Unexpected love

To see you smiling

Third person's POV

Cabir (smirking):- when I was entering the room I saw you day dreaming or to be precise thinking about something or someone and smiling so I want to know why were you smiling?

Manik facepalms

Manik ( rolling eyes):- Cabir why are you acting like you have seen me smiling before ever in my life. Obviously during the college days you have seen me laughing itself

Cabir (accepting it):- yeah I know I am the amazing person who could make you laugh

Manik (irritated):- okay now no need to praise or boast about yourself I am not at all interested in listening or seeing that crap

Cabir ( sulking):- that is so mean of you

Manik:- anyways why did you come here

Cabir (teasing look):- to see you smiling

Manik ( glaring at him):- it's not at all funny Cabir, tell me exactly why have you come here

Cabir (dramatically):- huh you don't even value my love for you.

Manik (irritated):- Cabir it's not funny anymore, I know that you don't come to my cabin just for fun or doing time pass so tell me what is the real matter

Cabir (serious):- yeah I came here to tell you that I have contacted the girl who got selected for her painting and explained her everything about her work

Manik:- good so what did she say?

Cabir:-she told me that she has some issues in her home

Manik (confused):- like what?

Cabir:-she told that her mom doesn't like her becoming a painter so she just can't come and sit in our other office but she can do painting

Manik:- oh that is okay because painting is related to creativity and since she is ready to still paint even though parents are opposing then that shows her passion towards the work

Cabir:-yes I know that and that is the reason why I told her it is okay to not come and sit in the office

Manik ( Pats Cabir shoulder):- atleast something good you did in your life

Cabir glares at him and Manik makes an obvious face

After sometime:-

The office time gets over and everyone starts to leave, manik has always left his office last because he wants to make sure that everyone has left and all the things are under control

As usual he reached his home and greeted his parents but they were looking at each other and arguing through their eyes and actions regarding who will talk with manik first

Looking at this manik got irritated because he is waiting for someone to speak up but both of them were arguing only

Manik (irritated):- mom, dad can you both tell me what is the matter

Looking at his irritated face his dad decides to tell him the matter and his mom assures him through her eyes

Manik's dad ( stands up from his place):- manik we have to tell you something

Manik (curiously):-what is it dad?

Manik's dad (puts his hand on Manik's

shoulder):-I know you might get angry listening to this but I want you to listen the whole thing

Manik ( getting irritated):- dad you can tell me anything and you know that

Manik's dad:- your mom and I were thinking of your marriage

Manik (rolling his eyes):- dad not again, we have already had this conversation several times and I have denied it Everytime and my answer will not change anytime soon

Manik's dad ( sighs) :- manik you need to understand that you have attained the age of marriage and you already know that we don't have any problem even if you love a girl (winks)

Manik (nodding a no):- dad that is not the matter, if I love someone then I will definitely tell you but the thing is that marriage is a very huge responsibility and I am scared that what if the girl who is believing me, leaving her house and coming here to spend the rest of her life with me won't be happy with me?

Manik's dad:-it all depends on your thinking, if you think it only as a responsibility which you have to fulfill at any cost then even she will feel like that and at the end both of you will not be happy

Manik:- no dad I can't do this, I cannot risk someone's life just because I am at the age of getting married. We will discuss about my marriage when I'm interested and willfully want to marry someone

Saying this he leaves from there and his parents have a disappointed look on their face

On the other side:-

Nandini has reached her home and her mom welcomes her with a warm smile , she greets her mother back and has a small talk with her

Later at night she goes to her room and opens her diary, she has always had the habit of writing her diary though not daily but whenever she feels like and today she felt like sharing the first day of her work with her diary and started to write on it with a smile on her face

Nandini's pov (writing her diary)

Today was the first day at my work place and I am still not able to believe that I will work with my crush manik, it feels like I am some movie or fairytale story

Apart from manik I found another person to tallk with in my office and that is Dhruv who is my incharge he looked like a very sweet person who cares for everyone and doesn't hurt anyone, I know we cannot judge anyone at the first meet itself but Dhruv genuinely looked nice to me so I don't have any problem on talking freely with him

Finally I have a job of my own and become independent in my life I am so happy and proud of myself. I hope wherever my dad is , he will also be proud of me
