Hey guys

Sorry for the delay.

star_of_the_n8 thank you for this beautiful cover dear.

Avoid mistakes if any...

Malhotra's came to their mansion after the eating food and directly retired to their rooms to take rest.

Before sleeping Manik messaged Nandini that they reached and good night. They didn't speak much as they were hell tired.

Here in Murthy Mansion everyone retired to their rooms but what dadi said to Nandini it hurted her not that much though...

She was sitting on the small couch near window thinking about the talk that she had with dadi.

Flashback.....

Nandini was returning to her room when out of nowhere dadi came infront of her making her startled.

"Tu toh aaj bahut khush hogi na? Badi aayi sagai karne wali. Meri Navu ke peeche log kaisi kaisi baatein kar rahe hai. Tujhe na sharam aani chahiye badi behen bin bihayi hai aur tu...dekh lena tera yeh rishta na toot jayega." Cursing her she left from there...as she left Nandini who was controlling her tears let them flow.

Tears didn't stop flowing..she didn't have words to say...her own dadi is behaving like this. She entered her room and got fresh and taking her phone she sat on window.

End of flashback.....

Wiping off her tears she went and laid down on the bed and went off to sleep...

Few days passed with Nandini all thinking about dadi's words and everytime she used look at Navya and dadi and she was feeling unknowingly guilty.

Dadi never left any chance to talk ill about her engagement making her feel worse.

Today Nandini was sitting in one of the cafe thinking about her life and her cute moment spent with Manik in engagement.

Her phone rang and seeing the caller ID she smiled brightly...she picked up as it was Manik.

Nandini:  hello....

Manik: hey! Busy ho?

Nandini:nahi kyun?

Manik: acha I want to meet you...so tell me where are you now?

Nandini: Manik I am at a Cafe' you come to that I'll message you the address.

Manik: fine...

They cut the call and Nandini messaging him the address again started thinking about it.

" No Nandini you know how she is. She will do anything to make me feel guilty...you should be happy...just don't think about it..." Nandini took the coffee and started drinking it.

Murthy house

Navya was sitting in her room thinking about her life and yesterday night's conversation with her dadi.

Flashback....

"Kya main andar aa sakti hun?" Dadi asked knocking

"Arey dadi aap aise kyun kar rahe ho...aao na" dadi smiled sadly or should I say fake sadness.

"Main kar bhi kya sakti hun? Tune toh kal itna bol diya ki tujh mein us Nandini ki chamak dikhi..dekh Navya log bahut kuch bol rahe the tere baare mein...main nahi chahati ki tu Nandini jaisi bane..." Dadi said keeping her hand on Navya's shoulder..but Navya defended

"Nahi dadi... voh log galat bol rahe the.."

"Voh log sahi bol rahe hai beta...tu uski badi behen hai...aur teri jagah uski shadi ho rahi hai... voh abhi choti hai aur teri umar ghatati jayegi agar aisa hi raha toh...tune kitni baar uske liye apne aap ko peeche rakha hai...aur aaj bhi tu vahi kar rahi hai..." Dadi said putting all those words in her mind and which were slowing evolving in her mind.

"Par..."

"Par var kuch nahi...tu apne hak ke liye lad...bhale hi uski shadi ho rahi...hone do par main chahati hun ki tujhpe koi ungli na uthaye...meri izzat tere hath mein hai Navu"  saying this she left from there leaving Navya in thoughts.

End of flashback....

"Kya dadi sahi keh rahi thi? Shayad...har baar maine Nandini ko support kiya hai...uski galti ko maine chupaya hai...ab nahi mujhe aise nahi baithna chahiye." She got up and went in the washroom to get ready.

Cafe'

Manik entered into the cafe and seeing Nandini sitting engrossed in her thoughts he smiled. She was looking cute in that dress.

He moved towards her and from behind he whispered

"Whats up!" As soon as he said she literally jumped on her seat making Manik laugh.

Seeing him laughing she made a angry pout and said

"Aise kaun karta hai? I got so scared"  she said keeping her hand on her heart rubbing it slightly.

"Sorry...vaise how come you are here? I thought you will be in dance academy" Manik asked sitting infront of her. She looked at him and then thought about the conversation again.

Manik noticed her face..he thought something might have happened so he didn't bothered to trouble asking again and again.

" Acha since I was free so thought we could spend sometime with each other."  Seeing him thinking like this she smiled and bobbed her head.

They sat there for sometime and Manik said getting up from his seat.

"Come lets go to beach" Nandini smiled and took his hand and came to pay for their order.

"How much is it?" Nandini asked removing the purse.

"250/-"

Before she could pay Manik gave him 500 note making her startled.

"Manik! Main de deti na..why did you give?"

Nandini asked making a annoyed face to which Manik didn't say anything and told her to be quiet.

She was going to speak but the owner gave the remaining change Manik took it and held Nandini's hand and they went.

Beach

(think whichever beach you guys want)

"Tell me! Why did you pay? I was sitting there from so long" Nandini asked keeping her hands on her waist.

Manik stared at her making her frown...he moved closer to her making her conscious.

He took her hands in his and said

"Nandini...life mein aage ja kar hume aisi situation face karni hogi aur mujhe abhi se tumhari responsibility uthani hai...you know so that I get habitual to it so that my wife shouldn't get a chance to complain about it." In the end he said teasingly making her chuckle and she said

"Manik you don't have to...abhi let me do my expenses...."

"Nandini I seriously want to take your responsibility... I want to share now itself...let me please." Manik whispered huskily making her heart flutter...she bobbed her head with a smile and they started walking beside each other.

They talked with each other like they are knowing each other from ages... Manik and Nandini took some photos with eachother but didn't share it on social media only on whatsapp.

Nandini saw some children playing football and being a crazy football player she ran to them making Manik startled.

She started playing with them and he admired her through out getting tired Nandini searched for Manik but not finding him on his place she panicked.

"Manik kaha chala gaya?"  She was busy searching him...when someone put a coconut infront of her...she turned and seeing it to be Manik she sighed asked

" Where you were? I thought you left."

" Do you think I will ever leave you alone?" Manik asked staring into her eyes...she smiled slightly and took the coconut and started drinking the water.

They both spent sometime more with each other on the beach without realising that they spent more than 3 hours.

Reaching Nandini home he left to his house. Nandini entered the house only to dash with Navya. Seeing her Nandini apologized.

"Sorry di mera dhyan nahi gaya."

"Aakhein aage rakhkar chalegi tab dikhega na...hat"  saying this she moved away from her where as Nandini felt sad listening her talking to her like that.

She went to her room without meeting anyone...where as dadi saw this and grinned happily.

How was it?
