MANAN- HER SECOND CHOICE ✓

THE SHOPPING

Nandini finally woke up from her slumber when she heard that stupid ugly sound of the table clock, she opened her red eyes because she had been crying whole night because her mother words just sank deep in her head and they are not ready to go out. She didn't even tried to send them out  because she wanted to feel what her mother wanted her to feel.

She got up from the bed and off the alarm clock. Forgetting everything she just decided to start her day as usual without any tension and without displaying her emotions because somewhere she had come to know yesterday that her wish doesn't matters to her mother, she want her to live like any other women, who just live for their husband and family and then die for the same people. She felt bad though but somewhere she knew that she doesn't even have the right to be sad because she call for it herself.

After getting ready she went out holding her helmet....she was humming a beautiful tune when her eyes fall on someone, her would be husband who was talking and laughing with his mother in law. She squeezed her eyes shut in annoyance and again look at them. She was wearing according to the dresscode of the channel. She walk forward and soon reached near them.

"What's happening here guys?? Rishi you didn't told me that you're coming over today." She try to sound happy.

"Nandini where are your manners? Touch his feet and who told you that you're gonna adress damad ji with his name.....call him something that elders won't feel bad." Her mother scolded and nandini felt extremely fragile from inside as her tears were just threatened to fall down. She had been never in this kind of position where she had to feel embarrassed before the guests.

Being embarrassed she didn't looked up and hearing the scolding sound her father approached them from another side,"why ashwini?? Why you're scolding my princess?? If she's doing something wrong according to you then you can just make her understand. Is it good to scold her before others??" Anand said looking at rishi. He was smiling a little. Ashwini kept mum and touch nandini cheek. She just smile fakely and went out without having her breakfast and rishi strode after her in order to approach her.

"Hey young woman, just hold on. Don't worry whatever happened inside was just normal. No need to feel like this." Rishi said holding her elbow and nandini just look at him turning partly through her shoulder.

"It's so new to me....my mother had never done anything like this to me before and nowdays she is acting all wierd. Is she really eager to send me away or i am doing right. Rishi I don't know what you feel about me but let me clear you one thing here that i am doing this marriage just because of my parents sake and i still need time. I am not someone who can be bound with other things leaving my career so easily." Nandini try to be polite and calm but her tear of anger slide out from her already red eyes.

"Hey calm down, i am not gonna dominant you in any way. You're free to live your life. My parents won't bother you. I really wanna marry you nandini." Rishi said holding her hand and nandini take his hand between her plams and said slowly.

"I know..... that's why i said yes for this marriage but somewhere i am feeling that your parents are manipulating my mom because she is behaving according to them."

"I will talk to my parents as soon i reach my house. Now don't worry and let's go for the shopping." Rishi said wiping her eyes with his thumb and nandini smiled a little.

"Rishi if you don't mind then can we go to shopping after my shoot, it will barely take one hour and it's very important because i am the only youth reporter in my team so they want me because of my young age and matter is serious, it's a about a badly burnt bride, she committed suicide because of dowry. I just hate those people who mostly do business in marriage. Cheap and selfish people." Nandini stated her point of view and rishi smiled and take her to her office building and wait outside for one hour.
