MaNan FF CH1 UPDATED!

Hello all, I've just joined KY2's IF only a month ago. I'm deeply saddened about how it ended so abruptly, and I wish to keep MaNan alive always. One way we can do so is through all of our writers. I decided I want to take up a story myself. Please let me know if I should continue, and feel free to tell me your views.

PROLOGUE

"Screwed, I'm so screwed", thought Nandini as she tried to call for her third cab but to no avail. Today was just not her lucky day. Since she had woken up, she had managed to burn her favorite blue shirt while ironing, accidentally dropped her toothbrush in the toilet, and had spilled coffee on her second outfit change. Now she couldn't get a darn cab for the life of her. She called up the woman who's house she was heading towards "Hello Maam, Yes Maam I will be there in just 5 minutes. I am running a bit late because of traffic. Yes I am coming, sorry maam. Yes Bye Bye." Ugh. Frustrated, she decided to try to make a run for the 15 minute drive away Malhotra home.

In our Malhotra home, Manik and his 2-months pregnant wife Aliya Malhotra were waiting to interview their new potential housekeeper. Manik wanted Alya to be of ease during her pregnancy, and wanted to provide her with all the comforts and luxuries because he had enough money. He checked his Rolex for what seemed to be the 500^th time in 10 minutes, and stood up off his couch and hurled "Alya, this is heights. I have a meeting to go to in 45 minutes, and the maid is late for her damn interview. She hasn't even been hired, and she's already showing attitude. Leave her. We can find much better ones." Alya lightly smiled, and walked towards Manik and ruffled his hair. "Baby, you know na, ke Mrs.Kakkad said she knows her. She's a young college girl, she needs the money, and she sounds very sweet." She grabbed Manik's hand and placed it on her belly. "Now that we know we have a little one on the way, we must get her acquainted with the ways of our home so when it becomes harder for me to do anything, she can handle with ease." Manik gave her a hug and kissed her head. "Okay baby, 5 more minutes, but she will get an earful from me." Alya sighed, she really hoped the girl would be here in 5 minutes or else...

;) Let me know if you think I should continue, and leave suggestions below.

Character Sketch

Nandini Murthy was anything but an average 20-year-old girl. After graduating high school at the age of 16, she went on to study business and finance in college, and is now in her final year of Uni. She is an intelligent free-thinker, with a beautiful heart and sassy mouth. She can be the sweetest girl, but beware when she is angry. Her family consists of her mom, Nandita, and her 16 year old brother Rishabh. Nandini's dad recently passed away in an accident, so Nandini has decided to help take up the responsibility of her family. She decides to apply as a housekeeper at the Malhotra's at the behest of Mrs.Kakkad, the sweetshop owner.

Manik Malhotra is a savvy businessman, to say the least. He's intelligent, ruthless, hard-working and attractive. Despite all the unnecessary attention from women in his life, he remains faithful to his wife of 1 year, Mrs.Alya Malhotra. She is the one person he is willing to bend down for.

Alya Malhotra is Manik's wife of 1-year. She is now 1-month pregnant with his baby. She was an orphan at a very young age, but worked hard and went to school and persisted to earn herself a college degree in education, since she loves kids. Manik met her in a board meeting since he is one of the trustee's at where she worked, and they fell in love, and got married. She is a very warm soul, kind, sweet, patient, and understanding.

Cabir Dhawan is an asshole, putting it nicely. This guy is the definition of an ullu ka patha. Haha, he's Manik's business partner, and strangely, one of his few good friends. It's not that he's a bad friend, or a bad business partner, no no, he's very intelligent. Unfortunately though he uses all his brains in running after women. He will be a pretty gray character.

Nandita Murthy- ex-widow of Abhimanyu Murthy. She was a devoted wife, and is deeply saddened at the sudden demise of her husband. She now has her 2 kids, rishabh and nandini to look after and is working towards giving them a good education, so that they may not be helpless as she was when her husband passed.

Abhimanyu Murthy- Nandini's dad, worked in the business field, and passed away due to a car accident. Still not sure whether the accident was his fault, or someone else's.

Rishabh Murthy- Nandini's younger brother of 16-years. He is a funny, studious with a great heart. He cares about his mom and sister a lot, and wishes he could have stepped up instead of Di, because he is now the man of the house. Is focused in school and studies, working to try to give back to his mom and sister.

Other characters will be introduced later on. J

Hey guys should I continue this or no? SHould I post a Chapter 1? Is anyone interested?

It's smthg new n different..

Chapter 1

Nandini Murthy headed to Mrs.Kakkad's in a worried state. Exams were coming up, and because of the stress of looking for a new job, she was finding it difficult to focus on her studies. She was in her final year of Uni for her BBA, and was going to go on for her MBA as well. She knew that money had become a major issue since her father had passed away, and she took it upon herself to take care of the family. Her mom was unable to work as she had no degree and Nandini refused to let her get a job that required heavy physical efforts. Because of this though, Nandini had to find time to balance school and home life, and she struggled, which caused her to lose her job 3 days ago. Now she was under stress to find a new job so they wouldn't have to pay this month's rent late again.

Today, however, she wanted to put all worries aside as Rishabh had just scored 100 on his math exam, and she wanted to bring home sweets to celebrate. She headed into Mrs.Kakkad's with a smile, as Mrs.Kakkad was too nosy and she didn't want her to intrude more into her matters. Mrs.Kakkad's only job in life was that of a distorted vaccuum cleaner: to suck in information from certain others, and throw it back, with a little more masala of course, to different others. Regardless, she always gave Nandini a discount for mithai because she knew of her situation. So Nandini remained a loyal customer.

Nandini stepped in and greeted her, " Namaste Mrs.Kakkad kaisi hai aap?". Mrs.Kakkad turned around with a smile and said " Oh Kudiye ki haal hai twada, Mummy, Rishabh putr sab theek eh?, Kidaya bhar liye iss mahina da?" Oh Mrs.Kakkad. Nandini ignored her question, gave her a sweet smile and replied, "Aunty sab theek hai aur Rishabh ke ache marks ane par celebration ka socha, toh I came for his favorite jalebis." Mrs.Kakkad gave her a smile and replied, "Oye no problem Kudiye, tu hun ruk jaa, abhi banake landi hu twadi jalebiyan, fresh fresh. Oh kya eh na, ke abhi abhi ek admi aya tha, te naal 3500 jalebiyan le gaya. Ode biwi pregnant he, te oh sab nu jalebiyan de dibban bhejna chaunda eh."

Nandini smiled externally, but internally sighed. She was a strong devotee of her Aiyappa, and never doubted his plans. She knew whatever happens is always for a reason. Yet, she always thought it was strange how this world works. Here she was struggling to gather her month's rent, and there were people out there who could pay 10 times more for mere jalebis. Regardless, she was thankful that she was better than so many. She sent up a silent prayer to Aiyappa to keep his kripa on her always.

Mrs.Kakkad's voice broke her out of her thoughts, "Kudiye, oh banda keh rah tha, ke onu housekeeper di zurat hegi, because his wife is pregnant na? Toh maine twada number ona nu de diya eh, they will call kudiye. Tu phone nu chak lena, and you accept the job, oh change log eh kudiye." Nandini was extremely grateful. She knew this was all Aiyappa's doing, she was thankful He never left her side.

Nandini pounced over the boundary and jumped on Mrs.Kakkad. "Thank you thank you so much Mrs.Kakkad." She ran out of the shop in a state of excitement.

"Oye Kudiye Jalebiyan te naal le jaa. Chalo Chado", Mrs Kakkad sighed as she sat back down in her chair and began munching on them.
