Nandini got up early than expected. It is already 5:30 am in the morning she was not getting sleep.

She was turning from one corner to another trying to sleep but the thoughts were not leaving her mind at all.

She looked at Manik who was sleeping peacefully without any tension. She kept staring at him until the sun rose... Yes she was staring at him for 1 and 1/2 hour.

" I don't know what to do. The thoughts are not leaving my mind only. " She looked at Manik again and whispered.

"What if you don't believe me? What if you accuse me?" She didn't knew what her mind was thinking. Without waking him up she went towards the balcony to see the beautiful morning.

After few minutes she came inside and directly went into the washroom. Getting fresh she moved down to the kitchen to help Shanti maa but her mind was still stuck on the previous day happening.

After breakfast all were leaving except for Nandini and Dhruv. Dhruv was sleeping. Nandini came towards the door to see off Manik.

Manik turned and smiling to her pecked her and whispered "don't take tension."

Nandini smiled and bobbed her head. Manik left from there bidding bye to Nandini. As they left Nandini directly moved to kitchen and making a lemonade moved to Dhruv's room.

She entered inside and saw him sleeping uncomfortably but still moving may be getting up from his sleep.

Nandini sat with a chair infront of him and waited for him to get up. Soon he got up holding his head whining.

"Ahh...my head...ahhh" he sat on the bed and dipped his face in his hands. Nandini sighed.

"Yeh pilo sar dard kam hoga" Nandini forwarded the glass and listening her Dhruv was startled. He looked at her then at the glass.

"Bhabhi..." He whispered making Nandini sigh..she handed him the glass.

"Chalo drink it fast, bahut important baat karni hai" listening her he gulped his saliva and took the glass and had it.

He knew her gaze and he was purposely ignoring her. When he finished it Nandini said taking the glass from him.

"I hope your headache will soon go away" Dhruv just bobbed his head and looked down.

"Neeche dekhna band karo...and tell me what is wrong with you? Aise kyun har roj pi kar aate ho? Kuch hua hai kya Dhruv?"

Dhruv stared at her in shock...he just shook his head and Nandini sighed and asked frustratedly.

"Dhruv if you are going to ignore this topic how u will come out? Haan? Kuch dino se tum aise pi kar aa rahe ho. Na jaane apne bhaiyon ko kya kya bole ja rahe ho...you know na what Manik said about your father? Haan?"

Dhruv just bobbed his head and looked down with tears... Nandini saw tears falling down...she sat beside him and asked placing her hand on his back.

"Now can you share with me? Please."

Seeing her pleading like this he cried more and looked at her with tears filled eyes.

"Bhabhi... sachi...main... Main voh sab nahi karna chahata tha...infact jis din bhai ne mujhe danta us din maine un sabko manan kiya..."

Nandini frowned on "un sabko" she asked again " kin sabko Dhruv?"

Dhruv looked at her and said holding her hands "bhabhi... voh mere kuch friends hai...maine mana kiya tha...par they...they blackmailed me...if I won't listen to them....they they will send the video to Manik bhai... I got scared bhabhi...please aap yeh baat bhaiya ko mat batana...please"

Nandini held his face and made him look at her and said "tum is baat ko ignore nahi kar sakte Dhruv...and tumhare bhai ko yeh pata hona chahiye...he will help you"

Dhruv stared at her and shouted loudly making her scared "no...bhabhi...bhai ko nahi oata chalna chahiye..."

"Dhruv listen to me calm down...tumhare bhai tumhare bhale ke liye hi sochenge...hmmm. so you will tell them by yourself...please Dhruv don't do this.. don't hurt yourself and also us." Nandini said all this so softly that Dhruv started shedding silent tears.

"And what if bhai doesn't talk to me? What if he tells me to go out of the house?" He asked like a lost child making Nandini stare at him. Nandini took a deep breathe and was suppose to reply but was shocked to listen Manik's shouts.

Nandini whispered his name and looked at Dhruv who was literally shivering in her arms. Manik barged into the room with his eyes all red and face too.

Nandini got up knowing his anger as she faced it before also in the room.

"What did you do these days Dhruv?" Manik asked standing infront of him Nandini stood beside him as she knew what he was going to do now.

Dhruv looked down again not wanting to see his face (scared) Manik got angry looking at him not answering.

"Will you tell me Dhruv?" He shouted making both Dhruv and Nandini flinch... Nandini held his hand immediately to calm him down...he looked at her and sighed.

"Bhai...voh...maine jaan bhujkar nahi..." Dhruv started stammering while saying making Manik frustrated.

"Stop stammering Dhruv... didn't I tell you to stay away from the alcohol? Didn't I tell you how our family been through? Didn't I tell you how our father was?" Manik stressing on all the words to which Dhruv just bobbed his head... Manik moved towards him and taking his phone out he showed him something making him shock....he looked at him and started saying

"Bhai..please don't believe this...this isn't true...bhai..."

"Tell me...why you did this? Why are you forcing on this girl?" Manik asked gritting his teeth and Nandini was shocked listening him.

"Manik what are you saying? How can Dhruv......"

"It's the truth..." Manik said cutting off Nandini.

"No it's not... bhai main sach sach batata hun...yeh video main jo bhi yeh sab galat hai...yeh sab sach nahi hai...they gave me something and I though it to be just juice...but I didn't realise when I did this...bhai believe I would never do this in my life... you know na how much scared I am when it is related to girls...bhai sachi bol raha hun...jitne bhi dino maine sharab pi hai yeh sab is video ke vajah...main yeh sab nahi karna chahata tha..." Dhruv said hugging Manik who was little calm now but still angry.

" Agar yeh sab dabav mein aakar kar rahe the why didn't you tell Abhimanyu or me? Haan?" Manik asked looking at him to which he replied back saying

"Main dar gaya tha bhai... I was scared...you won't believe me...main sach bol raha hun...maine aisa jaana bhujkar nahi kiya."

He said all hugging abd crying Manik... Nandini cried standing over there... Manik then broke the hug and asked "when were you planning to tell me? Yeh toh acha hua Nandini mujhe subah bata diya"

As soon as he said Dhruv looked at Nandini who bobbed her head...he stared at Manik and asked "aapko pehle se hi pata tha?"

Manik shook his head and told how Nandini told him about his behaviour in the morning.

Flashback

When Nandini came out of the washroom she was all tensed...looking at her Manik asked her what happened she was going to deny but Manik gave her his swear and she had to tell him.

Listening her Manik got all the more angry and said " I will talk to him"

He got up to go but Nandini held his hand making him shock.

"Not now Manik... I think there is something more into this...please don't behave impulsive..." Manik bobbed his head and then they both behaved normal...they didn't let anyone know about the morning thing.

End of flashback

Nandini sat beside him and said " Dhruv you have a family who loves you... I was hoping that you will be with me when I come here but looking at your behaviour I am really disappointed Dhruv"

Listening her he looked down and whispered sorry...he looked at Manik and asked " but bhai how did you get this video?"

"Haan Manik. Aapko yeh vidoe kaha se mili?"

Nandini asked looking at him to which he said " while going to the office mera phone baar baar baj raha tha...so I got irritated and picked it up...the caller said it's related to Dhruv... I thought someone is doing prank but then guys sent me this video...but seriously Dhruv I was literally shock."

Dhruv looked down and Manik continued "isme teri bhi galti hai...jab tujhe pata tha ki ur friends are like that why didn't you leave them?"

"They were blackmailing me bhai...now for sure they will try to do it more... I am screwed now." He said clutching his hair... Nandini immediately kept her hand on his shoulder and said

" Calm down Dhruv we are with you...no one will do anything to you...hum sab solve kar denge." Nandini said it with a assuring smile making smiled looking at Nandini the way she was making him understand her.

Manik then placed his hand on Dhruv and said making him look at him.

"Listen to me Dhruv. Jo bhi ho hum sab hai...and please don't go to drink more now...and if I see you again driking... I will make sure that you will not touch the glass next time." Manik said all deadly making him gulp... Nandini sighed looking at his warning.

"Aise kyun baat kar rahe ho aap? What you will do? Is this the way you handle someone? Nandini asked Manik making him frown...

"What?" Manik said getting all confused.

" What what kya?.... Manik there is a way to make people understand...and this is not the correct one.."

Manik sighed and said " yeh koi baccha nahi hai ki main use godh mein bithaun aur samjhaun..."

"Haan main kab keh rahi hun ki godh mein uthaun aur samjhao...main keh rahi hun instead saying such words...say it to him politely."

Dhruv was one by one staring at each other.. inside Dhruv was giggling but didn't bring it up on his face as he knew Manik will not leave him at all.

On seeing them still fighting he laughed badly making them frown but admire his smile...they stopped when they saw him looking at them.

"Ho gaya khi khi" Manik asked making him chuckle...he got up and eent to the washroom Nandini and Manik stared at his figure going away... Nandini and he smiled slightly as they did so to change his mood little.

Later on when Dhruv came out he saw only Manik was there in his room and Nandini was not there. He again looked down.

"Chal neeche" Manik told Dhruv and he followed him...as they came down they saw Nandini arranging the table.

Manik just sat with him for few minutes and later on went from there taking a glance of his.

"Dhruv mujhe pata chala ki you misbehaved with Abhi and Kartik." As soon as she said Dhruv's eyes widened. He looked at her and then down and whispered.

" I am sorry bhabhi...aap yahan aaye sab kuch chod ke aur aapko yeh sab dekhne ko mil gaya...aapko yahan khush rakhne ke bagair meri vajah se aapko yeh sab...."

Nandini stared at him...she knew he is guilty...he looked at her and seeing her smile he frowned.

" I am happy that you realised it Dhruv. But I am also disappointed with you. You should have told your brothers...imagine if no one was beside you, imagine Abhi, Kartik, Manik ya phir main...agar nahi hote toh? Dhruv life mein family is important atleast they will support you...there will be someone who can understand you...aise friends ke chakkar mein aakar aisi harkatein karna yeh sab galat hai...main yeh nahi keh rahi ki friends are not needed... I am just saying aise logon ke sath rahon jo aapko ke har dukh and sukh mein...jo aapko hasaye mushkilon mein aapka sath dein. Dhruv you know Manik once told me that he was awake whole night just to take care you when u were small. Think about him who was struggling to take care of you."

Dhruv was registering all that she was saying...he knew how Manik was awake for days when he was not well...infact he blasted on Abhimanyu and Kartik for their prank which made him sick.

"Tum aisa mat socho ki main kuch hi din mein aayi aur aisa yeh sab bol rahi hun...tumhe lecture de rahi hun..." Dhruv didn't let her complete he immediately said

"Nahi bhabhi...main aisa kabhi nahi soch sakta...aap jab se aaye ho is ghar mein raunak aayi hai aap kabhi bhi aisa mat socho ki aapki vajah se aisa hua...aap toh family ho"

Nandini smiled slightly and said "then you should also know jisko tumne itna kuch bola hai voh tumhari family hai. Unhone tumhe danta hai because they know that you were somewhere wrong...main yeh nahi keh ragi ki Abhimanyu ya Kartik kabhi galat nahi ho sakte...vakt aane par unko bhi vahi dant padegi." Nandini said so softly that Dhruv was drowing into his guilty.

Dhruv looked at her with tears and said " aap na mujhe maa jaise lag rahe ho abhi...aap bilkul unki jaise baat karte ho."

"Toh bhabhi kya maa saman nahi hoti?" Nandini asked teasingly to which he said

"Bilkul hoti hai...aur maine decide kiya hai main aapko aaj se maa bulaunga." As soon as he said Nandini gasped...

"What?" She whispered to which he bobbed his head with a cute smile but seeing gasped face he asked sadly

"Can't I call you that?" Seeing his face getting sad she immediately said

"Of course you can...mujhe koi problem nahi hai." Nandini said this with a smile making him smile.

He hugged her and whispered "thank you maa" Nandini just patted his back with a smile and relaxed him.
