In Mumbai, at malthora mansion!

Manik parking his car walks inside the malthora mansion and shouts neyonika's name out. Neyonika who was in kitchen heard Manik's shout and filling glass of water comes out of kitchen and saw Manik slumping down on sofa.

Neyonika walks to Manik and handed him the glass of water. Manik took the glass and drink it in one go.

Manik : thank you mom!

Neyonika taking the glass placed it on table and sat beside him. As neyonika comfortable sat on couch Manik puts his head in neyonika's lap. Neyonika smilingly ruffles his hair.

Neyonika: did you talk to Neil?

Manik : I did mom.. he said he will try to come back once his project is over. Mom I have told you before we can't force Neil to leave everything abs shift back to India. He definitely needs time.

Neyonika: how is he?

Manik: he is good mom! Bebe is there to look after him. He will be back to you mom.

Neyonika: my baby.. I miss him so much Manik.. I wish I never sent you to London...

Manik : mom please your elder son is beside you... please be mercy on him and give him all the love and attention to him.

Manik said while making innocent face to which neyonika burst out laughing at Manik. She lightly slapped his head.

Neyonika: such dramabazz you're Manik! By the way where is raj?

Manik : uff that old man! Why do you ask about old man? God!

Neyonika: Manik behave yourself.. he is your father..

Manik : yeah yeah.. whatever.

Neyonika: where is he? Didn't you both finish at the same time?

Manik : I finished one hour before my usually hour. Dad must be still in office. He would be home an hour later.

Neyonika: okay! Manik why don't you fresh up while I lay dinner for you!

Manik : mom dinner later.. for now I need your handmade coffee.

Neyonika: fresh up! I'll bring coffee in your room.

Manik nodding his head sat up. He then kissing neyonika's cheek and taking his office bag walks up the stairs. Neyonika moves to kitchen.

Manik walking to his room kept his bag on bed and settled down.. he took his phone out and tried calling someone but the call went unanswered. Manik sighed and keeping his phone on charging moves to closet.

Manik took his clothes and went fresh up.

Manik freshening up comes out of washroom and walks to his bed side. He threw his towel on bed and picking the phone up sat down.

He checked his phone to any message or miscalled from the person but not seeing any he sighed and kept his phone back on the table and leaned back to headboard resting himself with closed eyes..

He opens his eyes as he heard knock on the door.

Manik : come inside.. door is open!

Manik looks at the door and saw butler with his coffee.

Butler : Manik baba your coffee!

Manik : leave it on the table.

The butler nodding his head walks inside the room and keeping the cup of coffee on table left the room after closing it..

Manik sighing getting up moves to sitting area and settling down on couch picks the cup of coffee and starts sipping while being lost in his thoughts.

In London, 2pm at malthora industrial.

Neil finishing his meeting walks to his cabin while dialling someone's number. He typed his cabin password and pushing the door enters in the cabin. Neil took his blazer off and kept it on table. He settles down and dialled the number again.

Neil : hello! Where are you?

Caller : Hello Neil! How are you? I'm at office!

Neil : I'm perfectly good until I got some bad news.

Caller : what bad news you got Mr malthora?

Neil : navya is getting married!

Caller : what? How? Why?

Neil: why are you reacting like this cabir Dhawan? It shouldn't bother who navya gets married to you..

Cabir : Mr malthora don't cross your limit. How can you say it shouldn't bother me who navya gets married to? Don't your know how much I love her? Why didn't you tell her that she can't marry anyone rather than me?

Neil : oh really cabir! She can't marry but you! Can you give me one reason why she should marry you cabir?

Cabir : because.. because ....

Neil : shut up... I'm taking Manik Bhai on conference call.. I can't bloody handle you.. Manik Bhai can handle dumbest cabir..

Neil dialled Manik's number and took him into conference call with cabir.

Manik : hey Neil!

Neil : hey Bhai! Our conversation can wait but before that I have task for you. Cabir is also on the call.

Manik : cabir? What is this idiot doing between our call?

Cabir : hello taller malthora!

Manik : cabir man my name is Manik not taller malthora. And Neil why is he here? I can't bare him anymore.

Cabir : no one loves me here...

Neil : the person who loves you a lot but look at you.. such asshole you're being... Bhai navya came to office and she said that her parents is ready to fix her alliance with some random guys.. and this Asshole lover boy doesn't care... give him some brain.

Manik : what navya said that? How can her parents do that? And cabir why don't you confess your feelings to her man? She is waiting for you to confess your feelings.. you know she thinks you haven't realised your feelings for her but only we know how much you love her. Don't make too late cabir.. confess it before it's too late..

Cabir : Manik what if her parents says no?

Neil : cabir will confess or not?

Cabir : why are you adding my worry?

Neil : excuse me mister I was the one who told you both navya marriage but look at your attitude. You don't even appreciate me. How mean?

Manik : Neil be quiet!

Neil: Bhai!

Manik : Neil I said keep quiet.. and cabir don't you dare to say anything to Neil.. and cabir if you really love navya then you shouldn't fear of anything expect one thing..

Cabir : what do you mean Manik?

Manik : I mean you shouldn't fear thinking what if navya doesn't love you back. Everyone in our group knows how much navya loves you even you do but you're scared to confess because of her parents being orthodox. Cabir it's time to fight against with them for navya.. prove to her parents that no one can love navya the way you do... we want both of yours happiness. Propose navya before it's late.. okay.. now stop stressing and think how would you propose her.

Cabir : thank you Manik and Neil for making me understand. I'll talk to you later!

Manik : bye cabir!

Neil : bye duffer!

Cabir ended the call leaving both brothers on the call.

Manik : so mr malthora I need some answer?

Neil : what answer Bhai? I don't have any answer.

Manik: oh really mr malthora! You can't fool me. Spill it out!

Neil : sorry Bhai for disturbing you... I knew cabir wouldn't understand if I tried to explain but if you do then he would definitely will try to understand... and see the result it worked.. he understood what you meant.

Manik: very smart Neil malthora.

Neil : I know Neil malthora is very smart Bhai! Have reached home?

Manik : yes I got home 30 minutes before!

Neil : mom? Is she around you!

Manik : just wait up.. I'll go down and give phone to her.

Neil : okay!

In Mumbai, at malthora mansion.

Manik walks down the stairs yelling neyonika's name.

Manik: mom... mom... mom.. where are you mom?

Neyonika: what happened Manik? Why are you shouting my name?

Manik : mom Neil is on the call. He wants to talk to you.

Neyonika: my baby boy..

Manik : yes your baby boy.. here talk to him.

Manik giving phone to neyonika went back to his room while neyonika took the phone and walks back to kitchen.

Neyonika: hello Neil.

Neil : hello mom, how are you?

Neyonika: how can I be without you Neil? I miss you so much? Why did you go London?

Neil : mom please stop crying.. I don't like you tears.. please don't cry mom..

Neyonika: I am not crying Neil.. are you in office? Did you eat your lunch?

Neil : Bebe is awesome. She misses you all lot.

Neyonika: even we miss her Neil. Neil when are planning to come back?

Neil: mom I don't know. I really don't know when I'll be back to India but mom soon as project is over I'll be there hugging you.

Neyonika: I am waiting for that day Neil... I want my both son front of my eyes.. even you dad and Manik miss you a lot.. try to come back soon..

Neil : I'll try mom.

They continued taking more than more when Neil had another meeting to which he had to end the call.. neyonika felt so happy talking to Neil..

She walks out of kitchen and rushed to see Manik but bumps to someone who held her. Neyonika closed her eyes in fear but soon opened it as she heard raj voice. Raj made her stand and exclaimed her face.

Raj : wow.. my wife looks very happy mood today? What a magic but hold up? Who dare to make my wife so happy?

Neyonika smiled brightly hearing raj that she didn't bother answering him. Manik who came to get his phone back saw neyonika happy face.. he too smiled and thanked Neil who took time to speak to neyonika after such long time.

Manik : raj malthora why can't my mom be happy?

Manik said walking to them and wrapping his arms around neyonika and kissing her cheek.

Raj made face seeing Manik hugging and kissing neyonika.

Raj : Manik Malhotra move away from my wife.. she is mine..

Raj tried pulling neyonika from Manik's hold but failed as Manik didn't let that happen.

Raj : I hate you Manik malthora.

Manik : so happy to hear that raj malthora.

Raj : neyonika why do you look so happy today?

Neyonika: I spoke to Neil!

Raj eyes shined up hearing Neil's name and smile appeared on his face.

Raj : Neil! How is he?

Neyonika: he is perfectly good. He said that he will try to come back once his project is over..

Raj smiles and joined the hug of mother and son making small family hug. All smiled. Mostly Manik was happy seeing his parents smiling.
