"Appa...amma..main kaisi lag rahi hu"she asks twirling around like a kid wearing cute frock

"My daughter is looking like a princess.."harish says pecking her forehead while she gave him beautiful smile..

Avantika was  admiring the father-daughter duo...

"Mam..see this..this is our latest collection..and this colour will suit u too"salesman says showing her another dress...

"No thank u..meri shopping ho gayi hai"nandini dismissed him and turn around only to see her parents looking at her in confusion..

"Nandu...what happen baccha..why u rejected that dress..it was not bad"avantika asks when salesman left from there..

"Amma..voh dress itni bhi acchi nahi thi..mani won't like it"nandini reasoned while they were still confuse..

"Why"they questioned raising there eyebrows..

"Because it was so exposed..mani ne agar voh dress dekha hota naa toh voh salesman pakka gaya hota.."nandini says pointing towards that salesman who was attending other customers..

(The dress which nandini rejected)

"Lekin tum toh saare short dresses pehanti thi na..phir ab achanak yeh badlaav kyun"avantika asks with frown making nandini nervous..

"Actually mom...main jab london main thi tab main aur manik cabir aur navya ke saath mall gaye the..tab maine kaafi choti aur expose dress pehni thi..manik even scolded me for this but then we were getting late isliye he allowed me..phir main jab mall main washroom gayi tab vaha ek ladka aaya..he started misbehaving with me..he...he even tore..tore my dress from back..main..main bohot dar gayi thi amma..lekin phir manik mujhe dhundte dhundte vaha aaya and he saved me"nandini says while sobbing..avantika hugs her tightly...

Both harish and avantika were having tears in their eyes..

"Shh..bas..u are our strong daughter right..voh ladka ab toh apne kiye ki saza bhugat raha hoga jail main..toh ab kyun tum ro rahi ho.."avantika says wiping her tears while hearing avantika nandini looked at her and gave her fake smile..

"Amma...voh ladka jail main toh kya..is duniyaa main hi nahi hai...he died next day itself..and i know that who was behind his death..and he deserve that pain amma..aur mere mani ne usse vahi diya joh voh deserve karta tha..Painful Death"Nandini thought remembering that incident where manik gave him worst death in front of her..she remember how she cried that day and how manik consoled her and took away her virginity along with her pain..

That day was the most blissfull day for her where he removed all the touches of that bastard and replaced it with his feather like kisses...

She still remember his words

Taara...bhul jao ki tumhare saath yeh sab kabhi hua tha..bhul jao ki usne tumhe kabhi chua tha...bas yaad rakho toh mujhe..aur mere iss pyaar ko...humare pyaar ko..aaj tum puri tarah se meri ho gayi ho taara..aur ab tumhe mujhse koi nahi cheen sakta..koi bhi nahi..

She wiped her tears and distracted her parents by talking about random things..

"Amma..main change karke aati hu"nandini says..

After a while..

Fab4 enter inside....alya and mukti walked towards girls section while manik starts looking around...

He found nandini in the food section..she was eating as if she had not eaten from ages..there were variety of dishes in front of her..

Harish and avantika were confused looking at her...they still did'nt understand her behaviour..

"Nandu..aaram se baccha..itni jaldi jaldi kyun khaa rahi ho..aaram se khao..food kahi bhaga nahi jaa raha.."harish says when he saw his daughter coughing a little...

"Nandini..kya hai yeh...tum aise kyun behave kar rahi ho jaise ki tum yeh pehli baar kha rahi ho"avantika asks with a frown..

"Mhhh..amma...main yeh pehli baar toh nahi lekin bohot time baad kha rahi hu...mani mujhe itna junk food khane nahi deta...he had decided only one cheat day in a month...aur abhi voh cheat day aane main 15 din baaki hai..."she says munching on burger...

"Accha miss murthy"suddenly she stiffened hearing his hard voice from behind...

"Mani"she says in whisper and then slowly turn around to see manik along with cabir..

Cabir's eyes were on something else while manik's eyes were glaring at his taara..

"I miss u"she says while walking towards him and hugs him tightly..

"Yeah right..u were missing me..that's why u were busy in eating this unhealthy food...."he asks breaking the hug..

"Mani..why are u getting angry..isme meri galti nahi hai..main toh yeh khaana bhi nahi chahti thi..lekin amma appa ne mujhe force kiya khanna ke liye..main unka dil kaise dukha sakti hu..i m a good girl right"she says pouting cutely and then grinned at him with a sheepish smile while on other side harish and avantika were gaping at nandini in shock...

*Yeh humari hi beti hai na*they thought looking at each other...

"Stop it nandini..dusro pe blame daalna band karo..how many times i have warned u..lekin nahi...mani ki toh sunni hi nahi hai..haina"he says this time angrily while she just stood there with her head down..

It was looking like a classroom scene where a teacher is scolding his student for his mistake and student is looking down like a obedient kid...

"Sorry na mani..i was not able to control looking at this much food..maaf kar do..preety plz"she says making the most innocent face while he just sighs...
He pulled her in a hug while she too hugged him keeping her head on his chest..

"Accha mani..tum yaha kaise"nandini asks after breaking the hug looking at him with raised eyebrow..

"Arey haa..voh cabir ne"he stopped in mid realising cabir's absence..

"Yeh cabir kaha chala gaya"manik says and looks around..

"Mani..there he is"he heard nandini and looked ahead only to see him sitting beside nandini's parents ..

He was eating nandini's food..

"Umm..so yummy"he moans taking the bite of pizza while harish and avantika were giving him weird look

"Mani..he is eating my food"nandini cribbed like a kid while manik just sighs holding his forehead..

Manik walks towards them and smacks cabir's head from back..

"Kon hai"cabir says and looks at manik who was glaring at him..

"Ohh..hi manik..tum kab aaye..ab aa hi gaye ho toh come sit..join us...we will not mind..haina uncle"manik just rolls his eyes while harish and avantika gave him*what the hell* look...

"Cabir..get up..is this the way u behave..."manik scolded him..

"Yaar manik..i was hungry..isliye control nahi hua..but now i m full..chalo..shopping karte hai"he says getting up and nandini inmediately took cabir's place..

She was going to take the last slice of pizza when she felt a hand on her wrist stopping her..

She bite her tongue and then looked up only to see her monster's hard glare..

"Mani..last bite..plz plz..."she says cutely pouting...

Manik just nods his head in disbelief..

He took the last slice of pizza...nandini thought he was going to feed her so she open her mouth closing her eyes..

But instead of feeding nandini manik put that slice in cabir's mouth..

Harish and avantika giggles and hearing their giggling nandini opened her eyes and saw cabir eating her slice..

She looks at manik with sad pout and immediately pearls formed in her eyes...

"Ahhaahuuuuuu"she starts crying like a baby keeping her head on the table while manik just sighs rolling his eyes..

He knows his drama queen quite well...

"Nandu..shaant ho jaa..tuje pizza chahiye naa..yeh le"cabir spoke and before manik could understand anything cabir stopped the waiter who was passing by their table with someone else's order..he picked up the pizza slice from that tray and fed nandini immediately while others just gaped at him in shock including the waiter himself who was standing there not able to understand anything....

"Sir..yeh"waiter was going to say something but cabir just shows him his hand stopping him.

"Kitne ka pizza tha"he asks..

"Sir 820"waiter replied..

Cabir nods at him and took out his wallet..

He gave him the money but waiter frowned seeing the amount..

"Sir..yeh toh sirf Rs 205  hai"waiter says with a frown .

"Haa toh..humne slice bhi toh ek hi liya hai..toh uske hisaab se hue naa 205..ab jao..aur yeh pizza jiska hai usse yeh 205 rs bhi de dena"cabir says while manik just wanted to bang his head on wall...

"Aww cabir..i love u soo much..tum kitne acche ho..varna yeh monster..ek slice tak nahi khilaya..huh"Nandini taunts manik while manik smiles lightly seeing her angry pout..

"Don't worry baby sis..i can understand ur condition..aakhir tum aur main ek hi boat pe savaar hai..food lovers..zindabad"cabir says and shouts like doing naarebaazi while other people standing in the food court looked at him with weird look...

"Enough!!!"manik finally says shutting both brother-sister duo while both just gave him *U enough* look and starts gossipping...

Harish and avantika smiles at manik awkwardly as they still did'nt know him properly..

"Hello uncle..hello aunty"manik finally greeted them slightly embarassed.. because he fails to acknowledge them as he was busy in scolding this two kids

"Umm..hello beta..ghar pe sab theek"harish asks with a smile trying to remove the awkwardness in the air..

"Yes uncle..sab theek hai..aap theek hai..aur aunty aap..aap apni bp ki medicine roz leti hai na"manik asks while harish and avantika were quite amused listening him..

Then they understood that nandini must have told him about avantika's bp problem..

"We are fine beta..aur nandini ke hote hue avantika davai naa le aisa toh ho nahi sakta"harish replied while manik just gave them smile..

Manik looked at nandini who was ignoring him..

He held her hand and drag her outside the food section while cabir gives harish and avantika a nervous smile..

"Main..main abhi aaya"he says and walks out from there hurriedly..

****************************
"Mujhe tumse baat nahi karni.."nandini says as soon as he drag her in one corner..

"Accha..lekin sun toh sakti ho na"he asks while she choose to stay silent..

Manik sighs and held her hand..

"Taara..u know naa how much i love u..i can't even take a single breathe without u...tumhe ek kharoch bhi aa jaati hai toh main pagal ho jaata hu..mujhe kisi cheez ka hosh hi nahi rehta..by eating this unhealthy food u are playing with ur health which i will not tolerate..*he pulls her closer and cups her face*jaan ho tum meri...meri rooh ho tum..aur agar meri jaan ko thodi si bhi takleef hui naa toh main sab barbaad kar dunga..khudko bhi"he spoke sincerely looking in her eyes while she just stares at him and found only one thing for her...Pyaar..behad aur beshumar pyaar..

Nandini pulled him for a passionate kiss..

She sucks his lower lip while he sucked her upper lip...

Both were so lost in each other that they forgot that they were in public place...

Both broke apart..

Manik hugged her with all his love and affection while she melts in his arms....

Mukti who was passing from there saw manik hugging a girl..his eyes were closed in utter peace..

She was too much numb to react anything..

HER MANIK BHAI..THAT TOO WITH A GIRL..

Impossible..

"Manik bhai..voh bhi ek ladki ke saath...god..it..it means he is in relationship..lekin yeh blue dress vaali ladki hai kon..iske dressing sense se itna toh pata chalta hai that she is modern..malhotra's ke level ki hi lag rahi hai..lekin bhai ne yeh baat humse chupayi kyun"mukti thought...

(Nandini's dress)

She left from there giving them last glance...

On otherside cabir who was walking around mall looking for the girls but got stop in the middle seeing navya with a boy...

He frowns and walks towards them...

"Navya"cabir calls her from behind...

"Cabir...tum yaha.."she asks all surprise..

"Voh sab chodo..tum batao yeh ladka kon hai"he asks with little jealousy...

"Yeh..yeh mera Friend hai..Pritish..hum dono saath main junior college main padhte the...and pritish..he is cabir..my boyfriend.."she introduced both of them...

Pritish hugs cabir..

"Don't worry bro..navya is like my sister.."pritish whispers in his ears and hearing him cabir got relax and gave him a smile...

"Navya...ab tum yaha ho toh chalo..main tum alya aur mukti se milata hu"cabir says..

Hearing him navya nod and asks pritish to join them which he did gladly..

Trio walk towards Alya who was looking around for mukti..

"Alya..muku kaha hai"cabir asks when he found her alone..

"Pata nahi cabir..main bhi usse hi dhundh rahi thi"alya says..

"Ohh..accha meet my girlfriend..navya..and navya she is alya.."cabir says while alya smiles seeing navya..

"Finally we met..pata hai..humne cabir ko kitne baar kaha tumse milane ko..and today finally usne tumhe humse milaya..u are looking so preety navya"alya says with a smile..

"Thank u so much alya..vaise..yeh pritish hai..my friend"navya introduced pritish to alya..

Both greeted each other formally..

Mukti came there lost in thoughts..

Alya saw her and nudged her asking *what*

Mukti just says*nothing* ..

Cabir introduced navya to mukti and all three girls got gelled up with each other easily.

They were gossipping about fashion brands..etc when suddenly someone from behind kept hands on mukti's eyes...

"Who is this"she spoke..

"Ur bestfriend"mukti turn and found soha looking at her with wide smile..

"SOHA"Mukti shouts in shock making all startled with her shout...

"What happen..why are u shouting.."soha asks all confused..

"OMG..how can u hide this from me..."mukti spoke and hugs her tightly in happiness..

(Soha's dress)

Omg..matlab manik bhai and soha are in relationship Mukti thought with wide smile..
