Recap : Nandini is ready to give tests.
Let’s continue
(Third Person’s POV) When Nandini had no other option left because of strong persuasion by Rishabh, she had no other option but to go to Manik’s room and get the keys to the car. Manik shocked seeing Nandini , but he understands that Rishabh has persuaded her to take up the race that she is going to have against Dhruv :-P. When Manik hands over the keys, she says

(Nandini) “Thank you. Good night.”

(Manik’s POV) Straight to the point and leave; did she make friends with such attitude? Then Manik asked “Do you say ‘Thank you’ and ‘Sorry’ even when there is no necessity?”

She looked bewildered. Has no one ever asked her this?

(Nandini)“Yes. Many say its formal language and need not be used among friends, but my Dadaji has brought us up saying that when you are at fault say sorry, thank you when you get what you want.”

(Manik thought) What a logic! Then Manik spoke “Even if you don’t mean it?”

(Nandini) “I do mean it. Thank you and sorry if not said heartfelt, then better off not said at all. It’s not bad to say them whether it is to the person you love or the person you hate or a stranger. At least, that is what I think.”

While she was running after telling those words,

Manik shouted. “One more thing, Rishabh wanted to stay over at his friend’s place. So, he wanted your permission?”

(Manik’s POV) She looked like Rishabh told me something unnecessary and she didn’t care to hide it. Why does she not care to hide her disapprovals and anger only to me?

(Nandini) “That kid!!!!!!! Doesn’t know who to tell things. Thank you, I will talk to him. And finally, Good Night.”

(Manik’s POV) The next day was the race day. All the members of the club that is Aliya, Madhyam, Karan, Abhimanyu and Rishabh were gathered to watch race of Nandini and Dhruv. I walked down a bit late because I had completed my work only by morning 5.00am.

Then Rishabh was running upstairs stating that my sister Nandini would win even before the race started. All were shocked listening to him. Then he explained that in the townside of London where they used to stay earlier, she used to race a lot and she stopped racing when she entered university. Saying this he left us.

(Aliya) “He is the only relative that’s why he is supporting her. But I know my hubby Dhruv would only win the race.”

The racers sat in their respective cars and the race had begun. Ultimately the result was what Rishabh had told. We all were astonished seeing her race like a pro. Since I was the one who composed myself at the earliest, I made fun of others saying

(Manik) “Muh bandh karlo warna makhi ghus jaayegi” (Close your mouths else the bug will enter)

(Third Person’s POV) Since Dhruv had lost he decided he would take us for a treat. Ten all Madhyam, Karan, Abhimanyu, Aliya, Dhruv and Manan had gone for the treat that was given by Dhruv. Rishabh did not come along as he had gone to his friend’s house for group study and sleep over. Rishabh had left immediately after the race.

(Manik’s POV) After a very heart lunch,

On the way back Dhruv and I were walking and coming, while other friends including Nandini had left in cars.

I told Dhruv “Bhai yeh jagah ka khana mast hai”.

Dhruv reciprocated and said that the food is good but it is well known for pr*stitute business. Listening to this Manik was shocked.

He also discussed with Dhruv about how she had cried in front of him and then her attitude changed all of a sudden into business like. Then Dhruv told that she is not that strong as she looks. She is very fragile and tells him to handle with care. He also explained that she is pretending to be strong because she has a younger brother who she needs to handle. So she cannot stay weak in front of him. Manik gave a thought and walked back to the Club.

(Nandini’s POV) “I am done with one and now I have to cook. Hopefully that Mr. Manik (means arrogant) likes it. Nandini had earlier tasted the food that was prepared by Manik and she liked it but it was too modern. So she had decided to make a nice simple homely food the previous night. When she had dozed off,

She again got a dream from her flashback.

FLASHBACK

{ (Dadaji) “Nandu, you little cat, what are you doing in the kitchen?”

(Nandini) “I am cooking, Dadaji. Granny Sheela (maid) is helping me.”

(Dadaji) “Sheela is helping you, eh?”

Looking at Sheela control her laugh. Dadajji again spoke “Come now, little troublemaker. Let Sheela cook.”

(Nandini) “No. Today, I want to cook. I will cook you the most delicious food.”

(Dadaji) “You can start learning when you are fifteen. Till then, be a troublemaker elsewhere.”

(Nandini) “No, I am cooking today.”

(Dadaji) “If you don’t leave the kitchen right now, I am not talking with you.”

(Nandini) “Sir, please, little madam will come out soon. There won’t be any problem with the food.”

(Dadaji) “It is not the food, Sheela. She is troubling you.”

(Sheela let out a little giggle and spoke)“It is fine sir. You just go, she will follow you out. She loves you too much.”

(Dadaji) “Nandu, I am leaving.”

Seeing him walk away,(Nandini spoke) “Dadaji stop! Granny Sheela, you can help me when I turn fifteen and she left the kitchen along with Dadaji.”}

(Nandini’s POV) The next day morning Aliya had come and told that they would prefer an early lunch. Post Breakfast, I had cooked Lunch for all. Seeing their reaction, I was not able to understand whether they liked it or not. Since no one mentioned anything, I walked out of the club and told Rishabh that he could continue staying and she was going to hold a night at the hotel where Dhruv had taken them for treat and then next day she would shift to Cabir’s house.

Precap: Did Nandu take her decision in hurry?
