MANAN- Strings of love

7. Terrifying Cousin

Surprise!

 As it is independence day I am writing an extra chapter. Enjoy!!

 "I apologize for my PA's behaviour Mrs. Kapoor." Mr. Malhotra said, but the glares that I was receiving, was like volcano from mountains. Mrs. Kapoor turned her attention to Mr. Malhotra and smiled. I repeat, she 'smiled' which was filled with some strategy. "I heard your bride left you in the altar. I am sorry for that." she said with her fake sadness and Mr. Malhotra took a deep breath. "You should move on from this situation Mr. Malhotra, I can set a date with my daughter. She is not like your ex-bride. She is brought up by me, so she will love you and she will not all run away from her wedding like your bitch like bride." I wanted to punch the woman, but I resisted.

 "How dare you call her that?!! She may have some problems, why are you calling her such names?!! Before being my fiancé, Aliya is my best friend, dare you say a thing about her, I will make your business turns into history. The deal is cancelled and I don't want a deal with such cunning woman." Mr. Malhotra got up from the seat and gestured me to follow. 

 I opened the door to follow him, but I remembered some thing. I snatched the snacks and flowers from the worker of Mrs. Kapoor who was holding it. "You don't deserve these. " I said and caught up with Mr. Malhotra who was walking with full rage. I can imagine the smoke coming from his ears and nose. We both sat inside the car and he started driving. My hunger was on the peak so I opened the snacks and it contained yummy yummy things. 

 I took the masala cookie and ate it, but the raging bull was still not calming down. I offered him one of the cookie and I brought till his mouth, but he shook hid head denying it. Then the thunderous roar of growl was heard. No, not from me, but the raging bull. I couldn't control but laugh at him, I pushed the cookie to his moth which he ate it. We both sat in silence then Mr. Malhotra broke it. "You taunted Mrs. Kapoor, I will leave this issue, but don't repeat this next time." 

 "Mr. Malhotra, I would have behaved civil, if that woman was not mean to me. Agree it Mr. Malhotra, even you enjoyed it". I said and ate another cookie. "Please don't tell Aliya about her father having another family." he said in a serious tone which I nodded  as my mouth was filled with cookies. "As today is your first day and my mood is totally ruined, I will accompany you to your house." he said. What about Mr. Saxena? "Mr. Saxena sees my schedule and then follow me as the meeting was till 6 in the evening. I think I can meet Aliya." he said and I nodded.

 "Oh fish! I forgot about Shikha! Her school will end in..." I saw the time and I have to definitely receive a long lecture "10 minutes!!" I yelled and wanted to run now. "Calm down, where is her school?" Mr. Malhotra asked and I opened my google maps and found it 20 minutes from our location. I gave him the direction and we reached there in 15 minutes. I saw my dear niece tapping her feet and the had crossed arms against her chest. "I waited for 5 minutes" she said narrowing her eyes. 

 Is she prime minister of India that she can't wait for 5 minutes? "Get inside the car." I took her bag and her eyes brightened seeing the BMW car. "Awesome!" She sat inside the back seat and I took the front seat. "Who are all there in our house?" Shikha asked sitting in her seat admiring the car. "Mr. Vedant, Aliya." I said but she will be not satisfied with one question and she asked about 20 questions till we reached the destination. Thank god no more questions.

  I rang the bell and Aliya opened the door. As soon as she saw Manik, she hugged him and by seeing Shikha she lifted her and went inside. She didn't even greet me! I pouted and went inside. Shikha was being introduced to Mr. Vedant who was very happy meeting her. I was happy that Shikha is gelling with others. Till 3 days back she was close to Navya and me, but now she has some guests. The bell rang again and I saw the horror standing in front of our door by see through hole.

 "Everyone hide anywhere, an uninvited guest is here and if she comes to know then hell will break loose." I whisper yelled and Shikha locked everyone inside Aliya's room. I opened the door and was greeted my cousin, aka devil, Hansi. "Hi, Hansi." I said with a sweet smile. "What took you so long? Don't tell me you have got a secret boyfriend and you were kissing him! or were you having sex with him?" my 18 year old cousin asked me. "Will you stop your wild imagination?" I yelled but something caught her attention.

 "Whose coat is this?" she entered and inspected it. Shit sherlocks! It's Manik's coat. "This means you have a boyfriend. Hey my future brother-in-law!, you don't have to hide. I am your future sister-in-law. I will help you to woo her!!" No, this is terrifying as well as embarrassing. She is checking each and every room while Shikha is trying to stop her. I came into my senses and was going to stop, but it was too late. The locked room was opened by Aliya who came along with Mr. Vedant and Mr. Malhotra.

 Hansi closed the ears of Shikha with her palms "Were you fucking all three of them?" Such a terrifying, frightening imagination. "No!!!" we all yelled except Shikha and Hansi. "I apologize for my cousin's behaviour." I looked at three of them whose eyes are like soccer. "You!, why are you here?" I asked keeping my hands on my hips.

 "You know I can tell this to mother." here comes the queen of queens, Hansi's mother. "I can tell her all these with some spices." she looked at her nails as if thinking of manicuring it. "If you want me to shut my mouth allow me to stay here".

 Congratulations! Nandini, you are going to experience shit storm.
