30. Perspectives

Quick rant : Hello people. I missed you all so much and I know I was missed too because my message box and the last chap comments are filled with all of you asking me for updates. I am flattered and on the ninth cloud, all together.

But a small request. Despite almost 4k reads per chap, only a small portion of you vote, and a smaller portion comments. Most of you who have asked me for updates, have never written a word else either. I am not complaining or fussing, but seriously, if you take two minutes to tell me if you liked the update, or any moment made you laugh, it will only make my day so good and motivate me to write more and faster. The wattapd stats work on votes and comments, I hope you know that. I am doing my share, can you please think about doing the needful too?

Happy reading!

~Somethimes, all we need to grow in life, is a change in perspective. But we don't realise that because, well, to realise that also you need to see through a new perspective!
~Grey's Anatomy ~

When Nandini was younger she had wanted to be a lawyer, just like her Appa. The black robe was fascinating, and so was the arguments she would make up in her mind, to fight fake scenarios, trying her best to sound the confident and boastrous Mr. Murthy. But over the years, through high school and college she had realised the difference between fascination and passion, and her heart lay in literature. She loved reading various essays and poems, ranging from classic to modern ones, the Shakespearean plays every body dreaded were her favourite and she loved complex characters of the plots like that of Wuthering Heights. She knew the difference between a 'good character' and a 'protagonist' and she was one of the very few people who loved Severus Snape more then Harry Potter himself . This fact though, was also why she knew she had an eye for literature.

Maybe that was why she didn't falter when her peers and her teachers tried to talk her out of pursuing English Honours in college, and to her surprise, her Appa supported her at every step. Now, she was doing what she loved, she was teaching her favourite plays to students and at the same time worked as a Editor and Reviewer for Authors in need.

But despite all her love and fascination for her work, she absolutely hated the days when she had to take back to back lectures. It not only left her tired, but also very irritated because dealing with harmonal and over enthusiastic college students wasn't an easy deal.

To her bad luck, she had had exactly the day she hated, and to top it all, she was constantly worried about Manik the entire time. She didn't want him to take her words back any more negatively than they were intended to and neither did she want to force him into things, but at the same time she knew it was important for him to let go off things he had held on to for so long. He needed to see things differently than his vision and she wanted to make sure he do.

Hupfff! Complicated much!

Tired to her very bone, Nandini entered the house silent. She kept her bag aside and checked her WhatsApp to see if her husband dear had left any texts, but to her dismay he hadn't. She had texted him earlier about her busy day, cribbing and whining about it, which was also an attempt to decipher his mood and he had replied with a single laughing emoji. That wasn't a great response she had assumed and was disturbed with it.

Grumpy, she walked into the bedroom and sat on the bed, pouting to herself. In the back of her mind, the thought constantly nagged her, what if Manik read too much into her blunt words? What if he was hurt? Granted he was a lawyer and he was supposed to get things straight when delivered straight but then he was a lawyer only in the court room. Outside those four walls he was entirely someone else.
