MANIK MALHOTRA'S CABIN

Nandini enters Manik's cabin angrily...Manik smiles looking at her angry face! This irritates Nandini even more!

Nandini: Manik, stop smiling!

Manik: I don't understand; first, you complain that I rarely smile, and now, when I am smiling, you ask me to stop!

Nandini: Manik, don't change the topic! Just to make me come here, you threaten Sujatha to dismiss her...like seriously!

Manik: What to do...you didn't leave me any other option, right!

Nandini: What do you mean, no option...I clearly told you, right, that I don't want to come to your cabin!

Manik: Miss Murthy, FYI (for your information), I am your boss, so if I call you to my cabin, then you must be here!

Nandini: Right! I am so sorry, Mr. Malhotra...Now that I am here, so tell me why you called me!

Manik: I will tell you...but first, take your seat!

Nandini: No, I will stand!

Manik: Well, then it's an order for you to sit!

Nandini: Fine! (Nandini sits on the chair angrily)

Manik: Now close your eyes...take a few deep breaths to calm yourself!

Nandini: Seriously!

Manik: Yes! See, I am a fast learner, right! I just learned today, and now I am teaching others too!

Nandini gets angry!

Nandini: Manik, you make me so angry...

Nandini said by making a cute angry face...Manik smiles again seeing Nandini...

Manik: Look at you! I mean, you look so cute even when you get angry.

Nandini: Manik, you are the first person who made me realize that Nandini Murthy can get angry, and too again and again, on the same person!

Manik: Accha, thanks for the compliment, but now do as I say because it's an order too!

Nandini: Aiyappa! Why is he like this, first making me angry and now ordering me to calm down!

Nandini says by looking upwards...

Manik: You can complain about me to your Aiyappa later...Now take a few deep breaths.

Nandini closes her eyes and takes a few deep breaths...

Nandini: Done!

Manik: Okay, now listen to me!

Nandini: Okay!

Manik: Nandini, try to understand my point...this world is full of cruel people, and everyone is not innocent like you, so what if, after coming back here, Tara tries to give you more trouble!

Nandini calms down with Manik's concern for her!

Nandini: But Manik, you know about me, right! I can't even see a street puppy in pain, and that's how I landed myself in the middle of the road that day!

Manik: I know you can't see anyone in pain, but I can't see you in pain, damn it! So I can't take the risk by bringing Tara back!

Nandini: But Manik, she lost her job, that too because of me, and I really feel guilty about it, and I will keep feeling bad until Tara is back on her job.

Manik: See, that's why I called you here! You won't stop until Tara's matter is sorted, right!

Nandini: Yes!
