MaNan- She is to be Loved

Chapter 38- The life filled faces!

~Sorrowful they were, during her absence and the happiest they were, during her presence~

After a month!

At MruNi's Home

Nandini's Room

"Back to London? No way! She still need some more time to heal completely, Uncle. Aap aise soch bhi kaise sakthe hain?" Mrunal exclaimed with her eyes almost ready to pop out of her skull.

Shekhar let out a sigh of defeat, before taking a seat beside Nandini. "I'm not asking you to pack your bags right now, Mrunal. Mene Aadit se baath ki hai and she's fit to travel if her next scheduled checkup turns out all good." He started to feed soup to Nandini, who was staring at her father with her eyes narrow.

"And that's in two weeks. Sab teek hai tho uske baad ke ticket book karenge. In my opinion, hame Yaha nahi rehna hai. Zaroorath nahi hai." He stood up to fetch a napkin to clean Nandini's face which had soup stains.

"Jis kaam keliye Aaye the Tum dono, wo hogaya na." He stared at his daughter accusingly, who let out a sigh. "Aur aapne uss kaam keliye ham dono ko maaf bhi Kiya hai."

"Yeah, unfortunately." Nandini crooked her eyebrows which was ignored by Shekhar. "Jo bhi ho, ab mein decide Karne wala Hun. We're leaving this country for good."

And he stood up to leave the room, ending the discussion. Mrunal sprinted towards Nandini to sit beside her. "Fluffy! Tere Appa ko amnesia hai Kya? You wanted to stay here na. So tell him about it."

Shekhar ignored the girls and opened the door to move out.

"Mere bhayyus hai Yaha, Appa." Nandini voiced out, halting Shekhar. "They can come and visit you in London. I will not stop them."

"But I'm in love with Grumpy coffee."

And that statement did wonders!

Mrunal stared at Nandini with her jaws almost falling off, while Shekhar turned around to face Nandini in shock.

"Wh-what?"

Nandini let out a sigh before closing Mrunal's mouth and got down her bed with Mrunal's help.

"I'm not asking you to get me married to Grumpy coffee now. Mujhe pehle poore tareeke se teek hona hai and that might take another month or two. But yeah, I love grumpy coffee. Aur mein usse poochna chahthi Hun ki wo mere Saath London jaayega ya nahi. Aur waise bhi mujhe mere bhayyus ke Saath rehna hai. I know London is my home, but I've grown attached to this place, Appa. Aapke ye chote se jagah mein ek Ghar banaun tho mujhe aur bhi acha lagega Appa. Kyunki ab mere pariwaar ithne chote nahi hai, jaise mene pehle Socha tha."

She went and hugged her father, staying in his arms.

"Ab Ghar nahi wapas jaana Appa." She looked up at her father, who was staring down at her. "Kyunki ye jagah ab Ghar bann chuke hain."

Mrunal stared at the father daughter duo smilingly before moving out of the room and got to find Shamishti standing with tears flowing out of her eyes.

"I hope he says yes." She whispered to Mrunal who went ahead to hug her from sideways. "He will, Aunty. Finally you're home."

Shamishti patted at Mrunal's cheeks lovingly, before muttering. "We are home. All of us."
