chapter 24

3 years later. .....

Malhotra Mansion
7 '0 clock into the morning.

Yaara
Manzelien ruswa hai
Khoya hai raasta
Aaye le jaaye
Itni si ilteja
Ye meri zamaanat hai
Tu meri amaanat hai. ..aa. ...(Nandini started singing )

Mujhko iraade de
Kasmein de, waade de
Meri duaaon ke ishaaron ko sahaare de
Dil ko thikaane de, naye bahaane de
Khabon ki barishon ko mausam ke paimane de
Apne karam ki kar adaayein
Kar de idhar bhi tu nigaahein  (she remembers Maniks happy face )

Sun raha hai na tu
Ro rahi hu main
Sun raha hai naa tu
Kyun ro rahi hu main  (2)(her heart becomes heavy, thinking about the past )

Yaara

Waqt bhi thehara hai
Kaise kyun yeh hua
Kashmir tu aise aaye
Jaise koi duaa
Tu rooh ki raahat hai
Tu merits ibaadat hai (she misses Manik )

Apne karam ki kar adaayein
Kar de idhar bhi tu nigaahein

Sun raha hai na tu
Ro rahi hu main
Sun raha hai naa tu
Kyun role rahi hu main (but she soon realises the truth, that Manik was no more with her )

Yaara

Nandini opened her eyes and said "baby. ...ab toh bahar aa jao. ....dekho mom ne tumhe ek song bhi sunnaya. ...ab toh yeh milk ka glass finish karo. ...kaha ho baby? ?????"
Nyonika  (smiling ) : I must say. ...tumhara beta bahut shaitan ho gaya hai! !!!!
Nandini ( pouting ): peechle ek ghante se yeh glass leke khadi hu. ...ki woh jaldi se aake isse finish karega. ...par laagta hai ki woh mujhse bilkul bhi pyaar nehin karta
Listening to this, a baby boy came and hugged Nandini from behind.
The boy  (scared ) : nehin mom. ...main aap se bahut pyaar karta hu! !!
With a smile, Nandini kneeled in front of the baby and kissed his cheeks.
Nandini : I know. ..par phir bhi tum har din mujhe aise hi pareshaan karte ho! !!!.....ab baatao aaj kis kone mein chup ke baithe the? ?????
Veer  (innocently ) : mandir mein! !!!!!
Hearing this, Nandini's eyes popped out, "shit !!!!!.....aur maine mandir mein hi nehin check kiya tha "
After drinking the milk, Veer handed the glass to Nandini.
Nandini ruffled his hair a little and said "good baby "
Veer  (pouting ): mom. ....no touching my hair! !!!!
Nandini ( with a smile ) : awwww. ......mere baby ko gussa aa gaya! !!!!
Saying this she hugged him.
Nyonika, who was the sole witness of this whole scene, had tears in her eyes. She remembered, how Manik also used to run around, the entire house like Veer. She missed him.

While driving the car, Nandini was on a conference call with Fab4.
Aliya ( irritatedly snapped ): Nandini. ...mujhe matching shoes nehin mil rahe hai!!!!!.....now what will I do? ????
Cabir  (angrily ) : 2 minutes silence maintain kar le! !!!!!....ek sandal hi hai koi NASA ka spaceship nehin. ....ki mil nehin raha hai bol ke roo rahi hai! !!!!
Aliya : shut up Cabir. ....where did NASA come from? ????
Cabir : tu chup baith! !!!....Navya aaj date pein jaana chahti hai. ....usse kaha leke jau Nandini? ???????
Mukti ( blurted out ) : what? ??????..........you are dating Navya? ???
Aliya : oh! !!!!!sleeping beauty. ...pure SPACE ka yeh breaking news baan chukka hai. ...
Dhruv  (irritatedly ) : Nandini yaar. ....library mein guitar strings nehin hai! !!!!.....please ate waqt leke ana!!!!
Mukti : oye. ..tu kaha se aya? ??????
Dhruv : Mars se
Mukti : Aliya aapne boyfriend ko sambhal! !!!!
Aliya : Mukti. ...woh mere bf se pehele tumhara bff hai! !!!!!
Cabir : chup karo yaar. ....main subha se date ko leke pareshaan hu. ...aur tumlog! !!!!
Now everything was going over Nandini's head and she screamed "bass bahut hua! !!!!!"
Fab4 (in unison ) : are you okay. ...Nandini? ???????????"
Nandini : no. ...I am not. ....Aliya aapne dress ka ek picture send karo. ...main usske liye matching shoes kharid lungi. ....Cabir dimaag ko shant kar ke unn jagaho ka list baanao jaha Navya jaana pasand karti hai. ....Dhruv tumhare strings mil jaenge. ......
aur Mukti. ..as usual tumne aapna breakfast skip kiya hai! !!!!!.....main tumhara favourite chocolate cupcake leti aungi! !!!!!
Fab4  (in unison ) : we love you Nandini
On hearing this, Nandini had a smile on her lips and said "bass bass. ..aur oiling buttering karne ki zarurat nehin hai. ....5 minutes mein main college poohach ti hu! !!!!"
Saying this, all of them hung up.
Since Manik left, Fab4 had been with Nandini, in all her ups and downs. They where like a family to Nandini.
Fab4 tried their best to keep Nandini busy, so that she didn't feel the absence of Manik. For Fab4, Nandini was their centre of universe. And Nandini also loved fulfilling their wishes.
