TaaRey : Mirror world

Chapter 23

Hey TaaReyians... Here's the next chapter

In Auditiorium----

Manik - so it's decided... 1st love story me it's Swayam n Sharon... 2nd me Shivam n Sneha... 3rd me Mukti n Cabir.... 4th me Alya n Dhruv...
Taani - hume 2 couples aur chahiye
Swayam - 1 to Manik and Nandini ho jaenge.
MaNan - No!!!

All jumps hearing them.

Sharon - guys... U scared us!!!
Manik - sorry... Nandini n I can't b the couple.
Swayam - aisa krte h... Rey and Nandini can be the couple and Manik and Taani... what say?
All - cool.

Rey and Nandini look at each other helplessly while Manik and Taani are close now... So they have no issue in pairing with each other.

They rehearse for a while and leave to get some rest.

With Manik n Taani----

Taani - yy r u guys not together?
Manik - what r u talking about?

He tries to avoid the question

Taani - nice try Manik... now tell me, what is it that's stopping u guys?

Manik's flashback-----

Manik - just stay away from me!!
Nyonika - well, the matter of the fact is, I'm ur mother n u r my son... So u'll have to do as I say!
Manik - look, I get it... For money u married dad n all... He must dance on ur fingers... But neither am I blind nor m in deaf. I heard u saying that u r slowly transferring all my n dad's shares to ur name. Which i won't let it happen.
Nyonika - either u can stop me... Or stay away from Nandini.

Nandini heard everything n broke up with Manik. She couldn't bear that Manik n his father or her family could face the consequences of her being in their life.

End of Flashback-----

Taani - hmm... Something's wrong with Nyonika then... What's she hiding?
Manik - I have no bloody idea!!! I tried to find it out but I got nthng out of it.
Taani - u said she's after ur dad's money n shares?
Manik - yeah...
Taani - cool. Leave it up to me...
Manik - what r u gonna do?
Taani - u'll find that out sooner. Trust me.

Manik smiles at his new close frnd.

Manik - but be careful. She can be dangerous.
Taani - I can handle that buddy.

Saying so she leaves.

A few days pass with rehearsals n LLHH.

Sharon - this is not happening yaar!!
Alya - mtlb??!!
Sharon - chemistry dikh hi nhi rhi h!!
Cabir - Nandini n Manik should rehearse together... Kitne achhe lgte h dono sath me. Rab ne bna di jodi... Haaye!!!

He says sheepishly.

So Taani n Manik switch. MaNan now rehearse together n TaaRey too.

It's obviously awkward but they'll have to deal with it.

Soon Nyonika arrives----

Nyonika - how dare u Manik Malhotra!!!

They all stood shocked.

Manik - what's wrong? Isn't home enough to torture me that u've reached here too!
Nyonika - I have no interest in seeing ur face, but I think u like seeing my face.
Manik - what do u want??!!

Nyonika throws a few docs on his face.

Manik - what's this?
Nyonika - u could answer that better!!!
Manik - I have no bloody idea what u r talking about!
Nyonika - all my shares are transferred to Ahaan's name, and the signature is urs n his.

Ahaan - Manik's dad.

Manik - what tactic is it now? I have no interest in ur bloody shares or property. I didn't do anything.
Nyonika - so how r all my shares transferred to u!! Infact whatever shares I transferred of Ahaan's are back to him!!!

She shuts her mouth after spilling the beans.

Taani plays a recording.

Recording (Nyonika) - yes, transfer all the shares to Aryan. This Dad-son duo r good for nthng. Yup, u don't worry about the docs... I'll get it done.

The recording stops.

Nyonika - what the hell is it??!!
Ahaan - who the hell is Aryan?

Ahaan, Manik's dad arrives in the auditorium.

Nyonika - Ahaan... u were in Australia. How come u r here?
Ahaan - I don't really think I'm answerable to u Nyonika. Now... who's Aryan?

Taani - I'm sorry to interrupt Ahaan uncle... But I think I can tell u the truth.

Taani passes a few photographs of Nyonika n Aryan, who's nyonika illegitimate kid.

Ahaan - ye bacha kaun h?
Nyonika - ye... wo...
Taani - ye Nyonika n Raghav ka illegitimate child h uncle. She had an affair after her wedding with u. N Nyonika wanted all ur property n shares to be transferred to her biological son. Ye baat Nandini ko pta chl gyi thi, but she had no proof against her... Isliye Nyonika ne blackmail kia to stay away from each other, or she'll get her revenge from Nandini's family.

Ahaan gives a tight slap to Nyonika.

Ahaan - u've disappointed me Nyonika!!! Maine tumse shaadi ki thi tumhare dad ki last wish k liye... N this is how u return the favor. Tumhe 1 week me divorce papers mil jaenge.

Saying so he leaves.

Manik runs n hugs taani tight.

Manik - thank you so much Taani!!!

All were confused while just Taani n Manik understood what was really happening.

Taani - hey... What r frnds for!!! Vaise b mujhe tumhara ye rota hua shakl kuch khaas pasand nhi.
Swayam - guys!!! Koi hume btaega.. yha ho kya rha h?

Taani n Manik explained Everything to the team.

All - wow!
Swayam - who could've thought?

Nandini moved closed to Manik but he moved apart, this upset her n taani looked at him suspiciously.

Taani signalled Manik and he just blinked at her that he'll tell her the prblm.

They all rehearsed for a while n called it a day.

Manik sat at his usual place n today Taani bought coffee for both of them.

Taani - kya baat h?
Manik - Nyonika won't just stay silent.
Taani - mtlb?
Manik - she'll definitely plan something against us. Infact all of us. Mainly dad, me, u n Nandini. N I can't let anything happen to Nandini coz of me.
Taani - hmm. So, what's the plan?
Manik - Nyonika's weakness is his son.
Taani - yup.
Manik - we have to do something jisse us k mn me darr baith jaye n she never thinks of hurting someone else.
Taani - what's on ur mind?

Manik shares the plan to her n she agrees.

Taani - to tb tk u n Nandini?
Manik - We r gonna stay apart. Also, don't let anyone know ur weaknesses.
Taani - u mean Bhai n Sharon?
Manik - n Rey too. Don't deny it... I know u deeply care for him.

Taani shifts her gaze to the ground.

Here I end this chapter guys. Hope u all like it.
