Manik left after introducing nandu to mukti and they both started to walk towards nandu's first class....nandu is joining bba as an open course as she didn't completed her +2!!

Mukti:So...tumhi ho navya bhabhi ki friend ??

Nandu:Ji....Main unki junior hoon but she is my only best friend during my school days till my 10 !! Aur aap ??

Mukti(laughing):Pehli baat...Iam not aap...you can call me mukti except during class and infront of college staff !! And main manik ki classmate hoon...uski sister and we both are a gang...baaki gang members se jaldi milaungi !! Aur yaha pe main abhi sirf assistant hoon humare music sir kim..Abhi tumhare class mein chalte hain varna you will be late and manik will scold me as he knows that I will never be on time !!

She laughed saying so and nandu too laughed with her...

Mukti:Tumhari smile bahut cute hain...always keep smiling...

Nandu blushed and nodded her head in yes !! They reached her classroom and professor is taking attendance !! Mukti sighed in relief as they were on time coz professor takes attendance at beginning of the class and nandu was lucky as from today itself new batch started...so...she is not going to miss any classes !! Mukti excused professor and entered with nandu...she introduced nandu to him and turned towards class !!

Class

Mukti:Hey guys !! She is new joining in our college...I know you all are also new joins but most of you are continuing from +2...so I hope you people will welcome her in a friendly way !! She is Nandini Sharma and she is from India !!

They all said hello in a unison and mukti gestured her to take her seat...nandu smiled at mukti and sat in third bench in right side row beside a girl....mukti after making sure that nandu is comfortable left from there thanking professor !! Professor started with class while few people introduced themselves to her !!

Girl:Hi !! Iam Alya !! Alya Singhania !!

Boy1(bench behind nandu's):Iam Madhyam singhania!! Alya's twin brother !! You can call me maddy !!

Boy2:Iam Dhruv !! Dhruv Vedant !!

Nandu smiled at them and shook hands with them...they then concentrated on class !! After first two classes they were given break and three of them requested nandu to accompany them to canteen and she agreed as inorder to know each other well they need to spend time and she too need new friends and environment !! They all reached canteen and settled down after giving their order !!

Canteen

Alya:So...we both are born and bought up in Newyork itself and finished our previous degree in this college only where we met dhruv but when we finished our second year we decided to shift to business management as our dads wanted us to handle our business but our knowledge is too low regarding business !! Hence...we three joined bba !!

Nandu:I completed my 10 in India and later due to my family issues I couldn't join in +2!!I was living with my mama mami but they wanted my property and hence came here to my best friend few days back !! I turned 21 few days ago in India and want to fulfill my dad's dream to take our family business to greater heights....hence I joined in BBA through open university !!

Dhruv:That was a good decision !! We should respect our parents choices and moreover study always keeps us occupied...so...where do you live ??

Nandu:Meri friend ke ghar mein !! Her husband's family is so sweet and he treats me like a sister !!

Alya:Aww !! You are so lucky !!

Nandu smiled and three of them smiled at her !!

Maddy:you are pretty nandini !!

Nandu:Thank you maddy!!

Alya:Can we call you nandu ??

Nandu(smiling):We are friends yaar !! Yes !! You all can !!

They had their snacks and left for remaining classes....they got to know each other during other classes and nandu was happy to find them as she is enjoying a new phase which she thought would never come in her life...college life !!Their last class was of music and nandu was a little more excited for the class...they are going to music room and seeing her excitement alya asked her...

Alya:Nands !! Why are you so excited ??

Nandu(happily):Music mera favourite hain !! It's been many years since I got associated with music !!

Maddy:phir toh tim bahit acha gaati hogi ?? Haina ??

Nandu:Nahin !! I just know how to play veena !! Vaise...what was your optional subject in previous course ??

Alya:It was arts !! We three were from same base in all streams !!

Dhruv:Acha !! Chalo class aa gaya !!

Music room

They entered the class and greeted raghav sir,music teacher and nandu smiled at mukti who is standing with sir....they all settled down in groups on the floor as there are no benches !!They all made confused faces and looking at them raghav sir decided to clear their confusion...

Raghav:good morning guys !! I know ki tum sab log confused ho ki why there are no benches...its because aaj hum log sirf baatein karenge aur yoga as concentration is a must for music !!

They all made faces but agreed as they are having no other option....firstly they need to do yoga and all did meditation for about 10 minutes and everyone are literally dozing but nandu is still and smiling peacefully....after 10 minutes raghav asked them to open their eyes and everyone except nandu shot their eyes open and started to shake their heads inorder to get their heads off from sleep while nandu opened them slowly and sat casually !! Raghav smiled at them all and asked for introduction...They all introduced themselves along with their favourite music instrument and why they have chose music as their optional !!

Alya:Iam Alya Singhania !! I love to play piano and music is my way of expressing feelings !!

Dhruv:Iam Dhruv Vedant and Iam a guitarist !! I just love music !!

Maddy:Iam Madhyam Singhania !! Iam a drummer and guitarist....Music is my passion....

Nandu:Iam Nandini Sharma !! I play veena and guitar....music is my soul...it brings me immense happiness !!

Her friends smiled at her answer and soon introduction got finished !!

Raghav:aaj first day hain..so students I will be telling you college rules !! Though this is an optional....yet if you people wish then we will be having competitions once a year and you guys can participate either in groups or solely and prove your talent !!(students hooted)But...inorder to go on with classes you guys need to form bands as we will be giving group assignments !!

They all formed bands and gave their respective band names to mukti...nandu formed a band with dhruv,maddy and alya !! They named their band as Beetles....their class ended and they left the class !! Everyone left for their house and nandu is waiting for manik...alya offered lift but declined as she was sure that manik will come and they all are waiting for manik to come !! Finally manik arrived and got down from the car....three of them got shocked seeing him as he was that guy of senior year for whose one look girls used to die and what was he doing there in college !! Alya was the first to came out of shock...

Alya(excited):Awww !! Manik Malhotra !! What is he doing here ??

Nandu(sheepishly):ahh !! He came to pick me up !!

Madhrulya(shocked):What ???

Nandu:He is my bestiee's brother in law...we live in same house !!

Dhruv(shocked):you live in Malhotra Mansion ??

Nandu nodded and before they can ask her further questions manik smiled at them and dragged nandu from there paying no heed to them while nandu waved them a bye and followed him...they all recovered from shock and waved her bye...soon manik started car and they left !! These three too left in their vehicles !!

Car

Nandu:manik !! Tumne mujhe aise kyun pull kiya ??

Manik:Issliye kyunki they were gaping me and if I waited till you introduce me to them...then hum kal hi ghar jayenge !! Acha !! Are they your new friends ??

Nandu(smiling):yes !!

Manik:Don't take me wrong but be a little away from thosr boys...ok ?? Its just for your safety !!

Nandu:Don't worry manik...I understand your care !! Agar tumhari jagah mera captain hota toh woh toh un ladkon ko aisa marta ki mujhse puchega tak nahin ki why are they with me and I need to scold him to stop him !! God !! He is so cute.....

She started to laugh and manik just admired her laugh with a lopsided smile as that's true...he was like that only in childhood !! Infact he would have did that now too but controlled himself as what if nandu got doubt and she finds out who he is !!

Manik:Acha how was your day by the way ??

Nandu:My day....

She started her day and he was listening to her...she was so lost in her rant unaware of the fact that she is behaving like a 8 years old girl who was lost somewhere and manik is having glint of tears listening and looking at her antics !! She is telling about music class and how she loves music when all of a sudden she lost the track !!

Nandu:Manik mujhe Icecream chahiye !!

Manik(confused):Icecream kahan se aaya ?? Tum toh music ke baare mein bol rahi thi na !!

Nandu(sheepish):woh...music ke baad mera next favourite thing Icecream hain and mera favourites bolte waqt yaad aayi...can I have one ??

Manik(smiling):I will take you to my favourite Icecream parlour !!

Nandu(excited):Yayy !!

He laughed and she started to look out of window...she completely forgot that manik is a stranger and got comfortable with him !! Manik suddenly remembered something and decided to ask her....

Manik:waise nandu...I need to ask you something !! How come you are so comfortable with me ?? What if maine tumhe kuch kiya??

He tried to scare her but she made a blank face and smiled a sarcastic smile....

Nandu(plainly):I trust you manik coz navya mujhe yuhi kisi ke saath nahin chodegi ?? And tumhe dekhke koyi bhi nahin bolega ko you can misbehave with a girl...atleast after being with you for two days!! Haan...sunday we weren't with each other much but navya was just telling about you like how much she love you and all !! So...I can rely on you !!

Manik smiled at her and they reached New Magnum Ice cream parlour !! They both got down from car and entered inside...they settled on a table for two and are looking at menu !!

Nandu(placing the menu down):Iam so confused manik !!!

Manik(smiling):Acha !! Tell me your favourite flavor !!

Nandu:Woh chodo na....tum batao...yaha pe kaunsa flavor acha hoga ??

Manik:Honge toh bahut !! Ek kaam karte hain hum saare flavors try karte hain...kya kehti ho ??

Nandu(confused):par...sab aaj hi kaise kha sakte hain ??

Manik(after a little thought):woh bhi sahi hain...ek kaam karte hain...har roj ek ek flavor try karte hain...what say ??

Nandu(excited):sachi !!! Par...tum free nahin hoge na daily !!

Manik:kyun nahin...kal se tumhara college full day hain and main bhi office se usi time wapis avunga....yeh parlour ghar aur college ke beech mein hain !! So...jab tak yaha ke saare flavors chahe ache yah bure hum try nahin karte...we will come here regularly !!

Nandu(smiling):Idea bahut acha hain !! Ab kya khayenge ??

Manik:Let's start with my favourite flavor in this parlour !!

Nandu nodded and manik ordered gelato...soon order arrived and they started to eat...

Nandu(relishing):It's been years I have tasted Ice cream...thank you so much manik !! This is really tasty !!

Manik:This is one of the best flavor in Newyork !!

Nandu:mmmm....

Manik chuckled and continued to eat his Icecream....they finished their Ice cream and left for their home !! Soon they reached Malhotra Mansion and entered inside...they got down from the car and were about to enter inside but were shocked to see cavya placing luggage in car !! They both reached them and cavya turned towards them...

Navya(smiling):Thank god tum dono aa gaye...kabse wait kar rahe the !! Acha nandu cabir ko ek project ki wajah se albany jaana hain and Iam accompanying him...hum dono 4 days nahin rahenge...so...tum dono ko akhele rehna hoga !! Is it ok ??

Nandu(worried):Par navya....hum dono ??

Manik:Yaar !! Abhi abhi toh kaha ki you trust me...phir ??

Nandu:Manik !!! Woh baat nahin hain !! (turning towards navya)hum dono tum dono ke bina kya karenge ??

Cabir:nandu sirf 4 days and tum college jaogi aur manik office...phir 4 days ke baad tum dono waha aajana !! Let's celebrate our weekend over there....kya kehti ho ??

Nandu(hugging cabir):teekhe....par I will miss you bhai !!

Cabir(smiling and winking at manik):I will miss you too...

She broke the hug and hugged navya while manik hugged cabir....

Cabir(whispering):Meri project sachi mein hain but navya ko main jaan booch ke le jaa raha hoon so that you both can spend some lone time with each other !! Make some new memories to cherish...

Manik(smiling):Thankyou bhai !!

They broke the hug and nandu too left navya...manik hugged navya and they were about to sit in the car when navya remembered something and turned back...

Navya:aur haan nandu...chef bhi aaj se nahin rahenge as unhe koyi kaam aa gaya hain...so...you should only prepare food for you both...ok bye !!

Nandu(shocked):What !!! Par...

Cavya:bye.....

They both settled down and driver started the car....nandu made a grumpy face and turned towards manik with a glare who is standing with an innocent face on !!

Nandini expression
