preparing juice and other stuffs for everyone. He moved towards his mother quietly and hugged her

from back startling her.

Nyo:- (shocked ) ahhh......Manik you scared me ....( Smacking his head ) How many times i told you

don't scares me like this . And don't hug me when i am working in kitchen.

Ma:- ( childishly ) mom i love u ( hugging her more tightly ) if i don't hugged you then to whom i hugged.

( Rested his chin on her shoulder )

Raj too come out after getting ready for office and move towards dining area Only to see Alya seating

there and doing something on phone. He further moves towards kitchen , very well knowing about his

son. ( Nodding his head in disbelief ) He came in the kitchen and listen there talks .

Raj:- ( separating him from his wife ) don't stick to my wife JUNIOR MALHOTRA (possesively) . Go to your girl.

Nyonika doing her work because for her this is her daily routine . And she is successfully ignoring both

father- son duo.

Ma:- (absent mindly ) she is not here .( After realising ) aaa.......dad what are you saying i don't have any

girl.

Both Raj and nyo seeing him with suspicious look .

Ma:- (trying to change the topic) dad she is your wife and my mom too. So i have full right on her . (

Turning towards his mom ) mom please bring breakfast i am damn hungry .

Giving cold attitude to his father he kissed nyo's cheek and ran out from the kitchen Saving himself from

his father who is burning in jealousy . Raj see's his retreating figure till he got vanished from his side. And turn his attention towards his lovely wife . Nyo see's him ,exactly knowing what is about to happen next .

Raj:- (whining) nyo ....

Nyo stopped him in mid and changed the topic .

Nyo:- raj you are getting late for office . And food is also getting cold . (Moving out from the kitchen)

Raj followed her like a love sick puppy . And sit on the head chair . Nyo sit on the left chair beside raj ,

Alya is sitting on the right chair beside her Manik sat. Raj time to time glaring at Manik , which have no

In the car

Raj:- Manik don't you want to go SHINE ? ( company which Manik owns )

Ma:- no dad i have to join today's meeting with you regarding our new tender .

On the same time manik's phone rings showing JAAN ....he parked his car aside and immediately take the call so that raj doesn't see the caller name.

Call conversation

Nan:- hello mani

Nan:- ( excitedly ) mani you know what i got a internship in well reputed hospital here for 3 months . I

am soo sooo happy ( twirling around ) And you are the first person to whom i gave this news.

Ma:- ( smiling brightly ) congratulations jaa...( stopped abruptly and turn towards raj , who has all

concentration on him only ) i knew that you get best opportunity , do your best .

Nan:- ( sensing his discomfort while talking ) you are with someone ?

After the call ended Manik again start the car. He is very well aware of his father's gaze on him . Exactly

knowing that now enquiry session is going to start. Raj continuously staring at him . After sometime he

finally asked him .

Raj :- who is the caller ? ( Suspiciously )

Ma:- A friend of mine . Why are you asking ?

Raj:- which friend ? I know your all friends ( narrowing his eyes ) . And the most important thing from

when my arrogant son started talking politely , and smiling that too brightly when he is talking with his

so called friend .

Ma:- ( with his all time attitude ) offo...dad it's just a client with whom i got really close as a friend . And

please stop your ACP PRADUMAN'S questions like how , when , whom . ( Rolling his eyes ) it's not a

crime to talk with someone politely. Or is it ? ( Asking while raising his eyebrows )

Raj:- ( smirking ) True , it's not a crime to talk with someone politely . But it's really became an

interesting topic when THE MANIK MALHOTRA did so.

Manik bite his lower lip to stop himself from smiling after seeing his father's smirking face.

Ma:- dad we reached .

Raj immediately see outside the window to saw that they reached office . Manik immediately got down

from the car to avoid further inquiry . Raj too followed him . Manik himself opened office's gate for raj

to enter , and followed him behind. Everyone stand seeing there bosses coming in full attitude , and

started greeting them with good mornings . Both father and son noads their head in reply of their

greetings and move towards their cabin to start there work .

This is the equation which both father and son shared. Sometimes they behaved like enemies ,

sometimes they became best friends of each other , when the situation demands they became matured

to understand each other .

After entering in the cabin Manik firstly called his jaan to have his daily routine conversation with her

and congratulated her too for the internship. After atleast 15 min. he cut the call on the instance of

Nandini and indulge himself in office work. Completing his work fastly he prepared himself for leaving

the office premises around 2:30 to reach at R-SERIES studio for album contract where whole FAB5 is

waiting for him . Before exiting the cabin he writes a message to Nandini stating that he will call her

whenever he got free. He moves towards his dad's cabin , knocked the door . After getting permission he moved inside . Raj looked up from the file on which he is working .

Raj:- (raising his eyebrows asking what )

Ma:- dad , i am leaving for the meeting .

Raj:- ok my son ...all the best

Ma:- thank you dad , bye .

And finally he moved towards his destination .
