Song of the Chapter: Mere Bina, Crook
-----------------------------//---------------------------
After the cafeteria showdown, T3M went for their football practice, which to Manik's greatest misfortune, he couldn't witness.
This was because the exact time when the practice was scheduled, Team Space received a message to report to the administrator's desk as soon as possible, to solve some complications regarding student visa,as well as a general walkthrough of their semester, and of course, code of conduct.
This little trip to the administrator's office lasted as long as the practice did, and so Manik lost the precious opportunity of watching Nandini kill other guys on the field with her pro soccer skills, all while looking ridiculously hot. Yup, God hated him.
(Haha don't kill me, I just didn't want to showcase Nandini's game and skills before the actual big game against Deewan, neither to y'all, nor to Manik;))
The car ride back home consisted or a sullen faced Manik, with Mukti and Cabir making endless jokes at his disposal, and Dhruv, Alya and Navya trying to hold in their laughter. And failing. Miserably.
While The Musketeers were pleased, they had a great practice, all their players were in good shape, no ego hassles were at bay and everyone seemed motivated to absolutely crush Aryan Deewan. He wasn't a well-liked man after all.
The two cars closed in on home just in time for dinner, entering the hall to see servers hurrying about and maids barking orders.
Nandini stood there, sweating in her jersey, utterly confused.
"Elton? Elton!"
She called out for the faithful head Server of Oberoi Mansion.
"Yes, ma'am? Do you need me to do anything?"
Elton responded almost instantlaneously, making his way to Nandini in a microsecond.
"Bro ye toh Airtel ke network se bhi zyaada fast hai. I hope woh annoying boy-cut hair waali bandi aakar iske saath race lagaane nahi pahuch jaayegi."
Cabir whisper-yelled, a bit creeped out, referencing the Airtel 4G ad in his utterly ridiculous joke.
Mukti and Manik facepalmed while Rehaan snorted, he could really get used to Cabir's constant jokes.
"No, I don't need anything, thank you. Just, uh, what's going on? Why's everyone in a hurry?"
Nandini asked politely in a soft voice, making Manik smile, underneath her tough and fiesty exterior, she was still Nandini Murthy, the soft-spoken South-Indian girl who prayed to her Aiyappa every night.
"Ma'am, you don't know? Mr. Senior Oberoi is coming to the mansion tonight, his flight got delayed so he couldn't come with Mrs. Oberoi this afternoon. "
Elton informed, a warm smile on his face, knowing how much Nandini was fond of the former.
Nandini had the biggest smile on her face, she was so happy! She knew her mamu wouldn't just ditch her like that, he kept his word, always.
Seeing Nandini happy, everyone had a genuine smile on their face too, it was a burden off their shoulders.
"SEE crankypants, I told you Senior Oberoi would make it! Itni rondu hai tu, by god."
