"Aur teko pata hai.... Nyeonika ma'am itni smart hai n ki kya bataoon. Yaar unki jaisi personality mene kabhi nahi dekhi. Itne pyaar se baat karti hai. Itni sweet hai. Aur bohot understanding hai. Yaar Nandu... tu n ek baar milna unse. Tujhe to voh itni pasand aayegi n."

"Manik, pichle 2 ghante se, mein yahi sunn rahi hu. Nyeonika ma'am aisi hai. Vaisi hai. Sweet hai. Understanding hai. Kitna impress karke rakha hai unhone tujhe. Bhagwaan n uss aurat ka bhala karega jisne tujhse itne pyaare bol bulwa liye." Nandini calmed Manik down once again.

"Bass kya Nandu... tujhe toh yeh sab sirf 2 ghante se sunna pad raha hai. Hum sab iski baatein tab se jhail rahe hai jabse janaab unke office se nikle hai. Pagalkar diya hai isne hum sabko." Cabeer said in a pained tone that caused th others to laugh.

"Tum log nahi samjhoge. Aisi personality waale log bohot kam milte hai Cabeer. Aur tune unka office dekha tha. Mujhe Navya ne bataya ki unhone apna poora office khud design kiya hai. Soch n Cabeer, ek din apna bhi aisa hi office hoga. Alag alag Cabins honge. Or hum sabke cabins me ek ek TV hoga. Music system hoga. Nandu tere paas bhi ek cabin hoga. Apne office me ek canteen hoga. Jisme sab kuch milega. Ek day care center bhi hoga neeche. Jin maa ke bachhe chote honge n voh vaha rahenge. Jab tak unki maa kaam khatam nahi kar deti. Aur aur ek jam room bhi hoga. Ek recording studio bhi banwaaenge. Harr saturday, hum sab office ke neeche waala hall me milenge aur party hogi. Bass ek baar hum famous ho jaaenge n Nandu toh sab sahi ho jaaega."
Manik smiled as he panted after finishing his sweet talk. Nandini kept a hand on his shoulder and he turned to face her.

"Sab waisa hi hoga jaisa tune bola hai. Tere sapna hai n Manik, bohot bada hai. Aur teri lagan usse bhi badi. Tere sapne poore hone se koi maayi ka laal rok ke dikha de toh maanu.
Ab jaake so jaa. Aur humme bhi sone de bohot neend aa rahi hai." Nandini said and pleaded with him to let them all go to sleep.

"Kaha se so jaaoon." All face palmed themselves. Another session of praises were comming from Manik.
But it didnt, Manik laughed at all of them. They looked at him with a deadly stare and he innicently replied.
"Tum jaha bettho ho waha mera bed lagana hai. Tum hatoge nahi toh main bed kesse lagaoonga."
All took a sigh of relief and hurriedly left the terrace and into their respective rooms.

"Kutte saale sab ke sab. Mein akele bed lagaoon. Help bhi nahi karwaayi. Aur bed lagane se pehle yeh sab kachra saaf karu. Chal beta Manik..... jhaadu lagao."

He shook his at their family's stupid  antics and turned to see Nandini with 2 brooms and an empty bucket and Dhruv there with his bed, pillow and blanket. He smiled and all joined in the work. Manik and Nandini cleaned the surface and collected everything in the bucket and Dhruv neatly made Manik's bed.

"Manik, tujhe neend aa rahi hai??" Nandini asked Manik after Dhruv left to sleep.

"Koi baat hai Nandu..." Manik asked her. He sat on the small bed and patted her side.
"Idhar aa. Beth aur bata."

"Nahi agar tujhe neend aa rahi hai... toh fir kabhi.... yu bhi, kal jaldi utthna hai n.."

"Nandu...." Manik warned her and continued. "Kya hua??"

"Mujhe gaana sun'na. Bohot dino se nahi suna n. Tu gaana sunata hai n toh bohot achhi neend aati hai. Par tu tension mat le.... fir kabhi sun lungi. Abhi tu so jaa. Kal jaldi utthke kaam bhi karna hai." As soon as she tries to get up, Manik had held her hand to stop him.

"Betth. Bata konsa gaana sunegi??" He requested her to tell him.

"Manik, koi baat..." Nandini half heartedly denied. Though she knew it was worthless and she felt guilty for depriving Manik from his sleep. He works day and night and as if that was not enough he has to get up early to work on compositions.

"Nandu.... bata. Konsa. Gaana. Sunegi." He forcefully asked. Nandini's wishes comes above all. When will this girl understand this??

"Jo teri marzi ho." She shyly replied. She knew which song she wants to litsen. Unfortunately, Manik doesnt like it.

"Hmmm.... tujhe yaad hai... bohot pehle Lucky Ali ka ek album aaya tha 'Sunoh' aur hum sabko uske gaane bilkul pasanad nahi aaye the.." she gets excieted.

"Tumhaara taste bilkul achha nahi hai. 'Oh sanam' achha tha." She replies. She remembers she used to sing along that song day and night.

"Toh vahi suna deta hu." She couldnt believe it. Manik would sing 'oh sanam' for her.

"Sachhi. Tu oh sanama gaayega?? Mere liye??"

"Haa baba. Sirf tere liye. Ruk guitar laane de." She waited patiently for him. Excietedly and her eyes twinkling.

He brought his guitar from his room and then he stood beside the wall balancing himself from the wall.

Manik
Shaam Sawere teri yaadein aati hain
Aake dil ko mere yu tadpati hain
O Sanam Mohabbat ki kasam,

Milke bichad na to dastoor ho gaya
Yadoon mein teri majboor hogaya
O Sanam teri yadoon ki kasam

Samjhe zamaana ke dil he khilona
Jaana hai ab kya hai dil ka lagana
Nazroon se ab na humko girana
Mar bhi gaye toh bhul na jaana.

Ankhon mein bassee ho
Par door ho kaheen
Dil ke kareeb ho
Yeh mujhko hai yakeen
O Sanam tere pyar ki kasam.

"Oh sanam tere pyar ki kasam" Nandini sang the last few lines along with him.

"Kesa laga?" Manik asked.

"Lucky Ali jitna toh nahi. Par achha tha. Thankyou manik." She huggrd him tightly and he did too. Then after bidding bye. They went to their rooms.

Next Morning, they all got up really early. And busied themselves in preparing for the composition for the song Miss Nyeonika asked them. After that they still have to get to SPACE Academy to sign a last formaluty. The contract and then Navya sheduled them at a digital advertiser which was going to tell them about the use of their social media accounts and you tube channels for the promotions of their album launch.
