MaNan: It all started with a lie

The Three Musketeers

Abhi: ha baby doll varna amma dategi

Nandini: ok Bhai

Listening to this Manik's all patience washed away and he burst out angrily.

Manik*angry*: no! Nandu kahi nahi ja rahi!

He declared angrily making nandini a little scared.

Dhruv: so buddy ka monster avatar is back ha

Navya: bechari nandu kitna dar gayi hogi

Abhi: are pucho mat...she was very much scared

Nandini still comoised herself and walked to manik to know the reason of his sudden outburst.

Nandini: mani kya hua?

Manik: tum ghar nahi ja rahi ho

Nandini: are but Bhai ne bola hai na and fir amma bhi gusha (gussa) karegi

She explained cutely but that did not deter manik.

Manik: main Aunty ko samjha dunga but you are not going anywhele (anywhere)

He spoke adamantly.

Nandini: but mani Bhai-

Now that was it for manik, and he again yelled angrily.

Manik: Kya Bhai ha? You know tumhala (tumhara) Bhai jabse aaya hai na tabshe (tabse) you are with him only and tumne toh- tumne toh unko apna best wala friend bhi bola. Tumhala best friend main hu na, manik then tumne aisa kyu kiya? I am katti with you...you go...tum jao with your Bhai...I will not talk to you...katti!

Saying this he turned his face while nandini had started sobbing now.

Aryaman: bechari nandu

Alia: manik you scolded her so bad!?

Manik: hmm and I really regret it now (looking at nandini) sorry

Nandini: are whats gone is gone...and ab uske bare me sochke guilty feel karne ki koi zaroorat nahi hai..ya?

Manik just smiled.

Mukti: fir kya hua? Did you realise your mistake?

Abhi: fir I and manik had a talk

Aryaman: bro tu toh bohot gusse me hoga na as he made nandu cry?

Maddy: nahi yaar arya...am sure ki he would have still been calm kyuki knowing Abhi voh kabhi bhi impulsively behave nahi karega...right Abhi?

Abhi: right

After Manik's outburst nandini ran to her room in the malhotra mansion crying while Abhi was still stood there near the door as manik stood facing his back to him. Moments passed but none uttered a word and finally Abhi decided to break the ice.

Abhi: manik?

Manik: I don't want to talk to you...you are bad. Tumhale (tumhare) vajah se I shouted on nandu

Abhi smiled at his innocence and stood in front of him to talk.

[Note: Abhi is an year elder to manik and two years older to nandini]

Abhi: yes that you did but ab hum kya kar sakte hai?

Manik: I don't know...yeh na is all because of you...tumne meri nandu ko steal kar diya isliye voh Tumhe apna best friend bula rahi thi jabki uska best wala friend toh main hu na
