It was 6:30 when Nandini came.

"Bohot jaldi aa gayi." Mukti said, while hugging her.

"Tumne dress code ke baare main itna late bola, mujhe sab change karna pada." Nandini said.

"Oops, sorry!" Mukti said and walked inside with her.

"Hey Nanduuuu!" Alya came out from the bedroom and hugged Nandini.

"Heyyy! You look great!" Nandini said, looking at Alya.

"Hai na? She says it's facial. I say it's sex." Mukti said.

"Mukti, relax." Zubin intervened and pulled her away. Nandini looked puzzled.

"You know Mukti na! Ignore!" Alya said, and added a laugh to look casual.

"Right..." Nandini said, not convinced. Just then Dhruv entered.

"Heyy! Dhruuuuv!" Nandini hugged him.

"Hey Nandu!" Dhruv hugged her and patted her hair. Just then he looked at Alya, who had a slight blush.

"Manik?" Dhruv asked.

Nandini broke eye contact and looked away.

"He's coming." Nandini replied and went inside.

There was no one in the living room so Alya approached Dhruv.

"You look tired."

"I am." Dhruv said, massaging his temple.

"Kya hua?" Alya stepped closer.

"HELLLLOO!" A voice boomed in the hallway.

Alya stepped back the very second and started fiddling with her phone.

"Meri pyaari Alya! Aa gayi tu!" Cabir entered the house and opened his arms.

"Such a drama queen." Alya went and hugged him.

"Feelings mat hurt kar yaar!" Cabir said dramatically.

"Aww! Guysss!! Cabiraaa is here!" Alya announced.

Dhruv gave Cabir a bro-hug. Zubin, Mukti and Nandini came to the hall.

"Piya tuuuu! Ab toh aaja!" Cabir sang and hugged Mukti.

"So cheesy Cabir!" Mukti laughed and hugged him back.

"Mere pyaar ko thukrao mat tum sab! Nandini, lag ja gale...ki phir-" Nandini didn't let him finish and hugged him.

"Apne besuri awaz se mat gaaya kar." Mukti said.

"What? He's a gem!" Zubin teased and gave Cabir a side-hug.

"I don't know if you insulted me or complimented me, but ok." Cabir said and sat on the couch.

"Sab aa gaye? Ek minute, Manik?" Mukti asked.

Everyone looked at Nandini.

"What? I am not his parent! He'll come on his own." Nandini said, shrugging.

"Jeez okay, chill." Zubin said.

Nandini shook her head and looked at her phone, the wallpaper had their picture.

"Call him na!" Alya said.

"You call him." Nandini said.

"Arre? Tu kar." Mukti said.

"Guys I...-"

Mukti snatched her phone and called Manik.

Nandini bit her lip nervously. Little did they know Manik hadn't picked up her calls all day.
