Nandini's pov

"Manik uthooo!!" I screamed in his ears

"Kya Nandini sone bhi nahi deti ho" He snaked his arms around my waist

"Manik it's 7am remember you have to reach the byre on time." I pinched his nose

"Oh teri!!"

He sprang up and ran towards his room, yes climbing down the makeshift ladder in the balcony.

I completed the morning rituals and straightaway headed towards the byre.

There Manik was standing in a all white shirt and white shorts. Was he planning to play holi over here? I suppressed my laugh seeing Amms coming from the opposite direction.

"Good morning Amms!" We all voiced together

"Good morning kids! So Manik beta ready for the task?"

He nodded

"All the best Manik" Navya showed a thumbs up

"Madhubala tum wish na hi karo toh acha hai.Ab pata nahi Manik ko kya kya jhelna hoga" Cabir giggled and was smacked by Navya thereafter.

"Amms aaj ka task kya hai?"I asked out of curiosity

"Nandu today Manik will milk the cows and then make kande "

"What's kande?" asked a baffled Manik

"Manik it means cowdung cakes" I clarified

"Ewww so Manik gonna touch those shits of cows" Alya made a disgusting face

I rolled my eyes  and remarked

"Alya they are not considered as shits but pure.We use them in our poojas too."

"Okay why so worked up Nandini? I said because Manik never did it,right Manik?" she turned her gaze towards Manik

"Yeah Nandini it's fine" He nodded

I don't know why was Alya so much concerned about Manik. She should concentrate on Dhruv instead.

"Toh Manik aaj yeh kaam sham tak complete kar lena "

"Yes Amms thanks for this amazing task."

We understood his sarcasm

Amms left followed by Vishnu Anna and we all were left behind listening to the mooing of the cows in the background.

"Manik All the best tu kar lega I know"

Cabir made his way out followed by Navya, Mukti,Abhi,Dhruv and Alya.

Why were they leaving now?

"Alya why don't you help Manik?" I cocked an eyebrow

"Umm Nandini you know Amms said not to help him and moreover I have some work as well." She spun on her heels and the clicking sound of her 4 inch heels could be heard even when she entered the house.

I rolled my eyes

"Guys why are you all leaving?"Manik frowned

"Yeah how could you leave your friend in need?" I added

"Sorry it's like I have an allergy to this and I guess rest are not interested as well. Plus Nandini I guess you both need some private time? Kyun Manik?" Cabir eyed Manik making me blush simultaneously

"Thanks bro ek tu hi smajhta hai mujhe" He hi fived Cabir

Uggghhh!!

"Oh okay no problem I am always there for my Manik." I stated nonchalantly
