Fab5's Studio
Mumbai

Fab5's Cabin
Nandini was sitting on the couch looking at the surroundings. She then got up and explored the cabin. One of the wall was filled with Fab5's pictures including their childhood pictures.

Fab5's Cabin

Wall some what like this.

She stood there seeing each and every picture curiously. That's when Fab5 entered. The sudden opening of door made her jump at her place.

Nandini- you guys scared me.

Manik- sorry did not mean to.(He came to her and pecked her forehead). Vese you look beautiful (he winked at her).

Nandini- thank you.

She replied with a blushy smile and they heard the others hooting.

Mukti- kya baat hai bhai.... getting all cozy types haa (she passed him a teasing look).

Manik- haa toh??? Mere hoone vaali biwi hai, pyaar krta hu usse toh jo chahe kru... tujhe kya...

He spoke in a duhh... tone and sat on his chair.

Cabir- arre kmsekm usse ke toh prvah kr jo sharam se PaNi PaNi huay jaarae hai....

He eyed Nandini. Manik got up from his chair and went to her. Till the time everyone was sitting and we're ready to enjoy the show. He pulled her holding her hand and made her sit on his chair.

Nandini- Manik... yeh... I can't sit here.

She tried to get up but he again made her sit holding her shoulders.

Manik- shhh relax,sit....

Dhruv- arre Nandini bethjao. The staff should see unke boss ke boss aae hai.

With his statement eveyone laughed and Nandini looked down.

Alya- awww... guys bs kro abhi. Look at her face. Stop teasing them now.

Cabir- bhai (referring to Manik and Dhruv) Riya ko bulakr kehdo Conference ready krvae. Hearing this buzz i think the media is here. Aur haa coffee bhe mangva lena.

(Riya is Fab5's manager. A sweet, and kind hearted girl).

Nandini- mujhe office dekhna hai....

Mukti- okk so after the interview we'll give you a tour to our office.

In the meantime Riya bought coffee for everyone. Riya saw Manik was standing and no chair was vacant so she spoke

Riya- Sir may i get you a chair???

Manik- no thank you Riya. I don't feel like sitting. I have a seat already.

She nodded and left. But Nandini frowned on hearing Riya's word.

Nandini- Manik aap beth jaea.

Manik- okk wait we both will sit.

She gave him a confusing look and got up. He sat on his chair and pulled Nandini. As a result she landed on his lap. She tried to get up but his hold was strong enough to let her go.

Nandini- Manik leave me. Kya krrae hai aap. Sb hai yaha pe chodia mujhe (she spoke wiggling out of his hold).

Cabir- arre Nandini stop struggling. Yeh tumhara majnu nae chodega tumhe.

She blushed and sat quitely and the others laughed seeing her. Mukti, Alya and Nandini we're talking on some topics and Nandini was time to time jumping in Manik's hold. He secretly held her waist which made her concious. He then whispered in her ear

Manik- Nandini stop moving. You are not helping me.

First Nandini did not get what was he saying. As soon as her mind registered his words, she widened her eyes and sat still. There was a knock on the door. Riya entered and informed them that media was there and that they we're waiting for Fab5.

Alya- come girls let's just check ourselves once.

The girls nodded and left with Alya. The boys too thought of freshening up. After 15mins girls came out with slight touch up.

Fab5's outfits

Manik- soo all ready??? (Everyone nodded) let's get going then.

He noticed Nandini fidgeting with her fingers. Everyone followed his gaze and noticed a nervous Nandini standing there. Manik went to her and taking her hands in his made her sit on the couch. Fab4 went out to give the couple some privacy. He sat on his knees and spoke

Manik- kya hua kitten??? Why nervous??

Nandini- Manik kuch gadbad toh nae hoga na?? What if i mess up everything. I'm really very afraid. You know na media people... how they are.. a little mistake and they'll create a fuzz outof it.

Manik- here have this first...(he passed her the glass of water). Now breathe in and breathe out(she did as he asked her to). Now listen to me. Just be the way you are. You don't need to act in front of them okk. I won't say that they'll not ask you any question or will not pin point you. Buy before you start questioning yourself just remember I love you for the way you are. Koe tumhare baare mein kya kehta hai i never cared and i never will. I love you for the heart you have not for your looks so don't let their talks affect you. If you still feel uncomfortable we'll end the conference there. Nothing is important to me than you okk....

Nandini- thank you so much Manik.  I needed this. I love you so much.

Saying his she pounced on him. He laughed at her craziness and engulfed her in his arms.

Manik- so chale abhi???

Nandini nodded and both left to the conference room. Here Fab4 we're distracting the media with thier talks. As soon as Cabir saw they he spoke dramatically

Cabir- soo here is the star couple.

The reporters got up and started clicking their pictures. Manik had his one hand around hee waist. They came and sat beside their friends.

Cabir- you may ask your questions now.

One of the reporter got up and asked

Reporter1- first of all congratulations Sir, Mam.for your engagement. I have a question to you sir. Why we're you late when all your friends we're here before.

Before Manik could speak, Cabir spoke

Cabir- i would love to answer on his behalf. Kya question tha yrr yeh... New couple hai need some time together so bs.

On his statement Nandini blushed and the others chuckled.

Manik- i hope you don't wanna die so soon Cabir.

He acted like zipping his mouth.

Reporter2- sir i have a question to all of you. How do you find Nandini Mam as a person??

Dhruv- she's a sweetheart. The sweetest and kindest women i have met till date.

Alya- kind and caring. She spreads love all around. She will always think about others first. I suppose she is the last person in her priority list.

Cabir- best cook. Well!!! We share so many relation. She is my 'saali' i mean Navya's best friend, sister, bhabi and best friend.

Mukti- i see an elder sister in her. She has a way out for every problem. I would recommend you something. If you ever face any problem come to her. She can be the best advisor to you.

Manik- i guess i don't need to say anything.

Reporter3- Nandini Mam i have a question for you. What are your opinions about Manik sir??

Manik held her hand under the table and pressed it assuring her.

Nandini- he is the best person you can have as your partner. He is a defination of perfection. To be honest I'm really careless.an stubborn. He handles me like my mother used to. At times he is strict with me but that is his way of showing loves and i love him alot.

She answered smilingly and nobody missed that spark and charm in her voice.

Reporter4- Sir, Mam when are you planning to tie a knot??

Manik- we'll inform you about it soon. Pehle humme pta chal jae phir aapko bhe bta denge.

Everyone chuckled on his statement.

Reporter5- mam how do you feel being the fiancee of Rockstar Manik Malhotra, the most successful and youngest business tycoon.

Nandini- honestly. These things don't matter in personal life. With his family, with me he is just Manik. He is a normal person not the rough and tough bussiness man you see in meetings or your rockstar you guys love. To love a person, his heart should matter to you. These qualifications, name and fame are for the world.

Manik felt proud of his lady love. He squeezed her under and she turned to him and smiled.

Reporter2- a last question for Cabir sir. Sir when are we gonna hear your little one's cry.

Cabir- well!!! We'll soon. I too am eagerly waiting for that day and believe me the most excited soul among us is Nandini. She's the one who takes care of Navya the most.

Dhruv- i guess we should end here what's say guys???

Manik- sure. So thank you guys for giving us your pretty time. See you soon.

Fab5 and Nandini got up and left. They entered the cabin and Riya got them water.

Mukti- bhabi chalo we'll give you a tour to our office.

The girls got up and left while the boys insisted to stay back.

Cabir- Manik mujhe kuch important baat krne hai that's why i sent the girls alone.

Manik- haa bol..

Cabir- Manik now that people know Nandini is your finacee. We need to take care of her protection.

Dhruv- i second you Cabir. Buddy our rivals may try to harm her. Humare baato se anyone can guess how important she is to us and they may point her as our weekness.

Manik- you don't need to worry guys. Two bodygaurds always follow her secretly. Humesha uske sath rehte hai but she is unaware of it. You know ladies of our family don't like to be surrounded by gaurds so they follow them secretly.

Dhruv- baaki sb ka toh we know pr Nandini ka nae pta tha.

Manik- you know her craziness. She does not think twice helping a person not caring about his or her intentions so the day we came back i appointed guards without her knowledge.

Their talks we're interrupted by girls who entered the cabin. They saw their seriuos faces and asked

Mukti- Kya hua?? Why so serious???

Nandini- koe tension vaali baat hai Kya???

Manik- nothing we we're just talking about business. Leave this tell me how was the office.

Nandini- i loved it.

Dhruv- chalo great.

Nandini- mujhe na kuch puchna hai??

Cabir- shoot..

Nandini- you know when i entered the studio, the receptionist....she did not recognize me. She asked for my name and some how she understood I'm Manik's fiancee. She sounded scared and was sorry too. In a nut shell i want to ask why was she so afraid. Mtlb usne bs mujhe pehchana he toh nae tha toh why being so sorry.

Fab4 started laughing while Nandini gave them a confused look. She then looked at Manik who was making  annoying faces.

Manik- okk enough... stop laughing on expenses.

Mukti- bhabi mein btati hu. Vo na actually ek baar mom aae thi studio mein. That time na the receptionist was new. She did not know ke vo mom hai hamare toh unho ne mom ko milne se mnah krdiya and uss time pe we we're in a meeting. Luckily mom was about to go when we came out. Jb bhai ko poori baat ka pta chala toh bichare ke bohot burre tarike se class lgi. On mom's insistance, bhai ne usse nikala nae. I think aaj bhe vhi hua that's why she was afraid.

Nandini made an 'ohh' face.

Cabir- acha guys mein chalta hu. Navya has appointment and i need to accompany her. See you later.

Bidding bye he left.

Nandini- mujhe bhe jana hai hospital.

Manik- come I'll drop you. Vese bhe i was leaving for Malhotra industries.

Alya- yea!!! Me and Mukti are too leaving for MUKALYA.

Dhruv- chalo thiik hai. I'll look at the paper work here. Phir mein bhe academy chala jaunga.

Manik dropped Nandini to the hospital and left to Malhotra Industries. The day ended on a happy note.

Next day as promised the ladies went for Karwa-chauth shopping. They came back in the evening. Having some chit-chat they left to their respective homes except Nandini who was staying in Malhotra mansion.

Nandini and Neyonika we're in the kitchen when Anurag and Manik entered having a heated conversation. The ladies heard their voice and came out and saw the duo debating on something.

Nandini- neyoma yeh dono bacho ke tarah kyu jhagar rae hai???

Neyonika- hua hoga kuch. Yeh koe nae baat thodi hai. Thodi deer baad dekhna they'll behave as if kuch hua he nae hai.

Nandini- aapko nae lgta inhe rokhna chaea. Agar argument badhgae toh.

Neyonika- acha thiik hai chl...

They went to them and Neyonika intrupted their bickering session.

Neyonika- aap dono bs bhe kro ab. Why are you both fighting??? Anurag aap toh baade hai. Aap bhe bacho ke tarah jhagra krrae hai.

Harsh- arre bhai kyu itna shoor machaya hua hai???

He asked coming down with Mukti.

Manik- dadu see dad maan nae rae hai. The deal we had signed, it states that i have to go to Dubai for 2 weeks aur dad mnah krrae hai. Mein pehle bhe toh jaata tha ab kya problem hai. Pr see he says he is the boss so i have to follow his order.

Anurag- Manik pehle ke baat aur thi. You we're single at that time. Aur you are newly engaged spent some time with your mate. Yeh time baar baar nae aata. Rahi baat deal ke toh I'll go yaa Veer ko bhejdenge. You we're not listening to me so meine boss vaali baat boli.

Manik- dad RV... seriously. You know vo abhi abhi vapis aaya hai aur phir se apne shoots mein busy hai. And you old man, what about your health issues???

Anurag- ooe.... budha nae hu mein smjha. Khabar daar agar dubara mujhe budha kaha toh?? Bara aaya health vaala.

Manik- dad stop changing the topic smjhe aap. Mein bhe jaanta hu aur aap bhe ke you can travel such long distances. It's final I'm going.

Nandini- emmm.... mein kuch bolu if you don't mind.

Anurag- beta mind vaali kya baat hai. Tu iss family ka hissa hai you don't need to ask. Bol kya bolna hai.

Nandini- papa Manik ko jaane dijea na. Work comes first. I don't want ke hamare relation ke vjah se kaam secondary hojae. Please!!!

Harsh- kya pttay ke baat boli hai mere beti ne.

Manik- thank you Nandini. Okk!! Toh people mein chalta hu packing krne hai.

Neyonika- ek min..... packing mtlb. Kb jaaraha hai tu???

Manik- kl...

Neyonika- you can't be serious Manik. Kl karwa-chauth hai aur tumhara aur Nandu ka toh 1st hai....

Nandini too felt bad but she controlled. She looked up at Manik and saw him already looking at her. She again looked down not able to meet his gaze. She knew, the time she look in his eyes he would read her like an open book.

Manik- mom relax!!! Mein kl midnight jaara hu. So aapki bahu ka first karwa-chauth kharab nae hoga.

Nandini's head shot up listening his words. She looked at him but this time he was not looking at her.

Manik- okk toh phir mein chalta hu. Packing krne hai..

Neyonika- haa!! Jese tujhe toh bohot  packing krne aati hai. Nandu tu jaa iske saath. Iske packing krdena ache se. Abhi toh dinner ke lia bohot time hai. Jbtk tum log vapis aajana.

Manik- vapis kyu aana hai??

Neyonika- kyunki Nandu yhi pe rehne vaali aaj bhe aur kl bhe. Aur tu bhe yhi rahega smjha.

Manik- I'm waiting in the car. Come...

Nandini nodded and went to wash her hands. She came out and saw him sitting in his car. The shutting sound of the car bought him back and he silently started driving.

Nandini- Manik kuch hua hai kya???(she asked placing her hand on his).

Manik- kuch nae hua. It's just I'm a little tired.

She nodded half-heartedly and again silence prevailed. Seeing her face he held her hand in his without saying anything. They reached his apartment and Manik took out his clothes to be packed.

Manik- mein shower leke aata hu tbtk you pack this stuff then we'll go back to Malhotra mansion.

She nodded and started packing his stuff. She was almost done when Manik came out. Taking his bag along they left for Malhotra Mansion.

This time again silence prevailed. Nandini made a mental note to ask what was wrong with him. She was sure, it was not because of his work.

Hey people!!! The next part up.

How was the interview part???

Manik being naughtly around Nandini.

Manik and Anurag's  bickering...

What is disturbing Manik??? Why is he not ready to share it with Nandini.

Is this the silenve before storm??? If yess then how will Manan survive this???

What do you think, is Nandini really gelling up with everyone or is there still time for her to open up compeletely.....

Keep thinking. Till then seen yaa...
