Friends with Benefits....

Part 3

In Manik's Cabin,

Manik: Hello, Jaan did u reach your gallery safely

Nandini: Haan Manik, it's just 1 hour away from our Mansion and don't worry I even have bodyguards with me, so my possessive Monster don't worry, how was your meeting

Manik: Meeting was perfect and yes u have to come to the office tomorrow for some signatures as don't forget u are the owner of this Empire

Nandini: Manik, u run the business, then y the hell did u make me the signing authority u know na, I don't know anything about Business

Manik: Princess u just have to comes sign baba, and regarding Business, when u are with me I don't need anything else

Nandini: ok bye and wish me luck, I hope my exhibition goes well

Manik: Nandu u are my lucky charm, u don't need the wishes as u are best in your field

Nandini: Accha bye the people's are arriving at exhibition and Aryamaan also come

Manik smiles

Manik: cool bye take care

He drifts into thoughts and looks at Nandini's photo on his table, He remembers her words to get in a serious relationship

Manik: serious relationship is not my cup of tea, how should explain this to Nandini, she's not wrong but what it my Jaan goes away from me due to another girl in my life, no I can't let that happen

Someone knocks on door

Manik: Yes come in (A Girl comes in) Alya u here

Alya: Hii Manik, how are u

Manik: come to the point Alya

Alya: Manik woh two days ago my dad

Manik: shut up Alya, y can't u just understand, ur dad came to me and ask my hand to marry u seriously

Alya: then what's wrong Manik, we can have a big Business merger in our companies

Manik: I don't need any deal Ms. Alya, I'm more richer than ur dad

Alya: Great, that's what I was thinking so u don't want any relationship right

Manik: we just spent a night together that doesn't mean I'll date u, it was just a one night stand

Alya: great, so now listen to me, even I don't want a relationship I want to focus on my career, so I have a deal for u

Manik: what deal

Alya: the deal is we both should act as a couple in front of my dad, just acting and dad will sign a deal with u and then we will tell him that we need to spend time so we will get engaged after a year and in that one year I'll be settled in my career, then

Manik: then we will break up, and tell ur dad we are not comfortable with each other

Alya: Exactly, like this neither we have to do engagement nor we will be in any relationship and u will get the deal too

Manik thinks " it's a great Idea, by this way after break up even Jaan won't ask me to get in a serious relationship "

Manik: Cool, but we will do this acting in front of Nandini too

Alya: Nandini, but she's your best friend na, y would u lie to her

Manik: none of your Business, (He stands and forwards his hands) deal

Alya: Deal

They shakes hands and smile

At Nandini's Art Gallery...

The Exhibition was going on, everyone was appreciating Nandini and her work

Aryamaan comes to her

Aryamaan: wow Nandini, u each and every painting is amazing, I loved it

Nandini hugs him

Nandini: Thank you so much

Aryamaan: so if u are free today shall we go on a dinner date and then long drive

Nandini smiles

Nandini: oh sure why not

Aryamaan: but your bodyguards, I'm not comfortable they are always around u

Nandini: don't worry I'll send them away and after the exhibition ends we will leave

Aryamaan nods while Nandini goes to the bodyguards

Nandini: u guys leave now, I'm going out with Aryamaan

Bodyguard: but Ma'am Manik sir will kill us, if we leave u alone

Nandini: I'm boss of your boss, If He's monster then I'm Mega Monster, just leave

She speaks sternly but the gaurd doesn't move, she dials to Manik

Manik: yes Jaan

Nandini: Manik, ask bodyguards to leave me alone, I wanna go on dinner date with Aryamaan

Manik: Nandu Jaan, they are for your security baba, plus u who stopped u for your dinner date

Nandini: Manik, I'm not comfortable with them, I'll take care of me I promise and if any problem comes then I'll call u the next moment

Manik: but

Nandini: no ifs and buts, if u don't take them then I won't talk to u for two days

Manik frowns hearing her as he can bear anything but not Nandini's silence

Manik: y do u always start the emotional drama yaar

Nandini: coz this works on u always

Manik: Fine but u should be at Mansion Before 1 AM, am I clear

He spekas sternly, Nandini agrees and He asks the guards to leave
