Standing infront of mirror manik whistled as he stared at his image in mirror and smiled

Aaj to prerna ne flat hi hojana hai a voice from behind startled manik and he stopped combing to turn around and face nandini who was leaning at the door......in past few days they had developed such a great bonding despite the differences happened in their first meeting

Koi privacy bhi hoti hai bnde ki he said rolling his eyes as he saw her smirking

Tm to mind hi kar gye she said as she turned around and sat on swing infront of manik's room

I think free ho tm bht he raised his eyebrow at her and nandini just frowned in confusion kamra hi saaf kar do mera wese bhi maasi wale sare qualities hai tm mein manik said throwing brush on bed and waved his hand at her b4 descending down the stairs while nandini screamed

Btmeez.....nhi karo ge mein koi kaam she fumed stamping her foot on floor while she heard loud laughter of manik in return

*************

Prerna manik called as he saw her occupying a corner of hotel not interested in her surrounding.......he smiled at her brightly while prerna just raised her head but didnt say anything.....soon the chair screeched and manik sat infront of her

Kese ho he asked gently holding her hand

Kese nazar arhi hn she snapped and manik just pursed his lips and stared at her face

Kia hua

Dad gye the tmhare ghar she threw a bomb at him and manik's face turned pale at her statement

Mein tmhe btane wala tha he hesitated b4 saying it and prerna glared at him

Nhi ab zaroorat nhi iski.....aisa karo bhool jao mjhe she said with smug attitude and manik just stared at her face in helplessness

Kia Keh rhi ho tm his tone turned stern as he made a serious face

U r ur father's real son??? Haina and her words felt like an insult to manik but still he said nothing

Dad phle hi bare mushkil se maane the....tmhare ABBA se milne ke baad to wo bilkul nhi shaadi hone de ge hmare she said in panicked tone

Hua Kia hai kuch btao ge manik asked in irritated tone

Unke according tmhare jese insaan ko apni beti dena kisi ghalti se kam nhi......wo tmhe PTA nhi kia Kia keh rhe the and a colour appeared on his face at her words......he curled his hand in fist to bear everything.......all these years he thought that the clash between him and his father was just bcz of generation gap and huge differences in thoughts but after hearing prerna he got to know that it wasnt anger It was hatred

Manik u know what phle mjhe lgta tha wo ghusse wale hai but isse zayda wo insane lgte hai she said in distasteful tone

Prerna he snapped her harshly as he didnt like her speaking about his father like that and she went into her timid mode

Manik dad is very concerned...according to him no one can tell about a son more than his father...... and manik pursed his lips at her statement but said nothing

I can't live without u manik she added in concerned tone and manik plastered a smile on his face as he patted her hand SB theek hoga tm tension na lo he assured her and she relaxed at his words.......on the other hand he got up with heavy heart and proceeded towards the door as he had nothing to say.....as he came out of hotel he stopped and looked around exhaling deep breath

Abba Itni nafrat he mumbled and his heart sank

*************

Nandini tmhe hosh bhi hai kisi cheez ka navya said hitting her with register as he saw her engrossed in work

Hua Kia hai nandini asked with a frown as she rubbed the sore area

Tmhare ghar chor ghuss aye hai tm yahan ye SB karte rho she scrunched her nose while on the other side Nandini's face turned pale at her statement

Bhabhi , bache nandini panicked thinking about her family

Bs kar do bhabhi tmhare aise baat kar rhi jese bichra bhai mil gya unhe navya said and nandini peeked thru the door to see soha and manik standing there talking...manik was telling her what agha jaan did

Btmeez....ye bhai hi hai bhabhi ka nandini slapped navya whose eyes bulged out at her statement but soon her expressions turned into distasteful one

Haan mein kese bhool gye bhabhi ka bhai aisa hi hona hai navya sat on bed cross legged while nandini glared at her

Wese nandini maza ane wala hai navya said excitedly now we will take revenge

But he is already very tensed nandini said and navya looked at him with bored expressions

Hogya tmhara....yaad hai uski waja se phone toot gya tha....kitni daant pare thi bhai se navya made her remember incident from their trip ab plan suno she said excitedly seeing nandini convinced ......they were chatting when soha came and made a face seeing them happy......she wanted to snatch every happiness from nandini as she did.....she ruined the happy days of soha bcz of her foolishness....but still soha couldn't show her dislikeness infront of everyone

Hey navya....tm kab aye she asked in pleasant tone while navya who was as much annoyed as soha plastered a smile on face few minutes back

Ok u guys talk.....I will get some snacks she said politely

Dekha bhabhi is so sweet nandini said in favour of soha to get her bhabhi in navya's good books

Right....kaash tmhe kbhi smjh ajaye she taunted mourning at Nandini's innocence

***********

Wait wait Hua Kia hai manik asked chuckling as he saw her dishing out snacks while muttering in anger.......

Nandini..... she gritted her teeth while taking her name and then started the innumerable complaints she had with nandini

She doesn't seem like that manik said looking at soha who made a face at his statement

Jitni innocent wo dekhti hai utni hai nhi nyonika spitted venom

Mene to bs aise hi kha tha he became concious not to take Nandini's side after judging soha's dislikeness towards nandini

I know tm bht ache ho...ye SB choro focus on ur husband and ur kids he patted her cheek lovingly who smiled in return

Khan hai tmhare jin he asked making soha laugh and she pointed at her room saying that kids were there

Okay...lemme spend some time with them he said taking steps towards the room

************

Prerna made such a wonderful portfolio and manik who applied in some media companies got a call for drama and the news made him so happy that he immediately dialled nyonika's number

Maa his voice vibrant and nyonika who was already missing him so much lashed out at him

Bs bht hogya manik....wapis ajao aake agha jaan se maafi maang lo tm hi...mein nhi reh skti aise she said in strict tone catching him off guard

Maa kia Kia hai mene....showbiz join karna gunah hai Kia he said in irritated tone

Aur ABBA ki to baat hi na kare.....unki ego bht bare hai nafrat karte hai wo mjhse he was very heartbroken

Nafrat nhi ghussa hai sirf nyonika helplessly whispered in low tone

Mein chota bacha to nhi......ABHI ke sath to abba ne kbhi is trah nhi kia....baap is trah to nhi karte apne aulaad ke sath in disappointed tone and nyonika could say nothing

Wo ghar abba ko Mubarak ho.....mein nhi ao ga kbhi....mein jald hi aapko bhi le ao ga apne pass

Silence prevailed on both sides and manik sat with his forehead vein pulsating......he rubbed his forehead as his happiness and excitement just flew away and he didnt feel like telling anyone about the big news

Manik why did u call nyonika asked as she remembered manik's voice at the time she picked up the call

Nothing maa....bs aise hi he said absentmindedly

Bye maa....I have to go somewhere he said and disconnected the call throwing phone on bed

***************

As nyonika pulled the cellphone away from her ear she looked at abhi....her face and eyes were red bcz of continuous effort to control her tears

I haven't seen him from 1.5 months.....mjhe bht muhabbat hai usse...kese rho uske bghar she cried as abhi held her in his arms and she broke down

I have hurt him too lekin mein Kia karo aur.....tmhare abba to kbhi nhi maane ge apni ghalti aur wo kb tak akela rhe ga hm SB se dur she said and abhi could feel pain in her voice

Ajaye ga maa.....wo bht muhabbat karta hai aapse he patted her head lovingly and let her cry her heart out
