A BROKEN ANGEL AND A WOUNDED PRINCE

CHAPTER 39

Manik POV

Today is Dhruv and Alya's wedding date announcement party and I am very happy for them that they  are finally going to settle down in their life and they will be united just in two weeks. But I have two main reason to be happy and I think I never felt this happy before in my life. First, that my father came back India after five years to attend wedding and second everything is going great between me and Nandini. I don't know how to say but I think everyday spending with her feel good. Every minute with her I feel myself stress free and alive. I don't know what change in her but she really is different with me being herself all the time. I can see her smiling more without those stressed lines on her beautiful face.  She laughs with me, she smile with me ,she flirts back with me increasing my happiness everyday.

I think whatever I have for her is something very strong stronger than any attraction and affection and I don't mind even a bit. I am now used to accepting this feelings, being with her feel so different. And to say it I always have this stupid smile on my face 24x7.

ohh!!! how I love every day knowing her and getting closer..

''Manik, your father is already here?''Buasahaab informed with a smile and my already smiling face turned into a stupid grinning one realizing that finally I am going to see my dad and buasahaab smiled with satisfaction.

''may I know the reason of you smiling too much nowdays?'' she teased and I bit my lips to control another smile and walked out ignoring her.

did I blush there now?

oh God!!! Nandiniii........

''dad!!!!'' I called him reaching the living area but there was no one except servants one of them confronted me and informed he went to study with Uncle Brij and i rolled my eyeson my dad's workholism.  I rushed towards study and halted at the door step seeing my dad and uncle brij indulge in some deep conversation so I cleared my throat to get their attention, their head snapped at my direction and my father's eyes met mine. I felt all the emotions rushed into my veins reaching my eyes so as his but soon the emotions from his eyes fade turning into cold one like always and my heart dropped thinking he is still the same and I can leave the hope that anything  can be get normal between us. But still I love him after everything. He is my dad forgod sake.

I smiled at my dad and he acknowledge it with a simple nod and this gesture hitted my chest hard but this time his eyes is not as cold as before. i turned to see uncle brij who gave me a sympathetic smile which I hate.

''come Manik!!sit.'' uncle brij call out for me trying to decrease the tension between father and son. I nodded at him and took my seat across from my father who is now busy reading some magzines and i took that moment to study his appearance. He aged more than the last year I saw him in london ,he still manged too look handsome and intimidating at this age but now he is looking a little week. Isnt he taking care of himself? is he stressing himself too much or he started drinking again? Soon this thoughts started to concern me and I blurted out taking him off guard.

''Arent you taking care of yourself dad? how you have been doing?'' I asked softly in my concerned filled voice and my father shifted on his place uncomfortably because he isnt used to of someone caring about himself since long time.

''excuse me!!'' uncle brij observing the situation excused himself and we didn't bother to reply him.

''uhmm!! yeah why?'' he answered a little awkwardly after clearing his throat.

''well you didnt look though?'' i replied.

''well you dont need to bother I have best medical staffs and house keepers in london to take care of me.'' well it stabbed right in the heart.  But how to make him understand there is no medical science and housekeepers can do better than lloved ones.
