"Cabir....Cabir!" Manik shook his brother who was busy on his phone. "Dude..hum club aaye hai. Tu kya phone mein ghussa hai."

"Yaar yeh Navya paata nahi kya kar rahi hai. Subha thoda sa jhagra ho gaya aur phir pura din na koi call na msg....kuch nahi." Cabir complained.

Abhi & Manik exchanged an amused look.

"Obviously...jab jhagra hota hai toh yeh toh expected hi hai." Abhi told him. "In fact....tu pakka aaj raat living room ke sofa pe sone wala hai."

"Seriously?" Manik asked. "Mukti bhi yahi karti hai kya? Lekin maine toh aaj tak nahi dekha."

"Nahi...Mukti aisa nahi karti." Abhi said. Cabir & Manik nodded. "Woh mujhe humare bathroom ke zameen pe sone ke liye chod deti hai.....but Im sure Navya Mukti se zyada badi dil wali hai toh tujhe shayad living room ka sofa mil jayega."

"Haha Ha Ha Hahaha!" Cabir & Manik started laughing loudly.

"Shut up guys."

Meanwhile, Nandini and Navya also entered the same club and sat at a table on the other side so they didnt see Manik & his brothers.

"Acha Navu ek baat bata...tu aise mere saath club aayi hai. Tere pati aur sasural waalon ko problem toh nahi hai na?" Nandini asked,

"Nahi Nahi...meri saas aur sasur...dono world ke BEST saas sasur hai. Aur Cabir bhi kuch nahi bolega....vaise bhi woh toh khud aaj apne bhaiyyon ke saath kahi gaye hai."

"Oh...kahan?"

"Mujhe kya paata. Mukti ne bataya tha lekin maine details nahi pucha. Meri abhi cabir se katti hai na...isi liye." Navya said.

"Kyun? Kya hua?" Nandini asked.

"Kuch nahi...yeh Cabir na haar baat pe mazak karta rehta hai. Main serious baat karti hoon tab bhi mazak karta hai." Navya replied.

"Bas itni si baat? Yeh koi burri baat thodi na hai...masti mazak karna toh acha hai na. Tune hi toh kaha tha...tujhe serious khadus type ke aadmi pasand nahi hai" Nandini said. Soon the girls started ordering drinks...Nandini had alcoholic drinks while Navya drank mocktails.

"Guys...drinks khatam ho gaya." Manik who was already swaying from the drinks he had shouted over the loud music. "Ill go get more."

After Manik walked away, Abhi turned to Cabir with a drink in his hand. "Isne kuch bola kya?"

"Paata nahi..." Cabir shrugged. Meanwhile after the waiter was taking a bit too long to bring their next set of drinks, Nandini decided to go see for herself, leaving Navya sitting at the table. While she was sitting, Navya suddenly noticed Cabir dancing....completely drunk.

"Cabir..... yahan?" Navya got up and marched over to him and tapped on his shoulder. Abhi and Cabir froze and just stared at Navya.

"Dude.." Cabir leaned towards Abhi. "Main shayad Navya ko bohot miss kar raha hoon...yahan dekh raha hoon main."

"Acha?" Abhi asked her then rubbed his eyes and looked again."Phir shayad main bhi usse miss kar raha hoon."

"Cabir! Abhi! Main yahi hoon." Navya told them. "Tum dono toh Manik ke saath gaye they na? Kaha hai woh?"

"Woooohhhh...." Abhi slowly spun around in his spot trying to look for Manik.

Cabir bent down and looked under the table. "Yahan nahi hai."

Navya sighed and smacked her forehead with her palm. "Hai matarani...inn dono ka yeh haal hai toh Manik ka kya haal hoga?"

Manik was at the bar ordering more drinks when Nandini came over. Just as Nandini reached there, Manik turned around and Nandini slipped on some water that had spilt. Out of instinct, Nandini grabbed onto Manik's jacket for support, but since he wasnt very stable himself.....all she did was pull him down with her. Manik was about to shout at her but when he saw her big doe eyes blinking at him in a confused manner and her cute round face that had a small pout....his anger melted in a matter of seconds. He was really attracted to her....a sort of attraction that he never felt for Kritika.

**************************

Next Morning

Nandini woke up with a heavy head and found herself under soft white sheets. At first she didnt think much of it and just thought Navya dropped her home the night before but then as she stretched her legs she hit another pair of legs. Nandini slowly but cautiously turned over and saw.....the back of a man sleeping next to her. He was shirtless and thats when Nandini realized she wasnt wearing her dress either. Nandini looked under the sheets and saw she didnt have her underwear on and the man was the same.

For a sceond, Nandini was just too stunned to say a word but then she smiled. "Kya baat hai Nandu......your very first one night stand!"

She then looked under the sheets again and gasped. "Wow...yeh toh mera ex boyfriend se bhi zyada bada hai..."

Hearing Nandini's voice, the man...who was of course Manik stirred slightly in his sleep.

"Wait...this is only a one night stand if I leave...haan yeh ek hi baar hona hai. Nikal Nandu nikal." Nandini got out of bed and looked around for her clothes. "Arre yaar...mera dress kahan hai?"

When she couldnt find her dress she saw Manik's clothes. "Ek kaam karti hoon, iske kapre pehen ke jaati hoon....wait, lekin phir yeh kya pehenega?"

Nandini thought for bit then shrugged. "Who cares...mujhe dobara thodi na milna hai. Vaise bhi main ladki hoon...aise bina kapron ke toh nahi jaa sakti."

She then grabbed his clothes and pulled on his jean, his shirt and even his leather jacket. From the side table to took her phone and slipped on her shoes which were by the door. She first poked her head out to see if the coast was clear and then snuck out.

As soon as she got to the lobby, she saw that there were many many reporters waiting outside.

"Shit...itne saare reporters kaha se aa gaye? Ab main iss halat mein bahar kaise jaun...sab dekh lenge." Nandini looked at herself. "Idea....main thode waqt ke liye yahi pe doosra kamra le leti hoon. Jab reporters chala jayega toh main ghar chali jaunga."

She went to the reception and book a room for herself. After she got to the room, Nandini flopped down on the bed. "Vaise....yeh reporters kyun aaye they? Koi famous insaan hotel mein rukha hai kya?"

RING! RING!

Nandini was pulled out of her thoughts as her phone rung. She saw Navya's name on the screen and quickly picked it up.

*Phonecall*

Navya: Nandu tu kaha chali gayi thi kal raat? Drinks lene gayi thi aur phir wapas hi nahi aayi. Kabse call kar rahi hoon...kaha thi tu. Main kitni pareshan ho gayi thi aur-

Nandini: NAVYA! Do min chup karegi toh main bhi jawab de paungi.

Navya: Oh...sorry.

Nandini: Its okay....main actually......I kinda was with a guy.

Navya: Kya! Kaun?

Nandini: Woh...paata nahi. Mujhe thik se kuch yaad nahi hai. I think I was really drunk. Bas aaj subha main ek hotel room mein ek ladke ke saath uthe gayi. He was still sleeping toh main uske kapre pehen ke nikal gayi...lekin itne saare log hai yahan, I couldnt leave the hotel. I just booked another room here.

Navya: WHAT! (Laughing) Uske kapre? Kyun? Tumne khudke kapre kyun nahi pehen?

Meanwhile Manik had woken up and realized what happened the night before...he also realized his clothes were all gone. And around the time Navya called Nandini, Cabir decided to call Manik.

M: ....She took my clothes!

C(laughing his head off): WHAT?

M: Im serious....yahan mere joote aur phone ke elava kuch nahi hai...aur-

Manik feels something underneath him and pulls out Nandini's dress, staring in disbelief

M: What the hell? Khud ke dress chodke mere kapre le gayi yeh ladki!

C: HaHa Ha Hahaha Haha!

M: Cabir seriously shut up varna main phone mein ghuske tujhe marunga! Im butt naked here!

C (still laughing a bit): Acha ok...yeh baata. Who was this girl?

M: Mujhe kya paata? I was fully drunk. Kuch yaad nahi hai. Tum dono ne bhi ek baar bhi phone karke nahi dekha ke main kaha hoon....some brothers you two are.

C: Manik...we were also drunk. Navya humme ghar leke aayi, she was there are the club. Uske kisi purani dost ke saath.

M: Whatever man, just send me some clothes!

C: Haan haan...bhejta hoon. Chill.
