Arranged Marriage

part 18

After some times Mom and Mukti also arrived at hospital, Probably Manik informed them.

Doctor told us that Amms would be discharged in 2 days but she has to come for regular checkup in 15 days for next 2 months, Moreover she needs proper care and rest.

Meanwhile I was also thinking about money ,Mom and Mukti came to meet her 3-4 times in a day
I and Manik were staying at hospital only.

I and Amms were sitting ,Then Amms said

"Nandu I have some money ,Ask venkatesh ,He will transfer in your account"

"Why Amms?" I said

"Hospital Bill" She said

"Amms you don't worry,I will pay the bills" I said

"No Nandu,I will pay my bills,I know I dont have that much money right now but I will ask Venkatesh to sell the house of Manglore". She said shocking me

"Amms I am your grand daughter,What are you saying ,You dont worry " I said

"How will you arrange money ,I don't want to take it from you,You are married girl now" She said

"This is not fair Amms" I said

But she was correct also,How will I arrange such a huge amount and that too so quickly.

I called up some companies for job ,Also asked for some loan but all in vain.

I was really worried how to pay the bills.

"Should I take a loan from Manik?" I asked to myself.

"No no Nandu ,I should sell my jewelry which Amms gave me at my wedding" I said to myself.

Although it's very precious as Amms gave me but it's for her only.

I went home by making some excuse and bought my jewelry, It was Costing me around 20Lakhs.

Hospital Bill was 25lakhs so I was still not able to figure out how to arrange 5 lakhs.

I thought I would request hospital to give me some time so that I can pay them letter.

Final the day came ,All the formalities were done ,Then finally I went to cash counter.

"Hello Sudha Murthy Discharge paper and bills" I said

"Ma'am everything is done for her,Now you are here for?" The lady said at the cash counter.

"I am here to pay the bill" I said

"But ma'am it's already been paid" She said

"What,Who paid the bill?" I asked

"Manik Malhotra" She said

I left from there and went to Amms room.

Manik was packing her stuff ,Then I entered.

It was not right time to ask.
"Nandini where were you?" Manik asked.

"I went to washroom" I said making excuse.

"Okay it's time to leave , Everything done" He said.

Amms was looking a bit hesitant and I know the reason but right now I can't do anything about it.

We all left for the home, Mom welcomed Amms in a very good manner.

Mom and Mukti was at home for Amms
Welcome.

We all settled down, Amms was shifted to a room at downstairs only so that she does not need to walk up and down again and again.

Finally I and Manik was in our room.

Nandini's Pov

"Manik I will pay the amount soon" I said

"What?" He asked with utter surprise

"Manik Thank you so much for paying the bills but I can't take that from you" I said

"Why?" He asked

"Manik, " He dint let me finish and I could say only his name then he said

"I am your husband Nandini ,And I have same relationship with Amms, Why can't I pay her bills?"

" And don't you consider me as your own " He said

"Am I nobody to you Nandini?" He said in anger

His clam voice turn into angry tone now.

"Manik it's not like that ,But how can I take such a huge amount from you " I said

"Nandini we are husband wife ,God damn it , Don't you understand,My everything belongs to you" He said

I was very happy but I was still hesitant to take money from him.
" But Amms won't agree" I said

" I will talk to her" He said

"Manik it might hurt her self respect ,Amms is very independent lady ,She was not willing to take help from me ,You are her son-in-law ,Manik you don't know how will she feel after it" I said concerned

"Nandini don't worry ,I will handle it ,Now sleep ,You must be tired ,Good night" He said

We both went to sleep but I was stuck.
