U R MY STAR & I M UR SKY
Part 31:
Manik: Nyonika..... Mind ur words!!! I don't care if it is good for our company or not, but I know Nandini very well & thus I asure u that nothing of this sort is gonna happen. And yes now I hope that u r not going to say anything against her bcoz the thing that u call as "so called frndship" is actually Love. I love Nandini be clear about that.
Manik shouted hearing Nyonika saying stuff about Nandini. While Mukti was shocked by manik's sudden outburst, Nyonika couldn't believe her ears,
Nyonika: WHAT??
Manik: Yes & now if u r done with this, plz lets change the topic or i m no more interested in this meeting.
Raj: Manik...... Calm down...
Nyonika: Raj, u knew about this?
Raj: Yes I did, & I m happy about it, in fact very happy.
Nyonika: But-
Raj: Nyonika, its his life... N he is big enough to take his own decisions, so it will be good if we don't interfare in that...
Nyonika: Fine then, I'll not say anything, but i hopw u don't regret later...
Manik: I think this meeting is over... So good night then....
Manik got up from the table to leave..
Raj: Manik... Son at least hv ur dinner.
Manik: Thanks Dad, but now i m not hungry any more.... I'll see u later!
Manik turned around & walked up the stairs saying,
Manik: Mukti call me after finishing ur dinner... I wanna leave ASAP!!
Saying so Manik went up & disappeared in his room. When raj asked,
Raj: Mukti... Where r u both going at this time??
Mukti: Actually Dad... I thought to stay up with nandini tonight, so that if she needs anything, I'll be able to help. So bhai is just going to drop me.
Raj: Good!! Its better that u stay up with her...
Mukti smiled at it & ate up her dinner in silence. Nyonika & Raj too continued eating. Mukti finished eating & then said,
Mukti: I m done... Bye dad!! See u tmrw...
Raj smiled at it & Mukti got up but before she could get away, she heard Nyonika say softly,
Nyonika: Grow up hurting ur mother & u'll forget all manners.
Mukti stopped right there & turned towards Nyonika again & asked,
Mukti: What did u say??
Nyonika: Nothing.... Just glad to see such nyc manners that ur brother has taught u!!
Mukti: Not a word against Bhai!! And when u talk about manners, I don't think u deserve it at all... So sorry!! Good Bye....
Nyonika gave her a cold look while mukti just turned around & walked away. 10 mins later, Raj & Nyonika were sitting on the sofa having some fruits when they saw Manik & Mukti walk down the stairs. It was clearly visible on their faces that they were very mad at Nyonika. Both of them ignored Nyonika & said bye to Raj. They left the house & reached Nandini's place 15mins later.
As they entered the house they saw Nandini sitting alone in the living room & two servants standing in front of her with their heads bowed.
Nandini: Ramesh... This is the last time I m warning u about this thing. U repeat it ever again & u r out of here, get that straight. And Kaka, u will not interfare in this. Ramesh, u hv to take care that kaka takes all his medicines on time & takes care of himself. Is that clear??
Servant: Yes ma'am...
Nandini: Good Now u may leave...
Mukti smiled looking at her & then said,
Mukti: Hello bossy madam.
Nandini turned towards them & said,
Nandini: Ohh Hi guys... I wasn't expecting u to be back from the dinner so soon.
Mukti was about to say something when Manik asked sternly,
Manik: Where is Cabir??
Nandini: Ohh he left some time back.... Mom called.
Manik: Ohk... U wanna go upstairs?
Nandini: Yes plz... This sofa is not that comfortable.
Manik gave her a slight smile & picked her up & moved towards her room, along with Mukti. As they entered Mukti saw the entire bed fule of files.
Mukti: God Nandini, so many files!!
Mukti picked up a few files & kept them aside & Manik made nandini sit. He then sat next to her & said firmly,
Manik: No work at all... U got it!!
Nandini nodded at it & Manik picked up the bed side phone & called downstairs,
Manik: Hello... Yeah plz get Nandini's dinner up here!! thanks...
Manik kept the phone aside & nandini said,
Nandini: Manik... I don't wanna eat anything!! I had a few snacks with Cabir.
But Manik ignored her words & said,
Manik: I m here for sometime, will go after u hv ur dinner.
Nandini turned towards Mukti & smiled at her. They sat there & talked for sometime. Though Manik was also talking sitting along & talking, but Nandini noticed that he was speaking very less & looked a bit disturbed.
10 mins later, the servant entered the room & served a plate for Nandini. And with that Manik started feeding Nandini, while Nandini continued talking to Mukti. But after eat a bit she picked up the plate herself & took the spoon towards Manik's mouth. Manik looked up at her, and resisted but Nandini forced him to eat & then said,
Nandini: Manik.... U don't consider her as ur mother then why do her words effect u so much??
Both manik & Mukti looked at her shocked. Neither of them had told her anything that happened still she knew it. But before manik could say anything, she filled his mouth again.
Nandini: U know she never wishes good for u but still u r spoiling ur mood bcoz of her!! U can't change her. All u could do is already done. She is already far out of ur life. She can do nothing to u or to the ppl that matter to u... At least stop punishing urself because of her. Cheer up!!
As she finished Manik smiled,
Manik: How do u know?? Who told u?
Nandini: U told me... Ur face explains it all!! Now smile & eat this, I know u didn't hv ur dinner.
Mukti: Ohh God... U two r such a pain yr!! I m feeling like kabab me haddi right now, in all this romance of urs.
Manik: Oye...Madam... Haddi!! U r feeling exactly correct, go away...
Mukti picked up a pillow & hit Manik,
Mukti: Haw Bhai!! Not fair... Ab girl frnd mil gyi toh mujhe bye bye...
Manik smiled at her & slapped her slightly. They finished their dinner happily & then Manik got up to leave. He kept his hand on nandini's cheek & said,
Manik: Take care!! BYE... Any problem just call me I'll be here anytime.
Nandini: Manik... Just go & sleep! I m fine & now we'll meet only tmrw is that clear?
Mukti: Manik, u hv really got a correct girl.... This is for the first time I m seeing any one command my bhai, The Manik Malhotra... Well done Nandini!!
Both Manik & Nandini smiled at it & Manik finally left.
As manik left Nandini pilled up all her files from the bed on the table. And looking at Mukti she knew that Mukti wanted to talk about something. But still she kept quite.
Mukti: Hey could I use ur washroom.
Nandini: Sure Mukti... Feel at home!
Mukti got up & walked inside the washroom. A few minutes later, she came out & sat next to Nandini without saying anything. Nandini picked up her laptop from the bed & opened it saying,
Nandini: Mukti, u can ask whatever u want.
Mukti looked up towards her & saw Nandini looking towards the laptop screen. She bent forward & saw some official documents opened up so she said,
Mukti: Nandini.... U r working again!!
Nandini smiled at her & said,
Nandini: Chill, I m not working, I hv promised Manik about it. I m just saving all these & closing it.
Mukti smiled at it & Nandini soon closed the laptop.
Mukti: he does love u a lot right??
Nandini: I think God has sent him for me to fulfill the vacant place of my entire family... I can just say that i m lucky coz of having him.
Nandini picked up the landline & asked them to send a servant up to her room. As soon as she disconnected Mukti finally said,
Mukti: Nandini, does Manik & Cabir-
Nandini: No, chill I hvn't told them anything & nor m I going to do so.
Mukti: How do u know I was gonna ask that??? 
Nandini was about to say something when the servant knocked & she called him in.
Nandini: Take these files to the study & keep them on my table.... Tabke this laptop along as well & don't misplace any file.
Servant: Ohk ma'am!!
Saying so the servant picked up the stuff and left.
Nandini: Coz the look on ur face from that time tells everything. Mukti do u why Manik & I told Cabir before all of u about us..... Because I wanted to tell Cabir myself, as I knew that in the relationship that we shall, if he gets to know lets, then he'll be hurt. In the same way Abhi came & told me about both of u, before i get to know it from u, so that I don't get hurt....
Mukti smiled at it & nandini continued,
Nandini: And now if manik & cabir would hv got to know it from me, then u know their feelings... Because it should be u who should tell them.
Mukti: Thanks Nandini... Thank u very much!!
Nandini: No need for thanks.... Just a nyc treat would do for now!! And now do I need to ask, what u hv to do?
Mukti: Yeah... I know!! I need to tell Bhai first of all!!
