Manan ff:Life With My Knight

New beginning

Malhotra Mansion
Mumbai

Nandini tried to sleep but could not. There was a knock on the door and Neyonika peeped in..

Neyonika- Nandu?? Mein disturb toh nae krrae na beta???

Nandini- Neyoma aaea na... aap vaha kyu khari hai. Acha kiya aap aagae, mein bore horae thi aur mujhe neend bhe nae aarae.

Neyonika sat beside her and she shifted her head in Neyonika's lap.

Neyonika- tujhe koe baat khatak rae hai Nandu??? Kuch kehna hai???

Nandini nodded her head in a no... Caressing her hair Neyonika spoke

Neyonika- apni maa se kya chupana hmm... Manik ne kuch kaha???

Nandini- nae Neyoma unhone kuch nae kaha. Infact he's trying his best to make me comfortable around.

Neyonika- toh phir kya baat hai??? Tere iss chuppi ke kya vjah hai beta???

Nandini- mein aaj Ishima ko bohot miss krrae hu Neyoma. Bohot nervous hu. Agar koe glti hogae toh... mein sb kuch kese handle krungi.... Mein aapsb ko janti hu. Our marriage was not a typical arrange marriage phir bhe sb kuch, sb log naey lgrae hai Neyoma. Kb, kise, konsi baat buri lgjae.... nahi janti mein. Bs sbko khush rakhna chahti hu pr bohot drr lgraha hai. Esa bhe nae hai aap sb yaa Manik mera saath nae denge pr yeh... yeh feeling mein kya kru kuch samajh nae aara.

Neyonika passed her the glass of water and calmed her down. She then gestured her to continue. Nandini lay in her lap again and continued.

Nandini- aaj subha jb hum hotel mein thay, before coming down, I had tied my hair. Manik likes my hair open. Unho ne kuch nae kaha aur clip khol diya. The way he was looking at me, mein ek pal ke lia drgae thi ke kahi meine shaadi ke pehle din koe glti toh nae krdi. I know aap sochrae hongi mein pagl jese baat krrae hu mujhe kuch samajh nae aara Neyoma. Phir vo jb hum lounge mein bethe thay, vo jewellery vaali baat.... Mein tb bhe drgae thi Neyoma. Meine jewellery bs islia nae pehna 'cz I'm not comfortable with heavy jewellery aur humme travel krna tha. Pr vaha sb bethe thay aur mein dubara nervous hogae. Mujhe samajh nae aara tha ke mein kya bolu aur phir Manik made an excuse. Aaj Ishima ke bohot yaad aarae hai Neyoma... bohot...

Neyonika hugged her tight as few tears escaped her eyes too.

Neyonika- bs mera bacha. Ese rote nae hai. Galtiya sb se hoti hai Nandu. Galtiya karna galat nae hai pr usse badhkr apni gltiyo se sikhna hai. Mein yeh nae kehti ke tujhse aage gltiya nae hongi yaa humsb mein anbn nae hogi. Pr samajh daari unn galtiyo se sikhne mein hai. Apni ego ko side mein rakhke baat ko bigarne se bachane mein hai. Humesha yaad rakh beta ke hum sb kuch nae samet skte. Mein janti hu tu nervous hai aur nervous hona jayz bhe hai. Mein bs itna kahungi ke agar galti hai toh usse maano aur agar nae hai toh khud ke lia stand loo. Tujhe pta hai jb mein iss ghr mein shaadi krke aai thi na toh mein bhe tere tarah nervous thi. Tb Manik ke daadi me mujhe smjhaya tha. Nandu yu chup chap bethne se kya hoga?? Kuch nae..... go with the flow. Sb thiik hoga hmm....

Nandini- thank you Neyoma. I needed this.

Neyonika- aur haa yaad rakhna iss shaadi se sirf rishtoon ke naam badle hai. Pehle bhe tu mere beti thi aur ab bhe hai aur hamesha rahegi. Bs humara ek aur rishta judgya hai vo hai saas aur bahu ka smjhi...

Nandini smiled and nodded.

Neyonika- Nandu meik chahti hu, tu iss baat ko Manik ke saath bhe share kr. Ek couple mein yeh choti choti understanding bohot zruri hoti hai. Tu samajh gae hogi, mein kya kehna chahti hu...
