Trails of Life

Chapter-12

Manik's POV

Now we ,by we I meant me ,my baby sister and my contact wife are on the way to our home, where  the girls are sleeping in the backseat and as per the plan we have traditionally married, now it is time to face the Toofan,Jaan ki ayiappa pls mujhe raksha karna.Being lawyer and interacting in court is much easier than a simple chit chat with parents with tons and tons of emotional blackmail.

"There we go girls get up we are home"for instance I felt like I am running some daycare ,my adorable behna and my contract wife are snuggling each other but I guess my admiring session can wait.

"Bhai plss just go two more rounds naa we will wake up before that"seriously I can't even pour water on her or else my baby Porsche will be wet

"Nandhini"I know my voice is too cold but they say right agar ghee seethi ungali Sai nahi nikalthi ungali ko tedi karni padthi hai same like this if not soft then it is surely cold.

"Yes sir"came a sleepy yet a scared voice

"Wake up mukthi we are near gate"

"Yes sir"some times u feel myself like some PT sir

"There you go baby uthgaya Muku baby morning coffee Barbie mug mei chahiye yaa Cinderella mug mei???"I know it was lame but for mukthi this is perfect

"Bhai bas thoda tired tha isiliye sogaya okiee zyada math baniyae, I was working like a dog for you marriage only mind it haa"she is rude but for now I can let it go cuz I have more important This in my plate.

Author's POV

Here in Mansion Raj and Cabir were discussing about their project and Cabir was explaining Raj how the main manager of Manvi  is in her break for atleast one week.But the worry in Raj's face was different

"Papa,what happened"Cabir questioned ,his voice showed concern that a son has for his father.

"It is this meeting beta, competition for this project is too much and here the manager is in delay "Raj replied but Cabir was confused

"Papa,...... before he could continue they heard someone knocking the door

"Yes!!!!"Cabir replied

"Khana thaiyar hai aunty is calling you guys"said Alya

"You go beta we will come"Raj dismissed her and said"We will talk about this later Cabir ,if we don't go now them your mother Will become reincarnation of Kaali"

Both father and son laughed together.They both started getting down the stairs

"Papa don't take me wrong but I don't like Bhai getting married to Alya , I don't know why but that idea freaks me out."His voice showed concern for is brother which can be clearly seen by Raj

"I don't know Cabir if this marriage decision is right or not but if this is best decision for Manik's life then be it happen  if not God will surely have  some other plans that neither of us can stop .Who knows even now if  brings his girlfriend to introduce to us I will gladly accept my son's decision."Raj stated funnily

"Bhai aur girlfriend...Dad I guess there is no better joke than this I guess.In bet on you dad agar Bhai have a Girlfriend she will be a super model,with no sense of family and emotions"Cabir could not stop laughing imaging Manik with a girlfriend.

"Nyo cabu and Raj came start serving them food"came dadi's voice

"Alya beta Papa kaisa hai baath hui kya unse"Raj introgated Alya and she too replied meekly and they were having a pleasant dinner ,not knowing that a huge drama is gonna happen very soon.

After dinner Malhotra family were chilling in living room that is where Manik stood with his wife beside him.All were shocked seeing him in a sherwani and a girl in lehenga beside him.Among them was a person who was fuming in anger.

"Manik who is this girl and what is happening"Nyonika asked Manik

"Mom she is my wife Nandhini"His tone was plain

What?????

"Yup we were dating for 6months and now we got married "He continued

"Don't you feel important to share this with us before getting married"Raj's voice was stern.

"So that you all could convince me to break up with Nandhini and get married to Alya am I right"His voice was still calm but we can see him getting furious each second.

"Manik that is what we have promised your mamma that you will marry her daughter,now will you go against your mamma"Dadi started her emotional blackmail.we can see a flicker of emotion in Manik's eye with he hid it quickly.

"It is you guys not me.I did not promise Jaan anything and I will never break her promise.I don't understand why all your emotional blackmail comes and ends with Jaan.If she would have been here she would have happily signed for my witness or even better she would have made my marriage a festival and you all here are questioning me knowing very well that if I say no them it is no"He spoke furiously

"Atleast say who us the girl you got married to???"Dadi asked

"She is Nandhini my wife isse zyada aur kya chahiye aap ko"He answered irritatingly

"Maa baap kon hai iski"

"She has no one except me"He answered by sliding his arms around her waist.

"Iska mathlab you have got married to an orphan"Dadi got furious

"Even your dearly poti was also an orphan till last week and you did not have any problem with her but with my wife and why is that"He know now that game is over he again won the game efficiently

Others had nothing to say and everyone left the hall except cabir, Mukti and Manan

"You are the very same Nandhini right manager of Manvi "Cabir asked but the curiosity in his time was evident

"Yes it's me "that's it simple answer with a homely voice

"This marriage is the reason for your 1week holiday"he is sketching something in his mind and being a lawyer Manik had quite an idea which is going in his head

"Yes this marriage is the reason.And sorry I can't see your presentation tomorrow and approve them even if you were given your best that's against my protocol."She started in a slow pace but ended up in a professional tone.

"How are you so sure that about what I am gonna ask "

"Don't think great a MNC like Manvi won't appoint me just like that to see and accept presentations,I have to obviously know what is going on in others mind just like you know me and Manik sir are just married under some circumstances and you are trying to act cool but in real you are very eager to know the backstory from Dida"Nandhini smirked,but Manik was shocked not because of Cabir having doubts on his marriage but Nandhini being aware of them. Mukti started laughing at cabir's expense.

"So Cabir can also shut his mouth I see, I am totally impressed"Manik said and he also started laughing

"Kyu nahi hogi impress aapki jho pathni hai"Cabir said grumpily but with a hint of tease but Manik is Manik he threw his arms around Nandhini's shoulder and started walking to the stairs and said

"Woh tho hai" shocking everyone cuz they  thought he would ignore cabir's words but he replying them happily was a shocking them to the core.
