CHAPTER 1B
Nandini's P.O.V
My birthday...i had been so excited today, not because I was born on this day or I'll be getting gifts or my parents will throw a bash for me or something, but today it was a full family and friends day. I always look forward for this day for this thing only, momma dada bhai and my all friends, we all stay together...eat, play games, and have loads and loads of fun. Today, bhai also told me someone, actually his best friend...actually scratch that even, his "brother from other mother" was showing up after 3 years. Though I turned 7 today, but still I had some problems in saying something's, and I got hell nervous while talking to strangers, that is why bhai was always there with me when we go out or something. I actually don't remember anything about his this friend cum brother neither I have ever seen him, as I always was a person who preferred staying at home, no going out from starting itself. After playing and feeling thirsty. I excused myself and was going to kitchen, when the doorbell rang, and I got scared, being a weak child from birth itself, I feared almost everything, so when I saw Raju kaka going and opening the door, I hid behind the sofas, and peeked to see who was on the door. Some..no actually three people entered the hall, and I wanted to go upstairs, frightened, so I turned to go, but to my bad, I impinged with a vase, and it made a scratched sound in there. When I turned to see, I was on verge of crying, I saw Raju kaka had gone already to kitchen. I got scared when one of them asked me,
"Who are you..?? What are you doing here...??"
"Am sholly...meli ball yahan aa dayi thi...ishliye main yahan aayi...sholly..."(am sorry...my ball came over here...that's why I was here...sorry...)I lied, being hell scared, butthen all of a sudden I don't know what got into me I ran to my room parallel to the staircase leading to where everyone was.i don't know why I lied, afterall I was standing in my house, and they were no one to question me, but I idnt have any courage to say something other than this.
I was in my room thinking about those people, that who were they, and what were they doing here, but then I thought I aslo don't know everyone, maybe dadda's colleague's or someone, but that boy, he was very intimidating, I didn't liked him, huhh...how dare he asked me that, idiot stupid,...no no no...nandu don't say like tha, all these are bad words, what will momma say when she'll here these. I was thinking all this, when I heard spounds of chuckling and laughter from just other side of the door of my roo, I quickly got up, and straightened up. Then there was a knock on the door, and bhai entered, laughing, with...urghh...with that same lambuuu boy. He probably had drunk whole factory of complan, he''s tall...okay..i exaggerated, but hey, it's a truth to some extent.
I was bought back to mortal land when bhai said "hahaha...jadoo..where were you...?? dekho tumse milne kaun aaya hai.." (hahaha...jadoo..where are you...??look who has come to meet you...) He asked me while climbing up the bed, and making himself comfortable, and I got confused, about whom he wanted me too meet, and noticing such expressions on my face, and before even bhai can say anything, the complan boy said-
"Hey, first of all, am sorry for whatever I asked you out there, I didn't meant to, but the way you were standing there with those "am caught" expressions I couldn't stop myself from asking it" and before he could say anything ahead, bhai interrupted him saying
"My bro, now are you gonna say this only, or will let me introduce too. So Jadoo, this is the special person I talked to you about, meet Manik...Manik Malhotra...and Manik, meet my lil angel..my Jadoo, Nandini." He introduced us to each other, and I suddenly got delighted to meet him, as he was a very special person to bhai.
" Hello Manik, nice to meet you." I said forwarding my hand for a hand shake to which he replied politely by" nice to meet you too nandu..hope you won't mind me calling you that..?? and am really very sor-" he couldn't continue as I stopped him " no no Manik, it's absolutely okay, and yes, you can call me that." He gave me a wide smile and we shook hand.
Before I could say anything more, he said" by the way, Nandu, Very very happy birthday"and then thanking him we all settled on bed, and talked to each other, and I got to know, that actually they were brothers from other mother, they knew each other so well, and were so cool. I had just met Manik, but was comfortable with him, not fully, but very much, moe than I expected I will. Our chatting, and bhai and manik's arguing session- who is going to win today's cricket match- when momma called us for dinner. Gosh, these guys are crazy about cricket...huh...
When we went to dining room, I greeted Manik's parents and they also wished me, and then I got some more gifts from them, and we had cut the cake and had fun time with everyone.
