>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Alya: Manikkkkkkkkkkkkkk!

Alya and Vandana were standing at the door of Manik's room

Nandini was on top of Manik and his arms were holding her waist!

Vandu was shocked to her roots but couldn't help in stopping the smile that was forming on her lips

Alya was fuming in anger seeing them in that position...

She marches in and pulls Nandini up....

Ptahhhhhhhkkk!!!!!!

Alya slapped Nandini!!
This shocked everyone in the room

A:How dare u come to Manik's room without permission!!!
Who the hell r u????
How dare u touch him with ur filthy hands????
Mujhe ache se patha hai ki yeh sab tum kyun kar rahi ho!!
You bloody gold digger!!!!

Saying this Alya dugs her nails on Nandini's shoulder blades holding her...
This makes Nandini wince in pain!

N:Shh aahhhh...

M:Stop it Alyaaaaaaaaa!!!
Paagal ho gayi ho tum!!

Manik pushes away Alya's hands from Nandini

M:It was just an accident!!!
Woh girne wali thi and I just held her hand!!
We lost our balance and fell on the bed!!!
Itna bada scene create karne ki koi zaroorat nahi hai Alya!!
And why the hell did u slap her!!

A:Manik I don't wanna hear anything!!!
First of all what is she doing in ur bedroom???

M: Can't u see v were working!!

A:She is just an employee Manik !!!utna bhi zaroori kaam kya hai ki woh tumhare bedroom tak aah gayi!!
Hw can she barge in to ur room?
Kya hak hai uska?

M: Acha!!! toh tum bhi toh waise hi aayi ho na!!
Bina knock kiye!!!

A(shocked): Manik!!!! seriously!!!
Main tumhari girlfriend hoon!!!
Mujhe hak hai Yahaan aane ka

M:Alya Yahaan main kaam ki baat kar Raha hoon!!
Nandini Ko bhi utna hi hak hai jitna tumhe hai yahaan aane ki!!
You both r a part of Malhotra Industries!!
And for ur information Alya!!!she is not an employee!!!
But the owner of Murthy Enterprises!!!
If there is any employee in this room,that would be u Alya!!

Alya slow claps!!!!

A:Wahh!!!!Manik wahh!!!is ladki ke liye tumne mujhe sirf ek employee Bana diya!!!
For this cheap,gold digger!!!!!
I can't believe!!!
I love you Manik!!!lekin tum keh rahe ho ki main bhi is Nandini ki tarah hoon!!!
I can't do this Manik!!!I really can't!!

Alya rushes into the washroom crying

V:Manik tum aaao mere saath!

M:Lekin mom!!!

V:Aaoooo!

Manik looks at Nandini for a second

She looked at him with all assurance that she was okay

Manik satisfied leaves with his mom

Nandini sits on the bed not knowing what to do

N:(in her mind)Ohh my Raamjiii!!!yeh sab mere saath hi kyun hotha hai!!!
Itna drama!!!!
Kaam karne ke liye aayi thi aur free mein thappad khaake Jaa rahi hoon 😂
Mujhe Alya se baat karna hi hoga!!!

Alya returns back from the washroom to find Nandini alone in the room

She looks at her with pure disgust and anger

Huffing,Alya turns to leave the room

N:Alyaa!!!

Alya stops and turns

A:What???

N:We need to talk....

A:Mujhe tumse koi baat nahi karni hai....

N:Par mujhe karni hai...
Look Alya....jo tumne dekhs it was just an accident!!
Tumhe insecure hone ki koi zaroorat nahi hai..

I am not interested in ur boyfriend!!!!!!!!!😁

A: Excuse me!!!!!
Main insecure ho rahi hoon???
Of course not....
Mujhe ache se patha hai ki Manik ka standards kya hai!!
His standards are not that low!
Don't u even dream that he will fall for u!!
Shakal toh dekho!!!badi aayi mujhe advice dene...

N:Achaaa!!!mujhe toh Laga ki his standards would be u knw ok ok types!!!
Kyunki he is with u na!!😂so I don't expect him to hv higher standards!

A:How dare you?😠

Alya raises her hand again to slap Nandini

But this time Nandini grabs Alya's hand in time and twists it!

N:Oyyy!!!Tumhe kya Laga main thappad khaati rahoongi?
Tumne socha ki yaar yeh toh seedhi saadhi ladki hai!!!kuch bhi kar sakte hai iske saath!!

Toh tumne galat socha hai!!
Jaise main dikthi hoon, waise main hoon nahi!
Yahaan tak pohanchne ke liye bohat mehnat ki hai maine!
Aise hi nahi Bana tha Murthy Enterprises!!
Raaste mein tumhare jaise patharon Ko utaakar phek diya hai maine!!! without any hesitations!!!
So mujhe haath lagane ki koshish bhi mat karna...
Teek hai???

Alya struggles to get her hand out of Nandini's grip

Seeing her in that condition, Nandini smiles and leaves her!

Alya grabs her bag and rushes out

N:Wait!!!

Nandini walks towards Alya

N: Tumne kuch diya tha na mujhe??
Hmm??? didn't u?

Alya looks confused

Giving Alya no time to think!!!...................

Ptaaaaaaaaaaaahhhkkkkkk!!

For a second Alya couldn't comprehend what had happened!!
Her cheek became hot because of the sudden attack!
Her ears were buzzing!!
It's only after a minute her mind registered what had happened
She got slapped!!!!
That too by Nandini,whom she thought was a weak duckling!!
She couldn't believe her eyes 😲

Nandini left the room taking her files with her

All this time ,two unnoticed eyes were watching the drama that happened!

Yeah!!!!!it was Manik....
He had forgotten his phone and had come to take it..
He couldn't utter a word watching how Nandini had raised her voice!
He never expected it!
He was happy that Nandini did not tolerate Alya's nonsense

Manik leaves to meet his mom
He was smiling all the way

Living Room

Vandu notices Manik smiling and walking towards her

V:Manik!!!kya hua beta??? tabiyat teek hai na tumhara?
Akele akele has rahe ho?!!!😂

M:Mom!!!main bilkul teek hoon!!
U won't believe what I just saw!!!!

V:What happened?

Manik narrated the incident that happened after they both left!!
How Nandini had slapped Alya!!!!

V(starts laughing):Kyaa!!!sach main!!!
Yeh Nandini toh bohat hoshiyaar nikli!

M:Yes mom!!!
She is very bold and smart!!
U should hv seen Alya's face!!
She was flabbergasted!!!!
Mujhe Laga that ki Nandini sirf mujhse panga leti hai!
Lekin yeh toh kisi Ko nahi chodthi hai!!
I am really impressed!!
Like sach mein!!!she is really brave.....

All this time Vandu was watching Manik...
His eyes were twinkling with pride when he was narrating the entire incident!!
He appeared to be really happy to knw that Nandini stood up for herself!
She had never ever heard him praising someone like this!!

V:Manik!!!!chal kya Raha hai bhai????
Bada khush ho Raha hai!!!
Sharam aani chahiye tujhe aise haste huye hai!!😂

M:Why mom???

V:Arehh!!!Alya teri girlfriend hai!!!
Tujhe kuch farak nahi pad Raha hai??
U should be feeling angry on Nandini right?

M:No mom!!!
Alya ne Jo kiya woh bohat galat hai!!
How can she just slap Nandini!!
She couldn't just stop insulting her!!
Aur thappad pehle Alya ne maara tha!!
Nandini ne khatam kiya jo Alya ne shuru ki thi!!
I think Nandini did the right thing...

Again Manik goes for another round of praises for Nandini

V:Bas bas bas!!!!kitna bolega!!!
Itna tarif!!!!(smirks)
Sab patha hai mujhe!!
Hv u ever praised me like that!!!
Main bhi bold hoon,smart hoon.....
Nahi mujhe chodd!!apne papa ki taarif Kiya hai??
Bhai ka???
Lekin yeh Nandini special Kyun hai?

M:Aisa kuch nahi hain Mom!!!
Aapne bhi toh dekha na!!!it was an accident!
Alya created a scene out of it and Nandini handled it by finishing the stunt pulled by following the same trick!!
So I felt like appreciating her 'effort' !!dats it!

V: Appreciating her efforts????
Manik Mujhse toh jhoot mat bol!!!
Maa hoon teri!!!!😎😁😁😁
Maine bhi dekha,ki kaise tum dono ek doosre ke aankon mein kho gaye the 😂🙈

Hearing this Manik starts coughing

M:Mom!!!aaa(cough..)...main...(cough...) Main chalta hoon..
Mu..mujhe neend aa Rahi hain 😂😂

Manik runs from there

V:Oyyy kahaan Jaa raha hai!!!!jawaab toh deke Jaa...😂
Hmm!!!aaj toh tumne sambaal li!!!main bhi dekhti hoon!!
Hw many days u will run from me!!
Agar tum Manik Malhotra ho toh main bhi Vandana Malhotra hoon!!!😏

Nandini enters the living room
Manik has already left...
Vandana was talking to Robin about cleaning the swimming pool

Nandini: Ma'am main chalti hoon!

V:Arehh tum Jaa rahi ho???
Lunch toh karke jaaoo..pehli Baar Ghar aayi ho!

N:Nahi Ma'am !!!next time pakkaa!!

V:Areh aise kaise!!!!Aur tum mujhe Ma'am Kyun bula Rahi ho?
Tum hamare company ke saath collaboration kar rahi ho!!
Naukar nahi ho!!!
Toh tum yeh Ma'am Ma'am karna sab chodd do!

N:Ok aunty

V:Hmm dats better!

Alya comes to the living room

When she sees Nandini ,she throws a dirty look towards her!
Nandini remains unaffected by it!

A:Aunty!!main nikal rahi hoon!!

V: Lunch karke jaaoo Alya!!

A:No thanks aunty!!!
Kuch log hai Yahaan pe!!Jise koi kaam nahi hai!!(looks at Nandini)
Use khila do!!
Bye Aunty!

V:Bye Alya!!

Alya leaves

Vandana notices Nandini being so cool with Alya's childish behaviour!!
Thus decides to tease her a bit

V:Nandini!!!
Did u see a mark on Alya's left cheek?
A Red mark!!!!!!!

This makes Nandini alert

N(in her mind):Heinnn!!!mark????maine toh nahi dekha!!
Kahi aunty ko patha toh nahi chala na ki maine use thappad maara hai!
Use zaroor acha nahi lagega!!arehh uski honewali bahu hai!!
Bohat bura lagega!!
Ayooo Raamji!!
Kuch na kuch kehkar sambhaal leti hoon!

N:Haannn??mark!!!maine toh nahi dekha!!

V:Nahi dekha!!aise kuch thappad padne ki tarah!!
Ho sakta hai ki main imagine kar rahi hoon!!hai na?

N:Haan Haaan...aa...aap imagine kar rahi hogi!

V:Lekin phir bhi!!!!!

N(in her mind):Ayyoo Aunty toh us baat Ko chodd hi nahi rahe hai!!
Main topic change karti hoon!!

N: Woh aunty.mujhe bhuk lag rahi hai!!

V:Achaa..main bhi toh vahi bol rahi hoon!!!main Abhi khaana lagati hoon!!!

V:(in her mind) topic toh change karli!
Poor kid 😂

The servants arrange the table for lunch

Enter Daadu and Daadi

( I will be using Du for Daadu and Di for Daadi)

Du:Oyyy hoyyy!!!badiya khushboo aah raha hai!!

V: Aayiye papaji!

Di:Yeh kaun hai?

V:Yeh Nandini Murthy hai!!Manik ki partner hai!!!

N:Namaste!!

Nandini bends down to take blessings from them

Di &Du:Jeete raho!

Du:Vandu!!aaj halwa nahi banayi kya?

V:Papaji!!!aap humesha bhoolne ki naatak karte ho ki aapko diabetes hain!!
Roz aap walking jaate wakt toh bahaar se meetha khaa lete ho!
Aur ab ghar se bhi khaaoge?

Du:Lekin mujhe bohat man kar Raha hai halwa khaane ki

Di:Lo ji!!!!aap aise zidd Kyun kar rahe ho!!

Daadu gets upset for not getting his favourite halwa
Nandini who was watching all this gets upset!

Du:Haan haan beta!!main toh tayyar hoon khaane ke liye!

N:Aunty kya main Bana sakti hoon!!??

V:Beta tum Kyun takleef le Rahe ho?main Robin Ko bol dungi!

V:Teek hai beta

Nandini goes to the kitchen

Vandana,Daadu and Daadi were seated at the Dining Table

V: Mummyji ji!!!aap jaanti ho ki Nandini kaun hai!!
Yeh wahi Nandini hai jiske baare mein Karan bolthe the!

Di:Kyaa ???woh ladki jisne Manik ki muhn band kar diya tha?

V:Haan mummyji!!!

Vandana tells Daadi about Nandini slapping Alya!

Daadi starts laughing

Di:Arehh areh!!mujhe toh yeh sunkar hi pet bhar gayi!!
Us chipkali ke saath acha hi hua!!
Main toh bohat khush hoon

Nandini enters with a bowl after a while!

N:Yeh lijiye Daadajiii!!!aapke sugar free halwa!!

All smile
For the next minutes,the room was filled with the praises for Nandini's halwa!
All were having their food peacefully

NANDINI'S POV

All finish their lunch
Nandini thanks for the lunch again and gets up to leave!!
Her eyes search for someone!!
She wanted to say goodbye before leaving

Vandana understands this and says

V:Woh so Raha hai beta!😂

Nandini gets embarrassed for getting caught

N:Nahi main!!! woh!!.......

Next Day

MALHOTRA INDUSTRIES

Conference Room

Malhotra Industries were having a meeting with the a event management company for the upcoming product launch event

Karan,Manik,Nandini,and Cabir were present

Random discussion going on about how the event will be held

M:Listen Mr.Varma,many dignitaries will be coming from New York,Dubai,Europe, Australia,Delhi, Hyderabad, Bangalore and Mumbai two days before itself
Arrange hotel rooms for all of them!

Varma:Sir approximately hw many groups will be arriving?

M:The minimum number will be 300!!!
My PA will give the details about the guestlist

N:Mr.Varma I don't think u will have to book those many rooms!
Those arriving from Hyderabad, Bangalore ,Delhi will only reach by evening!!
Thus booking rooms for them will be a waste of money!!
U will only hv to make arrangements to help them to get freshen up!!
That can be arranged at company's guest house itself??
Right Karan sir?

Karan was truly impressed by Nandini who was making decisions very carefully and not wasting money

K:Yess yess!!!u r right!

Karan looked at Manik!
Karan knew that Manik would object to it

M:Hmm!!!u can do as MsMurthy says!!
She has given a really productive suggestion

That is it!!!
Two jaws were dropped at this moment!!
Cabir and Karan couldn't stop staring at Manik!!
Did they hear it wrong??
They couldn't believe their own eyes and ears!
The Manik Malhotra who never accepted any suggestions unless it was his father's , accepted a suggestion without any argument!!
This was nothing less than a miracle!
The father-son duo looked at each other trying to confirm whether it was a dream
Cabir remembered how his mother had told him about Manik's soft corner towards Nandini!!
Yes everything was adding up to the same conclusion
His thoughts were disturbed by Manik

M: Thank you Mr.Varma for ur patience and support!!
We look forward to a great experience working with you!

The meeting had ended and everyone left except for Manik and Nandini

While Nandini was arguing with someone on the phone,Manik was just sat blankly staring at her

Just when Nandini had cut the call,Manik speaks..

M:Nandini mujhe kuch baat karna hai tumse!!

N:Haan!!kahiye

Manik gets up and starts walking towards her

Nandini is slightly shocked seeing him come nearer

Manik comes and pulls the chair near her and sits on it

M:Woh!!!Nandini!!!!!!
I am sorry!!!

Nandini's eyes bulge out

N:Heinn!!aap sry bol rahe hain!!
Aaj toh the sun will set in the east!!!

Nandini laughs
Manik smiles looking at her

N: Lekin aap sry kyun bol rahe hai?

M:Nandini for all the things Alya did yesterday,I wanted to apologise on behalf of her!!
She shouldn't hv slapped u!!!

Nandini remembers how she had slapped Alya in return

N: Woh sab chodiye!!
Bus yeh samjhiye ki maine us problem Ko solve kar di!!
Now all is fine

Saying this Nandini turns to leave

Manik gets up and says

M:Waise I heard that u r not interested in me!!!😂

Nandini's jaw literally dropped!!!

Nandini's POV
How did he come to knw that she said this!!
Did Alya say!!!!
Oh godd!!!

She knew that he is up for a round of teasing!!
Even she didn't want to give up
She turns and says!!

N:Why??u want me to be interested?🙈😁

Now it was Manik's chance to get shocked!
He didn't expect this reply from her!!
But he manages to hide his shock and speaks!

M:The slap was also too tight!!!tumse Bach ke rehna padega!!

Manik laughs
Nandini closes her eyes tight in embarrassment

N:Wohh!!!I am sry!!I know that she is Ur girlfriend!
But!......

M:Heyy!!! Heyy!!u don't hv to be sry!!
U did the right thing!!
She doesn't hv any rights to treat u like that!

N:She told u about our little dirty fight?

M:Nope!!I myself witnessed it!!
I had forgotten my phone !...
Woh Lene aaya tha!!
But now I thank the stars for having me forget my phone!!!
It's only because of that I could see ur sherni roop!!
Filmy dialogues and all haan!!!

N:Haan hoon main sherni!!!
But!!!!!
U look really cute in pink!!!!!

M:What??!!!!!

N:Pink Cholii!!!!!!!!!!😂

Saying this Nandini runs out of the room...

Manik was shocked to his roots!!

Manik's POV
How did she know about the choli??
Oh Yeahhh!!!!the photo in the room!
Toh woh chupa rahi thi kal!!!
Nandiniiiiiiiiiii 😬😂
