MaNan: Can I Love Her ?

Chapter 20-3

M: Nhi dad ap sorry mat boliye.. galti meri bhi hai.. main ye samajh hi nhi paya ki unn sab mein bhi apka pyaar hi tha.. apka pyaar jatane ka tareeka alag tha par apne humesha dhyan rakha mera.. dur se hi sahi but you made sure ki I am comfortable.. I am sorry maine apko galat samjha..

M's Dad: Nhi manik.. galti teri nhi hai.. galti meri thi.. yes.. I tried to give you every comfort par main ye bhul gaya ki tujhe paise se zyada meri zarurat hai.. tujhe materialistic comfort se zyada baap ke support ki.. baap ke pyaar ki zarurat hai.. I am sorry.. Agar nandini mujhe na samjhaati toh shayad main apni galti kabhi samajh hi nhi pata.. I am sorry.. (Both broke the hug and spoke.)

M: Nhi dad.. it's okay.. galti meri bhi hai.. mujhe bhi angel ne hi samjhaya..

M's Dad: I am sorry..

M: Nhi dad.. don't say sorry.. ab purani sari baatein bhul jaiye.. ek nayi shuruwaat karte hain..

M's Dad: Haan.. Thanku beta... I love you.. (Both hugged each other again and this time happily.)

M: I love you too dad.. I missed you..

M's Dad: I missed you too mera beta.. I missed you too.. (Both broke the hug and then started talking about anything and everything sharing a comfort level with each other.) (Nandini saw all this from distance and smiled widely and then entered in the kitchen.)

IN THE KITCHEN:

(Nandini was doing her work when nyonika entered, so nandini asked her.)

N: Aunty kuch chahiye apko... (Nyonika spoke being hesitant.)

NY: Haan vo..

N: Bataiye.. (Nyonika spoke nervously.)

NY: Vo main soch rahi thi manik ke liye kuch bana doon.. (Nandini smiled and spoke.)

N: Ji aunty zarur.. ap hi ki kitchen hai.. aaiye na..

NY: Vo..

N: Kya huya aunty?

NY: Vo.. mujhe kuch banana nhi aata.. I mean main kabhi kitchen mein gayi hi nhi.. toh kya tum meri help kar dogi..

N: Zarur aunty.. Ap bas bataiye kya banana hai.. Main samaan nikal deti hoon.. And then I'll cook.. (Nyonika spoke determinedly.)

NY: Nhi main khud banana chahti hoon.. tum bas mujhe batati raho ki kaise banana hai aur dekhti raho ki main thk kar rahi hoon na.. (Nandini smiled and agreed.)

N: Ji.. (Then she gave nyonika all the ingredients and told her how to cook and nyonika prepared the halwa with nandini's guidance.)

(Then nandini went to call manik.)

IN DRAWING ROOM:

(Nandini went to call manik and stood there not knowing how to tell manik.. she was somewhat nervous about manik's reaction. Earlier also, Manik was somewhat normal with his dad but with nyonika, he is totally lost. The gap is lot more wide between manik and nyonika. Nandini doesn't want anyone to get hurt so she was little bit nervous.) (Manik saw nandini standing there and asked her.)

M: Kya huya angel.. aise kyun khadi ho vahan? Yahan baitho hamaare paas..

M's Dad: Haan beta.. kya huya...

N: Vo.. (Seeing nandini getting nervous both immediately got up and manik came towards her and cupped her face and asked her.)

M: Kya huya angel.. all okay na.. (Nandini started speaking but Manik cut her in between.)
