MANAN :GIVING LIFE A SECOND CHANCE

Chapter-12

After dropping Mahir to the school Manik reached his office when he entered his cabin he saw his mother figure that is Swati Khurana waiting along with another woman and Aryaman with an upset yet angry face

Manik- ma you here

Swati- manik you are here ...come

Manik instead of going to the sitting area in his cabin moved towards his desk

Manik- ma please I have a lot of work ...anything else, we can talk about at home

Swati- Manik I am here because the matter is important you see I didn't want to bring this matter home because I am giving mahir time

Manik (sighed)- what is the matter

Swati (introducing the girl)- Manik she is Kaira Gupta...I met their family at the charity event recently, I thought she is perfect for you ...guptas and Khurana have been partners for a long time

Manik- ma you know I am not interested

Swati - Manik please don't be rude Kaira go on

Kaira(shaking hands)- hello Mr. Malhotra it is finally nice to meet you

Manik- same here miss Gupta but I am definitely not glad to meet you

Kaira- well we just met don't draw conclusions yet

Swati- I and Aryaman will leave you guys can talk

With that, she pulled Aryaman with her and moved out of the cabin

When they exited the cabin they saw Nisha rushing to meet Manik ....stopping her

Swati- Nisha please don't disturb them now

Nisha- ma'am it is really important

Swati(not letting her complete)- no whatever it is it can wait

Aryaman- don't behave like this mom ...this might be important

Swati- you shut up and don't interfere and you Nisha if you enter the cabin I will make sure you lose the job...whatever the problem is you find a way, they are paying you for that

Aryaman gave an apologetic look to Nisha

Aryaman- mom stop what if it is actually important and Manik is going to be very angry if he comes to know later( turning to Nisha) tell me Nisha what is the matter

Nisha-sir when I was leaving today I received a call from Mahir's school that he got into a fight with his classmate in the assembly ...they tried calling sir but they couldn't reach him

Swati- but why will the school call you and not me or Aryaman

Nisha- ma'am sir has provided my number in case of emergency

Swati- OK anyway don't disturb him I will go and pick up Mahir

Swati left without giving them a chance to answer

Nisha( to Aryaman) - sir what to do now

Aryaman-i don't know... let's wait till Mahir gets here

Nisha - yes and sir even Nandini went to pick Mahir

Aryaman - why

Nisha-actually sir when I received the call even Nandini was with me so when I told her the matter she left to pick him up

Aryaman (nodded but still unsure )- you carry on will see

Nisha nodded and left
