Next morning was the same. Manan woke up did their romance and then a little work, watered the garden and then headed to college. They came back at evening and after taking some rest they continued their work.     

Feeling hungry they ordered pizza for dinner. While eating that Nandini said to Manik.     

Nan-see we can do 2 things.........since kaal Sunday hai......so either we sleep now and wake up early tmrw to complete the entire work coz we just can't stretch it for more days..........or else we work till late tonight and wake up late tmrw.

Manik while munching his food was thinking abt it. After a good thought process he said.     

Ma-late tak kaam krte hai and then tmrw we will wake up late.

Nan-okay.

They completed their dinner and then started their rest of work, which included routine cleaning. It was around 2 am when they completed their work. Huffing and dusting her hand Nandini said.

Nan-chalo.......hogaya ab sirf kapde rakhne hai that's it.

Both being tired they fell on bed and slept soon. Next day Nandini woke up first and made herself busy with cleaning the house. Which included dusting,sweeping, putting clothes in washing machine, cooking.

Around 2.00 pm Manik woke up. He got fresh and then joined Nandini. They had their lunch and then took rest for 1/2 n hour. Getting up Nandini held his wrist pulling him up and saying.

Nan-chalo utho........we have to work.

Being lazy Manik got up and back hugged her and started walking towards their room.    

Reaching there Nandini said him.

Nan-I will iron the clothes and you are placing that okay.......

Ma-okay madam.

Then she told him to get their bags. He got them and placed that on their bed and then he started removing that from bag making their whole room a mess while Nandini connected the iron.

She started pressing their clothes,folding it perfectly,hanging it in hanger and giving him who was placing that in their cupboard.      They were busy in their work since 1 hour 15 mins when their bell rang. Looking at each other Manik said.

Ma-I will see......

Nandini bobbed her head and continued her work while Manik went down and opened the door to see a complete stranger. A women in typical traditional attire with bindi and dark patch of vermilion on her hairline was waiting for the door to open.

He looked at her and the lady started the conversation by joining her hands in front of him.

L-namaste.......madam ji hai.

Manik bobbed his head in acknowledgment and reply and then closed the door. Coming back to Nandini and before he could say anything Nandini asked.

Nan-kaun hai........?

Ma-I don't know.......some strange lady........ that is asking for you.........go.

Nandini frowned and kept her iron at one side and headed to move downstairs but before going she said him.

Nan-meine waha kapde rakhe hai.......keep that and don't touch the iron it is hot.

She came down opened the door and saw the lady who was waiting for her. Seeing Nandini she smiled and greeted her by joining her hands.

L-namaste....

In reply Nandini too joined her hands and said.     

Nan-namaste......ji aap kaun........?

The lady smiled and started talking a little loudly (as per her habit) with her thin voice.      

L-me (Marathi word) radha tai.........idhar aaju baju wale ghar mei kaam krti hai saaf safai ka... aap log idhar naya rehne ko aaya hai na.....

Nandini bobbed her head in yes while she continued.

L-mere ko malum tha.........kitne time se dekh rhi thi yeh ghar bante........abhi yahan chel phel dekhi toh mere ko pata chal gaya yahan pe ab koi rehta hai............aap ko kaam wali bai mangta hai kya.

Nandini thought of it and said.

Nan-ek min yahi rukiye.

Nandini came to Manik and said.

Nan-she is a maid..........working in the houses in this area..........

Ma-do we need one.

Nan-off course.........I mean we have college as well toh thoda ghar k kaam k liye toh we need.    

Ma-okay then........appoint her.

Nan-okay.

She came back down,opened the door and let that lady in. While the lady was looking around the house Nandini asked.

Nan-aap kitna paisa leti hai ek mahine ka.......?

L-pahile aap yeh batao aapko kya kya kaam kara na hai.

Nan-wahi jadu,pocha,dusting aur bartan.......    

L-aur kapde........?

Nan-kapde ka kuch fix nhi hai.......washing

The lady looked around the house and then calculating she said.

L-aapka ghar bada hai toh mahine kha dhai hajar (2500 rs) legi............

Nan(confused)-dhai hazar......(2500)?

She thought of it and then called out Manik.      

Nan-MANIK........MANIK.....

He too replied back loudly to let her know that he heard her.

Ma-HAAN.........

And soon he was descending down the stairs. He came to her and asked.

Ma-haan kya hova......

Nan-she is asking 2,500 for a month.........    

Ma-what all work you have said her.

The lady frowned as she doesn't understand English while Manan were serious.

Nan-that only,crockery and kitchen work, dusting,sweeping and cleaning the house.      

Manik was thinking abt it and then he said.       

Ma-haan toh it's okay.......say yes.

Nan-but so much for a month........that too when we are just 2.

Ma-Nandini we are at the posh area of Mumbai plus have you forgotten the terrace upstairs that too has to be cleaned so that much is okay.

Nandini thought of it while chewing the skin of her inner lips. She was going to decide but Manik interrupted her.

Ma-just don't appoint her for now ask her to come tmrw.....take a her name and address details just to check her background.      

Nandini bobbed her head while the lady was just waiting for them to talk to her. Nandini turned to her and said.

Nan-aap kaal se aaye kaam pe..........

L-matlab dhai hajar chalega na........

Nan-haan.

L-mei ek baar ghar dekh lu kaam ka pata chale.

Nandini agreed and showed her the living room where actually they were standing and said.      

Nan-yeh hall hai.........yaha pe sab saaf krna hai...........     

Showing all that they headed to kitchen and Nandini said.      

Nan-yeh kitchen hai..........bartan k sath sath gas bhi saaf krna hai roz aur niche bhi pocha lagana hai......

The lady looked around and once she was done she moved her head in okay and then they headed upstairs. While climbing the stairs the house help asked.

L-yeh seedi (stairs) bhi saaf krna hoga na?

Nan-haan.

Meanwhile Manik was in the room keeping clothes. Opening the room to her Nandini said.     

Nan-yeh room hai.......idhar bhi sab jadu pocha sab krna hai..........

The lady looked at the bathroom and asked.      

L-aur bathroom?

Nan-bathroom aap 2 din mei ek baar dhona.       

L-thik hai.

They walked from there and Nandini took her upstairs to show the terrace. While climbing the stairs Nandini in conversation asked abt her address and all the details which she thought was necessary. Showing her the terrace she said.

Nan-yeh sab kaam hai aap ka.

L-thik hai.......

Then they came back to living room and the lady asked.

L-aap ko kitne baje ka kaam chahiye?

Nan-aap subhe kitne baje aati hai?

L-subha 7 baje se mei kaam pe nikalti hai. Fir ek madam k yahan kaam krti ho.......unka kaam thoda hai toh aaram aaram se krti ho kyu ki fir sava ghanta koi kaam nhi hai.......sab ko 9 baje k baad chahiye.

Nan-haan kyu.

L-nhi woh baki memsahib ko neend puri krni hoti hai toh late bulate hai.

Nan-nhi mere college rehta hai na isliye........    

L(shocked)-aap padai krti hai..........mere ko laga.

And she pat her forehead for once and then said.

L-thik hai mei kaal se aati hai.........

Nan-ek min........aap ka phone number de do......kabhi zarurat padi toh.......

L-haan.......

She gave her the number and then Nandini came to the door so that when the lady goes she can close the door. Cmg to the door the lady turned around and said.

L-waise aap ka naam kya hai?

Nan-Nandini........

L-Nandini.......aacha naam hai.......aapka ghar bhi bahut aacha hai.

Nandini just gave her a smile and then closed the door. She joined Manik and he asked.     

Ma-hogaya sab.......... 

Nan-haan........ I have showed her the work she will come from tomorrow.

Ma-good.......you will get a helping hand now.     

Nan-hhhmm........

They resumed the work and in btwn Manik gave the details of the house help to his trusted man to get her background and at early evening they were done with complete work. Now they were completely settled to start a normal living.

Getting tired they sat on sofa and were munching chips and biscuits along with soft drink as they were hungry as well. They were watching tv while Nandini was making a list of things that she needs. After a long pause she said.

Nan-sab kaam hogaya hai.....bas ek hi baki hai.      

Ma-ab kya?

Nan-woh mei kar lungi.......tum bas ek carpenter ko bola lena.

Ma-carpenter?

Their conversation was interrupted by the door bell. Nandini opened the door and 3 men's were there. Nandini looked at them and they initiated.

M-hum mall se hai.......aap k shoe rack ki delivery dene aaye hai.

Nan-ohhh.

She left the door half open and came to Manik.       

Nan-shoe rack has arrived.

Ma-oohhh......

He got up and both headed towards the door. Manik lead the way and he let them enter. A man well dressed up enter first and behind him 2 normal man carrying the shoe rack entered.      

Once they entered they were heading in but Nandini told them to place the shoe rack at the passage only beside door. Placing that they asked.

M-yeh thik hai?

Nandini opened the door completely to see if the door and shoe rack are banging or not but still she said.

Nan-thoda sa aur move karo andar ki taraf.     

They moved and after a few shifting it was done. Once done Manik asked her.

Ma-thik hai?

Nan-yes.

Ma-okay thank you.

And he gave them some tip. The man left and Nandini opened the plastic from it. They decided to call for dinner so that they can sleep. Manik called for a proper dinner while Nandini set their footwear in the shoe rack. Food was arrived. They had that and then were sitting in living room chilling.

On the other hand fab4 arrived at Malhotra mansion and the butler informed that Manik was not at home. They didn't inquire much abt it as they knew he might be with Nandini but still they called him to ask if he will come back soon or not. Cabir dialled his number and Manan who were pulling each other's leg and laughing stopped when Manik's phone rang. They looked at the caller id and sat straight.      

Ma-hello........   

C-kider hai bey tu?

Manik in fluk said.

Ma-ghar pe.

Cabir laughed sarcastically while Nandini smirked mischievously and got up from there.     

C-very funny.......mei tere ghar pe hi ho aur tera butler keh rha hai tu ghar pe nhi hai.

While Manik was listening him Nandini came behind him and took his free ear and bite it making him hiss which cabir heard. While Manik was replying.

Ma-haan woh mei Malhotra mansion mei nhi ho........

He was saying further while Nandini started tickling his crook of neck carefully with her grown up nails making him giggle.

Ma-meine ghar change........(aahhhehehe) (laughing) kr liya hai.

While Nandini had pierced her hair in his ear making him shriek out of tickling and fear of sudden feeling in his ear. Manik moved his phone from his ear and said.

Ma-Nandini.......

And he showed her his big eyes and continued talking while cabir was hearing everything.     

Ma-haan bol.

But Nandini pinched him at the side of his waist making him flinch in slight pain but still he tried to concentrate on the phone call.

C-naya ghar?

Ma-haan I shifted from........

He was again interrupted coz Nandini sneaked her fingers in his armpit and started tickling him so abruptly ending the call.

Ma-kaal baat krte hai......bye.

He kept the call and Nandini knew now he will not leave her so she was ready to run while Manik banged his phone on couch to catch her. He got up saying.

Ma-masti chadi hai tumhe.

Nandini was at the back of couch and Manik was at the front. He pressed his lips inwardly and said.

Ma-wait I will show you.

Nandini laughed and ran upstairs while Manik followed her. Both were laughing wholeheartedly. She came in their room and threw the pillow on him to save herself. While Manik holded that.

They were having their time. Finally Manik caught hold of Nandini (backwardly). He twirled her around while their were laughing continuously. He fell on bed along with her.      

They stopped laughing but were huffing. Getting the chance Manik hovered over her and both looked at each other. Decreasing the distance btwn them he said.

Ma-acting naughty with me.

With this he reduced the remaining distance as well and started kissing her on her lips while Nandini fisted his hair.

Done for tonight.....bye.
