Love Just Happens

Part-8 Beginning of a new journey!

Murthy Mansion

As soon as Nandini entered, she saw her mother waiting for her.

Nandini: Hey mom, what happened? You look worried?

NM: Nothing beta. Your dad was worried. He thought that you took your car but you didn't.

Nandini: Ohh...so where is he?

NM: In the Study. Go and meet him. He is waiting for you only.
Nandini moved towards study.

Nandini: Hey dad...she went and hugged him.

ND: Nandu beta, how was your day? Did you enjoy?

Nandini: Yes dad I enjoyed and the day was awesome.

ND: Hmm...so tomorrow is a big day for you.

Nandini: Yes dad. By the way mom said you wanted to meet me.

ND: Yes I was. Coz I'm upset with you.
He said faking sadness.

Nandini: But Why? Did I do something wrong?
She got worried.

ND: Yes, you did.
Nandini was shocked.

Nandini: WHAT??

ND: Why do you always travel by public transport when we have so many cars?
She got confused.

Her dad observed her expressions and then said, "From tomorrow, you will go by car."

Nandini: But dad, I don't know how to drive.

ND: Don't worry about that. I have already arranged a driver for you.

Nandini: But dad I don't want to depend on anyone. I love to travel by auto. I have no problem.

ND: But I have, because autos are not safe at night. So its my order.

Nandini: Okay dad, as you say. She nodded.

ND: That's my good girl.
He smiled and side hugged him.

Nandini's mom enters..

NM: If you are done with your father daughter talk, Nandu beta go and sleep. Tomorrow is a big day for you. So you should have a sound sleep.

She nodded and turned to go when she remembered something she wanted to ask.

Nandini: Maa, when is Rishab coming? I'm dying to meet him.

NM: He'll come by tomorrow afternoon. Now you go and sleep.

With this she left the study and moved upstairs.

Nandini changed and went to bed.
She laid down and started rewinding about what all happened today. She took out her phone and started reading her conversation with Manik. An unknown smile on her face. But then she remembered Abhi's words, "Stay away from him".

" Pata ni why was Abhi warning me to stay away from Manik. He was so sweet and kind", Nandini thought.

"Offo...Nandini stop thinking about him. He was just a stranger.".
She shook away her thoughts and went to sleep with mixed feelings.

Malhotra Mansion

Manik was tuning his guitar and was lost in Nandini's thoughts. He was thinking about his conversation with her when suddenly he remembered about Abhimanyu.
