Cabir replied: Kyo kya hoa... tu ne aisa kyo pocha...?

Manik with raised eyebrows: Bro Terey hote hoe Finance report mein mistakes...

Cabir at once stand from his seat and moved towards Manik... He picked that file and after seeing that report again ... He understands that Manik was right.

Now Manik also stands from his seat and then he came near Cabir and asked: Kya hoa Bro... Kya tension hai... U know na tu mujh se share kar sakta hai.

Cabir blinked his eyes in yes and said: Ya I know... But yaar...(He left his sentence)

Cabir gave a smile to him: Awww yeh hoi na sachey doston wali baat.aaa isi baat pe gale lag ja.

And he gave a friendly hug to Manik.

Manik after this hug again said: Cha lab yeh notanki chor aur kam ki baat bata.

Manik: Haan tou ja na ... problem kya hai.

Manik in strict voice: Cabirrr! Just Shut up yaar.

Cabir: Acha ok main samajh gya...Jar aha hoon main ... Akhir Navya ko bhi to batana hai... k merey Boss ne leave grant kar di.

Manik picked a paper weight and showed him like Ab agar tu na gya yahan se tu yeh paper weight a raha hai teri taraf.

Cabir on seeing the dangerous expression on Manik's face immediately left from there.

Manik with a small smile: Kabhi nahi sudhre ga yeh.

At Night Cabir came with Nandini in Malhotra Mansion.He told her about all this matter in Afternoon and Now he introduced Manik and Nandini to each other and then said bye to Manan and left from there.

After Cabir Manik said only 1 sentence to Nandini: I hope app ko yahan koi problem nahi hogi.but agar app ko kuch chaheye ho to kisi ko bhi bol dijeye ga.

Nandini looked at his face and then with a Puppy face nodded in yes.

Manik then called an old servant and gave him instruction regarding taking care of Nandini.After this he left towards his room.

Nandini take a deep breath and then she turned towards that servant.

Nandini said namastey to that servant and introduced herself.

Nandini: Namastey . Mera naam Nandini hai aur app ka.

Servant: Namastey Mam. Mera naam Ramaish hai.

Nandini in child like voice said: Arey Ramaish Kaka ... yeh Mam mam mat kaheye ga mujhe.

R: Mam app shb ki guest haan... aur app ki izat karna to hamara farz hai.

Nandini: Haan but yeh kis ne kaha k mam bolne se hi app meri izzat kar sako gey.Izzat tou dil se ki jati hai na.In angrezi namon se nahi.

Ramaish on hearing such words remembered his old time with Mrs Malhotra(Manik's Mother).She also had similar thinking that's y she said him Ramaish Bhaiya and on her insistence he called her as Bhabi gee.

Nandini called him: Kaka... kahan kho gaye app.

Ramaish: Kuch nahi beta bus kuch yaad a gya tha.

Nandini while making a puppy face said: Waisey kaka kuch khane ko miley gab ht bhook lag rahe hai.apni packing k chakar mein khana bhi nahi kha pae thek se.

Ramaish : Ok beta gee chalo pahle app ko app ka room dikha doon.Manik shb ne app ko yahan dekha to naraz hoon gey phir main app k khane k liye kuch le ata hoon.

Nandini:OK... Waisey kaka yeh app k manik shb kuch zyada hi serious type k nahi haan.

Ramaish: Beta bus bare shb aur bhabhi gee ki mout ne unhe aisa bana diya hai. But dil k bht achey haan.

Now Ramaish showed her a guest room and went towards kitchen.He sent some food for her in that room.

After eating that food she decided to take rest.

Other side.

Cavya's talking

Navya: Cabir kya tumhe yaqeen hai k hum ne jaisa socha hai waisa hi hoga.

Cabir with worried face: nahi mujhe yaqeen nahi hai lykin phir bhi main ne yeh chance liya kyok ab main Manik ko mazeed is halat main nahi dekh sakta.Tumhe pata hai na os ka kya haal hai.Aur phir last time uncle ne mujh se kuch manga tha. To os ko pura karne k liye main kuch bhi kar sakta hoon

Navya: But Nandini os ka kya...?

Cabir: Navya tum janti ho na k Nandini merey liye kya hai... kya tumhe lagta hai k main os k liye kuch ghalat socon ga.Agar jaisa main ne socha hai waisa ho jata hai to mujhe se khush is baat pe aur koi nahi hoga.Aur waise bhi Nandini k liye Manik se zyada acha aur suitable life partner aur koi nahi ho sakta.

Navya: hum mata rani se pray Karen gey k hum ne jaisa socha hai bilkul waisa hi ho.

Next Day Morning:

Manik saw Nandini on breakfast table she was munching the toast like a baby.

Manik came and sat on opposite chair and started his brakefast.

Nandini said hi to him and then asked How are you?

Manik : I am fine. I hope app yahan comfortable ho...

Nandini said without thinking: Arey don't worry about me ... mujhe apney app ko comfortable karna ata hai.

Manik stared at her face with surprise and Nandini on receiving that stares bites her tongue and said sorry with very cute pouty face.

Manik like this cute expression of hers and with a small smile said: That's good.

Nandini :Ok main chalti hoon bye.

Manik: Arey kahan ja rahe haan?

Nandini told him: Space Academy

Manik: Oh sorry I forgot Cabir ne bataya tha k kisi competition ki tyari kar rahe haan app.

Nandini squint eye brows and with again a pouty face said: can u do me a favor..?

Manik: Ya sure.

Nandini: Plz yeh app mat bola Karen mujhe.Mujhe aisa lagta hai k jaise koi kisi senior ko bula raha hai jabk I think age wise to app mere senior hogey haan na.

Manik again with surprise expression thought: Puri tarahn se Cabir ki bahen hi lagti hai.

Nandini again said: App mujhe merey naam se bula sakte haan.zyada difficult lage to Nandu bola liya Karen...

Manik with raised eye brows: Nandu?

Nandini: Haan... Nandini se Nandu... nick name.(she said this like an excited child).

Manik with a smile shook his head and said: Ok.

Manik: Tou Nandu app.

Nandini again slapped on her head and said: ab app khud hi batao Nandu jaise cute name k sath app(while making a yukkk face) suite karta hai kya?

Manik's smile grew wide on this innocent complaint.

Manik while smiling : No.

Nandini: To phir is app ko hata dein na plz...

Manik : Acha Ok.Tum( he take a pause) bahir driver khara hai os k sath ja sakti ho.

Nandini shouted at once: No ways... mujhe kisi driver k sath nahi jana. Main to jaise rooz jati hoon waise hi jaon gi enjoy karte hoe.

Manik in taunting voice: Really? Aur itni traffic mein kya enjoy karti ho tum.

Nandini :ummm wo main app ko kyo bataon?waise bhi jab main ne cabir bhaiya ko bataya tha to un ne bhi mera mazak uraya tha to app bhi to un k hi friend ho. So ab main apna mazak nahi banana chahti. So thanks for your offer but main khud se chali jaon gi.

After this Nandini left from there and Manik immediately stands from his seat , takes his coat and bag he also left towards his office.

But when he saw her on bus station he thought to follow her and while following her he observed that she is a great person. On her way to her academy she helped lil school kids and then she helped an old lady.She spent her time with teasing kids.He noticed that those kids were very fond of her.and while doing all these chores when she reached at her academy then Manik left from there towards his office.

Nandini came back from her academy and saw a Gardner was there taking care of plants .She immediately changed her dress and started helping him.

Manik came back to pick some file from home and whne he parked his car he saw her in Garden.He came inside and asked Ramaish about her and he told with fearfull voice: Shb wo Nandini bitya bahir garden mein haan.

Manik again in surprise: kya kaha app ne...phir se kaheye.

Ramaish with lowered voice:Nan...dini ... Bitya Bahir haan... Wo chotey shb wo...kal un ne hi kaha tha k unhe mam ya madam na kahun .

Manik: Ok app jaeye.

Now Manik came near that window from where he he was able to see the view of that garden.

He saw that she was playing with mud while humming something and when she felt tired she removed water drops from her forehead with her dirty hands.

His wanted to stop her but it was too late now a layer of mud was also there on her forehead.

His gazed was fixed on face and he thought that she was looking like a cute kid in her messy state.

After sometime she came back inside in loud voice called: Ramaish kaka plz pani la dein.

Manik on same time came and stand infront of herand asked: yeh kya halat bana rakhi hai.

Nandini startled on his sudden presence and in shock she without thinking moved her hand towards her face .

Manik observed her action and he knows what comes next so he immediately hold her hand in his.

Nandini's eyes popped out on feeling his touch on her skin.she immediately gazed on his facewith open mouth.

Manik unintensionally started enjoying this emotion k dukan . He with his hand indicated her that her hands were full of mud.

Nandini again with helpless expression said sorry and started giving him excuse: Wo app ne ... kaha tha na... k yahan comfortably rahon...to bus isi liye.

Manik on listening this lame excuse starting laughing .Nandini and other sevants got a shock on his laughing.Actually got a real shock but servants were happy after seeing him laughing after a long time.

Manik after controlling his laugh said with smile:Go pahle ja k bath le lo.

Nandini like a obedient kid nodded in yes and left from there.

After this Manik again left for his office.

At night when he came back.He heard the most melodious voice.

That voice pulled him in its direction and while following that voice he reached infront of Nandini's Room.

He opened that door very slowly and saw her on the bed with her closed eyes while a pen and a paper were placed in her lap.

Apni aankhein khaali kar de

Hmmm hmmm mmm hmmm

She was trying to make lyrics for her song.But again she failed in this task.

She immediately opened her eyes and saw towards the roof and said: Ayiappa... kya karon aik song bhi nahi ban raha to main competition mein participate kaise karon gi... plz help karo na. plz.

Manik after listening this left from there and after changing he came in his room with a tray of coffee cups.

After a knock he came in and said: Sorry to disturb you but mera coffee peena ka dil chah raha tha to socha tum se poch loon k kya mujhe company do gi . don't worry main coffee le k aya hoon.

She immediately said with puppy face: Yaa Ok... Waise bhi filhal mujh se kuch nahi ho raha to may be is se thora sa mind refresh ho jae.

Manik: Ok and then he sit on the bed and gave her 1 cup of coffee.

Manik: Hmmm waise kya karne chah rahe thi jo ho nahi raha.

Nandini with puppy face: Aur kya karna hai. Competition k liye song banana ki koshish kar rah thi.

Manik: ohkkk tou phir bana kya.

Nandini again with pout: No

Manik: Koi baat nahi thora sa mind ko relax karo gi to ban jae ga.Music composition k liye jitna mind ko stress me lao gi music utna hi dor jae ga.

Nandini: Hmm sahi kah rahe ho ... waise kya app ko bhi musicmain interest hai.Cabir bhai ka to mujhe pata hai un ko starting mein bht interest tha but then don't know kya hoa un ne music ko bilkul chor diya.

Nandini unintentionally put her hand on manik's wound.But Today his heart wanted to told her His story.

Manik s eyes became wet on remembering his hard time.He said in his wet voice: Os ne meri wajha se music ko chora.

Nandini heard his statement with shocked face and asked: App ki wajha se kaise.

Manik told her about their passion for music .He told her that he was not interested in this business thing but his destiny, his life, his thinking , his passion all things changed with he lost his parents.

Nandini's eyes also became teary on hearing his story.

She removed her tears and then she came near Manik and gave a comforting hug to him. Manik after receiving this comforting hug again started crying.

Nandini tried to console his painfull heart: Shhh Manik... App itney strong ho k aise kaise ro sakte ho.Arey ayiappa ne agar app k parents ko apney pass bula liya to kya hoa... app k pass un k sabhi memories to haan na yaad karne k liye. Merey pass to wo bhi nahi haan. Aur socho wo app ko is halat mein dekh k kya ayiappa k pass khush hoon gey.

Merey ama appa jab mujhe chor k gaye they na to main ne decide kar liya tha k main apnea ma appa ki stong girl ban k rahon gi.app ko pata hai starting mein ne main bhi bohat roe thi but then aik din appa ko main ne apney dream me dekha aur un ne mujh se kaha k wo mujhe hamesha hanste hoe dekhna chahte haan to dekho ajj bhi main un ki khushi k liye hans rahe hoon.app k parents bhi to kuch aisa hi chahte hoon gey na app k liye... aur phir jab wo app ko aise chote bachon ki tarhan rote aur gusa karte dekhte hoon gey to kya sochte hoon gey bolo.

Manik looked in her eyes and then Nandini with her thumbs removed his tears.

Nandini at once extended her hand and said: Aisa karo app na mujh se dosti kar lo main app ko apni tarahn khul k jeena sikha doon gi ... wat say.

Manik: with a lil smile hold her hand .

After this both started smiling.Manik said Thanks to her for her consoling and Nandini replied: Dosti ka aik assol hai Mr ... No Sorry and No Thank you(and she gave a wink to him)

Manan talked like this for some more time and then Manik said Good night to her and left from there.

Manik's Room

He came in the balcony of his room and while looking towards Stars said: Maa Dad I know app mujhe dekh rahe ho... I am sorry ... Nandini sahi kah rahe thi... I know merey is behavior se app bht hurt hoe ho gey ... But I promise ajj se main khud ko change karne ki koshish karon ga.
