chapter 20

Nandhini - will you both stop acting like a kid

Manik and yuvaan gave a look and departed from eachother.

Throughout the journey they kept quiet

Nandhini was inside laughing seeing the brothers and put on a serious face outside.

They reached the home, the least she was expected was happening there.

Manik mom was waiting with thali to welcome her and she got shocked to see vinusha there with manik mom.

When his mom taking aarthi, he noticed this and yuvaan took initiate to hold her   and tried to bring her inside.

Manik smoothly kept his hand before him and helped nandhini to get inside. She is slightly weak and allowed him to help her.

Dadi looked them in disbelief, after entering all sat down in hall and vinusha too sat between them.

Vinusha - nandhini, I hope you are fine and I hope you clear the misunderstandings that manik has on me.

Manik cleared his throat to get attention.

Manik - nandhini I think you need rest come.

Harika- not like she is injured, she can move up by herself. Drama queen

Manik- I think it would be better if outsiders doesn't poke their nose in our family matter.

Harika - manik

Manik - yuvaan, take nandhini upstairs.

Yuvaan immediately helped nandhini to go upstairs.

Harika you need to get this think right, you were a stranger and even now you are a stranger to this family.

And also I don't want some intruders roaming freely in my home. He pointed his finger at vinusha.

Harika - I'm your wife, be it real or namesake.

Manik - that's the reason you are still here. Harika I don't want you or  anyone who is associated with you near nandhini anymore.

He went upstairs saying this and he opened the door, he saw yuvaan making nandhini sit in bed and helped her to lean with the help of pillows.

Yuvaan saw manik and came out

Yuvaan - what happened?

Manik - nothing

Yuvaan - better take good care of her. After saying this he left

Manik make a annoyed expression.

Manik - did you saw that , that brat?

Nandhini couldn't control her smile.

Manik sat down beside her and caressed her head and asked what's happening nandhini?

I know something is there, I can sense it when vinusha is Here. What it is ?

Nandhini didn't said anything and remained quiet and her expression turned to stone.

Manik - ok, if you feel its not a right time. Take your own time.

But remember this one, I will not sit and watch when someone tries to hurt my family.

And you are mine no one messes with what mine.

Nandhini gulped with this and was very calm.

Just take rest, I will be back.

After manik left she couldn't be calm or able to lydown.

Nandhini pov

I'm sure manik have some doubt on vinusha, how I'm going to hide the truth.

Yuvaan was driving and some car continuously chasing him.

He is sure, they have some agenda. He smirked and skilledly drived making them lose him.

The car stopped, yuvaan appeared infront of them.

It was the bar girl, he felt irritated.

Yuvaan - hey, why the hell are you following me.

Naira - you didn't said you were a prince.

Jia - yuvaan, she is madly in love with you.

Naira - yes

Faisal - yuvaan, please give her a chance.

Yuvaan - I'm not interested in you, don't follow me hereafter.

He told this and walked away.

Vihana - he is hard to get, let's leave this.

Naira - I will get him.

All smiled with her.

In home

Nandhini was concious about manik and acting infront of him.

Manik can sense that she is trying to keep herself in control.

Manik let her be and gave her time, he went to office.

He asked his mom to take care of her.

Yuvaan was on his way to office.

This was the first time, he is entering the office.
