Few years back there was a rumour of Manik Malhotra dating a common girl named Nandini Murthy then the focus shifted to Prerna Sharma.

"What nonsense. Why this media blew everything up? Kuch bhi bolte hai yaar. Kabhi toh logonke bare me soch liya kare" Navya frustratingly switched off her television and throw the remote on couch.

She walked till her room to take her mobile to check any msg from Nandini but after finding nothing she dialed Aliya's number.

"Hey Navi, abhi meri kaise yaad aayi? Generally you call Nandini whenever you want to talk to someone. I am always the second one in your list" Aliya huffed with fake anger but decided to stop her tease as there was silence from other side.

"Navya? What happened baba? Everything alright? Tum thik ho? Gharpe toh sab thik hai na? Matarani kaise ji rahi hongi without you taking her Name" Aliya again tried to make Navya speak.

"Alu tumne abhi TV dekha?" Navya question came with plain tone.

"No i didn't see. Kuch interesting aa raha hai kya?" Aliya asked in excited tone.

"Nahi hi dekha hoga tabhi itni happy ho." Navya's tone made Aliya curious.
"Navya please stop beating around the bush? Hua kya hai bolo" Aliya was irritated with Navya's riddle language.

"Humne abhi just Manik ke new webseries ka launch premier dekha. Kya yaar ye media wale kuch bhi bole jaa rahe hai Alu. Matarani ki kasam kuch samaz nahi aa raha. I want Nandini to stay away from all of this. Though I didn't hear what Manik talked to the press but ye sab ab haath se nikla jaa raha hai" Navya vent it out in single breath.

"Are you serious? And Nandini? Did you by chance talk to her? Ohh god why her life is so complicated? Kash wo kabhi Manik se mili hi naa hoti" Aliya said in hurt tone.

"Aliya, hamare samne bola but uske samne galati se bhi kuch mat bol dena aur ye sab toh bilkul nahi. Chalo ab hum rakhte hai. I think she is on duty and hamari aaj afternoon OPD hai toh hum bhagte hai. Please try to talk to her dekhna kuch pata cahle toh" Navya said in hurried tone and after bidding bye they cut the call.
