All the wives of Manik took this news as pure jealousy and rage, they even know that they can't express it anywhere. All just took it is a gulp of medicine which taste bitter.

Hema came to Manik chamber with fruits, Siya and jyothi greeted her and made her to sit.
"I want to see Nandini" Hema said
"Yes bahurani sa" Siya said and walked to bedroom and knocked. Manik said to come in
"Yuvaraj Badi bahurani came to see bahurani sa"
Manik tensed took his palm into fist but let it go and said "send her"
Siya brought her in

"Pranam Hukum!"
Manik nodded
"Pranam didisa" Nandini greeted her
She nodded
"Have your seat didisa"
She sat on chair near by. She asked dasi to place fruits on table
"Congratulations Nandini"
"I am obliged and congrats to you too as you are also becoming Badi MA"
"Yes yes I am becoming Badi MA" Hema said
"How is your health? Morning you were well"
"Yes all of sudden vomitings started"
"O take care"
"Sure didisa Gratitude you came to see me"
Hema nodded she looked at room and felt ring of pain in heart "I think Hukum is having hard time to adjust in his own room"
Nandini looked at her innocently
"He loves his privacy and he never allowed anyone to share his room all these years and now you are all mess with vomitings and all so why don't you shift to your room?"
"So now you want to question my decision?" Manik snapped harshly
"No hukum" Hema tried to defend
"She will stay here that is my decision"
"But after delivery she has to move as child will be there any How" Hema said it as obvious
Manik gritted his teeth in announcing "we see that later"
Hema got more frustrated as Manik is behave all different when she got the news of pregnancy Manik just was silent he didn't even hug her in happiness and now he is sitting besides her holding hand and smiling at her now and then. She felt jealous even got tears and got angry instantly she got up to go to keep her emotions in check
"Didisa What happened sit have something" Nandini said seeing her get up
"No I need to go" she turned walked a while and turned to Manik "Hukum when I was pregnant you never came to me sat besides me hold hands like this why?" She asked with hoarse voice
Manik pussed his lips and said "you drugged me Hema don't you remember?"
"First time you don't know that and it was your first child for god sake"
"Yes I was happy very much happy but same time very angry on myself to touch you without love care and attraction"
"You never felt attractive towards me?"
"Never"
"What this panditayan has which I don't have?" She asked with tears
"Hema stop this all and go" Manik got up and said with harsh tone
"No I need answer" Hema said admently
Nandini got up "excuse me" and she walked away not listening to Manik's protest
Manik got angry and turned to Hema "this is what I hate in you most, you always want what you like in spite of trying it in very proper way you make things in appropriate way, as you did in our case about children. You would have showed me care and respect instead of drugging me. How I can be attracted to such crocked lady you answer me"
"I was your first wife Hukum we grow up together"
"Still you don't know about me totally"
"She knows about you?" Hema monked
"Yes and she respects me more than you all"
"It is drama once she get children she will also turn as one of us"
Manik took deep breath "See now you are trying to split us where as she was one who requested constantly to reduce your punishment, she suggested to make you all head of the works I allotted, she was one who got hurt and got scar on her leg protecting our children from Latha evil plan, she is one who walked away giving us space and you are complaining on her???? I pity you Hema you don't know who is your enemy and who is your protector. Go to your chamber Hema your jealousy has no place in this chamber" Manik said with heavy heart
Hema walked away.

Manik came to hall and found Nandini sitting on swing he took place besides her "don't think much Nandu, she is jealous"
"I know Hukum, and I know the reason"
"I said stop thinking and get some rest"
"I want to have fresh air Hukum"
"Ok let us walk in garden"
Both came to garden she came near jasmine creeper and sat down there Manik too sat besides her.
"I like jasmines a lot" Nandini said collecting flowers on floor
"The smell of them is so tempting it makes me go crazy" Manik winked she blushed
They both were talking on random things Siya came to them "Yuvaraj bahurani sa mother came"
Nandini got tears instantly she knew it's Chauhan's but listening to her mother word made her emotional she wiped her tears and got up Manik took her hand and helped her Siya too held her
