Kaisi yeh Yaariyan Season 3

Chapter 91

Lounging on a couch with a drink, Manik was waiting for the door bell to ring. The meeting with chachi in the afternoon had been such a huge relief.

He was glad that life, was slowly crawling back into his grip. It had been a scary roller coaster ride, these past few days, being bombed with one scary revelation after another. There were so many things to deal with, so much had happened behind his back that at one point he almost felt washed away. And these were things, so fundamental that he couldn't have shared with anyone, not even Nandini. Since childhood, he had been a Go-Getter, an achiever, a leader. He liked to lead from the front, to have control over his life and steer it in any direction he wanted to. Which is why, it had been so difficult to suddenly wake up directionless one day and find himself tossed away in unchartered waters at the mercy of his errant fate.

But life had also taught him to be a fighter, to not give in or give up, no matter how adverse the circumstances were.

He knew he would slowly find his footing, despite the shaky ground and make his way back to where he belonged. The process in fact had already began earlier today. Nandini's behaviour towards her family had been bothering him more than he cared to accept and he was beyond glad when the girl had finally returned home with a happy face.

Manik wasn't too worried about Neel Dixit, for he knew exactly how to deal with such scumbugs. Infact, this time he clearly had an advantage over him. While he was well versed with Neel's black mind and was fully aware of the levels, that he could stoop to, but the Manik malhotra, Neel had met and known, had been the most gentlemanly version of him. Neel hadn't yet had the good fortune of meeting his ruthless monstrous side.

The bell rang, breaking his chain of thoughts and in walked Ranbir, without his usual contagious smile.

"Whats up bro?" he said, as he gently slapped on Manik's back and pulled him in a loose hug.

"Going great bro. It' just that ki Mumbai ane ke baad I didn't get a chance to meet everyone. I miss our usual hangouts, wo bhi kya din the yaar.. So I thought, lets just call everyone and relive those times."

Ranbir was visibly tensed. After the last two interactions with Dhruv and Alya, he wasn't quite sure what to expect this time. And the fact that this time the drama would happen right infront of Manik, made him more nervous. "Manik, is it a good idea, for me to be here. I mean basically to I am not a part of FAB 5, wouldn't it look like I am gatecrashing at your party?"

"Kya baat kar raha hai yaar, ab dosti mein bhi boundaries lagayega? Get yourself a drink and be comfortable , aur FAB 5 ko apna hi group samajh." Throwing a can of beer at Ranbir, Manik remarked with a naughty smirk.

It was futile, wanting to go out because Manik would clearly not let him. So he changed the topic hoping desperately that the rest of them would behave, especially the loudmouth Alya. "But manna parega is Neel ko, kameene ne apna koi digital trace hi nahi chora, the only thing you get when you search his name is a fucking Linked In profile aur wo bhi I am sure ki DP photoshop ki hogi saale ne."

"I know man, but agar Neel teda hai to hum saale circle hain. Dekhte hain kitne din who hide n seek khelta hai. I got his address in mangalore and apparently this guy has a brother. uske family, schooling etc ka information to maine nikal liya but we need something substantial."

"Mangalore?! To saala Mangalore ka hai, waise I have a couple of friends from there..tu mujhe raat ko sare details message kar and let me get in touch with my friends to dig out some info. I bet usne mangalore mein bhi muh to kala kiya hi hoga. Waise yes, baaton baaton mein I forgot to mention, main jis firm mein kam karta hun, they run an NGO for spastic kids. They are currently hiring people. Ask Nandini if she wants to try her hand."
