Hello Fam. As I have mentioned earlier, these few chapters are a bit serious. Kindly have patience. :)

Happy Reading...

Morning 11 AM, Murthy Mansion

Nandu's room

Nandu was playing on her mobile, still sleeping on the bed when Raman enters her room. Seeing him, she covers her face with the duvet.

Raman(amused): Nandu, you aren't sleeping.

Nandu(shouts): I am sleeping.

Raman(chuckles): Acha, I am not here for scolding you. I got strict orders from your best friend not to say you a word.

Nandu(excitedly removed her duvet from face): Really? My best friend is the best.

Raman(taking her into a side hug): Nandu, kal jo bhi hua, don't repeat it again.

Nandu(stuttered): Papa, Soha..

Raman(explained lovingly): Nandu, I know that's a dare. Dekh Manik is matured enough, he understood you even before knowing the situation. Hamesha aisa nahi hota na, beta. What if he believed all those words of yours? You could have lost him, right?

Nandu started thinking when Raman got a call. Patting her head affectionately, he left her room.

Message

Manik - Nandini, are you awake? If yes, how are you? If no, jaldi uth. I need to see you.

Nandu - I am up. I am fine. But I need some 🌟🌟🌚🌙

Manik - Chand tare kahan se le aaun? Aur woh bhi din mein.

Nandu - Manik, Chand tare nahi, I need some space.

Manik - Kitne acre ka space chahiye?

Nandu - Manik yaar, I am serious.

Manik - What are you doing?

Nandu - I am thinking.

Manik - Acha, message me once you are done. Otherwise main shaam mein aaunga.

Message Ends

After putting her mobile into silent mode, she starts thinking.

Next Day, Evening

Murthy Mansion, Living Room

A frustrated Manik slumps down on the sofa in front of Raman. Aryaman accompanied him as he was equally worried for Nandini.

Manik(hopefully): Did she say something?

Raman nods in a no.

Manik(groaned in frustration): Papa this is the limit yaar. She is avoiding me since yesterday. Call bhi nahi utha rahi. Only a message every time I call. 'I need some space'. Itna space tho Outer Space mein bhi nahi hoga jitna yeh ladki mujhe kal subah se maang rahi hai.

Not having an idea of how to console him, Raman gives Manik a sympathetic look.

Manik(worried): Did she eat anything since yesterday?

Raman(sadly): Ishitha is making her eat. She isn't even allowing me to come into her room.

Manik(sarcastically): Nuclear Bomb bana rahi hai kya andar.

Raman(puzzled): Manik, why aren't you going inside? Tum dono balcony se bhi jate ho na.

Manik(pissed): Nahi. I am giving her 'space'. (Air quoting the word Space)
