My Possessions

~Leaving India~

~ NANDINI ~

We were standing infront of our home which is Malhotra Mansion,but maybe we will never see this again.Soon Manik's mercedes which he had bought with his own money came there and Manik signalled me to sit first and then he made Naisha sit.I don't know what is going on in his mind.I sighed when I saw him picking up all the bags and the driver kept them safely.

Soon he to came and sat beside Naisha who kept her head on her daddy dearest's chest.I smiled a little.It was the most purest bond I have ever seen in my life.I had experienced it too.In the whole house I was the closest with my father.Huff!Even Manik was but a little more with Maa.I don't know why they did that?But I m sure there must be a reason.

I looked back from window when I felt a hand on my waist from back and it was Manik,I was going to talk but he asked me to be quite as Naisha was sleeping.I smiled at my daughter and she snuggled more in her father.Manik kissed my head from up moving a bit and I closed my eyes falling in his arms lightly not putting my weight on Nia.Manik pulled me a little closer and I let the sleep engulf myself.

I opened my eyes at some voice and saw that Manik was waking me up.He gestured me to out and I saw it was Murthy Mansion.He picked up Naisha and with the movements she woke up.We went in and my parents stood their shocked with our whole luggage.

"Nandu Manik beta ye sab kya hai?"Mumma asked as we entered in and I shrugged my shoulders's tiredly."Nandini u go and rest mai sab bata dunga."Manik said but I nodded in no and taking Naisha sat in living room.Manik followed us after telling Mumma and Papa to join us.

They all sat and we enquired about Mukti and bhai but they both had gone to do some work related to office.Manik then narrated the whole thing and atlast went and sat near their legs.He took their hands in his and said with tears in his eyes.Only I knew how he was controlling himself from crying.I wiped my tears and concentrated on him.

"Mom dad I know mujhe ye nahi bolna chahiye but shayad apne maa baap ke liye hum mar gaye hai.Maybe vo hume kabhi nahi dekhna chahte.Amd I m okay with it.Aaj mai aap logo se request kr rha hu.Please aaj ke din hume yaha rehne dijiye iske baad mai meri jaan aur mera bacchha hum teeno sabki zindagi se chale jayenge.Maine saari arrangements kr di hai hum subah jayenge but mai aap sab ke touch mai rahunga just don't stop us from leaving.Mai sab kuch naya start Krna chahta hu.And uske liye mujhe aapke aashirwad chahiye."

Saying all this Manik looked at them hopefully and they smiled."Hume pata nahi beta Ronit ne aisa kyu kiya pr hum tumhara saath zaroor denge.I trust u with my daughter."Papa said and I finally smiled my full smile.

"Aur ye tumhara hi ghar hai tumhe yaha rehne ke liye permission lene ki jaroorat nahi hai.Samjhe?"Mom asked pinching his ear and Manik smiled.He nodded and came to me."U trust me na will u come with me?"Manik asked to me and I nodded."I trust u with my life Manik."He smiled to his fullest and I sighed in relief.I knew it was his real smile.Whenever I would say that I trust him he would smile to his fullest.For him trust was more than love.

Soon we went up and I made Nia freshup who went to play.Manik layed on the bed and smiled.I went to him and and ruffled his hair to which he opened his eyes and I kissed his eyes and godhead.He hugged me through my waist and his face got hidden in my pallu of my saree.I ruffled his with one hand coz I knew he needed me.He needed a good sleep.Soon he slept and with him my eyes too drifted shut.

Nandini woke up at nearly 7 and carefully freeing herself from Manik she went down after getting fresh.She greeted Ishita and Mukti and started helping them.Mukti and Abhi knew everything.At first Mukti being Mukti didn't listen to anyone and was going to confront her parents but on Raman's stern order she kept quite.Raman made her understood that there must be some matter which they don't want to share and they will share it when time comes.And for now it is better if Manik and Nandini would leave apart to start a everything new.

Mukti agreed seeing her brother's condition and kept quite.She was peeling off the boiled potatoes to make pakoras while Ishita was making chutney."Aap log kya bana rahe hai?"Nandini asked and both the ladies looked back."We are making pakoras baby.Tum ye talte hi inhe leke apne room mai jao aur Manik ko khila do.Subah se bichara bhuka hai."Ishita said and Nandini nodded.

"Acchha vaise Nia kaha hai?"Nandini asked and this time Mukti replied."Vo Abhi Nia ko aur Aayush ko park le gaya hai."Nandini nodded and soon taking the pakoras she went to her room to wake up Manik.

"Manik..Mani..Manikk utho dekho it's already evening aur abhi thodi der mai Nia aayegi to tumhare baare mai puchegi."Nandini said ruffling his hair and he slowly opened his eyes.He smiled looking at her and got up finally letting the tiredness go off his body.

He came after freshning up and both had the pakoras with some emotional moments where they had enjoyed these evening snacks with Ronit and Rohini.Soon Naisha came and Manik had to answer all her innocent questions by making some stories.The night went by and the morning arrived.

Maybe the last morning in India!!
