He Walked In Her Love

Roka?

"Hanji thik hai, ji, ji" Nandini heard her father, she had just returned from her work and her father got call from her in-laws to tell them the timing of their arrival

"Humari taraf se tho haan hai" he said

"Nandini ne kud kal raat haan bola hai" he added

"Ji usi se puch lijiye" he handed phone to Nandini who had and unfocussed vision on her father

"Papa" she said answering on the call and before that person continued further she cut him off

"I am ready for this, he is your son I don't need to see him for accepting him" she said and just passed the phone to her father again to ran upstairs in her room

Shutting the door she said down crying her heart out

This was after that day she cried her heart out, she always tried to control or stop them but not today

"Why Manik! You could have heard! You could have Trusted! Why!" she yelled at out her pain

"I hate you! I hate you Manik Malhotra for ruining the bestest thing I had, for ruining Nandini's Mani"

"I hate you!!!"

Manik sat there on the sofa the entire situation giving him a negative feeling

Aadarsh's car had broken in the middle of the road so Cabir and Abhi had waited with them where Manik's parents had brought him to a house

It was a big and typical south Indian house with modern touch, elegance yet simplicity screamed there

Nothing was to loud and nothing was too boring, it was toned and subtle

"Mom" he tried to speak to his mother who sat with a lady he didn't knew and his attempt to take her attention failed badly

Mukti and Navya sat comfortable yet silent on one of the couch they were looking at Manik with anxious eyes

"Arey beta aap tho kuch kaha hi nahi reh" the lady who maybe even owned the house pestered them showing the variety of food items in front of them

"Yes baccho kuch kha lo" even Neyonika said

"Mom I need to talk to you" Manik said in urgency

"Haan Manik bolo na" Neyonika said

"Somewhere private please" he pleaded, he was shocked with the bomb they threw on him before coming here

How will he!!

"Haan..." but she stopped seeing the person behind him

Manik saw his Mother stilled with the lady besides her who's eyes were shining bright, he could here the jingling of anklets

Seeing the ladies even the men looked at the people who decended the stairs

All they could hear was the jingling of anklets

He closed his eyes

He can't do this!

No!

"Haayyyy kitni Sundar lag rahi hai" he heard his Mother gusshed

"Aa mere pass beth" she added

Determined he opened his eyes to land at the girl who sat in front of him  in light blue half sari with a light green narrow boarder on it

Her hairs were tied in a braid, she had no makeup except for the lipstick and the liner
