F. R. I. E. N. D. S - Epilogue

2 Months Later:

Nandini, where's my white shirt?" Manik shouted from his room while Nandini was in kitchen along with Nyonika. "Its in the cupboard Manik" she replied as loud as he shouted. He came out and called her again. "Ab kya hua!" Nyonika and Nandini came out from the kitchen. "I'm not able to find neither my watch nor my wallet, charger and phone" Manik said when Nyonika gawked at him. "You must learn to take care of your things Manik, why will she always have to help you! Chota bacha nahi ho tum" Nyonika said and Manik made a grumpy face. Manik signed Nandini to meet him in the room. She made an excuse to meet him.

"Manik!" she went inside slowly. "What was that!" he asked angrily. "What?" she asked as if she doesn't know anything. "I've ironed your saree, kal raat hi iska matching blouse boutique se le aaya, phone full charge kiya, yaha tak ki power bank bhi full charge kiya, purse, watch, your accessories sab set hai, but what did you do? Shirt tho naya hai so iron nahi kiya, where are my pants, watch, wallet, phone bhi charge nahi kiya, is this the way you call both of us equal" Manik said. "I'm sorry Manik, I woke up late today na!" she apologized. "Upar se mom soch rahi hai ki tum mere saare kaam kar rahi ho" Manik looked at her. "Sorry bol diya na, aur kya karu?" she said with a puppy face. "Waise you can do many more things to make it up" Manik hints her.

"Of course I can do a lot more things like..." Nandini said running her fingers in his hair and kissed his cheek. "Ye kiss tha!" Manik asked disappointed. "Neeche maa wait kar rahi hogi, hume baahar jaana hai, so not now Manik" she sweetly rejected him and went out. "Manik, ab nahi tho kabhi nahi, you should hurry up" he said to himself, got ready and came down. They all sat at the breakfast table and Nyonika looked at both Manik and Nandini admiring. Manik looked at her and was about to speak but Nyonika spoke before him. "Complementing your white saree with purple blouse is such a marvellous idea Nandini, this is looking so good on you" Nyonika complemented her. "Ye idea mera nahi, Alya ka hai" Nandini said. "What I'm I even listening, I thought you'll complement both of us but you just gave a complement to a saree! Seriously mom!" Manik asked unbelievably.

"Tum dono ka kya, har roz love birds ki tarah dates, gifts, dinners ye tho chalta rahega. Kabhi wo kuch keh kar maayke chali jayegi, kabhi tum usse ladke hospital jaoge, and you'll go to pacify each other even before I thought to come to you. Ye roz roz chalta rahega na!" Nyonika said. Shrikant had remained silent. "Aap kuch bol kyu nahi rahe papa?" Nandini asked. "Aaj se hum ye sab miss karne wale hai na beta" he said sadly. Nandini and Nyonika instantly turned sad. "Dad, hume bahar jaana hai ab ye faltu baate kyu! Come on Nandini, eat soon" Manik rushed her. "Kal se, I won't even get to eat like this with my family, aaj tho chain se khaane do" Nandini glared at him. "Your wish, shaadi pe muhurat se nahi pahunchegi tu" Manik said and she got ready. "I have invited your chacha chachi for lunch, try to come fast" Nyonika told and they agreed.

"Bhayya, ye catering wala ab tak aaya kyu nahi, udhar bhi kuch phool lagana hai, time kam hai aur kaam zyada hai, aap please kuch jaldi kijiye" Navya said to someone in haste and she bumped into her dad. "Navya beta, zara sambalke, tum kaam chodo, jaa kar ready ho jao, I will look into it" Chandrashekhar said. "Catering wale ab tak nahi aaya papa aur.." she went on saying. "Navya, shaadi ke ghar mein ye tho hoga hi, you first go and get ready" he said again. "Arre tum ab tak ready nahi hui" Cabir asked Navya. "Jaise pooch raha hai ki tum poore tayyar hokar aaye ho" Chandrashekhar taunted him. "I'm eveready!" Cabir said.

"Arrangements are almost done right! Do you guys need any help?" Aryaman asked. "I did everything at your wedding and ab tu guest bankar itne late aaya" Cabir said. "Ye madam ki wajhe se hi late hua" Aryaman threw it on Sanju. Navya was about to say something, "Dekho Nandini aur Alya ab tak nahi aaya, hum hi first aaya hai na" Sanju said. "Hum pe shikhayat karna band karo
Sanju" Nandini and Alya said at the same time. "Par tum late aaye ho na" Navya said. "Alya aur Dhruv ke liye hume wait karna pada" Manik said to Navya. "Hum kaha late kiya hai" Dhruv asked innocent.
