MaNan: It all started with a lie

Monster Manik

Manik entered the auditorium with a wide smile after changing into the outfit that nandini selected for him to find his friends waiting for him there with their arms crossed and a smirk on their faces.

Manik: what?

Mukti: kuch nahi bas dekh rahe the ki aaj kal tu kuch zyada smile nahi karta?

Cabir: are mukti yeh bhi koi question hai? Ofcourse ab toh voh humesha smile hi karega na aakhir iss par nandini ka asar jo chad raha hai...you know nandini magic

Aryaman: yeah aur ab yeh nandini magic iska peecha itni asani se nahi chodne wala

Abhi: voh sab toh theek hai but manik nandu kaha hai? Tere saath hi thi na voh?

Manik: voh bas aati hogi

Maddy: there she is

Everyone turned to look at nandini who was walking towards them, busy talking to her dear aiyyappa.

Manik: tumhare aiyyappa ko thoda toh free time do...pura din unke saath kuch na kuch baate karti rehti ho just like a complaint box

He teased.

Nandini*glares*: manik tum na nahi samjhoge

Maddy: Oye jungli billi yeh sab chod aur bata where were you

Nandini: are voh na my mangalore friend sujata...you remember?

Maddy: how can I forget her! Jab bhi muh kholti thi toh band hone ka naam hi nahi leti thi

Abhi: ha exactly! Voh kabhi itna bolne se thakti hi nahi thi

Nandini: ha uska hi call aaya tha so was talking to her

Manik: ek second...Abhi who sujata? I don't remember anyone from this name

Abhi: are manik that girl whom we used to tease for her extra oily ponytails voh

Manik: oh uska naam sujata hai?

Abhi: ha

Soha: guys now if you are done toh photoshoot start kare?

Alia: ya sure

Soha: ok then manik-

But she stopped as Manik's phone started ringing.

Manik: excuse me guys...dad ka call hai..have to take this

Soha: but manik its time for your solo shoots

Manik: ha toh start with someone else na...dhruv, buddy tu ja

Soha: no manik solo shoot sirf tumhare liye hai

Manik: sirf mere liye kyu?

Soha: are because you are the lead na and yeh log honge kahi side pe...you will only be the center of attraction

Nandini*to herself*: ab toh iss poha ko koi nahi bacha sakta

Manik*angrily*: what did you just say!? Yeh log side pe honge(pointing at fab 5) ha? Then Ms. Soha Khurana let me clear one thing...yeh jo log hai na its because of them ki main yeh album kar raha hu varna I have no interest in this stupid album of yours and agar tum mere friends ko ache se treat nahi kar sakti na then I don't want this album of yours....DO HELL WITH IT! And do hell with you

He spoke through gritted teeth sending a shiver down everybody's spine.

Nandini: manik just relax ok...calm down. We can sort this out with a peaceful talk

Manik: no nandini I am no more interested in this stupid album of hers. She doesn't respect my friends na then I don't respect her and this album

He declared and left the auditorium, his eyes red with anger.
