In malthora mansion.

Neil rushed down the stairs and saw Neyonika shouting at the butler. He shook his head and moves to her. He wraps his arms around her shoulder and gestures butler to leave.

Neil turns Neyonika around.

Neil : mom, why are you shouting at him?

Neyonika: when did you wake up?

Neil : an hour ago. I have to go out.

Neyonika: work again? Neil you have just come back from London. You can't go back to work. Take some few days off.

Neil giggles and cups Neyonika's face.

Neil : mom, I'm not going to work but to meet someone.

Neyonika: girl?

Neil : really mom? Why would it be girl?

Neyonika: who are you going to meet then?

Neil : mother please stop this detective mode on.

Neyonika rolls her eyes and pulls his ears making Neil Yelp in pain. He removing Neyonika's hand rubs his ear.

Neil : mom chill! Don't need to be so harsh on your darling son. I'll be back.

Neyonika: Neil breakfast?

Neil : I will have it outside mom.

Neil kissing Neyonika's cheek ran out of the mansion. Neyonika shook her head and smiles as she saw Manik descending down the stairs.

Neyonika: manu, good morning baby!

Manik irks as Neyonika called him baby.

Manik : mom, I'm not baby! Don't call me that.

Neyonika pulls Manik's cheek making him pout.

Neyonika: my baby!

Manik : mom! Where is Neil?

Neyonika: he went out!

Manik: mom, I'm going out too. I will be back by afternoon.

Neyonika: where are you going?

Manik : I have meeting with a producer.

Neyonika: what about breakfast?

Manik : I'm not hungry mom! I will have it later.

Neyonika: okay!

Manik kissing Neyonika's cheek also left the mansion.

Neil pulls his sunglasses out and looks outside of the window. He smiles as he noticed the Murthy's mansion.

Neil comes out of the car and made his way to the door. He rang the door bell and shoving his hand in pockets waits there.

A door opens and Neil lifts his gaze up to see Nandini. They both recognised each other. Neil smiles brightly.

Neil: hello Bhabhi!

Nandini blushes as Neil called her Bhabhi. Neil chuckles and forward his hand to her to which Nandini took it and shook their hands.

Nandini: hello Neil! Please just call me Nandini.

Neil : don't be like Bhai!

Nandini frowns hearing Neil.

Neil : he thinks you won't like me calling you Bhabhi. Is it true?

Nandini: why wouldn't I like it Neil but..

Neil : but what Bhabhi? Is there something wrong me calling you Bhabhi?

Nandini: no there isn't! Neil mani and I are not married yet.

Neil chuckles and shook his head.

Neil : expected thoughts. It doesn't matter that. I'll be calling you Bhabhi! That's final. You nor your boyfriend can stop me.

Nandini smiles and nodded her head.

Nandini: fine you can me like that but don't call me Bhabhi in presence of avni until she knows about us.

Neil : done Bhabhi! By the way talking of her where is she? Didn't I tell her to ready sharp by 9?

Nandini : she is getting her ready. Finally her dream will come true. Why don't you come inside?

( Nandini's outfit)

Neil nods his head and follows Nandini inside.

Nandini: avni! Come down. Neil has arrived.

A second later avni rushed down and saw Neil. She smiles at Neil.

( Avni's outfit.ignore the glasses)

Avni : hey Neil! I'm so sorry I got late.

Neil : it's completely okay! Bhai can wait.

Avni smiles and looks at Nandini.

Avni : do I need to introduce you both?

Neil : not really! We just got to know each other.

Avni : that's great!

Neil: we should leave now. Bhai does have meeting later so we need to make it quick.

They all settled in Neil's car. Nandini and avni took the back seat while Neil sat on the driver seat.

Neil drove themselves to one of the private place where they can't be found by anyone.

Neil parks the car and taking his phone out dropped a message to Manik about their arrival.

Neil : we have reached!

The girls nodding their head comes out of the car and follows Neil.

Neil putting his thumb on the buzzer opens the door and gestures the girls to get in first.

Neil closed the door after getting inside.

Neil : Bhai is waiting for us.. follow me this way.

Nandini and avni follows Neil. Avni's heart beat was beating faster with nervous and excitement. She was finally going to meet the rockstar Manik malthora. It was her biggest dream to meet him. She was huge fan of him. While Nandini smilingly follows Neil.

Neil stops as he found Manik back facing them on call. Neil waits for Manik to end the call.

Neil calls Manik's make out once Manik was done with call.

Manik turns around and smiles. His smile broke someone's heart. As Manik turns avni almost fainted seeing Manik... her eyes widened, her mouth wide open. Nandini chuckles and held Avni's arm.

( Manik's outfit)

Nandini: relax avni! He won't eat you.

Avni composed herself and watched Neil hugging Manik.

Avni : is this really happening? Am I dreaming? Is this real Manik malthora?

Nandini pinches Avni's wrist making Avni yell and rubbed her wrist, her scream made both brothers look at them.

Manik winks at Nandini who blushed. Neil smiles as he looked at Avni's face. He found her too adorable.

Neil : avni why are you standing there? Come here.

Avni was still daze and still couldn't believe she was meeting Manik malthora.

Neil chuckles and went to her. He held her wrist and brought close to Manik who gave bright smile to avni giving her heart attack.

Neil : Bhai met avni. She is your biggest fan. She is the one who I told you about last night.

Manik smiles at Neil then looks at avni who was dumbfounded. He definitely would relate this kind of reaction from her. He has faced many times. He forward his hand to avni.

Manik : hello avni!

Avni : omg! This is for real! Right.. Sorry... I don't.. I am just speechless seeing you.. please don't mind me.

Manik chuckles.

Manik : don't be! I know the experience.

Avni held his hand and shook it making trio smile.

Avni : I am your biggest fan.. I adore everything what you do.. I love all of your song, interviews. You are so natural and perfect. I still can't believe it I met you... can I get picture with you?

Manik again chuckles.

Manik : thank you so much for your kind words. Off course you can!

Avni took her phone out and looks at Nandini who took the phone and took few pictures of them. Nandini was truly happy for sister. She thanked Neil for letting this happen.

Avni: thank you so much... this is my sister.. she isn't big fan of yours but still loves your songs....

Manik looks at Nandini who glares avni for exposing her in front of Manik. Neil just giggles and felt content seeing them happy.

Manik : is that so? Well it looks like I have to make sure your sister becomes my biggest fan like you avni..

Nandini : she is lying! Don't believe her.

Manik smirks and thought to tease Nandini but stopped as Neil wraps his arms around Nandini shoulder pulling her in hug. Manik glares Neil and eyed him move away from Nandini to which Neil smirks.

Neil : I believe you Nandini. You don't have to become fan of my brother but me.. I am sure you love me more than my brother.

Nandini smiles at Neil then looks at Manik who looked jealous of his own brother. Nandini smirks and placed her hand on Neil.

Avni confusingly looks at Nandini getting comfortable with Neil, it's not that she didn't like it because she knew Nandini doesn't get along with someone that quick. She also happy seeing Nandini being more comfortable with Neil. She smiles and looks at Manik who was throwing deadly glares at Neil. She frowns but nevertheless chucked her thoughts.

Avni : what is happening? Am I missing something here?

This question made everyone snap their heads at avni who was still unaware of MaNan relationship. Nandini looks at Manik who gave her ensuring smile before looking at avni.

Manik : avni can I talk to you? In fact I have something to tell you.

Avni nods her head.

Neil : why don't we sit and have some food? I am hungry too.

Manik nodded his head because he was hungry too. He looks at the ladies who also nodded their head. Manik dials a number and called butler who immediately comes out trolley of food and cutlery's.

The butler placed everything on table and left from there.

They all sat down and starts having food. Manik held Nandini's hand as he was sitting beside him and oppose them AvNeil sat down.

Manik giving a smile to Nandini looks at avni who was eating and laughing on silly jokes made by Neil.

Manik clears his throat gaining Avni's attention.

Avni : I'm sorry... you wanted talk about something.

Manik : avni I don't know nor I want to riddle this topic around. I want you to listen to me carefully and understand what I am saying. Please don't come to conclusion before knowing whole truth.

Avni nodded her head still feeling nervous what could be the matter that Manik wants to talk about. She looks at Neil who shrugs his shoulder but also give her smile. She then looks at Nandini who looked worried and nervous.

Manik : I have to tell you something.. this is very personal. You must know about realisations status in media and how I don't reveal about my relationship to media. I don't give any explanation to rumours about the all the girls I get linked to. All I want to say is I am dating someone that too very long time. Our relationship is hidden from everyone including my family and friends. They don't have any idea of me dating someone.

Avni was shocked to hear that.. she was surprised the rockstar Manik malthora was dating someone. She thought that girl would be lucky to have Manik. She was genuinely happy for Manik.

Avni : I am just your fan like other fans of yours.. how can you trust me like that?

Manik : I trust you avni because of my reasons. I don't think it would should be hidden from you.

Avni frowns. She was unable to think why was Manik telling her. Was she really special to him?

Manik: I don't know how you react to this or how you will take it.. I know you might feel betrayal but we didn't have any intention to hide from you. We had strong reasons to hide our relationship from you...

Avni : I am totally confused. Can you just come to point? I don't want to be rude but nothing is making sense to me.

Manik looks at Nandini still holding her hands before clearing his throat.

Manik : I and Nandini are dating each other...

Manik watched Avni's eyes widen... Nandini tightly held Manik's hand. Avni was flabbergasted what she just heard.. she didn't speak or anything..

Manik not getting reaction from avni starts explaining the reason why they decided to hide. Neil placed a hand on Avni's shoulder and looks at her.

Avni : did you knew about them?

Neil : avni.. I got to know about them yesterday though I had doubt Bhai dating someone... try to understand their reasons too. They hid it because of some reasons.

Avni looks at MaNan who was waiting for reaction.

Avni : how long have you been relationship with Di?

Manik : 5 years!

Avni : i don't know what to say.. I need some to digest all this.. I need sometime but...

Nandini : princess I'm sorry..

Manik : but? What?

Avni : I am happy for you both...I just need some time accept all this..

Manik : I understand avni! Please don't be upset with Nandini. She had strong reasons to hide. No ones knows about us expect you two. Please to try to understand our situation too.

Avni nods her head and getting up moves to Nandini and side hugs her.

Avni : Di! Stop worrying. I won't tell you break up with him. Did you though I will be that harsh? That too a person who you are dating is my favourite rockstar..

Nandini smiles and hugged avni back.
