MaNan/Pani FF: Reel Vs Real

Ch4: Party and After Party

NANDINI'S POV:

I gave myself a last glace in the mirror and winked at myself for I was looking decent enough I thought.

Cabir was coming to pick me up.
I knew all the girls there would be dressed in short dresses, honestly, I am comfertable with them too, but since this was the launch party, I wanted to be a little in my character. You know..umm, I mean my character is a kind of a person who wears clothes covering her skin completely. And well, I think my jumpsuit looked nice enough.
I wonder how much do boys think about their attires. I mean, we girls toh be sure of every detail on her dress, accessories, footwear, makeup, everything in short to be on point. A small thing like an eyeliner needs to be 'on point'. I giggled at this thought. But no, really, do boys also work over their attire like us?
Naaah, lazy asses they are! But that coconut tree toh is always tiptop ready sheady. Looks like he is always stepping out of the salon! Huh! Attitude kahin ka. First day pe itne acche se I tired saying hello. And him? Khadoos! Huh!

My thoughts were broken by Cabir's call. He was down, waiting. I hurriedly got up, looked at the mirror again, oopes, I know I did say 'last glance at myself' earlier aswell but, what to do..addat se majboor. Hah!
Shruti had gone out to Jaipur for her offical work for a month so the house practically was only accommodating me. I talk too much, gosh. Locking the door I rushed outside to the car waiting below my apartment.

I got in and we exchanged a warm friendly hug.

"Looking great Nandu!" He exclaimed while igniting the car engine as we drove away.

I loved the fact that me and Cabir got so friendly so fast. I mean idk, it's like a nice feeling to have a fabulous vibrant company always.

We had some fun talks on our way. There was huge traffic that we had to face. Nothing new in Mumbai, duh! As a result, we got a late aswell.

Manik's POV:

I reached the venue ON TIME. Yes. Haha, I mentally patted myself for being on time.

But wait, what do I see? No other cast member present here. Wow.

I saw Vikas talking to someone. I went towards him.

"What's upp? Nice arrangements!" I told Vikas.

"Woah! Pinch me!" Vikas said pooping his eye sockects out as if he's seen some ghost.

"What?!"

"Yaaa. Manik Malhotra on time. This is unbelievable! " he mocked me.

"C'on yaa. And upar se you should be appreciating me,no? Bakkiyon ko dekho, stars banne nahi, ki late anne ka attitude shuru!" I said irritatedly. I know I was being callous. But that's me...deal with it!

"Hah! Look who's talking!" He again mocked.

Then I spotted Druv coming along with some tall young guy.

They approached us. Vikas greeted them warmly. He introduced us to that guy.
Harshad Saxena! He was in Cabir's last reality show apparently. He was going to play the negative role in the show.

We three spoke for a while, nice sweet guy. We gelled well.

My eyes were constantly at the entrance. I was waiting for others. Others as in sab log umm,like all the girls. And that little creature with cubby cheeks as well. I thought she is a 'I am so punctual' kind of a person. Where was she now han?
Ohgod. Manik you just need one mention of her and tu shuru ho jata hai. You just can't stop thinking na?!

My mental cursing was interrupted by three extremely pretty ladies greeting me.
Mukti, Alya, Navya.

Druv: Finally you guys are here
