~The beauty of a relationship, lies in there. Understanding!~

-Affu-

In India 

In Murthy House

"Manik bete!" Sujata exclaimed, happily, while staring at Manik, who was at their doorstep. "Hey Chachi!" Manik bent to touch her feet, who patted on his head, and welcomed him inside.

"How come you're here, in the early morning, when Mr. Perfect Malhotra is supposed to be in his office, working on something very important?" Sujata teased, while stretching the word 'very' and Manik stared at her, with a pout.

"Not fair, Chachi. I'm here to meet all of you, neglecting the very most important work I have, and here you're being mean to me. Chal, jaa raha hun mein." Manik turned to leave, when Sujata pulled at his ears, lightly.

"So Ma has lost the right to tease her son, now. Hain na?" She glared playfully at Manik, who grinned at her. "Of course not. Had you lost that right, we sons would never get pampered." he stated, and Sujata chuckled before Manik stared to drag her along.

"Where are Chachi number 2, 3 and 4?" asked Manik, wandering his eyes around. "They're in the kitchen." informed Sujata, while Manik nodded in understanding, muttering an OH.

"Alright! Chachis!" Manik screamed, gaining the ladies' attention, that they rushed outside, expecting Manik. "You'll never change, Malhotra." the ladies muttered, before engulfing Manik, in a hug.

"Kind of, ladies! Now, sabko bulao. Ek important message hain." Manik informed, gaining their attention. "What message?" enquired Vandana, frowning, while Manik just grinned.

"About my girlfriend." he announced, widening the ladies' eyes.

"You have a girlfriend?"

"Since when?"

"Why didn't you tell us?"

"Who is it?"

"How does she look?"

"Where is she from? India, right?"

"What is she doing? Studying or working?"

"Wo sab chod! Why the hell didn't you tell us?"

And that came from Vandana, who glared down at Manik, and he gulped down, before..

Grinning!

"Yes! I have a girlfriend, for the past 2 months. She's beautiful, but a Lilliput, in front of me. She's an Indian, but born and brought up in London. She's working, in Manjeet lifecare hospital, as a Gynecologist. I didn't tell anyone, because, till a few weeks ago, we didn't have any plans to get married, but now we do." Manik explained, and all the ladies did were staring at him.

But there was one soul whose brain was calculating something. A girl born and brought up in London, and working in Manjeet, as a Gynecologist.

"It can't be." Vandana muttered to herself.

"Oh yeah! And her name is Nandini Murthy." Manik added, and Vandana slumped on the couch, in shock.

"Oh teri ki!" she muttered again, while palming her mouth, aghast.

"Na-Nandini Mu-Murthy?" Hema stuttered. "Um..Manu, tu kal aaja. Aaj tere dimaag teek nahi lag raha hain. (Um..Manu, come tomorrow. Today, your mind isn't working right.)" Mallika intervened, and Manik stared at her blankly.
