"No cabir..they are not coming...Harshad had called to tell that he have reached and have gone to his friends who are currently here and will come only by the evening so I came....After all he is coming after so long and alone.." neonika malhotra had slight tears thinking about harshad..." And guess what today all his favorite..."

"Not again maa...you know na what will happen if his favorites are cooked...manik..." before cabir could say more neonika cut him...

"Nothing will happen till I am here after all I am the boss...And manik ...where is that angry hulk...I don't know when will he stop getting angry?" 

"Says the one who finds his care in his every ounce of anger..." neonika smile sheepishly at this as it was true...his son is angry not without any reason...look deep u will get the care behind it..

"Yeah yeah...but where is he?"

"Don't know...got to know from some students that they had seen manik and nandini going out .TOGETHER..."

"Wait what...MR.MANIK MALHOTRA with a girl...finally I am happy that my son is not gay like u..."

"Mom not again..."

"Cabirrr...."

"If you bring the topic of me getting in a relationship again the I will call u mom only...And that between manik and me is bromance ma...not romance...I think that u will see soon...you know your beloved son and nandini..."

"So I think my cupid cabir is going to get in his work..."

"Not soon maa...till I confirm if she is the one for him.." 

"If you would not have been there what would that angry hulk do...But on a serious not cabir...I want u to bring someone to meet me so that I will be able to say my this son is also straight.."

"Not again mom..."

"Cabir ,one more time u say that and I am going to throw you out of the house..."

"Okay I won't but plz make something of my taste too...Let's tease manik.." cabir and neonika hi-fie at that....

"Okay maa I am going to pick mukti and alya from mall"

"Okay but where is dhruv..."

"Wo...we were going sometime back only but dhruv got a call so he went to attend that...It's going to be half an hour but it has not ended yet...I am going to check on him...after that I will go with him..."

Cabir left to call dhruv while neonika started to prepare for the night..

****************

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh..."

"What the hell are u doing in my room? And how dare u use my bathroom?" zubin shouted...while the man gave him are u serious look..

"Mr. Zubin if u remember then this house is mine too and for your kind information this is my room...your room is next to this one..."

"And when did that happen?"

"Some hours back as I came first so I got to choose this room"

But before they could bicker further they heard jeff...

"What happened Zubin...why did u shout?...And who...." before she could speak further her eyes landed on the person standing beside zubin who had a towel wrapped on his lower body and was looking at her with wide eyes....

Her gaze fell from his face to his naked torso and finally it came....

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh...."

"Okay stop it...I am the girl here...I should be shouting but why the hell are u shouting?" jeff asked being irritated seeing that boy who had now climbed the bed...

"What the hell is this dog doing here....Nandini told that she had sent it to someone then..."

"Guess what she had sent...but to your bad luck it was me..."

Same time sammy started to bark looking at the person and wanted to come out of Jeff's hold...Jeff could not hold more and let it go...sammy directly went to the bed and pounced on the man...

"Jeff take it away otherwise I will throw it..." the man tried to  shu away sammy but it was licking him and waving his tail only...Having enough finally he picked sammy...

"You child of a dog...why did u come into my life? Every time u come you lick me like there's no tomorrow....do I look like a bone to u...When u are around me I have to take shower for about 5 to 6 time a day ...gawd...What was that time when I brought u home..."

"My birthday if u remember...Now if your talk with sammy is over then wear some clothes..."

"Why should I were... are u feeling shy?" he smirked...

"Shy my foot...and if u remember I am your long lost girlfriend remember..." jeff smirked ..

"Yeah right girlfriend...but anyway if this LONG LOST girlfriend would not have been there then my family would have killed me this time for bringing those jokers home...How much happy maa sounded after listening only I am coming..."

"Really then instead of going home why the hell are u in my room?" zubin who was listening to all this bickering without saying anything finally spoke...

"You too continue ...I have a date ..so bye.."

"Wait what ...who the hell is that unlucky guy?" asked harshad...

"And also your brother is standing here only and u are saying you have a date..wow " zubin mocked at her while jeff glared at him...Harshad was enjoying the scene with sammy in his lap..

"Why should I have to tell you...and brother...same brother who didn't even care to call me once not on my birthday..not when..." but before she could complete harshad spoke...

"not when she went meet dad..not when nandini was not picking up her calls..." harshad said while looking at sammy while jeff glared at him..

"Jeff add some more to the list na...it has been so much time since u are repeating same..."

"Yeah make fun off me...I am leaving and I don't think I need to give explanation to you two and also...explanation will be there but you guys will give that to nandini as soon as she comes home...And dare you two call me spoil my date if nandini murthy throws you out of home sweet home....Now continue with your bickering...." before the duo could say something jeff left from there...

"Whenever she will come we will see at that time for now I will take shower u go to next room zubin and pls don't start again...And pls take this sammy with u ..." without hearing from zubin harshad handed over sammy to zubin and went inside bathroom..

Zubin kicked the door which was locked by harshad and started to talk to sammy while moving out..

"See sammy no one ,I mean it no one cares about me in this house ..only nandini was there but I don't now what will she do if she sees me ....I am so dead but nice thing is harshad would be there to accompany me....." zubin said and entered his room...he let go of sammy who ran to his small dog house present there in zubin's room...

Zubin went to take shower....Jeff after leaving the duo had gone out to open the door and there was malhotra's driver whom mukti had sent with dress when jeff gave the address as mukti and alya had more shopping to do so they could not come and cabir and dhruv will pick them up..

After getting ready jeff went out to attend her blind date which had many much in store for her...

*************

After reaching nandini's house nandini opened the house door and entered inside while manik followed her...as soon as he entered the words left his mouth...

"What the....." manik looked at the living room without blinking his...He never imagined it to be like this...

"Nandini ....where did you brought me?" manik asked while looking around and finally at her...

Nandini gave a sheepish smile but again rolled her eyes looking at how dramatic manik was making it...

"Manik...How many times do I need to tell you that this is my home...HOME...don't you understand that much..."

"Wow..really nandini murthy....but looking at this HOME...I am getting the feeling that it was closed for weeks or months.....everything here is covered with white cloth like one does while keeping the house closed for long...But again it is clean like just today it got cleaned"

"So genius malhotra..u found out..I though u wouldn't "

"Murthy care to explain everything..."

"Actually it's my house but I don't leave here...I leave with  jeff...We live in a separate house of our own including our friends...We all live there...For now just jeff and I live but whenever they come mumbai they too will join us there..."

"Then why did u brought me here?"

"Because Malhotra Mansion is far and this house is near...That house is also near then malhotra mansion ..but the clothes that will fit u are here only...so if your investigation is finished can we pls change...I will catch cold if I stay like this for some more time...." saying so without listening to him nandini made her way upstairs...

Having no option he too followed her...

"But nandini...how is it cleaned..."

"Because it gets cleaned everyday...I have appointed a maid who comes everyday and clean the whole house..."

"Oh...but why don't u live here..."

"Manik Malhotra I never knew u talk so much...gawd...spare me...Here you take this...this are the clothes...There is bathroom...I will use that in next room...get changed..." 

But before manik could ask further nandini went outside while manik stood there...Finally he looked around the room...It was small compared to his room but gave a homely feeling..

Letting go off the thoughts manik made his way towards the washroom...

**************

"Finally you guys are here...We were standing here since so long..." alya said when she saw cabir and dhruv parking the car in front of them...

"Hop in..." cabir said from the passenger's seat and mukti and alya took there seat in the back seat...

"So how was the shopping..." and before alya could state everything in detail mukti spoke ..

"Tiring...." alya rolled her eyes at this ...Cabir and dhruv could only laugh at them...

"So I have two news ..one good one bad...which u wanna hear first..."

"Bad news se start kar as I know bad news will be more interesting.."

"Bad news is harshad will be coming by evening and all his favorites are being cooked..manik does not know anything about it...." the trio looked at cabir as if they have seen some ghost while alya was the one to shout...

"Stop...." dhruv at once stopped the car...

"What happened alya? Are u fine..." dhruv asked getting worried while other too raised their eyebrows asking what...alya just shrugged it and spoke..

"This means we should take some popcorn, drinks with us..." alya said sheepishly...

"Alya u scared us...but don't worry I have already made them ready and yes cherry on top...there are something of our choice also except for manik..." cabir said and mukti hified with him...

"How much of a treat that will be to..." but before mukti could continue dhruv cut her...

"Don't talk about it now mukti..wait for the night to begin..." saying so dhruv again started the car...

"And what about the good news..." alya asked...

"Harshad is coming ALONE...." cabir said and mukti and alya didn't say anything...they were just processing what cabir spoke...but before girls could the car stopped abruptly ...As there was sudden break all were shocked and more shocked when dhruv shouted...

"Really cabir...wow..."saying so dhruv hugged cabir...

"Hayee...if I had known that you will hug me yourself then i will have given this news before only..."

"Yeah whatever...but harshad is coming alone means..."

"Means he is coming A.L.O.N.E..." mukti said this time seeing over dramatic dhruv...

"Alya..I must say you just spoiled my shy and silent dhruv..he became dramatic yaar..."mukti said with hurt face while cabir and mukti hi-five...Dhruv smacked cabir's head and alya did the same with mukti's arm..

"Okay if everything is finished then let's go maa must be waiting for us and we have to contact manik also don't know where he is?" 

all nodded their head and made their way towards MM...It was going to be a long night..

************

"Manik ...are u ready?" nandini asked after coming coming out of the room she used and standing before the room where manik was....while mink shouted from inside the room only..

"5 minutes"

"And they say girls take more time saying 5 minutes...But here from last fifteen minutes this is his fourth 5 minutes..." nandini muttered to herself but again after next five minutes too he didn't come out...

"Manik I am coming inside now.." finally nandini opened the door and saw manik and he was clicking some photos from an album.....

"Manik Malhotra..." nandini marched towards manik and grabbed the album while manik looked at her and started to laugh....

"Nandini...give na last one photo was left...she na u look so cute..haha...nandini.." manik tried taking the album from her but she didn't give him any chance...

"Manik delete those photos now...it's private yaar...you..." nandini tried to gt the phone but manik was quick enough to run from their...

"No way am I giving this to u...aww...u look so cute nandu...see na.." manik said while showing her childhood pics that too not any cute one but those photos which were clicked when she was annoyed..when she was crying...when she was looking like a joker...And all other embarrassing moments...

Sometimes in this unpredictable life these photos though of embarrassing moments give the needed happiness and comfort which no one can give...

This was her amms saying so she had captured all moments of nandini's childhood and given that album to nandini and made her realized that it is not something to be embarrassed about  rather it shows how u came up from every embarrassing situation and are standing her strong to face everything.

Till the date whenever anyone saw this album nandini didn't feel like anything..let them see what's there...But when she saw that album in manik's hand it just raise her anger...

Why? She was unknown to herself...Before she never cared what other think of her but she just didn't wanted herself to embarrass in front of him...Why? What was he to her that she wanted to make good impression...

Nandini decided to let go of all this thoughts and followed manik who had ran downstairs with her pictures in his mobile...

"Manaik Malhotra you are so dead..." nandini ran behind him...

"Manik delete those photos...you can't show that to anyone...manik..." and before she could fall as her leg tripped manik got hold of her hand pulled her towards him...

Her front collided with his front...He made her to open her eyes which were closed as a natural instinct of fear of fall...

"Who told u I will show them to anyone...these are just for me to tease u and no one else...Trust me I mean it..." they were close and looking directly in each others eyes...Both were lost ...

His hands slowly went to her waist and his hold tightened...They were looking at each other...Time stood still...They didn't feel anything ...they were lost in each other's presence..No pondering was there in their mind...The rhythm of their heartbeat was matching ...they were at peace maybe...

" I like angry nandini...how your this little nose turns red in anger...how your cheeks look more chubby and u look so cute that I feel like to gobble u up"

They were still lost in each other and manik spoke those words as his mind was not in sense...So the phone rang to broke their this cute session....

 Manik let go off her and nandini saw her phone ringing with cabir's name...

"Why is cabir calling me?" nandini asked looking at manik while manik just then checked his phone and saw about 20 missed called from Fab4...

"Don't pick up...i didn't pick up so he might be calling u...let it ring ...i will call him.." manik said getting nervous...

"Why should I not pick up? I will surely pick it up.."

"Nandini ,u will regret it..." but nandini gave I don't care look and picked up the call...

"Nandini, Is manik with u?" cabir asked as soon as she picked up the call...

"Hello to you to cabir..." nandini mocked him while cabir smiled sheepishly...

"Sorry...hello nandini" 

"And yes manik is with me.."

"Wow..so if your small date..."

"Hold on...where did this date come from..." nandini asked over phone but raised her eyebrows at manik while manik was left dumb folded..what was cabir even saying..So he took the phone from her hands and kept it in speaker...

"Don't tell me you guys decided to get married directly..."

"Why only marriage cabir..i was going to kiss her but your call disturbed us..." manik's voice was latched with so much anger that cabir was scared so just asking manik to come fast he cut the call...

Manik looked at nandini but she avoided any eye contact with him...she was embarrassed would be a small word...

Looking at nandini manik didn't understood why she was behaving like that but the realization struck about what he told cabir and in which situation they were in before cabir called...

He too was embarrassed now and anger just subsided somewhere...

"let's go..." saying so manik hurriedly left from there while nandini too composed herself and after closing the door went and sat in the passenger's seat while manik was already in driver's seat....He started the engine and they came out of Murthy house...

After about 25 minutes of journey nandini asked manik to stop the car....Manik there is my house where I live...Nandini showed him a mansion in which the name plate stated JAHAN...

He just nodded ...Finally both came out of the awkward situation...for those 25 minutes neither they looked at each other nor did they speak anything..After spending such a beautiful time together they were in awkward zone....

Nandini got down and waved at him while manik too waved at her and immediately left from their to avoid further embarrassment...

*************

"Hey, where are you? I have been waiting for u since 5 minutes" jeff messaged someone while the person replied...

"Just in front of u..." and just as jeff looked up from her mobile the person squealed at her but she was shocked would be and understatement...

"You are a girl...Did I really come on a blind date to meet a girl..."

jeff said while the girl was took excited to listen to her...
