Nandini slipped away from there and ran into her room sobbing.
"Kyun? Aisa mere saath hi kyun ho raha hai? Maine aisa kya kiya baghwanji jo aap mujhe sazza de rahe hai? Matlab...mera pati, mera nahi hai....yahan kuch bhi mera nahi hai..."
Nandini broke down even more remembering Natasha's words.
"Aise rohke kuch nahi hoga Nandini." A familiar voice said. Nandini looked up and was shocked at who she saw.
"D...D..D...D...Da..."
"Haan Haan mein hi hoon....teri Dadi. Par ek baat baata, tune uss churail ko ek jhappad kyun nahi lagaya? Kaha gayi woh gundi Nandu jo kisi se bhi larr jaati thi? Main kuch saalon ke liye marr kya gayi tu Geeta se Seeta ban gayi."
Nandini just stood there, still unable to believe what she was seeing.
"Aur woh...Natasha Bedi. Kya bola usne? Im here to take back whats mine! Huh, mera pota kya koi ghar hai jo jab chahe bank ke paas girvi rakh le aur phir saalon baad churane aa gayi...Usne choda tha, mere Manu aur apne do chote chote bachon ko ab kis haq se wapas aayi hai?" The elderly woman raged, she then looked at Nandini who was swaying slightly in her spot. "Nandini....tu kuch bol kyun nahi rahi hai?"
Nandini kept swaying, her eyes rolled back and she fell backwards onto the ground , unconscious.
"Arre aree!" Dadi leaned over Nandini looking at her in concern. "Yeh toh behosh hi ho gayi...Nandini...NANDINI!"
Slowly Nandini stirred and as she opened her eyes she found Dadi's face right above her.
"AAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" Nandini let out a high pitched scream as she sat up in horror.
"SHHH! Nandini chup ho jaa!" Dadi tried sushing her but it was too late, hearing her scream, Nyonika & Raj, Manik's parents came running into her room in concern.
"Nandini beta, kya hua?" Raj asked. Nyonika sat beside her and comforted her too. Nandini was staring straight ahead and with a shaking hand she pointed at Dadi. Raj & Nyonika looked where she was pointing but saw nothing.
"Nandini...kya dikha rahi hai?" Nyonika asked.
"Yeh log nahi dekh payenge mujhe...koshish bhi mat kar." Dadi told her.
"Main paani deta hoon...rukh." Raj got up, walked right through Dadi to the side table and started pouring a glass of water. Nandini gasped and started swaying again.
"Lo...phirse.." Dadi shook her head. Nandini fainted again and Nyonika started panicking.
"Raj! Dekho na kya ho gaya isse!"
"Arre kuch nahi hua behosh ho gayi hai. Pehli baar bhoot dekh rahi hai na bechari...isi liye." Dadi replied...of course nobody heard her but that wouldnt stop her.
"MANIK!" Raj called to his son as Nyonika started fanning Nandini trying to wake her up. Manik ran in and was slightly concerned to see Nandini unconscious but kept a straight face.
"Ab isse kya hua?" Manik rolled his eyes.
"Khotey...yeh koi tareeka hua apni biwi ke baare mein baat karne ki? Thodi toh fikar dikha sakta hai na?" Dadi scolded Manik.
"Manik...Nandini yaha behosh ho gayi hai aur tu...chod. Doctor ko bula abhi!" Raj said.
"Behosh hi hua hai Dad. Pura din bina kuch khaaye ya piyee party ke tayyari mein lagi hogi...you know how she is. Isme itna pareshan hone wali koi baat nahi hai. Vaise bhi we have bigger problems." Manik said. Dadi made a gesture like she wanted to choke Manik from behind. "Usse saale vakil ne jhoot bola tha humme ki divorce ho gaya. I cant believe main yahan do do biwiyon ko paati hoon. Seriously Dad, what will we do about Natasha? Kyunki main uss aurat ko iss ghar mein bardasht nahi kar sakta."
"Toh iss ghar ko uske naam kyun kiya bewakoof!" Dadi muttered.
"Abhi ke liye kuch nahi kar sakte Manik....Dont worry hum lawers se baat kar ke kuch tarkeeb nikalte hai chal." Raj said. "Nyo...tum Nandini ka khayal rakho. Hum aate hai."
Raj took Manik and left the room.
"Haan jaa...isse nalayak ko mere nazron ke samne se leke jaa warna main jhooti nikalke maarungi!" Dadi said.
"Nandu...utha ja bache." Nyo stroked Nandini's hair gently. A few minutes later Nandini woke up again and Dadi made her self invisible so she couldnt see her. Nandini got up and looked around. "Nandini...kya hua?"
"Ma woh...maine..."
"Kya?"
"Yahan abhi..."
"Tu bhi na...kitna kaam karti hai? Thak gayi hogi. Aaram kar main bas niche hi hoon. Soh jaa." Nyonika tucked Nandini in bed and then left after turning the light off.
"Finally Chali gayi." Dadi sighed in relief as she made herself visible again. Nandini shot up in bed and stared wide eyed at her. "Ab hum baat kar sakte hai."
"D...D..D..D..Da..Dadi? A..a..aap..."
"Bhoot hoon main." Dadi replied.
"B..B..BHO-" Nandini started to scream but Dadi snapped her fingers and then no sound came from Nandini's mouth. Nandini realized no sound was coming and tried screaming louder but still no sound. She started freaking out and pointed at her neck.
"Maine kiya hai...tu chup rahegi toh awaz vapas milega varna..." Dadi warned. Nandini nodded. "Pakka chilayegi nahi?"
Nandini again nodded.
"Thik hai..." Dadi snapped her fingers and Nandini could talk again.
"D..Dadi...yeh...aap toh marr gayi thi na?"
Dadi sighed in exasperation. "Nandu....log marne ke baad hi bhoot bante hai. Zinda log bhoot nahi bante na?"
"Haan....sorry Dadi. Mera dimaag nahi chal raha hai." Nandini said.
"Tera dimaag toh pichle 5 saal se nahi chal raha hai." Dadi replied. Nandini looked confused. "Dekh mujhe paata hai ke mera woh pota...nalayak hai, idiot hai bohot bada wala aur bohot kuch ai par tujhse kisna kaha ki apne aap ko badal de? Paatiyon ko na rijha ke rakhna parta hai.."
"Lekin...Manik toh mera pati hai hi nahi. Uska aur Natasha ka divorce toh kabhi hua hi nahi." Nandini replied sadly.
"Hmm sunna maine. Lekin mujhe na daal mein kuch kaala lag raha hai. Matlab kuch toh pakka gadbadh hai....aise kaise divorce nahi hua? Natasha ke baaton pe vishwas nahi kiya jaa sakta."
"Lekin..main ab kya karugi Dadi?"
"Aukat dikhayegi...uss Natasha Bedi ko. Aur haan laag haathon tere uss pati ko bhi sabhak sikhana hai." Dadi smirked.
"Kya!" Nandini looked alarmed. "Par main...Manik ko kaise?"
"Kyun? Pati hai toh kya uske paas woh monopoly wala get out of jail wala card hai?" Dadi asked. "Bilkul nahi, tujhe purani wali Nandini banna hoga aur purani wali Nandini Manik ko itni asani se jaane nahi deti right?"
Nandini nodded.
"Yeh hui na baat."
"Lekin...main yeh sab karungi kaise?" Nandini asked.
"Meri madat se aur kaise? Tu tension na le beta...abhi aaram kar. Kal subha baat karenge." Dadi smiled and then disappeared.
