Chapter 21a
fab4 navya kavya n abhi joined manan for the lunch...n all the ladies were getting fed by their love ones n kavya was running from dhruv's to abhi seat as they both were feeding her along with their girls
Navya - dhruv abhimanya bas bhi karo...kyu bhaga rahe ho meri bachi ko
Abhi - isme humari kya galti...she only want dhruv n me to feed her warna uski mehendi bhi kharab ho jayengi
Kavya - chachuuu mehdi (mehendi) nahi tattoo
Dhruv - OK miss tattoo...now come here fast n have a bite
Nandini - tum dono ek dusre ke bazu baith jao na to kavya ko bhagna nahi padenga
Abhi n dhruv sat next to each other N again made kavya eat...
Nandini - manik aur khilao na
Manik - now only u said u don't wanna eat...that is why I stopped
Nandini - I said I don't wanna have this dish...I want to have chicken
Cabir spitted out water on manik's face but their were no reaction from his as he was numb...others were busy cleaning their ears from their fingers n pinching each other as they cannot believe that nandini said
Except for nandini kavya everyone said "oh my god" in unison
Cabir - nandini tumne abhi kya kaha zara fir se repeat karna
Cabir held manik from his shoulder n shook him crazily but still their was no response
Mukti slapped abhi tightly on his back n abhi said - mukti thoda ek aur baar marna mujhe much samajh nahi aa raha...kya main sapna dekh raha hu
Dhruv - mukti mujhe bhi maar yaar
Everyone's gaze were fixed on nandini as what she said had made them stunned...nandini got annoyed by their behaviour n she shouted
Nandini - guys main koi alien nahi hu aur maine bas chicken manga hai ab isme kya galti ki maine
After nandini shouted all of them came back to their senses n manik held nandini's hand n said
Manik - nandini tum bhul rahi ho that ur a vegetarian...u can't have chicken
Nandini jerked her hand away n again shouted - manik mujhe chicken khana khana hai matlab khana hai bas
Manik - but nandini...
Nandini cut his words in between n said strictly looking into his eyes - will u let me eat or not manik?...or should i go with amms to Mangalore
Manik's anger rose to a high level but didn't wanted to fight between everyone so he stood up angrily n picked up nandini from his seat
Manik - guys don't worry...we'll be back after sometimes
Nadini was protesting to get away from his hold but manik didn't listen to her n walked straight to their room...as they came into their room...manik lied nandini on the bed gently n sat next to her n grabbed her arms tightly
Nandini - manik just leave me ok
Manik - just shut up
Manik shouted n nandini froze on her place
Manik - nandini this time you've crosses all the limits n broke my patience to be calm...kitna easily keh diya na tumne that u can go with amms to mangalore...ek bari bhi mere nahi socha...how will I feel
Nandini made a cute sad pout n said - but maine to bas aise hi keh diya tha so that u won't stop me to eat chicken
Manik - itni si baat lag rahi hai tumhe ye...u very well know mujhe ye sab sunna bilkul bhi pasand nahi hai fir bhi again n again u always test my patience...aur chicken khane se main tumhe isliye rok raha tha kyuki agar amms ko pata chal gaya na that u had chicken...to wo mujhe hi blame karengi...n u very well know that i can't fight with her
Nandini pushed his arms away n hugged him tightly n manik closed his eyes to feel her close to himself n hugged back
Nandini - I'm sorry manik...mujhe nahi pata tha ki tum itna naraz ho jaonge
Manik - I'm not angry but I'm scared as I know that today or tomorrow amms will definitely talk to us about taking u to Mangalore...aur wo yaha udaipur me jis din se aye hai ussi din se main soch raha hu that how will I speak against her
Nandini - don't worry...sab theek ho jayenga...amms know that we both can't stay away from each other..then why she will take me to Mangalore
Manik - I don't know but I have a feeling that she will take u away...remember before our marriage how amms took u to Mangalore forcefully
Nandini broke the hug n cupped his face n made him look into her eyes n said - manik we should always hope for the best...agar tum negative sochonge to ayyapa humari help kaise karenge
Manik - but nandini...
Before manik could complete nandini touched her lips with his to make him forget about amms n she succeeded as manik started responding to her kiss n he turned the soft kiss into a passionate one...they could have turned their kiss into making love but a knock on the door made them broke the kiss forcefully...fab4 rushed in the room after knocking once n manan sat decently
Cabir - oh dono room to lock karke kiss karte...
Mukti - ha yaar hum andar aye fir bahar jake knock karna pada
Cabir - kuch tamiz hi nahi hai aur main kuch bolu to ghussa dikhata hai
Manik glared at cabir angrily while nandini blushed...mukbir were about to tease manan more but a service boy knocked on the door n manik called him in n the boy placed a tray on the side table of the bed n went away after getting a tip...manik kept the bowl in front of nandini n she asked
Nandini - what is this manik ?
Manik - reason of our fight...
Nandini got confused n to clear her doubt manik served the chicken dish on the plate
Nandini - wow chicken...ye kab order kiya
Cabir - we ordered it...lekin I'm still in a state of shock that nandini wants to eat non veg...jo nandini murthy college me sabko lecture deti thi that everyone should be vegetarian
Mukti - do u guys remember jab hum Sab first album ke hit hone ke baad manik ke ghar pe party kar rahe the
Aliya - ya aur sari dishes non veg thi n we all forgot that nandini don't eat non veg...then she totally blasted on everyone n started calling all of murderers of chicken n goat
All of them started laughing remembering the incident then manik said
Manik - cabir tu bhool raha hai...tab she was nandini murthy now she is nandini manik malhotra so thoda to asar honga hi
Nandini - but its not my fault guys...all these things are for the baby...my baby is craving for such things not me
Manik - its OK nandini...u can have chicken as much as u want no one will stop u but pls don't tell about this to amms...warna WO mujhe blame karenge...ki manik tum me meri nandu ka dharam bhrasht(destroy) kar diya
Cabir - ha ha aur upar se unka dialogue...mujhe to meri nandu ki shaadi manik se karani hi nahi chahiye thi
Fab5 laughed n nandini slapped cabir on his shoulder n cabir faked the pain...nandini sat back on the bed...picked up the spoon n she was about to have a bite of chicken but aliya stopped her
Aliya - hey nandini stop
Nandini - ab kya hua
Aliya - arre let's take a selfie na...I'm mean ur gona have chicken for the first time n it's really a shocker for all of us...so let's capture this moment
Cabir - hey ur right aliya...come let's take a selfie
Manik side hugged nandini while she was having the spoon near her mouth n fab4 snuggled around them n with a help of selfie stick they captured the moment...they changed some pose like fab5 making shock face looking at nandini eating chicken n then navya abhi also joined them n they took some more pictures...the cutest picture was of manan which cabir captured secretly...nandini sitting on manik's lap n manik feeding her

Nandini - manik am I really looking good
Manik - nandini this is the 5th time ur asking me
Nandini - that's bcoz of u only...u r not even telling me hum kaha ja rahe hai...that is why I'm getting confused
Manik - u wear whatever u want to...u will always look beautiful...now pls let's leave
Nandini hugged manik n thanked him for complementing her n without breaking the hug she asked
Nandini - manik tumhare wo ajeeb se khadoos Bodyguard saath me nahi chalenge na
Manik - umm nandini WO actually bas thode der ke liye rahenge
Nandini broke the hug n gave a sad look to manik n said - I don't like them...pls let's go alone na
Manik - nandu pls thodi der ke liye...then they won't disturb us
Nandini - ok...now chalo
Manik decided to take nandini out for a romantic dinner so she can forget about dancing as fab4 navya n abhi were preparing for the sangeet function n manik didn't wanted nandini to get sad seeing them dancing together
Manan were on their way to the lake palace but nandini didnt know about it so she kept asking manik that where he was taking her n is this the part of his reward but he didn't said anything to her...
Their car halted in front of the boat yard n manik blindfolded nandini's eyes
Nandini - manik tumne blindfold kyu kiya...main gir gayi to?
Manik - main hoon na...aise kaise girne dunga tumhe
A guard opened the door for manik n he picked up nandini in his arms n stepped out of the car n guards covered them as their were lot of commoners who noticed manik n started gathering around him but manik didn't pay any attention towards them as it was not a fans-celebrity meet...so he walked down the stairs with nandini in his arms n then carefully stepped in the boat n made nandini sit properly...they finally reached the lake palace n the their were lot of people present for their welcome...the manager came in front n shook his hands with manik
Manger - welcome Mr n Mrs malhotra...we are really glad that u came to this beautiful palace
Manik - thank u so much
Nandini - manik ab to meri ankhe kholo...n what palace...kaha hai hum
Manik - have some patience nandini
Nandini - no...ab bohot ho gaya...I can't wait anymore
Manik - ok..ok..just give me 2 mins
Manik looked at the manager n asked - I hope everything is ready
Manager - of course sir...everything is fully prepared
The manager guided them the direction n after reaching their manik removed the blindfold n nandini was amazed to see the lake view n the dinner table surrounded by fireflies jar...she turned around n hugged manik tightly

Imagine the lights as fireflies jar
Manik - u like it
Nandini - I loved it...its so beautiful
She broke the hug n picked up one of the fireflies jars n kept on staring it...manik back hugged her...his on hand around her waist n the other one holding the jar from below n the fireflies shinned more brighter n nandini tilted her head n kissed manik at the corner of his lips
Nandini - I love u
Manik - I love u too...
Manan were having their dinner while admiring the lake view n talking to each other
Nandini - manik u were talking about reward in the afternoon...so is this ur reward?
Manik - umm nope...this is not part of my reward
Nandini - fir aur kitna wait karna honga manik...n if this is not the part of my reward then what is it
Manik didn't answer anything n he was holding her hand n staring at the mehendi...nandini noticed it n playfully took her hand out of his hold n got up from the chair n manik followed her
Manik - nandini dekhne do na...ab to mehendi dry bhi ho gayi hai
Nandini - no pehle mera reward n then I will show u my mehendi design
Manik - this not fair...I can't wait till the night...n if u will not show me ur mehendi then how will I find my name
Nandini - nahi bol diya na
Manik - pakka...
nandini - yesss
Manik - so you've decided
Nandini folded her arms before her chest n said - yes yes yes
Manik - fine then suit yourself
Manik took a step towards nandini n she started running carefully n manik was running behind her
Manik - nandini stop right their n don't run
Nandini turned around n showed her tongue to him n said - no I won't Mr malhotra...catch me if u can
Manik - listen its not safe...our baby will get hurt
Nandini instantly stopped at her place n hid her hands behind her back
Nandini - OK I won't run but I will only show u my mehendi once we will reach back to the hotel...so bolo are u OK with it
Manik - ok baba I accept it...I will look at ur mehendi when we will reach back to the hotel
Nandini smiled n manik walked toward her n hugged her lightly n after breaking the hug he bend down n kissed her tummy over the fabric n talked to his baby
Manik - hey dear are u ok...I know mumma ne bhag ke apko dara diya haina...u must be having a tsunami moment inside her...but don't worry daddy next time mumma ko aisa kuch bhi nahi karne denge in fact she will be careful from now onwards
Manik looked up to nandini n said - haina nandini tum agli baar humare baby ko pareshan nahi karongi na
Nandini knelt down n entwined her fingers with his n said - u will be the best daddy ever...n yes I won't harm n i will protect our baby all the time n I love u both
Manik - I love u both too
After having dinner manan were walking around lily pond holding their each other hands...
Nandini - wow this palace is so beautiful
Manik - abhi to humne pura palace dekha kaha hai aur agar dekh bhi liya to tumse zyada beautiful kuch bhi nahi ho sakta
Nandini blushed n hit manik on his chest n walked forward while he followed her with a smirk on his face...nandini knelt down in front of the pond n looked at the white lily carefully...manik did the same n he forwarded his hand to plug the lily but nandini stopped him in the middle
Nandini - manik don't plug it..
Manik - but why...I thought u like it
Nandini - of course I liked it...but that does not mean I want it...when I was small na to amms hamesha kehti thi ki Jo flowers khud apni dali se alag ho kar gir jate hai hume bas ussi ko uthana chahiye...na ki flowers ko root se tod na chahiye
Manik - OK then aaj se I will never plug flower from its root...
Manan were almost done looking at the whole palace n manik got a call from cabir n he immediately picked up his call
Manik - hey bro what's up...how's the preparation for sangeet going
Cabir - practise khatam hue 2 hrs ho gaye hai...lekin tu hai kaha
Manik - main nandini ko lake palace pe lekar aya hu
Cabir - time dekha kya ho raha hai
Manik - aise kyu puch raha hai tu
Cabir - first have a look at time
Manik saw the time on his phone n damn it was 1am
Manik - shit bro...nandini ke saath time ka pata hi nahi chala
Cabir - come back as fast as u can bcoz amms bohot ghusse me hai n she is waiting for u guys
Manik - u idiot pehle batana chahiye tha na...itni der se faltu ki bakwas kar raha hai...
Cabir - ab tu ghussa kar ke time mat waste kar aur nandini ko hotel wapas lekar aa
**************
Manan reached back to the hotel n all their way nandini was consoling manik as he was panicking a lot...they came back in their room...n amms was already waiting for them...amms stood up angrily as soon as she saw manan in front of her
Amms - raat ke 1:30 baj rahe hai...kaha the tum dono itni der se...main 10 baje se intezar kar rahi thi...lekin tum dono ka kisi ko atta pata hi nahi hai...Maine itni carelessness tum dono se expect nahi ki thi aur khaas kar ke tum se nandu...itni irresponsible kab se ho gayi tum...
Manik - amms its my fault...main nandini ko lake palace dikhane lekar gaya tha usse to pata bhi nahi tha
Amms - tum to kuch bolo hi mat manik...kyuki tumne gair zimedar hone ki had par kar di hai aaj...
Nandini - amms apko ho kya gaya hai aap kyu manik ko aisa bol rahe ho...aur manik irresponsible bilkul bhi nahi hai...aap ko koi idea bhi nahi hai ki WO meri kitni care karta hai...har ek cheez ka dhyan rakhta hai
Amms - galti meri hi hai...main hi bina reason ke manik ko samjhdar bolti thi...aur agar itna hi khayal hota usse to wo itni raat tak tumhe bahar lekar hi nahi ghumta...time pe tumhe hotel lata...pregnancy ke time itni der tak jagna is not good...tumhe apni neend diet ka proper care karna honga nandini warna tum apne bache ko harm kar dongi
Manik - amms aisa kuch nahi honga aap kyu itna tension le rahe ho
Amms - ab tum mujhe sikhonge ki main meri granddaughter ke liye tension lu ya na lu
Nandini - amms enough...bohot ho gaya ab aap manik ke against kuch nahi bolonge
Manik - stop it nandini...don't talk to her like that...she is just worried for u
Amms - yes I'm worried for her n bcoz of u she is talking to me like that for the first time...tumhare saath reh kar meri nandu puri tarah change aur spoil bhi ho gayi hai...mujhe to
Amms couldn't complete her words as nandini felt dizzy n she fainted n before she could fell...manik held her
Manik shouted - nandini...kya hua tumhe...
Amms - usse bed pe letao
Manik picked nandini in his arms n gently lied her on the bed...amms was rubbing her hand while manik was patting her cheeks lightly...
Manik - nandini utho pls...I'm sorry main ab amms se fight nahi karunga...just wake up
Amms - yaha baith kar baat Karna band karo aur doctor ko call karo...tumhare bolne se wo uth nahi jayengi
Manik nodded his head in a yes n called Dr avantika in Mumbai...manik explained everything to her n Dr avantika's immediately talked to one of the Dr in udaipur n asked him to check nandini...
In half an hour dr reached the hotel n manik lead him to their room
Manik - dr is everything OK na..
Dr - don't worry Mr malhotra pregnancy ke 3rd month me faint hona is normal...bas inko stress zyada nahi hona chahiye...shayad stress ki wajah se hi ye faint hui hai warna everything is fit n fine...ur wife n baby both are perfectly fine
Manik sighed in relief n amms asked - nandu ko uthne me time kitna lagenga
Dr - bas thodi der me uth jayengi...mujhe koi injection ya medicine deni ki zarurat hi nahi hai ki WO zyada der tak na uthe...OK now if everything is clear I should leave
Manik - ya thank u dr
As soon as dr went away manik Sat next to nandini n adjusted the duvet on her n kept staring her...n after while he asked to amms
Manik - amms aap batana bhool gaye...aap room me kyu aye the...kuch baat karni thi apko
Amms - ha...nandu ne shayad bataya ho tumhe pehle...meri phone pe baat hui thi...
Manik - ha I know aap kya bolna chahte ho...yahi na ki aap nandini ko Mangalore apne saath lejana chahte ho...kyuki apko ritual follow karni hai
Amms - ha isi ke bare main baat karne ayi thi...humari Sanskriti me beti pregnancy ke time apne amma appa ke ghar par rehti hai...aur isiliye main nandu ko apne saath Mangalore lekar jaungi jab uska 3 mahina khatam ho jayenga
Manik - aap ko Jo karna hai wo aap kar sakte ho par amma aap achi tarah se jante ho ki nandini mere bina reh hi sakti...aur main usse kahi nahi jane dunga...aur na uske bina rahunga
Amms - Meri baat tumhe maan ni hi hongi manik...aur agar aaj nandu ke amma appa zinda hote to wo bhi yahi chahte ki nandu unke pass ho...aur ek ladki Jo maa banne wali hai uski feeling tum kabhi bhi feel nahi kar paonge aur aise time bhale hi tum nandu ka kitna bhi saath de do..par ek maa ki kami tum kabhi puri nahi kar paonge...aur kabhi na kabhi nandu ko meri bhi zarurat padengi
Manik - par amms...
Amms - manik agar tum nandu ki khushi chahte ho to meri baat maan lo...mera kaam tha tumhe samjhana aur agar tum samajdar ho to achi tarah socho aur decision lo
Amms said all in one n left the room while manik was in deep thought...
