BOND

Chapter - 6

Fab5 reached MURTHY'S house after picking up navya form her radio station  . All of them move inside to see only Raj and Raman with Abhimanyu seating in the living room . They moved forward and greet everyone and make themselves comfortable on the sofas.

Spending some quality time mukti stood up from the sofa to go towards kitchen for making alya's dinner.

Muk:- you guys talks , i will make a move . I have to prepare dinner too .

After saying that she move towards kitchen . But she don't know what she did just few minutes back .

When Abhimanyu , Raj and Raman heard her,  their breathe got hitched. They look towards each other and gulped their saliva in tension . Fab4 giggles  looking at their expressions . Soon Alya cleared their tension. 

Al:- dad and uncle don't became sad because mukti is making soup and salad for me .

After listening to her they released their breathe which they are holding   . They all starts talking to each other , but stopped in between due to raj's question. 

Raj:- How was your meeting ?

Ma:- it's good dad .... We just have to prepare 3 songs for an album .

Raj:- ( confused ) only 3 songs .

Dhruv reply on behalf of Manik .

Dhr:- yes uncle ...we have to prepare 2 rock songs  and one romantic song . And we have a press conference at the end of this month . Where we are launching our new album .

Ram:- ohh great ! ( After thinking something ) Dhruv why don't you open your relationship with alia in the same press meet . Because you two are going to tie knot soon .

Raj:- yaa it's the great opportunity for this .

Everyone too noads their head in positive . After thinking for a while.

Dhr:- umm uncle i know that it's the best day to announce , but the decision is not mine .  I need alya's confirmation too .

Al:- Dhruv i don't have any problem with it . ( And blink her eyes too giving much needed affirmation to Dhruv , who smiles )

Dhr:- ( smiling ) soo it's decided that we are announcing our relationship in the press meet which is held at the end of this month.

Everyone becomes happy after listening Dhruv's decision.  At the same time both the ladies came from the kitchen and smiles after seeing everyone's smiling face .

Nyo:- what happened ? Why are you all smiling ?

Ca:- aunty , our lovebirds are decided to make their relationship official .

Ish:- ( happily ) really ..... I am soo happy for both of you. 

Nyo:- yaa it's the best decision you took .

Everyone again indulge themselves into the discussion regarding the press conference . Mukti too joined  them and congratulate dhrvalya . Everyone forget about why they all are here , but remembers when they hear cabir asking. 

Ca:- ( seriously ) dad , why Nandini wants to talk to us, all of a sudden.  ( Worried about her ) is she all right ?

Raj:- ( irritated ) don't ask cabir , i asked him the same but he is not ready to say anything . Keep saying that " LET HER CALL " ( imitating his best friend )

Ram:-( angry tone ) for god sake raj shut up . How many times i have to say this again i don't know what she wants to say , that's why I am saying let her call.

Raj:- ( equally angry ) so you can say that again in calm tone . But to whom i am talking the great Raman murthy who don't have calmness in him .

Ram:- ( fake surprised ) ohhh see who is talking about calmness .

Raj:- you know what , your kids are much better than you .

Ram:- you......

They starts their bickering . Youngsters sitting there quietly knowing their fathers  bickering nature . They know that they are much better then their fathers .

Everyone gives each other knowing look . Without giving a damn to their fathers , abhi take them  upstairs in guest rooms to get freshed. Cabir too moves in his room with navya to spend some  cozy time with her.

And the ladies again goes back  into the kitchen to have a last minute check on food.  Leaving their childish husbands behind .

After spending some me time , everyone move towards the living area . Where the two best friends making a call to their princess . Everyone got settled on the sofa infront of the  screen to have a clear look of Nandini . Manik make himself comfortable behind the sofa so that he can admire his jaan easily without any disturbance . 

Soon Nandini pick up the call . Everyone smiles brightly seeing her after a long time .

Nan:-hello my dears and bears ( giggling )

Everyone laughs on her greetings . But our Manik is the only one who is admiring her constantly . Nandini is very well aware of his gaze and tries very hard not to blush in front of whole family . But still Manik is not removing his gaze from her .

Raj:- hello girlfriend . How are you ?

Nan:- hello boyfriend . I am fine. But i must say you look more handsome than before . ( Raj smiles at her compliment )

Ram:- tch tch tch .. Nandini your eyesight got weak.  You come back soon then we will consult a doctor .

Raj gives a mean look to Raman who ignored his not so important looks.

Ish:- please you both don't start again . Let me talk to my baby . ( Turn towards Nandini ) nandu why you become soo thin . Don't you eat your food properly .

Nyo:- right ishu. Princess this is not right we send you there because you promised us that you will take care of yourself .

Nan:- uff maa and maa ( giggles ) i am perfectly fine . Don't take tension . When i came there na then you guyss make me eat lots of dishes so that i put on weight just like cabir bhai . ( Teasingly )

Ca:- ( fake threat )  hey ... You are trying to say that i put on weight .

Nav:- she is not trying , she said . And it's true you become so fat . Now i am thinking to find a new boyfriend . Nandini starts researching .

Ca:- nooooooooo ( pleading ) please Nandini don't do that .

Everyone laughs at cabir's expense.  When they all are talking one soul who is present in the hall physically but mentally he is doing all mature stuffs with his girlfriend in mind.  Constantly staring at her.

Nandini quietly took her phone and messaged Manik . Deliberately she shows her phone to him , trying to make him understand . Getting her actions Manik opened his phone and saw a message from his jaan. 

Please don't stare at me with this much intensity . You know na how difficult it becomes for me not to blush in front of others.

After reading her message he smiles on his effects on her . But to whom she is saying . Instead of removing his gaze he keep staring at her but at this time with much more intensity making her knees go weak after every nano seconds .

Nyo:- okkk ....times up

Ish:- yes......it's too much ( turn her attention towards her daughter ) Nandini you want to say something na . So what is it .

Now everyone got attentive to her .

Nan:- ( dramatically ) thank you so much everyone for letting me speak . So i want to say that i am really sorry . ( In sad tone )

Ram:- ( tensed ) why princess ? Why are you saying sorry . Are you fine na .

Nan:- ( sadly ) dad i am completely fine . It's just that i am not able to came back to India . Got stuck in something important .

Everyone got sad listening her . Manik is sad and angry both because she is the one who promised him that this valentine she is gonna be near him . And now she is breaking her own  promise .

Everyone consoles her not to be sad . They knew that Nandini must have some important work although she will never compensate her family time . They ended the call and started chit chatting to divert their mind . But one soul move towards the garden area after giving an excuse to the younger ones .



Manik reached the garden area and angrily  received nandini's call . Who is calling him from last 2 minutes .

Ma:- ( angrily , without giving her chance  to say anything ) this is too much Nandini . I know that you have your career which is very important for you . But that doesn't mean you will treat me like a trash . You promised me that you will celebrate this valentine day with me . That is why I take 3 days off from office so that i can spend much needed time with you . I am done with it Nandini , i am done. 

He cut the call in anger , without even listening her one word . After that he take his car and zoomed out from the mansion to find his much needed peace . He still don't know that  what s**t he created  in his anger .
