______________________________________

Nandini was cleaning the kitchen and Manik dosed off on the living room sofa. When Nandini came back she made him lay comfortably on the sofa tucked a blanket around him, switched of the AC. She started doing her work on her laptop. The bell rang that's when Nandini noticed that it was past 5 in the evening she glanced at Manik whether his sleep was disturbed but it wasn't, before the bell rangs again she rushes to the door only to see Neyonika there, she was entered and saw Manik sleeping

Neyonika: Isse kya hua?

Nandini: Fever

Neyonika: What? Kab? (she went near him)

Nandini: Since last night I guess, don't worry fever is down now but he needs rest for atleast few days

Neyonika: How?

Nandini: “Don't force, compel” (Neyonika gave her horrified look and turned to Manik giving a tight slap on his right hand and now she was hitting him)

Manik POV

What the?! Who the hell is slapping me!!?? Ma!
"Manik Malhotra, up, get up!!" she roared

"Mom, he is sleeping Mom, jane do, he is not well now let him recover" Nandini said from behind her. Till now I am up both my ladies glaring me

“YOU!” Mom started but Nandini held her by shoulders an whispered something in her ears and both my ladies have evil grins on their faces now.... Ok trust me..... I am scared right now... This both are deadly combination a smart business woman and a shrewd media woman.... God, I am so dead. Mom came to me and creased my hairs

“How is my baby” that sugar coated voice, I smell trouble

“I am fine Mom, I will be working for tomorrow, no worries”

“Dare you set your foot out of these house for next four day” my Mom warned me

“Waise bhi I cancelled your meetings and shoot for few days” Nandini dropped that bomb, these two are impossible

“Don't you mess with my work” I warned her

“Oh you can mess with your health, and I can't mess with your work, huh hu Manik Malhotra” she rooted

“You” I said and there started another argument

“Shut up you both” Mom said on top of her voice and we stopped dead “Nandini I need a coffee and You” she pointed to me “go get fresh”

Aaah what I am her son she can't be rude on me, I swear they both have planned something

“I will see you” I threatened Nandini an started moving to my room

“Oh you have to bear me one more day Malhotra” I heard her saying from my back making me stop where I was. Shit! How can I forget she is leaving tomorrow. I have to do something but for now I have to get out of these clothes I am wearing from yesterday.

Manik went to his room and just freshen up and came back to see Fab4 and Navya back

Manik: Where is Abhi?

Mukti: On his way back from Pune

Manik: Wo Pune gaya hai?

Cabir: Had a meeting there, tu bata, Nandini was saying you have fever

Manik: Oh, it's nothing but both these ladies have banned my exit from the house, God!

Aliya: They are right Manik, you take care of everyone there should be someone who should take care of you, hai na? (Manik smiled and bobbed his head when there was a plate of food kept in front of him. With puppy eyes he looked up only to meet eyes who were glaring him)

Nandini: Finish this now! (all silently laughed)

Manik: Nandini why are you giving me this boring patient food

Nandini: Because Manik you are a patient (and all laughed out loud)

Manik: No no no I am not eating it

Nandini: Manik!

Manik: Arey let me finish, I am not eating it unless.....

All except MaNan: Unless?? (Manik eyed Nandini and then the plate. Nandini made a helpless face sat and started feeding him) ooooooo!!!

Cabir: Waise I think Manik since you are not feeling well why don't we go out for change in atmosphere we all need it I guess

Druv: I think Cabir is right

Nandini: How smart of you?? (she said eyeing Cabir and Manik who gulped audibly)

Cabir POV

God save you Manik Malhotra, she knows you in an out and trust me she is a competition to you, I am sure she will bring back that old Manik but for you this process is going to make mad!! Ahh! But trust me we are going to love this, seeing you restless, pulling your hairs and going all mad
