Malhotra MANSION

Nandini came to Malhotra mansion a bit early than Manik as she thought to prepare some snacks for her Foodie Monster baby to cool his anger. He was angry on her when she ordered him to go to office and this is how she was going to cool that anger. She was making manik's fav. Mixed sauce Pasta for him when she heard someone's voice.

N-" Yeh aawaz kaisi, ghar par toh koi nahi hai kaka ke alawa. Manik office mein hai. And mamaji toh ghar par iswakt hote bhi nahi. Phir yeh aawaz. Kahin aisa toh nahi ki mamaji aa gaye ghar. Ek baar dekh aati hoon." She was thinking how come manik's uncle was at home as Manik said he had gone out of town for some days.

She went towards his room and was going to knock when she heard him saying all the bad things about how he wants to destroy Malhotras.

Nandini-" " Kyun kar rahe hai aap aise?? Kya bigada hai hamne aapka?"

Nishant turned to see Nandini standing there with a grim look on her face and anger in her eyes. She was shocked as well as angry.

Nish-" Are, nandini beta. Tum yahan Kya kar rahi Ho? And knock karke Aana tha na. Aise chori chupe kisi ki baat sunni bad manners hote hai." He said smirking. The change of expression on his face from shock n scared turned into a relaxed and chilled look.

Nandini-" Aur aise kisi ka trust break karke backstab karna bhi acha nahi hota Mr. Roy. How can you do this with Manik? Kyun kar rahe hai yeh sab?" She asked him losing her cool. Nandini Murthy can handle anything but cannot see Manik in pain. And she knows ,this was going to hurt him the most.

Nish-" Main Kya kar raha hoon?
Main toh sirf business kar raha hoon, aur waise bhi tum insab baaton mein naa dhyaan do wahi behtar hoga. Aur rahi baat iski that main yeh sab kyun kar raha hoon.... huh.. let it be Nandini, tumhare matlab ki baat nahi hai." He said sitting on his couch n drinking his wine having a cunning smile on his face.

Nan-" It is my business Mr.roy. yeh jo game aap khel rahe hai na, everyone should know. Manik should know about this. And main usko yeh batake rahungi."

Nish-" Hahahahaha.. Go ahead Nandini. Go ahead, aur bol do sab Manik ko. But do you seriously think that Manik mere khilaaf kuch bhi sunega? Manik  can do anything for me but he can't listen anything bad about me. Kyunki uske paas sirf main hi hoon, his only family. I have raised him up when his parents died. Aur tabse leke abtak woh mere bohot close aa chuka hai." He said getting up and rotating around Nandini with his evil smirk.

" Aur Chalo maan lete hai that Manik tumhari baat maan leta hai, as we all know how much he loves you. Par tum usko jaake bologi kya? What proof do you have that yeh sab Maine kiya hai yaa kar raha hoon? Aur sabse badi baat, Manik ko kitna pain hoga by knowing the truth. " Nandini heard him n looked at him with anger.

Nan-" aap uske baare mein mat sochiye. Bas itna suniye, main Manik ko aapka sach batake rahungi. Aur aapke jo Bhi plans hai na of destroying Manik yeh kabhi pura nahi hoga. Mere rehte tog kabhi nahi." Her voice held anger n her eyes determination to protect her love.

Nish-" Huhh... let's see Nandini beta, par ek baat ka dhyaan rakhna kahin in sab mein tumhara aur Manik ka relation naa bigad jaaye." He gave her an evil look n was leaving.

Nan-" We will see that...."

Nandini couldn't complete as

Angel house.

Manvi and Sharanya discussed the entire matter with Preethi and Amaya about what all Manvi got to know about Mr. Nishant Roy and the suspicion they have on him. Now it was the Detective duo who were all set to find out the truth.

Sharanya just sat on the couch after the discussion and was reading some story. While Manvi went to make a call to Suharika as she was yet not home.

While here Neha was making hakka noodles for everyone in the kitchen. She called out for Sharanya as she needed help from her in making chilli Paneer

Neha-" Oyeeee Choco moco!!!!! Kya wahan couch par leti hui hai kabse ,baad mein padh lena story pehle meri help karegi Kya aakar. Make that chilli paneer na." She shouted from the kitchen being hell irritated as today it was both the K-sisters turn to cook but Sharanya sat with Amaya and Preethi to discuss the matter and now Neha was alone in the kitchen doing everything. And she hated working alone in kitchen.

Shar-" Nahi aaungi. Aaj mera mood nahi hai. Tu bana na. Gayi toh bade josh mein thi andar that main banaungi Chinese. So make now without my help." She also said teasing her sister.

Neha-" Dekh choco moco mera ekdum mood nahi hai Abhi tere se behes karne ka. Main bana rahi hoon na chinese. I didnt say that none should help me. Ab Help me na. Waise hi I'm feeling low at energy." She said sauteing some veggies for noodles.

Sharanya came inside the kitchen to see her kitchen being a mess.

Neha-" haan Haan.. . 5 min BADI BEHEN!!!!! Main aisa kuch nahi karungi. And rahi baat, baat karne ki toh meri jaise marzi waise baat karungi. We are twins remember. I don't believe in your this "5 min badi behen" wala funda." She said showing her tongue and airquoted "5 min badi behen" to tease her.

Shar-" aaagahhhh!!!! Tujhse baat karna hi bekaar hai. Hey devi maiyaa!!!! Mere ko aisi behen kyun Di? Aur di toh di isko baad mein bhejti. Like 1 yaa 2 saal baad."

Neha just looked at her sister in irritation.

Sharanya and Neha are sister goals everytime but if they are together in the kitchen then it will be terror. Both of their working style is different which leads to them have tiffs every single time.

Sharanya was making chilli paneer when Manvi got inside the kitchen after talking to Suharika.

Manvi-" Sumi said that she is coming and is on the way. Will reach in sometime. And tension nahi lena hai." She was blabbering when she saw none of the sisters gave any response so she got what the matter would be.

Manvi-" Kya ho raha hai tum dono ka? Wapas kitchen fight shuru ho gayi? Ufff ....Main koi help karu? Let me make mango shake for us. Sweetdish ho jayegi." She also was going to help when her phone rang. She picked it up and it was......
.
.
.

Man-" hello"

" Hello ma'am, main ACX insurance company se bol raha hoon. Aap ke liye special insurance offer hai. Jismein aapko interest ..."

Man-" Ji nahi mujh koi insurance nahi lena hai. Thank you."

"Par ma'am yeh wala bohot acha hai uske benefits..."

Manvi just cut the call in irritation and stormed to the kitchen in anger

Man-" Inn logon ko koi kaam dhanda nahi hai. Jab dekho toh apne customers ko pareshaan karna hota Hai. Yeh insurance lelo, woh insurance lelo. Saala insurance policy karane ke baad interest rate Kya yeh log bharenge? Tab toh sirf Paise dikhenge."

Neha-" Insurance companies ka kaam dhanda hi yahi hota hai NanJu. Kyun itna chid rahi hai. Just block the no. Na." She said washing the dishes. While manvi just glared at her and took the knife from the side drawer of her side and showed her.

Man-" Dekho bhabhi, abhi na mera mood bohot kharaab hai. So don't instigate me. And mujhe bhi pata hai that yeh unka " kaaaaam" hai. And about blocking the no. My block list is filled with these no. So don't remind me again." She started chopping the mangoes  in small pieces with some other stuff.

While here Neha got hell angry now. She just banged the vessels  while cleaning them. And murmuring something. Manvi and Sharanya were in other 2 corners working silently.

Amaya and Preethi came back to the kitchen hearing the sound of banging something. When they came inside they saw the 3 girls doing their work in silence which shocked them.

Amaya-" Sweets (Preethi), yahan itna shanti kaise hai? Yeh teeno ek saath ek jagah kaam kaise kar rahi hai?" Amaya asked Preethi in a hush tone.

Preethi-" Di mere ko bhi yahi doubt ho raha hai. Fluffs (neha) and LOVE  (manvi) ka aise shaant baithna matlab problem.  Aur yeh Sharu bhi kitchen mein kaam kar rahi hai. You remember na K-sisters in kitchen are disaster."

Amyaa went towards Sharanya and asked-" Sharu, main kuch help karu?" She just nodded her head in no and again started working.

Preethi also when went towards Manvi she got the same reply. Now it was just Neha who was left and looking at her it was clear she was hell angry.

Amaya went towards her and kept her hand on her shoulder-" CB???? Kya Hua??"

And suddenly Neha started crying-" Amiiiiii.... yeh..yeh dono bohot gande hai. They shouted at me and NanJu ne mere ko knife dikhayi. Maine sacchi kuch nahi kiya. I just asked for help. Waise hi backache ho raha hai and they shouted at me." Looking at her Manvi and Sharanya were gonna say something in their defence when Preethi signalled then not to say anything. 

Ami-" awlelele, meri jaan nahi rote aise CB. Acha chal we wont do any work. Tu rest kar Maine pehle bhi kaha tha tujhe but you didn't listen to me." She was hugging Neha. 

Preethi came near Manvi and Sharanya and whispered-" Tum dono jaanti ho na when fluffs is on PMS toh woh cranky hoti hai. And she gets angry and sad in split seconds. Abhi kuch matt bolo Yaar, Let Di handle her."
While Sharanya just went towards her sister and said

" Cutie... sorry na. Acha tujhe jitna kitchen ganda n messy karna hai kar le. But stop crying na. See I made chilli paneer also." While Amaya was constantly caressing her hair.

Manvi-" Bhabhi stop crying you are actually looking a bhootni. Mere ko raat ko nightmares nahi chahiye." Which made Neha rub her eyes n nose with the back of her hands and glare at Manvi.

Am-" Acha theek hai ham plates lagate hai. Tabtak shayad Sumi bhi aa jayegi." She said looking at both the girls.
.
.
.
.
As soon as everyone sat on the table again Manvi's phone rang, and this time she was hell angry.
She picked up the call and without seeing the name and started bashing the caller

"Arey Yaar, yeh insurance Vali ko koyi kaam dhandha Nahi hai, kachuye(tortoise) se bhi slow hai, ek Baar bolo toh Samaj Mai Nahi aata, kitni baar Bola par Nahi ek hi baat Baar Baar puchenge Jaise koi tuta hua recorder, abhi iski toh main band bajati hu aage se Kisi ki bhi China size Ka headache dene se pehle Dus bar sochenge." Manvi muttered under her breath cracking her knuckles like she wanted to punch someone.

Caller-" Hello Miss Murty......"

Man-" Tumhara hello jaaye bhad mein, and tum logon ke paas ledeke yahi kaam hoga par baaki logon ke paas hazaaron kaam hote hai, tumhare Jaise koi navra Nahi yahan. Arey shareef logon ko aise pareshan karte hue Sharam  Nahi aati? Hamesha popat k tarah ek hi cheez Baar Baar repeat karte rehte ho. Duniya Mai aadhe mental problems ka reason tum  hi  ho. Tumhari bakwas sunke headache itna hojata hai k total brain shut down hota hai. Par tum logo ko kya padi hai....she kept on blabbering but stopped suddenly hearing her name at loud voice, a very familiar voice.
.
.
.
.
"MISS MANVI MURTHY WHAT NONSENSE IS THIS?" Hearing the voice from the other side made her keep her phone a bit away from her ears.

Manvi-" Aise gorilla ki tarah kaun chillaata hai Mister. Abhi se behra Nahi Hona mughe. Khudki ki aawaz suni hai kya, top criminals bhi apna crime kubul karlenge Tumhari aawaz sunne k torture se bachne k liye. Lower your voice."

Caller-"  Is this the way you talk to you boss Miss Manvi." Yes guys it was non other that the great Manvi Murthy ke boss, Karan Thakur. Manvi bit her tongue and slapped her forhead. She took a deep breath  then looked at her phone to see the name written as - FLIRT BOSS. "Bas is akdu ki Kami hi baaki thi, aaj Ka din hi kharab hai." She composed herself by counting to 10 and then said

Manvi-" Woh, aapka no. Mere paas nahi tha Sirrrrr. Isliye pata nahi laga that it's you. Btw, why did you call me at this time?" And slowly she murmered to herself *Sir my foot, mann karta hai ussi ki sar (head) par ek kick maaru. He's lucky Mera boss hai Varna kabka is flirt ko 6ft zameen k niche dhakel Diya hota.*

Karan-" I had asked you to give me the recording of all your interview sessions as of now with the celebrities Miss Manvi but you didn't give me. In fact you were not even present in the office after lunch hours. Is this the way you work. If I'm not present in the office that doesn't mean that you will walk out anytime you want. And now you have the audacity to scream at me. You really have no professional ethics. I don't know why the board governess hired you. This is height of incompetency."

Now Manvi was hell angry as she has herself kept the PD of her chat session with celebrities in his cabin and had informed the receptionist to let Karan know about it as his PA Yuvraj was on leave. But alas, that didn't happen and now again this khadoos was blaming her.

Manvi-" Sir, it would have been better if you had checked it yourself in your cabin if the PD is there or not. As I clearly remember that I had kept it in youe table and also informed Shikha (receptionist) about the same. I know my work commitments and I do it with full dedication unlike some of your employees. So next time before blaming me cross-check it yourself. If still you don't get the PD fine I will e-mail you the Link too. Hope this cleared your doubt. Good night." She said controlling her raising voice tone but that didn't seem to happen as Karan got it clear that again he made a mistake.
.
.
.

Karan-" Okay Miss Manvi I think... WTH..." But Manvi had already cut the call.

Here Manik who was driving the car beside him saw his facial expressions changing.

Manik-" Kya hua tujhe?? And tu kisse baat kar raha tha?"

Karan-" Manvi Murthy, entertainment media ki head hai. Galti ho gayi re phir se. Aur thoda zyada suna dala usko." He told Manik the entire conversation. He felt little guilty for blaming her without checking but was not about to apologize about ot. His ego already got a dressing down, he wasn't going to shatter it. Manik was now laughing loudly thinking that finally someone had guts to tell off the "The Great Karan Thakur." And he didn't have any intention to let it go.

Manik-" Manvi Murthy,  Ohhh yes kab tak ki news anchor na. I know her. Mera bhi interview li thi woh. She is sweet yaar. In fact Sharanya and Neha mere company ki IT team head, unki dost hai. You did wrong with her but she did correct with you." He said the last line laughing again which made Karan glare at him.

Manik-" Kya, aisa Kya dekh raha hai. Dude you be careful agar uske gang ko pata laga na about you tab toh beta tu gaya. They are hell possessive about eachother." These were making Karan shiver a bit but then he composed himself and said

"Tu car chala na. And kaunsa main unse Milne wala hoon."

***********

Manik and Karan came inside the house and Manik was constantly laughing while Karan was whinning looking at him laugh. He was constantly asking him to stop which only made Manik laugh more.

Manik-"Hahahhahhaa... teri koi izzat mere samne toh rahi nahi. Par tere employees bhi Teri izzat nahi karte honge yeh nahi pata tha. Damn I so loved conversation. Specially that gorilla jaisi aawaz."

Karan-" Ohhh just shut up Manik. And who Manvi mistook me as some policy agent isliye woh outburst tha." Though he said it as if nothing major issue it was but his facial expressions away that how angry he was with the way She lashed out at him.

Manik-" Ohhhh hello, who toh main bhi samajh gaya par tu real mein kaun hai woh janne ke baad bhi she didn't give any respect to you." He laughed and then asked a buttler about Mr. Roy.

Manik-" Mamu kaha par hai? Woh ghar aa gaye Kya? As unki car bahar parked dikhi."

Buttler-" Yes sir, woh Nandini maam ke saath baat kar rahe hai kuch room mein."

Manik-" Nandini yaha hai? Okay tum jaao. And yes get some water for Sir (Karan)." He made Karan comfortable in the hall and went towards Mr. Roy's room.
.
.
Nishant Roy room

Nan-" We will see that...."

Nandini couldn't complete as Manik entered the room

Manik-" Aree Nandini tum yahan Kya kar rahi ho? And mamu aap aur Nandini itna serious joke Kya baat kar rahe hai?" He asked looking at them who became a bit shocked with his sudden appearance in the room.

Nishant-" Areee... kuch nahi mere bacche woh toh Nandini aayi hui thi toh ham aise hi baat kar rahe the. And main drink kar raha tha na toh she stopped me. Hai na Nandini beta."

Nandini just game him a grim look but then smiled at Manik nodding her head as a yes.

Manik came towards Nandini and softly kissed her cheeks and then circling his arms around her shoulder said
" Acha Chalo aap dono neeche. I want you make you guys meet someone. Specially you Nandini. He has come to meet you." He smiled his ever charming smile and looked at Nishant who said that he will join soon.

MaNan walked towards the hall to where Karan was sitting.

Manik-" Karan, yeh dekho. Meet  my life, my fiancè Nandini Murthy ahhh... soon to be Nandini Murthy Malhotra." 😉 saying those looked at Nandini winking at last which only made her turn red.

Karan got up and went near Nandini and bowed in gentleman style-" Aur main hoon aapka Devar cum dost Karan. Your monster Manik's childhood friend Nandini BHABHI."

To which Manik added-" Haan, mera friend Karan the Donkey." He pat his shoulder a bit along with smiling widely. This made Karan glare at him and Nandini laugh loudly.

Karan-" Oye Monkey.... chup kar." He was gonna chase Manik when Nandini stopped them.

Nandini-" Hey Karan, nice meeting you. Waise plz ek request hai mujhe bhabhi matt bolo. Bohot bade hone wali feel aati hai.Just call me Nandini. And Manik this was not right. He is so good. Donkey matt bolo usse." Which made Karan smile widely and Manik make a sad pout.

Karan-" Thanks for taking my side Nandini BHABHI. Main tumhari baat half manunga. I mean I will call you Nandini always but yes whenever I wish I will call you bhabhi. Don't say no pleaseeee." Nandini just smiled and nodded her head.

Manik was just admiring Nandini who was enjoying talking to Karan. Then he remembered that how she came so early.

Manik-" Nandini, Kaka ne kaha tha that tum dopeher ko hi aa gayi ghar? You were suppose to come in the evening na?"

Nandini-" Haan woh actually I came to prepare dinner today. Tum naraz the toh thought of making some of you favorite dishes." She said the last line blushing a little as Karan was standing beside her. While Manik's happiness had no boundary. He was damn happy with the thought that nadini did so much just to manofy his fake anger.

Karan- " oopsss... lagta hai main galat time par aa gaya. Tum dono ki no dinner date thi lagta hai. Manik, I'll take your leave. Baad mein aaunga kabhi."

Nandini-" Aree.. nahi Karan, it's nothing like that. And koi dinner date nahi thi. You also join in. Mamaji bhi hai gaht par so we will have dinner together."
Nandini smiled at Manik while Manik also nodded and asked him to join.

They all had their dinner with lots of fun. Manik was constantly being romantic. Sometimes holding her hand under the table or winking at her while chatting with other.

Karan was telling Nandini some of the embarrassing incidents of Manik and Cabir. Manik just held his head nd glaring him to stop but alas, that didn't happen.

ANGEL HOUSE

Manvi cut the call in anger when she saw Preethi standing beside her keeping a hand on her shoulder.

Preethi-" Love, Kya hua? All okay na. Itna zor zor se kispar chilla rahi thi?"

Manvi-" That duffer, bhondu Flirt boss par, that guy is getting on my nerves. Pata nahi Kya dushmani hai usse mujhse jab dekho toh mere ko galat prove karne par laga rehta hai. Isko tog Main kal office mein dekhungi." The Manvi lava was all set to erupt in that Karan and Preethi knew that now that boss was gone.

Manvi-" Pretty baby, let's go in, nahi toh woh Bhukkad bhabhi meri sab khaa jayegi." This made Preethi ans Manvi both laugh when they turned to go inside the saw from their balcony that A bike halted near their apartment and a girl got down from the backseat.

She was bidding bye to the Bike-rider and when she turned Manvi and Preethi got to see that it was non other than....

Manvi/Preethi- "SUMI (Suharika) !!!!!!"
