Malhotra mansion... secret room... afternoon...

Manan were hugging each other and sleeping so peacefully... as they stayed up all night partying or to be specific gambling, they were still sleeping even though it's afternoon... (Well I agree with it... cause I do that... He he... not the gambling thing of course... sleeping till afternoon... who agrees with me...🙋‍♀️)

Nandu was the first one to get up... she opened her eyes slowly and was about to get up when she felt something heavy on her waist... soon she was pulled back by the same hand... now she was practically lying on Manik not completely through while he was snuggling in her neck... he slowly mumbled...

Manik: dreamy sone do na... he said breathing her scent while nandu broke into a wide smile listening to that... she supported herself by keeping her elbow on the pillow and faced Manik... she lightly caressed his hair and pecked his lips lazily...

Nandu: can't sleep without me ha... she said smirking slightly while he groaned as he found her again trying to get up... he tightened his grip around her...

Manik: you are seriously becoming a habit now... and good morning... he said...

Nandu: mani... common it's not that bad... and it's not morning anymore for your information... and i need to fresh up maniiiii.... let me goo.... she said pouting her lips while he finally let her go saying fine... she quickly went into the bathroom to fresh up... while he checked if he had any message or not... yup as expected... cabir, mukthi, and Dhruv... he scrolled down to see there was one more message...

Manik: oh shit... Godzilla... he said before rushing into the guest room's washroom...
......................................................................................................................................................................

As Manik walked out of the room, he got a call... it was cabir...

Phone convo...

Cabir: hey boss... aap ko humari yaad kaise aayi... saale kitne messages aur calls kiya maine but no reply... he said sarcastically... while Manik rolled his eyes thinking aaj kal cabir navya ki tara ban ne laga hai... drama queen...

Manik: shut up cabir.... accha batao any news... aur AR kaise hai... he asked changing the topic...

Cabir: yes there is... Doc said AR is fine... he can join the gang tomorrow it self... there is a lot of work pending..... being the head of intellect depart is sure tough for AR... he said pitying the poor boy... while manik just rolled his eyes and smirked evilly...

manik: you wanna take his place then... he said while cabir instantly said nope... thinking * abbe saale cabir kisi aur ko sympathy dene ke pehle kud ke bare me bhi soch le ek baar... aur ye manik tho monster hai kisse chance ko bhi nahi chood tha...* his thoughts were interrupted by of course manik...

manik: finished your cursing... now anything else... he said glancing his watch and waiting for nandu...

cabir: um-mm... i think i got a clue about the person behind the elimination of red spider gang... i still don't know precisely... but... he was about say something when manik cut him...

manik: cabir who. is. it.... he said emphasizing the words... while cabir sighed and was about to speak when....

voice: CABIR JIIII.... someone shouted so loudly that even manik heard it through the phone...

manik/cabir: madhubala... they said at a time...

navya: ye rose pose kaun hai... sab ke saamne aap ko boyfriend bula rahi hai... she shouted...

cabir: manik i will talk to you later... ok bye... he said and cut the call...

manik: arre cabir... who is ro.... idiot... he muttered seeing that cabir had already cut the call... he looked up to see nandu coming down hurriedly... as if noticing his gaze on her she gave him an apologetic smile... while manik was just looking at her in a little daze... nandu was now in front of him waving her hand in front of him...

manik: beautiful... he said smiling at her while listening this nandu smirked...

nandu: born with it... she said checking him out while manik shook his head in disbelief... he pulled her towards himself and caressed her cheeks... to which nandu smiled... she leaned towards him...

nandu: hmm... mani as much as i don't want to leave you... we are gonna be late... don't wanna be eaten by Godzilla right... she said smirking seeing his red cheeks thinking... *off aiyyappa iss ladka ka mein kya karu... sooo cuteee.... *

while manik nodded and left hurriedly to his car to hide his blush... nandu was about to go after him when *ping.... there was a notification... from........ navya....

navya....

call me....

end........

seeing this nandu frowned a little... but called her anyway... ending the call she had a dark expression on her face... which she immediately discarded and went towards manik... who was leaning on his car and texting someone...

manik: what took you so long... he asked raising his brow sensing her... while nandu gestured her phone saying there was a call... to which manik nodded and made his way into the car... while nandu too joined him... they both drove away to space.......................

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

meanwhile in space.... in canteen...

cabir: madhubala suno... she is my girlfriend... and tumhari problem kya hai... he said to navya who was sitting opposite to him and glaring him for a reason which he never understood or more specifically didn't want to... soon a girl came and back hugged cabir... then sat in the empty chair beside cabir...

girl: cabirrrrr.... my baby... i missed you so much... and who is she baby... she said looking at him and then glanced at navya...

cabir: common rose we just met... and stop babying me... and navya stop glaring at me as if maine kuch galat kar diya... he said being irritated a little by navya's  anger and now on the top of it rose just had to come on the right time... while navya snorted...

navya: cabir ji aap aise kaise kar sakthe ho.... you don't know why i am behaving like this... and you know what, this is it... i am going from here... she said standing up and ran out of the canteen... unconsciously cabir stood up to follow her but was stopped by rose who else... he glared at her...

cabir: maine acting kar ne ko Kaha tha over acting Nahi... he said glaring her when he heard mukthi calling him...

mukthi: hey cabir... what'cha doin'.... she said while cabir rolled his eyes...

cabir: offo mukku tu ne Phir se Phineas and ferb dekna shuru kiya... he said while mukthi showed him her tongue... they all settled down at the table soon Dhruv and aliya too came...

cabir: so guys i would like to introduce someone to you... she is my girl friend... rose... and rose they are my friends... he said and introduced them to her... while FAB4 was like what the hell is happening here...

manik/ mukthi/ dhruv/ aliya: your what!!!!!! they said in union...

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

outside space... manik and nandu just reached and were walking hand in hand of course initiated by nandu when someone bumped into her... she looked up to see navya... her eyes were a little red... nandu frowned and held her before she fell...

navya: nan.... nandu............................ she said and started wailing loudly in her hug... manik looked at them awkwardly...

manik: ok i am going in... call me if you need my help... he said while nandu just nodded with a slight smile......

manik went into the canteen straightly when he heard cabir speak... his blood boiled listening him introduce someone else as his girlfriend... he now understood why navya was crying... though he was not that close with navya he was close with cabir... he knew what he was feeling... no matter how hard he wishes to deny it... he pulled cabir with him saying he needs to talk to him before anyone could say anything...

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

near navni...

nandu: what happened navu... she said caressing her hair trying to calm her down... after calming down a little she told her the entire story... nandu was frowning the entire time...

navya: why nandu... why does this happen to me ha... he was already suspicious of me since that incident... she said while nandu rubbed her tears and consoled her...

nandu: do you want me to handle this... she said but navya shook her head...

navya: no... i want to see how long he can run from me... i know he too loves me but is trying to hide it... she said with determination while nandu shook her head at the love-driven girl... when she thought * inner voice: you shouldn't say that nandu...*

nandu: i am here for you always remember that... she said and they both talked for some time... and soon went in...

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

manik and cabir were walking towards the entrance of space... there were many decorations as yesterday was the new year... Manik was silent while cabir was worried about what was running in his mind... nandu and navya were also in the same corridor... they were walking towards the canteen... Manik was about to talk when someone pushed him from the back... he tried to hold something to balance ... nandu caught his hand and balanced him... she let out a sigh of relief seeing him safe as he was about to catch some sharp object... his hand could have got injured by it... her expression darkened thinking this when they heard a voice...

person: shit man... that was a full proof plan but tumhari girlfriend ne sab bigaad diya... he said walking up to them...

manik: harshad.... tu thak nahi jaa tha... always loosing to me... tch... he said while looking at him with a frown... harshad was about to say something when he saw something that made him smirk...

harshad: oh is that blood... he said smirking... while Manik looked around to see nandu's hand bleeding a little near her elbow... his eyes showed concern and panic...

manik: dreamy is it paining... he asked taking her hand into his... his hands were shaking slightly... nandu smiled reassuringly... while manik dragged her to the sick room... leaving cabir, navya and harshad behind...

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

in the sick room...

manik: is it paining baby... he said slowly cleaning her wound while nandu was just smiling at him as she really couldn't feel that much pain...

nandu: i am fine mani... this is not necessary... she said only to be glared by him... nandu pouted as he was not talking to her...

nandu: common mani... talk to me pleaseeeee.... for meee... she said pouting while manik just sighed wrapping the wound... he held her hands in his...

manik: dreamy i really hate to see your hurt... especially if its because of me... it pains to see you... i should be the one to protect you... he said lowering his eyes...

nandu: offo aiyappa isse ladka ka main kya karuuu.... she said dramatically... making manik smile a little...

nandu: mani I loveeee you..... bohot saara.... and I will do anything for you... she said kissing his cheeks... while he shook his head...

nandu: maniiii... my loveeee.... no being sad sad... she tried to say cutely by blinking her eyes and pouting... while Manik finally laughed at her alien pose of being cute... seeing his smile was worth it even if it was on her expense... she silently made a note to check on that harshad...
