Recap: girls punish Shivam n gang..ACP n Nandini talk..

Ab: guys ek minute..isse pehle we leave..i want to congratulate all our girls..seriously..aaj jo bravery aap logo ne dikhaai hai..thats commendable. I believe every girl has it in her..it just needs some polishing..some push..n i dnt understand y cant we be that push. Instead k hum ladies ka support system bane..jaise wo humari hoti hai..we tend to bring them down n be superior to them. Trust me guys..girls humare bina jee sakti hai..coz they have it in them tht they keep going on in their lives inspite of facing the biggest problems..they can keep struggling without giving up..but we guys..we need ladies in every step of our lives. Arre humari paidaaishi b to inhi ladies se hoti hai...phirb we tend to take them for granted. N jab wo humse door jaati hai..tab hee hume unki ehmiyat ka pata chalta hai. So today..i really really want to thank u all..thank u for making me a part of ur lives..as a mentor..as a friend.. (looking at Nandini) and as a Chota Papa.

Cab: bas kar Abhi..ab rulaayga kya bacho ko. Haan but..i agree with u. Ye ladkiya dikhti to kamzor n delicate si hai..but they have the strength to carry a baby for 9 months n bear the most terrible pain while delivering..itni taaqat hoti hai k heartbreak me b muskuraati hai.. they r really special.

Man: yes they r. They dont expect a lot from us..all they need is a little bit of TLC.. tender..love..n care. N if u give them that..they wud lay their lives for u. Wo kehte hai na.. A man who treats his woman like a queen..shows that he has been raised like a King.

Dhr: but unfortunately not everyone is a King.

Nav: guys...aap log kuch zyada hee emotional nai hogaye?

Al: exactly. Ok fine..we take all ur compliments n thank u whole heartedly..but plz..lets not waste tonight..its such a big night..lets celebrate..plzzz

Muk: i second her. We need to loose it up a bit. Waise b kal se to phir college hai..but thank God..its after lunch..werna to poori raat party kerke i wouldnt have been in a condition to attend any lectures in the morning.

Al: haan lekin hum celebrate kaha kare?

Man: mere ghar chalte hai..pool party kerte hai. What say?

Muk: nai yaar Manik..thats our usual adda..lets change it na today.

Al: how about we go to a club?

Nav: club? Aapka matlab is jaisa? (Pointing to the club behind) na baba..hume to bilkul b pasand nahi aaya.

Cab: Madhubala..saare clubs ek jaise nahi hote. Ye ek ghatiya club hai..lekin jisme hum jaate hai..wo ek 5 star club hai. Trust us ok?

Man: Nandini..tum bataao..tum kaha celebrate kerna chahti ho?

Nan: emm..kahi b..jaha sab chaahe.

Muk: haan but choti koi suggestion to do.

Nan (looking at everyone): wo...me soch rahi thi..this is our victory...y not celebrate it only within ourselves? Kisi aisi jaga jaha sirf hum ho..jaha focus hum ek dusre pe kersake?

Ab: thts a nice idea Barbie.

Dhr: actually..even i think tht..club me shor sharaaba..n its something we usually do. Lets change that..

Al: thts completely fine. Par jaga konsi choose kare?

Muk: emm..mere ghar me aaj koi relatives aaye hai..so waha to possible nahi.

Al: we can go to my house..waha to mom dad b nahi hai. Haan but..poolside me renovation chal rahi hai..so we cant go into the pool.

Cab: yaar..pool zaruri nahi but u never knw..humara mood kabhi b badal jaata hai.

Nan: emm..mere..mere ghar chale?

Abhi n navya turn their heads towards her in a jerk. Navya approaches her n says..

Nav: Nandu..tumhare ghar?

Nan (looking hesitant): ha..haan..

Nav: pakka?

Nan: aaj jo jeet humne haasil ki hai..usme hum sab ka poora contribution hai. Saza sirf me dena chahti thi..lekin aap sab logo ne mujhe akela nahi choda. U guys proved ur friendship. So this calls for a celebration..to y not my place?

Nandini looks at Abhi n finds him looking at her with a smile. He nods his head as if giving his permission.

Navya hugs her tightly.

Nav: hum bohot bohot khush hai nandu..tum hum sabko apne ghar leke jaa rahi ho.

Cab: ek min Madhubala Ji..behna hume uske ghar leke jaa rahi hai..koi US k trip pe nahi jaa rahe jo itna excited horahi ho. Shaant baalike shaant.

Nav: Cabirrrr... theek hai..hum kuch nahi bolenge..sirf aapka reaction dekhenge...jab aap Nandu ka ghar dekhenge.

Al: ok then..what r we waiting for..come on..lets go.

Everyone take their cars (just the way they were seated earlier).

Manik's car:

Man: Nandini..

Nan: hmm?

Man: tum theek ho na?

Nandini passes a small smile n nods her head. She then turns towards the window n keeps her head on the headrest.

Man (self talk): i knw Nandini..ab bhi bohot kuch chal raha hai tumhare andar..n mayb thts y u r lost somewhere. Me tumhara har dard jaan na chahta hu Nandini..i want to heal u..but i cant push u. Aaj k liye kaafi hogaya..u went thru a lot today. N jaise u opened up today..i hope a day comes when u completely open up n share all ur worries..ur troubles n ur insecurities with me. N i hope tht day comes soon. But filhaal..all that can take a back seat. All i want is to see that pretty smile on ur face again.

Man: ehemm.. wud u plz take the honor n guide me to ur place, Madame?

Nandini looks at him in confusion. She wiggles her eyebrows as if asking what?

Man: Madame..i havent seen ur place..so i cant drive till u guide.. Allez- vous, (will u), Madamé?

Nandini smiles: Oui, Monseiur (sure, Mister)

Man (surprised): wooh..so u knw French too ha. Thts great. Ehemmm..Où à(where to), Madamé?

Nandini giggles on seeing Manik acting like a driver. She guides him the way to her place. Manik relaxes on seeing her giggling. He drives the car whereas others follow him.

After 45 min...

Nan: bas Manik..aap yahi park kerdo.

Man(looking stunned n hesitant): a..are..are u sure..hum sahi address pe aaye hai?

Nan: i live here..so..jaha tak i knw..address sahi hai. Aap yaha park kardijiye..Dhruv n Bhai aapke peeche park kerdenge. N BB wud take the car into the parking.

Manik just smiles hesitantly n nods. He parks the car n both get down from the car followed by others. Fab5 look at each other in a stunned way..whereas Navya just chuckles on seeing them so lost.

Muk: choti..tu..tu yaha..rehti hai?

Nan: haan..chale?

Nav: haan chalo

Nandini n navya proceed whereas fab5 were still digesting the fact tht Nandini lives here.

Cab: yaar Manik..aaj mujhe meri kam height pe afsos horaha hai

Man: kyu?

Cab: yaar agar me teri tara khamba hota..to mujhe gardan ko itna upar to nai kerna padta..ise dekhte dekhte kahi meri gardan hee na nikal aaye.

Dhr: u r right Cabir..is this where Nandini lives?

Muk: guys...hum Mumbai k sabse posh area me hai..haan kabhi socha nahi tha k Choti yaha rehti hogi.

Al: mujhe to sirf building dekh k chakkar aagaye.

Ab: guys...kaha reh gaye..chalna nahi hai kya?

Dhr: haan..haan lets go.

All wnter Nandini's building..where on one hand fab5 were stunt n shocked to see their surrounding..Navya was excited to see their reaction.

Watchman: good evening Mam.

Nan: kaka..kitni baar bola..aap mujhe mam mat boliye.

Watchman looks doubtfully at fab5.

Nan: ye log..mere dost hai. Aage se agar inme se koi mujhe milna chaahe to aap inhe rokiyega mat.

Watchman (smiling genuinely): nahi rokenge bitiya. Hume is baat ki khushi hai k kamsekam 1.5 saal baad tumne kisi ko to apne saath apne ghar laaya. Kuch zarurat ho to hume boldena.

Nan: nai kuch nahi kaka. (To all) chalo.

They enter the lift when Aliya asks..

Al: Nandini...wh..which floor?

Nav (before Nandini answers): top floor.

Cab: top floor? (He swallows a lump). Waise Navya ji..aap pehle b yaha aayi hai kya?

Nav: haan..aaye hai na..jab pehli baar hum sab orphanage gaye the aur phir wo gunde..

She immediately bites her tongue to stop her ranting.. she looks at Muklya n finds them with their heads down. Manik looks at Nandini n recalls how he slapped her..he too moves his gaze down. Cabir n Dhruv too feel ashamed when they recalled all their mischiefs that they had done to trouble Nandini..n now.. here they r.. going to her place.

Ab: gunde? Konse gunde?

Ting...

The beep of elevator caused a break in their conversation.

Nan: chale?

They all follow Nandini. Though whatever happened in the lift made them ashamed of their own selves..yet they couldnt keep their eyes from widening every second when they were walking towards Nandini's apartment. They were too shocked to see the floor on which Nandini's flat was located.

Nav (whispering to Nandini): Nandu..inki shakle to dekho. Agar sirf tumhara floor dekh k ye haal hai..to phir tumhara apartment dekh ke kya haal hoga? Nandu plz..isse pehle k ye sab andar guse..tum hume apna mobile dedo..hum in sab ke na..wo chaukne waale expressions ko kaid kerna chahte hai. Khaas ker ke Cabir k..bohot sataate hai na hume..phir hum b unhe sataaya karenge.

Nan: oh..to tumhe Bhai ko sataane me mazaa aata hai?

Nav: hu..humne..ai..aisa thodi bola. Acha rehne do..

Nan: arre me to mazaak ker rahi thi. Ye lo (handling her mobile to Navya)

Nav: ab ayega oonth pahaad k neeche.

Nan: u mean..Cabir Navya k neeche..

Saying so..both stop at their places..Nandini looks at Navya..n finds her blushing while looking down.

Nan: aah..Navu..i..i ddnt mean..waise..wo..galti se...

Nav: hum jaante hai nandu..fikar mat karo..hume bura nahi laga.

Nan: acha? To kya... (going closer to her ear) acha laga?

Navya widens her eyes..

Nav: Nandu..tum na..in fab5 k saath kum hee ghooma karo..besharam hoti jaa rahi ho tum b.

Nan: mene kab kaha me shareef hu. (Shrugs her shoulders)
Acha ab chalo..darwaza kholte hai.

Cab: ah..behna...wo...wo r u sure hum sahi jaga aaye hai?

Dhr: haan wo..actually yaha to koi flat nahi dikhaai de raha.

Ab: relax guys..is top floor pe sirf Barbie ka aprtment hai. Isliye koi aur flat nahi nazar aaraha.

Nandini glares at Abhi..

Ab: sry..mera matlab humara apartment.. ok?

Nan: better..

Muk: Nandini...wo..key hole kaha hai?

Nan: muku..wo ye electronic door hai..so it doesnt have a key..

Al: to ye khulta kaise hai?

Ab: wo..iska passcode Nandini k eyes scan hai. N if she is not there..to ye (showing a card) ise swipe kerke darwaza khuljaata hai.

Cab: aur agar ye card b na ho to?

Nan: to ek aur password hai..jise enter kerke ye door khul sakta hai.

Dhr: wow..itna secured passway.! But i dnt understand..itne passwords ki kya zarurat hai? I mean..u said u live alone..to phir tumhare bina to is ghar me koi nahi aayega..then y do u need so many other passwords?

Nan: back up k liye.

Nandini stands in front of what seems a small camera..which scans her eyes n the door of her apartment opens. As soon as the door opens..Navya rushes inside n opens the camera of Nandini's mobile n captures each n every fab5 members' picture..which was definitely worth watching.
Their eyes were as wide as headlights..n their jaws..no one would wonder if their jaws wud really touch the ground..that much open they were. They were in a state of complete shock. Not in a state to hear or respond to their names being called out by Navbhini. They were just standing at the door n gawking the place.

Ab: yaar..pichle 5 min se inhe bulaa rahe hai..ho kya gaya inhe? Khud b to sche khaase villas me rehte hai..then whats the problem?

Nav: rehne do na Abhi..hume to inka video shoot kerne me badaa mazaa araha hai. Hahahaha...aur awaaze lagaao inhe..inhe to kuch sunaai b nahi de raha.

Nan: Aiyappa...ufff..ab ek hee raasta hai. BB..Navu..plz ek last time..saath me zor se inke naam lete hai..

Nav: lekin naam kiska le?

Ab: fab5?

Nan: ok..so on the count of 3..
3..2..1..

Navbhini (shouting): Fab5.............

Thats when their spell breaks..

Cab: holy freaking shit..

Al:what the.....heaven!

Dhr: woowww

Muk: i gotta b dreaming..

Man: Holy Mother of Jesus!

Fab5: where r we?

Nan: guys..plzz..andar aajao..n u r welcome in my little place.

Muk: little? Is this ur place?

Nan: ye..yes..

Dhr: tum yaha rehti ho?

Nan: ha..haan..

Al: u live here?? In this awesomely n extremely beautiful penthouse?? R u kidding me???

Nan: guys..plzz..ghar hee to hai.. y dnt u guys come in.

Al: ek.shart pe..tumhe mujhe abhi isi waqt ek tour dena hoga..tumhare ghar ka..plzz pretty plzzz..
Plzz doll..u knw..mera hamesha se mann tha ek penthouse me rehne ka..but dad jab bhi deal crack kerne jaate..kuch na kuch hojaata.

Nan: to ab ye penthouse hai na. .tum jab chaho yaha aasakti ho.. it is ur second home.

Aliya gets deeply touched with such simple words of Nandini. She just hugs her tightly.

Al: u truly are an Angel Nandini.. (breaking the hug)
Guys..aaj se..ye hamara naya hideout/escape place hai.. i dnt knw abt u guys..but seriously Doll...i just stepped in n i got a homely feeling. U really wont mind na if i come here anytime?

Nan(smiling genuinely): i will b glad.

Muk: oh hello...Choti..tour karaana plzzz..

Nav: haan haan chalo..hume b mazaa aayega dobara sab kuch dekhne me.

Nan: ek minute.. wo..i knw aap logo k mann me bohot se sawaal hai...mujhe leker..is ghar ko leker.. me sirf itna kehna chahti hu k..

Cab: relax behna..(cupping her face) humne tujhse kuch poocha? Nai na? Haan..ye sab humare liye kisi shock se kam nahi hai..but iska matlab ye nahi tht we will pressurise u to tell us everything. We all r individuals with our own shares of secrets..though we say there shouldnt b secrets between friends..but we even knw k humari nai nai friendship hai..so thoda time lagega open up hone me..tu fikar mat kar..hmmm?

Nandini nods smilingly.

Dhr: to ab..ghar dekhe? I wont lie..even i m fascinated about seeing this pretty house.

Nan: yes..chalo..

They all proceed but Manik still stays back.. Nandini sees this n goes n stands in front of him.

Nan: Manik..kya huwa?

Manik was avoiding looking into her eyes..he just shook his head in a no.

Nandini cups his face slowly..n makes him look into her eyes.. she tries reading him..n well..how beautifully she did tht..

Nan: bhool jaao Manik.. jab tak hum hamari beeti baato ko pakad k rakhenge..tab tak hum poore dil se aaj ki khushiya nahi manaa paayenge. Everyone makes mistakes..but tht doesnt mean we let our mistake to mould up our lives. We should learn from our mistakes n try not to repeat them. Plz bhool jaao jo kuch huwa.

Man(taken aback): how do u understand me so well? Mere bina kahe..tumhe kaise pata chal jaata hai wht m i thinking?

Nandini removes her hand from his face..

Nan: chale? Sab wait ker rahe hai..

Saying so..she leaves from there with Manik behind..who was now smiling.

Nandini gave a tour of her "little" 5BHK apartment to fab5. Fab5 were spellbound with the beauty of her apartment. They couldnt believe that Nandini is living in such a luxurious apartment.

Nandini's favorite place (2nd end)

Muk: wow Choti...i must say..its the most beautiful n homely place i have ever seen..

Dhr: seriously Nandini..its simply magnificent.

Nav: arre..abhi to tum logo ne Nandu ki favourite jaga hee nahi dekhi. Pata hai..pichli baar jab hum aayye the aur Nandu k saath uske kamre me soye the..tab madam aadhi raat ko uthke baahar chali gayi thi sone. Subah jab ise dhoond rahe the..tab dekha kaise bina chaadar k so gayi thi.

Ab(painfully): wo aaj b aadhi rast ko uthke wahi soti hai.

All look at him in confusion..but soon realize Abhi is talking about her nightmares..which stop Nandini from taking a peaceful sleep. Painful expression crosses everyone's faces.

Nan: guys..bhook lagi hogi..kuch khaake celebration shuru kare?

Cab: thank God..kamsekam meri behen ko to mera khayal hai. Chal behna..hum aapas me khaale te hai.

Nan: how about Pizza? Anyone up for it?

All: yup..

Nan: ok then..pizza aagaya hoga..mene pehle hee order kerdiya tha. Girls..mind helping in setting the table?

Girls: of course not...

Nav: Nandu..hum na..in kapdo me comfortable nahi hai..hume change kerna hai pehle.

Al: actually u r ryt Navya..even i want to hang around in something more comfortable..but kya karu..i ddnt get my clothes with me.

Nan: haan so thts not a problem. U guys can take my clothes.

Nav: haan theek hai.. chalo phir pehle kapde hee badal dete hai.

Nan: BB..jab tak we change our clothes..mind setting the table plz?

Ab: dnt wry Barbie..today is girl's day. Take ur time..tab tak we boys will set it all.

Girls : ooooooohhhh..

The girls go ahead to change their clothes..whereas boys set out the table. After a while..the girls come n all have their dinner together.
While having dinner..Nandini says..

Nan: i want to say something. Aaj..its a victory celebration for us..we..together..achieved our goal today. So aaj se..abhi se..lets make a fresh start..lets keep the past in past n make a beautiful future..together..what say?

All: we all say a biggggg yes.....

Nan: good..to aaj k baad..no one will recall anything related to our past.

Nav: haan..hum.nayi yaade banaayenge..sab saath milke.

All look at Nandini with gratitude..coz they understood she wants to remove the guilt tht is still in them

Al: waise Doll...ur house is beautiful..but u knw what..the most beautiful part is that picture's wall..which has all ur picz..Jeez..u look so so adorable in them.

Muk: haan choti.. in fact the best one was the one in which u were wearing shorts.

Cab: na na..best one tha the one in which she is posing with violin

Dhr: no..the cutest is the one in which she is wearing the blue top.

Man (looking at Nandini): she looks beautiful in all...but the one which shows her true face..her innocence..is the one wearing the pink dress...clicked in a jungle. That pic shows as if the photographer knws her inside out..n thts y it was easy to capture her innocent beauty in the camera.

Nandini stops eating n tears pool up in her eyes. She recalls something..but immediately stops herself from going back to her past..she doesnt want to spoil today's celebration.

Cab: waah re Manik baba..itni baariki se to khud behna ne apne photos nahi dekhe honge..jitni baariki se tune dekha. Waah...

Man: Cabir...shut up.

Cabir shrugs his shoulders n continues munching on french fries.

Al: waise Nandini..this is a 5 BHK ryt?

Nandini nods.

Al: but we to saw only 4 rooms..5th kaha hai?

Nandini freezes at her spot..so does Abhi. But before anyone suspects on them..Abhi immediately handles the situation.

Ab: wo..5th room khaali hai..so isiliye nahi dikhaaya.

Muk: oohh. ok so khaana hogaya..anyone sleepy? Coz if they r..plz go n wash ur face n come back..we r gonna play something.

Al: yes...lets play..

Ab: ok then...u guys go n sit in the living room..i will go n..

Muk: Abhi plzz...its just about tonight..plz join us n play..

Ab(smiles): Mukti..i was saying..i will go n get ice creams for all n then join.

Mukti gets embarrassed n puts her head down smilingly.

They all sit in a circle n were discussing what game wud they play.

Nav: hum bataay..

Cab: Madhubala plzz..tum to bas apna antakshiri hee jaanti ho..n hum bacho waali nai..bado waali game khelna chahte hai.

Nav (glaring): hogaya?

Nan: bhai plz...atleast use bolne do.

Nav: huh..ye hai humari sakhi.. acha hum jo game k baare me bataa rahe the..wo ye hai k..hum log naye naye dost bane hai..matlab 2-3 maheene poorani hee hai..lekin phirb bohot kuch hogaya hum logo k beech. Is sab me hum logo ne ek doosre k baare me kai baate jaani..kuch achi..kuch buri. To kyu na aaj..hum sab..ek dusre ki ek achi baat..aur ek buri baat ko share kare?

Al: u mean..1 good quality n 1 bad quality?

Nav: haan. Jaise k..pehle hum pairs me divide hojaayenge. Har pair ek dusri ki 1 1 quality bataayga. Aur phir jab sab ki chance hogai hogi..tab hum pairs ko badal denge.

Nan: sounds interesting.

Cab: waah madhubala ji..maan na padhega..mere saath rehte rehte..kaafi smart hogai ho.

Dhr: ok so..lets start..pairs kaise banaay?

Al: lets make it this way first..1 girl n 1 boy. What say?

Ab: cool..thts nice..

Al: ok so..Dhruv n me..
Navya n Cabir..
Mukti n Abhi..
Nandini n Manik
Ok?

All: ok..

Muk: so..shuru kisse kare?

Nav: aliya..tum shuru karo..tum aur Dhruv to couple b ho na.

Al: ok..i dnt mind. Hmmm..Dhruv ki 1 good quality..emmm..waise i love all his qualities...how shud i choose 1?

Muk: thts not fair aliya..1 quality hee bolni hai...n dnt wry..he knws how much u love him..n if u choose 1 quality..tht wouldnt mean u dont see his other qualities..it means tht the first quality u saw in him.

Al: hmmm..okk..

N 1 bad quality is... he is very shy..

Dhr: baby..m not shy..

Al: yes u r..specially in expressing ur love.

All: oooohhh..

Dhr: ahaa...

Dhruv cups Aliya's face..n gives a peck on her lips..causing everyone's eyes to widen..n aliya was just blushing.

Dhr: wud u still say i m a shy boy? Hmmm?

Nandini claps her hands n smiles a big smile..

Nan: that was so so romantic Dhruv..it was beautiful..

Nav: mata rani..ye kya...Nandu..kya kar rahi ho..uchlo mat..aur hume to aankhe band kerleni chaahiye..ye inka private moment hai..

Nan: haan hai..n i believe k private moments private hee rehna chahiye..but tum hee bolo..aaj se pehle to dhruv ne kabhi aisa nahi kiya..aaj just because Aliya ko aisa lagta tha k wo shy hai n apna pyar ka izhaar nahi kerte..to Dhruv ne bas wahi kiya..isnt tht so romantic?

Man (self talk): romantic haan? Matlab Ms. Topper romance ki bohot badi fan hai. Hmmm..good for me ;)

Cab: waah re topiwaale..tu to bada besharam nikla. Sharam nahi aayi hum seedhe saadhe bacho k saamne apna pda dikhaate huwe?

Muk: shut up Cabir..

Ab: ok guys..game aage badhaay..Dhruv..ur chance.

N for this point..Nandini i want to thank u. U knw..us din salsa sikhaate waqt..u made me realize tht Aliya is ready to leave her comfort zone just to b with me..n trust me..us din se mere dil me Aliya k liye sirf pyar hee nahi..respect b badhgai.

Nandini just smiles.

Muk: aur buri quality?

Ab: no its ok...ladies first.

Muk: ok..so Abhi's 1 good quality..
His true care n concern for others..be it as a mentor..or as a friend..or as Nandini's BB. He cares for everyone a lot.

Nan: wow..nice observation mukku. N 100% correct. Acha bad quality?

Muk: 1 bad quality...
(Looking into his eyes)
Jaan k bhi anjaan banjaana.

Everyone sits quitely..observing abhi n Mukti. Soon..Abhi speaks..

Ab: ok so my turn..
Mukti's one good quality..
Guarding her innocent heart with her fierce attitude. Jo ke is dunya me bohot important hai..n i really like tht.

Aliya coughs a little seeing Mukti blushing.

Ab: n 1 bad quality...
Bina poori baat jaane conclusion per pohochna.

Cab: wooh..thts something deep man.

Ab: ok so..next Cabir navya

Nav: iske baare me koi good qualities kaha se nikaale..inme to saari bad hee bad qualities hai.

Cab: arre Navya..ghabraao mat..is safar me hum dono saath hai.. jaise tumhe mushkil horahi hai good quality nikaal ne k liye..waise hee mujhe b museebato ka saamna kerna padh raha hai..tumhare baare me ek achaai sochne k liye.

Nan: guys plzz...seriously bolo.

Nav: cabiirrrrr...
Aur bad quality..kya hum 10 15 bol sakte hai?

Nan: Navuu

Nav: acha theek hai..

Cab: ehem..ok so..

Muk: Cabir plz..no leg pulling n seriously bata.

Cab: arre meri maa..bolne to de..waise sahi bad quality pakdi hai Abhi ne teri..bina poori baat sune hee....

Cab: acha acha..bol raha hu.
1 good quality is.. her trust on Nandini..i mean..friendship. har utaar chadaao me uske saath rehna..this is something very rare to find these days..n its really a beautiful quality.

Navya smiles n blushes slightly

Cab: 1 bad quality...hmmm..
Aksar dusro k judgement pe decision le leti hai..khudse nahi judge kerti.

Ok so..now the last couple..Manik n Nandini

Nan: hmm..(looking at Manik..who was looking at her)
1 good quality..his selfishness. His believe in only giving..phir chaahe wo uska pyaar ho..uski dosti ho..ya uski choti choti khushiya.

Manik just smiles but doesnt break the eye lock.

Nan: n 1 bad quality..
Suni sunaai baato pe bharosa kerna..apni dil ki baat ko dil me dabaake rakh ker..aadhe sach ko poora maan le na.

Dhr: wow Nandini..i mean..Manik ko itni deeply tumne itne jaldi samajliya..thts great.

Man: my turn?

Nandini nods her head.

Man: 1 good quality..
Her hope..hope in nothing n everything. Hope which is infectious..jo ek na ummeed ko b ummeed de de.

N 1 bad quality..
Her self control..jo ise kisi b feeling ko feel kerne se rokti hai. Her mind rules her heart..n tht..puts her in a fight against her own self.

Everyone was sitting quitely after such revelations.. Nandini was just looking into Manik's eyes..n he in return was looking into hers

Cab: tht was..intense.

This breaks the silence.

Al: yea..but hey..i enjoyed it.

Cab: ofcourse u enjoyed it Aliya..after all..tujhe khaane k baad free dessert b to mil gaya na..

Al: shut up cabir..

Muk: ok ok..lets change the pairs now.

The game continued till midnight..after which the girls called it a night as they were sleepy. All the girls decided to sleep in Nandini's room..n boys said they would look after their own affairs.

It was 3 a.m when Nandini was sitting alone at her favorite place..seeing out no where in particular..n thinking about all tht happened. The weather was pleasant..with cold breezes blowing every now n then. Suddenly she felt a shawl wrapped around her arms..which causes her to come out of her trance. Feeling a presence behind her..she says..

Nan: u ddnt sleep yet?

Voice: how do u get to know its me?

Nandini turns around n smiles on seeing Manik.

Man: club me b..without seeing me on the dance floor..u knew its me..just by my touch. N here too..u got it its me. How?

Nandini just shrugs her shoulders n turns back again..with her back now facing Manik.

Manik joins her on the couch on which she was sitting. (The couch which is in pic-Nandini's favorite place 2nd end)

Man: ek aur quality hai tumhari which i find amusing. But i ddnt want to tell it out there..

Nandini looks at him n raises her eyebrows.

Man: the way u look into my eyes..n read me clearly like an open book..i dnt feel the need to explain myself to u. I feel free like a bird with u.

This small confession brings a genuine smile on Nandini's face...it also brings tiny hinge of blush on her cheeks. .which makes her to drop her eyes down.

Man: tum kuch bologi nahi?

Nan: y ddnt u want to tell this out infront of our friends?

Man: coz i wanted it to be only between us. I wanted it to b special.

Nan: n how is this special?

Man: anything between u n me..a.a..ONLY between u n me..is very special Nandini.

Nandini smiles again n turns her head to other side.

Man: hmmm..so tum soyi kyu nahi?

Nan: neend nahi aarahi thi. BB b saath me tha..i told him if i m sleepy i will call him. But he wasnt ready to leave. Finally i had to give him my swear..he was very sleepy. But mujhe akele nahi chodna chahta.

Man: tumhe to koi b nahi chodna chahega Nandini.

Nandini doesnt say anything.

After a while..

Nan: y ddnt u sleep?

Man: well..same reason..neend nahi aarahi. Hey..hum dono ko neend nahi aarahi hai..lets play something.

Nan: play? What?

Mn: anything..emmm..like 20 questions?

Nan (getting excited): ok..but lets not play some mature game na..kuch light khelte hai..

Man: Nandini..be specific na k bacho ki game khelni hai.

Nandini glares at him: haan khelni hai..tou?

Man: to..tou kya? Khelte hai na..bolo kya khelna hai.

Nan (grinning): yes...lets play memory chain. Bohot mazaa aayega.

Man: ok ok..but at least samjhao to..

Nan (gawking at him): u dnt knw about memory chain?

Man: n..no..

Nan: koi na..i will explain..its very easy. See..i will say 1 word..then u have to repeat my word n add one word to it..doesnt matter if it makes sense..phir i have to repeat both my n ur words n add a third word..n so on..ok?

Man: oh..ok?

Nan: dnt wry..khelte khelte samaj jaaoge.. start kare?

Man: hmmm..start.

Nan : ok..so first word..Friends..

Man: hmm..friends..together

Nandini passes a smile to him

Nan: friends..together..forever..

Man: friends..together...forever. .and ever..

Nandini looks at him with wiggled eyebrows..
Friends..together..forever..and ever..and ever

Man:ok i m enjoying this..

Friends..together..forever..and ever..and ever..and ever.

Nan: Manik..

Man: yes...tum haar gayi..haar gayi..Manik to thaa hee nahi..yes...

Nan: haha..stop..Manik kya hai ye..for ever and ever..isse aage b to badho.

Man: haan to..tum b to badh sakti thi na..tumne hee to and ever add kiya..

Nan: haan kyunki tumne forever k baad and ever add kiya.

Man: haan to isliye tumne meri cheating ki.

Nan (grinding her teeth): mene koi copy nai kiya tumhe.

Man: acha theek hai..lets start again..n seriously..

Nan: hmmm..is baar u start.

Man: ok...emmm..food

Nan: seriously? Food? Tumhara kuch nai hosakta..aiwayi bhai ko bhukkad bolte ho.

Man: oh hello..dekho tum baar baar yu beech me tok nahi sakti..

Nan: acha ok...lets start..acha ek min..thand thodi zyada horahi hai..i will get a shawl for u.

Nandini gets up to go n get a shawl when Manik stops her by holding her wrist. She turns back to find Manik looking at her..

Man: mind sharing ur shawl with me?

Nandini gets flushed on hearing his request. She doesnt say anything..just sits back in her former position..n opens her shawl's one end and passes it to Manik. Manik takes the end n wraps it around him from behind.

Man: mind me coming closer to u? Ye shawl itni doori se humm dono ko cover nahi ker paayga.

Nandini just smiles n shifts a little closer. Seeing her shifting..Manik too shifts a little closer..till both r sitting side by side..their legs touching each other. This causes butterflies fluttering in both of their stomachs. It was a bit awkward for both of them
.yet they both wanted this. Manik now wraps one end of the shawl around him n looks at her

Man: Nandini..if u r not comfortable..we dont need to share it.

Nan(looks into his eyes): game shuru kare?

Manik smiles a big smile n nods..

Man: ok so my turn na..
Hmm..food.

Nandini giggles n shakes her head.

Nan: food..Manik

Man: food..Manik..big time

Nandini chuckles on hearing this. Slowly slowly..the little awkwardness tht was there between them was fading away.

Nan: food..Manik..big time..foodiee

Man: food..Manik..big time..foodie...yummmmyyyy..

Nandini laughs out loudly. Manik is happy on seeing her laughing freely.she was slowly slowly getting comfortable with Manik..

Nan (holding her laughs): food..Manik..big time..foodie..yummmy..kuch b

Man (looks at her with a warning glare): food..Manik..big time..foodie...yummy..kuch b...Nai

Nandini again chuckles..

Nan: food..Manik..big time..foodie..yummyy..kuch b..nai...haan..

They keep going on with the game.. where a point comes when Nandini glares Manik..

Nan: cheeh Manik..how can u say tht..

Man: arre..what how can i say tht..ab game continue karo.

Nan: no..u change the word..

Man: acha ji..so now i change my word..tumne kiya tha..jab wo tumne hawww (keeping a hand on his mouth enacting girls) bola tha..phir kitna has rahi thi tum mujhpe..so no..m not changing it..come on..its a natural thing..say it.

Nan: ufff..ok.
food..Manik..big time..foodie..yummyy..kuch b..nai..haan...Cabir..bhai..bhookad..hawww...sachi...gandi baat..sahi baat..galat baat...Cabir farts..sheeee..

Now Manik laughs out loud on seeing Nandini making such cute faces on saying fart.. they continue the game. Nandini was now feeling sleepy. She slowly slowly started leaning her back on Manik..n Manik..on seeing her getting sleepy..she too started leaning on the couch to make Nandini comfortable. N when it was Nandini's chance to continue..her eyes were already drowsy.. Manik wraps his arms around her n adjusts her more comfortably on him..

Man: sleep Nandini.. i will watch over u.

N as if this was what Nandini had been waiting for.. she releases a deep sigh n adjusts herself more comfortably on Manik..who was by now lying flat on the couch..with Nandini above Him..holding his shirt in her fist..n falling in a deep slumber..

Precap: love is in the air....for..???
