MANAN- FRIENDSHIP OR MORE

CHAPTER-8

Next morning everyone was busy in last minute preparations.
Nyonika went and checked everything including Manik's room if everything was done properly or not.

Then she came to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for Manik. Meanwhile Raj went to the airport to receive Manik.

Nyonika was very excited that her son was returning home after 2 years.
She started preparing various dishes.
Shanti was helping her when she got an idea that it is a good opportunity to reduce the differences between Nandini and Nyonika.

So she faked a headache and excused herself from the kitchen and asked Nandini to go and help Nyonika in kitchen.

Nandini happily agreed and went to the kitchen .

She asked Nyonika if she needs any help.

Nyonika was so happy about Manik's return that she didn't feel like taunting Nandini and asked her to cut the vegetables.

Nandini felt relieved that for the first time Nyonika had spoken to her in a nice way.

She started cutting the vegetables and then was doing other works assigned by Nyonika when the servant came and informed Nyonika that Raj and Manik had arrived.

On hearing this Nyonika's happiness knew no bounds. She rushed out of the kitchen after asking Nandini to do the left over work indirectly as if talking to the servant.

Meanwhile in the hall,
Raj and Manik had just entered when Nyonika came rushing and said- MANIK.

Manik turned and hugged her tightly.

Manik- Mom I missed you so much .

Saying this he lifted her.

Nyonika- Manik neeche utar mujhe chakkar aajayegi.

Manik put her down .

Nyonika- I missed you too Beta.
She had tears in her eyes.

Manik saw this and said- Mom why these tears. Look I am back. Please don't cry.

He wiped her tears.

Nyonika smiled and hugged him again.

Raj was silent all this while.

Raj had missed Manik too. First he had lost Vivek and the Manik was not with them for 2 years.

He would breakdown at times but he had to be strong for Nyonika.

So he hid his pain.

To lighten the atmosphere, Raj said- Ye kya baat Hui . Saara pyaar Maa par hi luta rahe ho aur mera kya.

Manik and Nyonika giggled hearing Raj .

Manik hugged both Raj and Nyonika together.

The servants smiled seeing their bond and blessed them silently.

Manik broke the hug and asked Mom where is Bua.

Shanti- Beta mai yahan hu.

Manik went and hugged her.

Shanti- Rehne de . Tujhe to meri koi fikr hi nai hai. Ek call nai karsakti tha mujhe. Tujhe to meri yaad hi nai aayi.

Saying this she faked anger.

Manik smiled seeing this and held his ears and said - Sorry Bua. Busy tha mai. Time hi nahi milta tha call karne ka.

Shanti melted immediately and said- Theek hai maaf kiya .

Manik side hugged her and said- Thank God. Mujhe to laga tha ki apko manane ke liye kya kya karna padega.

Shanti - Mai apne Manik SE zyada der naraz ho sakti hu kya.

Manik- Never.

Both of them laughed .

Nandini was observing all this standing at the kitchen door.

She smiled seeing everyone's bond with Manik.

Nyonika instructed the servants to put Manik's luggage in his room.

Nyonika asked Manik to freshen up and come down for breakfast.

Manik nodded and went to his room.

Done with another update.
