Murthy residence
Nandini came running inside with a waddling ridhima behind her..
Mrs murthy-"where were u both?Is this the way.Mehmaan hai ghar pe aur tum dono hi gayab ho".Mrs murthy was very angry and was is no mood to hear any explanations.Finally Ridhima took charge of the situation"mom!nandu ko mae le gae thi apne sath..mjhe craving ho ri thi and aap hi toh kehte ho ke pregnancy cravings ko nae rokhna chahiye.".she explained in full drama mode..
Mrs murthy sighed"kya karu mai tum dono ka..acha jao aur tyaar ho jao..and yes nandini wear something indian"
With this both the sisters retreated to their respective rooms
Meanwhile fab 5 had also reached the mansion..
Mrs murthy:"Aa gae bacho.Come inside.U all must be tired.Let me show u all ur room.Tum log rest karo aur kuch bhi chahiye ho jst ask without any formality.Consider it ur own house" saying this she showed them their rooms.Manik and Cabir in one room,Alya and Dhruv in one and Mukti in one..
Cabir got in his teasing mode"kya baat hai bhai.Apki honewali sasuma toh badi sweet hai aur abhi se itni khatir dari ho ri aapki...Aish hai"
Manik :"shut up Cabir.Kabhi toh chup raha kar.Go and freshen up"
Cabir:"ha ha ..jara hu.Waise bhai, apne socha hai k iss bade se ghar ke kissi kamre mai apki ,you know woh bhi hai...apko milne ka mann ni hora"he teased
Mukti:"haa yaar Manik..matlab tujhe na uska naan pta hai na uski photo dekhi hai..aren't u curious to know ke woh kaun hai,kaisi dikhti hai"
Manik stood up and went near the window, with his back facing all of them ,finally replied"frankly speaking maine kabhi socha hi nae.Mtlb pehle toh maine haa sirf mom dad ki khushi k liye ki thi and i trust them..unka bas chale toh woh mere liye pari le aae and m sure if they have selected her then kuch toh baat hogi usme..and rahi baat ek dusre ko milne ki,jan ne ki toh hum yaha issi liye aaye hai."
Dhruv"buddy m proud of u"
Manik just smiled and walked inside to freshen up..
9 pm:dinner time
Nandini entered the kitchen to see her mum and nyonika gossiping and laughing like school girls
"Uhu uhu""yeh kya ho ra hai yaha.."
And then she went and greeted nyonika"namaste aunty..kaisi hai aap?'
Nyonika:"mai theek hu beta..tum kaisi ho?"then she cupped her face"kitni sundar lag ri ho ..kisi ka nazar na lage"
Nandu just blushed and looked down..then getting her composure back said"aap dono yaha kitchen mae kya kar re ho..chalo table pe baithiye..yaha sb mai dekh lungi" and forcefully sent them out..
Meanwhile all had come and were seated including fab 5..
Shashank(nandini dad):"arre aarti sb aa gae hai..tum khana lagwao..bhook lagi hai sbko"
Before arti could reply,nyonika interrupted"bhaishab hum toh khana laa hi rae the,bt humari nandini bitiya ne hume bahar bhej dia keh k ki aaj kitchen woh sambhalegi"
Hearing nandini's name cabir started fake coughing and whispered such that only fab 5 could hear"oh!!toh humari bhabhiji ka naam nandini hai..pretty name..name itna pretty hai toh woh kitni pretty hongi"
And to everyone disbelief manik started blushing..fab 4 started coughing (for real this time)
Dhruv:"i dnt believe this"
Then they see a girl entering with a tray filled with food..She was wearing a red coloured suit which complimented her fair skin, her long tresses flying with her movement..her hands filled with bangles were producing a melodious sound..
Fab 5 were shocked seeing her..their eyes were popping out of their socket,while manik had gone into a long trance state and just muttered a single word"beautiful!"
