Hope you guys will understand.

Happy reading. ❤

Next day nandini was in the kitchen making breakfast for Rishabh and herself. With a beautiful smile on her face she kept stirring the batter. Rishabh walked in the kitchen chewing an apple. Seeing nandini smile an smile immediately crept on his lips. He walked closer to nandini.

Good morning chhoti. Rishabh's voice was peaceful and loving.

Good morning bhai. Nandini replied in a very cheerful tone.

Chhoti ek baat puchu? Rishabh didn't want to spoil the beautiful and happy morning but curiosity got the best out of him.

Haan bhai. Aapko jo puchna hai pucheye. Jab tak aapko tasali ni ho jaati aap puchte rahe. Main ni rokungi. Nandini answered confidently. She was ready to face all the questions. She didn't knew where this sudden strength came from.

Maybe coz she had found her way back to her heart!

Mujhe sach Jan na hai nandini. I know it is very stupid of me but I m getting restless by each passing second. Aur waise bhi nandini Jitna tu iss baat ko khichegi utna yeh baat sabko affect karege. Relations pe ek andhere ki tarah chaya rahega. Tu samjh rahi haina.

Rishabh explained very calmly. Nandini nodded her head as if understanding what Rishabh was pointing at. Nandu ek elastic band ko zyada khich ne se woh toot jate hai. Relations bhi aise hi hote hai. Inpe zyada pressure aur stress daal ne se na inn ke beech na darar pad sakti hai.

Nandini was now in deep thoughts. Rishabh was right. Relations had already started getting affected because of all this. Friendship between Navya cabir and mukti was still not on good terms. Somewhere navya's trust towards manik had started faultering. Rishabh and her relation. Though Rishabh forgive her but she knew he was hurt.

Rishabh was right. What nandini and manik are doing is not right. They have already committed a mistake by hiding it. Prolonging this will just affect and mess things more.

Bhai agar sacchi bolo toh aaj tak main bhi pura sach nahi jaanti. No one apart from Manik and Nishchal know the entire truth. Main sirf itna jaanti hoon ki jo bhi usne kiya was all a facade to save Nishchal's life. Nishchal ke saath kya hua tha? Kaise hua? Kyun hua? Main kuch nahi jaanti bhai. But bhai I trust manik. I am sure he had a very strong reason. And the only reason he doesn't want to share is because he doesn't want us to get worried.

Rishabh was initially shocked knowing that nandini herself didn't know the truth. As she proceeded on telling him about manik, he noticed a spark in her eyes for the first time. He himself was shocked as he never saw this nandini!

Bhai aapko pata hai manik na ek decent down to earth person hai. Woh na apno ko pareshaani main nahi dekh sakta. Aur unke liya na kuch bhi kar sakta hai. Woh bohot zyada reserved hai. Kisi se jaldi open nahi karta.

Nandini kept talking about manik while setting up the breakfast in the plates. Rishabh helped her a little but his entire focus was on nandini who was smiling. Her smile and her happiness was very clearly reflected in her eyes. Rishabh had never seen so happy.
