Nandini

I was so happy till evening that I am getting married to the love of my life but now everything has changed. I am married but to Manik bhaiya. Ammi and badi ammi came to asked my opinion for this marriage and I said yes .

I chose dhruv and he left me, I have seen ammi and abbu crying that everyone will taunt me, so I thought to do what everyone is saying but that time I was not in my senses and said yes without thinking about him.

What was his fault of dhruv ran, it was me who loved dhruv,it was my decision to get married to him but in all this Manik bhaiya life got destroyed,I know I shouldn't call him bhaiya now because he is my husband but I have never seen him from that angle .

"Nandini utho, your filter coffee is here" I heard Manik bhai...aagh Manik calling me but I couldn't open my eyes  and my head was hurting too much due to all the crying done yesterday.

" I couldn't open eyes" I whispered.

"Wait " He replied and I guess went outside the room. Soon I felt something cold which is ice I guess on my eyes. He rubbed is slowly over my eyes and I felt better.

" Better" He asked after the ice got finished and I opened my eyes.

"Hmmm, but my head is hurting too much" I replied sitting again bedrest.

"That's because you have cried alot yesterday,here is biscuit first have it and I am giving you medicine you will feel better" He said giving me biscuits. I dipped it in coffee and have it. After that he gave me medicine and water.

" Will you be okay to go outside after 1 hour" He asked looking at me.

" Where" I asked.

" Beach house" He replied.

"Ok" I said.

"Okay then freshen up and get ready I will wait for you" He said and went outside while I kept looking at his retreating figure.His whole life is destroyed because of me and instead of getting angry at me he is taking care of me.

Manik

I got ready in a floral shirt and pant and went downstairs waiting for her. I saw ammi and choti ammi on dinning table eating their breakfast silently when choti ammi noticed me. Others must have left for work.

"Manik beta waha kyu khade ho, aa jao nasta ready hai" Choti ammi said.

" Nahi, Me and Nandini are going to the beach house,we will have breakfast in the way and we will return tomorrow " I said to everyone and before anyone could ask anything I saw nandini coming downstairs in a yellow sharara.Her hair were open ,she was looking beautiful. She came and stood beside me.

" Meri beti kitni pyari lag rahi hai kisi ko Nazar na Lage" Ammi said putting a black dot behind her ear.

" Tu thik hai beta" Choti ammi said coming near her and she only nodded.

"Mein bahar jakar car nikalta hoon" I said to nandini sensing that choti ammi wants to talk to her something.

Nandini

"Nandu beta hum jaante ki tumhari or Manik ka nikaah sahi halat mein nahi hua hai par beta ab ye rishta ho chuka hai to isse nibhane ki koshish karna" Ammi said caressing my hair.

"Ammi kal mujhe hosh nahi tha par aap sab to the phir aaplog ne ye nikaah ka faisla kyu le liya" I question ammi.

"Tera matlab kya hai beta" This time badi ammi asked.

" Badi ammi ham dono ne kabhi ek dusre ko uss nazar se nahi dekha hai, Galti meri thi ,Maine dhruv se pyar Kiya par wo mujhe chorkar bhag gaya pata nahi kyu par isme aapke bete ki kya galti usse kyu aaplog ne iss mein samil Kiya ,kya pata wo kissi or se pyar karte ho,kisi or se nikah karna chahte ho" I started to crying saying that.

" Nandu beta Manik kisi se pyar nahi karta agar karta to Hume pata hota or rahi baat tum dono ke purane rishton ki to beta kabhi kabhi naye rishto ko jodne ke liye purana rishta todna padta hai , tum dono bahar jao or baat Karo ek dusre ke sath, usse ab Bhai ki nazro se dekhna band karke sauhar ki nazar se dekho ,mein jaanti hu ki ye itna aasaan nahi hoga bachpan ka rishta hai tumlog ka par ek baar koshish karke dekhna beta" Badi ammi explained and I looked toward her.

" Waada kar beta tu koshish karegi na" Badi ammi said forwarding her hand toward me ,I looked toward ammi ,she nodded and I kept my hand on her hand.

" Mein waada karti hoon ki mein Puri koshish karungi" I said making both of them smile when I heard Him calling me.

"Bye ammi ,badi ammi" I said hugging them both.

"Thank you " I said as he opened the car door for me.

He settled on the driver seat and started the car. I leaned on my seat and closed my eyes as I know it is 2 hour ride from here when I heard music playing and I opened my eyes and looked at him.

" You never go anywhere without listening music " He replied and I looked at him for mini seconds and again closed my eyes when I felt the car stopping.

"What happened " I asked him.

"Breakfast nahi karna hai" He told me that's when I looked around to realise that he had stopped at a dhaba. We went inside and sat on the chair opposite to each other. He placed the order for both of us.

"Waise for your information mein kisi or se pyar nahi karta naahi kisi se nikaah karna chahta tha" 
He heard my talk with ammi and badi ammi.

" You heard our talk" I asked him and he nodded.

" I am sorry nandini I was just coming to call you when I heard it accidentally " he explained himself.

" It's ok, infact I am sorry meri wajah se aapki zindagi kharab ho rahi hai " I whispered looking at my hand.

"Nandini..." Before I could speak anything waiter bought the breakfast.After completing the breakfast I paid the bill then again we left for our journey again with our silence.
