Chapter 19 A

Manik's POV..

Something was bothering Maa..! I walked out and saw her sitting on the bench of my garden..

"Maa..! Are you ok?"I asked as I sat beside her..

"Yes son..! I am ok..!"She spoke softly as I noticed some tears in my eyes..

"Maa..! Ap ro rahy ho? Mj say koi galti hue hai? Am I not taking good care of your daughter?"I was worried..

"Ni beta..! Nandini is the most lucky girl as she got you..! I know you will fulfill all her wishes..! But there is a thing about Nandini which I hide from you..!"Maa spoke between light sobs and I wondered that what was it?

"What is it Maa?"I asked worriedly..

"Ya jo Tiger Khurana hai what is he to you?"Maa asked looking at my face and I was confused..!

"Maa Nandini ki baat Tiger kahan say aa gya?"I asked with astonished expressions and she shook her head..!

"Manik..! Nandini is Tiger's sister..!"Maa announced and I was shocked..! Hell shocked..! The Manik Malhotra was at loss of words..! I was speechless..! HOW THE HELL ON EARTH WAS THAT POSSIBLE????

"Ma-Maa..! Ya kya bool ray ho ap? Nandini told me that she is an orphan how come she is connected with Tiger?"I was feeling so unreal..

"Manik..! You are Tiger's friend you must knew that he had a sister and mother..! They both died right?"Maa spoke and I nodded..! "Tiger's mother came to me the night she committed suicide and she handed over Neha to me..! She asked me take care of her and hide her from her cruel father..! Even from Tiger too..! So I named her Nandini..!"Maa told me in short and I was shocked..

"Why didn't you stopped Tiger's mother from committing suicide?"I asked hell tensed and she sighed..

"Because I never knew she will take such step..!"Maa had tears in her eyes..! "I raised Nandini like my own child because she was the loveliest kid in my orphanage..! I tried to give her all the facilities which she deserved of being a Khurana's heir..! But still I was so helpless..! I didn't had enough money to give her all luxuries..! When you came in her life I was stressless that she will be able to have everything which she deserves..! But now after seeing Tiger..! I afraid..! If their father come to know about Nandini he will not be much happy..! He never wanted a girl..!"Maa was saying all this in tears and I was worried..! Hell worried..

"Maa..! I think we should tell both of them about this..! It's their right..!"I suggested...

"No Manik..! No..! Pta nahi dono kesy react karen gay..! Abhi nahi btana beta..! We will tell them later..! Promise me..! Promise me that you will not tell them..!"After a lots of arguments Maa convinced me..! I knew when Nandini will come to know she will react..! But I never knew that what kind of storm this news will bring..

"Manik..! Hum teri wife ko saloon lay kar ja rahy hain..!"Mukti announced as soon as I entered the lounge with Maa. Nandini look at me and I look at her..! She raised her eyebrow to ask if everything was ok I faked a smile and nodded in assurance..! But still she was staring at my face..! Gosh she was master in reading my face..! Nandini kay Aiyappa save me..!

"Aray wah..! Birthday mera and you are taking Nandini to saloon..!"I tried to joke a little and my buddies laughed..

"Someone is getting jealous..!"Jack and his rantings..!

"Larkiyoon! Manik ko bhi saloon lay jaoa..! Aur wahen chood ana..!"Max said laughing loudly..

"Bus isy tou bahana chahye Nandini kay pass rehny ka..!"Cabir said and in return received a playful smack from me..! Between all this she was staring at me and sometimes towards Maa..

"Manik..! Mjy ap say baat karni hai..! Room main ayen..!"Suddenly Nandini said sternly and all look at her in shock..! She was angry maybe. Without waiting for my response she stomped to our room..

"Shadi kay side effects..!"Cabir taunted and all laughed..

"Ja Manik..! Is pay pehly kay teri wife broom lay kay aa jye tery pechy..!"Max too joined and giving them glares I run behind Nandini..
