Cab driver: Nandini...

Nav: Nandini, such a nice name. Seems like I found my first friend in Mumbai finally.

Nan: You didn't tell me where you need to go?

Nav: Ohhhh, look at me, such a forgetful person. This is the address where I need to go (handing her the chit)

Actually after lot of pleadings and promises, my parents allowed me to come here. I am for the first time living outside the city. Though my aunt was supposed to come and receive me, but she forgot, such a forgetful person. That is why, my father gave me her address.....

She keeps on ranting until she reaches her destination.

Nan: Here ma'am, we have reached.

Nav: Huh, So early? And what is this ma'am, you are my friend, call me by my name.

Nan: Sorry ma'am, I am on my duty.

Nav: Ok fine, I'll leave. Thanks once again.

Nan: One min ma'am, here (handing a business card) this is the card of our centre, if you ever need a cab at this time in the future, let us know, we have lady drivers.

Nav: Wow, this is a good initiative. Now I'll call you only everyday. Thank you Nandini. Bye.

In Malhotra Mansion, in a dark secret room, Manik was punching the punching bag with all his force. He was venting out all his pain, guilt, frustration, anger on the punching bag. But today was something different, today with every punch he was recalling Nandini's tearful eyes. With every punch he was seeing those unshed tears, with every punch he was feeling an unrecognized pain in his heart.

Man (out of frustration): Ahhhhhhhh..... What the hell are you doing with me Nandini? Why am I not able to forget those eyes? Why can't I just wipe your face off from my memory? Why on seeing pain in your eyes, I am feeling restless? Why? Why? Why? (punches hard on wall) You are the only one who has managed to dig out my emotions which I had kept hidden in me for 3 years, why can't I control myself whenever you are around? Why do I lose my control? Why did you have to come in my life and mess up everything again? Why Nandini Why????

Breathing deeply he continues...

Enough. I have to make her lose this job. I don't care what I will have to do but I will do it by hook or by crook.

Just wait and watch Nandini Murthy, the fun begins from tomorrow.
