Manan Shining Star

Chapter 76 (B)

Downstairs,

Maria: But I am not liking here.
She said angrily shaking her head in  No cutely while Manik was listening to her complaints about everything out here was boring.

Man: You have papa here still you are  not liking.
He asked pouting just like her as if he was sad but today she was not going to get convince so easily.

Maria: But I want to go with Nandi, out there... Navya auntie has so many nice nice colours on her clothes I saw na...
She said cupped his face making Manik understand while all Manik was doing is convincing her to stay with him.

Man: Acha like that....toh fir problem solve.
He said happily while Maria waited for him to say a Yes but Manik Malhotra was on some other track.

Man: Papa and Maria will go for shopping.
He said cheerfully to make her happy while she pouted angrily folding her hands around her small tummy she sat on the stairs looking away.

Manik frowned not understanding what she exactly wanted, he gave her so many choices but then too she was so grumpy and off mood.

Maria was now waiting for Nandini to come and help her as her papa was not allowing her to stay with her Nandi.

Back in the room,

Nandini was about to leave when something strike her she looked at Cabir's Mom and asked

Nan: Aunty, Amrita Murthy....
She stopped and fidgeted with the name, she was not use to address the woman by that name although it's been years.

Shweta : Yes dear.
She asked politely, getting to know that the girl had some problem for sure.

Nan: Is she alone here or with her full family ?
She asked with alots of difficulty and the answer she was dying to hear was a negative reply.

Shweta: Well they are my Mom well wisher and very close family friends so everyone from their family are invited and I guess they will come too.
She replied getting confused as why is she so keen to know about them.

Nandini was fixed with an emotional turmoil whether she should be happy or angry or sad or scared or just run away from there, where she can find her peace again.

She looked at Shweta who was observing her, the sweat beads on her head were evidence that something is wrong with her.

Shweta : Nandini do you know them ?
She asked being unsure according to the way she was behaving.

Nandini looked at her frowning and then something so strong took over her probably the rejection from them years ago that with venom she said

Nan: No, I have never heard of them.
She said angrily and turned around to leave but found Manik there, near the door looking at her keenly.

While Maria stood next to him smiling happily, she wanted to tell Nandini that she blackmailed her papa again, to let her allow to come with Nandini at Navya place.

But her Nandi was not at all in any mood to listen to anyone right now all she wanted to do was lock herself, to take out all her resentment, cry out loud and get back her sanity.

And that's exactly what she did....

Maria moved towards her while she just ignored them as if they weren't there at all and left like an hurricane in full speed.

Maria looked behind from where Nandini left with tears in her eyes.

The small girl was again been rejected by someone who she was dying to stay with.

She looked at her papa while Manik moved in towards Shweta

Man : What happened ?
He asked Shewta who too was shocked.
