But some lady separates them saying "who are you? Stay away!" Thinking he is some stranger

"Dii yeh mere papa hai" Neha introduce him "aur papa yeh navya di hai Aaj mumma ki friend"

Navya looked at him with doubt because nandini never discussed anything about her past just know that she has a horrible married life later decides to separate ways

"Hi " manik greet her but she already created a perspective about him that he is a bad guy so she speaks her mind, "Hume tumse koi baat nahi karni aur nahi karni chalo Neha! She drag Neha with her

He started cooking 🔪 while cutting onions he cut his finger " aha" he hiss ,he goes to his room and start putting Dettol with closed eyes it's always difficult for him

He remember how nandini always took care of him when he get sick even when he was a total loser than also she'll do so much for him , be it ironed clothes, late dinners,or looking after his health she tried everything to make him comfortable but he was a   weakling who couldn't even stand on his feet

"Kash me sab thik kar pata" he wish again the same thing he is praying since two years after seeing his daughter a unsettling feeling in his heart kept him pinching that he is not just bad husband but also a bad father took who don't even know how her daughter is living without him

"Papa miss you Jaan" he said emotionally taking his family photo where all three of them are smiling

"Come on manik don't waste time let's get started" he motivate himself while harshly rubbing off his tears and continue to Cook

Next day ☀️

Nandini is all ready with her breakfast and lunch she goes to her room where her daughter is sleeping

She feels so guilty that she could never give her baby a complete family

She reached office and started doing her work meanwhile her boss call her in office

"May I come in?" She ask for permission before entering her boss's cabin " come in " comes a strict manly voice

Nandini could see a man is also sitting infront of his boss who's back only she could see

" Nandini he will take place of siya from now on! isse tum saara kaam samjha dena!! He ordered her "yes sir"she nodded hearing the female voice the man turned and both gets a shock 😲

"And mr Malhotra meet miss Murthy, for one month you'll get trained under her" the words felt like bomb and both of their faces are big question mark nandini with panic starts giving excuses not to train him
G
But sir why me? I mean iam just editor,mr Gupta (manager)can train him well, mr Gupta ask for 1 week leave nandini and moreover he has alot in his plate, and manik is handling social media marketing so it's alot better that he'll work with you"

"But.. " before she can say anything her boss order her to leave and show work to manik , nandini is pissed off after seeing she couldn't decide what to feel and now she has to work with him all this is making her crazy

"Ahem" manik fake coughed because nandini is lost in her thoughts

"Wait" he stops her" kya hai?" She asked in annoyed tone , "woh Nan...  I mean miss Murthy I need you to stay "

After one hour nandini comes back to her desk totally irritated with manik's behaviour for every small things he gets confused and ask for help like seriously how he even got the job?she huff a frustrated sigh

Whereas manik is sitting just 3 desk away from her admiring her totally he get a constant smile and after a years he is at peace just by seeing her again he stare at her again peeking stealthily
