Next Day
At 11 AM
Nandini was sitting in the living room reading a book to distract her mind........
Nandini's look 👇
She snapped her head up hearing Muskaan's voice.......
" Mumma "
She saw Muskaan coming running towards her.........
At first she thought she was hallucinating her but as Muskaan hugged her she came to her senses and hugged her back.......
Muskaan's look 👇
Nandini : Mera bacha.........
She whispered kissing her face frantically as tears fell from her eyes.......Muskaan wiped them........
Muskaan : Missed you mumma......
She said and Nandini smiled.......Seeing each other after a week.........
Nandini : Missed you too.......
She said then her gaze fell on Isha who stood looking at them she was jealous as well as angry because of the bond Muskaan share with Nandini.........but as Nandini looked at her she maintained her fake smile.......
Nandini : Thank you for bringing her here.......
Isha : Hmmm......
Nandini looked back at Muskaan .......she stared and caressed her face lovingly.........
Nandini frowned when she looked at her cheeks.........
Nandini : Beta what happened did you fall........your cheek is red.......
She said worriedly........
Muskaan looked down......
Nandini : Tell me what happened Muskaan......
She asked sternly and Muskaan looked at her and replied........
Muskaan : Voh I was not eating food because I wanted to meet you and by mistake I pushed the food plate so it fell on the floor and she got angry and and slap..slapped me........
She said gulping...........
Nandini's eyes went wide.........
She clutched her fingers tightly in her fist........
Nandini : Beta I have told you many times na not to waste food......you know many children didn't have food to eat ...... Promise me you will never do that again even by mistake .......
She said softly......Muskaan nodded......
Muskaan : Pinky promise........
She said giggling........Nandini smiled a little and kissed her cheeks lovingly.........
Nandini : My baby.......Now go to your room I am coming in a while.........
Muskaan nodded and ran to her room..........
Nandini turned towards Isha with blank expressions.........
Isha looked at her confused........
Nandini came to her and in a blink she held her wrist and twisted her behind her back.........
Isha winced in pain.........
Isha : Leave me Nandini.......What the hell are you doing........
Nandini : Jis beti par humne apni awaz tak nahi uthai uspe haath uthane ki zurrat kaise ki tumne.........( we never even raised our voice at her then how dare you to raise your hand on her)
She spoke furiously.........
Isha : She wasn't listening to me so I had to slap her........
She said trying to free herself.......
Nandini : If Muskaan was not having her food you could have called us what was the need to slap my daughter..... Be glad its me here in front of you otherwise if Manikji would be here na then he would have killed you to behave like that with his daughter...... even I can do that but I am leaving you as only because of you I got Muskaan to love......
She said leaving her with a jerk.......
Isha : I am also her mother........I gave birth to her for god sake Nandini........why you are behaving as if I am a totally a stranger to her.........
She said caressing her wrist.........
Nandini laughed sarcastically.........
Nandini : Yeah yeah that mother only who left her child at the age when she needed you the best......And on the top of it you weren't helpless at that time you were just blind and greedy for money that you didn't even saw your daughter's innocent face......how can anyone be so cruel Isha.........and what love your are showing to Muskaan now I think there is also one of your selfish motive behind it.........
She said angrily..........
Isha : Yeah I am selfish........Because I can't become a mother again and Muskaan is my only daughter which I have........
She revealed and Nandini looked at her shockingly..........
Nandini : What is this nonsense.......How can you even say this .......I cannot trust you after what you had done to them........
She spoke blankly..........
Isha sighed..........
Isha : Can we please talk like calmly.........
She asked........and Nandini sighed.......
Nodding at her Nandini gestured her to sit..........
Nandini : speak.........
Isha : Look Nandini as a women you can understand me.......For a woman to become a mother is just a blessing......... I have done many mistakes.......I was punished for that too......But please try to understand I want Muskaan's love........I want to stay with her but that doesn't mean I am trying to separate Muskaan from Manik........
She said and Nandini looked at him..........
Nandini : I have full symphathy with you Isha because you can't become a mother again but that doesn't mean I am going to support you for what you had done.......You very well know a woman can't become a mother because of only few abortions and as you are involved in this situation I can't trust you.......you know what I am saying ...........
She said calmly and Isha looked down...........
Nandini : What ever you had done its totally your fault then what are you expecting from me......I cannot do anything for you neither I want to.......I just have some symphathy with you Isha but please don't expect anything from me..........
She said in final tone........
Isha : So you won't understand like this........hence I am coming to the point directly Nandini........
She said with changed tone......And Nandini frowned...........
Nandini : What ?
Isha : I don't want to separate Muskaan from Manik , Nandini..........I just want my and Muskaan's relationship to get better........But till you are in Muskaan's life this won't happen......so I wan't you to leave Muskaan and Manik and if you do so I will come here with Muskaan hence Manik don't have to stay away from Muskaan.......And if you deny then trust me I will take Muskaan far away from here ........and you both can never meet her........
She spoke finally revealing her motive..........
Nandini : No you can't.........
She whispered .......
Isha : Trust me I very well can........
She replied.........
Nandini : Sharam nahi Aati kya.........how can you be such a cruel women.......standing in my house you are blackmailing me to leave my family........how dare you........you haven't seen the real me yet Isha.......And if you dare to do anything as such then trust me I won't leave you.......
She said and stood up in anger.......
Isha sighed........
Nandini : If you are done with your so called nonsense deal then please leave .......I am taking Muskaan to MM Designs to meet Manikji..........And yeah don't worry I will leave Muskaan to your house till evening........Because we are not that heartless like you..........
She added.........
Isha stood......
Isha : Well I don't care what you think about me........but if Manik by any chance get to know about our these conversation then trust me it won't take me time to go away with Muskaan as I already have court orders for one month to stay with Muskaan.......so don't tell this to Manik.......Bye.....
She said and left Malhotra Mansion........
As she left Nandini sat on the sofa with a thud.......
