We can see a girl is surround by 5 people. They are starring at her with a questioning look while she is just playing with her fingers and giving them a small smile.

"Guys, can you people stop staring at me like I'm China's President and being arrested by you all for investigation of Corona.?"

" Stop trying to act smart Sumi and tell us where were you all this while. It's going to be 9."
The girl was non other than Sumi aka Suharika who was being surrounded by the M5 people from all sides.

Manvi-" HMM.. so bataiye Miss Suharika Iyer aap itni raat ko Kahan thi? Aur kiske saath thi?" Manvi sat on a chair exactly opposite Suharika and asked her like a police officer interrogating.

Sumi-" he he he.. Hospital mein thi Manu. Remember I went to hospital in the morning." She said sheepishly but then being confident.

Neha-" Aadha sach nahi pura sach bolo smiley. You went to the hospital in the morning! What about evening?  Where were you and with WHOM?" Neha asked her who was standing just beside her having a very stern face.

Here as the NanJu-Bhabhi jodi were interrogating Suharika and the other people I.e. Amaya, Preethi and Sharanya sat on the couch with their milkshake having a sip and enjoying the live CID interrogation happening in front of them.

Sumi-"Hospital mein zaada kaam ho gaya tha Manu. Isliye late ho gaya." Hearing her Sharanya said from the back.

Shar-" Toh tu hospital toh cab se gayi thi na, then how come you came on bike?" Hearing Saranya Suharika looked at her in shock.

Preethi-" Haan Haan.. . Sumi bolo kaun tha woh ladka?" She was hiding her smile and asking her taking a bite of her chocolate ice cream.

Sumi-" he he..Zaroori thodi hai ladka hi ho. I mean it can be a girl on bike too na. Kuch bhi Tum Log sochte ho." She was going to get up when Neha held her shoulder making her sit again while Manvi locked her legs with hers and asked

Manvi-" Don't try to run away Sumi. And woh ladka hi tha. And we also know KAUN THA as we saw his face when he removed his helmet. But the thing is that how come he was here with You??"

Suharika just looked at her with widened eyes and then to all the people present near her who were giving her a 'Out with it' look.

Suharika-" Main hospital hi gayi the cutie(neha) aur uske baad woh... woh mujhe mil gaya hospital mein so he dropped me as it was getting late."

Amaya-" Woh Tera patient tha? Kya kar raha tha hospital mein?"

Sumi-" Nahi re... woh apne friend ko dekhne aaya tha. He met me there and then dropped me."

Shar-" How Do you know him????  As you were in Delhi for so long and then came back to mumbai some days ago." Even Sharanya stood on the other side of Sumi keeping a hand in her shoulder.

Sumi-"Dating App." Saying this she closed her eyes as she knew that now she is gone!!!

"WHAT!!!!! DATING APP!!!!!" This was echoed in the whole house because all the 5 girls shouted together.

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

Malhotra Mansion

Manik and Nandini were sitting on the terrace and talking randomly. Actually Manik was talking and Nandini was just listening to him and also lost in her own thoughts.

Manik-" Aur pata hai Nandini phir na Karan and Cabir mein ladai ho gayi thi. Both of them are very possessive for me. And unki ladai mein main phas jaata tha. I really wanted Karan to be present on my engagement. Tab ham sab saath hote. Me, Cabir Karan and Prithvi. But he had some important work. Ab na main usse iska badla toh pakka lunga... umm you now I have even thought about it also......" He turned towards her to see her lost somewhere. Manik had been seeing her a bit zoned out from the time he came back home. He wanted to ask her then only but kept quiet as all were there.

Manik-" Nandini...Nandini!!

Nandini came out of her trance and looked at him "Hmm haan"

Manik-"are you Okay? Kahan khoyi hui ho? Main tabse baat kiye jaa raha hoon and you are just sitting silently. Aur main shaam se dekh raha hoon that you are a zoning out a lot. Koi baat share karni hai mujhse?"

Nandini-" Manik... ummm.. Agar kabhi tumhe yeh pata lage ki jispar tum sabse zaada bharosa rakhte ho woh person uske laayak hi nahi hai, aur woh sirf apne matlab ke liye sab kar raha tha toh what will you do?"

Manik-" huhh... yeh Kya question hai Nandini. I don't think that I trust someone so easily. And agar koi mera trust jitta hai toh that person will be worth it. And rahi baat uss insaan yaa uske intensions ke galat hone ki toh woh uska gunaah hota hai. But we should never believe on everyone  wholly. In fact I have only 3 people in my life jinpar main aankh band karke trust kar sakta hoon. First is you, as you are a part of me, my life.
Second Cabir, he is like a mirror image of mine who always show me what to do.
Lastly... Mamu, as he has raised me up to be what I'm today. Unki kahi har baat Maine maani hai. Mom dad ke jaane ke baad I was shattered. But he was my support then and is with me till now. And I don't think that any of these 3 people can backstab me. And even if in the parallel world this happens then it would be my failure."

Listening to Manik just made Nandini numb and more worried. She was going to do something which was not only gonna save Manik in future but also break him apart. The thought of that only made her shudder. But now she was 101% sure that she won't let mamaji win in breaking Manik. She will tell the truth to Manik with proofs.

Nandini-" Manik... ek request thi. Woh your project with Mamaji uske details agar tum apne paas hi rakho toh acha hoga na. I mean tum mama ji se confidential information bhi share karte ho but don't you think it can be risky."

Manik-" Nandini.... Kya bol rahi ho yeh? And why will it be risky to share with mamu?"

Nandini-" Nahi.. . I meant that mamu ki company is a joint one na. And we even don't know the partner. Toh in case he tries to do some harm. And waise bhi Manik business mein relation ko NAHI laate. You are getting it na." She explaining him in different way as she needed to warn Manik.

Manik just smiled at her and nodded his head in a yes.
He suddenly tapped her from back. Nandini looked at him raising her one eyebrow asking 'what happened' to which he didn't replied. Then he tickled her a little on her waist.

Nandini-" he.hehe... maan.. Manik.. . Yeh Kya kar rahe ho?" She asked getting out of his hold.

Manik-" kya kar raha hoon Nandini?? Kuch bhi toh nahi."
He again held her and this time blew some air on her ears.

Nandini just picked up a pillow which was there beside her and hit him with it laughing.
Manik who was surprised for a second picked another pillow and started hitting her. They were having a pillow fight like small kids and enjoying a lot. Manik was running around the terrace and nandini was behind him trying to hit him. Finally Manik came near the mattress which was spread on the terrace and stopped. Nandini also came running behind him to see him standing she was going to hit him when he held her hand and pulled her with him, falling on the mattress with her on top of him.

Nandini-" Manik!!!!Aise kaun khichta hai? Abhi lag jaati toh.?" She was trying to calm her raging heart because of all the running and also this sudden pull.

Manik on the other hand was just staring her beautiful face shinning in the moon lit sky. He just held her more tightly and kissed her. While Nandini just gave in and got lost in the love of her lover.

Manik-" Always be with me. And Keep shinning for me this way." Saying this he kissed her forehead and caged her in his arms. Nandini just smiled and kissed his heart over the t-shirt closing the eyes.

Angel house

WHAT!!!!! DATING APP!!!!!" This was echoed in the whole house because all the 5 girls shouted together.

Suharika just closed her ears.

Preethi-" YOU MET RISHABH MURTHY ON A DATING APP !!!!"

Amaya-" Nandini Murthy ka bhai... RISHABH MURTHY. Kaise ??? Kab??? And hame kyun nahi pata yeh baat??"

Su-" Woh .... 3 months back, actually back in Delhi all those college mates of mine they were poking me to open a dating app and prank someone. Toh ek dost ne banaya tha. And then jo bhi search karke pehla insaan ayaa usko accept kar liya. Don't freak out uska bio data padha tha. Toh I got this guy named-"Prince R" toh maine accept kar liya. And then we chatted and all. I told this to Cutie  (Neha)."

They all looked at neha who just popped her eyes and shouted

Neha-" oyeee!!!!! Tune mere ko sirf prank k baare mein bataya tha. Not that you actually dating him. And tune kaha tha that you will just say 'Hi' and uske baad you will tell the truth to him." She said looking at everyone with a pout.

Ami-" You never told this to us."

Neha-" Main bhul gayi na. We got this Manik' problem. And mere ko laga isne apna prank khatam kar liya hoga. And she will tell you guys."

Manvi-" Tujhe kaam ka kuch yaad nahi rehta bhabhi. I will see you later. Abhi Sumi.. bol aage?" She again turned to Suharika who thought that she was saved.

Sumi-" Woh... phir usse baat kiya and one week tak chala. And then when I told him that it was a prank toh he said that he knew it from the start. Like he got an idea. But still he never flirted with me. Then we became friends. Ek baar baat karte karte he told about Manik and then I got to know that it was Rishab, Nandini's brother."

Preethi-" Toh tumne kabhi usse uska pura name nahi pucha??"

Sumi-" Nahi he told he was Rishu. So main wahi bulati thi. Baad mein pata laga that it was his friend who made his account on that app. He never used it until I messaged him."

Sharu-" hmmmm... Toh ab Kya scene hai? And how did you guys met today?"

sumi-" Actually when he got to know that I'm in Mumbai so he asked to meet me. Main tum Sab ko pehle batana chahti thi so I told him that I will first talk to my family and then meet you. But aaj woh sach mein hospital aaya tha apne dost ko dekhne who was hospitalized. He saw me there when I was just leaving my cabin. We had exchanged our mobile no. After that na. And deleted that account on dating app. So he saw my pic on whatsapp. He insisted on dropping me home. So thats how I came home with him." She completed her whole story and then looked at each and everyone.

M5 were looking at her with widened eyes. Then they at once jumped on her for a group hug making her get crushed.

M5-" We love you so much Sumi ❤❤"

After breaking the hug,

Amaya-" Sumihearts... are you guys "just friends"? Yaa... you know." She gave Suharika a teasing smirk while suharika rolled her eyes with a ting of blushy smile.

Shar-" Areee... Ammu, ofcourse they will be just friends.  But then smiley never initiated friendship with any guy. But Rishu is special na isliye friend. Hai na smiley." She said hugging her from a side and asking with an innocent face.

Manvi-" mere ko gaane ka mann kar raha hai. Main ek gaana sunau?" She said looking at everyone and winked at Neha at last.

Neha-" I will join in."

Manvi-" Suraj nikalta hai tere liye. Chanda mein dikhta hai  chehra Tera.."

Neha-" jabse bani tu.. bani..."

Neha/Manvi-" Rishu ki premika ka ka..  premikaaa..."

Singing this they were rotating around Suharika and then were joined by the rest 3 people. This song made Suharika turn into a complete 'red trafic light'.

Sumi-" Guysssss.... bas Ab. Bohot ho gaya. And... and it's nothing like that okay. Stop with your teasing." She was trying to break that chain and run away to her room but m5 didn't let that happen and at last hugged her again.

M5-" Comeon smiley... accept it na. We all are sooooooo happy for you. Now don't hide from us."

Sumi-" I seriously don't know guys. Haan issbaar Main ek chance de rahi hoon Rishu ko. Let's see, Abhi we are taking it slow." She said giving a small smile while everyone hugged her.

Preethi-" whatever it is, just remember we are there with  you."

Sharanya-" Guys let's get back to sleep as tomorrow is a big day. Mittal Bros are going to meet Mr. Nishant Roy. And even we have to be there."

Neha-" Hmm... I hope tomorrow  nothing goes wrong. And he get into our trap." They all went to their room.

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

MITTAL INDUSTRIES

We can see 3 people are arguing  over something. Ohhh no not 3 only girl is shouting or say warning a person while there was a girl trying to make them calm down.
.
.
.
.
.
Neha-" Listen to me very clearly Mr. Ruhaan Mittal I don't want any problem or mistake in this plan. So Do you better keep yourself calm and for godsake do not start your overacting there." She said pointing her finger near his eyes.

Ruhaan-" I don't do any overacting Neha. Ask your Ami she will let you know how good was I in acting back in college days. And you don't need to tell me how to conduct a meeting. As I have done that many times."

Neha-" Oyeee... why are you dragging my AMI in it? And dare you call her AMI. That's only my right. This is not just a business meet, It's a trap for which we need to plan. You are the one who is suppose to change the papers and you better do it correctly."

Ami-" CB, Ruhaan plz not now. We can have this fight some other day. And Ruhaan whatever CB said is right. You have to be careful. And where is Shona (Manvi)?"

There we see a girl is adjusting  the hidden camera in a pen stand.

Ami-" Shona... Kya kar rahi hai tabse? Is your work done?"

Manvi-" yup!! ! All done. I'm here."

Shantanu-" Why are we fixing the cameras now. I mean this is just the first meet, not like Mr. Roy will confess everything to us now." He asked getting in the cabin.

Manvi-"Idiot because if in future Mr. Roy flips and says that he never signed these papers and all such stuff then we should have a proof. He is very clever. He can do anything to manipulate anyone. So we need to be extra careful."

Ruhaan-" Aur ham jo papers exchange karne wale hai uska Kya? Even that will come."

Neha-" How can you be so dumb?  Have a look NanJu ne saare cameras ka angle ek taraf rakha raha hai. And none of it is on the table. Utni akal tum logon ko lagani hai that how will you change. And baaki kaam edit se ho jayega." She said with a tight lipped smile. While Manvi laughed and Amaya just hid her smile by covering her mouth.

Shaan-" Waise Neha tum yahan kaise?? ? I mean Preeyu was suppose to come na?" He asked Neha as he was trying to call Preethi from the morning but she didn't received his calls.

Manvi-" As my Pretty is not interested in talking to a duffer like you."

Shaan-" Ab Maine Kya kiya? Why she don't want to talk to me?" He asked in a crying tone.

Amaya-" Shaan, baad mein plz. Isbaare mein we will talk afterwards. And I think Shona you should also leave. You have a meeting with your boss na. So you attend and meet us here after that. Tabtak main aur CB yahan hai."

Manvi-" aaagggghh... that khadoos ussko Maine nahi chodna hai aaj. Acha khaasa I was gonna take a leave today and he conducted this important meet. Main chalti hoon. Bye all and all the best." She hugged Amaya and Neha and gave a whatever look to MITTAL bros and ran.
