Nav: Hume yakeen nhi hota Nandini that you finally are dating that dream boy of yours and tumne Hume bataya nhi!!
Nan: Navya kitni baar bolu we are not dating!
Nav: Oh Come on!

She said giving me more of my favourite sambar and taking two idlis herself as we sit in our living room where I just told her about me and Manik.

Nan: Achaa mujhe yeh batao where is Cabir?
Nav: Aree leave him! Use uske naye boss ne koi extra kaam dediya so he couldn't come.
Nan: Oh
Nav: Tum hume yeh batao yeh friends friends kya laga rakha hai tum dono ne? You both clearly like each other!
Nan: Navya please*blushes* can we stop talking about Manik?
Nav: Nandini!!! You are blushing!
Nan: *looks away* Offo Navya please
Nav: Aree Parr yeh toh batao ki-

*Ting tong*

Nav: *looked at the door* Cabir aya hoga
Nan: *to herself* ekdum correct time pe aya.
Nav: Kya?
Nan: Kuch nhi, darwaza toh kholo
Nav: Haan

Navya gets up from the sofa and keeping her plate away opens the door. She looks at Cabir with a big smile but Cabir is too busy on a phone call.

He enters inside without looking at her face and Navya finds that odd, but shrugging her shoulders she closed the door and joined them.

Cab: Yess Riya. Yeah, I want all the requirements completed for Richards. No, this week itself! We have been delaying it for a long time.

Oh My God, Is this Cabir Dhawan? A fine suit with a nice tie and that work bag? He looks so sincere.

Please don't blame me, if you would've seen the earlier Cabir, you would've been shocked too. He looks so serious and sincere.

Haayee Bacha bada hogaya!

Cab: Okay I'll take a look at it tomorrow.. Sir is not free tomorrow. I'll get it checked by Friday toh tum Saturday ko process kar dena. Yes, ok bye.

He keeps his phone in his pocket and finally slumping down on the sofa takes a breath of relief.

Nan: Ohoho Mr. Cabir Dhawan!
Cab: *looks at her* Oh Hey Hi!! Tum aagai

He gets up and hugs her.

Nan: Yes Aapke pass time ho tabhi toh dekhoge na
Cab: What Nandini. Woh actually Aaj Sir had to rush somewhere toh pura pending kaam I had to complete. Isiliye late hogaya.
Nan: Ohh Yeah!! Congratulations!
Cab: *smiles* Thankyou
Nav: Cabir, tum khaoge?
Cab: Tum puch bhi kyu rhi ho Navya?
Nav: Haan right. Once a bhukkad always a Bhukkad! *She goes in to get a plate*
Cab: Hey! Show some respect
Nav: *comes out* Kaiki respect?
Nan: *laughs* Achaa so tell me about your job na.
Cab: Kya bolu.. it's going really well. Matlab, I feel so good working back.
Nav: *smiles*
Nan: And how's your boss?

Cabir and Navya look at each other

Cab: Matlab?
Nan: Matlab, people in the building say ki NIRVANA'S boss is kinda Khadoos.
Cab: Haan Matlab, Sir is strict when it comes to work. And he needs to be you know, that is the reason in these 2 years NIRVANA has grown some 60% more than it was initially.
Nan: *makes an impressive look*
Cab: And haan people in office also sometimes say that he is rude but, I don't think he is. Matlab, abhi tak toh mere saath he's been normal.
Nav: Khana bhi khao!
Cab: Kha rha hu khaa rha hu!
Nan: *laughs* I missed you guys.
Nav: Kya Nandu, 3 din keliye toh gyi thi.
Cab: Hey, kal film dekhne chale?
Nan: Nhi I can't come
Nav: Kyu? Tumhe toh yeh week chutti hai na
Nan: Haan Parr *blushed*
Cab: Parr kya?
Nan: I have a date
