Manan

Chapter 3

Nandini is crying alone in the room... the next day.. When someone entered her room.. He quietly went towards her and hug her and twirl her around..

" Bhaiyuu...." Nandini called...

Listening her voice... He kept her down and turned her towards him..

" Kya hua hain meri choti ko..." Maan wiped her tears... His tone brought fresh tears in her eyes..

Nandini explained everything to him while hiccuping in between.. Maan is fuming in anger listening to her...

" I can't believe ki why can't they see anything apart from Aliya.. there is limit for everything.. I know Aliya is insecure... thinking they will neglect her but neglecting thier own child is not acceptable... agar tu chahahe to mein Manik se baat karunga.." Maan has tolerated everything but he will not compromise anything for sister's happiness..

" Nahi bhaiya.. aab mujhe Manik se koi wasta nahi rakhna hain... iss ke aage jo bhi hoga uske liye sirf aur sirf wo hi zimmedar hoga..." Nandini told what was going in her mind..

" Par Nandini... maa papa.." Maan couldn't finish his sentence..

" Maa papa se mujhe koi umeed hi nahi hain.. unhe to bas Aliya ki fikar hain.. wo un dono ke liye duniya ki sabse achi beti hain.. aur main sabse buri hu.. kyuki un dono ko lagta hain mein Aliya se bahut jalti hu.. uski khusiyaan chinna chahati hu.. bachpan se hi aisa hote aa raha hain mere saath.. mujhe to aab aisa lagne laga hain kisi din mujhe Aliya aur mujhe chunne ki pali aayi to undono khushi khushi Aliya ko apna lenge.. Kher aab mujhe ye sab baaton se koi wasta nahi rakhna.. bhaiya maa aur papa mere liye ladne ki koi zarurat nahi hain.. mujhe aab koi parwa nahi hain.. shaadi ho jaaney dijye.. uske baad mein chali jaungi dur.. undono ko mere hone se ya na hone se koi farak nahi padta hain.. kyuki unki chahiti beti unke paas jo hogi.." Nandini cried a lot while saying this things..

Only she knows what she is going through..

" Par Manik ke bina rehlegi tu..." Maan asked... he knows how much she loves him... he knew her feelings for him..

" Rehna padega bhaiyuu.. itne saal reh liya uske bina.. aab bhi reh lungi.. koi aur options nahi hain mere paas bhaiya.. Manik ke bina kaisi hogi  meri zindagi mujhe pata nahi par yahan reh kar usko kisi aur hota hua nahi dekh sakti hu mein.. wo jahan bhi rahe khush rahe..." She couldn't form another words.. as lump foam in her throat..

Maan hugged his little sister... and console her..

" Main hu na.. tere paas.. aaj ke baad kisi ko teri khusiyaan chinne nahi dunga mein.. chahe mujhe uske liye kuch bhi karna padey.." Maan kissed her forhead..

Sunita was listening to their conversation... she muffled her mouth with her pallu.. Listening Nandini's words it break her heart... There is no trust left for them in her heart.. which will be biggest nightmare for any parents..

Nandini didn't expect anything from them.. She left from there crying.. It's not that she didn't fight for her happiness but whenever she tries to do so.. people used to raise question she differeciate between her own daughter and Aliya..

Yesterday she is shut up by her husband.. he again raise question.. It used to her very much.. She didn't want to differeciate.. She knows how much pain she is going through.. She couldn't stand for own daughter's happiness..

One question arise in her head...
" She really neglected her daughter  for Aliya...."

But she couldn't find any answer but only her daughter voice starts running in her head...

She wiped her tears as Maan called.. She wash her face.. and calm herself down...

" Maan kab aaya tu.." She tries to sound happy..

" Baas abhi abhi aaya.." Maan replied..

Aliya came and hugged him..

" Bhaiyu.. aap aagaye.." Aliya asked being happy..

" Hmm.." Maan replied.. Maan breaks the hug..

Harsh came.. Maan greeted him..

"Aliya ki shaadi fixed hogayi.. humse pucha bhi nahi shaadi fixed karne se pehle.. lagta aap mujhe iss ghar ka member hi nahi mante ho.." Maan taunted his parents..

" Kaisi baat kar raha hain.." Harsh couldn't complete his sentence.. as Maan started calling Nandini..
