MANAN- FRIENDSHIP OR MORE

CHAPTER -19

Nandini's leg was slowly recovering. But still she was limping.

Manik and Shanti took extra care of Nandini and made sure that she doesn't stress her leg too much.

Manik used to bring food for Nandini in her room itself.

Two days passed by in the same manner.

It was now time to go to Amritsar.

Nyonika packed Manik's bag despite protests from him that he will do it himself.

Manik - Mom mai khud pack karlunga. Mai bachcha those hi na hu. Please ap Rehne dijiye.

Nyonika - Shh..... Chup chap se waha baitho aur mujhe apna kaam karne do. Tum kitne bhi bade kyun na hojao. Mere liye hamesha Bachche hi rahoge.

Manik made a pout and sat down helplessly and let Nyonika do all the packing.

Meanwhile Shanti and Nandini too packed there bags.

Shanti to Nandini - Chalo finally mai Amritsar jaa rahi hu. Bahut si yaadein Judi hai meri us jagah se.

Nandini - Aap fir se wo yaadein taaza karpayegi .

Shanti lost in thoughts- Hmmm.....

A servant came and said- Aap logon ko Nyonika Madam bula rahi hai neeche.

They went down and saw Manik with Nyonika.

Nyonika to Manik - Beta apna khayal rakhna aur khana time se khana.

Shanti - Ap fikar mat karo mai hu na uska khayal rakhne ko.

Nyonika - Hmm... Aur Haan Beta wo Lata se Sara sambhal kar rehna. Bahut bak bsk karti hai wo. Chipku hai par dil ki achchi hai.

Manik bent down and touched Nyonika's feet and Nyonika blessed him.

Then Nandini came forward to touch Nyonika's feet but Nyonika said- Chalo jaldi karo flight ka time horaha hai.

Saying this Nyonika moved away from there.

Nandini felt bad with this act of Nyonika.

Manik didn't observe this as he was busy on his phone.

But Shanti saw this and assured with her eyes to Nandini that everything will be Ok.

Nandini smiled lightly and all three of them left to the airport in the car.

They reached the airport and Manik took all the luggage and went inside. Nandini and Shanti followed him.

They completed the formalities and boarded the flight.

It was the first time that Nandini was traveling by plane.

As soon as the plane took off she immediately held Maniks hand tightly.

Manik looked at her and saw that she had her eyes closed tightly and fear clearly visible on her face and a smile crept on his face.

Manik let her hold his hand eventhough she was digging her nails in his skin.

After sometime Nandini realised that she had held Manik's hand and left it immediately.

Nandini - Sorry. Wo hum..... Hume.....

Manik - It's Ok Nandini i can understand. You don't have to be sorry. It happens.

Nandini nodded her head .

After almost two and a half hours, they reached Amritsar.

Lata, the caretaker of the orphanage had come to receive them .
