As soon as nandini excused herself

"Abhimanyu who is she??" Asked urvashi curiously.

" She is nandini my sister"said Abhimanyu.

"Sister, par Abhimanyu jaha tak mujhe pta h toh tum toh single child the apne parents ki fr sister???" Asked manik confusingly.

"She is not my real sister par real sister se kam nahi h" said Abhimanyu.

"Beta kuch samjhe nahi hum" raj said

" Uncle she lives in our Orphanage, so she is my best frnd cum sister" explained Abhimanyu.

" Ohh orphan h"said urvashi while rolling her eyes "tabhi m sochu tumhare behn aur ye sab chz kare, khandani log aise hobbies nahi rakte"said urvashi.

"Urvashi behave, kya bolre ho" raj said sternly while manik looked at urvashi with anger.

"Aunty please, vo mere sister m uske khilaf kuch nahi sununga" Abhimanyu said angrily.
"Excuse me"he said and moved away.

"Urvashi" raj said sternly "wat maine kya glt bola" she said.

After interacting with others for a while they left the event.

" Dad, Cabir ka call Aya tha so I m going at dhruv's place." Informed manik.

"Ok son" saying this raj along with urvashi moved towards there car.

Manik moved towards his car and opened his car and sat inside he was going to start his car when he heard a voice " aaiyoo ayiapp, ye shreya di kha gae kabse dhundrahi hu, phone bhi nahi uthare hi kya karu ghr chali jau ya wait karu, unhone wait karne ko kaha tha par uff, call karte hu dubara" the voice belonged to none other than nandini.

Manik looked at her curiously
"Ye ladki pagal h kya apne ap se hi baate kiye jarri h" he said and continued to look at her.

Nandini called shreya multiple times, at last shreya answered her call.

"Di ap kaha ho, m kitni der se apko call karre hu, apne kaha tha ki ap audi m miloge fr kaha gae ap" nandini barged multiple questions at shreya.

" Nandu I m sorry vo m ghr agae hu, vo gao m jai ki mom ki tabiyat kharab hogae h isiliye hum gao jarre h. Sry m jaldi m btana bhulgae." Shreya said while feeling guilty.

" Koi baat nahi di ap tension mat lo sab thk hoga, ap apni mother in law ka thk se khayal rakhna" she said

" Ok di m rakhti hu" she said and ended the call huffing.

"Chal nandu ab akele hi jana h"she said and started looking here and there for any transport.

All this while stayed there only.
"Aiyappa koi taxi ya auto kyo nahi araha h kya karu m uff" she said to herself.

"Pagal ladki itni raat ko yaha taxi kha milege" said manik.

"Par mujhe kya m kyo khada hu yaha, ye uski headache h chali jaege apne ap, chal manik sab wait karre honge" thought manik and started his car but again stopped and closed his eyes.

He saw nandini still looking for an auto or taxi. "Kya karu, aise akele toh nahi chod sakta na" thought manik. "Par mujhe kya m kyo tension lera hu, itni attitude wali ladki h vaise huff " he again thought and started his car and went away.

Nandini kept on looking for any transport, then after lots of thinking she decided to walk .
Suddenly she saw an auto coming her way and it immediately stopped infront of her.

"Beta kha jana h." The auto wala asked. She told him the address and sat in the auto and thought " thanku ayiappa auto milgaya".

The auto wala started his auto moved towards nandini's destination. In the midway the auto passed a car, when the auto got passed them he turned around and moved at its destination.

Nandini guided the auto wala and the auto stopped at the ashrams gate.

" Bas uncle, bas yahi rok de thanku so much apne mujhe bilkul mere address tak chod diya, baki auto wale toh main road pe hi chod dete h" nandini said thanking the auto wala.

"Koi baat nahi beta isme thanku ki kya baat h, vaise bhi thanku toh apko apne frnd ko bolna cahiye." He said.

"Friend kon freind uncle" she asked being confused.

"Arre beta vahi frnd ko mujhe bulane aya tha." He said.

" M samjhi nahi uncle" she asked again.

" Arre beta m toh auto stand pe khada tha, tabhi jis ladke ko tumne bheja tha waha aya aur bola ki college ke gate pe ladki khadi h auto keliye. Tabhi toh m aya college tak." He  told her. " Usse maine pucha ki kon ho tum, toh bola tumhara frnd, fr usne mujhe college tak aane ke paise bhi diye, aur kaha ki tumhe pura ghar tak chod ke au isiliye toh m pura andar tak aya hu" he said and went off.

"Acha, par maine toh kissi frnd ko nahi bheja tha" nandini murmured confusing.
"Kon hoga vo ??" She thought .

In the meanwhile she received a call from maa asking about her whereabout, then she informed her that she is at the gate only and went in.

"Agae nandu, kaise rahi tere performance." Maa asked excited as soon as she saw nandini. Bit saw her lost somewhere.

"Nandu beta, kya hua kha khoi h " maa asked worriedly and held her hand.

"Kuch nahi maa, m thk hu aur performance toh bahut achi thi sabne bahut praise kiya hume" nandini said smiling when she saw maa worried.

"Acha, mujhe toh pta hi tha mere Nandu h hi best"maa said lovingly " chal ab khana khale, tujhe pta h ajj tere favourite dish banae h maine"she said.

"Sachi ma, batao na kya banaya h"she asked excited. " Payasam aur idle sambar" maa said .
Listening this nandini immediately hugged maa and said " maa ap toh best ho m abhi change karke atti hu, do min bas" and ran away to get changed.

Then she had here dinner and came to her room. She sat on her bed and thought " ajj kitna eventful day tha, phle performance ki nervousness jo ki kabhi nahi hoti thi mujhe par patani ajj kya hogaya tha mujhe.
Fr vo akdu, patani kha se takragaya . Dekhne m toh itne handsome the, par muh kholte h toh sab bekar. Vo kehte hana uchi dukan phike pakwan bilkul wahi haal h, huff...ptani kya samjhte h khudko...monkey kahi ke...bilkul apni mom pe gae honge unki mom bhi aise hi thi ajjeb ajjeb questions karre thi, unki dad toh fr bhi ache h... M kha unke bare m sochne lag gae. Vo ladka kon hoga jisne mere liye auto bheja, kon frnd hoga , mera toh koi frnd hi nahi h fr kon hoga."

"Jo bhi ho chalo, ayiappa ap please unpe apne blessings rakhna unhone mere help ki na" she prayed and went to sleep immediately as see was very tired.
