Malhotra House

They say family which is joint stays happy most of the time. They share their worries, happiness, sadness together, they are always there for each other. But sometimes these relations faces ups and downs and if one doesn't have trust there are high chances of losing that person along with the charm that the people have in the house.

Same situation can be seen in Malhotra house. After Manik and Nandini left the house, whole house had lost their charm.

Sneha being pregnant was not at all helping them, she had health issues and high chances of this pregnancy being a failure. But yet, whole family was trying to help her in some or the other situation, taking care of her.

"Vikram, Sneha ko yeh dudh de do." Neonika said to Vikram who was reading something on the mobile sitting on the couch.

"Maa, aap dedo na. Mujhe upar nahi jana abhi." She sighed and moved up to his room where his pregnant was sleeping.

As she entered she saw the room to be messed up. Clothes on the chair, towel on the bed, some papers lying down here and there.

"Sneha utho, yeh dudh pee lo." She shook her eho woke up immediately and settled to have milk. Her baby bump could be seen slightly.

Neonika started cleaning the room. She was already tired of doing all the work on top of that her menopause was irritating her a lot.

After cleaning everything she moved out and settled on a chair looking at the photo hung on the wall. It was a family picture of all the members.

She missed her son and wife. She missed the presence of Manik and Nandini in the house. Not because she had to do all the worm but their presence would light up the house.she cried as her hormones kicked.

"Kyun unke liye rona Neonika? Jo kabhi bhi apne mata pita ka nahi sochte?" Mr. Malhotra entered amd settled down offering her water.

"Galti toh humari hai na? Humne uspe vishwas nahi kiya. Humari vajah se woh dono nahi hai yahan." She cried looking at him.

"I want them back. Kuch bhi karo par mujhe mera beta aur bahu vapas chahiye. I want them back." He hugged her side ways trying to give her the support in her emotional turmoil.

This was seen by Vikram and dadi who were sitting there doing their work. Vikram somewhat felt bad seeing his parents like this but he couldn't do anything.

Sharma House

"Usko vaisa karna hi nahi chahiye tha. Ab saari ungliyan humare upar uthegi. Humarw parvarish par question kiya jayega." Nandini's mother cried infront of her husband who had informed her about the situation.

Navya had entered inside knowing that she cannot interfere. Even if she did there are high chances of her facing the consequences.

"Usne jo kiya so kiya. Lekin Malhotra ji aise karenge maine socha nahi tha. Kisi ladki pe charitra (character) par ungli uthayenge. Kash main uss din hota sab clear karne ke liye." Her father said getting up from the corner and moved to freshen up.

Her mother side and took the phone which was lying down on the bed. She dialled Nandini's number and let it ring until the call was received by her.

"Hello, maa. Kaisi ho aap?"

"Theek hun. Maine bas yahi kehne ke liye call kiya tha ki, jo bhi tumne kiya so kiya lekin agar jyada soch samjh kar karti toh accha hota. Aaj pata chala ki hum tumhe woh seekh nahi de paye jo deni chahiye thi. Apne parivar ko sambhalne ke bajay usko tod diya tumne Nandini."

"Maa? Aapko bhi yahi lagta hai?..."

"Nandini, sab kuch toh samne hai. Jaise tumne react kiya..." She was cut down when Nandini interrupted her.

"Maa, bhale hi maine galat kiya ho lekin maine khudke liye kiya hai. Apni self respect ke liye kiya. Aur aap please aise baat karke mere faisla badalne ki koshish mat kariye. Aap chahti ho toh main mafi mange ko taiyar hun par uss ghar jahan mujhpe bharosa nahi hai uss ghar mein main kabhi ja nahi paungi."

Saying so she cut the call leaving her mother in dis-stress. How long will it take her to understand this? That's what was going in her mother's mind. She just hoped everything get's sort out and it becomes normal.

Nagpur (MaNan flat)

Nandini was sitting in the corner thinking about her mother's words, her father's words. Was it really her mistake? Was she not correct if saving her self respect? Was she to be blamed for breaking the family? Was she to be blamed for making Manik away from his family?

May be she was wrong taking an abrupt action but still she knew ehat she did was for only her self respect. Never knew this thing in society would have a greater impact.

The tears had formed in her eyes. From every corner the issues were hitting her as if she was a punching bag. One, her college ISAs, second, her relation with her husband. Third, her own family blaming her for the situation. It was too much for her to handle.

Manik who entered the house saw her crying which made him worried. He quickly moved towards her amd settled beside her.

"Hey! Kya hua? Tum... Tum ro kyun rahi ho?" He asked worriedly only to make her realise inspite of all the issues he stood beside her. She can never be grateful to god for this precious gift.

"Manik, if you want... We can go home." She whispered making him frown.

"What?" His lips unknowingly mumbled the word. She looked at him and held his hand.

"I'm sorry, that you had face what my father said to you. I'm sorry that you had to leave your family because of me. I don't want you to stay away from your family. I don't want to break it. You are precious to them. So may be we can settle this thing and shift back."

He sighed listening her words. She had hopes, she was frustrated from hearing the blames. Frustrated from the indirect taunts.

"Nandini, remember one thing. When we got married we had promised to be with each other in every up and down. Also remember one thing, you are also precious to your family. Yet you left from own family at marriage where you were born and brought up. Ghar tumne choda tha us din aur aaj maine."

He was trying to tell her that she doesn't need to change her decision. Though he was angry at her but he did understand her point of view. He knew what his family perception are.

"Aur rahi baat vapas jane ki. Uski zarurat nahi hai. Infact I cannot change or ask them to have a transfer again. So it's better to live here only. Aur jo bhi difference humare family ke beech mein hai, voh sari dur ho jayengi. Hmm?" She nodded her head and hugged him trying find the solace.

He just wrapped his arms around her to give hee the assurance that he is there for her. 

Later in the evening Manik and Nandini were having tea when Manik's phone rang. It displayed the house number which made both of them anxious. He was going to decline the call when Nandini told him to pick it up.

"Hello" He mumbled a slow greeting over the phone. Nandini sitting beside him staring at him made him little anxious too.

"Kaise ho?" It was Neonika. He bit his lower lip controlling himself from loosing the calm.

"Theek hun. Aap batao, aap kaise ho? Aur ghar par?"

"Hona kaise hai humne? Tum dono ghar nahi ho. Vaise toh hai jee rahe hai par tum dono ke jaane ke baad mahol thoda ajeeb sa hai. Nandini kaisi hai?" She asked making Nandini little surprised.

"Theek hai. Baat karni hai?" Manik asked to which Nandini's eyes widened she shook her head. She didn't know what to talk to her. Manik passed his phone to Nandini once getting positive reply from his mother. Nandini gulped her saliva and finally spoke.

"Hello, kaisi ho aap?"

"Theek hun. Tum dono ki bahut yaad aati hai. Nandini, beta jo bhi hua uske liye main mafi mangti hun. Ik, bahut late ho gaya mafi mangne mein par hinmat jutane ki koshish mein thi. Ho sake toh hume maaf kar do aur ghar vapis aa jao tum dono. Please." Nandini didn't know what to say, she was numb. Even if she agreed how would she deal the situation when she moved back?

She passed the phone back to Manik and got lost in her own world. Manik continued to talk to her for few minutes and cut the call. He looked at Nandini and thought to change the mood.

"Madam, khana khilane ka irada hai ki nahi? Bhuka marna nahi hai maine." She frowned listening him. Her gaze fell on the watch to see it's almost 6:30 which says, only 2 hours to have dinner.

"Vahan kya dekh rahi ho? Chalo! Let's make food. Aaj jaldi kha ke sote hai." She sighed at his desperate sight and decided to give in.

"Chaliye!"

They cooked the dinner with helping each other and enjoyed their dinner. They were going to sleep when Manik nuzzled in her neck which gave only one indication to Nandini. As she sas sleeping on her left side she turned to face him.

The past few days being hectic had only strain in their relationship. Had Manik being an arrogant one this situation at this point would have been different. With the passing time they explored their new feelings and love for each other.

Stopping here with the abrupt ending. This chapter might sound off here and there but can't help it.
My mind isn't working all these days, hope you guys understand.

That's it from my side.

This may or may not be my final good bye. I'm not giving hopes to you all. Because I don't know when I will be back as I mentioned before.

Thank you for all your support.

Good bye! 👋
