Manan ff : Best Friends Forever

chapter 16

Looking at the shopping mall, Maniks eyes twinkled like stars. While, both Nandini and Cabir were least interested.

Cabir ( queried ) : Yeh chakkar kya hai? ???

Nandini ( irritatedly ) : arrey kuch nehin! !!!.... iss ki Cutie aur meri Neyo maa ne shopping ka bahana baana ke humein ghar se bahar nikal diya! !!!!

Cabir ( empathetic ) : that is so sad yaar! !!!

Giving both of them an unbelievable look, Manik commented " tu usse kya ulti sidhi patti paddha rahi hai? ??? "

Instantly trying to distract Manik, Nandini said " Manu. ...main kya keh rahi thi. ..ki hum log naa ghar chalte hai! !!!...akhir yeh stupid se shopping mein kya rakha hai! !!!! "

But Manik protested " bilkul nehin! !!!!!... pehele hum Cutie ke list ke hisab se shopping karenge! !!!!! "

Nandini ( sarcastically ) : yeah right! !!!!..... shopping toh sirf doo hi cheezo ki karni hai. ..ek toh sherwani aur dusra lehenga! !!!.... isske liye list baana ke paper waste karni ki kya zarurat thi! !!!!

Manik ( sharply ) : tune abhi abhi kuch kaha chudail? ?????

Nandini ( innocently ) : arrey main toh yeh keh rahi thi. ..ki pehele tere liye ek acchi sherwani lete hai! !!!.... ab bakwas ki baatein kar ke time naa waste kar! !!!.... we have loads of shopping to do! !!!

Dragging Manik with her, Nandini entered one of the shop's. While, Manik and Cabir followed her in disbelief.

Heading towards the counter, Nandini asked the lady manager " sunniye behen ji. ..."

But the lady gave her a murderous look and yelled " main. ...aur behen ji? ???? "

Cringing her nose, Nandini said " oh. ..sorry sorry. ..mistake ho gaya! !!!!.... toh sunniye bhai saheb! !!! "

The lady was clean bowled and muttered " bhai saheb? ??????? "

Rolling her eyes, Nandini commented " aap ko dekh ke mujhe sahi mein bahut bura laag raha hai! !!!....arrey. ... aapko toh theek se aap ka gender taak nehin pataa !!!!! "

That was it, the lady was on the verge of fainting, after bearing Nandini's sarcasm.

Stepping in to rescue the victim of Nandini's sarcasm, Manik said " woh humein sherwani leni thi. ...kya aap please humein kuch naya collection dikha sakti hai! !!! "

Asking one of the sales girl's to show around, the manager tried to get rid of Nandini and company, as soon as possible.

The whole while Cabir was laughing his guts out. While, Nandini acted as if nothing happened.

The excessively sweet sales girl was trying to work her charm on Manik, by constantly smiling on each and every question he asked.

Suggesting few sherwanis, the sales girl asked Manik to try them on.

Sitting on the sofa, Nandini was busy in taking out her anger on the chewing gum, as if it was the sale's girl's head. While, Cabir was having his own fun.

Every time Manik came out wearing a sherwani, Nandini royally rejected them, without even taking a glance at him.

Poor Manik, being the innocent soul, he actually thought that maybe the collection of sherwanis were bad. But, Cabir the genius had a clear idea about what was going on.

Again coming out of the trial room wearing a new sherwani, Manik looked at Nandini with hopeful eyes. But as usual Nandini rejected.

Getting irritated by Nandini's tantrums, the sale's girl taunted " this is the best we have ma'am! !!!.... laagta hai aapko acche cheezo ki value hi nehin hai! !!!! "
