A BROKEN ANGEL AND A WOUNDED PRINCE

CHAPTER 27

[Manik POV]

We were having our breakfast warmly with some light chit chat when suddenly Daima started to firing on nandini with venomous words. I know it was hurting her but we all were too shocked with daima's sudden act and her disliking towards Nandini that anyone of us got a chance to stop her or to handle the matter going so far but when daima started to accuse her filthy. I felt hurt seeing her teary eyes and was about to stop daima but before me Nandini took a stand for herself. I felt her every harsh word she threw on daima, somewhere I felt bad for daima but I know she was spitting truth that daima actually was despising her from the very first day. I looked every one's reaction they were looking shocked with Nandini retort but they also have a proud look on their faces because she isn't weak, she shown that she is a strong woman and self dependent. Because we all are tired of Daima this behavior towards every big town woman.

After giving a very long speech  Nandini walked upstairs with a hurt face. I know Nandini isn't a girl who loose control really fast but I felt it was something sensitive about her past which daima aggravated because her expression was so much holding pain, pain her her voice.

"What the hell was that daima???" Abhi quickly reacted when Nandini vanished in air "how can you say that, janti kya hai aap uske bare me, haan??" He shouted furiously his lungs out that we all went stiff "kya jante hai aap..hamare bare me. You are right,  Nandini and I share a different relationship avery different one. Tou know what I love Nandini..I love her but not like a sister or a friend. I love her more than this."he shouted taking a pause and we all got shocked on his confession, his confession shook me to the core.

Abhi loves Nandini but he..he is married.!!!

"I love her more than myself more than anyone but not like sister, friend or lover. Yes you guys  heard me right. I love her but like..like my BABY. MY CHILD!!  Sunne me shayd ajib zarur lage pr behen Nahi apni beti ki tarah pyar krta hu main usse" he confessed looking emotional and he choked on his last words and suddenly I felt guilty on doubting their relationship " pata hai kyu..kyunki uski life k hr emotional breakdown pr mene use bhai ya frnd ki tarah nahi ek father ki tarah handle kia hai. Duniya ki nazar me vo bhale hi ek cruel harsh strong lady lagti ho pr main janta hu on emotional terms she is like a baby, use kuch smj nahi aata vo kya kare."he again choked with emotions and his eyes looking teary but then again he looked at daima with furious eyes "aur apne kaha tha na k vo mere sath hi sbse zada kyu rehti hai she should be with her family. You know why..because I am her family, her only family. Vo mere sath itni comfortable islie rehti hai because she only trust me around herself. Is dunia me msin hi sirf ek esa insaan hu jispe vo khud se zada trust krti hai or rahi baat mukti k shaq krne ki to uske mene hamari wedding night pr hi clear kr dia tha k Nandini hamesha se meri first responsibility rahi h or main meri priorities change nahi karunga or agr Nandini k lie muje mukti ko chorna pade to main vo b karunga kyunki I am her only gurdian uski ki mom to pichle 8salo se coma me hain or agr unke baad uske koi hai to vo sirf main or dad. Main nandini ka tbtk khyal rakhunga jbtk uska koi khyal rakhne wala uski life me ni aa jata. Mukti go and pack our bags hum aaj hi yaha se ja rahe hai!!" he spitted out loud and clear than walked away leaving all of us shocked.

"Daima!!apne ye kya kia. Vo mehmaan the hamare. Aur aap hi to kehti hai mehmaan bhagwaan hote hai, phir apne Nandini ko is tarah zaleel kia. Pata ni bechari kesi hogi is waqt."buasahaab stated bitterly.

"Daima!!apne ye thik nahi kia. App bina kuch jane kisi ko kese judge kr sakti hai." Uncle brij asked her disbelievingly.

"Daima!! Humne apse kuch ni kaha but ye sach hai k hum sb ne dekha k aap pehle din se Nandini or uski friends ko ni pasand karti aap but fir bhi is tarah zaleel krna. Not fair!!!" This time it was Abir who accused her.
