Manan - Innocent Angel

Chapter - 38

Nandini was at loss of words as she never thought that someone will take her pictures without her permission....this is the first time she experienced something like this...though dhruv did so but nandu never got to know about it and manik made sure to remove all those pictures once he caught hold of him.....she was a little happy too as she never imagined to look so pretty...it didn't look like a candid one but like a photoshoot where a girl poses perfectly !! She looked at Mrs.T for explanation who was more than ready to give it....

Mrs.T(calmly):I know you will expect explanation from me and I am all ready to answer any of your questions but before you ask me any I would like to explain you everything that I felt from the time I saw you....

Nandini beta !! Pata hain jab mujhe pata chala ki main maa banne wali hoon toh don't know why but I wished for a baby girl...I always used to tell my mother and all my friends that I will have a baby girl whom I will pamper and will give everything she asks for...I will allow her to live her life the way she wished as though my time was not that much backward yet I was born in a remote village where they got me married at an early age which made me to never think about achieving something but somewhere deep down I was hurt with the way my life was due to my parents but when I learnt that I am pregnant I felt that I can still change a girl's future but I never had a girlchild !! After abhi was born I got to know that my body is no more strong enough to carry another child...I was determined to risk my health but then I remembered abhi and felt what if I will not make through it...then...she and abhi have to grow up with my mother or mother-in-law who are too old fashioned....I can never let them grow up like me and my husband...though I am lucky to have him as he never got influenced by his mother yet I can't risk it so I dropped the idea and moreover my husband used to say that may be I was destined to be a mother to a girl who needs me and my warmth....I was good at cooking all thanks to my orthodox mother who believed that if a woman can't cook perfectly then she is unfit to be a wife !! My husband was a corporate employee at beginning and it was through that company only that we settled over here as after completing his masters he got recruited in it...though I was educated till my marriage I found it hard to communicate with people over here...but he made it easy for me...he used to earn much more than required but knew that I was craving for a baby girl so suggested me to start a restaurant to divert my attention and indeed it was great as it made mr confident and I forgot my pain...though it was at a small corner of my heart yet I was successful in my life and my husband too felt to have a peaceful life so he too quit his job and when he started to take care of our restaurant I decided to train our chefs as one thing it helped in my divertion and other I wanted to keep the name of our restaurant intact !! As time passed by we developed in our business and built a huge empire and I almost forgot about baby girl until I saw your photograph in abhi's mobile...when abhi brought mukti I decided to pamper her and I still do pamper her and she is and will always be my daughter....but the moment I laid my eyes on you...I was lost again as your eyes and the innocence in them made me attracted towards you...I tried to get you out of my mind but then I saw you and manik in an ice cream parlour one day and I couldn't stop myself from listening to your voice which was like a nectar...everyone knew that I saw you for the first time at manik's birthday but I saw you one month ago and from that time Inwas stalking you....I know it sounds creepy but I couldn't help it...I wanted to know everything about you...your likes...your dislikes...the way you love to live and the way you be with all...only my family knew that I was stalking you and mukti was the one who helped me a lot as I being her mother in law no one ever doubted me...there was not a single moment or a word you spoke I missed....and manik !!! You don't be angry on your bodyguards as it's not their fault...they made sure to be everywhere but they are your trusted ones and knew us from years so felt we will never harm her...you don't shout on them as you too know not all are trustworthy.....I took a lot of pics of nandu as I wanted to cherish it all....I even made this room for my satisfaction but yesterday when you told that you want to get married I felt a sudden urge to ask you whether we can do your kanyadhaan and can you make this house as your maayka...I am not forcing you but...we wish to be your maternal house...you will still be daughter of Murthy's and we will not even force you to add our family name behind your name...but...I promise you...whatever things a mother will do for her girl from the time her marriage got fixed till it ends everything will be taken care of and...if you wish we will be everything of your maternal house...your godhbharayi...pagphera...everything...we will not miss on anything...may be I was destined to take care of you...may be your mom dad wish for us to be your foster parents !!
