WONDERFUL FAMILY
NANDINI POV
We all girls are sitting in beautiful outdoor patio while boys are on sitting on bar next to our side having there time of life with drinks. I never knew that they have there own personal lavish Patio bar with all kinds of imported drinks.
Manik's house is so huge and breathtaking. I am scared to get lost in here. Every interior is so lavish, well defined and beautiful. I dont think I ever saw this beautiful mansion ever not even in magazines.
Well but on other hand people in this house and Manik relatives are more beautiful inside out. They paled up with me so easily as if they new me since years specially all girls. They really are a beautiful personality not even for a second they let me feel out of place. They all are are belong from a rich family and are married ro world well know youngest business tycoons except Navya she too came from a middle class family like me.
I still can't believe I am actually sitting between the faces whose husbands are everyday headlines of the tabloids.
They all are niggling about there husbands right now making me laugh carefree after so long making me forget my every miseries. I came to know the fact that their husbands are so possessive and protective over them and Manik is also one of them which is very transparently clear to me. So they are actually giving me lessons how to handle his possesivness because in beginning it doesn't bother but afterwards it started to give massive headache sometimes.
"Well!! I love it when Maddy become possessive over me he looks so hot" Pari chirped.
"Who is Maddy??" I asked in confusion.
"Ohh!!! Pari's boyfriend and ofcourse another member of that young hot billionaire gang" Mukti replied shrugging her shoulders pointing towards men on bar counter.
"Then where is he and how come I never heard his name"i asked frowning and they chuckled.
"Shh!!don't talk to loud about any other guy in presence of your husband. Your oh-so-possessive husband won't appreciate you talking about other guy so desperately"they teased I rolled my eyes and experience is dripping from their voice.
"I'm nt desperate I am just asking." I defend.
"Ok!!ok!! He is actually Madhyam Singhania and is out of India for an important meeting" shivanya told me giving me a,shock.
"Madhyam Singhania!!!" I replied in shock and they look amused.
"Why a face like this??" Pari asked snapping her fingers in front of my face. She is looking nervous and a little uncomfortable before speaking "why you know him??I mean everyone knows him you are exclaiming like you know him other than tabloids"
"Ohh!! Yeah !! Actually was the guest of honour on our graduation day" I told them playing with my saree pallu.
He was actually the one who awarded me with the gold medal and certificate in MBA on our graduation day. I didn't wanted to upset pari but I remembered him still because he actually was the most flirtatious guy I have ever met with those cheesy pick up lines with me and almost begged me to take me out on a date. I don't know at that time if he was in a relationship with Pari or not but still I didn't feel like to tell her may be he used to of doing all this flirting with every girl.
"But Nyonika aunty said you are a textile designer"Navya asked.
"Oh yeah!! Actually I have a degree in MBA but after finishing MBA I applied for a one year course of textile designing because I was fascinated with this art since childhood." I told her with a smile on my face and they gave me an impressed look.
"Now I think you are going to be the right hand for Nyo aunt's boutique" shivanya replied excitedly.
"Well!! I think I should go to prepare lunch for you all because its my first rasoi. Mom must be waiting" I took my leave saying this and was about to leave the patio when shivanya's voice stopped.
"Wait!!Nandini. I will help you too"she suggested with a smile followed by other girl.
"No its ok . I will manage you guys chill here"
"Oh come on don't be formal ok!!"saying this they all got up but this time men voice stopped. They almost jumped from there chairs in attempt to reach us quick.
"Where you woman being off" harshad asked caressing his brows while shivanya rolled her eyes.
"None of your business. Tum log jao na no b kr rahe the continue karo" navya said arrogantly and I felt bad for a moment but funny too watching men's faces.
They actually are a wonderful people!!
"Aren't you guys planning and plotting about leaving us??" Cabir asked suspiciously pulling Navya to him and in response she hitted on his chest.
"Kash ye itna easy hota"Mukti sighed helplessly puffing air from her mouth.
"Am I that bad baby??" Abhi asked with a hurtful face pulling Mukti to him.
"I was kidding baby." Mukti cajoled him. I was watching them in aww.
"Nandini!!let me tell you one thing. Ye girls kuch bhi kahe inki baat mat sunna. Na jane itne der me kya kya earfilling ki hogi."he suggested sternly coming to my side taking me in a side hug and I almost flinched with the sudden proximity.
"Excuse me!!hum teri biwi ke kaan kyu bharenge. Hum ne use sirf sach bataya hai sirf or sirf such. Aage to vo khud samajhdar hai ."mukti snapped on Manik.
"Matlb tumlog sach me uske kaan bhar rahi thi" manik asked amused. "Don't play with my wife innocence" I suppresses my smile on their cute bickering.
"Oh hello!! Mr Malhotra starting me sbko lgta hai their wives are innocent pr sachai dheere dheere samne aati hai" harshad jumped in between with an experienced advising tone which made me gape at him in disbelief while shivanya smacked his chest annoyed.
"Mtlb main tumhe ab innocent nahi lgti to kya ab main tumhe chudail lgti hu. How dare you" Shivanya is furious continuously smacking on his chest not even letting harshad speak who was looking scared now open and closing his mouth like a fish and we all tried to supress our laugh.
"Darling!!come on. I wasn't talking about you. "He said loudly holding her hand tightly and pulled her in his chest for a hug "You are the most innocent soul on this planet" he said this line sarcastically which was only understandable to us.
"Nandini!!inka on off romance chalta rahega lets go main hi tumhe kitchen me help krti hu." Pari finally decided to speak and I nodded before walking away with the girls voice following us asking to wait.
This family is really interesting and unique!!!
We walked into the lavish black and white color coordinated ultra modern kitchen which can make anyone's jaw drop onto floor with all kind of ultra modern equipments. Everything was electronic and built in. It is 4x-of our kitchen back in manglore.We found mom in kitchen already instructing servants about today's lunch.
"Mom!!" I called her softly to gain her attention she quickly turned with a smile.
"Are Nandini!!main bs tumhe hi bulane ja rahi thi. Sara kitchen ready hsi tumhe jo bhi cook krna hai ab kr sakto ho." Mom said with a smile and I was little nervous about the menu because I haven't any knowledge about rich people diet and eating habits specially when they are opposite to us in culture."kya hua nandini??" Mom voice drqgged me out from thought.
"Vo muje punjabi dishes nahi aati or kisi k choices bhi nahi pata" I mumbled in embarrassment looking down. Mom just smiled and about to speak something when I heard Shivanyas coming in kitchen with Navya and mukti following behind cutting mom in between.
"That's why we told you to help you. And Nyo aunt we don't need your servants today because we girls are enough" she smiled saying this making me relieved.
Mom smiled and left the room before saying a best of luck to me.Navya came to me with a list showing me I frowned before taking it.
"Ye kya hai??" I asked.
"Isme sabki choices h bs isme se tumhe jo dish easy lage vo pick karo or bana lo or agr problem hui to we are here to supervise you." Mukti stated cheerfully snd I smiled before thanking them
.
They actually are the best family!!!
"But tumlog ne isme kisi ka naam to ni likha hai to ye kon si choice kiski hai." I frowned before reading it again.
"That's why ki tum or nervous na ho ki tumhe kiski choice banani chahiye or ye vese most common choices hai. Jo sbko pasand hai." Shivanya explained.
"Okk!!"
I read and re read the page before collecting ingredients most of the dishes in there were alomost easy. Some of them were non veg which I actually ignored because I am not the non veg people. I eventually selected four main course dishes and the desert will be of my choice.
"So konsi dishes select ki tumne" shivanya asked.
"Actually!! Dum aloo, matar paneer, veg biryani, dal makhani with tandoori roti and puri. Or desert me I think cake bake kr lete hai. So ??" I asked them nervously and their mouth was touching the jaw and I frowned in confusion.
"Koi..koi problem hai??"I asked again feeling more nervous.
"Tumhe Manik ki choices pata thi??" Navya asked in disbelief and giving some hints.
"To kya ye sb manik ki choices hai??" I asked suddenly feeling shy .
"Yeah!!"they just replied in one word "but don't worry sb ki choices bhi yahi hwi. Ye most common favourite dishes hai. So lets start."
We all started to work on lunch after alloting our works. We all are working effortlessly with some jokes cracking in between having fun by pulling each others leg.
I never thought even in my dream that I got married in a home like this full of love and so much love between them. I always heard about hypocritical cruel in laws but in my case everything us different and like a fairy tale. I mean I got mother and father like parents in law, sister and friends like sister in law. I don't know why tabloids prints so mean about them when they are the most wonderful person I have ever met without any pride and indifference. They never even let me miss my family the moment I step in this house and today after meeting them its like it's not my second day but I am living here since years. Suddenly a thud of falling something pulled me out from my thoughts and I startling turned around to find Navya with amount of flour on her saree and some on ground while Mukti and Shivanya laughing on her and Navya was making faces.
"Oh no!!meri saree kharab ho gai" navya cried.
"You should have use apron no" Mukti mocked.
They all were teasing navya while she was looking annoyed and upset about what to do with her already ruined saree. I felt bad for her and glared mukti and shivanya warningly.
"Don't worry. Almost sb kuch ho gaya hai. Tum jao upr mere room me meri koi saree ya suit me change krlo" I told her with a smile.
"Really???you won't mind na??"She asked innocently and I nodded in assurance then she walked away after thanking me cheerfully.
We again get back to work when Navya left. We were actually on last preparation of lunch only cake was left to bake. So shivanya and Mukti were making puri when I was preparing the better for belgian chocolate cake by using chestnuts, Belgian chocolate ganache,butter cream brown sugar etc. I love baking cakes since childhood so I know almost all kind of cake around the world to bake. I always search about different recipes of cake.
It makes me feel happy..
.
I am ready with my batter and its time to put it in already pre heated oven. I put it in the oven and look over everything. Mukti and Shivanya also looking done with final touches but Navya isn't seen anywhere around it been late. I guess she must be having problem to find something to wear.
"Mukti!!shivanya.!!everything is almost done. But navya still not around she must be going confuse there. I am going to help her"I informed them and they nodded with a assuring smile. I smiled back before taking off my apron .
I was heading towards my room to check on Navya wondering why she isn't find anything not appropriate for her. Eventually I reached near my door and pushed it open.
"Really???you won't mind na??"She asked innocently and I nodded in assurance then she walked away after thanking me cheerfully.
