"Wake up idiot ! Sab uth chuke hai" Manik yelled
"Sone de na manik !" Mukti screamed covering her face with a cushion
"Mukti ki bachi uth !" Manik yelled hitting her with a pillow
"Kya hai yaar , ugh my head it hurts so bad " mukti wailed
"Coffee ?" Navya offered
"Yes please , you are my saviour !" She replied
"Saaley cabir tujh se to uper wala pooche ga !" Dhruv yelled
"Ok monsters university ke lead actors now that I know you idiots are fine I should be leaving " Raj said
"Uncle please stay a little longer , it's the first time you're here " nandini requested
"i would if I could but I need to go , I have some important work , i'll visit soon " Raj explained
"U better ! nahi toh main dobara sir bulaungi !" She mocked and he laughed
"Come dad I'll walk you out " manik said and they moved out
"She's an amazing girl" Raj whispered as he walked out of the door
"I know !" Manik whispered back and Raj chuckled
"Aunty !" Manik called out as he saw gayatri and ran up to her
"Manik ? Are you ok ?" She asked
"Actually aunty cabir told me about all that we did yesterday , I am sorry for my behavior , woh us gadhe cabir ne pila di thi.." he said
"it's ok main samajhti hun , ab toh theek ho na ?" She asked
"Yeah I'm fine !" He replied
"By the way this is my father Mr. Raj Malhotra and dad this is Mrs Gayatri Mehra the secretary of this building " manik introduced
"Oh so you're dad has finally come around !" Gayatri spoke
"Well yeah I was...."
"How could you !" Gayatri yelled at Raj
"Excuse me ?" He said politely
"Oh no , you excuse me ! " she blurted
"Ma'am..."
"How could you leave your son just like that !" She yelled
"Manik ?" Raj looked at him
"Aunty aap yeh kya...." mani spoke
"Don't worry manik I've got your back tum daro mat apne dad se" gayatri said and manik slapped his forehead
"Aunty that's what I'm trying to say .."
" tum toh chup karo manik ! Aur aap mister Eiffel tower , bete se sirf height same hai aapki else nature , huh ! "
"What do you mean ?" Raj retorted
"Yeh line sirf Justin Bieber ke mun se achi lagti hai , aap rehne dain toh better ho ga !" Gayatri replied
"Is this woman crazy !" Raj said glaring at manik
"Usko ghoorna band kijiye dar jaye ga bechara" she said
"what is wrong with you Mrs Mehra" Raj said trying to keep his cool
"What is wrong with me ! What is wrong with you ? Konsa baap apne bete ko is baat pe ghar se nikalta hai kyunki woh ek larki se pyaar karta hai !" Gayatri yelled
"Mar gaya manik !" Manik said throwing his head back in frustration
"Maine Kab .....?" Raj mumbled looking at manik and he showed him pleading eyes to stay mum
"Aunty but suniye toh ..."
"Chaliye for once forget it , but jab aapki bete ne shaadi Kar li tab bhi aapne usko ghar nahi bulaya !" Gayatri said
"Tum ne Aur nandini ne shaadi Kar li !" Raj yelled looking at manik and manik nodded in a no
"Kar li Matlab ? 7 months ho gaye !" Gayatri said
"Manik !" Raj growled
"Gayatri aunty now would you please just listen to me !" Manik sighed
"Dad is back he's come around , please don't say anything else !" He said and pulled Raj in the elevator
"Manik what the hell is going on ! You both got married and didn't even tell us , are you crazy !" Raj scolded as soon as the elevator door closed
"Dad relax we didn't get married , actually we had to lie to gayatri aunty because live in couples are not allowed in this building and we didn't know that and both of us became roommates by a huge coincidence and we had no option than to live together for 6 months , trust me when we started living together we wren dating but then out of no where gayatri aunty popped up and we had to cook this story up , I am sorry " manik explained as he walked Raj to his car
"Hmm it's ok I understand but the next time I'm here I want that woman at least 200 feet away from me !" Raj said and manik chuckled
"I'll make sure of that !" He replied and his phone started ringing
"One second .." manik said and excused himself nd received the call
"Who was it ?" Raj asked
"Actually it was Tarun , he is the assistant of Mr Sehgal , he is the c.e.o of Q labels , he said that we need to prepare a duet for the trails " manik said
"Well best of luck with that I'm sure you boy would do great , I am actually really late now manik I seriously have to go , I'll see you soon ok !" Raj mentioned
"it's cool dad , you go !" Manik said as Raj left

"I don't believe this !" Nandini said while controlling her laugh after listening to the gayatri and Raj one to one face off
"Has lo has lo , wahan hoti toh Pata chalta" manik sighed and nandini pulled his cheek
"Chalo Mr Senti Malhotra now that our raakshason ki sena has left as well do you mind helping me clean this little home of ours !" Nandini chuckled as manik helped her clean the place
"Done !" She heaved a sigh of relief as she fell on the couch but we suddenly swiped off it into manik's arms as he carried her to the balcony as he sat down with her between his legs
"What are you up to Mr Malhotra ?" Nandini asked and manik forwarded a bottle of beer
"Oh damn ! It's been so long since we've done this " nandini exclaimed as she grabbed the bottle and took a sip and gave it back to manik as he took one
"Nadu Tarun called" manik said
"Acha ? Why ? Weren't we supposed to start after 2 months ?" She asked
"Yeah but actually there's this procedure that the board won't approve us until we sing a duet for them " he mentioned
"Oh so let's prepare something then .." nandini said
"Actually I do have a song , I wrote it one night when I couldn't sleep but it's not complete , would you help me ?" He asked
"Off course buddhu , wait I'll get your guitar !" She ran into their room and came back with his guitar as he slowly struck the chords
Chhuteya na chhute mose
Rang tera dolna
Ik tere bajo dooja
Mera koi mol na
Bolna mahi bolna
Bolna mahi bolna
He raised his eyebrows asking if she's liking it and she showed a thumbs up
Tere liye aaya main toh
Tere sang jaana
Dholna ve tere naal jindani bitava
Kadi na yun chodna
Ishq di dor na
Sare chadh jaaye
Mahi tu na chodna
Bolna mahi bolna
Bolna mahi bolna
"Well that's all I got !" Manik said
"Manik it's amazing ! This is one of the best songs written by you !" She exclaimed
"Yeah but it's incomplete it need a bit of the nandini magic !" He said giving her and Eskimo kiss and she giggled
"Ok so keep the tune just the same and play for a while and let me think " she said and he did as per her wish when she suddenly came up with words and wrote it down
"OK so play now !" She said and he played
Tere sang hasna main
Tere sang rona
Tujh mein hi rehna main
Tujh mein hi khona
She sang looking at manik and manik smiled at her
Dil main chupa ke tujhe
Dil nahi kholna
Marke bhi mahi tuh se
Muh na modna
Bolna mahi bolna
Bolna mahi bolna
Chhuteya na chhute mose
Rang tera dolna
Ik tere baajo dooja
Mera koi mol na
Bolna mahi bolna
Bolna mahi bolna
Bolna mahi bolna
Bolna mahi bolna
Mahi bolna..
Bolna mahi bolna
They sang together as they ended the song
