Excited Nandini was literally dancing on her toes while getting ready for the photoshoot.

"Aaj mera photoshoot hai! Aiyye!!  Mazza ayegaaa!", She danced and picked her cards and money which Manik always make sure she have with her for any emergency and Manik's mobile.

"Ab dekhna maain kitni mast mast pics click katwati hun! Huh! Kya Prerna kya Airah! Sab mery fan hogey!", Flipping her hair in style she came out of the room.

"Aiyoo! Main cabin sey bahar kaisey jau! Everyone will know ki main yaha thi! Monstu ko pata chal gaya toh!", She thought but suddenly an idea came to her mind.

"Monstu ki hoddie pehan leti hu! Aur stole sey face cover kar leti! Fir kisi ko pata nahi chalega!", Covering herself she came out and as that floor has only Manik's cabin so she went to lift and finally came out of the building.

She took an auto and reached the address. Shashank was already waiting for her with all the props 

"Hello!", Nandini said with a cute smile.

"Ma'am welcome! Welcome! Finally a photoshoot of Mrs. Manik Malhotra! Aapko pata hai apki pics k liye kitni baar bola mainey Manik sir but he always said aap student hai toh avi aap sirf padai par concentrate krna chahti hai! I'm happily shocked ki aap aayi!"

"Haa wo toh hai! But this is my first time so I don't know how to do all this!"

"Uski aap fikar mat karo! I'll take care of everything you just have to smile and be confident!"

She nodded and finally they started her makeup.

First it was difficult but Shashank knew whose wife she is so he patiently taught her to pose and they clicked amazing pics.

On the other side, after jamming Cabir said, "Manik! We have a photoshoot scheduled in half an hour so are you up for it?"

"Haa, okay! But let me work on these tunes after that we'll leave!"

"Cool! I'll inform Shashank then!"

Cabir called Shashank.

"Hey, Shashank! We had a photoshoot scheduled, remember? We'll be there in an hour, cool?"

"Yeah, sir! Infact I'm waiting for you guys eagerly! Aisey daily thodey hota hai that we get to shoot Manik sir and Nandini ma'am! Manik sir toh ma'am ko humesa industry sey dur rakhtey hai! That inki bas chup chup kar hi pics media mey aati hai! Aaj finally they'll have a photoshoot! They gives major couple goals!", Excited Shashank keep on blabbering confusing Cabir toh the core.

"Hold on! Kya Manik sir, Nandini ma'am? What are you talking about?"

"You don't know?", He asked in shock, "Nandini ma'am is here right now! She wanted her photo to be clicked! Infact ab tak avi toh she's getting ready for Indian look!"

"Damn Nandu! Manik ko pata chala toh he'll kill you and me, baby!", Cabir muttered in his breath.

"Listen! Shashank! Don't let her go anywhere! Naah ussey kahi janey dena naah hi yeh baat bhaar jaani chiye that Nandini is there! No one should get to know this, get that? Keep her busy in something or other but don't you dare let her go anywhere and let any stranger talk to her!", Cabir warned him and got a 'Yes-sir' in reply.

He messaged fab 3.

"Come out without telling Manik! Emergency!"

They came and Mukti asked, "What happened, Cabir?"

"Guys, Nandu! Wo Shashank k pass hai for her photoshoot!", He dropped the bomb.

"What nonsense! May be she's the fake one!", Alya pointed out.

"No! She isn't! She called from Manik's mobile which she took from before we were leaving!"

"Damn! Now what?"

"I'm going to fetch her! Cover up for me! Manik ko pata nahi chalna chiye!"

"No! Wait Cabir! First of all tu nhi jayega! I'll call Abhi! He will reach fast yaha sey jyda time lagega! And secondly, tujhey lagta hai Manik sey you can hide?", Mukti said.

"Wo gussa karega Nandu par!"

"But Cabir we should tell him! We all know naa hi Nandu Manik sey chupati hai naa hi 

chupa sakti hai! One look and ussey pata chal jayega that she went out!", Dhruv stated the fact.

"Ok! Cool! Avi nhi after shoot and all we'll tell him! Did you messaged Abhi?"

"Yup! He's on his way!"

"Cool then!"

Abhi reached the studio asap. He went in and found her posing for the pic.

"Nandu!", He said and Nandini's eyes widen.

She slowly turned towards him, "Aap?"

"Haa main! Now, Shashank is the shoot over?", He asked Shashank.

"Yup sir! 2 hrs sey we're shooting almost sarey pics le liye hai Indian to Western.!"

Abhi gave a tight smile to him and said, "Toh Nandu? Chaley baby? Manik wait kar rha hai!"

"Monstu!", She asked in horror and he nodded.

"Makeup niklwa do iska Shashank! Now! And fab5 will be here make sure you don't utter a word about her photoshoot in front of Manik!"

As he said next moment the make-up artist started removing the makeup. 

After that keeping her head down she followed him. Before they come out Abhi covered her face with scarf and finally drove to her temporary hiding spot.

After shoot and work fab5 was returning back to Mansion when Manik cribbed, "Yaar! Mujhey nhi jaana! Meri baby akeley hai kab sey! Main uss dusri ladki pass nhi jaunga! We're arranging the party tomorrow and end her game.! Meri baby kab tak aisey rahegi!"

"Buddy! Mat jaa! Nandu k pass jaa! We'll tell everyone that you're out of country for a project also this will help that girl to proceed her plan and we can catch her easily!", Dhruv said from the backseat.

Manik who was driving said, "Waah mery bhai! Tu hi mera sacha yaar hai!"

All laughed except Cabir who was hell worried thinking about the consequences of Nandini's khaand.

"Issey kya hua?",. Manik asked others looking at him who was in his own world.

"Kuch khaney ka soch rha hoga! Aur kya? Aisey thodey hai that we're hiding something!", Alya chipped.

Manik looked at her from mirror raising his eyebrows while others cursed her under their breath.

"Manik! Tuney bataya nahi ki Nandu humarey liye kya gifts layi?", Mukti tried to change the topic.

"What's up, guys? What did you do this time?", He asked.

"Kyu batey tujhey? Mera maamla tha mainey sulja liya!", Cabir said shrugging his shoulder while Manik nodded and asked, "Kya hua h meri baby k saath?"

"Room mey safe hai wo! Don't worry!", Dhruv said and Manik drove towards their house.

"So! Here's Manan Mansion! Aap sab ab nichey utar sakty hai!", Manik said playfully.

"Tu thik h na buddy? Nandu ki baat sun kar b shanti sey humey paucha diya yaha!", Dhruv asked.

Chuckling Manik said, "I know she's safe otherwise tum sab k shakaal par mera khauff hota!"

"She messed up big this time!", He said and Manik nodded.

As all left,Manik turned the wheels towards her place.

On the other side in the meantime, Nandini was sitting keeping her head down while Abhi was scolding her ,"Kyu gayi tu bahar? Tujhey pata hai na safe nahi hai tery liye? Fir v kyu? Samaj nahi aata tujhey? Aur photoshoot? Kya sujha tha tujhey? Manik ko pata chala tu janti hai kya karga wo? Agar koi dekh leta toh? Tujhey pata hai na Australia mey kya honey wala tha tery saath? Tujhey daar nhi hai?"

She was sitting and her silent tears were continuously flowing.

"Chup! Ek aanshu nhi! Galati ki hai pehly aur roney sey kya hoga? Bola na mainey ek aanshu nhi! Bol dun main sabko?  Agar Cabir ko pata nhi chalta aur fab5 waha suddenly aati toh tujhey pata hai Manik kya karta tera?"

"Mujhey nahi karni aapsey baat! Aap jao yaha sey!", She shouted angrily and Abhi looked at her in shock.

"Chilla kyu rahi hai?"

"Kyunki aap daanth rahey ho! Nahi karni matlb nahi krni baat! Aap gandey ho! Chii!! Fuck off!", She shouted and angrily threw her copy on his face.

"Nandini Manik Malhotra!", She heard Manik's stern tone and gulped.

Slowly she turned towards him and looked at him with teary eyes.

Without thinking twice, she jumped on him and cried, "Monstuuuu! Mereko nahi rahna yaha! Mereko ley chalo na! Monstu!!"

He sighed and hugged her, "Just one more day, baby!"

She looked at him and whispered, "Main sabsey pretty hu na?"

He frowned on her sudden questions but anyways pecked her lips, "Sabsey pretty, baby!"

She turned towards Abhi and said, "I'll take my revenge! Mery par gussa karney ka! Monstu sey b dant lagawaungi!"

Abhi raised his eyebrows and said, "Dude! Yeh chidya jyda udd rhi hai aaj! Shambhal ley issey!"

"Tu yaha kya kar rha hai?",he questioned back.

"Vaisey batana toh nhi chahta tha but it's about her security toh I won't hide! Bahar gayi thi teri chidya!"

"Jhuttey! Lier!!", She turned to Manik, "Manik! Main nahi--"

"Nanhi! Jhutt bologi ek tapad laga dunga! Swearing, lieing? Kaha sey yeh sab sikh rhi ho? Now go and study! No mobile for a week!", He said strictly ignoring her best puppy face.

Sulking she went to her bed and pushed Abhi who was sitting on her bed. He fell down and muttered a 'sorry' with a tight smile.

"Manik! Dekh rha hai! Kitni badmash hotey jaa rhi hai!", Abhi complained standing up.

"Ayee! Main bata rhi hun ganda badla lungi! Panga mat lo mujhsey!", She shouted glaring him but her eyes turned to Mnaik who was looking her raising his one eyebrow. She showed her teeth and turned back to her books.

"Kaha mili tujhey yeh?"

"Monstu main--", she started but stopped looking at his face which was clearly saying to keep her mouth shut and study.

"Photoshoot k liye gayi thi madam! Check kar lena! Rashes naa aa gaye ho makeup sey! Pehly hi rashes the aur badh na jaye!", Abhi said worriedly looking at her who was using mobile keeping it inside her book, "Mobile chal rahi hai! Padh nahi rhi hai!"

"I know!",. Manik said and pressed his own head in worry, "Cabir ki jaan ley lunga main! Ek toh vaisey hi sab messed up hai! She isn't studying properly here or ab mobile par game and sns sikha diya hai uss saley ney! Next week exams start hai aur iss baar yeh ladki padhney ko tayaar nhi hai!"

Abhi laughed and said, "Tu pass karwa dena! Manik Malhotra ki biwi honey ka kuch toh faiyda uthaney dey ussey!"

"Abhi! Uskey dimaag mey dalna v mat yeh baat! Ussey khud padhna hoga! There won't be any shortcuts for her ever!" He said warning him.

"Chal main chalta hun! Enjoy your time!"

Manik locked the door once Abhi left.

He turned towards her who was busy playing games in his mobile.
