In Delhi
They both sat in the car.
“I m going to meet my frnds or ur girl friend ,bhai.“, teased nandini.
“Wht could i do mom already had some doubts ,she asked me many times. So I had to lie on ur name.“, justified cabir his actions.
“Chill bhai I didn’t mind and I m so excited to meet bhabhi.“,said nandini with a big smile.
They reached the hotel.
“Choti I have a meeting in half an hour. So I will leave u both alone and attend the meeting after that we can go home.“, explained cabir his plan.
“Ok I have no problem.“, said nandini and they both reached inside.
Cabir took a look around and found her sitting there in a corner.
He holds nandini hand and take her with him.
He puts his hand on the girl eyes.
“Cabir”, she exclaimed and got up from her chair and hugged him.
“I missed u”, said cabir hugging her back.
“I missed u too”, the girl said.
“Ahem... ahem...“, fake coughed nandini to get their attention.
They break the hug.
Cabir smiles and then introduce them.
“Choti she is navya , my girlfriend and navya she is nandini my sister.”
“I m so glad to meet u atlast.“, navya said and hugged her.
“Me too”, said nandini.
They settled in the chairs and ordered coffee.
“Cabir always use to talk abt u. Wherever we use to go he would say abt how u liked this place when u both came here. I was waiting desperately to meet u.“, navya said with a smile.
“I was also excited to meet the person who fell in love with my duffer bhai.“, said nandini giggling.
“I wonder how I fell for him sometimes”, said navya dramatically.
“The damage is already done and u are in love with me so stop wondering and u have to tolerate this duffer all ur life.“, said cabir defending.
“Awww bhai u are so cute and I was kidding, no one can deny my bhai “, said nandini hugging him.
Navya smiles seeing them.
Cabir asks what.
“I always saw the love for her in ur eyes whenever u talk abt her and now I m able to see it in real, so feeling happy.“, said navya admiring their bond.
They both smiled at her.
Cabir looked at his watch.
“U guys have ur time I will see u both in a hour.“, cabir said straightening himself.
“Bhai I will go home on my own u will have to again come back here from office to pick me. U will be tired.“, said nandini with concern.
“Choti I m not going to office for meeting. It is here only so I brought u two here so that after meeting I can spend some time with u both. Its in the private area my PA is waiting there so I will go and take care both of u.“, cabir finished and got up from his seat.
He side hugged nandini and kissed her forehead.
He then hugged navya and kissed her temple.
“All the best , love u”, said navya.
“Thanks ,love u too”, said cabir breaking the hug and went.
They both sat down.
“If u dont mind shall I ask u a question. “, asked nandini not sure of her reaction.
“Why r u being formal u can ask me anything”, said navya sipping her coffee.
“Dont u feel bad when bhai gives me more priority than u.“, asked nandini slowly.
Navya keeps her coffee down.
“U know nandini whenever I see him caring ,loving u I fall in love with him again. I think that the person who can do anything for his sister and love her so much can never disrespect a girl and the girl for whom he falls will be lucky and I am lucky to be that girl.“, explained navya about her feelings to her.
“I dont want anything just a loving family and a caring husband. I never met ur family but through cabir I came to know everything abt ur family and I feel that I am part of it.“, added navya smiling thinking abt future.
“Bhabhi u know this was the only thing I feared that if for me ur and bhai love gets affected and after hearing u I m proud of his choice.“, said nandini excitedly.
Navya blushed on hearing bhabhi. Nandini saw her and smiled.
“U dont mind na, if I call u bhabhi as i like calling it.“, asked nandini.
“No not all even I liked hearing it.“, said navya shyly.
They talked about each other. Cabir joined them after some time and then they head back home and cabir went to office for his work.

Phn convo ends...
Nandini checks her mail and sees the necessary information.
Nandini excitedly comes back and sees her family sitting in the living room.
She sits between her mom and dad while cabir was on the floor and naina was massaging his head.
“Wht happened nandu who was on the call , u look so happy.“, enquired sameer.
“I think her boyfrnd was on the call ,so she is smiling like this right choti.“,teased cabir.
“Boyfrnd...bhai I dont have one.“, said nandini looking at him.
“Dont have one means u have many, hawww.. choti only this was left. Mom dad I told u not to send her london for studies , see wht she did there made boyfriends .“, said cabir dramatically making funny faces.
Naina slaps his shoulders.
“Cabir stop ur drama we know her very well and she is not like u that she will make boyfriends. “, said naina strictly.
“Wht do u mean by saying not like me. Do I look like a person who makes many girlfriends then for ur kind information i only have...“, cabir was going on saying in flow but nandini cut him off.
“Dont u all want to know why I m happy.“, asked nandini glaring at cabir.
Cabir scolds himself for being not careful and speaking in flow and mouthed a thank u.
“Tell na beta we are waiting”, said naina looking at nandini.
“I had got the job”,said nandini excitedly.
Instead of being happy all look confused.
“Job?? When u applied for it”, asked sameer.
“Oops I forgot to tell u guys. Actually I knew that I have to work in india so there were some job offers in the campus. I applied there and submitted ny designs. I got the call that I got the job.“, explained nandini.
“Choti whts the need for a job. We are there na to work. U enjoy ur life to fullest. There is no need for u to do job.“, said cabir not agreeing the idea abt job.
“But bhai I want to, mom dad explain him na.“, requested nandini.
“He is right nandu.“, said sameer.
“But papa if u didn’t want me to do job why u made me study. I had a dream to fulfill. Also I want to be independent .plz I want to do job and earn on my own.“, pleaded nandini.
“Ok if u want to do job than do it in our company. U can join from tomorrow.“, said cabir.
“Bhai didn’t u hear wht I said before, I want to do something on my own. Plz bhai I want to struggle in life to get something instead of getting by my surname. This is only the time after that u guys will make me marry and I won’t be able to do anything on my own”, said nandini sadly.
“Bacha we will make u marry when u want and where no one prevents u from doing anything u like. Dont think like that.“, said naina.
“Mom u wanted to be a singer right. U had many opportunities but u declined all tell my why”, asked nandini.
“Beta I had many responsibility at that time how can I think of doing work.“, said naina.
“That was ur dream right mom, before marriage u did all things but after marriage u stopped why, dad never stopped u from doing anything u want but still u did.“, said nandini.
“Tell me mom dont u think that u should have lived ur life some more time in ur way before getting into responsibilites.“, asked nandini.
“I do “, confessed naina.
“Thats the reason mom, I want to live my life,earn for myself and face the struggle to become successful. I want to be independent before getting dependent on someone after marriage. “, said nandini.
“I understand bacha I agree for ur job.“,said naina.
“Bhai... plz”, said nandini.
“Will u be able to face all the struggles u get in the way”, asked cabir.
“I will bhai and I will be happy as I will do something I like and have interest in.“, replied nandini.
“If u are happy than I agree but any issue u will call me at that instant.“, warned cabir.
“I will”, said nandini excitedly.
She turned towards sameer
“Is ur job in delhi...“, asked sameer.
“No in mumbai”, said nandini slowly.
“Job in mumbai.... no way”,said sameer getting up.
“Dad plz”, requsted nandini.
“I dont have problem with u doing job but in mumbai. Nandu it’s a unknown place, u dont know anyone there how can I let u go there alone.“, said sameer in worry.
“The same way u send me london. I m ur strong daughter dad, I want to do this plz for me agree to it.“, asked nandini with hope.
“When is the joining date”, asked sameer.
Nandini hugged him tightly.
Naina and cabir smiled.
“I will have to go on saturday so that I can settle down properly and join from monday.“,nandini gave them details.
“Dad I too have to go dubai on saturday. U remember right.“,said cabir.
“Why”, asked nandini confused.

“How abt we go on a holiday, it will be fun”, said sameer side hugging her.
Cabir hugged nandini and both smiled seeing their parents.
“Cabir book tickets for us we will go to canada, are u okay with it?“, sameer asked naina.
Naina nodded her head.
They all had family time.

“Raj did u talk to mukti.“, asked nyonika.
“Why any issues. She is coming day after tomorrow anyways”, said raj flipping the page of the magazine.
“She didn’t call from morning, I m tensed she never does that”, said nyonika in worry.
“She would be busy mom, she will call once she gets free”,said manik to calm her.
“I m missing my princess so much.“, said raj.
“Me too dad. Let her come and I will not let her go anywhere after that. I miss my muku”,said manik with a upset face.
“Did I hear that all are missing me but I m right here infront of u.“, came a voice from the door.
A girl was standing with luggage and a handbag.
All turn towards that direction. They all stood up.
The girl kept her handbag down and took slow steps.
Manik came forward and took her in a hug and twirl her around lifting her.
She giggles.
“God I missed u so much”, said manik.

Manik hugged her again putting down.
“Mukti my baby u are back I m so happy”, said manik smiling.
“My princess dont u want to meet dad.“, asked raj.
She came to him and hugged him.
“I missed u “, she said while hugging.
He breaks the hug and kissed her forehead.
Mukti smiles.
“Somebody forgot me totally”, said nyonika looking other side.
The men chuckles and mukti moves towards her.
“If I want also u wont let me forget u.“, she said jokingly and kissed her cheek and hugged her.
“How are u , I was very tensed u didnot call since morning”, nyonika asked worried.
“I wanted to suprise u guys and if I would have called I would have spill out the truth.“, said mukti sitting on the sofa.
“Today morning dhruv was asking abt u and I said u will come in 2 days. He will be so happy to see u.“, informed manik.
“I will suprise him by going to office to meet him.“,said mukti excitedly.
“Princess how u came early. U had work u said.“, asked raj.
“I was planning to come yesterday only with my frnds but I lost my ticket so had to wait one more day.“, mukti said sadly.
“But this one day was not bad.I enjoyed so much.“, added mukti.
“Bacha u would be tired go and take rest. I will get u sth to eat.“, said nyonika.
“Yes mom I m so tired , I will be upstairs in my room. Dad I will come to office tomorrow with u and dont tell dhruv abt my coming”, said mukti and went upstairs to rest.
All others also got busy with their works.
