10th December 2017.

"No way Amms.."Nandini replied sternly. "...there is no way I am going to do this.."she looked at Manik who was standing right next to her and said "..singing a duet..that too with him..no chance.."

"Excuse Me.."Manik glared back at Nandini "..even I am not dying to sing with you.."turning around to look back at Kishori Manik said "..I don't want to pair up with her..please find me another replacement.."

"Replacement.."Nandini shouted at him. "..how dare you say something like that..you think ki Mai mari jaa rahi hu tumhare sath gane ke liye..oh please.."

"So you think Mai mar raha hu to sing with you.."Manik snapped back. "I rather shoot myself before agreeing to sing with you.."

"You.."Nandini was about to say something when it got too much for Kishori too handle. "SHUT UP BOTH OF YOU.."

Her words were more than enough to silence both of them as they both could feel the rage radiating off her. "I had enough of both of you.."she scowled at both of them. "Now both of you shut up and listen to me.."

"Manik.."she turned to look at him and said "I don't know what kind of environment are you habitual to live in..but I know one thing..that you have a habit of living around people who simply give in to your wish.."

"..I can clearly see you are on habit of being surrounded by YES MAN...who simply agree to whatever you say and simply give you everything that you want..maybe that's why you don't really know the meaning of earning something on your own merit."

"But as they say the only thing that's constant in life is change..nothing else is permanent..so how can this habit of yours be..so it's high time for you to learn a new lesson.."

"..let's begins it from today only."

Manik was about to argue but before he can open his mouth Kishori stopped him. "I am not done Manik..let me finish.."

And without giving him an opportunity to speak she continued "..this is GURUKUL Manik..not your SPACE ACADEMY.."

"Here either you follow the rules and principles of this place or you pack your bags and leave this place forever.."

"It's as SIMPLE as that.."

Kishori's words made Manik scowl in anger while made Nandini 's grin wider..

..but of course her happiness was short lived too as Kishori turned her focus on Nandini "..and what are you smiling at..Miss Nandini.."

Nandini 's facial expression changed in a moment and she looked down after shaking her head in negative. "Nothing Amms.."

"It doesn't seems like Nothing.."Kishori folded her arms across her chest and continued "..do I need to remind you that even you are a student here..not any celebrity who own this place and who can do whatever they feel like.."

Nandini didn't say anything as she continued to look down but of course that doesn't mean she couldn't feel Kishori's intense gaze at her..

..because she clearly was.

"Nandini..you are here for this workshop too which automatically makes me your GURUMA..than why are you calling me AMMS...here.."

"I don't think I need to remind you again and again that this isn't our house where I am your Amms and you are my granddaughter..but this is a place where the only relationship share is of STUDENT AND TEACHER.."

"Here I am your Guruma and you are my student..don't you know that.."

Since Nandini couldn't find anything to say she simply nodded her head.

"Then..why this kind of behaviour.."

"If I say that you have to perform with someone than you simply had to follow through my instructions.."

"..then why were you are arguing.."

"Do you want me to make you leave this WORKSHOP.."

"Do you want me to send you back..."

Her words shocked Manik because he knew Kishori meant every word that she spoke.
He could see in her eyes that she was actually considering to send Nandini away..

...Nandini...

...who happened to be her own granddaughter.

Manik was impressed..

...but...

...he was scared too.

As if Kishori could do something so serious with her own granddaughter how long will it take her to take action against him.

"Bolo Nandini..do you want me to disqualify you.."Kishori said in a serious tone.

"No Amms.."Nandini closed her eyes and corrected herself "..I mean Guruma.."

"I am sorry.."

"I am really sorry.."

"I promise aisi galti dubara nahi hogi.."

"Aagey se you won't get any complaint from my side.."

"I promise Guruma.." Nandini requested.

Kishori turned her attention to Manik and asked "What about you Manik.."

"I am sorry too.."he looked at Kishori "..I won't repeat this mistake again."

"Well in that case.."Kishori said looking at both of them. "..I forgive both of you this time..but.."she pointed her fingers at both of them. "This shouldn't be repeated or else you both will be disqualify to attend this workshop..I hope I am making myself clear.."

"Yes Guruma.."both Manik and Nandini said unanimously.

"Good.."Kishori nodded her head and said "..so now go and complete the assignment that has been given to you both.."

"You both need to work on a duet and you have exactly 48 hours to complete this assignment. You both need to give your best and support each other completely by coordinating with each other..only then you both will be able to finish it.."Kishori pointed out. "Now go..and all the best.."

"Thank you Guruma.."saying this both Manik and Nandini left the room not before glaring at each other for a while which of course didn't went unnoticed by Kishori.

As soon as soon they walked out Kishori smiled and shook her head in amusement. "Aiyappa..Kya hoga inn dono ka..they both were fighting like cats and dogs...only you know how they both will survive through the next seven weeks..however I could feel only one thing.."

"..I don't know why I am feeling like this.."

"...I might be wrong.."

"..but.."

"..somehow I could feel that this workshop is going to change both their lives..."

"...forever.."
