How to get away from pain..??

That's a wonderful question because that's the only question which will have innumerable answers. Because, getting away from pain isn't that easy, it will hurt you more while on the other hand, there are different methods for different people who use them to get away from that four letter word PAIN.

And some people, instead of doing anything, they simply seek God's help and ask him to send an Angel in their lives to get them out of their problems. Manik Malhotra's sub-conscious mind might have prayed too which is why even his life took a 360 degree turn..

Uh, but the question is, can she really be an Angel, I mean, Angel doesn't talk non-stop, they don't act like a casual person even if they are drowning in pain or anger or guilt, let be any emotion, they will have a particular feeling unlike, Nandini Manik Malhotra, apparently, she is the Angel we were talking about..Can she really be an Angel in Manik Malhotra's life..? Well, it's said, expect the unexpected thing at unexpected time due to unexpected persons in the most unexpected way...

So, maybe, even a weird personality could become the reason of someone's smile and so Manik's life might turn colorful due to one simply Angel, who is his wife, by now..

In Malhotra Mansion

MaNan's Bedroom

Manik opened his eyes slowly while adjusting to the sunlight that just peeked inside his room. But, he couldn't breathe properly, what's wrong..

He touched his nose only to come in contact with a hand. He, freaked out seeing a hand on his nose. Is there any ghost..?? He slowly, traveled his eyes to his right to see who was the holder of this hand and bingo..!! He just got to see that ghost..er...person..

Manik ( sighed ): God...I just forgot, I was married..

There she, Nandini Malhotra, was lost in deep slumber with her right hand on her stomach and left hand on Manik's nose with her lips pouted cutely, which made him smile a bit, like a very tiny-weeny bit..

Manik ( sarcastic grin): Iske haath rakhne keliye koi jagah hi nahi mila tho socha kyu pareshan hojaaon, hain na apna " husband ", uske naak pe rakhoongi..

He took her hand off his face slowly and kept it on the pillow, uh-oh, not the ones their heads were resting, well the one which was acting like a bridge in between them. In fact, there are 4 pillows in the middle which formed into a bridge so that their bodies don't come in contact with each other and the idea was from Manik Malhotra's brain because she was way too sleepy to even see him sleeping on the same bed where she was sleeping..

He got up and moved to the washroom and the next second he heard something..

" Fluffyyyyyyyyy....uthoooooooo....you stupid brainless witch...uthooooo..." hearing it, he jumped on his place and searched for the voice in thw whole room..

Manik ( frowned ): Ye aawaz kaha se aa rahe hai..Wo bhi ek ladki ki...Chudail jaise chillaa rahi hai..

" You whingeing lady monkey...pull that a** of yours from your not-so-softy beddddd....." again that voice and suddenly he heard another voice which was familiar..

Manik: Isn't it lilliput's voice..??

He looked at Nandini and found her groaning in sleep and muttering something..

Nandini: Chup ho jaa kameeni...

Manik ( nodded ): What a great morning wish..

He walked more to her and found the voice was coming from nearby..Soon, he saw Nandini smashing something with her hand. he took that thing in his hand and heard that same lady or chudail's voice, according to Manik Malhotra, coming from it..

Manik ( bad face ): A mobile...

He looked at the screen which flashed " Alarm at 8 a.m. " and he palmed his face..

Manik ( annoyed ): Konse insaan rakhthe hai aise alarm tones. Mathlab, a chudail's voice as your ringtone..!!!

He simply stopped it and saw Nandini smiling in sleep..

Nandini: Wow, tu tho meri baath bhi sunna shuru kiya..Aaj sooraj kaha se nikli..

Manik ( shouted ): Antarctica se..

And due to his shout, she woke up in a jerk because he was so close to her eardrums..

Nandini: Huh....kya hua...

She understood she woke up from her slumber and she pouted in sadness..

Nandini: Kithni achi khwaab tha..mein aur mere prince charming, I was about to see his face par aaj bhi uss kameeni ko mujhe uthaana tha..

And Manik stared at her with wide opened mouth..

Manik: Whattt...!!!! A prince charming...????

Hearing him shouting again, Nandini snapped into reality..She looked at her right to see a shocked Manik and she stared at him while palming her mouth..

Nandini: What the hell...?? Tum ho kaun..?? Haww, mere kamre thak kaise pohanch gaya..?? Tum mujhe kidnap karnewale ho..Dekho mere paas kuch bhi nahi hai, sab kuch mein apne bestie ke ghar pe rakhthi hoon aur haan, mere virginity tho bilkul bhi dene nahi wali, I wanted to give myself to my Prince Charming..

Manik ( shouted ): What the f****** shit are you speaking..? Mere ghar mein rehkar mujhse hi shadi karke kya bakwas bol rahe ho tum..

And that was when her brain started working. Shit, she has got married yesterday, with some stranger..

Nandini ( grinned sheepishly ): Oops, you were my husband..

Manik ( sarcastically ): Nahi, mein tumhara roadside Bhai tha..kyu..

Nandini ( disgusting face ): Chi..tumhara humor sense bohath kharab hai, agar roadside beggar bola tho kithna acha hotha, bhale mein apne Bhai se shadi kar sakthi hoon kya..

Manik ( fumed in nth level anger ): You...just..called me a beggar..a f****** beggar..How dare you..??

Nandini ( tired face ): Phirse shuru hogayi iska " how dare you ". Tumne koi class liya hai kya ye " how dare you " ka, jabse mein aayi hoon wahi sunn rahi hoon mein. Tumhe apna taste badalna hai..

Manik ( scowled ): Tum mere taste thak nahi pohanchthi phir bhi mujhse shadi karwaya hai..

Nandini ( attitude ): Oh hello, shukar hai ki tum jaise monster ko ithni achi, sanskaari, sweet aur khoobsurath beewi mili hai warna tum tho Narnia ki white witch ko bhi deserve nahi kartha..

Manik ( frowned ): Wait what..? Narnia ki white witch..??

Nandini ( freaked out ): Hawww....ab tujhe ye bhi nahi patha...

And now, Manik palmed his ears tightly, because she just freaked out..

Manik: Why the hell are you shouting..??

Nandini ( ignored his comment ): Tum white witch ko nahi janthe ho..?? Bhagwan ji, ye iss era ka hi ladka hai ki nahi..kaunsa insaan Narnia ki White witch ko nahi janthe..

Manik ( frustrated ): Patha nahi sirf mein hi kyu mila isko apna pati honekeliye..

Nandini ( bad face ): Ye tho mein bhi sochthi thi, h=jabse tumne mujhse shadi kiya ki mujhe koi aur kyu nahi mila..khair meri budhi kismath..

Manik ( confused ): Budhi kismath..?

Nandini: Arey ab kismath ithni achi nahi hai tho budhi kehna chahiye na, oldies are always weak..

Manik ( face palmed ): Ladki pagal hi hai..

He took his towel and walked to the walk-in-closet which was attached to the washroom, took an office wear and moved out and kept them on his bed. He turned to move back when he saw the closet door locked..

Manik: What the hell..

" This is our bedroom, not a hell, so shut your mouth and wait until I get showered.." said a voice from inside..

Manik ( annoyed ): Nandiniiiii...

Nandini ( giggled ): I don't need you to remember my name, honey..

Manik ( stunned ): Honey...like really..

Nandini: Arey tumhe wo pasand nahi aaya...tho mein kya bulaoon..kuch tho sweet hona hai na..hm...haan mil gaya...mein tumhe MONSTER hi bulaoongi..kithna acha naam hai na..

Manik ( shouted ): Ughhhhh......

And he heard her laughing from inside..He started pacing from here to there while cursing her with all kind of words that he could find in Oxford Dictionary..

Right after 20 minutes, he heard the ' click ' sound and turned with an extremely furious face..But, he couldn't find words, he was spellbound after looking at her..

She was wearing her earring while walking out and he stared at her with his jaws dropped down..

Nandini: Chalo, hogayi..ab mein tumhara washroom tumhare haathon mein rakh rahi hoon..

And this sentence brought him out of his trance, thanks to God, or else he would have been caught red handed and she would have started another session of blabbering. He simply glared at her and entered inside and clsoed the door with a bang..

Nandini ( shrugged her shoulders ): Iss ladke ke paas aur koi kaam hi nahi. Yaa tho chillaoge ya tho gusse se ghoorega..

She was about to move out when she saw his office wear on the bed, she took it in her hand only to look at it with a weird face..

Nandini: Phirse Black..He would have watched movie 'Black Water' with deep interest, tabhi tho iss rang keliye ithna shauk hai..Hmm, waise ab Nandini aayi hai tumhari zindagi mein Monster Malhotra, tho changes zaroori hai..

She tried to open the closet and luckily it wasn't locked by him. SHe entered inside with baby steps so that he doesn't get to know she was right outside the washroom..

She shuffled his clothes from one to another only to frown..

Manik: Iske paas black ke alawa aur koi office wear hi nahi hai..hadd hai yaar, mein bhi tho businessmen ko dekha hai, arey Avinash Uncle bhi ek businessman hai, wo tho red suit thak pehentha hai aur ye janaab tho 26 ke hai, phir bhi budha banne mein shauk hai..

She got out of the closet in defeat and closed the door and walked out of the room but then soon she took her mobile from her pocket..

Nandini ( smirked ): Aaj tho aap purane Manik Malhotra hi rahe ga par kal se Nandini Malhotra ke pati bankar jaoge..

Downstairs

In the Kitchen

Nandini walked inside the kitchen to see Mukti pouring tea in cups while Nyonika was making bread toast..

Nandini: Kuch madad karoon tho problem nahi banegi, cooking aathi hai..

This startled both the ladies but they threw everything in their hands and rushed to Nandini and held her arms making her shock..

Nyonika: Nandini, kal raath kya hua..?

Mukti: Bhabi, kuch kiya tho nahi Bhai ne..

Nandini ( perplexed ): Well, you would be the first mother-in-law who would be asking her daughter-in-law what exactly happened with her during her wedding night..And you would be the first sister-in-law who was worried for her Bhabi thinking that her Bhai might hurt her in the process of doing ' it '..You should know what I mean..

Mukti and Nyonika zipped their mouths and stared at her in utter disbelief..

Nandini ( chuckled ): What..?? You guys ran to me like you wanted to know what exactly happened during World War III..

Mukti: By God Bhabi, aap tho iss duniya ki single piece hai, ithni serious situation mein bhi ause mazaak kar rahe hai..

Nandini: Zindagi jeena hai tho khulke jeena hai warna jab tum budhi hogi na tab tum ye sochke roegi ki aakhir tumhare paas waqt ke kya kammi thi jo tum kabhi life enjoy karne ke barein mein socha hi nahi..

Saying it, she walked to tea tray, and completed Mukti's work while the rest of the ladies stared at her in amusement..

Nyonika ( thought with a smile ): And now I know, why Raj was so adamant in bringing her to Manik's life..

Mukti ( smiled ): Aap bohath sweet hai, Bhabi. You really love your life..

Nandini ( winked at her ): Nah..I just love myself. Mujhse zyada koi mujhe kabhi pyar hi nahi kar paoge..

Mukti giggled at her..

Nyonika: Waise, on a serious note, Nandini. Kal raath Manik ne gussa kiya hai kya, tumpe..

Nandini ( disbelievingly ): Aapke bete ko sirf wahi aatha hai..

Nyonika ( displeased ): Mera beta ithna bhi bura nahi hai..

Nandini knew she didn't like it..

Nandini ( smirked ): Maa ka pyar hamesha wahi hotha hai..hai na..

Nyonika knew she shouldn't have spoken like that, but here she just wants her son back and she can do whatever it will cost her but she can't hear anyone speaking ill about her son, at the same time, she knew, it would be difficult for Nandini to handle Manik's anger and being a lady, she was feeling bad for Nandini too..

Nyonika ( sighed ): Mujhe patha hai, tum usse handle nahi kar paa rahi ho par ye sab..

Nandini ( casually ): Oho, aap ithna worry kyu kar rahe hai..ye shadi meri marzi se hui hai aur meri contract mein likhi thi ki mujhe apne pati ke saare tantrums ko tolerate karna padega..And, I have no problem in it. I'm here to get your old son back and I'm ready to make it happen, so I have no problem in taking your son's anger. Take a chill pill...um..waise mein kya bulaoon aapko..Mr. Malhotra tho Grand Pa hai par aap tho dikhne mein granny jaise nahi dikh rahe hai..tho kya bulana chahiye..

Nyonika and Mukti giggled after hearing her calling Raj as ' Grand pa '..Unknowingly, Nyonika asked her to call something she never allowed anyone except her kids..

Nyonika: Mom bula sakthi ho tum..

Nandini ( surprised ): What...??

Nyonika ( smiled ): Shadi tho contract based hai phir bhi Manik ki beewi ho tum, so call me Mom..

Nandini ( smiled ): If that's what you wish..

" Mom...nashtha.." they heard Cabir's voice..

Mukti: Arey wah, mera bukhad Bhai aa gaya ab baaki ke dhono bhi pohanch jayenge jaldh hi..

Nandini ( shrugged her shoulders ): Ek bukhad hai tho doosra " Food phobic " hai..

Mukti ( giggled ): Manik Bhai sunega tho aapko bohath thakleef ki baath hogi..waise..Bhai, aisa nahi tha..

Mukti ended up with a sad sigh..

Nandini ( confused ): Mathlab..??

Mukti ( sadly ): Bhai was a big time foodie. Like, he loved food to no extent. We used to tell him that he doesn't need to marry any girl because he won't have time for her due to his clingy nature for food. But then now...He rarely eats..

Nandini sighed inaudibly..

Nandini ( smirked ): Ab tho tera Bhai badalne wala hai Choti Malhotra...Don't worry..

Saying it Nandini took the tea tray and walked outside..

Nyonika ( smiled ): Mujhe mera Manu wapas zaroor milega..

Mukti ( smiled ): Even I think so, Mom..

In the Dining Hall

Nandini kept the tray on the table only to see Raj's scared face, Cabir's morning grin and Manik's glaring eyes..

Cabir: Morning Bhabi..

Nandini: Good Morning, Bhai..

Cabir ( smiled ): Aap tho badi sanskari nikli, shadi ke agle din hi rasoi mein..kya baath hai..

Nandini ( coolly ): Kyu..penal code mein likha hai kya ki jo ladki shadi ke agle din rasoi mein pair nahi rakhthi wo sanskari nahi hogi ya phir kisine aapse kaha tha kya aapke jo bade Bhai se shadi karnewali ya phir aapki nayi behen mein sanskar naam ke cheez hi nahi..

And Cabir had to zip his mouth with eyes in a correct round shape with extra large size. While Raj was sitting with ' I expected it ' look, but Manik Malhotra was staring at Nandini with his jaws dropped down. He turned to Cabir who was still in a shock..

Manik ( muttered ): Mathlab, iss duniya mein hai koi jo Cabir ke muh bandh kar sakthe..

Meanwhile, Mukti and Nyonika too came out with dishes in their hand with workers following them..

Mukti: Cabir Bhai, aap mujh kyu khlke rakha hai..

Raj closed Cabir's mouth which brought him out of trance..

Raj: Kuch nahi Muku, he tried to become himself in front of his Bhabi and I bet, it would be the worst thing he would ever do again in his life..

Mukti understood the matter and she giggled at Cabir while Nyonika felt pity for her son..

Nyonika: Chalo, sab beta jaa..

Mukti occupied her seat while Nandini was going to sit with mukti when Raj interrupted..

Raj: Arey Nandini beta, tumhe waha nahi, yaha betna hai..

He pointed the empty seat beside Manik..

Manik ( glared ): Uske zaroorath nahi hai, Dad..

Raj ( glared ): Zaroorath hai ya nahi, ye mera concern hai, so you need to zip that mouth for now..

Manik scowled at Raj in extreme anger while others were laughing silently. Nandini shrugged her shoulders simply at the drama and sat beside Manik who now started glaring at Nandini..

Nandini: Mujhe ghoorke kuch nahi milnewale hai, so concentrate in your food..

Manik ( gritted his teeth ): Tum kahi aur jaake beto..

Nandini ( sighed ): Iss seat pe na tumhara naam likha hai na kisi aur ka, tho tumhe ithna takleef kyu..Aur waise bhi, iss ghar ka head tumhara Dad hai tho tum unka beth manoge aur agar tumhe maanne ka irada nahi hai tho chup hoja, sirf wahi tho aatha hai tumhe..

Manik held his head in frustration and started eating while others preferred to laugh silently..Nandini stared at Manik's plate which had only 2 pieces of bread..

Nandini ( serious face ): What's your weight, hubby darling..??

Manik coughed on his food after hearing the name for him and others too stared at Nandini in shock. Nandini passed a glass of water to him and tapped his head to get him rid of coughs..

Nandini: Dheere khao na, koi olympic runner hai kya, khair chod, answer my question..What's your weight..

Manik ( glared ): Tum kya mere teacher ho..??

Nandini: Mujhe nahi patha tha tumhare teacher ko tumhare weight mein ithni interest thi..

Manik ( glared ): Tumhare paas aur koi kaam hi nahi hai kya..khao na apna khaana..

Nandini: Mera khana khaana hai ya nahi, ye mera kaam hai, ab tum ye bathao tumhare weight kithne hai..

Manik ( frustrated ): God..approximate 70 kgs..

Nandini ( freaked out ): Whatt...!!!

And the whole Malhotras palmed their ears..

Manik: Tumne phirse chillaya..

Nandini ( disbelievingly ): Chillaoon tho kya karun..You're freaking of 70 kgs and you eat only 2 pieces of bread as your breakfast. Here I am eating a paratha when I'm just 52 kgs..Tum insaan ho ya chuha..

Manik ( glared ): None of your business..

Nandini: Oh hello, kya mathlab by none of your concern..huh..beewi hoon tumhari tho haq bantha haiye sab poochne keliye..Mom, kya mein ye sab pooch nahi sakthi..

She asked with a puppy face and Nyonika, immediately got melted even after getting glared by Manik..

Nyonika: Of course bantha hai..

Manik: Mom..

Nandini: Chote bachon ke tarah whine karna bandh karo..

Manik controlled himself from bursting out. He took his coffee mug and drank the whole thing in a go making others stare at him in shock..He took the bread and chewed it like it was grass and he was a cow..

Manik: Manik Malhotra naam hai mera aur mein kisi ki bhi nahi suntha hoon, khudki beewi ki bhi nahi..

He got up from his seat and zoomed outside while others sighed in defeat except Nandini who was lost in deep thoughts..

Cabir: Bhai tho kisiki bhi nahi sunega..

Mukti: Bhabi, where are you lost..

Nandini: Huh..I just got the perfect name for your brother

MukBir: And..what is it..??

Nandini ( grinned ): Mr. Grumpy Coffee...

And they looked at her with " she can never get serious " faces..

Nandini ( smirked ): Waise, ab tho mere paas tumhara Bhai keliye bohath hi khaas gift hai..

Nyonika ( raised her eyebrows ): Gift..? Konsa gift..?

Nandini ( grinned ): Wo tho aage aage dekhiye, mom..Chalo, mein bhi jaathi hoon..bu-bye..Grand Pa, byeeeee...

Saying it she got up and moved out of the mansion while others sat with confused faces..

Raj ( sighed ): Hope my son won't lose his mind...

The rest simply ignored his comment, because they were lost in Nandini's GIFT...

To be continued..
