Arranged Marriage

part 19

Next day I was worried because Amms dint want to stay here.

She thinks " How can she stay at her grandaughter's sasural?"

We were on breakfast table then finally Amms broke her silence

"Neyonika ji ,I will leave today " Amms said surprising us all

"No you can't Amms, Doctors asked to have a regularly checkup and moreover there is no one to keep a good care of you in Manglore" Mom said

"But I can't stay here, Please " She said folding her hands.

I understand her ,I got some tears in my eyes

"Why not,Do you have any problem here? Tell us na Amms Please,We will arrange everything for you" Mom said

"Neyonika ji that is not the case, In fact you have taken very good care of me but I can't stay ,I can't stay at my grandaughter's  house for so long" Amms finally blurted out the truth.

"But Amms This is not done ,Aajkal ye sab kuch ni hota" Mom said

"Okay Amms you can't stay at your grandaughter's house but you can stay at your grandson's house " Manik said coming towards her.

"Means?" Amms asked confusing

"Am I not like your grandson?" Manik asked

"Yeah you are ,Of course " She said

"Then you can stay here " He said

"But Manik please beta samjho" She was still hesitant .

"Aaj se samjho Nandini aapki bahu and main aapka beta ,Fine Amms " He said smiling

"Amms for me please stay with us ,I really want to live with you , Please Amms " Manik requested.

And Amms agreed

Tears were rolling down my cheeks.

I was very happy for two reasons , First Amms finally agreed and second it was Manik who made her agree.

Finally we started living together.
I was very happy ,Amms was improving day by day.

Amms asked me about the bills,I had to tell her the truth as I can't hide it from her.

She was not okay so she transferred her property to Manik's Name,The house which she has in Manglore.

Manik dint know because he won't agree for it.

Days were passing peacefully and 2 months were finished but we stopped Amms for some more days.

But one unfortunate day ,Amms passed away suddenly.

Manik's Pov

Everything was going smooth but Amms passed away , Doctors told heart collapsed,But it was shocking how can she.

She was hale and hearty after kidney transplant ,How come she can ?

Nandini was silent after Amms's death, She was not crying and it is more dangerous.

I performed all the rituals which a son performs.

All the things were done ,We were left only with her memories.

It was 7th day Since Amms passed,Nandini is not sleeping properly , Neither She is eating properly..
She fainted many a times , Doctor asked us to take proper care of her ,Make her cry,
She was slipping into depression slowly but I had to stop her.

"Nandini" I called her but no response.

She was always sitting at one side of bed on the edge, Hugging her knees, looking in one direction ,Her face expressions neutral, Silent.

I could not see her like this.

"Nandini" I shaked her this time

"Hmm" She said

"Take your food and then medicine" I said

"I don't want" She said and again back to her position

"Amms is no more with us ,Don't you understand". I said shouting

I tried to make her cry,I was trying it since long and today after 7 days it was my successful attempt.

She finally cried ,She cried like a baby
She cried out loud in pain,She kept crying for hours and I let her.

She did cry for couple of hours.

I don't know what she has been thinking all the day.

Nandini's Pov

It has been 15 days since Amms passed away ,I don't remember what I did in these 15 days ,I am all alone now.I have no one in this world .I keep thinking this all the time.
Amms was like my mother,I lost my mother in childhood so Amms was everything for me but now I have no one.

"I am all alone in this world"

This one thought kept me busy whole day ,I miss Amms a lot ,I dont like anything to do now..

I just keep thinking about Amms only all the day.

Manik ,Mom and Mukti are taking Proper care of me ,They are giving me love but still I feel I Am alone without Amms.
