Chapter 4

Hello guys. I've had an accident and had a fractured finger which is still healing. The reason for this late update. I had already posted on my profile to let everyone know. Thanks.

"You!"

"Hey! Missed me?"

Manik winked at Nandini. Nandini gasped.

How dare he!!!

"You two know each other?"

For a moment they had forgotten they had company. Just as Raj interrupted their silent flow of conversation, Nandini folded her hands.

"No. At least I don't!"

Manik raised his brows and then smirked

"But I do. In a very special way actually."

Nandini batted her eyelashes

"Do you, really?"

"Certainly."

Raj's eyes flicked from Manik to Nandini and vice versa. He narrowed his eyes, then sighed

"Well, then. If you two are done talking in your alien language then can we please resume what we left hanging?"

Being convinced that they wouldn't break their eye to eye battle, Raj continued

"We will shoot a few scenes today. So, I would really appreciate it if you two get your makeup done and rehearse the scenes. You have your script in your respective rooms. Let's start. I don't tolerate unprofessional people."

Raj fixed one last look at them and then left the room murmuring something incomprehensible.

Before the door closed, Manik grabbed the knob in one swift move without taking his eyes off Nandini

"See you soon."

He turned on his heel and left the room. Nandini breathed a sigh of relief. She was relieved. For now- Nandini thought.

There was something in the look of his that told her he was not going to leave so soon. He was going to stay in her life. For a pretty good time.

Nandini let her makeup artist do her work while she grabbed the newspaper resting on the coffee table. She loved reading newspapers. It kept her updated with the everyday happenings around the world. But she was dreading the idea of going through a newspaper at the time. Because she knew that there will obviously be news about her separation with Abhay. And they would spice it up more if it wasn't spicy enough already.

She witnessed her fear coming true when she flipped through the pages and finally found her own name. It was the same article which she had seen earlier that morning but didn't dare to read any further other than the headline.

Now that she thought about it, she convinced herself that it was the truth of her life and she had to face it. So she continued

"Famous superstar Nandini Murthy has filed for divorce from her husband Abhay Khurana. Rumors are that the actress caught her husband cheating on her with her own BFF Urvashi Sinha...."

Nandini squeezed her eyes shut. Enough was enough. She dialed the number of her lawyer

"Sneha, what the hell is going on?"
