The next day...

Amms woke nandu up who sat on the bed gorggily... she didnt know why... but, there was something very weird... she blinked her eyes twice and greeted amms with a hug...

she then proceeded to her room to get changed not before pulling navya's sheets who sat up with a big pout... she cannot sleep without sheets... poor her...

Navya: Nandu! She shouted while only the laugh was heard of the latter... amms was smiling ear to ear seeing them behaving like kids...

Amms: accha navya beta... aaj tumhe mera ek kaam karna ho ga... par pehle jaa ke fresh ho jao... she said while navya nodded her head and went to freshup...

................................................................................................................................................................................................

Nandu came down wearing her tracksuit... she looked at the day... it was friday... there was no excerise for the house today... she nodded as she remainded herself to make sure they excerise tomorrow...

Nandu jogged to the gym where she started her routine...

She soon completed 60 push ups and 50 squats... her daily quota...

She sat near the window of the gym as she wiped her sweat which trickled down her neck with the white towel...

She suddenly smirked...

*Today is going to be.... fun...*

She thought smiling... her thoughts were interuppted by a phone call...

It was her mom...

Phone convo...

Ishi: arre nandu, jaldi aa... tumse ek jaroori baat karni hai... she said while nandu hummed at her rolling her eyes as her mother always had something important to say... she started searching for her water bottle feeling thirsty...

Ishi: nandu, ye serious hai... come fast... amms-

the call was cut... ishi spoke in a very serious tone making nandu frown... nandu who couldnt even utter a word, left the bottle there it self without drinking... she ran towards her home instead of her usual jogging...

She reached her home in 15 minutes when she usually takes 30 minutes... she caught the door to balance herself...

Nandini breathed heavily as she looked around searching for her mother...

Nandu: amma, kya huva... amms teek hai... she asked looking worried...

Ishi: nandu, tumhe bhaag ke aane ki jaroorat kya thi... aur kuch nahi huva... mujhe tumse ek baat karni thi... she scolded nandu who watched her in disbelief...

Nandu: my dearest mom... please mujhe aise heart attacks mat do... aur aap ne amms ka naam kyun liya... she said taking deep breaths to calm herself down...

Ishi: *sheepishly* wo, amma plates laga rahi thi... me ne unhe mana kiye tha... isliye me ne unhe buliya aur tumhara call galati se cut ho gaya... she said while nandu held her heart...

* ayiappa, aaj ke liye itna drama kafi hai... or my heart cannot handle it...*

She thought as she informed her mom that she would first fresh up and then talk...

............................................................................................................................................
....................................

Nandu came down wearing a white top with her sleeves folded until her elbows along with a black pant and a small gucci peach hand bag...

She went near the dining area and sat between rishu and her appa... she ruffled rishabs hair saying good morning while he kissed her cheek in return... she then kissed her fathers cheek saying good morning appa...

Raman: good morning my princess... neend acchi tara se puri huvi... he asked while nandu nodded her head with a big smile...

Navya came from outside after ending her call and sat beside ishita...

Navya: nandu, baby... we have a hectic schedule later on... i just received it from addy... you took another group of people again... clearly i said not to... you know what, you never listen to me... you already have so many things in your hand then why do you have to take them too... she scolded while Nandu was trying her best to make navya shut... since she was sitting away from her she couldnt do a thing... listening to all these 5 peoples gazes fell on her simultaneously...

Amms: Nandu!

Ishi: Nandini murthy!

Raman: Princess!

DJ: you Brat!

Rishu: Di!

Together: No more extra WORK! they shouted together while nandu tried her best to appear as small as she could...

Nandu glared navya who in turn grinned at her...

*man, aaj kya mera unlucky day hai... kuch na kuch ho raha hai...*

She thought as she pouted at them... they were interuppted by a phone call... without even seeing who it is nandu lifted the call...

Phone convo...

Sid: hel-

Nandu: yeah i am coming...

Nandu: oh really, then i must not keep my guests waiting...

Nandu: yes, i am leaving right now...

Nandu: alright bye... she said cutting the call...

Sid: lo... he completed his word as he looked at his phone in disbelief...

*did i call to the correct number...*

He thought while scratching his head but shrugged off before heading near his group... he got her number yesterday... how? Well he had his ways... not really he just asked, no sorry threatened addy to give her number...

End...

Nandu: mujhe office jaana ho ga... kuch important people aaye huve hai... time ho raha hai... she said as she stood up while they all sighed in disbelief...

Amms: this is not over... she said while nandu nodded her head before giving them a sheepish smile... she ran quickly towards the door...

Navya who was toosing the sandwich into her mouth stood up hurriedly... she gulped the food down slowly and drank the juice there before running towards nandu...

They both sat in the car and drive off to musical styles...

...........................................................................................................................................
....................................

As soon as nandu arrived she asked navya to see if the monkey gang arrived or not...

Navya shook her head indicating a no... nandu nodded her head while she soon buried herself in work...

She was talking to navya about some fashion project when they were distracted by a phone call...

Nandu frowned seeing the same unknown number from morning... she gestured navya to stand by...

Phone convo...

Sid: hello, am i speaking to ms. Nandini... he asked while she just hummed in agreement...

Sid: i dont have any guests over here nor are they waiting for you... he said while nandus frown deepened...

Sid: umm, you said it this morning... he said while nandu who recalled the incident where she picked up the phone of some unknown caller, laughed slightly...

Listening to her laugh a smile automatically appeared on sid's face...

Sid: well, lools like something funny happened... care to share... he asked raising his brow while nandu rolled her eyes...

Nandu: i had my reasons... well, how did you get my number... she asked getting to the main point... sid rolled his eyes...

Sid: i asked your PA... he said nonchalantly while nandu narrowed her eyes a little before noting in her mind to deal with addy...

Sid: i called to inform you that we will come from tomorrow... we have some complications here... i hope you understand... he said and for the first time nandu felt he was serious...

Nandu: alright then... she nodded her head while navya who was clueless looked at her in confusion...

Nandu cut the call after bidding him bye...

Nandu: it seems, i have to post pone my revenge... she said looking sad...

*today is really bad for me...*

She thought as she couldnt even get her much wanted revenge...

Sulking a little she went back to her work mode...

...........................................................................................................................................
....................................

In the afternoon, nandu went out with navya to eat... she came back to her cabin...

She walked towards her table and opened the file above it...

Her back was facing the door... suddenly some one closed her eyes from the back...

Voice: guess, who i am... he said...

His voice was over lapping with the voice of another person in her memory... Exactly same...

She started breathing heavily as she got flashes of memories of them in her mind... the way he used to tease her...

Manik felt her abnormal behaviour...

Manik turned her around by her shoulders and shook her a little...

Manik: nandini, nandini... he shouted anxiously... nandu closed her eyes tightly before breathing in and out...

A few minutes later...

Manik: i am really sorry, i didnt mean it... i didnt know... he tried to explain himself while cursing himself for doing something so stupid...

*heart: you idiot, look how you scared her...

Manik: i didnt know... i really didnt...

Heart: apologize to her...*

Nandu: no, its ok... i am fine... she said while manik still held her shoulders...

He brought her near to the sofa and made her sit... he then looked at her while kneeling down on one knee in front of her... then gave her the glass of water on the table...

Nandu: manik, i really am ok... she said for the nth time while manik ignored her words for the nth time... nandu pouted slightly seeing him ignore her... he looked at her eyes to see any signs of dizziness...

Nandu: why are you here... she questioned him while he sat beside her...

Manik: well, mom said to decide when to keep the wedding... he said while nandu widened her eyes at him...

Nandu: what... really... she said while manik noddes his head...

Manik: didnt aunty say anything... he asked while nandu nodded her head in a no before slightly hitting her fore head...

Nandu: she was about to tell me, but we were occupied with something else... she said while he just nodded his head at her...

Manik: so, when do we keep our roka... he said while nandu raised her brow at him...

*offo, manik kya kar raha hai... why are you behaving so desperate...*

He thought before rubbing his fore head... he unintentionally appeared desperate...

Nandu: ummm, well... we can decide when they tell us the dates... she said while he nodded his head at her...

Manik: you really are ok right... he asked again while nandu sighed...

Nandu: offo manik... you are such a worrywart... people will think you love me... she said while manik rolled his eyes...

Manik: actually, if i may... he asked her permission who raised her brow before nodding her head...

Manik: honestly, i dont care what others say... i have a very clear conscience... and i dont also think love is something that starts with a look or the first meet... and i absolutely dont think i can ever love someone... and i am marrying you, yes... i like you, yes... but i definitely dont love you...

You may curse me... but its the truth... and i like you as a friend... hence i dont think its possible... i will care for you, treat you as a friend... but more than that i will just leave it to our destiny... so, friends... he said while nandu nodded her head with a little smile... his honesty was very clear in his voice...

(Bechara manik, though the speech is very nice... he is definitely gonna regret it in the future...)

He extended his hand towards her who looked at it...

She never liked to touch people... or you can say against to skinship...

But even she was amazed when she herself extended her hand towards his...

Their hands met... nither electricity nor butterflies... but a harmonious feeling came over them...

*looks like this marriage isnt that bad...*

Was the only thought that was running in their minds...

...........................................................................................................................................
....................................

In the evening, After manik went away, navya came inside with a smug smile... she teasingly raised her brow at her...

Navya: what is happening ms. Soon to be Malhotra... she said joking while nandu rolled her eyes...

Nandu: shut up navu... he came here to decide on the wedding dates... she said while trying to busy herself in work...

Navya: oho... really... maybe he missed you... maybe he liked you...

I couldnt save you maybe he can... i couldnt heal you, maybe he can... she said subconsciously... realizing what she blurted out navya looked at nandu to see her looking back at her with a sad smile...

Nandu: navya, if there is one thing that i learned from them is not to keep any expectations...

Because expectations bring attachment... and unhealthy attachment leads to misery... maybe i had expected too much from them... but thanks to that i learned such a valuable lesson...

she said while standing up and going near the window... looking at the sun which was going to set... she then looked at navya to see her giving her a defeated look...

Nandu: you guys are really important to me... if not for you, i wouldn't be here now seeing this beautiful sky along with a kind and beautiful girl... she said while navya chuckled a little and hugged her tightly...

Navya: you are the kindest person i have ever met... and the most beautiful too my baby... she said while nandu coughed a little in disbelief...

Nandu: common, stop being senti... she said hitting her head who glared at her...

Navya: baby! Dont hit my head... she shouted in her italian accent which made nandu laugh... she draped her hand over navya's shoulder as they both grinned at each other...

They both went out on a little date in a restaurant before going home... this was how these two crazy-for-eachother best friends are... they are unseparable... they both never speak anything good about them as they think the other will grow two heads if she heard... but when they do, they sincerely mean it...

Not everyone is lucky to have such friends... and people who have are the luckiest...

They both happily arrived home unknown to them that some thing was waiting in their home... more specifically a storm...
