Hey guys...
I present you with another chapter of this story.
(Didn't have time for proof reading. Let me know if there are any mistakes)
Manik smirked and looked at the envelope which was given by the event manager.
Manik - Ab to mujhe Nandini ko milne se koi nahi rok sakta.
Nandini let's see Ab tum kaise apne dil ki baat chupaogi mujhse.
Manik opened the envelope and read out -
Welcome to the
PUSHKAR FAIR...
A riot of camels,colours and culture.
Chronology of events (competition)-
Matka Phod contest
Longest moustache contest
Bridal Competition
Exhibition Cricket Match.
So I have to cover these events.
It will be too much fun.
With this Manik put the envelope aside and lied on his bed and fell asleep as he was tired after a hectic day of work.
Meanwhile Nandini had her dinner with Swati and came back to her room.
She took her mobile and dialled Manik's number but there was no response .
Nandini - Lagta hai Manik sogaye . Mai morning me call karleti hoon.
Saying this even Nandini fell asleep.
The next morning Manik woke up with a knock on the door.
Manik rubbed his eyes and opened the door to find Nyonika standing there.
Nyonika - Manik tum abhi tak so rahe ho? Time Dekha hai??? Jaldi se ready hokar neeche aajao. Mai breakfast lagati hoon.
Manik - Ok Mom. Mai bas 10 minute me aaya.
Saying this Manik again was moving towards the bed to catch his sleep but Nyonika stopped.
Nyonika - Beta Maine for se soney ke lia nahi kaha tha. Jao Jake ready hojao.
Saying this Nyonika pushed Manik towards the bathroom.
Manik in his sleepy tone - Mom...
Mere kapde nikal dena wardrobe se.
Saying this he went to take shower.
Nyonika smiled and said - Pagal... Bilkul bachcho ki tarah behave karta hai.
Nyonika opened the wardrobe and took out Manik's clothes and kept on his bed.
Nyonika was about to go out when her eyes fell on the envelope of PUSHKAR fair invite.
Nyonika - Ye fair to Rajasthan me hai. Manik ke paas kaise aaya ye.
Kahi Manik Rajasthan to nahi jaaraha hai. Pata lagana padega.
Nyonika left the room and went to the breakfast table.
Soha too joined Nyonika and asked - Kya baat hai Aunty aap Pareshan lag rahi ho? Everything ok.
Nyonika - Kuch bhi Ok nahi hai.
Ye Nandini to mera peecha hi chodegi.
Soha - Ab kya Kia usne? Wo to apne Maa ke ghar chali gayi hai na.
Nyonika - Aur shayad Manik bhi Rajasthan Jane wala hai.
Soha - What??? But why?
Nyonika - Maine Manik ke room me PUSHKAR fair ka invitation card dekha.
Soha - To puch lijiye na Manik se directly.
In the meantime, Manik came to the breakfast table.
After having breakfast,
Nyonika asked Manik - Beta tumhe Kaam pe nahi jaana kya?
Manik - Mom... Wo actually I have some important work in PUSHKAR, Rajasthan. Waha bahut bada event hone wala hai aur i have been chosen to cover the event.
Isiliye mujhe aaj hi nikalna hoga.
Nyonika - To tum PUSHKAR hi jarahe ho na?
Manik - Yes Mom... aap aise kyu pooch rahe ho?
Nyonika - Kuch nahi bas aise hi puch rahi thi.
All the best Beta.
Manik - Thanks Mom. Mai Ab nikalta hoon. Bahut prepations karne baaki hai. Mujhe do din lag jayenge wapas aane me.
Nyonika - Two days... But Manik waha tum akele kaise rahoge?
Manik - Mom... Mere sath aur bhi team members honge. I will take your leave now. Sab mera wait kar rahe honge.
Nyonika - Ok Beta. All the best.
Manik hugged Nyonika and left for PUSHKAR.
Nyonika - Thank God Manik Pushkar jaraha hai. Mujhe laga ki Nandini ke hometown jaraha hai.
Soha - How can you be so sure ki Manik Nandini se nahi milega?
I am 100% sure Manik zarur jayega Nandini ke ghar.
Nyonika got lost in her thoughts.
In the meantime,
Nandini's house -
Nandini woke up and performed the Pooja and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast with Swati.
As she was about to cut the vegetables, the door bell rang.
Swati opened the door and smiled seeing the visitor.
Swati- Nandini Dekho kaun aaya hai tujhse milne?
Nandini came out of the kitchen and saw two girls standing in front of her.
Nandini - Tum dono yahan???
The girls in unison - Haan Nandu... Hum to yahin rehte hai. But tum to bilkul gayab hi hogayi thi.
Nandini - Aisa kuch nahi hai Deepu , Varsha. Mai to bas....
(Deepali and Varsha were Nandini's childhood friends who got married two years back and were staying in PUSHKAR)
Deepali - Ab bahane mat banao. Hum jaante hai ki tum Hume bilkul bhi yaad nahi karti. Ab tum Hume apna dost nahi maanti.
Varsha - Haan tabhi to isne hum dono ko batana zaruri nahi samjha ki ye yahan aayi Hui ho.
Both Varsha and Deepali faked anger and turned their back towards Nandini.
Nandini - Deepu,Varsha Ab apni Nautanki bandh karo. Mai jaanti hoon tum dono ko ache se. To ye fake anger se mujhe mat darao.
Deepali - Dekha Varsha maine kaha tha na ki Nandini ek second me jaan jayegi ki hum act kar rahe the.
Varsha - Oh hello Madam tune nahi kaha tha ye sab . Maine Kaha tha.
Deepali - Maine Kaha tha...
Varsha - Maine Kaha tha...
And they continued their silly fight.
Nandini - Stop it.... Both of you...
Abhi tak ladne ki aadat gayi Nahi tum dono ki.
Deepali - Mai kaha lad rahi hoon. Ladna to ye Varsha ki bachchi ko aata hai.
Varsha- Ji nahi. Tumne ladai start ki hai.
Deepali- Tune....
Varsha- Nahi tune...
Nandini helplessly looked at both her friends.
She tried to stop them but they were not ready to listen and were busy in finding faults of each other.
Nandini then looked at Swati who said- Mujhse to ye nahi Sambhalne wali. Mai kitchen me jaati hoon. Tu hi sambhaal in dono ko.
Saying this, Swati left from there.
Nandini thought of ways to stop the fight and got an Idea which she always did to stop their argument.
Nandini shouted on the top of her voice - Stoooooopppppppp......
Hearing this both Varsha and Deepali stopped their argument and looked at Nandini in a horrified manner .
Nandini - Kya hua??? Aise kya dekh rahe ho? This was the only way to stop you both.
All three of them looked at each other and burst out laughing.
Nandini checked her phone to see if Manik had called her as she had called him three times since the moment she woke up but Manik didn't reply.
Deepali and Varsha rushed to Nandini and hugged her.
Deepali and Varsha - We really missed you Nandu.
Nandini - I missed you too...
Varsha to Swati - Aunty jaldi se breakfast Laiye na. Bahut bhook lagi hai.
Deepali - Hawwww... Varsha tune abhi to khana khaya tha. Fir bhi bhook lagi hai tujhe. Kam khaya kar moti warna Kisi din pet (tummy) burst hojayega.
Varsha - How mean... Nandu tu bata kya mai moti lagrahi hoon?
Nandini - Nahi Varsha tum to bilkul bhi moti nahi ho.
Varsha - Dekha Deepu ... Nandini Mere support me hi bolegi hamesha.
Saying this Varsha stuck out her tongue to tease Deepali.
In the meantime,
Swati served them breakfast and everyone had their breakfast with a lot of leg pulling. The main target for their jokes was Varsha.
After having breakfast,
Deepali said - Nandini hum ghoomne chale bahar? Bahut din hogaye hai humne koi dhamal nahi Kia.
Nandini - Nahi Deepali... Fir Kabhi chalte hai .
Nandini again looked at her mobile screen.
Swati - Chali jaa na Beta. Tera dil lag jayenge.
Nandini - Ok Maa... Agar aap kehti ho to chali jaati hoon.
Deepali - Great. Ab jaldi se ready hokar aaja.
Nandini nodded and went to her room to get ready.
Nandini selfthought - Manik hamara phone kyu nahi utha rahe? Kahi naraaz to nahi hai wo humse. But humne to Kuch aisa Kia hi nahi jisse wo naraaz hojaye.
With these thoughts, Nandini got ready and went to the hall where Varsha and Deepali were waiting for her.
(Nandini's Attire)
Meanwhile Manik reached Jaipur by flight and headed towards Kota .
He checked his mobile and saw Nandini's missed calls.
Manik - So my beautiful wife is missing me. Don't worry Nandini.... Mai tumhare paas hi aaraha hoon. Bas thoda sa intezaar karlo.
Saying this he smiled and kissed Nandini's pic in his mobile.
Nandini along with Deepali and Varsha went to the market in a tuk-tuk(autoricksaw)
The three friends had a gala time in the autoricksaw as they re-lived their old days.
Nandini- Deepali aur Varsha do you guys remember hum kitni masti karte the inhi galiyon me.
Deepali- Haan mujhe to sab yaad hai. But tum hamesha shararat karke Bach jati thi aur hum dono fas jaate the. Kyunki teri bholi Surat dekhkar sab dhoka kha jaate the. Unhe kya pata tha ki is bholi Surat ke peeche kaun tha.
Nandini - Oh hello.... Meri shakal hi nahi mai khud bhi kitni innocent thi . Maine kabhi koi shararat nahi ki...
Deepali - Acha bachchu.... Yaad dilau tujhe... Kya kya shararat karti thi tum. Yaad hai us halwayi ( Owner of sweet shop ) ke shop me chuhe daal diye the tune.
Nandini - Haan wo to bas is liye ki usne mujhe do extra jalebi dene se mana Kia tha. Ab mai tum dono ke bina jalebi kaise kha leti. Us halwayi ne tum dono ko daanta bhi to tha. Isiliye maine uski Saari jalebi kharab kardi rats daalke shop me.
Varsha - Acha. And what about that Surya Pratap Singh???
Nandini - What about him? Maine Kuch bhi nahi Kia tha.
Deepali - Oh I see. Mai yaad dilau???
Nandini put her hand on Deepali's mouth to stop her from continuing further.
Varsha - Bechara ne ek mahine tak ghar se nikalne ki himmat nahi ki.
Nandini laughed heartily on hearing this.
This was being observed by a pair of eyes.
Those eyes were of the one and only one - Manik.
Manik saw Nandini laugh heartily and a smile appeared on his face.
[(Background music)
Tu jo keh de agar to main jeena chhod doon
Bin soche ek pal, saans lena chhod doon (x2)]
He took out his camera and clicked Nandini's pic as she laughed.
Suddenly a flash of light fell on Nandini's face and as a reflux action she hid her eyes with her hand.
Nandini looked in that direction from where the light flashed but
there was nothing.
Manik hid behind one of the stalls.
Nandini , Deepali and Varsha got off the autoricksaw and went to the market (bazaar).
Manik too followed her but carefully hid himself from Nandini's view.
They first stopped at the clothes stall.
[Naa rahun, naa jeeun
Koi lamha tere bin
Zindagi hai thami
Tujh mein hi kahin
Tu dua hai dua
Khwahishon ki dua (x4)]
Nandini looked at one of the dress and touched it to feel the fabric. It was a traditional Rajasthani bridal poshak(bridalwear)
Nandini then looked at the cost and removed her hand from the dress and she moved to another stall along with her friends.
Manik reached the stall and looked at the cost of the dress.
He smiled and bought the dress.
[Main tera aks hoon
Tu jahaan main wahin
Main fanaa hoke bhi
Jeeunga tujh mein hi]
Nandini then stopped at the bangle store and took a bangles set and wore them.
She showed the bangles to Varsha and Deepali who appreciated Nandini's choice.
Manik took another picture of Nandini who was checking out her bangles.
Again a flash of light fell on Nandini's eyes.
This time she caught the person who was standing with a camera in his hands.
Nandini - Hello Mr... Tum hi ho na Jo itni der se meri photo liye jarahe ho....
Deepali and Varsha too joined Nandini and said- Sharam nahi aati tumhe ladkiya chedte hue. Tum ho kaun? Aur hamari friend ki pictures kyu le rahe ho?
The man who was scared by now on seeing the angry avatar of the three friends said - Maine Kuch nahi Kia behen. Mere camera me to roll hi nahi hai. Maine Kisi ki pictures nahi li.
The man was on the verge of crying as the three of them had held his collar.
On checking the camera, the three of them realised that the man was actually telling the truth.
They left the man and he ran away from there to save his life from the three Devis.
Manik laughed on seeing the three on them beating the innocent man.
Nandini along with Deepali and Varsha went to the mirror room (The room in which different kinds of mirrors are attached to the wall)
[Khud se hi hoon judaa
Jaanta hai khuda
Tu hi tu har jagah
Main yahaan main na raha]
Manik too looked at Nandini from a distance hiding from her and from there he could see Nandini in all the mirrors of the room.
[Tu duaa hai duaa
Khwahishon ki duaa (x4)]
Then the three of them came out of the room and went to the sweet shop to eat something as they were too hungry after the shopping spree.
Nandini ate her favourite Jalebi like a 4 year old.
After eating, the girls left from there to Nandini's house in the autoricksaw.
Manik too smiled seeing Nandini's cuteness.
Manik - Mujhe to pata hi nahi tha ki Nandini is soo cute and sweet and funny at the same time.
Saying this Manik left from there.
