Chapter 3B :
Morning always have a new beginning.
So did for manan.
Alot of tasks, searching and efforts.
Nandini : nasha utar gaya ? Ab tho ut jao na manik please. Tum aur tumhari yeh buri bachapan ki aadat. Utoo..
Manik : yeh tumhe kaise pata hai ? ( putting off the blanket from his face with that questioning expression)
Nandini : mujhe kaise nai pata hoga, mai hee roz tumhe utati thi, subah subah. U always make everyone late to school. So, I know. ( suddenly recalls those childhood moments )
Manik : ( sitting on bed, putting his legs on floor, completly gets lost and also will have that awkward and silent posture in his Own serious world)
Nandini turns silent and leave the place.
Manik starts thinking How he was and how he is.
Everything changed in matter of time. Though he is thankful for Nandini to be along with him, he couldn't tell to her.
Manik pov : thanku nandu.
After few minutes,
Nandini : manik, yeh dekho na Mujhe kya mila hai ?
( as she understood that manik is guilty, to divert him and lift his mood )
Nandini founds a witch cap and heavy earrings of silver, also wears that witch black gown.
See now, I will act like a witch in Tom and Jerry.
Saying this she starts acting like a joker instead of witch.
Manik : ( Burst out in laugh) tum bhi na, bilkul bachi ho. Kuch nai ho sakta Tumhara.
So, what is in the breakfast? I'm hungry.
Nandini : ( with an expectation look ) manikkk... Actually there is pasta, fruit salad and Maggi.
Manik : ( in confused look ) really ? Oh wow !!
Lekar aav.
Nandini : first fresh up, wash ur face and come.
Manik : theek hai madam ji ( nodding his head with a smile)
After 10mins,
Manik comes to Nandini who is sitting on couch and ask where is the breakfast?
Nandini : manik wo, wo...
Manik : tumhari bak bak baadme, pehle khana lagao.
Nandini : ( with her eye brows going up)
Haa, wahi tho, wo na, mujhe bhi bahut bhook lagi hai. That's why I'm waking you up from morning.
Manik : oh ! Acha, that's okay. Don't cry, we will share the food. Get it.
Nandini : arey bhuddu, khana tujhe hee banana padega. I got all stuff for cooking myself, Mujhe Jo mila hai wo sab lekar ayi hu khana banana ke liye. But...
Manik : (with uneasy answer ) What ??
Phir kya huwa? Sab lekar ayi tho, banaya kyu nai ?
Nandini in utter silence looking at it him as if she is not Nandini.
Oh ! Shit. Tumhe khana bana nai aata hai ? (Looking at Nandini in monstrous look )
Nandini : (nodding her head like a kid with her lower lip in her mouth)
Manik :
Tum bachi thodi na ho nandu ? Ab badi bhi hogayi ho, still you didn't learn to cook?
Nandini : manik, baate baadme, ab khana banao na. Bahut bhook lagi hai.
Even manik in hungry mode, starts checking stuff.
Manik: nandini, cut these vegetables and fruits.
Nandini : mere nakoon kharab hojayenge, galti se mera haat kat gaya tho ? Mujhe dar hai.
Manik ( irritatingly) : arey, tumna.. Manik take away everything and does every stuff on himself
While manik working, Nandini sits on chair near table and give directions - do like this, cut like that, it is big malhotra, see you are throwing down, I went so far to get all these, blah blah.
In spite of all such irritating words, manik says no single word nor show anger.
Nandini in chaos.
Nandini pov :
Kya yeh manik hee hai kya ? ( biting her nails) kuch bhi kyu nahi bol raha hai ye ?
Something is wrong. I think I m in dreamland ( she pinches herself )
Ooch... Ayapa !!
Manik : kya huwa? dimak tho theek hai ?
Nandini : with smile. Kuch nai, kuch nai huwa. Tum.kaam karo.( she sits silent)
After manik's 45 mins hardwork.
Vegetable salad and fruit salad is done.
Nandini : finally breakfast bangayi.
Yum yum, she rushes to the bowl on the table.
Manik comes and lifts the bowl before Nandini does.
Manik : kya huwa Ms.Nandini Murthy? Breakfast khana hai kya ?
Nandini : hmm... With missing of food mood, nods her head. Yes, manik ( in low tone)
Do na, please .
Manik : phir ye bolo raat ko kuch bol rahi thi ?
Nandini: ( kya isko sab yaad hai ? Kya wo khwaab nai tha ? )
About what should I tell ?
Manik : raat ko kuch keh rahti aur baat palat diya hai na. Wo bolo. Nai tho kuch nai milega in breakfast. ( with an evil smile )
nandini : manik!! i hate u... how can u do this to me...
manik : well who said i love u and for this Ms.Murthy this is called tic for tac... what u did for me in the morning.. ( made me cook, irritated me )
nandini : uuu... mr.monster malhotra wait and watch what i will do..
manik : bring it on ms.murthy i will be waiting...
After an hour, both didn't have anything.
Nandini : theek hai, suno.
Mai soch rahi thi tumhare jagah SHAHID KAPOOR hota. How nice, how hot he is, what a handsome hunk. Bas yehi hai.
Manik ( with jealous ): go, get LOST. Ask your SHAHID KAPOOR to bring breakfast and cook for you. Ask him only to find way out.
Nandini : ( in serious look ) so much of attitude?
You asked so I said. Why it even bother you if I do romance also with any ?
( holding her stomach tightly, in gesture of hungry )
Manik : mu m mu m mu mujhe kyu fark padega ( badbadate huye )
Yelo, first have your breakfast, later you sit and fight.
Both finally finish their breakfast and comes out of each other.
Now , the house captivate manan's eyes.
A small house but still ample, large to stay.
A saying " It's not the size of house but of heart which determine the space."
For Friendship and love, whole universe seems less and charming.
Hatred roots even a small cabin into huge world of blight.
It is square shaped with to one side extreme corner kitchen with desolated things, a small round brownish dining table with two chairs- dusty, another two broken,.
The bed room and kitchen are separated with a wooden wall, just like a cabin also with a two windows. One is to side of bed post, another on the parting wall of kitchen.
And there is little space from entrance and rooms.
Now, manan actually focused on things around them.
Nandini : manik ! Tumhe yaad hai ? Night there were bright lights ?
Manik : putting finger on his forehead, yeah ! Yeah ! I remember.
Then where are those lights? ( They start looking all around again )
Nandini : something is weird about this place. We need to find out. (Suddenly, there is change in climate, everything turns blue and raining )
Both stare at each other in turmoil.
That sudden change in climate, gets Nandini close to manik, holding his hand tightly after so many years.
Manik : (putting his hand on her shoulder with doubt and different feel) its okay. Don't worry. I'm here. Let's go and find out what's there in this island.
Nandini, comforting herself in his embrace. Starts for an adventure.
" If that one person in life is along then everything fear,weakness turns to courage "
