ON THE WAY
Manik held Nandini’s hand and drove the car slowly...
Nandini: Manik, what are you doing?
Manik: Isn’t it obvious that I’m driving...
Nandini: Really, Manik, but why are you driving the car at 40 km/h...
Manik: Wo... Actually, I’m trying to follow the road speed limit, you see! (*Manik winks... Wink*)
Nandini: Seriously!!! Manik, the road speed limit is not 40 km/h...
Manik: Yeah, I know, but with this speed, we can spend more time alone, right, before going for lunch...
Nandini: Manik, we’re already late, and your friends must be waiting for us there, right!
Manik: Relax, Nandini, I know my friends. They even reach the exam hall late, so I’m sure they haven’t reached yet...

THE RESTAURANT
Everyone had already arrived and was waiting for Manik and Nandini...
Mukti: Yaar, why are they taking so much time to get here?
Alia: Did you tell him the exact time?
Mukti: Yes, and I even sent the time in our WhatsApp group!
Dhruv: Okay, let me call Buddy and check where he is now...
Navya: If you want, I can call Nandini and ask where they are!
Abhi: Arey, chill, guys, I’m sure they must be on the way, so let’s just wait and see...
Mukti: Yeah, I know, but since I woke up late today, I didn’t even eat my breakfast, Abhi...
Abhi: Didn’t I tell you to at least eat something, but you were stubborn, right...
Mukti: Mujhe kya pata that after arriving at the restaurant, we’d still have to wait because of Manik and Nandini...
Alia: Exactly, the main reason for this gathering is them, but they haven’t arrived yet!
Cabir: Chill, guys, I have a plan to get back at them for making us wait, and I’m sure you’ll all be happy with it too...
Mukti: Really, kya plan hai, Cabir...
Cabir: Wait and watch, Mukti...
After a few minutes, Manik and Nandini entered the restaurant... Cabir noticed they were walking in holding hands... He immediately stood up and went to the center of the restaurant... Manik and Nandini were busy talking, lost in their own world, so they didn’t notice Cabir...
Cabir: Good afternoon, everyone, and I’m sorry to disturb you all, but I just want to announce that my best friend, Manik Malhotra, is finally officially in a relationship with Nandini Murthy, so please give a big round of applause to the new couple in town...
Manik and Nandini were stunned and speechless with Cabir’s sudden announcement, and everyone around them was clapping and looking at them as if they were a celebrity couple... Manik went to Cabir angrily while Nandini tried to hide her face by burying it in Manik’s chest...
Manik: What the hell are you doing, Cabir?
Everyone was still staring at them...
Cabir: That’s all, everyone... You can carry on with your lunch...
By saying this, Cabir ran back to the table... Manik and Nandini also came to their friends’ table...
Manik: Cabir, do you want to tell the entire world that I’m in a relationship?
