Hey, Fam. :)

Happy Reading...

Morning, Malhotra Mansion

Manik woke up first and saw Nandini snuggling into him.

Manik(excited): Happy Birthday, birthday girl.

Nandu(smiled): Thank you, birthday girl’s boyfriend.

Manik(chuckled): Ab jaldi uth and let's get ready before everyone barge into the room for wishing you.

Nandu(sleepily): Nahi na, Manik. Aaj ka date change kar de and tell them, today's not my birthday. Mujhe sona hai.

Manik(reasoned): Murthy, hume hamare parents ko batana bhi hai na about us before they get to know from somewhere else.

Nandu got up suddenly making Manik worried. 

Nandu(panicked): You ok? Kal sab sapna nahi tha na?

Manik(chuckles): Nahi, Nandini. Kuch sapna nahi tha. We were on the cliff yesterday night and tune apna birthday celebrate kiya by cutting a pizza.

Nandu(sighing in relief): Oh yeah. How much I was worried about missing my pizza.

Manik(glared): Matlab tu mere liye tensed nahi thi?

Nandu(huffed): Dude, stop being jealous of my pizza.

Manik pouts which she ignores and gets up to leave but sits back holding her head.

Nandu(frightened): How can I go home? How will I answer their questions? Main puri raat ghar se bahar thi.

Manik(rolling his eyes): Murthy, yeh first time nahi hai jab tu yahan par rukhi hai. And tu aise panic kar rahi hai as if Ishu maa aur papa are the most orthodox parents and you are scared of them.

Nandu(pouted): Arey, even I get scared.

Manik(sarcastically): Agar tu sach unse darti hai toh ab tak you would have been some excessively good - mannered girl.

Nandu(offeneded): Kya main tujhe sanskari ladki nahi dikhti?

Manik(seriously): Sanskari? Meaning kya hai?

Nandu(coolly): Mujhe kya pata. Tujhe agar main lagti hun toh tujhe meaning pata hona chahiye.

Manik nods his head in disbelief when his mobile buzzes with Raman’s call.

Nandu(scared): Manik, papa ko kya bolenge.

Manik(glared): Shut up, Murthy. Let me ask them to come here. Dono ko saath bata denge?

Nandu nods.

Call

Manik(smiled): Morning, Papa.

Raman(questioned): Morning, Son. I just called to ask you if Nandu’s there?

Manik(informed): Haanji Papa. She is with me. Actually, kal cliff se aane mein late ho gaya toh we sneaked out here.

Raman(happily): It's ok, Manik. I don't need any explanation till she is with you. In fact, I am very happy, things seem sorted between you two.

Manik(looking towards her with a smile): Haan, it’s sorted.

Raman(excited): Acha where’s my birthday girl. Agar woh ghar ayegi toh mujhe wish bhi karna hai.

Manik(hestated): Papa, if you don't mind, aap yahi aa jao na Ishu maa ko lekar. Nandu bhi yehi ready ho jayegi.

Raman(suspiciously): Sab theek hai na.
