MANAN- FRIENDSHIP OR MORE

CHAPTER -29

Manik's p.o.v-

I was sleeping peacefully when my sleep was disturbed by the constant buzzing of my phone alarm.

I got up and went to the washroom, had a shower and wore a T-shirt and blue jeans and went down to have breakfast.

Mom and Dad were already seated on the breakfast table.

And as usual Bua and Nandini were serving.

I rolled my eyes and said - Aap dono sudhroge nahi na. Kitni baar kaha hai ki ye sab kaam karne ke liye servants hai. Par aap log meri baat sunte kaha ho.

Bua said - Nahi beta aisa nahi hai....

Nai nai aisa hi hai..... meri baat kyu sunoge aap log. Hum aapke hai kaun?

Bua laughed at my filmy dialogue and ruffled my hair and said - Theek hai Nautanki baithti hoon mai .

Saying this she sat beside me.

I looked at Nandini. She was still serving Mom.

Bua said - Nandini Beta tum bhi baitho na.

Nandini said - Nai Buaji aap log khaoye mai baad me khalungi.

Saying this she was about to go to the kitchen.

I found only one way to make her eat.

So I said - Theek hai Bua jaane do Nandini ko.

Aur Haan Nandini Ek aur baat Agar I want all the family members to be present for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Sab sath me khayenge aur Agar ek bhi member missing raha to mai bhi nahi khaunga. Sab dhyan se sunlo.

And ye rule abse start hota hai.

I looked at her and said all this.

She was in a dilemma.

I said - Nandini soch kya rahi ho. Aake baitho chup chap.

Ab aarahi ho ya mai uth jau khana chodke.

She looked at me and said - Nai Aap mat utho. Mai aati hu.

Saying this she came and sat beside Bua.

I smiled at my small victory.

All of us finished eating peacefully as Miss.Trouble maker was out of town for two days.

After breakfast,Dad left to office.

I asked Mom to be ready by afternoon as I had planned a treat for the ladies of the house because I had got my dream assignment.

Nandini tried to make excuses but I eventually convinced her.

Mom went to attend a call and Bua and Nandini went to their rooms.

I thought it as a perfect time to ask Nandini about the designs.

Abhimanyu had said that Nandini has a collection of designs which she used to make as she was interested in Fashion designing and she always keeps the book with her.

So I went to her room and knocked at the door.

She opened the door slightly and got surprised seeing me and said - Aap yahan.... Kuch kaam tha kya?

I said - Haan kaam toh tha but yahin darwaze Par hi sab puch logi.

Hearing this she opened the door completely and I went inside.

I saw that she was hiding something behind her so I asked her - Nandini kya chupa rahi ho. Dikhao mujhe.

She didn't show me what was in her hand.
