The unexpected fairy tale- 21

Location : Mumbai
Time : Evening 4 pm

St Mary's school .....

Nandu completed her working hours  fully exhausted bcoz of Invigilation she couldn't sit in one place , she moved to the parking lot to see Charms waiting there with her gang ....

Charms on seeing nandu , smiled looking at her ....

Reema : mam , she called nandu who is about to start her bike ..

Nandu ; yes Reema , she asked getting down from bike ..

Reema : actually ...
She started but is pulled back by Charms ...

Charms : nothing mam , let's go home ..

She said giving warning look to everyone in her gang  ....

Nandu : wait charms , let her say .....she said glaring at charms who stood silent now ...

Ashnoor ; actually mam today we planned to study together and any ways her brothers are not there in home , so I asked her to come to my home but she is not coming .....she said slowly ...

Nandu : her brothers are not there that's why she is not coming , if they are here she could have just said them and come with you for night out , she didn't want to worry them , she is staying with me now. If you guys want to study together come to my home and I don't Mind having you guys at home....she said with a smile and everyone looked at her in shock ...

Charms : best idea mam , I love u saying charms hugged her making everyone more shocked ....bcoz they didn't knew charms shares a close bond with nandu ....even nandu hugged her back patting her head .....

Nandu : see u all at home , saying she took away charms with her.

All the others looked at each other not knowing what to do , bcoz how can they feel free to have a combine study session in a  teacher's house ....

But still everyone left to their homes and got freshen up ....

Even nandu charms got freshen up , nandu made snacks for everyone .....she just sat on the couch watching tv and charms sat beside her eating her snacks ..... Both are busy watching kaisi yeh yaariaan crushing over parth Samthaan 😍....

The door bell rang and charms ran to open the door , there came ashnoor , Reema , jannat , Anushka .....

She welcomed them....

Charms : where are the boys?? She asked bcoz she didn't find the guys ....

Reema : scared to come , she said hiding her laugh ...

Charms : scared ?? Why ??? She asked confused. ....

Ashnoor : bcoz we are in Mam's house , she said pointing nandu .....

Charms gets an evil idea ....she drags all the girls inside the house .......

Charms : darling the girls are  here , she said running to nandu ....

This is a big shock for the girls bcoz charms is calling nandu darling ....yes nandu and charms decided that they can't call nandu as madam at home as well so she will call her darling and nandu felt happy hearing her call that bcoz her best friend used to call her that .....

Nandu : what about boys .??

Charms : they will miss all the fun , not our fault ....she said jumping in happiness ....

Nandu laughed looking at her , thats when the girls noticed nandu looking cute in her pajamas ....she didn't look like a teacher of them. ....

Nandu : feel home and yeah study fast , such that we can play ....she said moving inside the kitchen ....

Charms : where do u guys want to read ?? Here or in bed room ?? She asked them...

Ashnoor : are u sure it's okay here ??? Can't we study in your house ?? She asked hesitantly ....

Charms : even this is my house , so where ?? She asked happily....

Reema : hall ....she said pointing the couches ....

All the girls sat around in the couches and started reading .....

Nandu came with a tray full of snacks and drinks .....

Ashnoor : mam , all this is not needed ....she said feeling really awkward.....

Nandu : complete these , i don't make bad food u can ask charms ......she said sitting on the beach bag with her phone ....

Charms : darling makes yummy food saying charms hogged on the food .....

Everyone had snacks with happy faces .....

They are reading from past two hours continuously may be bcoz nandu is there in the same room .... They are so into studying that they forgot to check mobiles and guys are calling them continuously .....

Finally they stopped reading bcoz nandu's phone disturbed them ....

Its Manik ....she answered the call with a smile .....

Nandu took her mobile and moved out without disturbing the girl .....

Nandu : hai Manik , she said happily ....but it's not Manik it's Karan on call ...

Karan : hey nandu Karan here , how r u ??? He asked but nandu felt why didn't Manik call her .....

Nandu : I'm good , how r u ?? Is everything okay ?? She asked bcoz she don't want to ask about Manik directly.....

Karan : everything is good where is charms ....?? He asked again....

Nandu : charms is busy studying with her friends .....she said and they both continued talking about krithika as well ....

After the call nandu moved inside to see girls packing up everything to leave ....she bid bye to them along with charms ....
nandu charms had dinner and fell asleep ......

In Hyderabad .....

Manik is just beside Karan sitting in the garden and listening to nandu ....

Karan : Manik why didn't u talk to her ??

Manik : u didn't give me a chance to talk ..... He said looking at the other side .....

Karan : call her again and talk ...he said giving the mobile .....

Manik : r u crazy its already late , let's go and sleep ....he said taking his mobile and walking back inside ....

Karan : bagh jaoo lekin kab tak , I will make sure to be the cupid for you idiot ....he thought for himself and moved back to the room to see Neil, arjun , Ali talking to their girls and Manik just looking at them in envy ....as they are being all lovey dovey ..... Yes all five of them are together in Hyderabad in a hotel , they met today and started the investigation in secrecy .....

Manik just closed his eyes ignoring all four of them and fell asleep dreaming about nandu ....

In Mumbai ....

After three days .....Its evening ....

Charms packed back all her things and sat down in the hall along with nandu ....

Nandu looked a bit sad as charms is going back to her house ....it's been just five days they are together but the house felt full of life ......

Nandu : why should u go back ??? She asked cutely ....

Charms : bhai asked me to be ready to go back to home , she said with same sadness .....

Nandu : they just live opposite why can't you stay with me ?? She thought in her mind but didn't say it loud ....

They heard a horn and charms got excited but nandu became dull .....

Charms ran to see all her five brothers along with mouni,  Sanju ....bcoz they recieved them in airport and came together ....She hugged all of them and stood beside Manik who hugged her tight ....

Nandu : come in guys , have some coffee , she said calling them in....

Mouni , Sanju hugged her and the guys waved at her ....

Sanju : no it's okay , we are so tired . U don't worry we will freshen up and have it , saying they all bid bye and left after smiling at nandu ....

Manik : thank you , he said formally without even a smile . Karan gave him a glare but Manik didn't dare to look at him ...

Charms got her bag out with karan's help and moved out along with the other leaving nandu After hugging her tight ,nandu kissed her forehead lovingly....

Nandu just sat in the garden looking at their retrieving figures which entered their house  . Tears just rolled out of her eyes looking at her lonely self .....she didn't bother to wipe them bcoz there is no one to see her ....

Nandu : thats it nandu stop crying , they just live in opposite house u can meet them . Why am I like this ?? Why do I get attached to everyone ?? They just walk out like i never exist , this happens to me all the time . House felt so lively and lovely after years but it's not what I can have , she is not my own family na , when my own family can never stay with me , how can I except a small girl to leave her family and live with me ? I'm mad , i shouldn't expect anything from anyone  . Why do all the people I like or love just leave like i never exist , why am I letting everyone effect me , no nandu your a strong girl . Just let them go , you are enough for yourself . Yes I'm strong ....mom I'm your strong girl right . Yes I'm , you are there with me na . Stay there with me i don't want anyone , i can stay alone , she cried her heart out but sat there admiring the moon and stars ....

Unaware of the fact that she is watched by Manik. Yes Manik is watching nandu from his terrace bcoz he noticed how dull her face is when they bid bye to her but couldn't go to her as he had a mission to complete , he needs her to be safe , he couldn't hear anything but he knew she is hurt ,  nandu wiped away her tears and walked inside and saw her lonely  house and remembered how next day of maths exam  all the kids ( gang of Charms including boys  ) had combine studies .... Followed by pillow fight and loads of games .... In the past three days she had fun daily in the evening with her students reliving all her childhood memories ....

She just got more sad and moved to her room and slept crying her heart out .

Next day morning...

Nandu didn't get up for her morning yoga session , Manik is just doing his jog always looking at nandu's house to have a glimpse of her like everyday but he didn't get to see her ....

He completed his jog and left to home thinking of her crying face .   Charms got ready to school . Karan is going to drop her as he wants to meet kritika .... Manik got ready fast and joined them to see nandu once ....

Manik , Karan , charms are standing near the school gate . Karan saw kritika and waved his hand , she came to them and had a good talk to her. 

Kritika's  phone rang , she saw it was nandu ....

Kritika : ok , I will come in the evening . You take care . Saying she cut the call .

Karan : what happened ??? He asked her bcoz even he is curious like charms and manik .

Kritika : nandu is down with fever , she is not coming today . She informed the principal just now.  I would search for her so she called me ....she said with a sad look...

Charms : mam was fine yesterday night right ....she asked being worried for nandu ....

Kritika : i don't know but she sounded very low. I will go meet her in the evening . Come charms let's not get late to class , bye ...she bid bye and moved away with charms ....but manik is just thinking about nandu lost in his thoughts ...karam noticed this but didn't talk anything and asked him to start the car as they are getting late for work ......

Precap : realisation for Manik ....

Why did nandu cry ??

Why did her family leave her alone ??

Did nandu commit any mistake ??

Will Manik talk to nandu ??
