Nandini was at the terrace all afternoon .

She recollected all the happenings in the past.

She felt sad thinking of all those things.

Had she not gone to her mother's house , she wouldn't have got all the courage to live her life .

Her mother was her pillar of strength during the bad phase.
She had lost all her hope of living . But her mother gave her life lessons.

She had stayed with her mother for sometime and then her mother asked her to return to her in-laws house as now it was her house .

At first Nyonika didn't want to take her back but on Raj's and Shanti's insistence she agreed.

Nandini realized that Nyonika was not bad at heart but was a bit angry on her. But since the time Soha had come to stay with them , her life had become a living hell.
Soha used to brainwash Nyonika about Nandini.

Nyonika being angry with Nandini already use to believe whatever Soha said .

Soha was very evil at heart.

Nandini always tried to be careful around Soha. But Soha was way too cunning for the sweet and innocent Nandini.

It was almost evening now.
Nandini came down and saw some hustle bustle going on.

Nyonika was instructing the servants to clean the house thoroughly.

Nyonika seemed to be very happy about something.

Nandini got confuse as to what was going on.

She went to the kitchen and saw Shanti cooking . Even Shanti was very happy.

Nandini asked Shanti what is all this going on.

Shanti hugged Nandini and said-

Nandini Beta I am so happy .Manik wapas aaraha hai kal.

Usi ke welcome ke liye ye sab preparations ho rahe hai. Kitna time hogaya usey gaye hue . Finally wo wapas ajayega.

Nandini smiled weakly.

She started helping Shanti in the kitchen.

Shanti was all excited and started talking about Manik.

She told Nandini everything about Manik's childhood, his likes and dislikes, and then she told about how Manik had suggested her to send Nandini to her mother's house.

Nandini got surprised hearing this.
She had thought that it was Shanti's idea to send her home.

But she was wrong. It was Manik who had done her a huge favour indirectly by sending her to her mother .

Shanti broke Nandinis thoughts by shaking her.

Shanti was continuously talking to Nandini about Manik when a servant walked in and said to Shanti.

Madam apko Nyonika Mam bularahi hai.

Shanti - Tum jao mai aati hu.

She asked Nandini to cut the vegetables and went out to meet Nyonika.

Nandini was busy in her work when Soha walked in. She pretended to drink water but was staring at Nandini .

Finding her alone, Soha came to her and said- Tch Tch Tch Bechari Nandini . Kitni bholi ho tum Nandini. Ya phir bahut chalak ho. Itna sab kuch hone ke baad bhi yahi par ho.
Agar koi aur hota to kab ka is ghar se chala gaya hota.

Nandini ignored Soha and kept doing her work.

Soha got angry seeing this.

She held Nandini's hand and made Nandini turn towards her and said- Tum samajhti kya ho apne aap ko.
Kahi ki Maharani ho. Jab mai baat kar rahi hu to you better pay attention or else...

Shanti came and saw this. She said in a stern voice-

Or else what?

Soha immediately left Nandini's hand and walked away.

Shanti asked Nandini if she is fine.

Nandini nodded in a yes.

Meanwhile in Soha's room-

Soha went to her room fuming in anger. She was pacing to and fro thinking about how to tackle Nandini.

She thought to herself - Ye Shanti Aunty ka kuch karna padega. Jab tak wo yaha hai mai chain se nahi reh sakti.

Then an evil idea came to her mind and she laughed evilly and said- Hmm ab dekhti hu tumhe mujhse kaun bachayega Nandini.

Author's Point of view-
Poor Soha. Little did she know that God had planned something good for Nandini and God was always by her side to save her .

Done with another update.
