Manan : I have started living my life after you entered ✔️

Chapter 21 - Christmas Party

Almost a month is over from then. I haven't seen him at office either. Christmas is coming and so is my birthday, which is on Christmas. Rishabh was busy preparing for entrance exam for getting into the university and his last term exams of school.

I had come to the Malhotra company for the review of whether the plans that I had formulated are on track or whether it needs any changes. While I was concentrating on my work,

(Roy)"Ms. Murthy"

(Nandini) "Ahhh... Yes, Mr. Roy. Sorry, I was preoccupied. The plan is going as per schedule at a good speed."

(Roy) "Yes. That's good to hear but that is not what I came here to talk about. There is a party hosted by the company on 24th December, will you be able to make it?"

(Nandini's POV) This year Uncle and Aunty are coming over for Christmas. Rishabh said he won't be able to go for dinner because he has mock test on 27th. I might as well attend the party and let him study in peace.

(Nandini) "Yes. I can. Also, I haven't seen Manik around. Where is he?"

(Roy) "He didn't tell you? Funny! He has been out of town for a month for work. He didn't specifically tell why. I guess he has gone for training under the Singh family (Singh family is his paternal side relation)."

(Nandini) "Oh. When will he be back?"

(Roy) "Don't know. I haven't got any information. But he should be back by Christmas. For a change, he has a partner for the party which he personally called up and asked me to enter."

(Nandini) "Really? (I exclaimed) Who would it be?" Roy looked at me with doubt.

(Nandini quickly came back to her senses and said) "Not that you need to tell. Just asked out of interest since last time he asked me to be his escort." I don't think my reasoning convinced him but

(Roy)"Even I don't know who is she. But If you want, I can look up and tell."

(Nandini) "Not necessary, Mr. Roy. Thank you."

(Nandini's POV) After a quick conversation with Mr. Roy, I headed towards Manik's cabin to report to Navya. Navya has been taking care of his work. She doesn't talk anything else except work unlike before, when in front of Manik. Even if she talks about anything other than work, it is always about how unyielding Manik is but how sweet he is to adjust for her. Her bragging has gone on and on without any limit. I have had enough. Somehow, I feel better talking with anyone else than Navya. She makes me feel so irritated. I was about to leave when I saw Manik entering, he looked pale and I immediately kept my anger aside and ran to him. I asked how he was and he said he was fine and he did not talk further. From Behind Navya came and told Manik let's go back to home, as we both have to decide on what we are wearing for Christmas party because being your date I have to be perfect. Nandini was shocked and felt betrayed by Manik. I left from the company immediately.

Very soon, the day of the party came. I was not able to meet Manik till now and even if we met, I was not able to speak with him properly because of Navya. Today, I am going to break up everything, friendship, business ties and ...., everything with him.

I arrived late at the party. As I entered, I saw Manik, Navya and his mother being merry. My mood was ruined.

At the same time, Manik also saw Nandini and

Honton pe tere
Shikvon ka shor hai
Par ye nighaahe
Kehti kuch aur hai

O o ho o..
