"kya hua raj.....apne mujhe bulaya? Main kam kar rahi thi, par servant ne bola that you have to talk about something urgent...aisa kya urgent hai?"

Nyonika said, coming into the room hurriedly.

"Nyonika, nyonika..tum abhi to yeh bol rahi ho ki kya urgent hai aisa but when you will listen to the news..you will be the happiest!"

Raj said while twirling her around.

"acha, aisa kya hai? Ap to aise bol rahe hai jaise ki apne manik ke liye ladki dhund li.."

Nyonika said.

"wow!! tum to bahut acha guess karti ho..."

Raj replied happily.

Nyonika was shocked and to confirm she asked,

"kya? matlab apne sachme manik ke liye ladki dhundli...?"

"han, Sameer ko yahi baat karni thi. Actually, uske ek family friend ki beti ke bareme bata raha tha! Bahut achi family hai."

Raj explained.

"acha, to hum kab milenge unse...?? "

"Calm down nyonika, abhi to vo unse bhi baat karega then if they say yes, we can fix a meeting with them."

"okay! But i am so happy, meri wish itni jaldi puri ho jayegi"

Nyonika said happily.

"hmm...chalo ab tum apna kam karlo."

Venkatesh blurted out.

Shanno said.

"par..."

Venkatesh tried to say but,

" par var kuch nahi, dekhiye hum shadi nahi karenge uski abhi. par mil to sakte hi hai na. Vaise bhi ap hi ne to kaha achi family hai, unhone han bhi kar diya hai, to milne mein kya problem hai"

Shanno explained.

"ap uski chinta mat kijiye, mein bat karungi usse. "

Shanno convinced him.

" thik hai, to mein sameer ko phone karke bol deta hun, ki kal ke liye meeting fix kar le."

"ji, ab mein nandini se baat karti hun."

Saying she left.

Venkatesh informed sameer about their decision.

Raj and nyonika were in their room when Raj gets the call of sameer.

"hello, han kya hua sameer??"

Raj asked.

"Acha, yeh to bahut achi news hai. Thik hai"

"Han, okay. Thanks a lot bro! Bye."

after hanging up the call,

"NYONIKA!!"

Nyonika got startled and asked

"kya hua raj??"

" nyonika, Murthy's man gaye. In fact kal ki hi meeting rakhne ke liye kaha unhone."

Raj said excited.

"KYA?? yeh to bahut hi achi baat hai..."

Nyonika's happiness knew no boundaries

Raj realized something and said,

"par manik..."

Nyonika replied

" ap uski chinta mat karo, main abhi usse bat karke ati hun..."

She left for Manik's room saying so.

_______________

Manik's room

Nyonika knocked on the door.Manik who was lying on the bed got up, opened it and told her to come inside.

" beta, vo mujhe tumse kuch important bat karni thi"

She said as she sat on the bed.

" Han, mom!"

He said and Nyonika was praying to God that Manik agrees to her.

" boliye, Kya hua??_

He said bringing her out of the trance.

"Manik, vo...dekho beta ab tum bade ho gaye ho. Aur vo dream bhi tumhe pareshan karta hai, to iska ek solution mila hai mujhe par promise karo puri bat sune bina gussa nahi karoge."

She said

"sach mom, apko ek solution mila hai. Jaldi se batao. okay..promise!"

He said excitedly.

"beta, maine tumhe kabhi kisi chiz ke liye force nahi kara. Par main chahti hun ki tum meri yeh baat man lo, humne ek ladki dekhi hai tumhare liye, usse mil lo...fir tumhe vo pasand na aye to mat karna usse shadi par ek bar mil lo and han..hum tumhari shadi ke liye abhi tumhe force nahi kar rahe, par milne me kya hai, tumhari ek life partner bhi aa jayegi"

She said, thinking about this reaction.

"Mom, par mein kisi aur ki responsibilities lene ke liye abhi tayar nahi hun!"

Manik said, with lines of tension on his forehead.

"han, tabhi to tum abhi sirf mil lo, dheere dheere apne ap sub ho jayega."

Nyonika kept her hand on his, and said.

"Mom, mujhe kuch time chahiye!"

He said, looking down.

" thike, beta par please aj rat ko bata dena and please soch samajh ke decision lena. "

Nyonika said, while smiling.

"okay mom!"

He said, assuring her.

"okay!"

She said and left.

After coming out, nyonika thought that manik must be in confusion so she told cabir to go to him.

_________________

When nyonika was talking to manik, shanno also went to nandini's room.

"aiye ma, come sit!"

She said, keeping pillows on the side.

"nandini, beta mujhe kuch bat karni thi."

She said, while sitting.

"boliye na ma."

She said while smiling, thinking about her day.

"beta, ab tum badi ho gayi ho, itni achi company me job mila hai to ab tumhare liye life partner dhundne ka time agaya hai."

Shanno said, praying to God in her mind.

"par ma, mein..i mean you know na ki mujhe shadi...."

Nandini tried to explain.

" Shaadi se dar lagta hai, kisi par trust karne se dar lagta hai, hai na?"

She said, reminding her mother of her fears, insecurities which restrict her from trusting anyone except her family.

"par tum hum par to trust karti ho na...?"

Shanno questioned her.

"of course ma, yeh kaisa sawal hai!"

Nandini said, laughing at her mother's question.

"to tumhe lagta hai ki hum tumhare liye kuch galat sochenge?"

She again raised a question.

"nahi, par.."

She didn't know what to say anymore.

"nandini, tumhe koi force nahi karega par tum mil to sakti ho na...aur agar pasand bhi agaya to shadi ki koyi jaldi nahi hai...."

Shanno explained her calmly.

" okay, par mujhe kuch time do sochne ke liye. Main rat tak apko bata dungi."

Nandini said.

"thik hai mujhe rat tak bata dena."

Shanno said

"okay ma!"

Nandini replied and Shanno left.

Shanno called navya and told her to come home so that she could help nandini in making a decision!

Malhotra mansion,

Manik's room

Manik was thinking about what nyonika said when cabir came,

" kya soch raha hai"

He said while sitting next to Manik.

"kuch nahi...Mom ne bheja na tujhe!"

Manik said, putting his arm around cabir's shoulders.

" han..unhe pata tha ki tu confusion me hoga..isilye!"

Cabir said, shrugging his shoulders.

"cabir, kuch samajh nahi aa raha yar! Ek taraf to mein bhi apni life mein kisiko chahta hun par dusri taraf...kya main kisi aur ki responsibilities utha paunga?"

Manik said, worried about the taking the responsibility of someone else.

" I know tu kaisa feel kar raha hai, I mean navya aur mere time par maine bhi yahi socha tha maine par pata hai, ek bar vo meri life mein ayi na, to laga ki uske liye mujhe responsible banna hai, to tu tension mat le...sab ho jata hai vaise bhi konsa tujhe shadi abhi karni hai, sirf milna hi toh hai..!"

Cabir explained him.

"Shayad tu thik keh raha hai. Vaise bhi Mom ne kabhi mujhse kuch nahi manga...."

"manik, tu sahi keh raha hai par please sirf isliye mat manna kyunki mom ne kuch nahi manga."

Cabir warned him.

" Han, isse to yeh compromise hoga...par vaise bhi i am ready. Jab tu kar sakta hai to main bhi..Thanks for helping me in making my decision!"

He hugged Cabir.

"ab ki na mere Bhai vali bat, Are yar thanks mat bol..tu na mujhe bas kuch khane ke liye dila dena kal..main khush ho jaunga..."

Cabir said lightening the atmosphere.

"Tu kabhi nahi sudhrega na..."

Manik slapped his shoulder and asked.

"Kabhi nahi...chal ab mom ko tera decision bata dete hai"

He said and they went to tell nyonika Manik's decision.

______

Same way, navya also made nandini understand and she also agreed.

_____

MaNan told their decision to their parents and they were very happy to hear the news.

MaNan slept thinking about their next day which was going be quite eventful for them.

________________

How was it?? So MaNan are going to meet in the next update. Excited?? I am very excited...how will they meet?? Will they agree for the marriage?? What will happen when Manik comes to know that nandini doesn't believe in love...in fact she can't even trust anybody! Stay tuned to know all this! Since today's chapter is about mother and child's relationship...

AT THE END I WOULD SAY,

"In a child's eyes, a mother is a goddess. She can be glorious or terrible, benevolent or filled with wrath, but she commands love either way. I am convinced that this is the greatest power in the universe." - N.K. Jemisin
