MANAN- FRIENDSHIP OR MORE

CHAPTER-2

Nandini hugged that person for a long time and the person kept patting her head. Nandini felt a little relieved and broke the hug.
The person then asked Nandini to relax and have some food as she didn't have food last night also and that she will fall weak if she keeps skipping meals just for the sake of such mean people.

At first Nandini refused and then after a lot of insistence from that person she had a little food.

That person asked Nandini not to take too much stress about such things and said that god cannot be so harsh upon her and that soon she will be relieved of all these tortures and will be able to lead a happy life.

That person was her Vivek's aunt( bua) Shanti. She was a widow as well and stayed at her brother's (Raj Malhotra) house. Raj loved his sister a lot but Nyonika didn't like her a bit as she always had an upper hand over Nyonika regarding the family matters.

Shanti liked Nandini a lot and always stood by her in everything.

Coming back to the story ,

After eating Nandini went to the terrace to get some fresh air and sat there for a long time thinking of how her life changed so quickly.

FLASHBACK:

A peak into Nandini's past-
She was a fun loving, care free girl who used to live life to the fullest .
Though she was not rich but still her mother fulfilled all her wishes even before she said it .

Her mother was a school teacher and they lived in a small bungalow which her father had left for them before dying.
Though her mother was a single parent , yet she never made her realize her father's absence.
Both of them were each other's world.

One day Shanti spotted Nandini at a temple and liked her instantly.
Shanti meet Nandini's mother and asked Nandini's hand for Vivek .
Her mother met Vivek and liked him instantly so she said yes.

Shanti on the other hand convinced Raj and even he said yes as he had full confidence on his sister's choice. And about Vivek he was bowled over by Nandini's beauty and innocence.
But Nyonika was against this marriage as she felt that Nandini's family status doesn't match to their status and she cannot be an ideal daugter in law to the Malhotra's.
But Raj and Vivek didn't agree to this. So she had to give in to their demand.

Nandini and Vivek got married eventually but Nyonika didn't accept Nandini wholeheartedly.

Nyonika tried every trick to keep Nandini away from Vivek.
On the wedding night she pretended to fall sick and Vivek being a good obedient son took care of his mother.
The next day she sent Vivek to London by saying that their company would suffer great loss if he doesn't go and fix the problem there.
Vivek half-heartedly agreed. He wanted to take Nandini along with him but Nyonika made some excuse and didn't allow that to happen.
