MaNan FF - My Senior✅

39. Relations

Everyone got seated and then Cabir asked "Abhi...Can I ask you something...??"

"Sure bro..." Abhi replied.

"Why did you guys do register marriage...?? I mean you could have told your parents and got married with all the rituals...Why this hidden marriage and all...??" He asked and Manik too got alert to listen Abhi's reply.

"Cabir...Do you really think that I wouldn't have tried that...??" Abhi asked making them shock.

"Means...They didn't agree...??" Manik asked and Abhi nodded his head.

"This whole family has got this problem of nodding heads I tell you..." Manik muttered under his breath but was heard by everyone and they giggled hearing it while Nandini elbowed him, gritting her teeth.

Abhi let out a chuckle and said "I have told them that I love someone and want to get married to her but the first question they asked was about her caste..."

Nandini sighed in disbelief and looked at Abhi who shrugged his shoulders saying that the things didn't change though the generations changed.

"Caste...!!?? Like seriously..." Manik asked and looked at Abhi and then at Nandini.

"Yes Manik...That's what happened in Nandini's parents time as well..." Abhi replied and Manik remembered that Abhi is the only relative she has from her father's side.

"So...that's why..." Abhi said but Cabir again asked "But that doesn't solve the problem...How will you manage...?? One day or the other, they will get to know...and then...??"

"They will not know until we have 2 kids...and that will happen after 5-6 years...Till then I won't be coming back from the US..." Abhi replied making Mukthi blush and everyone giggle hearing his family planning already.

"But guys...You have to be careful of what you are doing..." Manik said.

"Trust me Manik...I will handle this..." Abhi assured and held Mukthi's hand who assured with her eyes.

They got dispersed after splitting the work of Cabir and Navya's engagement.

A week passed in their daily routine

Manik picked Nandini up from office in the evening and they headed home while talking about their day. Once they entered, they saw Maddy and Nyonika in the living room with Manik and Nandini's wedding album.

Maddy stood up and smiled at Nandini while she reciprocated with the same warm smile.

He went towards Manik and bent to touch his feet making Nandini shock as it was unexpected between brothers. But Manik stopped immediately with a strict face and hugged him with a small smile. Nandini looked at them as they broke the hug and Manik's face was a way stricter than anytime. She observed Maddy's body language which shows fear, respect, and in simple words, an exact replica of her when she was in her 1st year.

"Maddy...She is Nandini...Manik's wife...You haven't come to their marriage na...You guys talk, I'll just come..." Nyonika introduced and went to kitchen. Maddy stepped towards Nandini for a hug but Manik stepped in between.

"Bhabhi hai wo teri..." He said strictly making Maddy gulp.

"I...I know bhai..." Maddy mumbled and bent to touch her feet as well. She squealed and hid behind Manik suddenly making Maddy step back in surprise.

"I'm sorry...But I'm not even that elder to you..." She explained coming out from her husband's back making Maddy chuckle.

"It's ok Bhabhi..." He said and extended his hand and had a friendly handshake. He then looked at Manik's face and withdrew his hand.
