MaNan's Kiddo (Book 2)

Twelve

Manik noticed every box had a label of what was there inside them like clothes, books, fictions, non fictions, stationery, trophies and medals, etc. What he also noticed that the clothes boxes which Neyonika had open had the clothes neatly folded and in a particular way and pattern

"She has OCD" Manik stated looking at his mother who's moments stopped she looked at Manik and Nadini for a second

"She has developed OCD" Neyonika agreed

"She used to be mostly alone toh all she had to do is organise her stuff and she liked her stuff in a particular place in a particular manner and if someone tries to break it she feels it is an invasion of her space. Kitni baar she has rearranged her wardrobe after I had arranged it for her and then I observed the way she arranges it and followed it only then I noticed her not getting bothered" Neyonika told them with a sad smile

Manik just stared at her for a minute as Neyonika just went out the room. He looked around the room, the boxes

"Let's see what's in this," Manik said taking a box labeled 'pictures'. He opened it to see all Avni's photos and some frames. He started to look at them as Nandini also joined him in the task and slowly slowly every box was ripped open.

They were amazed to see her achievements in drawing and writing. She had also bagged prizes in dance and performing arts. What they noticed was that there was nothing related to sports in her achievement. She had a lot, alot! of books and she also had specs. Many of her toddler pictures had her with those cute pink ones. Peeking in Avni's life they could not keep track of the time. Manik's phone rang and he excused himself.

Avni had entered the house and directly walked to her room. Arav said Khushi Maa was going to send her things they had brought with them. Avni had thought she was permanently going to shift to India so she had nicely packed all her stuff and asked Arnav to get it in his private jet. But things have changed now!

She bolted in her room with already flaring rage building in her for the whole day and the site in front of her took the broke straw 

"What the hell!" she bellowed taking Nandini off guard

"How dare you!" she stormed to Nandini who was seated on the floor surrounded with her things. She snatched her photo frame from Nandini's had very harshly

"Who gave you the permission to touch my things!?" she yelled to make Nandini flinch for the sudden outburst

Manik was on the phone when he had heard Avni yell, hanging up on the person he had rushed to the room to see Avni questioning Nandini

"Watch you tone Avni" he said calmly making her turn in his direction

"And ask your wife to watch her actions" she spat those words on Manik throwing her bag on her bed as Nandini sat there frozen with sudden happening. Everyone except Raj had gathered outside her room after they had heard her.

"Who gave her permission to go through my stuff? I didn't, how dare she touches my stuff" Avni huffed

"It was me ok, I opened the boxes" he said calmly

"And I am telling you check your tone when you talk to her" Manik said gesturing to Nandini and Nandini looked back at him, she got up and stood besides Manik

"It's ok Manik" she said in a small voice

"I am sorry" she apologised Avni

"You should be" Avni said nonchalantly

"And now leave" she added 

"Enough Avni, you can't talk to her like that" Manik warned this time
