Nandu got up at 4 am brushed her teeth and went to her doll house with her learning pad , started learning as she was determined to learn and make her parents  feel proud of her. After 1 hr Manik got up and saw her missing so went to search for and finally found her in the doll house. He then took her hand in his hand and he told her to be silent and he took her to their room. 

Manik:- Bacha why did you get up so early in the morning and go to the dollhouse? I want to know the whole truth ? 

Nandu:- she was mum and didn't answer him.

Manik:- I know what you're hiding from I heard your conversation with Harshad. So now at least tell me the truth.

Nandu:- Sorry mani with tears in her eyes,and then she told him everything as she didn't want to hide from him at least not now . 

Nandu:- so i stud when no one is there,means she studies when no one is around her.

Manik:- was happy seeing her talking and pronouncing the words correctly but she only stamered in the word study . So he told her it is okay but from next time you must come to me first and tell me what's the matter and I will guide you okay .

Nandu:- Yes I will tell you first.

Manik:- Bacha I am so happy that you are learning to speak and pronounce the words properly . How happy will everyone be when we tell them? 

Nandu:- No Mani no don't tell them anything , I want to give them a surprise.

Manik:- So when will you tell them?

Nandu:- When i can talk well then promise me you won't tell them 

Manik:- ok promise Bacha. Now sleep for a while.

Nandu:- but Mani all will be and she stuttered on the word behin me means behind me then how will I stud means how will she study?

Manik:- we will see to that later now you need to sleep Bacha it is not good to wake up so early . He made her sleep with him.

                                           Daily she studied with her Mani and now he was able to speak well but she hid from  everyone very well now there are only three days left for school to reopen after a vacation of two months.  Now she is hell nervous about what will happen after three days. Will she be able to tell everything correctly or not? 

Manik:- calm down bacha don't take stress ok whenever you feel nervous close your eyes and take your Aiyappa gods name and then answer each and everything now okay.She nodded her head.

                          Like this again three days were over and all kids were upset  as holidays were over and  school was opening from tomorrow .

Cabir:- He was very grumpy and said why do we need to have school again? I can't enjoy life with my food.    

Manik:- we need to go to school to study as we need to become something  in life.

Mukthi:- But we need to get up early in the morning is what I hate. 

Nandu:- laughed at their faces and said I am very hap for shol means she is happy for school , she knows how to speak well she is just pretending in front of everyone.

Raman: murmured yes tomorrow will be your last day in school.Manik heard what he said and was angry  like how can a father speak like this but he smirked and said to himself  tomorrow you all will b e shocked to see how my Bacha is going to make you proud. Then all had all their meals and rested for the day. 

                                       The very awaited  day arrived and everyone got up in a grumpy mood except Nandu and Manik as they were very excited for today as everyone will be surprised. Everyone got ready in their school uniforms and had breakfast. They all went to school in a big vehicle even Raman and Ishitha went with them but both were tense and happy to see Nandu without any tension and happy. They reached their school .

Ishitha:- Said Cabir I should get no complaints today as it is your first day and he made a grumpy face and said yes maa and he went to his class.

Raman:- Ishitha I am very tense for our princess. What if she didn't pass the test and they give her tc and see she is smiling as if nothing has happened . 

Ishitha:- relax Raman we will tutor her at home for a year then maybe she will be ready by then . Don't be disappointed with her Raman  as the doctor told before itself she will be a slow learner but when she learns she will remember it .

 Manik:- Nandu don't be nervous  and if you do what i told you okay and don't be scared as papa is with you.  I need to go to my class now. All the best and bye.   

Nandu:- Thank you Mani and bye.

                                       Then her parents and she were called in the principal's cabin as they entered the principal's cabin. All wished the principal.

Principal:- lets come straight to the point so she will be given both oral test and written test to see her progress all nodded.

Principal:- Are you ready baby Nandini?

Nandu:- Yes sir I am ready for the test and I am not a baby  anymore sorry to say sir. 

Principal/ Raman/ Ishitha :- shocked and surprised  as how well she replied to the Principal.

Nandu:- please close your mouth sir and papa.

Principal:- Okay lets take her  oral test first and he asked her many questions. His first question was to tell me about yourself / self introduction.

Nandu:- Okay .

Principal :-  It is enough darling. The principal was impressed by Nandini but he wanted her class teacher to take her written test and see.  So he called her teacher and told her to give her a written test .

Sonia teacher:- Come Nandini and she took her to another classroom for the test.

Nandini :- was given the test paper  and the teacher told her she had only twenty minutes and she nodded her head.

Nandini:- then wrote everything . Every single question she answered and gave it to the teacher in fifteen minutes as the question paper had only 6 questions. 

Sonia: sit till I correct this paper ok.

Nandu:- yes mam.

Sonia: After ten minutes come, let's go. And  they went to the principal's cabin and she gave him the answer paper to the Principal.
