(Manik's POV) After spending time with Nandini, the following was going to be hectic. With the meetings and everything lined up. In the same week, On Wednesday, I got a call from someone unexpected.

(Manik on phone) "Hello, Manik Malhotra here."

(Nandini) "You didn't take the number from me." A voice complained on the other end.

(Manik) "Nandini! I am in a meeting. Shall I call you back?"

(Nandini) "Fine."

(Manik's POV) She grumbled and kept the phone. Somehow, I tried to finish the discussion as fast as possible. I am worse than a high school kid. But I couldn't call her until lunch break. Then after the meeting I called her up

 Then after the meeting I called her up

(Manik) "I have been having this number since school."

(Nandini) "Really? Its almost impossible for me. I have a number for work and another for home."

(Manik) "I do have a number for home. That keeps changing. I need to inform less number of people when that is changed."

(Nandini very sweetly) "Give me your home number then."

(Manik) "Sure, I will text it later."

(Manik's POV) We chatted about Random things, we asked each other about health as well as work. Somehow, the conversation feels like that of lovers. Whenever my ex-girlfriends nagged about my number, I always dumped them, thinking they are getting too clingy but I like this.

(Nandini all of a sudden asked) "Manik, you really want to see Cavya (Cabir + Navya = Cavya) and Payal?"

(Manik) "It would be nice but I know it is not going to happen for some time at least, if not forever. Both husband and wife (Cavya) are adamant and I don't blame them"

(Nandini) "Um.... I am not able to visit her since I have ER shifts and appointments but both said that they would visit me."

(Manik) "So?"
