Manan:Hamesha. Forever.

8.

It was almost six in the evening manik and Mahir had left from pune. They were both travelling in the same car. Wanting to spend some time together, Mahir volunteered to drive. Nandini was sitting in her room and reading a book when she received a call from manik.

Nandini:Hey!

Manik:haan hi! Accha suno meri baat......mujhe na idea mil gaya ki chachi se kya kahege......

Nandini:kya?

Manik: tum na abhi chachi ko bolo ki mere yahan ek chhoti se gathering hai for friends. Aur bolna ki aaj raat sb wohi ruk ne wale hai. I m dead sure chachi maan jayegi.

Nandini: tch manik phir wohi baat. Tum kyu nahi samjhte.

Manik: Kya nandini. Isme kya galat hai.

Nandini: kya galat nahi hai manik. Tum hi batao. Chachi andhi nahi hai. Bohot acche se dikhta bhi hai aur samjhti bhi hai woh.

Manik: agar tumhe itna hi yaqeen hai na nandini ki woh samjhti hai toh phir sach bta do.

Nandini: kya batao ki manik ne bulaya  Kyu bulaya yeh nahi pta bas bulaya hai apne ghar, akele.Toh main jao? Aur tumhe lagta hai chachi permission de degi.

Manik: yeh tum janti ho aur main bhi ki tum yeh nahi bol paogi chachi se. Isse accha toh mera idea hai.

Nandini: manik please.

Manik: please what nandini?

Nandini was highly irritated with manik's careless behaviour while manik was now pissed listening to nandini deny all his attempts.

Nandini: tum samjhte kyu nahi mani. Ab main aur jhoot nahi bolne wali chachi se. I m tired of lying each time. Aur hum jhoot kyu bole manik. Kya hum kuch galat kar rhe hai?

Manik: nandini......Fine theek hai. Agar aise baat hai toh aaj hi hum chachi ko bta dege about us.

Nandini: manik I don't belong to a family that is like yours. Chachi ight be very cool. But Chacha and Amms. What about them. Manik my family is a very conserved one.

Manik: toh conserved hai toh kabhi btayege hi nahi. Humesha yun hi manik nhi, manik no, manik aaj nahi, manik go, manik Koi aa jayega yahi karte rahe ga kya hum.

Nandini: we need to give time to my family manik. Tumne dekha hai na Amms doesn't really like you much. You first need to get into her good books. And Chacha.....he is very very protective about me and Rishabh. And abhi bhai ki toh baat hi alag hai. Tum kyu nahi samjhte.

Manik: main Sirf itna maang rha hoon nandini that I want you to be there with me today. Mujhe nahi pta kitna time lagega to sort out everything isiliye main bol rha hoon ki aaj raat mere yahan ruk jao.

Nandini: aur main bhi sirf yahi bol rhi hoon ki hum yeh kal college main bhi kar skate hai jo bhi tumhe sort out karna hai. Main kal raat ko ek baaje ghar aayi. Aaj phir tum chahte ho ki main tumhare saath raho. Chacha chachi ke saamne kya kahu main.

Manik now lost the little patience that he had and yelled.

Manik: FINE. KARO JO KARNA HAI TUMHE. MUJHE AB INN SAB CHEEZON KI AADAT DAAL LAANI CHAHIYE. EK DIN MERE ITNE QAREEB AUR DUSRE DIN MUJHE HI DHAKKA MAAR KE DUR KAR DO.

What manik didn't realise was that Mr. Malhotra who was seated in the car too could hear their conversation. Mahir was shocked seeing his son controlling his anger. As soon as manik yelled Mahir placed his hand on manik's shoulder. Manik who was too drowned in his anger ruthlessly jerked Mahir's hand away.

Nandini: Manik meri baat toh samjho.......

Manik: nahi samjhna mujhe kuch. Tum karo apni mann maani. Aur mujhse baat sirf tab karna jab tumne apna decision badal liya ho.
