Chapter 9

After a few days of contemplating, Nandini decided to visit Manik's home to personally deliver the cash she had intended to give to his family members. But she was struggling with how to convince them to take the money, as she knew they had a strong sense of pride and may not want to accept charity. She hoped that by visiting Manik's home and having a conversation with them, she would be able to find a way to present the money in a way that was respectful and would not hurt their pride.

As Nandini entered Manik's home, she was surprised to see Neonika, Manik's mother, inside with Soha, who was apparently helping her to sell the family's jewelry at a jewelry shop to get the money to pay the next bank installment. Nandini felt a mix of emotions, from surprise, sadness, and guilt. She realized that the family was going through a tough financial situation and she wanted to handover money to them without making them feel uncomfortable or embarrassed. She also felt a sense of admiration for Neonika and Soha's resourcefulness and their determination to find a solution to their financial problems

Soha, Nandini called her, causing Neonika and Soha to feel a tinge of sadness as they knew Nandini had just witnessed their uncomfortable situation. However, Neonika put on a brave face and smiled, saying 'come inside Nandini'."

Nandini, feeling a bit uneasy, forced a nervous smile and followed them inside, taking a seat next to Soha."

Neonika, trying to ease the tension in the room, asked casually, 'How are you?'"

Aunty, do you and Soha truly believe that I am good friend?," Nandini asked, with a hint of uncertainty in her voice.

What kind of a foolish question is that, Nandini? You are not only my good friend but my best friend as well. Moreover, you are an amazing human being," Soha said genuinely.

"I am aware that you have been going through financial difficulties and as a friend, I have heard that Raj uncle has started a small company. Given that your son, Manik, is not here, why can't your daughter, Soha, take charge of the company and run the business? This way, you and your family won't have to suffer like this anymore," Nandini advised, with genuine concern for their well-being".

After Manik suddenly left home, Dad was left in a state of deep depression. If Dad was like before, we wouldn't be facing these financial difficulties. Now Dad has completely detached himself from everything," Soha explained to Nandini

"But we can't just sit here and do nothing. How long are you guys going to suffer like this? Soha, you should become the chairman of your Dad's company. I know you love your brother and you can't take his place, but at least until he comes back, you should take care of the company ," Nandini urged, with a note of determination in her voice.

For a few minutes, the three of them didn't say anything, Nandini looked at Neonika who was deep in thought.

Aunty, please consider this idea. You and Soha should think about it," Nandini implored.

"You're right, Nandini, but Soha doesn't have any knowledge or experience in running a business," Neonika said.

"It's okay, Aunty, she can learn slowly," Nandini reassured.

"How can I do that, Nandini? The company is already in the red and facing financial difficulties. I don't think I have the capability to turn it around," Soha responded, with a hint of doubt and uncertainty in her voice.

"If you're worried about financial issues, I have around 50 lakhs in my bank account. I just withdrew the money, and if you agree, I'll become your business partner and even help you run the company," Nandini offered, thinking that this would be a way to give them the money that Manik had asked her to give to them.
