Thanks for the beautiful cover shivu_05 I love Nandini in that outfit :) loved the cover 😘😘
The same day: (Evening in India)
Fab5 were busy with their own works. Manik's flight was in the next 3 hours. As he did not have to pack anything, he was watching tv with Dhruv. Cabir was still in office, Alya and Mukti were at Alya's store and Navya was in the kitchen trying some new dish. She always tries cooking new things at home, makes her friends try and based on the reviews she adds them to her restaurant menu.
"Yeh Lo boys! Try this.. Aur bathaao kaise banaa hain..." she said and put two plates on the table infront of them.
"They look beautiful! Kya hain yeh" dhruv asked picking up the plate.
"Pasta with grilled Egg plant and Cheese pops" she said and the boys literally drooled.
(Well that's what I had for dinner two hours back 😍😍)
Manik took one stick and tried the cheese pop while dhruv first tried the pasta.
"Delicious" they both said together.
"This is really delicious!! Wow I just love cheese" Manik said picking up another pop, while Dhruv was busy with the pasta.
Meanwhile Cabir was back when the plates where almost empty and these two were gobbling over for more.
"Tum biwi meri ban ne waali ho Aur khaana dhevaron ko khilaa rahi ho ! Wah Bhai wah" Cabir said loosening his tie.
"Tumhaare liye special hain, ruko Ek minute" she said and went back into the kitchen. She was back with another plate with pasta and pops and a juice glass.
"Thankyou" he said and took the plate.
"Manik I think tujhe nikalnaa hain like in 30 minutes" Cabir said having his food.
"Mmmm Navya these are yummy dear" he said while eating.
"Cabir Tu lucky hain yaar! Tujhe Roz Roz ithna achha khaana khaane ko milega " Manik said.
"Wohh toh Mein hoon" Cabir replied smilingly, putting his hand around Navya's shoulder. She smiled.
"Chalo I'll go get ready" Manik said and went to his room.
After 30 minutes:
He was ready in a simple blue tshirt and black jeans.
"Okay guys! See you soon" he said walking out of the house. He drove to the airport and left the car there, so that they can come back without troubling anyone.
At the airport:
He wanted to buy something for her as a small welcome gift, so he was looking around in the store, when he found a nice hat. He could picture her wearing it and took that for her.
Soon it was time for boarding and within 2 hours he reached Abu Dhabi. He quickly checked her flight timings and there were just 20 more minutes for landing so he was waiting at the Arrivals.
Manik:
I was waiting at the arrivals and yes her flight just landed. Mein toh aise excite ho raha hoon jaise I am meeting her for the first time.
People started coming out but where's this girl. Almost 60-70 people came out and still she was not seen and her phone was still not switched on. And that's when I felt someone trying hard to cover my eyes with their palms. I could easily make out its her. I bent down a little,
"It should be fine now" I said as the palms were now on my eyes.
"How do you know it's me?" She asked cutely. I turned back to see her, my potato. I hugged her immediately and she hugged me back.
"I am sorry princess" I said.
"Ssshh Manik no sorry vorry" she said still hugging me.
I broke the hug and kissed her forehead, "was the flight okay?" I asked and she nodded her head smiling.
(My favorite scene!!!)
"Acha let's pick your luggage" I said and we walked to the baggage counter.
"That one" she said showing her bags. I put them on the cart and we started walking out when she became naughty.
"Manik apnaa phone dho" she said and I gave her my phone. She clicked my picture while I was pushing the cart and sent it to her phone. She probably must have not seen the picture I sent else I would've been dead by now.
"Where's your phone?" I asked her.
"Battery got drained. Ghar jaake I'll charge it" she said walking beside me. It felt so good having her back and my heart beat was back to normalcy.
"Wohh Kya hain?" She asked looking at the bag that had the hat.
"Oh sorry, this is for you" I said and gave her the bag. She took out the hat and put it on.
"Pretty" I said. She was looking so cute.
"Thankyou" she replied fixing the hat correctly.
We checked in her bags and waited at the lounge.
"So all this planning huh? Nice" I said holding her hand.
"Yes! Pehle gussa thi, but then I thought Ki no jhagda, agar Tum call nai karthe toh bhi Mein Aaj aa jaa thi" she replied. How honest.
"And that's why I love my baby" I replied.
She just smiled.
We were sitting at the waiting area when two girls walked to us.
"Manik Malhotra" they said doubtfully and I nodded my head.
"So you are really back! We thought that was fake news... I am a huge fan of yours.. Just one picture please" one of the girls asked.
"You guys go ahead. Manik there's a charging station over there I'll be back in a while" she said and went away.
The two girls were sitting and talking to me, trying to pull out as much news as they can.
Nandini was back after 15 minutes and just then the girls left.
"Manikkkkkkkk" she said pulling my left ear.
"Oucchhh Nandini! It's hurting" I said.
"What kind of a picture is this! Aisa mazaak kartha hain Kya koi" she asked showing that pic.
"Hehehe sorry! Masti tha baby" i said sheepishly.....so much like Nandkni.
She hit my head and sat next to me.
"By the way, look who's back on Social media" she said showing me my own Facebook page. Yes! I was back on social media. As things again started to become I thought I should also get back to my old lifestyle. I used social media extensively to connect with my fans.
She accepted my freind request. And I saw her typing something smiling naughtily.
"Nandini! Mein yahee pe hoon and you are busy with your phone? Bad manners" I said and she was still smiling. Meanwhile my phone beeped and there was a notification in Facebook.
This girl and her nutty ideas. She posted that picture in which I was pushing the cart with a comment:
(Sorry pic thoda blurry hain)
"When The RockStar himself becomes your personal Coolie! 😂😂"
"Tit for tat" she said showing her teeth. Such a kid she is. Well this definitely was not the first post I expected to be by her.
"Naughty girl. Meri izzzath ka falooda banaa dhiya madam aap ne" I said and she was still smiling. Well I could see her smiling like that forever...and the best part is I am the reason for that smile. That brought a smile on my face too.
And soon, that post was attacked by my fans and Friends
And amidst these, was the great Cabira's comment.
"Come on Manik! You can do it!! This is the reason I sent you there"
They must have forgotten that it's a public platform. Yeh dhonon kaa Kuch nai ho saktha.
Soon it was boarding time. The flight was full of Indians and thanks to the intense promotion by my friends, all the old Fab5 fans woke up again, an almost everyone could recognize me. As we were in the business class, people were pleasing the cabin crew to let them in to meet me. Now I couldn't allow everyone as it would disturb other passengers.
"Manik why don't we go there instead of they coming here" my intelligent girlfriend suggested.
"Not a bad idea" I said and we both got up and walked to the Economy class side. People were actually excited to see us and started storming questions,
"Why have you disappeared ? Why did you come back? What's that surprise you are going to give us? Are you back into music?"
I answered them diplomatically and now they were adamant to make me sing.
Come on! Singing in an air craft? Not happening and then I look at my girl's face and she has the same request. Now how can I say no to her. I didn't have my guitar too and when I said that I dunno from where, but I got one. No escape today I thought and started.
(Sorry thoda puraanaa gaana hain, but I dunno why I always wanted Manik to sing this..hope you're not mad at me for including such an old song)
In Dino, Dil Mera, Mujhse Hai Keh raha
Tu Khaab Saja, Tu Ji Le Zara
Hai Tujhe Bhi Izaazat, Karle Tu Bhi Mohabbat
In Dino, Dil Mera, Mujhse Hai Keh Raha
Tu Khaab Saja, Tu Ji Le Zara
Hai Tujhe Bhi Izaazat, Karle Tu Bhi Mohabbat
Well! That's so true.. These days it's all about love for me... Like I eat sleep and breathe love. And I don't find anything wrong in that. It gives such a nice feeling... Loving someone and being loved in return...
Usko Chhupaakar Main Sabse Kabhi Le Chaloon Kahin Door...
Aankhon Ke Pyaalon se Pita Rahoon Uski Chehre Ka Noor
Every moment I stay away from her, that's what I hear from my heart... Just to take her away and live in our little heaven she always keeps talking about, keep her infront of my eyes...love her for a life time.
Usko Chhupaakar Main Sabse Kabhi Le Chaloon Kahin Door...
Aankhon Ke Pyaalon se Pita Rahoon Uski Chehre Ka Noor
And to do that I should really escape from this external world, well I have a small world in own house, my friends !! Pehle unse toh chupaaloon...
Iss Zamaane Se Chhupkar...
Iss Zamaane Se Chhupkar...
Puri Karloon Main Hasrat..
In Dino, Dil Mera, Mujhse Hai Keh Raha
Tu Khaab Saja, Tu Ji Le Zara
Hai Tujhe Bhi Izaazat, Karle Tu Bhi Mohabbat
I ended the song and everyone were extremely happy. After a few photographs and autographs session, we went back to our seats.
"Tum sach Mein Rockstar ho" she said with a content smile on her face. She must have felt good that I behaved well.
"Thankyou ! Waise idea tumhaara tha, toh the real Rockstar is you!" I said.
"Ya! That's the duty of a shining star. Because I am one, I have to do that for you" she replied! Bull's eye!! What an answer.
After a smooth 2 hour flight, we reached Mumbai.
