Replaced Bride

chapter 4

Manik was hesitant as nandhini is insisting him to drink the coffee.

Manik - nandhini I know you are concerned about what happened.

But you need to understand, I always feels my things as personal.

Once you drink from it, it not personal and not mine.

It's ok

Nandhini felt bad and sat down with the cup.

Manik - why not a coffee made by me.

Nandhini looked at him with shocked eyes.

Manik entered into the kitchen and started preparing coffee.

Nandhini rushed in and asked him to stop.

Nandhini - please don't do this, you are a king. Please I will prepare it for you.

Manik - you know what it's been long, even I want to know my skills.

I worked in a Cafe shop during my college days you know.

Nandhini looked surprised, even though he is royal, he never act like one.

Nandhini - smells nice

Manik smiled and gave her a cup and took the new one for him.

Both came out with smiling faces and yuvaan saw this

Yuvaan - what's happening?

Nandhini - see ma ... Maharaj made me coffee.

Manik - why again, didn't I said call me bhai.

Nandhini hesitated and didn't utter a word.

Yuvaan - nandhini come on ,no need to be shy.

Nandhini - yuvaan, don't interfere. I will call him.

Manik - come on have the coffee before it gets cold.

Yuvaan - let me have some, he forwarded his hand to nandhini.

Nandhini swiftly moved it

Nandhini - this is special, only for me.

He forwarded his hands to manik

Manik - you know I don't share.

Yuvaan - you both joined hands

Manik - yes we are on one team, he held nandhini by shoulder.

Nandhini looked at him and smiled. Yuvaan made a pout face which earned laughter from both manik and nandhini.

Manik - drink it.

Nandhini - awesome, thanks

Manik nodded his head and patted her head and went away saying he has some works.

Nandhini too took her coffee and went to her room.

She was remembering the incident of manik keeping his hand on her shoulder.

She couldn't help but feeling butterflies on stomach.

At evening

Nandhini had already booked tickets to go Philippines. She is planning move from there to some other place.

She want to disappear where no one could find her.

She saw manik down with all other, if she nicely asked before manik. He will surely let her go.

She came down and saw harika and her mother vinusha.

Nandhini got stunned and she muttered a word which is inaudible for others.
