MaNan FF - Humesha : Book 2 [COMPLETED]

Chapter 8 : Chinese Whisper

Alya, Nandini and Mukti were in a Spa, getting their monthly spa treatments. They were not alone, their partners, Manik, Cabir and Zubin were there too. Obviously, Dhruv wasn't a part of it, because they still hadn't told anybody, so Alya asked Cabir to go with her instead.

"Look at them! Bade manly ban rahe the! Ab khud enjoy kar rahe hai." Mukti commented, looking at Manik and Zubin asking different people about different products. Cabir had fallen asleep during the head massage.

"Manik is very much into self-care. He has more products than I do." Nandini spoke as a matter of fact.

"Dikhta hai. I like one thing about our men. They know how to take care of themselves. Can't handle sewage rats."

Alya and Nandini laughed at Mukti's remark, because it was true. Some people can be really messy when it comes to hygiene and personal care. They were lucky in those matters.

"I needed this session before going to Delhi. These coming months are going to be so stressful." Nandini said, exasperatingly.

"Delhi? Kyun?" Alya asked.

"I have an event to attend. I mean, I have to perform."

"Oh, nice. You know what? I have to go back to Delhi too. Did you book the tickets?"

"I did. Book your's right now. I just booked it yesterday."

"Cool." Alya quickly booked a ticket, after consulting Nandini about her seat.

"Vaise, tu aayi kyun?" Mukti asked.

"Huh?"

"Tu Mumbai kyun aayi? Aur bataya kyun nahi? Pata hai Nandini? Agar main isko call nahi karti na, yeh mujhe bataati hi nahi. Aisa kya secret hai?" Mukti asked. Alya looked at them, alarmed.

"Secret?! What secret? Mukti, I had a meeting so I came. Secret nahi hai kuch." Alya answered nervously, sweating in the fully air-conditioned room.

"Okay jeez, chill. You are getting weirder." Mukti said, frowning.

"Yeah, haha" Alya laughed and licked her dry lips nervously.

After a while, they all exited the spa, to go to dinner.

"That was such a bliss. Main toh ab har week aaunga." Cabir said.

"Zyada ho gaya. Every month is fine." Mukti said, snorting.

"Whatever floats your boat. Main toh aaunga. Life is stressful yaar."

"It is." Alya said, discreetly looking at her belly.

"Guys, let's go to that restaurant. Naya aaya hai, many fans mentioned in the comments too." Mukti said.

"Okay chal."

All of them took a big table to accommodate the six of them.

"I am ordering drinks. What do y'all want?" Zubin asked.

"Whiskey." Manik said, ignoring Nandini's stare.

"Make it two." Cabir added.

"I'll have a margherita." Mukti said.

"I'll have nothing." Alya replied, when Mukti looked at her in surprise.

"Kyun? You never say no."

"Yeah...but this time...I want to give her some company." Alya pointed towards Nandini.

"Oh, thank you! Kuch log toh..." Nandini spoke in a taunting voice and trailed off, all the while looking at Manik. He rolled his eyes.
