HIS LITTLE BRIDE- a manan story

YEH DOSTI.......AYYE HAYYE!!!!

It was close to dawn......the 3 girls decided to be together n figure out something. They sat in different positions at different parts of the room n snoozed off, after all it was a tough day mentally n physically. But sleep was far away from Nandini, she sat by the windowsill n looking at the sky. Like her life at this point even the sky looked dark with only a faint ray of the sun marking its way to a new dawn. Just like in these dark days only Mukti n Alya proved to be her only hope that she desperately clutched onto.

Nandini knew she wont give up. Her dreams, her aspirations and most importantly her freedom she's not going to just let go because some Manik Malhotra walked in with a contract that states her father sold her when she was 9. She's going to go ahead and live for herself.

It was important that she planned things correctly and with precision.

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Morning came with such a shock that if any fainthearted people were present, surely they would have breathed their last.

Manik yawned and a groan escaped his lips at the same time. It hurt like hell, but what was more annoying that the giggling this early. He lazily opened his eyes to witness Cabir and Abhi giggling away in glory.

'How did you both enter?' he almost screamed at them

'Your wife called up saying you were in pain, but now I know how painful it must actually be....' and they laughed out loud.

'Gosh Manik suhaagraat kaisa tha tera, oops I'm sorry Nandini sa maar khana kaisa tha tera'

'Bhai lekin sach mein, kya bhabi ne aap ko aise peeta?'

'Abhi...' manik's voice held warning.

'What actually happened Cabir?'

****Flashback****

It was 7 am when a couple of loud knocks broke Cabir's sleep. He opened the door to see Nandini standing in a pair of home clothes.

" I've locked Manik in his room, here are the keys open it, n yes take some first aid with you, some ice too" Nandini said and as she turned to leave Cabir out of curiosity asked "first aid kyun?"....

Nandini smirked 'just gifted something really small but important to my dearest hubby'

"Are u sure this will work?", Nandini asked for the unempt time, looking bored standing on the bed in a pair of micro shorts and oversized sweatshirt.

'Oh Babes relax tere plan k liye this is the perfect first step aur please bed pe chalna bandh kar' Alya answered once again, sitting on the headboard of the bed.

'Ok Nandz coast clear hai....I've kept everything ready in the kitchen, just apna munh mat kholna, please' Mukti said the last part almost begging.

Yes its of no surprise that Nandini has an acid tongue n she has equally uncontrollable violent anger.

...........................................

The dining table was occupied by now, even manik was present obviously after being first aided. Nandini walked into the room followed by mukti and alya. Manik was waiting impatiently just for a glimpse of his beloved bride. He looked on soaking in her presence in a beautiful red saree and adorning herself with everything that were symbolic as a married woman.

Nyonika almost gasped seeing Nandini in her latest avtar. Shanno was trying hard to get what exactly was going on in Nandu's mind. She for sure knew her daughter was not someone to give up she definitely had a plan up her sleeve.

Cabir also had his thoughts on the same line as Shanno, he was curious to had happened to the "gabbar" who came to him this morning?

Good morning everyone, Nandini chirped. The occupants of the table looked on as if on a daze. She looked around the table and "Manik and Cabir get up", Dhruv almost gasped at Nandini's authority....Manik looked on at her in aww mode and got up, Cabir doubtfully followed. He was almost sure Nandini would throw them out of the house now. Nandini followed by mukti and alya occupied the chairs. 'Go fix yourself some chairs' Nandini ordered Manbir.

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

After a series of surprising events and Nandini trying very hard to behave civil and completing the breakfast ritual, which apparently Nandini made as a part of her post marriage ritual, Muklya gathered everone in the hall as per the plan.

'So since ive been slaughtered n the celebration have been done with I wanted to confirm when are my darling parents leaving' Nandini asked. Her words brought only gasps of shock. She rolled her eyes and muttered 'overacting'. 'Nandu chup kar, kaisi batein kar rahi tu' chided Shanno. Venkatesh Murthy as seething in anger at the audacity and words of his daughter. Through everyone's shock and surprise Manik's heart broke a little more that moment, does she really thinks marring him is equal to being slaughtered?

His thoughts were broken by Nandini's voice 'oh please mom now don't act like you care' she started off in a cool voice. 'If you did care you had opportunities mom, you could have protected me from this day' mukti ran by her side to hug her and not let her get emotional, it'll ruin their plan. Nandini sighed to get a grip on herself.

'She turned back to manik and said, 'I've given up on trying to run away from my reality. If we want to live together for the rest of our lives, we need to have a conversation, can we?'

Everyone in the room was so shocked that none noticed Muklya's light smirks and cunning eyes. 'The trap have been set now its only their way' Mukti thought
