Recap:

Sometimes the purpose behind our actions drains our energy along with our soul , it consumes us within. both the girls knew nothing about their fate, just going with the flow , going along their plan. this interview is the first step but the only step that could make or break things.

Near a roadside tea stall

" Navya! Only three houses are left and we desperately need to select one and move in by the end of this week or else nothing will go according to plan." Nandini said. Stress lines were visible on their heads and the desperation was clearly visible. Getting a house was seeming to be a difficult task, people were sceptical of renting their houses to two young women, while some houses were too expensive or too bad to live in.

" When matarani  and I are there with you, then who will say no to a 'Hitler' like you." Navya winked and chuckled.

"I am serious Navya ! and by the way you are no less, you are such a witch. Com'on , we have already wasted a lot of time." Throwing her Styrofoam tea cup in the nearby bin , Nandini hurriedly got up and made a beeline to the next house with Navya in tow.

They both reviewed the other flats and apartment, and after the whole tiring as hell of a mission they finally finalised a beautiful house for themselves.

It was a mid century, modern cum vintage house with three bedroom , a small storage cum study area adjacent to a beautiful small kitchen. They were lucky enough to have a small backyard and a garage for their car.

"The house is fantastic! Now all we have to do is get are stuff and move in."

" Navya don't you think, its a little too big for us and the rent is a little too much."

"Nandini, we have been saving for a house for four years and we have enough to afford this house and still have money left to keep us alive for a few months."

"Okay, fine let me call Alya and tell that the first step is accomplished 'MISSION HOUSE AND INTERVIEW'."

While Nandini was busy talking to Alya, Navya finalised the rent and signed the papers.

"Alya , you can't backout at the last moment... listen to me.. ughh."Nandini sighed in frustration and threw her phone on the couch.

"Alya is panicking and thinks that it is a bad idea."

"what did she say?"

Alya: Nandini I don't think we should do this and  I don't even love him anymore ,so why all this  drama . What  if it turns  out to be dangerous ?

Nandini: Alya have  some faith in me and I'll not let your name come in between and I'll handle everything, you just need to support me and I don't want any further arguments

Alya: but Nandu...


After the argument and Alya submitting to Nandini's stubbornness, Navya and Nandini went back to Murthy Mansion to pack their stuff and celebrate their new independence.

*********

It was quite good and bright morning, all of the Murthy family was present on the dinning table, savouring the deliciousness of sambhar and dosa

"Amma, we finally bought, no actually rented, ourselves a house. We will move out soon." Nandini told her mother while slowly chewing her food.

" Who gave you the idea, that you can live alone, young lady."

"But dad i want to live an independent life."

" Six years in London were enough, yes Navya?"

"Uncle, but I cant stay here forever."

"You are family Navya." Amms, Nandini's grandmother added with love.

"Dad we are moving out and that's final, we have already paid the first installment. Even bhai lives in his own penthouse."

"Nandini, he is 28."

"And I am 24, dad. And you cant really change my mind." Nandini looked her father in the eye and proudly stood in front of him.

" Okay, atleast we can come and have a look, if the place is safe for my two young daughters."

"Of course, Uncle."

"Now, this old man deserves a hug , a big one."

 Both the girls giggled and pounced on the 50 years old man, the head of the house, Nandini's dad, Yash Murthy.

" A game plan is never foolproof but it can definitely be damage-proof  if the people you love, support you."
