M: sorry mukti aaj baat nahi karr sakta! Jab tumhari subhe hogi tab baat karenge!! Tum sojao!! And yea aapni bhabhi ko mera number de dena!!

He closed his laptop and left for the meeting with cabir.

AFTERNOON

Manik and Cabir were sitting in the Famous Tim Hortons coffee shop. Cabir bought a honey dip donut and Iced cappuccino while manik about double double coffee.

M: nandini ne call nahi ki!
C: (smirking) ohhh nandini ne call nahi ki!! Idiot! Wahan raat hai! Kaise baat karegi!!
M: lekin jab waha dinn hoga tab to humari raat hogi! Abh kya karu?
C: (dramatically) Kya karun hayye...kuch kuch hota hai!!!

Manik glared at him and checked his mobile. There were two missed calls from home, one had a voice messaged attached to it. He checked the time and they came 20 minutes ago. He put the phone next to his ear and listened to the message.
It was mukti's message.

Mu: bhai  mujhe 1 ghante mein call karna skype pe! Mom ko aapse baat karni hai! I know yaha raat ke 12 baje hain but dont worry we are all awake.

Manik checked the time on his watch and it said 3 pm.

M: (mind) abhi wahan to 12 baje honge! Aur mukti  ka msg bhi aaya! Hotel jaake phone karta hu!

Manik told cabir that he wants to skype home. Cabir nodded and both finished their coffee/cappuccino.

INDIA

Nyeonika and aliya were sitting in the hall, drinking coffee. It was 12 am and they were waiting for manik's call. Suddenly, a skype call came on mukti's laptop as it was placed on the side table beside the sofa.  Nyeonika answered the call and saw it was manik's.

Ny: maani beta kaise ho?
M: main theek hu mom! Aap soyi nahi abhi tak?
Ny: nahi maine kaha tere waha afternoon hai to main call karti hu! Aur waise bhi hum sab jaag hi rahe hain! Bas Atul aur Anjali soo gaye hain!!

Nyeonika kept on talking while manik was scanning the hall behind  Nyeonika to get a glimpse of nandini.

Ny: (teasing) arre manik mere piche kisse dhoond rahe ho?
M: ahh mom mukti nazar nahi arahi?
Ny: mukti ya koi aur?
M: ahh-woh-
Ny: seede seede bol ke tu nandini ko dhoond raha hai!

Manik froze as he did a crime and was caught redhanded. Yes he was finding nandini , but why?

MANIK'S POV

Main usse hi dhoond raha hu! Lekin kyu?
Kyu meri naazrein itni betaab hai uske ekk jhalak keliye?
jab woh saamne hoti hai, to main hosh kho deta hu?

MANIK POV END

Ny: kahan kho gaya?
M: huh? Nahi mom aise koi baat nahi hai! Main mukti ko hi dhoond raha tha!
Ny: (chuckling) acha? Tum kehte ho to maan leti ho Lekin mujhe abhi bhi lagg raha hei ke tum nandini ko hi dhoond rahe ho!!!

Before either of them could say anything, they heard mukti shouting and nandini laughing. Manik was surprised to see this side of nandini. He always thought she was a chup rehne wali, innocent nandini  but here on skype he saw a cheerful, shararti nandini.

Nyeonika turned her head back to see nandini running with a paper in her hand and mukti running behind her. Nandini raised her with the paper in her hand and mukti jumped and tried to get it. Nandini was laughing while mukti was shouting.

Mu: bhabhi!! Kyun tang kari hain mujhe?
N: awwwwwww mukuu!! Lekin mujhe bohot mazaa araha hai!!!
Mu: (pout) bhabhi!!
N: (same expression) mukuuu!!

Nandini pouted like mukti and then burst out laughing. Nyeonika laughed while manik was confused what was happening here.

Ny: nandu kya hoa? Itna hass kyu rahi ho?
Aur mukti tum itna ghussa kyu ho!!!
