PART 13

It's complicated

" What? No. We can't. " they shouted in unison.

" but why " Maan was surprised.

" What's the Problem ? Kyun nehi kar sakte ? " Niyonika was also surprised and shocked.

She thought for a little then asked again " Don't you guys love each other ? "

" No mom.. " Manik shouted.
Nandini didn't find any word what to say.
She is in shocked state. She didn't expect these kind of scene in her life even in her dreams.

" Nandu Nandu you say na. .." Manik shook her arms.

" hmm " ed she. " I...me... I mean we... marriage. ... suddenly. ..why. .. I mean how. .. " she was puzzled. She was short of words. She didn't get proper words.

" Nandu kuch toh bolo. " manik again shook her.
Both Niyonika and Maan looked at her for some positive response.

" Nandini beta. .. tell na...say something please " Maan placed his one hand on her shoulder.
She gazed at him blankly.

" papa... " she murmured.

Then she moved her gaze to Niyonika whose eyes were filled with tears and hope.
Then she looked at Manik. He was hell irritated with these unexpected drama.

Her eyes got shifted on his deep dark brown eyes as they were finding answers of dilemma on his eyes.

And his eyes were saying that he was pissed off.
Then she took a deep breath and said calmly " papa. .. mom. .. sorry but I am not ready for marriage now. And if I would so but it will definitely not him. ...
surely not Manik. "

" but beta. ... since your birth we have one dream... dream of making you as our daughter in law. And Raman bhaishav and Ishita...It was their last wish Nandu. " Niyonika sobbed hard.

" mom mom " Nandini hugged her. " I can understand your feelings but why don't you understand our words. ? "

Then she softly broke the hug and wiped her tears " mom... its not possible as we never thought like this. . "

"Exactly " Manik was that time little calm seeing his mother sobbing.

" but I don't get it why the hell you guys don't want to get married. ? " Maan shouted.
" If you both want time then
take it but why this rejection? "

" dad it's not about taking time and all. It's just that I never thought of her in that manner. She is my best friend and..." Manik was cut by Maan.

" don't you love her ? "

"Yes I do . Off course I do. But as a friend. Wase nehi jaise you want me to do. "
Manik replied to his dad.

" but Manik " Niyonika uttered sobbing " Nandini is perfect for you and our family. "

" off course she is mom. " Manik came and took her hands on him. " she's perfect mom. But it doesn't mean that main shaadi kar lu. And she's also doesn't want to naa. .. then. Please
samjho aap. " he wiped off her tears with his thumb.

" yes mom... Yes dad... We love each other but as best friend nothing else. And if this wedding happen na then none gonna be happy. Koi khush nehi rahega. " Nandini said coming near to
Maan.

She then softly look at Niyonika
and Manik and again stated " and jahan tak baat rahi maa and papa ka toh they didn't want us to be unhappy. They loved us very much so if today they would
alive and with us na then they also would make out this. Papa mom please stop thinking about this. It's impossible. "

"But Nandu. ... " Niyonika took a pleading step.

" mom please. Don't force us na. Please try to understand. " Manik promptly replied.

" now please enough of this discussion. Let's stop it here itself. Don't make this
more compiated. " Manik further said and left for his room leaving behind two crying oldies and one upset friend.
Nandini then also walked away from there.

" Maan what was all these ? Why they are behaving so immature? I thought one day our dreams will come to be true but... " niyonika started crying vigorously.

Maan hugged her and said

" take them some time Niyo.. They will understand. Don't cry please. Sab thik Ho jayega. We will talk to them again okk. Please calm down now. "

Maan consoled her and took her to the room.

Meanwhile Manik bedroom

Manik was hell irritated. So he thought to take a shower to get rid of these tensions.
Manik went inside the loo and stood underneath the shower. He was recalling the discussion just happened some time back. He didn't get any clue from where
his parents thought of that.

Marriage! !!

That too with Nandini. He never thought of it . Not even in his dreams.
He was literally pissed off his parents.
But the thing which was disturbing him more was
" what Nandu will think of him. "

He quickly sneaked out of the
washroom and rush towards Nandini room getting clothed. But for his disappointment she wasn't in her room.

Then he got worried and asked the servants about her. But even they were not aware of her whereabouts. He called
her but it was switched off. He started panicking about her. He ran to his parents room to find Niyonika was resting on the lavish armchair closing her eyes
and Maan wasn't there.

" mom " he called her.

She just "Hmmm"ed.

" mom. .. Nan... Nandini... do you know where is she ? " he was worried.

She neither replied nor opened her eyes.

" mom " this time his voice was little hard as his worry level is increasing.

Then Niyonika opened her eyes and looked straight into his eyes

" why do you need to know about her now ? Kya farak
parta hai tumhe ? "

" mom !!!!!" He didn't expect that from her .

" why are you talking like this ? "

" talking like what Manik ? " her voice was hard like rock that time.

" aap kahna Kya chahate ho ?
What are you talking about? " Manik asked narrowing his eyes.

" as if you don't know? " she stood up and turned to him

" Manik.. I don't know what is your bloody reason not to accept
her but I think she is best for you. And you would definitely understand this one day. "

"Mom... why are you not getting that we are not meant to be. We can't be together. I don't love her. Please stop day dreaming. " saying rudely he walked
towards the door.

"Maanik... " she called him back. He stopped and turned around.

" kuch chijon ki ahemiyat uske khone k baad hoti hai. "

she stated and he left the room.

" day dreaming !!!! Huh "

a fade sarcastic smile escaped from her heart.
