MANAN :GIVING LIFE A SECOND CHANCE

Chapter-8

AFTER ONE MONTH

Nandini's pregnancy stage is 7th month

Nandini and Mahir's bond had become irreparable ... Mahir's day doesn't go without talking to nandini at least once vice versa for nandini as well...well who had the most favorable outcome out of this is definitely manik because Mahir has started conversing with his father more freely without any hesitation... like

FLASHBACK

Usually, manik picks Mahir from his school and drops Mahir in the park where nandini does her evening walk and manik waits for them and again picks Mahir and they both reach home but for a change, nandini informed manik that she is held back in the office and to drop him in her office ....since manik had a very important meeting he asked Aryaman to do.

Aryaman was skeptical because that would be his first time picking Mahir without manik but still obliged and went to pick him.

Mahir who saw Aryaman instead of manik did not say anything but a smile ...well that smile did say that he is comfortable that Aryaman is picking him up...

After dropping Mahir in Nandini's office where nandini was waiting for him outside the office took him to Harshad cabin

Nandini- bhai can you please keep him company I have a meeting with the department heads I will be back in an hour

Harshad- off course why not (turning to Mahir) hello Mahir

Mahir- hi

nandini(turning to Mahir)- I will try to finish the meeting as soon as possible and will meet you soon

Mahir nodded with a smile

Nandini moved to her meeting Mahir sat on the chair and Harshad was just looking at him ...

It was all a new experience for Harshad and he did not know how to deal with kids ...

Harshad- so mahir how is school

Mahir- good

Harshad(nodded)- anything else

Mahir nodded no ....and continued staring around the office

Harshad didn't know how to strike a conversation ...then suddenly

Harshad- Mahir you wanna play (Mahir nodded his head) let's go

Harshad took Mahir to the play area in the office which is near the cafeteria ...which the staff use when they have free time

The game area consisted of elder games the only game which they could play is video game

Harshad- have you ever played  video games before (Mahir nodded no) ok then let's start your training

Harshad thought him how to play ....then both started playing ...after some time both forgot their world and was completely into their game ....

Nandini who thought that Mahir is in Harshad cabin and did not find them then later on asking she came to know that they are in-game zone

On seeing them together nandini was happy ...why? because her brother never bonds with someone just like that though she knows that he is doing that for her but still it gave her unknown happiness seeing them together ...whereas for Mahir he is coming out of his shell and feeling free with more people ... putting end to her thoughts nandini thought to intervene or else it looked like both are not going to stop with their game

Nandini- is the game that interesting that you both did not notice me

Both turned towards her

Harshad- oh nandini...how did the meeting go
