"My" Soul! "My" Love!

Chapter 45

"Kannaa, vaapas kab aa rahi ho?"
"Amms.... voh main..."
"Kya kahu main Amms se. Mujhe abhi vaapas nahi jaana hai, esa main kya kahu ta ki Amms convince ho jaaye" {Nandini's worried thoughts}
"Amms" 

Suddenly, Prerna came inside the room to call Nandini for breakfast. 

***
"Nandu naasta kare, chalo" Nandini placed her palm over the phone so that her Amms won't hear them
"Parii, voh Amms ka call hai, voh puch rahi hai ki main kab vaapas .."
"What!? Ithni jaldi?!, unse kaho na ki tum aur din ruk rahi hai"
"Nahi Pari Amms nahi maanenge... kya tum?"
"Phone do"

***
"Hello Kanna?"
"Amms, main hu Prerna"
"Arrey Prerna beta, kaise ho tum? Amms ko maaf karde bacha voh achanak se kuch kaam beech mein aa gaya tha, varna hum zaroor aate"
"Nahi Amms, main aap se naraaz hu, bahut naraaz hu. Main bhi toh aapki poti hu na!"
"Bachaa, iss baar maaf karde apni Amms ko, par teri shaadi mein main ek mahine pehle hi aa jaaungi aur Amms ki taraf se ek surprise bhi hai"
"Sachi Amms, aap ek mahine pehle aayenge?!Pakka?"
"Haa, haa pakka"
"Ok phir toh maaf kiya aapko. But meri ek condition hai, tab tak Nandini yaha rahegi, meri paas"
"Arrey, ese kaise?! Nandu vaha kaise?! Matlab itne din vahi the na, phir!"
"Ok bye Amms, mujhe aapse baat nahi karni hai, aaj pehli baar maine kuch maanga aap se par aap voh bhi nahi de paayi mujhe"

Prerna gave the phone to Nandini

"Amms"

"Nandu tu vahi ruk jaa"

"Really! Main ruk jaau!? Thank You Amms"

"Hmm, tu bhi aana nahi chahti hai na? Sab pata hai mujhe, apna khayal rakhna" Nandini squeezed her eyes shut

"Ji Amms, aap bhi" Call disconnected

***

"Maan gayi na? Mujhe pata tha.. Ab chalo sabko batate hai" Prerna held Nandini's hand

"Hmm Pari tu jaa, main aati hu"

"Ok" Prerna went from there

Nandini held her phone tightly,

"Manik... tumhe mujhe yaad karna hi padega"

"So, Plan kya hai?" Zubin asked Sid

"Plan yeh hai" Sid showed him his laptop screen

"Yeh kya!?.... Asia Communications?!"

"Agar humein uss Naveen aur Basu Publications, dono ke paas jaana hai, toh ek hi raasta hai, Business"

"Toh tum Kolkata mein business start kar rahe ho? and that too in media?!"

"Publications and Media,  dono individually bhi kaam karte hai and agar chaahe toh ek saath bhi"

"Ohhhhhh, ab samaj mein aaya, tum iss company ki through Basu Publications ki taraf badne ki planning hai"

"Asia Communications ab ek doobti huyi ship hai, jisse mein khareed kar bachane jaa raha hai. Maine email send kiya tha and they are responding to it positively, so you have to go there on behalf of Murthi Industries and fix a meeting. Hamare lawyer ko bhi call karo, ta ki saari papers jald se jald ready ho"

"Yess Boss, samjho ki ab Asia Communications humara hai"

Nandini is sitting in the balcony and thinking about her plan

"Mujhe Manik ke paas jaana hai, par ese hi chotti motti bahana bana ke nahi jaa sakti, kuch solid solution doondna padega, ta ki main Manik ke paas reh saku
.
.
Par kare bhi toh kya kare?"

Phone rings

"Bhaayi, aap iss vakt?! Sab theek hai na?"
"Haa Nanni, sab theek hai, par lagta hai tum theek nahi ho"
"Bhaayi, mujhe Manik se milna, usse mile bina main uska yaadaash vaapas kaise laau ? Mujhe kuch samaj nahi aa raha ki main kya karu!"
"Nannii, relax. Hum kuch raasta doondthe hai"
"Hmm... Bhaayi aapka plan kaisa chal raha hai? "

"Hmm, yaha ki ek media company hai, jisse main khareed raha hu, ta ki Basu Publications ke saath ek rishta bana paaye"

"Hmmm....."

"heyy Nanni, tum job kyu nahi kar leti?"

"job?!"

"Haa, yes! plan mil gaya. Tum Basu Publications mein job karo, phir Manik ko milna aasaan ho jaayega"

"Par kaise?!.. I mean..!!"

"Tumne music ke saath saath jo Accountancy ki thi, voh ab nahi toh kab use hogi. So iss qualifications se tumhe aasaani se job mil jaayegi"

"Arrey haan, yeh toh maine socha  hi nahi,"

"Nannii, voh Rajesh Kaakaa, matlab uncle Basus mein hi job karte hai na, so tumhara kaam aur bhi aasaan hai, unse baat karo"

"Superb, main abhi jaa ke baat karti hu, vaise.... Bhaayi ek baat puchu?"

"Haa, puchna"

"Aap yaha, matlab Sharma family ko jaante ho na bachpan se?"

"Tum achanak ese kyu puch rahe ho?"

"Nahi jab aap kal yaha aaya tha toh maine aapko notice kar rahi thi, aap bahut khoyi khoyi lag rahe the, aur Veena Bua aur Rajesh uncle ko aap galati se Veena Maa  aur Kaaka bula rahe the, jaise ki Pari Moloy uncle ko Kaaka bulate hai... so,,"

"Hmm.. Nanni,.. ha janta hu... main jab tumhe milunga, tab bataaunga"

"Okay, apna khayal rakhna"

"Hmm, aur tumhari saari certificates main Manglore se mangvaadunga"

"Thanks Bhaayi"
