Airport.
9 : 00 pm.

Sitting in the waiting area, Mukti was fully engrossed in the magazine in her hand and keept on blushing. Yes, ' The Mukti Malhotra ' aka ' tomboy ' was blushing! !!!.....and why won't she? ???....after all, the whole magazine spread was covered with the pictures of 'Abhimanyu Murthy :the youngest entrepreneur ' or to be precise, Mukti's 'long time SECRET crush '....okay, more than crush. ...
Mukti is a huge fan of Abhimanyu and is completely inspired by him.
Since her college days, Mukti has been studying hard, to land a job in ' Murthy Corporations '.
Finally, Mukti's hard work is paying off, as today she is flying to Canada, to join Abhimanyu's team as a Brand Manager.
Mukti ( pov ) ( nervously ) : finally. ....kal main Abhimanyu se milne wali hu! !!!!.....ek ajeeb si beychaaini hai. ....ek ajeeb sa ehsaas. ....pataa nehin Abhimanyu kaisa hoga? ???....pataa nehin kal humari pehli mulaqat kaisi hogi?????....god ji. ...aap toh mere dil ka haal jante hi ho. ....please. ....sab sambhal lena. ...
Thinking about Abhimanyu, Mukti waited for her flight, impatiently.

Departure area.

After collecting their luggage, Navya, Nandini and Naira walked out of Gate No. 3A, only to face the crowd of Mumbai.
Nandini ( freaking out ) : oh shit. ...this is ' population boom '
Naira  ( excitedly ) : finally we are in India. ...our own country. ....
Navya ( seriously ) : I am not at all liking this. ...
The Murthy Sisters were dragged out of their thoughts, by the constant buzzing of Navya's mobile.
On seeing the caller id, Navya immediately received the call and put it on speaker.
Before Murthy Sisters could say anything, the person on the other end started bombarding them with questions.
Abhi  ( tensed ) : are you guys alright? ???....did you land in Mumbai safely? ???....aapna luggage collect kiya naa? ????.....plane mein koi problem toh nehin hua naa? ???....should I call the Airport Authorities? ????.....why are you guys not saying anything? ???
Naira  ( calmly ) : bhai. ....just take a deep breath. ...
Hearing the soothing voice of his sister, Abhimanyu immediately relaxed and followed what she said.
Naira  ( happily ) : hum Mumbai safely pohach gaye hai bhai. ...aur aapna luggage bhi collect kar liya. ...
Abhi  ( smiling ) : thank god. ....pataa hai main kitna ghabra gaya tha jab tumlog aapna phone nehin utha rahe the! !!!
Nandini ( childishly ) : aww. ...our over protective bro! !!!
Abhi  ( smiling ) : ab behene agar tum jaisi pyaari ho. ...toh bhai ko over protective hona hi paddta hai! !!!!!
Navya ( calmly ) : don't worry bhai. ...we are fine. ..
Abhi  ( teasingly ) : waise Navu. ...office ke pehele din hi. ...please aapne juniors ko maat darana! !!!!
On hearing this, Navya rolled her eyes. While, Nandini giggled.
Abhi  ( playfully ) : and Nandu. ...please aapna pagalpanti thoda control mein rakhna! !!!
Nandini ( pouting ) : so mean bhai. ..
Hearing this, Abhimanyu giggled.
Abhi  ( lovingly ) : Navu baby. ...aapna dhyaan rakhna. ...aur aapne badi beheno ko bhi sambhal lena. ..
On this comment, Navya and Nandini made bad faces.
Naira  ( giggling ) : chill bhai. ...main inn ka acche se khayaal rakhungi
Abhi  ( lovingly ) : okay then. ...ghar pohach ke mujhe phone karna. ...aur aapna dhyaan rakhna. ...and one more thing. ...I love you three a lot. ....meri jaan ho tum teeno. ....
Navya, Nandini and Naira  ( in unison ) : we also love you bhai. ...
Saying this, they hung up.
Taking a cab, the Murthy Sisters headed towards their temporary abode, all set to embark on a new journey.

Malhotra Mansion.

Nyonika was pacing to and fro in the living room. While, Raj tried to calm her down, only gaining dangerous glares from her.
Finally, at quarter to twelve ,she heard the sound of the car, outside the mansion.
Taking a deep breath of sigh, she got into her ' angry mom mode '.
Pulling each others leg, the Malhotra Boy's enterd, only to find their mother, huffing like a bull.
Nyonika ( angrily ) : kitna baaj raha hai? ????
Cabir ( scared as hell ) barah baaj raha hai! !!!!!
Nyonika ( spat ):  yeh kya koi waqt hai ghar wapas ane ka? ????
Kartik  ( innocently ) : nehin mom
Manik ( calmly ) : sorry mom. ...woh ek urgent meeting ke liye presentation ready karna tha. ...
Nyonika ( sarcastically ) : office ko hi aapna ghar kyon nehin baana lete! !!!!!!
Sensing the rising anger of Nyonika, the Malhotra Boy's stood in a line, with their heads bowed down, like scared puppies.
Nyonika ( angrily ) : bahut ho gaya. ...ab tum logo ko sudharna mere bass mein nehin hai. ...tum sab ka sirf ek hi punishment hai SHAADI! !!!!!!
On hearing the word ' shaadi ', Malhotra Boy's yelled, horrifiedly "NEHIN! !!!!!"
Nyonika ( adamantly ) : yeh hi sahi hoga! !!!!...kal main Raj ke saath ek month ke liye business tour pein jaa rahi hu. ....aur wapas ate hi. ...ladkiyan dhoondh ke tum teeno ki shaadi karwa dungi! !!!!.....and that is my final. ...
Giving Raj her I- am - damn - serious - wala - look, Nyonika left from there.
Scared by Nyonika, Raj turned his head only to find Malhotra Boy's giving him dad - please - bacchalo -wala - look. Feeling extremely sorry for his sons, Raj gave them his mujhe -maaf -kar doo -wala - look and left.
After measuring the depth of seriousness in Nyonika's threat, the Malhotra Boy's gave each other we -are -dead -wala - look.
