Hiii♥️ Aaaaand I'm back with my next chapter! This one's going to be a reflection into the typical day Nandini has with her family, and if Team Space will fit into Oberoi Mansion, especially with Nandini's nanu, 3 brothers, 2 best friends and 1..er..close friend? Let's get to it!
Song of the chapter: Rehna Tu, Delhi-6
----------------------------//----------------------------
After the long, and humor-filled introduction session, Abhi- Rudy and Samrat left the Three Musketeers and Team Space to their own devices.
Even though Rudra was the same age as Nandini, and Samrat was a year older, they were more used to hanging out with Abhi and Shivaay, maybe because Rudra had always seen Nandini as his 'little sister' and not as someone his age, and Samrat, well, he knew Raichand didn't like him being around.
T3M were showing Team Space around the mansion, trying to make them be more familiar with the place, considering they'll be spending much of their time here for a semester now.
Manik kept staring at Nandini all throughout, trying to talk to her, but the words just didn't come out. How could he start a conversation with her?
"Uh hi Nandini sorry I didn't trust you and treated you like shit?"
Yeah, not exactly a good way to break the ice.
He was lost in her thoughts when suddenly he was about to trip on the carpet, only to be held back by Nandini, who looked at him intently.
"Be more cautious, Manik."
She stated, her face expressionless but her eyes giving away everything
Manik's face lit up. Even though she tried to hide it, she did care, as Cabir and Raichand stood amused, while Malik frowned.
Malik wasn't in love with Nandini. No, he wasn't. But he was protective of her. How could he not be, when his childhood best friend had lost so much? Her family, her home? And then she lost her heart too, to the wrong guy. One who didn't deserve it. He couldn't let Nandini fall for him again, it would just cause more pain, more heartbreak for her. He remembered when she came back to London, how different she was, underconfident, silent, not sharing anything.
It was days later that Nandini finally told Malik and Raichand about Manik. She hadn't even told her brothers, knowing how mad they'd get.
Raichand tried to diffuse the tension and changed the topic,
"Arey we're such boring tour guides yaar. Ye SSO ka office dikhakar kya milega inko? Let's show them the real mansion na. Our room, jam room, Nandini's room and obviously, kitchen."
"Aur inka room toh tera baap dikhaayega na?"
Malik replied, teasing, as Raichand showed him his tongue.
They moved along, and stopped in front of a giant room, with a glass door.
"This was originally a spare room, Sammy used to stay here earlier, but now this is more or less Malik and Raichand's room. They stay here a lot, almost every weekend, and their stuff is also here na."
Nandini explained, as everyone moved inside the room to see how it looked.
It had two huge beds, on elevated floors, with book shelves and guitars on the walls against the beds.
The rest of the walls were covered with frames, lots of photos of them with Nandini, with the Oberois, some of them at concerts or musicals, winning awards, framed jerseys of their favorite players, it reflected their personality completely.
