In Manjeet Lifecare Hospital
Manik's POV
Can my life get any better ? I just got to see my COOL DAADU getting angry that too with Sooraj Papa who is just like his son for him. Sometimes we wonder whether Sooraj Papa is his own son and our fathers are outsiders cause daadu loved him a lot. But here he was angry, more than anger he was hurt. The next thing I heard took my breath away, Daadu just told that Nandu was a MURTHY, that means she is from Sooraj Papa's family. How on earth is that possible ? Ohk I understand her surname is Murthy but it doesn't mean she could be the same Murthy who once was a friend of Daadu. But what caught my attention was Sooraj Papa's face, he was sweating and he was just..stammering. Mom always says, a person stammers only when he lies or when he hides something. Is he hiding something ? My question was soon answered when I saw him surrendered after Daadu said that Nandu looks like Badi Bua ( Manjeet Murthy ). What the FISH!! It means Nandu..is...one of the ...MURTHYS !!! She was daughter of the fifth son of Bade Daadu (yash). He has one more son ?? Can somebody call AMBULANCE ? Cause I am gonna faint. Oh you don't need to as we are already in a hospital. But suddenly I saw Dad holding Sooraj Papa's collars. I was about to go towards them but his words stopped me from doing so " He might be your younger brother but for me he is my SHEKHS, my BFF, brother from another mother " I couldn't believe what I heard. Nandu's Appa was my Dad's bff...I came out of my thoughts when I saw Dad thumping on the floor in tears. We ran to him and made him sit on a chair.
Manik: Dad, yeh kya kar rahe hai aap ?
Cabir: Dad, aap ro kyu rahe hai ?
Mukti: Haa Dad, kya aap meri tarah behave kar rahe hai.
But Dad wasn't in his senses, he was just telling his Shekhs got a daughter.
Dhruv: Dad, hosh mein ao..
Raj ( came out of trance ): Nandini mere Shekhar ki bachi hai, aur mere Shekhs wapas aaya hai, saath saath meri..meri behen bhi..
Manik: Dad..kon hai Shekhs ?
Dad was about to speak but suddenly he closed his mouth.
Manik: Bolo na Dad..
Dad was silent..I had enough so I moved to Daadu.
Manik: Daadu, ye sab kya ho raha hai..Sooraj Papa jo keh raha hai, kya wo sach hai ?
Daadu: Tujhe yeh sabse koi mathlab nahi..
Manik ( pissed ): Mathlab hai..Mein abhi thak chup tha kyunki aap mere Daadu hai aur mein poora sach jaana chahtha tha anur aapke aur Sooraj Papa ke beech nahi aana chahtha tha par ab aur nahi, aapne Nandu ko ILLEGITIMATE kaha aur wo bhi mene seh liya but I had enough, she is my FRIEND and I cant hear anymore..
Sooraj ( confused ): Friend ? Kabse..Kaise..
Manik: Pehle mere sawalon ka jawab deejiye aap sab..
Nyonika ( in tears ): Mein bathathi hoon..
Others looked at Mom shocked..
Nyonika: Yeh Manik ka haqq hai..
I smiled at her..she knew my turmoil, after all only a Mom could understand her children.
Nyonika: Yeh sach hai Manik ki Bade Papa ko chaar nahi balki paanch bete hain, aur uska naam hai..Shekhar Murthy..tere Dad ka Shekhs..wo donon dosth nahi balki brothers the..5 years difference the un donon ke beech par koi aisa kahega bhi nahi inke dosthi dekhar..mein 3 years elder thi shekhar se..par phir bhi mein uske liye choti behen jaisi thi..wo mujhe bade bhai ke tarah protect karthe the..dikhne mein bhi wo mujhse bade lagthe the..Raj aur Shekhar ek dusre keliye kuch bhi kar sakthe the..mein, raj aur shekhar ek school mein padthe the..Raj mere aur Shekhar ka senior tha..isilye uske schooling humse pehle poora hua..Raj apne bachelors complete ki, thab thak mein bhi apne bachelors ke liye college join ki..par shekhar ki schooling complete hone keliye aur 2 saal baaki tha..thab thak raj masters ki..2 saal baad Shekhar ki college years shuru hua..par Bade papa chahthe the ki wo bachelors London mein poora kare, it was their ritual..every guy needs a foreign degree in their family..isilye Shekhar London gaye 3 saal ke liye..jab wo waapas aaye humne apna dream poora karne keliye nikle..jaanthe hai wo dream kya tha ? ( Manik and his siblings nodded NO )..we wanted to do our college masti together par age difference ke wajah se wo nahi kar paye the..par ab Shekhar ki masters karne ki baari hai tho humne soch kyu na wo ek saath kare..mene tho masters nahi ki thi so I had no issues from family..aur raj ne tho ek nayi course chuni aur use masters karne keliye Papa ji se permission li aur hum ek saath college gaye..aur wahan se mujhe mer saheli mil gayi..mere Papa yaani ki tumhare Nana ji ko ek orphanage tha jahan mein humesha visit karthi thi aur wahan se mujhe ek friend mili thi..SHAMISHTI..meri SHAMI..hum aksar milthe the par wo ek govt. school mein thi kyunki she was an orphan and she didn't want anybody's help to earn a name..isiliye wahi schooling complet ki aur jab college ke baari aagayi tho usse scholarship mili, jis college mein hum saath padne kelie decide ki, wahi college mein wo apne bachelors ke last year mein thi..Shekhar fell for her in the first meeting itself, who wouldn't..she was one hell beautiful girl..a simple beauty just like how Shekhar liked..meri soul sister thi wo, Raj keliye choti behen..isilye hume koi problem nahi thi iss rishtey se par shami ne mana kiya..( Manik: But why ? ) because Shekhar was the son of a richest man of India and she was an orphan, she knew there would be problems with their relation, par humne bhi zidd nahi chode..cupid bani mein aur finally she fell for shekhar too and they were in a relationship till Shekhar completes his studies..studies ke baad Shekhar Bade papa se baath ki, he was sure that Bade Papa wont say NO but he was wrong, Bade papa rejected her, according to him a person who doesn't have parents will be spoilt and could never follow their customs and culture. Shekhar got furious and fought with him. But Shammi backed off from it, she didn't want to see her love fighting with his own Dad, she knew how much Shekhar loved his family, especially his Appa. par hum unn donon ko aise haalat mein nahi dekh sakthe the..they both were shattered after their separation, isiliye I forced Shammi to elope with Shekhar who was ready to start a new life with his love. Raj and I sent them Punjab, but we didn't know where they went after that..Bade papa was furious to find out that Shekhar eloped and we confessed him that we helped them..and..
