So now they are discussing about it.

Ishita: Are you sure Nandu? Why can't you stay here?

Nandini sighed and looked at her mother.

Nandini: Mumma stop being so dramatic, I am just 10mins away from here and I will be here when you come back from trips.

Raman: But why can't you stay here.

Nandini: Papa you both are always travelling and I am left alone in this damn big house with servents and also that apartment is very close to my hospital it's easy to travel.

Ishita: We are sorry beta.

Nandini: *frowning*Why?

Ishita: Because we are not giving you enough time and attention.

Nandini shaked her head in no and hugged her.

Nandini: No mumma you don't have to apologise I understand and I am grown up enough to take care of myself so you enjoy your life.

Raman: Yes Ishu let her live her life and we are proud of you Nandu.

Nandini hugged Raman and kissed his cheek making him smile.

Raman: Just promise us one thing.

Nandini: What?

Raman: You will take care of yourself and stay her when we are here.

Nandini: Done.

Ishita:So when are you shifting?

Nandini: In two three days I guess.

Ishita: Good before that you have to arrange for pooja.

Nandini: Yeah I was thinking about that.

Ishita: I will arrange for Panditji and ask for auspicious dates for pooja.

Raman: That will be good.

Nandini: By the way when will you leave for your next tour.
