Manan ff : The Manager

chapter 17

9 : 00 pm.

Grinning like a fool, Manik pressed the door bell, waiting impatiently to cross the last hurdle between him and his love.

Maniks flash back. ...

Few hours ago.

Nyonika was busy in the kitchen, when Manik approached her, looking like a lost puppy.

Nyonika ( concerned ) : tujhe kya hua? ??????

Manik ( innocently ) : woh mom. ....I need a favour ......please manna maat karna. ....

Nyonika ( sternly ) : tune phir se Nandini ke saath jhagra kiya? ??????

Manik ( irritated ) : mom yaar. ....aap logo ko hamesha aisa kyon laagta hai ki main Nandini se jhagra karta hu? ?????

Nyonika ( confidently ): laagta nehin hai. .....balki hum 100 % sure hote hai ki tune hi kuch kiya hoga! !!!!!!

Manik ( annoyed ) : mom yaar. .....this is not fair. .....

Nyonika ( calmly ) : everything is fair in love and war. .....toh ab yeh baata ki tujhe kya favour chahiye? ?????

Manik ( hesitantly ) : woh. .....mujhe aaj Nandini ke saath time spend karna hai. .....

Nyonika ( excitedly ) : haan toh jaa naa. ...tujhe yaha kaun rok raha hai????????

Manik ( frustrated ) : mom yaar. ....aap samajhte nehin ho. .....Nandini nehin maanegi aur mujhe rest karne ke liye bolegi! !!!!....waise bhi ussne mujhe aaj Live Concert ke baad dhamki diya tha. ...ki main raat ko jaldi jaldi soo jau! !!!!!

On listening to this, Nyonika was smiling "sahi mein Manik. ....tujhe kismaat se Nandini jaisi koi ladki mil gayi. ....kitna pyaar karti hai woh tujh se! !!!!"

On hearing the word "pyaar ",Manik started blushing.

Indeed ,he was lucky to have Nandini in his life.

Manik ( shyly ): mom. ....please aap meri help kar doo naa. ...

Nyonika ( thoughtful ): laagta hai. ....ab tum dono ki love story ko set karne ke liye mujhe hi kuch karna parega! !!!!!!!

Taking out her mobile, Nyonika dialled Nandini's number and started talking to her.

Nyonika : hello. .... Nandini beta. ....main Nyonika bol rahi hu. ....

Nandini ( happily ) : haan maa. .....aapne itni raat gaye phone kiya? ??????......sab theek hai naa? ??????

Nyonika ( lying deliberately ): nehin beta. .....kuch bhi sahi nehin hai. ....

Nandini ( concerned ) : kya hua maa? ?????

Nyonika ( lying ): woh. .....aaj raat main aur Raj aapne ek friend ke ghar jaane wale hai. ....aur Manik ghar par akela rahega. ...

Nandini ( confused ) : toh? ?????

Nyonika ( chuckled ) : toh kya beta! !!!!!.....tum toh Manik ko jaanti ho naa. ....usse akela ghar pein chhodne se mujhe shanti nehin milegi ......woh itna chhota sa hai. ....kahi kuch ulta sidha naa kar baithe. ......

Saying this, Nyonika tried hard to control her smile. While, Manik gave her a what -the - heck -was -that look.

Nandini ( still not getting anything ): woh toh hai. .....ab aap kya karengi maa? ?????

Nyonika ( immediately ): karna kya hai! !!!!......main socch rahi thi ki usse tumhare ghar bhej du! !!!!!!

Nandini ( stammering ) : mere. ....mere ghar? ???????????????

Nyonika ( emotional blackmail ): kyon beta??????.....koi taklif hai kya? ?????......tumhare paas agar Manik rahega toh mujhe chinta nehin hogi. .....

Nandini ( sighed helplessly ) : theek hai maa. ....aaj raat ke liye Sir yaha ruk sakte hai. ....

Nyonika ( excitedly ) : thank you beta. ....thank you so much. ....

Saying this, Nyonika hung up and gave a mischievous look to Manik.

Manik ( blankly ) : main aap ko chhota sa dikhta hu mom? ????????

Nyonika ( chuckled ) : ek toh main teri help kar rahi hu. .....aur tu hai ki mujhe hi sunna raha hai. .....

Manik ( childishly ) : meri hi girlfriend ke saamne. .....meri hi dhaajiya uda ke. ....aap kaun si help kar rahi ho! !!!!!!!

Nyonika ( chuckled ) : bhalayi ka toh zamana hi nehin raha. ....ab daafa ho yaha se. ....

Manik ( childishly ) : haan haan. .....jaa raha hu aapni Nandu ke paas. ......

Saying this, Manik left. While, Nyonika burst out laughing on her son's tantrums.

Flash Back end's. ......

Finally, after ages, Nandini opened the door.

As soon as Manik and Nandini's eyes meet, the whole world stood still. Both of them were lost in each others eyes.

But, their cute little eyelock got disturbed. .....
