"God....of all the places, Cabir ko bhi yahi aana tha." Manik mumbled as he tried to pull the door open.
"Manik...sun mere baat pls." Arjun said.
"Mujhse aapse koi baat nahi karni hai...kuch nahi sunna hai." Manik replied.
"Rockstall Manik....aap mere Papa se katti ho?" Kuhu asked innocently. Manik didnt want to upset the child so he smiled.
"Nahi beta...woh, hum locked hai na. Isi liye baat nahi karni hai bas nikalna hai." Manik lied. He took out his phone and was about to call Cabir but Nandini snapped and there was a no signal sign on the phone. "What the....yeh signal kaha gaya. Abhi toh tha."
"Main dekhta hoon." Arjun said. He took out his phone.
"Sorry Master ke bhaiya....main aisa nahi hone de sakti." Nandini snapped and now Arjun's phone had no signal.
"Thats weird....mera bhi chala gaya." Arjun looked confused. Manik rolled his eyes and Arjun walked upto him, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Chote...."
"STOP!" Manik jerked his arm away. He then lowered his voice so Kuhu wouldnt get scared, "Just stop...yeh natak band kijiye."
"Natak nahi hai yeh....bhai hoon main tera."
"Bhai? (Laugh) Really? 11 saal pehle aapko yaad nahi tha ke main aapka chota bhai hoon!" Manik asked, tearing up. "Mr & Mrs Malhotra ne jo kiya woh kiya....but I expected you and Karan bhai to be on my side....to understand me. Main humesha se aap dono ke zyada kareeb tha but aap dono ne bhi bas mujhe blame kiya."
"Im sorry Manik.....Hum sab ko apne galati ka ehsas hai."
"Yeah well its too late." Manik replied.
"Aisa mat bol-"
"Aapki beti hai yahan, main uske samne kuch ulta seedha nahi bolna chahta so just....leave me alone." Manik whispered.
Suddenly the door unlocked and Cabir entered. "Dude yeh bahar se locked kaise-"
"Oh Noo...Cabir ko bhi abhi aana tha?" Nandini muttered.
"Hi Cabir." Arjun smiled.
"Uh....Hi....Arjun Bhai." Cabir replied awkwardly.
"You done eating?" Manik asked.
"Haan yaar kabse! I was waiting for you lekin tu aa hi nahi raha tha toh main aa gaya." Cabir told him. Manik nodded and walked past him. Cabir followed quickly behind.
Arjun picked his daughter up and went back to eating while Manik & Cabir left the restaurant. Nandini frowned as she watched all this.

"Dekha? Maine kaha tha tujhse...itna asaan nahi hoga yeh sab." Navya told her sister as Nandini complained about what happened.
"Par Di...uss film mein toh sab kuch thik ho gaya tha!" Nandini said innocently. Navya blinked at her in disbelief.
"Tune....tune ek film se yeh idea li?" Navya asked. Nandini nodded with a proud grin. "Kya karun main iss ladki ka....Nandu, yeh REAL life hai....filmon mein jo hota hai woh real life mein nahi hota hai! Ek hi mulakat mein sab kuch thik nahi hoga....time lagega iske liye."
"Its not fair....sab Cabir ke vajah se hua." Nandini pouted like a child. " Woh agar galat time pe nahi aata toh sab kuch mere plan ke according hota."
Navya just chuckled as her when the door opened and Manik returned with Cabir.
"Hey girls!" Cabir greeted them.
"Hi..." Navya greeted.
"Hmm!" Nandini turned away, her arms crossed.
