AT THE DOORWAY OF THE ROOM

Nandini stood outside waiting for the rest to come. In, what say 10 minutes, all of them came and stood in front of her. She gestured a man to get the men to wear the coats whereas she herself took a coat for Manan. She now dropped to her knees and got him to where his tie.

Nandini (while putting his tie): please behave properly for me. This project is very important for me so as for you. Don't put me down.

Manan (while getting Nandini on her knees): mom, I love you. Toh intna toh banta hai upke liye. So don't worry about that. But tells these people to behave.

Nandini (while helping Manan to put his coat): Manan.... behave. You forgot what I said.

Manan (sighing): fine.

Nandini smiled at him and kissed him on his cheek. Soon all of them entered the room.

INSIDE THE ROOM

Mother: Good morning all of you.

Nandini: good morning mother.

Mother: all of do have a seat.

all of them sat down.

Mother: so, where is your husband? I have heard a lot about him.

Nandini (pointing towards Manik): That's Manik my husband. We recently got married. And that's my son, Manan.

Mother: oh, that's your son. Doesn't look like you.

Manan (glaring at her): what do you mean by I don't look like one. Do I look like a girl for you.

Nandini (turning towards Manan and glaring): Manan.... what did I say before we entered the room.

Manan (sighing): fine... please forgive me mother.

Mother: oh that's alright. I know that you are attached to your mother a lot, so just thought of seeing how far you can go. But I must say, I haven't seen a boy like, Handsome and protective at the same time. May Lord be always with you.

Nandini: Thank you mother. So, shall we start?

Mother: sure.

With this they started a small meeting. It was a meeting for designing a new asylum for the people. The place was getting old, plus it was getting too week to withstand any calamity. FAB8 were impressed with Nandini's skill in business. The way she presented the blue print was wonderful. After what say about 20 minutes, the meeting commenced.

Mother: okay then, one of my people will come to Murthy Industries to talk about the financial formalities. Anyways, it was a pleasure I meeting you.

Nandini: same to you mother. Hope my company and I would be able to live upto your expectations.

Mother: I am pretty sure you will. Anyways Manan, do take care of your mother. She might look strong to the whole world but she is fragile too at time. And you need to be a pillar supporting her at her bad times.

Manan: no matter how old I get, I will never forget my mothers role in my life. I am what I am because of her. I will never let her fall. She is my guardian angle so am I to her.

Mother: may your pair be always together. So bye all of you. It prayer time for me.

With this all of them left the room and moved towards the gate.

AT THE ENTRENCE

Cabir: wow Nandini, kitne aache se tumne who meeting sambhala. I must say you have better business tactics than Manik.

Manik glared at Cabir for the comment.

Mukthi (looking at Manik): why are you glaring at Nandini like that. What he has said is not at all wrong.

Nandini (smiling): okay, you guys don't have to butter me. Just shoot whatever you guys want. I have cracked a deal so you can ask me to take you anywhere you want.

Alya: accha then we will go to a mall.

All the boys except Manan : not again.

Manan: well I have no problem going for shopping unless we are going for "THE ESCAPE ROOM" right after that.

Nandini: then its decided we are going to hit the mall of NYC.

Alya: NYC?

Manan: shame on you... NYC means New York City.

Dhruv: no I can't take shopping any more. I go every single week with her for shopping.

Cabir: exactly... it takes hours for women to get done with shopping as soon as they enter a store.

Nandini: women have their own need and one them is shopping. Like you men love to hit the bars at a weekend, they prefer hitting a mall. Waise the place where we are going to has a good chain of restaurants.

Manan: exactly dude, we will hog while they shop.

Cabir: okay then, I am okay with it.

Manik: ah, when Mr. Dhawan hear food all his ideology goes in the dustbin. Weise what is this escape room you are saying, Manan?

Manan: well its sort of a game in New York City that you would love to go. You get locked in a room for an hour. You have to search the way for exiting the room with clues in your hands. All the clues will lead you to a key that would open the door. But one thing, you would have to within 60 minutes or you will get locked to 30 minutes.

Cabir: what, we get locked in a room for an extra 30 minutes?

Manan: don't worry about that, those people will help you in between if you get stuck.

Nandini: accha lets leave for Kings Plaza Mall in Flatbush.

AT KINGS PLAZA

Nandini: okay then, we will meet you guys at the food court after 2 hours.

Alya: no Nandini, its 3 hours.

Nandini: okay then 3 hours. And Manan, don't even think of eating those junk food as I am tired taking you to the doctor the next day.

Manan: let's see if I will be able to control my hormones.

Nandini: okay then, go and eat whatever you want. I will do 2 things after you do the same.

Manan: and what are those 2 things.

Nandini: one, it will be your deer father cleaning your puke and taking you to the hospital. Two, from then you will be forbidden in using your video games.

Manan: no you won't.

Nandini: oh did I say that? Yes I will.

Manan: fine then... (pouting) me not eating bad food.

Nandini: stop trying that over me. It won't work. Girls, lets leave.

PRECAP: THINK WHAT WILL HAPPEN AT THE MALL.
