MANAN- FRIENDSHIP OR MORE

CHAPTER -58

Hi guys...

I am here with another update.

Manik and Nandini were in conversation with some guests when their attention was drawn towards the stage where Raj was standing with Shanti holding a mike in his hand.

Raj- Ladies and Gentlemen... May I have your attention please ....

Everyone gathered before the dias .

Raj- Thank you... I would like to make an important announcement. Aaj Maine infact humne(He pointed towards Shanti) ek important decision liya hai Jo mai aap sab se share karna chahta hoon.

Manik Nandini tum dono yahan aao .

Manik and Nandini looked at each other and went to Raj and Shanti.

Manik - Kya baat hai Dad .

Raj - So my dear friends, zyada suspense na rakhte hue mai announce karta hoon ki mere sabhi properties ko mai Manik aur Nandini ke naam karta hoon.
Nandini will be holding 51% share of the entire property and Manik will get 49%.

Nyonika and Soha's eyes widened in shock hearing this unexpected announcement of Raj.

Everyone except Nyonika and Soha clapped on this announcement and congratulated Manik and Nandini one by one.

Nyonika and Soha's reaction was noticed by Nandini who herself was shocked with this decision of Raj.

She knew that Nyonika won't be happy as she didn't like Nandini a bit and on top of it Raj's decision to give a major portion of his share to her.

Nandini to Raj - Papaji ye karne ki kya zarurat thi. I mean mujhe ye property nahi chahiye. Mujhe to aapka aur Mummyji ka Ashirwad Miljaye yehi kafi hai mere liye. Fir yeh sab???

Raj- Beta ye hamari taraf se aashirwaad samajh kar hi rakhlo. Aur Haan. Aur ek cheez, tumhare fashion house ka kaam almost hogaya hai . To tum jab chahe tab resume karsakti ho office jana.

Nandini - But Papa......

Raj- Lagta hai tumhe mera gift pasand nahi aaya.

Saying this Raj faked disappointment.

Nandini- Nahi aisi baat nahi hai. Aap please dukhi mat hona.

Manik heard all this and said- Nandini I think you should accept Dad's gift warna wo naraz hojayenge aur unhe mañana mushkil hojayega.

Saying this Manik looked at Raj and winked and in turn Raj winked back.

Nandini - But Manik hum itni badi responsibility nahi lesakte. Aap log samajhte kyu nahi.

Manik - Nandini hum haina tumhari help karne ke liye. So what's the problem.

Nandini selfthought - Ab kaise batau mai apko ki problem kya hai.

Saying this she looked at Nyonika who was fuming in anger.

Raj- Nandini tum zyada mat socho. I am sure you can handle this responsibility very effectively. Ab jao Jake rest karo as most of the guests have left.

Nandini nodded and left from there lost in thoughts.

Raj turned towards Manik and said- Beta tumhe to koi problem nahi hai na ki Maine Nandini ko tumse zyada share diya hai meri property me.

Manik - Comeon Dad.... Kaisi baatein kar rahe ho aap. Mujhe kya problem hogi bhala. Agar aap Saari property bhi Nandini ke naam kardete tab bhi mujhe koi problem nahi hoti.

Raj- Yahi umeed thi mujhe tumse . I am proud of you my son. Hamesha aise hi rehna.
Nandini ne bahut saha hai ajtak. Maine Dekha hai usey rotey hue Par mai chahkar bhi Kuch nahi karpata tha. Par Ab tum ho Uske sath. Hamesha Uske saath khade rehna Beta. Kabhi usey akele mat chodna.

Manik - Ji Dad. Mai hamesha Nandini ka sath doonga.
Don't worry.

Raj hugged Manik and patted his back.

Shanti who was observing all this said - Aap dono bhi na kahi bhi emotional talks me lag jaate ho.

Manik broke the hug and looked at Shanti.

Shanti - Beta mujhe Lagta hai tumhe Nandini ke sath waqt bitana chahiye naki hamare sath.

Manik - Bua aap bhi na.

Nyonika came to Raj and said- Ye apne kya kardiya. Kya zarurat thi Nandini ko Manik se zyada share dene ki.

Raj ignored Nyonika and said- Manik Tumhari Bua theek keh rahi hai. Jao tum bhi jaake rest karo. Thak gaye hoge na.

Manik - Ji Dad. Good night Mom,Dad and Bua.

Raj and Shanti - Good Night Beta.

While Nyonika gave a faint smile to Manik.

Manik went back to his room but found Nandini missing.

Manik asked one of the servants and said- Nandini Madam ko Dekha hai ???

Servant - Ji Baba. Wo guest room me hai apni Maa ke sath.

Manik - Theek hai tum jao.

Servant nodded and left.

Manik selfthought - Should I go there??? No it won't be nice. Pata nahi Aunty kya sochegi aur fir Nandini kahi galat na samjhe mujhe. I think it's better to not go there. But I want to talk to Nandini.
Oh God.... Stop being so desperate Manik. Let her spend sometime with her mom.

With these thoughts,Manik changed his clothes and went to sleep thinking about Nandini.

Phewwww...
