Recap : Raj took Nandini to Shekhar's home
............................................................

Shekhar can't believe when Raj told him that Nandini is going to stay with him hereafter....Shekhar can't express his happiness in words...

With heart full of joy and happiness and with a new strength hugged Raj tightly...

Raj smilingly : "Shekhar! Be careful...I think my all the bones will break by the way you are hugging me...I can't even breathe now...Leave me please..."

Raj smilingly requested Shekhar...who let go of him happily from the hug..

Shekhar : "I don't know how to say thanks to you....You only said right there is no place for thanks or sorry in friendship"

Raj smilingly : "For that will you do like this?.....You can say thanks for this....I won't mind"

Saying this Raj looked at Nandini.....He saw that she didn't move from the place where she is standing since she entered the home..

Raj : "Shekhar, I am feeling thirst....I want....."

Shekhar interrupted : "I will bring water for you now..."

Shekhar is about to move when Raj stopped him...

Raj sternly : "Hey Shekhar! What are you doing?...Whenever I came to your home...you will always give lemon juice....Now on seeing you daughter ...you forgot it and going to bring just water.....Go! Go and bring my lemon juice"

Saying this Raj chuckled.....

Shekhar : "Okay....sit here...I will bring your lemon juice"

Shekhar smilingly went to the kitchen..

After he went...Raj came near Nandini.

Raj : "Did you see tha? How your father became happy when he saw you?...I am seeing him with true happiness and joy after so many years....After your mother's death, he forgot to smile....Now he is smiling because of you......His happiness on knowing that you came here and you are going to stay with him...Not only Shekhar....Even I am happy...satisfied and having peace after long time...everything..."

Hearing this Nandini questioningly looked at Raj

Raj : "You want to know why I am happy right? I am happy that I united you with your father after years....I felt guilt of separating you both for years..When Shekhar talked about you...I saw the yearning for you in his face.....He will struggle on not seeing you and talk you and keep you with him...Nandini, The anger you have on Shekhar is not justified...Meaningless too...You will come to know this very soon...But till that have some patience with you....You should not talk to Shekhar in the way you talked in our home...He can't bear that...He is a heart patient now...Extreme happiness or Extreme sorrows will affect his health badly....Do understand it and behave properly....You may or may not want your father....But I want my friend.....I can't search for another true friend anymore...I became old right?"

Saying this Raj laughed...

Raj smilingly : "This is your mamu's loving request....You will listen to me right?....He didn't get any happiness to the fullest...Don't hurt him in any of your ways...I am begging you for this...."

Raj eyes welled up with tears while saying this...

Seeing this Nandini started to cry and held his hand..

Nandini sobbingly : "Mamu please...Don't talk to me like this..You just order me to behave..I will listen to it..But don't use big words like begging and all...It's difficult for me...Are you seeing me as a stranger Mamu?"

Raj : "Not like that Nandini...."

Nandini sobbingly : "Mamu! I don't know about your friend..But you are too good Mamu....You are talking about your friend's happiness and well being.....He should have done some good deeds to get you as his friend....Only he can't search a friend like you anymore"

Raj smiled on hearing this...

Raj chuckled : "Are we having a debate now on who is the best friend? And my little judge came to give her decision...! Is this important now?"

When Raj saying this...Shekhar came out of the kitchen..

Raj whispered : "He is coming! Do remember what I told you..."

Shekhar came near them...

Shekhar : "Have it Raj...The lemon juice which you asked for!"

Shekhar gave another glass to Nandini who accepted it without any refusal..

Raj kept quiet until Nandini finished drinking..

Raj : "Nandini!...There! That's your room...All the things that are needed for you are kept in that room...Even the dresses are bought by Shekhar..Even you are not there in this home, Shekhar arranged for all these thinking that you are always living with him in an imaginary state...I too asked him several times that why he is doing all these like a mad person..But he didn't changed his habit it till date..."

Raj continued : "Nandini! If you want to read something read it....I will call you when I am leaving for the home"

Nandini nodded and went to her room..

Shekhar smilingly : "What is that Raj? So many advices for Bhanji?"

Raj : "Did you overheard it?"

Shekhar chuckled : "As if you are talking about miltary confidentials and I overheard it..I knew it when you asked for lemon juice itself..You are going to talk something alone to my daughter...That's why I came late from the kitchen...Other than that I don't know the conversation between Mamu and Bhanji and all...You may have thousand matters to speak...I won't ask why and all"

Raj : "There is nothing that should be kept secret from you...."

Raj informed about Nandini's anger, how she talk to Kalyani, and Manik slapping Nandini in anger...

Raj : "Shekhar...Now Nandini is in very much confused state and depressed too....She will come to normal in few days..She will understand you soon...Till that you have to be patient and not let your hopes down..."

Shekhar : "Hmmm...I can understand Raj....I waited for this day for several years....Won't I wait for few more days...I want Nandini's happiness only.."

Raj smilingly : "Okay Shekhar, I am leaving now....Nyonika will be suffering there by sending Nandini here...I will be satisfied only if I go and console her"

Shekhar worriedly : "Yes Raj...Till now..I too didn't think about Nyonika...She will suffer too much...She fostered Nandini like her own daughter with all the love and affection...It will be difficult for her to be separated from Nandini...All because of me Raj....The problem started to come when I came into your family..."

Raj smilingly : "How many days are you going to say like this? Problems will come for sure in everyone's life....Don't lament about anything now....Go and live your life happily with your daughter....I am leaving "

Raj called Nandini and told her that he is leaving...

Nandini : "Mamu"

Raj : "What dear?"

Nandini : "A book of mine, ....I kept it in the table itself...I forgot that...But I want that book"

Raj smilingly : "Okay dear...I will bring your book tomorrow morning"

Nandini worriedly nodded....Seeing her like this Raj thought for a while and came up with a small smile playing on his lips...

Raj smilingly : "Nandini! I have an important work tomorrow morning.....I will tell Manik to give you the book tomorrow morning.."

Nandini's face glowed with happiness on hearing this...

Nandini happily : "Okay Mamu..."

Raj noted Nandini's happiness in his mind and left for his home...
