New day, beautiful morning,

Beach house

Manik was sleeping keeping his head in the gap of nandini's neck hiding his face in her beautiful long hair which were acting as a curtain for him from the early sunrays. His left hand was wrapped around Nandini's waist hugging her tightly while Nandini had kept her head on his right shoulder, both of them were devoid of any cloths just wrapped in a duvet. Nandini's sleep broke with Manik nuzzling his faces continuesly and making her feel ticklish.

N-" uhhh ... Manik don't do this na. Mere ko ticklish feel ho raha hai. Move aside." She said trying to shift him a bit, but alas.... no use as Manik just gave her a feathery kiss on her nape and again slept. Nandini saw him shifting a bit and got lost in his charming face which was looking like a cute baby with his cute pout.

M-" Aise hi dekhti rahogi mujhe toh aur pyaar ho jayega. And uske baad Kya hoga you know na. Kal raat ki tarah... hmm.. " He said in his husky morning voice caressing her  waist which made Nandini blush.

N-" Manikkkk!!!!! Bas bohot ho gaya. Ab mere ko ready hona hai. Ghar bhi jaana hai hame. Now give me your shirt." She said keeping his hand aside and maintaining a straight face with  blushing cheeks.

M-" Tum kitni unromantic ho yaar. Main Ab kuch nahi karunga. Jo karna hai karo tum and I will not give you my shirt." He said acting all cute and annoyed and turned on his stomach and pretended to be sleeping. While Nandini's mouth was hung down on Manik's cute allegation. But she had to get ready too. It was 10 am and they had to reach home. And for that they had to get ready. Her dress were on the sofa and Nandini could not step down like that. She thought of something looking at Manik and slowly lied on his back.

N-" Mani... tumko sach me lagta hai I'm unromantic? Par Ab Kya kare, we are getting late na. Acha let's do one thing, Abhi tum utho drop me home main shaam ko aaungi Milne tumse ghar par. Ab toh to give your shirt na." She was constantly caressing his hair and his tattoo on his back. Manik who was shocked a while back was enjoying this now. His eyes were closed. He was about to turn when Nandini grabbed the shirt and wore it.

N-" Thanks for the shirt." She spoke near his ears and ran in jet speed towards the washroom grabbing her dress.

Manik sat abruptly n looked at his fiancee again tricking him.
" NANDINI!!!!! THIS IS NOT FAIR. THIS IS CHEATING!!!" He said like a small kid making irritating face.

Nandini who was in the washroom answered- " But Maine tog koi cheating nahi Ki. And agar kiya bhi toh.." Mr. monster everything is fair in love and war 😉 Ab stop sulking and get ready in another room. Hame jaana hai wapas." She was laughing imagining Manik's sulking face.

M-" Tum na engagement ke baad beewiyon ki tarah hukum chalana lagi ho. Meri GF Kahan gayi? Galat kehte hai log ki shaadi ke baad ladke badal jaate hai, mere case mein toh meri GF hi badal gayi woh bhi engagement ke baad. So unromantic." He was constantly blabbering and complaining. While getting his essential  things and was moving out of the room when again he came back.

Knocking on the bathroom door.-" Tum na rukko Abhi. Ready hoke aata hoon. Then I will tell you. And who M5 and Cabir se door raho. Bigad rahe hai tumhe. " he said at last and went to get ready.

Nandini was just laughing inside and shook her head.

Malhotra Heights

K-sisters were working in their cabin. Because of the proposal and a lot of things happened in the past 2 weeks got their entire work mode on hold. So now all of them were back in action.

In the morning itself they all recalled the plan made by them for Mr. Roy and got the latest update by Mittal brothers. So it was going as per the plan.

Sha-" Nehu, it feels like after so long we are back to office. And apna toh pura work hi on hold chala gaya. I'm still not feeling like doing anything." She said closing the file she was suppose to check.

Neha-" True yaar Sharu, mera toh aaj subhe uthne ka mann nahi kar raha tha after the last night's prank and party. Yeh toh acha hai Manik wI'll come after lunch, nahi toh hame jhad padti uski." She said making face.

Sh-" But we need to work. Abhi tak hamne apna half plan execute kiya hai. We need to concentrate on that from now."

Neha-" yaa, Nanju (Manvi) boli thi that she will come with some details and backstory of Mr. Roy. let's wait for her. Aur Shaan and Ruhaan aaj meeting fix karne wale hai na."

At the same time Neha's phone  rang.

Neha-" hello, haan NanJu bol. Kya hua?"

Man-" Bhabhi, mere ko kuch pata laga hai. But......"

Neha-" Tu Kya bol rahi Hai? Aawaz nahi aa rahi yaar. Rukk." She gestured Sharanya she will come talking to Manvi while Sharanya gave a thumbs up.

Neha came out of the office and was talking in the corridor.

Neha-" haan, bol Ab, Aawaz nahi aa rahi thi. Kya pata laga tere ko?"

Man-" Tu behri hai yeh pata hai mere ko. Ek ear'aid kyun nahi le leti. Aur saaf sunai dega." She taunted.

Neha-" mere kaan ekdum theek hai. Tu kaam bol kyun call ki thi."

Man-" Are haan, who I have got to know something. Pata nahi kitna sach hai aur kitna jhoot but ek rumour paila tha. Let's see. Aur haan main office aa rahi hoon. Sharu aur tu mere ko half n hr baad woh tere office me bahar wala Cafe hai na wahan Milo."

Neha-" Acha theek hai, we will reach there. And plz car dhang se chalana. Agar tune phir kahin thoka na car toh teri ammijaan mere ko thok degi. Zaada Speed mein NAHI NanJu." She pleaded Manvi to drive safely.

Man-" Agar aisa hona toh main jaanbooch ke thodkti car, but then tere saath mere ko daant nahin khaani bhabhi isliye main theek se hi chalaungi car. Ab phone rakho and kaam karo. And meet me on time" She teased Neha and kept the phone even before Neha could say anything.

Neha-" Dekh tu... Areee.. .phone cut kardi... battamiz ladki. Isko ghar par dekhungi." She made a face and just turned in anger and was going back to her cabin when she collided with a strong wall!!!!!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Naaaaaaa... it was not wall but
YASH!!!!

Neha-" Aaaauuu!!!!! Kaun hai bey!! !! *Neha held her left side forehead where she got hit because of colliding with Yash*

Yash held Neha and was rubbing her forehead with his palms but in all this the files he was carrying, fell down which he didn't even gave any importance.

Yash-" Dekhke, Abhi tumko lag jaati Neha. Be careful. Zaada lagi toh nahi? Aur itna gussa kispar?" He said still staring her adjusting her hair. Today she was wearing Indian wear orange colour short kurti with red patiala looking more cute and pretty. Yash was again lost in her.

Neha- " Patthar ke insaan... Kya zaada lagi toh NAHI??  Pata hai kitni zor se lagi. And tumhare paas aankh nahi hai? Mujhe bol rahe ho dhyaan se Chalo. Aur itna Kya tum ladko ko body building soojhti hai? Bana lo patthar aur phir tum logon se takrane se kitna zoor ka lagta hai. Are aisa lag raha hai maine apna sar kahin patthar pe maar liya. Idiot. Waise body banake fayda toh hai NAHI, darte toh tum ham ladkiyon se zaada ho. Bhoot we bhi darte ho. Fayda Kya." She was all angry and irritated with Manvi and as always wahan ka gussa usne Yash par nikala.

Yash-" Areee... Maine Kya kiya. Dekho kal ki baat matt karo. Bhoot ka body building se connection nahi hai. Aur Main tog files leke jaa raha tha. Ab tum achanak se turn ki toh meri kya galti. And meri bhi toh to file gir gayi na. I toh held you from falling." He said making a shocked and complaining face.

Neha-" Acha acha theek hai. And tumhari files gira Di uske liye bhi sorry. But still tumko bhi dekhna chahiye tha. Lao let me help you pick them up." Neha also knew that even she was at fault so she bend to pick the files when Yash stopped her.

Yash-" areee.. . Nahi, rehne do tum. And sorry bolne ki zaroorat nahi. Files hi toh giri thi.." before he could complete the sentence a voice came from behind.
.
.
.

(Manik's outfit is also this)

" File hi toh giri hai, kaun sa MH ke shares gir gaye. Hai na Mr. YASH. Tumko Maine company mein mere employees ko girne se bachane ke liye rakha hai na." It was Manik Malhotra who came in the office even after pleading Nandini that he didn't want to go today. But alas, he was left with no choice but to listen to her. And came with a very bad mood.

Yash-" N..no.. sir, mera matlab woh nahi tha. Main keh raha tha I will pick the files and was heading for work only."

M-" Lagta toh nahi hai. Main kuch din office mein dhyaan nahi de raha toh sab kaam se bhag rahe hai. Now comeon back to work. My engagement party is over, work time now. Miss. Kapoor you also go to work. And Yash I need a strong black coffee along with the files in my cabin NOW. " commanding he was going to his cabin.

Neha-" Sir!!!!!! Me and Sharanya have to leave for an important meet. Will be back in an hour. Just near the office."

M-" What important meet?" He asked giving Neha a look.

Neha-" Nandini ma'am ka kaam hain can't tell you." She took Nandini's name as it was safe and Manik won't ask further.

M- Okay fine. But once you are back tell Sharanya to meet me. I have some work."

Neha-" Okay, I will... SIRRRR!!!!" She purposely stretched the word Sir.

Neha also went to her cabin shaking her head.

*********

Manik's Cabin

Manik was working on some files when he heard a knock.

Manik-" Come in Yash. And place the coffee on the table." He said without lifting his head.

Suddenly he saw a big bouquet of roses kept on his table.

Manik-" Yash what is with this bouquet...You!!!!!" Manik stopped midway when he saw the person who came with the bouquet was not Yash but....

Cafe

Manvi was waiting for K-sisters when they finally came in running inside the cafe.

Manvi looked at the sisters and said- " Finally you both graced this poor cafe with your presence. Thanks to the lord."

Neha-" Oye, stop ur drama. And ham late hue because of ur that fav. MANIK. He was the one who was asking questions of where are we going and all."

Man-" Oye... mere Manik ko kuch matt bol. Woh kabhi kuch nahi karta. Tum hi ne kuch kiya hoga." Here came the ultimate lawyer of The Manik Malhotra, Manvi Murthy to defend him.

Sh-" Guys!!!! Baad mein yaar. Baad mein ladna. Abhi we have work. Manu bata Kyun bulayi tu? Kya pata laga?" She stopped the almost started Tom-Jerry fight of these two girls.

Man-" Haan, woh mujhe Mr. Roy ke baare mein kuch pata laga hai. I was going through his entire business journey. Toh socha why not start from the starting. And mere ko pata laga hai that the very 1st project of his was being done with some Indian Co. But uske rival as in the other party who was fighting for it was Mr. Shrikant Malhotra i.e. Manik's father. And he also bagged that project. So the only project he lost in his entire career was this one that too from Mr. Malhotra."

Sha-" But why did they fought for the same project. Like did they know eachother then? As far as I know Nyonika ma'am and Shrikant sir were college lovers na. Tog unke bhainke baare mein kaise NAHI pata."

Man-" Nahi, they didn't know eachother. Shrikant Malhotra ko yeh nahi pata tha that the company he is fighting against is Nyonika ma'am company. But  ek cheez hai , uss project ko harne ke baad Mr. Roy ko thoda business loss hua tha."

Neha-" Hmm.. so why did Nyonika married Mr. Malhotra? Mr .Roy ne apne hi rival se apni behen ki shaadi kyun karayi?" The 3 girls were lost in deep thought.

Man-" yeh toh sirf hamari detective duo  (Preethi and Amaya) hi pata kar sakti hain. Aaj shaam ko baat karte hai. But guys, tum log Malhotras ke old records nikal sakte ho kya? Like 10-12 yrs back ke records." She asked them.

Sh-" Risky hai par... koshish kar sakte hai." She looked at Neha who was in deep thoughts.

Man-" Bhabhi... oyee.... Bhabhi.. Kahan kho gayi? " she shook Neha.

Neha-" Kahin nahi, just thinking that yeh sab last mein jaakar kitna ugly hoga? I mean jo assumptions ham nikal rahe hai agar woh sahi hota hai toh yeh bohot bura turn lega. Who baat alag hai that it's all tangled up." She said looking at both the girls who now had the same expression.

Sh-" Par sach kabhi na kabhi toh aayega na bahar. Yeh bhi ho sakta ha that ham galat ho. And kuch bhi galat na ho. Abhi lets get to work." She told motivating them.

*********** 

Manik's Cabin

Manik-" Yash what is with this bouquet...You!!!!!" Manik stopped midway when he saw the person who came with the bouquet was not Yash but....
.
.
.
.
A young guy was standing with a charming smile. He was

Manik-" Areee...aap??? Aap kaise aaye yahan? This is not Kabtak media office. Yeh mera MH hai."

Karan-" Bas kar yaar Maan. Itni izzat kaafi hai tere mooh se. And main yahan tujhse Milne aaya hoon, to congratulate you on ur engagement. Sorry na yaar main nahi aa paaya." Karan said to his childhood friend Manik. He knew that Manik would be really angry and expected a punch directly on seeing but thank God it didn't happen, because something else happened.

Manik landed a solid punch in his stomach and then kicking him 2-3 times said holding his hands at his back-" Haan, ab bol saale, Kya bol raha tha? Sorry, main nahi aa paaya. You idiot, kameene, marr jaa kahin jaakar. And dare you come again. Bohot bada aadmi hai na tu. Jaa, nahi chahiye tere flowers." He said pushing him again and Karan held his hand pleading

Karan-" Are, mere bhai kitna maarega aaur. And I swear main nikla tha yaar for the party but woh PM Modi ke saath media conference call thi. And..."  he was stopped midway by Manik

M-" Don't, don't you dare give me those useless explanations and bahanas. I will not listen. What big did I asked for, haan, all I wanted was my friends cum my family to be with me on my special day.  And friends mein all I have is you, Prithvi and Cabir. Aur wahan bhi tu nahi tha. Don't talk to me." He made a very angry face and sat on the couch with a puffed face.

Karan just shook his head looking at his friend who was still the same. He might have become a Millionaire and a business tycoon for the world but when it comes to his friends n loved one's , he is the this Manik- The cute, baby and tantrum throwing Manik. And this Version of his is open to only selected people.

Karan-" Manik !!Maan!!!, Acha sunn na. Sorry galti ke liye. *Manik glared at him* Acha fine... sorry nahi bolunga. But sacchi imp. Kaam tha yaar nahi NAHI toh pakka aata. Ab bol Kya karna hai jisse tu mere se baat karega."

M-" Pakka tu th meri koi bhi baat manega?"

Karan-" Haan, matlab jo main kar paunga. Ab bol na, itna Kya fekta kapoor ke faltu serial ki tarah baat ko stretch kar raha hai." This line made Manik laugh.

M-" Fine then, tu aaj mere ghar aayega. Nandini se bhi mil lena. She will come in the evening. And yes me, you and Cabir whole night masti and boys time like we use to do in school days. Bol manzoor."

Karan-" Are pakka manzoor, I will be there. And bhabhi se bhi milna hai. Ham Bhi you dekhe that kaun hai woh mahan Angel jo iss Devil ko puri life handle karne ke liye taiyaar hai." He said making fun of him.

M-" Chup kar donkey, I'm not at all a devil. And tu ek baar dekhna Nandini is the best. Woh baat sahi hai that sirf woh hi mujhe handle kar sakti hai and she truly is an Angel."

Karan-" Ayeee.. how dare you call me donkey, you Monkey.... tu rukk." Karan just jumped on Manik who was sitting on the couch and both of them were having a boys fight. At the same time the door of the cabin flung open and....
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

Shara-" Manik sir you called...Hawwwww!!!!! Hey devi maiyaa yeh maine kya dekh liya!!!!" She closed her eyes and turned her back.

Manik and Karan both got up immediately and straightened themselves.

M-" Turn around Miss. Kapoor. What happened. And why you came in like this without knocking?" He said looking at Sharanya who was still closing her eyes but opened them immediately as she heard him.

Shar-"Aye haye, main door knock karke hi aayi thi. But aapko kaise pata lagega? Aap toh yahan iss prani( person) ke saath chi chi chi.. pata nahi Kya kar rahe the sofe par. Aap dono genders mein interested ho mujhe nahi pata tha Manik. Par atleast Nandini ka soch kiya hota. Woh janti hai Kya is baare mein?"

Listening Sharanya Manik and Karan got 1000 volt current. They were so shocked that Manik shouted her name- SHARANYA KAPOOR,  KYA BAKWAS HAI YEH?"

Sha-" Bakwaas nahi hai Yeh, Maine jo apni aankhon se dekha woh sach hai yeh. Tabhi main sochu aap hamesha Cabir ke saath hi kyun rehta hai. And even Cabir ka aapke liye woh pyaar. Sach hai na. You are interested in boys and girls both. Hey devi maiyaa!!!!! Kahan Maine isse sexy TEDDY BEAR bolti thi, aur isne yeh kiya. Sach tak NAHI bataya. Ham thodi kuch karte. Shantanu ke saath saath isko bhi set kar dete." She said in her overdramatic way looking at Manik and talking to her fav. Devi maiyaa.

Karan-" hey You, just shut the F up. What is wrong with you girl. Tabse boli jaa rahi ho. And ham wahan fight kar rahe the. Simple boys fun fight. Ulta seedha matt socho." He was completely irritated now as he saw Manik holding his head.

Sh-" Oyeeeee... tum hote kaun ho mere aur Sexy teddy bear ke beech bolne wale? Main usse baat kar rahi hoon. You shut up. Hamare bhole bhale Manik ko phasa kar tum Kya jeetna chahte ho?who sirf Nandini ka hai. Niklo tum." She got all angry hearing this stranger.

M-" SHUT UP BOTH OF YOU.! And Sharanya stop calling me that name. I'm ur boss remember that. And what Karan said is right. I'm straight and ham yahan bas apne bachpan ke kuch yaadien taaza kar rahe the. Got it." He said in frustration. This always happened with him when he was surrounded by any of m5 member. And specially Sharanya.

Shar-" Acha aisa, toh pehle bolna tha na ki yeh ghochu dost hai tumhara. Bekaar mein Maine apni devi maiyaa ko pareshaan kar diya. *she looked up folding her hands* devi maiyaa,  hame maaf kariyega. Inn logon ke wajah se hamne aapko kasht ( disturb) diya. Aap apna kaam kariye.

   Manik ek aur baat,  Main tumhe woh name i.e. "Sexy teddy bear ' toh bulaungi. Do whatever you want." She turned to Manik and said with a smirk while Manik was only cursing his fate for meeting such people in his life.

Karan just laughed hearing her calling Manik with that name but stopped seeing Manik glaring him.

Shar-" Acha haan, aapne hame kyun bulaya? Neha ne bola tha you called me."

M-" Haan I called you ... but all thanks to your great drama I forgot the purpose. You leave now. I'll call you once I remember."

Shar-" Tumhe baadam khaana chahiye. Dimag acha chalega. Aaj 2 badam aur ek Akhrot  ( Almonds and)  water mein soak karke  rakh dena and morning mein khaana. Daily kahoge toh to your brain will become sharper and you will remember things." Giving this 100 bucks advice to Manik Sharanya left the cabin whole Manik just slumbed on his chair.

Manik *thinking*-" Unromantic GF, a Donkey Friend and 2 Devil Employees. Wowww... what a life Aiyappa!!! Sab mere zindagi mein dena tha."

Karan- " Kahan Kahan se aise namoone  (weird people) laaye hai tune? Hahahahhaha and that name is amazing 'Sexy TEDDY BEAR ' hahahha". He was laughing again n again.

M-"Karan!!!!!! STOP YAAR. Meri toh life hi barbad ho gayi."

*************

Evening, MALHOTRA MANSION

Mr. ROY's room

Nishant Roy was talking on the phone with his manager.

Nish-" Haan, Prateek bolo."

Mang-" Sir, Abhi abhi Shantanu Mittal ke PA. Ka call aaya tha. He wants to meet you to discuss something regarding business. So when should I fix the meeting?"

Nish-" Mittal grps ke yahan se game phone? Hmm.. tell him I will myself come to his office tomorrow at 2 pm. And yes, send me his contact no."

Mang-" Yes sir, I will do that."

Nishant heard him and then cut the call. He expected that he would get some profit by introducing himself as Manik's Uncle, but didn't know that it would be this soon. Mittals were a big name and he was looking forward for this meet.

Nish-" Hmmmm..... Manik ke naam se mujhe toh fayda ho hi raha hai. Ab sirf ek baar uske saath ka Williams project khatam ho jaaye toh main aage Mittals ke saath kuch kar sakta hoon. Ek mauka toh Manik ko barbaad karne ka choot gaya mere haathon se. Par issbaar nahi. Malhotras ko barbaad(destroy) toh hona hi hai, but apni company ko main aur upar lejaunga isse." He was talking to himself ans laughing like a maniac. But he failed to notice that there was someone who heard him.
