Amms asked being concern :- Nandini beta tu Khush hai na waha?

Nandini was taken a back that why her amms is asking such questions?

Nandini confusedly :- amms aap yeh kesa sawal hai?

Amms smiling :- beta sawal ke badle me sawal nahi jawab dete hai.

Nandini :- amms me bilkul Khush hu mujhe Kya hoga?

Amms :- beta jab tu bohat choti thi tabse jaanti hu. Tu kab Khush hoti hai aur kab udas.

Nandini :- amms me Sach me bohat Khush hu.

Amms asks :- Nandini agar tu Khush hai toh Teri Khushi Tere aankho me Kyu nahi hai? Tu kab apni problem share karna sikhegi Kanna? Koi baat hai toh share kar. Kabtak khud se yuhi ladti rahegi.

Nandini gets up and stands near a window and reply

Nandini try to explain :- amms problem share Karne se sirf aur sirf tension badhta hai aur kuch nahi aur rahi baat Meri Khushi ki toh amms me Sach me bohat Khush hu waha mom hai, dad hai joh mujhe apni beti mante hai. Unlogo ne kabhi mujhe Mukti se Kam nahi samjha. Har ek pal Mera dyan rakte hai aur Mukti toh bilkul Meri apni choti behen jesi hai chulbuli. Ekdum bacho jesi hai, woh to mujhe har time shopping pe le Jana, baate karna usse bohat pasand hai. cabir bhi bohat acha hai amms woh toh mujhe apni bohat achi dost samjhta hai infact woh mujhe fab5 ka hissa bhi manta hai. Yeh log na amms mujhse bohat Pyaar karte hai.

Amms was observing Nandini and listening to all her talks. Amms didn't miss the she was mentioning her In-laws as her mom dad. But still there was one thing missing rather saying a most special person is Miss in her talks that is Manik her thoughts towards her husband was not there. Amms gets up from bed goes towards Nandini and stands beside her.

Amms asked :- aur Manik? wo woh kesa hai Nandini. Tum dono ke darmiya sab theek hai?

Nandini faintly smiles :- amms Sach kahu toh mujhe khud nahi pata hum dono ke beech kuch hai bhi ya nahi. Hum dono saath toh hai magar ek dusre se bohat Durr bhi. Amms manik mujhe se Pyaar karte hai lekin me, me kese phir se wohi galti karu jiske liye Amma ne Kya kuch nahi Saha. Amms me kese aage badhu mujhe nahi samjh aa raha har ek Naya kadam mujhe mere past ki yaad dilata hai.

Amms cups her face and wipes her tear with thumbs :- Nandini beta rone se kisi bhi problem ka solution nahi milega. Tujhe Kya lagta hai Manik dhruv jesa hai? Mujhe nahi lagta Kyu ki beta usne humhe manaya sirf Tere liye ki hum Teri Shaadi dekh sake. Manik nahi hota toh shayad aaj me bhi nahi hoti. Tujhe ek muaka khud ko Dena chahiye beta jaruri nahi hai jo phele hua wahi sab phir se ho. Aur tujhe toh Khush hona chahiye ki tujhe kitna Pyaar Karne Wala pati mila hai Jo Tere liye kya kuch kar sakta hai.

Nandini try to say :- lekin amms...

Amms try to convince nandini :- lekin Kya Nandini usne tujhe har khushi Dena ka waada Kiya hai aur woh nibha bhi Raha hai. Yeh Jo Shaadi ka bandhan hota hai na beta bohat ahem hissa hota hai Zindagi ka tumhe Kya lagta hai yeh saath vachan koi khel hai? Nahi beta yeh Zindagi bhar ka saath hota hai. Tum dono ek dusre se jud chuke ho. Beta agar woh itni koshish kar Raha hai toh tu bhi kar me yeh nahi keh rahi ki tujhe ek din me usse Pyaar karna hai lekin itna intezar bhi mat karvana ki baad me tujhe hi pachtana padhe. Acha chal ab bohat der ho gayi chal soja.

Amms cups Nandini's face and give her a forehead kiss and bless her. Nandini left from amms room and goes to her room.

Nandini's room

Nandini get inside her room and sits on the bed while taking support from head board keeping her eyes closed and thinking something.

Nandini's POV.
Life me pheli baar Amma ke baad kisi me Meri itni fikar ki hai, Meri responsibility li hai shyad ayiappa ko mujh par taras aa gaya. Lekin kyun? Kya pata yeh khushiya mere naseeb ki hai bhi ya nahi. Jab jab mene kisi cheeze ki apni Khushi Mana woh sab toh chala jata hai. Me Kya karu ayiappa me Kyu itni bebas ho jaati hu Kyu Manik ke related ek bhi cheeze ka jawab nahi hota mere pass. Kyun ayiappa please mujhe aur confuse na kare please help me.

Here Nandini was busy in her whole world and Didn't realize that someone is waiting for her to open the door. It was third time when Abhimanyu knock on her door little loudly. Hearing this Nandini open her door and let Abhimanyu in, both sit together on the bed.

Abhimanyu :- sorry di I hope Mene aapko disturb toh nahi kiya na?

Nandini smiles :- nahi nahi chotu tu bol Kya hua itni raat Gaye kuch important kaam tha?

Abhimanyu smiles :- di koi jaruri kaam nahi hai bas aapse thodi baat karni thi.

Nandini :- ha toh bol na chotu Kya baat hai?? mujhe toh laga tu Mukti ke saath busy hoga.

Abhimanyu :- nahi di Mukti se toh me Kal bhi baat kar sakta hu pal aapse baat Karne ka mauka bohat Kam milta hai aur wese bhi di aapki Shaadi ke baad toh aap toh mujhe bhul hi Gaye ho.

Nandini :- arey nahi chotu aesi baat nahi aur wese bhi ghar me bohat kaam hote.

Abhimanyu :- di aapse ek baat puchu?

Nandini :- ha chotu puch na.

Abhimanyu :- di, aaj jiju thode gusse me lag rahe the kuch hua tha Kya? I mean hum sab yaha ander enjoy kar rahe the then suddenly mene dekha aap jiju ko follow karte karte andar aaye.

Nandini :- hmm chotu woh.....

Nandini tells him about Manik's fight with Harshad

Abhimanyu :- di itna sab ho gaya aapne Hume bataya Kyu nahi?

Nandini :- Kya batati sab log busy the chotu aur phir Manik be sab kuch sambhal liya tha.

Abhimanyu :- hmm di aap iss riste se khush ho? I mean aapse kabhi iss baare me baat hi nahi ki. Di Kya aapne manik jiju accept kar liya?

Nandini :- chotu Tere iss sawal ka jawab Dene se phele ek sawal me puchu?

Abhimanyu nods in yess

Nandini :- aap sab ko Kyu lagta hai me Khush nahi hu iss riste se ? Mene kabhi kuch kaha ya phir Meri kisi cheeze ye mehesus hua ki me Khush nahi hu.

Abhimanyu :- nahi di aesi baat nahi hai..

Nandini :- aesi baat nahi hai toh Kyu tum sab mujh se ek hi sawal karte ho. Ha me manti hu mera past acha nahi tha lekin me itni bhi bewakoof nahi joh apne pati na samjh pao.

Abhimanyu :- di aap galat samjh rahe ho

Nandini :- Abhi tujhe pata hai, accept karna kisi kehte hai sahi mayno me mujhe manik ne bataya aur samjhaya hai. Unhe sab pata hone ke bawajood unhone mujhe se Shaadi ki. Saach kahu toh mane manik ko nahi manik ne mujhe accept Kiya hai. Aur Kon Khush nahi hoga aese Pyaar bhare parivaar se Jud kar.

Abhimanyu's POV :- amms sahi khete hai aap change hue ho ek sahi mayno me aap waha Khush ho di. Ek time tha jab aapki aankho me ek ajeeb sa Khali pan tha aur aaj jab aapse baat kar Raha hu I can see my new di jinko pata hai unki life kese handle karni hai. I wish ayiappa aapko saari khushiya de.

Abhimanyu was busy in his own world and here Nandini

Nandini :- chotu...

Abhimanyu didn't reply....

Nandini shakes him :- chotu kaha kho gaye?

Abhimanyu :- no nothing di aap aaram karo Kal baat kare.

Saying this Abhimanyu leaves from Nandini's room. Nandini was thinking something after a long pause she gets up close her room door and goes towards her cupboard and open a drawer inside, there was a diary inside she takes out that diary and goes towards her study table and sits down and starts writing down in her old diary.

Nandini's POV :-

Zindagi bhi kitni ajeeb hai jin cheezo se bhagte hai wahi cheeze aapke saamne aa jaati hai. Mumbai aane baad kuch cheeze thik hui lekin kuch cheezo se Zindagi badal bhi gai. Teen saal ho gaye the Amma aur mujhe shift hue tab sab kuch haasil karna ek Jung sa tha, uss samay thodi pata tha Malhotra fashion me job milegi bhi ya nahi. Ayiappy aur Amma appa ke blessings se job bhi mil gai. Yeh job hi Meri Zindagi ka turning point ban gaya. Jane anjane me kismat me bhi ek khel khela, jab hume lagta hai ki sab kuch thik hone wala hai tabhi hume pata chalta hai ki kuch thik nahi hua balki jitna thik tha woh bhi galat tha. Lekin meri iss zindagi me ek cheeze constant thi woh hai Meri Amma ka support. Agar aaj me joh bhi hu Amma ke wajah se hu. Amma hamesha ek baat mujhe khete Shaadi jese bandhan me Pyaar bhale hi na ho lekin understanding aur trust hona bohat jaruri, aur yeh baat kitni Sach hai aaj jana, jab me khud Manik se judi. Manik ek aese insaan hai jin hone mere har ek feeling ki samjha hai, Shaadi me amms, chacha aur Chachi lana. jab first time Malhotra's and fab5 ka conference tha uss samay bhi mere bole Bina Meri nervousness ko samjhna, Aur phir aaj ki hi ek baat....
