Raj and Manik after completing their work went back home early today. They all sat to have lunch and then went to the living room. Neyonika budged Raj to speak with Manik as he would not cut him off..
Raj: Beta your mom and me were thinking to get you married now as it is the right time.
Manik was shocked and he said
M: Dad where is this coming from.. I do not want to get married at present. Specially we should focus on Mukti at first come on..
Ney: Manik bacha mukti wants a Love marriage and we are discussing about you not anyone else. Is there someone in your life that we do not know of.
M: Mom it is not that, there is no one in my life that i love and if that was the case then i would have told you guys.. It is just that i am not ready for any relationship at present.
Ney: Manik but you need to settle down in your life, and if there is no one in your life then why are you declining to getting married.
M: Mom it is just that i do not want any relationship at present and marriage is a big step i do not want to just jump into it.
Raj: Beta we are not telling you to get married straight away, we are just asking you to meet different prospects and if you find someone upto your mark then we would think about it.
Please beta this is the right age to think about marriage and take a step towards it. You are excelling in your career and everything. Please beta give it a thought.
M: Dad i am not sure at present give me some time to think upon it. But still don't get your hopes high.
Ney: Chalo that is good. and haan we won't get hopes high bas. But do not be biased with anything that runs in your head and take a decision.
on the other side
I: I am so proud of you bacha, mera smart bache ne prove kar hi diya hai na that she can do anything when it comes to business... After all she has it in her blood..
N: Haan maa and you should have seen the faces of other companies jab maine Mr. Malhotra ke questions ko answer diya. They were hell socked as they never imagined. And that Mr. Malhotra he did not have anything else to say or ask. I mean there was total silence all over for a while.
I: Are baap re is that so.. Saying this she pulled her cheeks and then said.. Chal ab baki ki bate baad mai karte hai, pehle khana kha le..
N: Maa please muje reward milna chahiye na.. I mean I performed so well... Please pretty please.. (Nandini said this making a puppy face)
I: Chal nautanki aaja khilati hu mai tuje.. (Well that is the reward system in their family. To get the taste of food from hands of Ishita)
Abhi: Maa isko Navya se thoda dur rakho melodrama karna chalu kar diya hai iss ne.
N: Mummy bhai ko bolo meri friend ko kuch nahi bolne ka..
Abhi: Kyu mirchi lagti hai kya.. Dramebaaz...
N: Mummy bhai ko bolo na.. (She said stomping her foot)
I: Abhi chalo bas karo aur khane pe concentrate karo..
All this while Raman was in deep thoughts and enjoying his family having a gala time together. But his eyes every now and then would halt at Nandini only seeing her smile and that happiness that her eyes reflect...
