A deal

Chp 18

He threw his face on his hands and started looking at the pizza waiting for nandini's permission with a cute face

She shaked her head smiling at him.....she then got up to bring sauces and then served him pizza which he started eating happily

N: achaw manik yaad aya......aaj mjhe 1 call aye thi

Ma: mein kia karo (raising his one eye making whatever face)

N: 1 threat call ke tmhe koi kaam karne se roko (her face crowded with tension)

Ma: tmhe call aye thi (dead serious......he placed the pizza on plate and looked at her) kia kha unho ne

N: ohhh dont make such serious face.....u r acting as if idk about u and cabir.......u must have asked him to do the prank.........(putting sauce on pizza.......she had thought that cabir and manik did prank on her bcz he had once told her that they did pranks like this on mukti)

Ma: prank.....(he took 2 3 minutes to control himself )....yeah it was a prank (keeping his voice calm while he fisted his palm beneath the table)

N: kia hua manik......u have stopped eating

Ma: nhi wo aise hi.........dil nhi mera...... and yeah from next time u wont attend unknown no's........koi bhi hoskta hai.....okaaaayyyy (he said sweetly while getting up from his chair)

N: kha lo Beth ke I know u r hungry........ (holding his hand)

Scene change

They were sitting in living room when manik got up....he went to kitchen and started preparing coffee......he after 5 minutes brought 2 cups and handed 1 to nandini who was reading book....she took a sip without looking at the cup and it was milk......she gulped it with great difficulty and looked at him

N: ye kia hai (making a face) coffee bnane gye the tm.......

Ma: lill kids like u dont drink coffee.....u need to drink milk to gain some height.......kiddoo (placing hand on her head showing her how short she was)

N: tmhe to mein btati hn (she ran after him making manik run fast to escape .......he slipped on sofa while nandini continued beating him with her book)

Scene change

Manik changed his landline settings to outgoing calls only to avoid such threat calls.........he opeñed the door of nandini's room and found her crying throwing her head on legs and weeping continuously........he got worried and rushed towards her

Ma: kia hua nandini (putting hand on her arm)

N: kuch nhi (wiping her nose)

Ma: btao naa (seeing her crying he gave her a tissue)

N: m missing mama (she sniffed while he handed her another tissue paper)

Ma: then call.her....simple (wiping her tears)

N: mein unse ghussa hn......i wont

Ma: achaw kuch nhi hota call her

N: nhi m angry unho ne mere marzi nhi poche thi shaadi mein

Ma: dont cry naa.....

N: but I miss her

Ma: then call her (making weird face)

N: but m also angry with her

Ma: nandini ye lamp pakro aur sar (head) pe maar do mere (irritated at her behaviour.....) u r missing her and u wanna talk to her but at the same time u dont want to talk to her bcz u r angry with her.......what do u want

Nandini started crying again while he held his head in his hands unable to understand her

Ma: (thinks) God these girls (rolling her eyes)

Ma: look nandini.......mom dad se naraz kon hota yaar

N: but she didnt consider my choice

Ma: U still think that their decision was wrong (feeling hurt)

N: No its not like that manik........m happy

Ma: yaar they r our parents.........u know what i was 10 years old when my parents went abroad...... I was angry with them bcz they didnt take me with them......they tried calling me multiple times but i was so adamant and I refused talking to them.......flight se phle bhi they called me but i didnt received the call.....mjhe nhi pta tha wo last time tha (his voice had sth which forced her to look at him)

Ma: us din ke baad m longing for their call...... 1 call hi ajaye sirf but i think now they r angry (his voice shaked)

Ma: yaar mom dad se naraaz na hua karo.....1 dfa chale jaye naa wo phir sirf guilt reh jata (a tear slipped from his eye) y
e lo mom se baat kar lo (he smiled but their was expressions on his face showing that he was missing his parents)

She called her mother and he smiled looking at her bcz she started talking to her as if she were never angry...........he left the room to give them some privacy and started heating food for them......after sometime he took tray and went to nandini's room....he opened the door when he saw nandini getting up from bed after bidding bye to her mom......she came towards him and took the tray from him....placing the tray on table she hugged him with all the force ......he stumbled at such strong+sudden hug

N: thnku thnku so so much (with this she kissed his cheek)

Ma: its okay (placing hand on the place where she had kissed him)
