With nervousness clearly written on her face, Nandini looked at the huge mansion, trying to make up her mind.
Nandini ( pov ) ( concerned ) : come on Nandini. ...aur koi option nehin hai itne kam time mein college ki fee's arrange karne ka! !!!.....you have to do this! !!!!....
Taking a deep breath, Nandini entered the mansion, with her fingers crossed.
Standing at a corner with Fab4, Manik keept on cursing every god damn thing. While, Fab4 helplessly stared at him.
Manik ( pissed ) : yaha pein itna loud music kyon hai? ????....idiot DJ! !!!!.....bakwas gaane sunna ke kaan kharab kar raha hai! !!!....aur upar se yeh stupid lighting. ...matlab. ...diwali mein bhi koi itne saare lights nehin laagta! !!!!...
Calmly Cabir asked " teri aaj Nandini se baat nehin hui hai kya? ????"
That was it, another round of complaining session started " woh mera phone kyon uthaigi! !!!!!.....har waqt madam busy joh rehti hai! !!!...ek baar phone utha legi toh usska ego joh hurt ho jaega! !!!....kabhie kabhie main toh socchta hu ke usske phone ka kriya karam hi kar doo! !!!!....useless phone kahi ka! !!! "
Cabir ( pov ) : Bechara phone. ...ek baar Manik ke haath laag gaya. ...toh woh usse zinda nehin chhodega! !!!!!
Again Manik tried to call Nandini, but as usual, her phone was unreachable.
Maniks ' Nandini - ke - phone - ki - aisi - ki - taisi ' session was interrupted, when Soha, the hostesses of the party, approached Fab5.
Soha ( fake smile ) : hello guys. ...its great to see you people over here. ...
Fab4 ( least interested ) : hey Soha. ...
Raising his head, Manik muttered under his breath " aa gayi karam jaali mujhe pareshaan karne! !!!! "
Soha ( confused ) : did you say something Manik? ???
Giving a pathetic smile, Manik said " arrey nehin Soha. ...main toh bass aapne aap se baatein kar raha tha. ...."
Passing a weird look to Manik, Soha turned to one of the butler's and orderd " yeh log aaj ke party ke special guests hai. ....toh innhe serve karne ke liye kisi special insaan ko bulao! !!!!! "
Within a blink of an eye, Manik heard a sweet and familiar voice greeting him " how can I help you Sir? ???? "
Stuffing the mobile in his pocket, Manik looked at the owner of the voice, only to get angry like a bull.
Standing in front of him, Nandini was wearing a quite revealing waitresses dress with a notepad in her hands.
Nandini stared at Manik and Fab4, as if she has never seen them. Smirking at the situation, Soha fully enjoyed Maniks accelerating anger.
Brushing off his gentleness, Manik grabbed Nandini's hand in a firm grip and dragged her out of the party. While , Fab4 just prayed to god for the well being of this stupid couple.
Dragging Nandini to one of the empty corners , Manik backed her up against the wall, pressing his body fully on her.
Angrily Manik spat " WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU WEARING? ?????? "
Finding no point in fighting with Manik, Nandini calmly said " look. .... I am working over here as a part time waitress. ...and this dress is a part of my job! !!!...so just back off! !!!!! "
Manik ( pissed ) : are you out of your mind? ????....aisi bhi kya zarur aa gayi ki tumhe waitress ki naukri karni padd rahi hai? ????. ...
Nandini tried to free her hands, which were in Maniks death grip, making him more angry.
Manik ferociously barked " I am asking you something Nandini Manik Malhotra. ....so just fucking answer me ! !!!! "
This infuriated Nandini and she retorted back " I am not answerable to you. ...so just watch your tone while speaking to me. ..."
Coming closer to Nandini's face, Manik frustratedly commanded " yes Nandini Manik Malhotra. ...you are answerable to me. .... and you will always be answerable to me. ...."
Trying to get out of Maniks grip, Nandini annoyedly started blabbering " who the heck are you ? ????... problem kya hai tumhari? ????....meri life hai. ..main joh chahein woh karu. ...tum hote kaun ho mujhe rokne wale? ????? "
Nandini's questions just shook the foundation of Maniks heart.
Maniks grip on Nandini loosened automatically and he moved away from Nandini. While Nandini vigorously rubbed her wrists ,which were red due to Maniks touch.Without even sparing a look at Manik, Nandini left from there.
Manik ( pov ) ( hurt ) : sahi toh kehti hai Nandini. ...akhir main usska kya laagta hu? ????....usse kis haq se main roku? ????
Coming back to the party, Nandini started attending the guests. While, Fab4 just tried to figure out the reason behind Nandini's this step.
Standing at the bar counter, Manik gulped a glass of whiskey down his throat and gapped at Nandini.
Though Manik was mad at Nandini, for questioning their relationship. But at the same time, his concern for Nandini can't be masked.
Interacting with the guests cheerfully, Nandini tried to ignore the sharp gaze on her.
Unable to bear Maniks piercing gaze on her, Nandini looked at the bar counter for a brief second, only to find it empty.
Taking a breath of sigh, Nandini thought " laagta hai Manik finally yaha se chala gaya! !!!!....thanks ayyappa. ...aaj aapne baccha liya. ...warna mujhe uss weirdo se jhuth bolna paddta. ....joh ki main nehin karna chahti thi. ..."
Nandini's praying session got disturbed, when she heard the crowd around her violently gasped .
Looking at the entrance of the kitchen carefully, Nandini found The Manik Malhotra, sporting his all time smirk, wearing the costume of a butter.
Nandini ( shocked ) : WHAT THE F! !!!!!!
