Cmg to his room Manik made Nandini stand n than ordered her
Ma-go chng n come direct on the bed nothing doing
Bobbing his head Nandini took her night wear n a towel n left to chng n here Manik chngd himself in his tracks n was waiting for her n unknowingly recalled the whole day n that's wen he realized that brown envelope n was thinking wat it might be n also to ask Nandini
After 10 mins Nandini came out dabbing her face while Manik was walking to n fro both looked at each other n than Manik asked
Ma-waise woh envelope Mei Kya tha that u left ur food mid way
Without saying anything Nandini went to balcony to dry her towel n came back to him making him sit on the bed she too sat on the left side n said calmly
Nan-khud hi dekh lo its under ur pillow
Sneaking his hand under his pillow Manik immediately he got that envelope n he dragged it out taking it in his hand he opened it n removed n ppr seeing that he frowned n said
Ma-yeh cheque...........yeh wohi cheque hai
Nan-jo tumhe tumhari first earning se Mila tha
Nandini completed his half sentence n Manik looked at her confusingly n he asked
Ma-Nandini we had given this cheque to dad na toh fir tumhare pass kaise ........aur dad ne tumhe diya
Nan-no I asked for this
Ma-jab chahiye hi tha toh muje kyu bola dad ko dene k liye yeh tu...........
He was shushed by her finger on his lips n she said
Nan-yeh cheque tumne diya tha dad ko aur meine manga dad se lekin Jab tumne yeh cheque diya tha it had money n ab nhi hai
Manik frowned n Nandini erasing it continued
Nan-dad yeh cheque deposit kr k money withdraw krne wale the n after withdrawal yeh cheque void hojata for banks n dad sirf ek kagaz ka tukda tha unke liye (pcs of ppr) lekin meine tumse kaha tha na that yeh cheque mere liye sabse zayda precious hai isliye meine dad se request kiya tha that after withdrawal yeh cheque muje de de n agar iske liye unhe malhotra's ka power bhi use krna pade to use kare n that is y he got me this so sab k liye it's a waste bt for me it holds more value than anything in this world
Manik was shocked to hear all this things from her while Nandini helded his hand n looked at him n continued
Nan-aur meine kaha tha na that I won't disappoint you n see I didn't do that tum chahte the na this to be with me forever n now yeh hamesha mere pass rahega I know thoda out of the way jana pada bt its with me n fir dad ko bhi khushi mil gayi that u gave him ur first earrings
Manik smiled at her out of the way action n said in his daze
Ma-this is the best Diwali gift u gave me
Nandini too smiled n than asked softly
Nan-ab tum mujse naraz toh nhi ho na
Manik immediately said
Ma-Mei tumse naraz kab tha
Nandini stood up a lil to come in his lap n said
Nan-joothe
N she adjusted herself in his lap n said looking at him side way
