"Hey mom good morning. "
Manik walked to the lawn rubbing his
sleepy eyes.
"Good morning. So rockstar finally
showed up haan " Niyonika teased her
ever late riser son.
"Hmm" ed he and sat beside her.
"Dad left for office?" he asked and lift the
juice glass.
"Hmm 1 hour back. " Niyonika replied
busy with her article.
She runs two NGO's.
"Achacha. .. where is Nandu? " he asked
as he was not getting any
trace of her in the whole mansion.
"She also left." Niyonika absentmindedly
replied.
"WHAT ??? " he spat the juice and
exclaimed " SHE LEFT? ? WHY? ?
WHEN? ?"
"Manik..." she chuckled as he splashed on
her papers. " kya kia tumne ?? Ruined all
my papers. "
"But mom why she left? And why don't
you guys informed me? ? " Manik was
still in shock.
"Areee what are you talking about. ? She
went office. Office gayi gai wohh. With
dad. " this time Niyonika shouted .
"office? ?? But why?" He could not resit
it.
" as because she is a responsible mature
and independent girl. Unlike others late
riser fools. " Niyonika sternly replied and
left with her papers.
"This girl na... she will never change. "
Manik sighed and jumped on the
swimming pool.

Office

The board meeting was on. Nandini's
business skills and smartness impressed
all the other members. When they were
appreciating her Maan's eyes were full of
pride.
After the meeting Maan was in his cabin
when Mr.Saxena entered. After sharing
formal greetings Mr. Saxena said "Mr.
Malhotra .. That girl Is your late friend
Raman's daughter ??"
Maan nod hearing tht "late " word.
Mr. Saxena - " if you don't mind then I
have a proposal for her. "
Maan's eyes became narrow . "What
kind of ? ?"
Mr. Saxena- "Actually I have a proposal of
marriage of my son Harshad with
Nandini. "
Maan was hell shocked.
After composing himself he replied " it's
very nice of you but she is not ready for
getting married now. So.. it is not
possible possible.
Mr. Saxena- "Malhotra.. I am not saying
that she will loose her freedom after
marriage. She can do what she will want
to. It's just that we were searching for a
perfect bride for my son and seeing her I
find her perfect. "
Maan sighed. He was not getting any
word. It was so unexpected. He should
discuss with Niyonika about it first. And
over all it was hell impossible.
" umm.. thanks Saxena. But I think I
should discuss with my family first. Then
only I can give you any reply. Please try
to make it. "
Mr. Saxena- "Okk it's great. Then I will
wait for your call." Saying he left his
cabin leaving behind a tensed confused
Maan.
