HAPPY READING...
So finally the awaited surprise has come..!
The day after shopping :
Mukthi nandu and manik were in the garden jogging with dadu. Meanwhile in house
"morning ladies.. morning Kishore.." raj wished nyonika ,DJ and shalini who replies the same with a smile.
"toh kal ki tayyariyan kaisae chal rahi hai..?" he asked looking at them who were super cool sipping their morning coffee.
"bas amma shanno murthy ji rishu aur priya ka aana baki hai.." shalini replied
"aur humhari taraf sae zyada log nahi aayangae bas hum aur bacchae.. zyada shor sharaba ki zaroorath nahi hai.." dj said looking at raj who nodded approvingly.
"pata nahi manik aur nandu kaisae react karangae.." nyonika put forth her worries
"bacchae hai.. unhae kya pata .. kya sahi hai aur kya galath.. aur toh aur yae baath tabhi pakki ho gayi thi jab nandu paida hui thi.." dj said reminding them of their words when nandini was born.
"mujhae meri nandu pae pura bharosa hai... vo samajh jayaegi.." raj said proudly
"manik koi kam nahi hai.. vo bhi bahuth samajhdaar hai.." Kishore added in the same tone and after looking at each other they started laughing.
Same time the trio followed by dadu entered the house and saw them laughing over something and dadu asked "humhae bhi toh batao.. hum bhi thoda has langae.." and sat beside dj who immediately frowned looking at him
"yae kya kar rahae hai aap.. pehalae jayiyae.. fresh hokar aao.. phir gappae.." she said angrily and the juniors giggled looking at their strict dadu getting scolded by his wifie.
"huh..! aakae dekhunga tum logo ko.." he said and got up and looked at manan and mukthi giggling and said "tum logon ko alag sae bolu kya.. chalo jao aapnae room mai.. quick..!" he said maintaining his strict voice ant the trio ran upstairs.
After 30minutes everyone was on the breakfast table. Along with breakfast as agreed earlier the kids were served milk and they were having tough time to drink it.
"daduu.." nandini called him ever so sweetly and he looked at her and asked what by raising his eyebrows and nandu continued pointing at the glass "yae jo mlk hai na.. im.. yes im allergic to it.. toh mai nahi pee sakthi na.." she said sadly
(Manik's pov :
Omg.. itni acchi acting.. esae toh actor ban jana chaiyae tha.. doctor ban rahi hai.. agar mai dadu kae place mai hota toh.. jhae sae ek kissy dakae boltha ki "betha nahi peena ha toh mat piyo..".. nai nahi manik kya soch raha hai.. yae aaisae hi cute faces bana kar apni saari batein manwa lethi hai.. hum sab phas jatae hai aur yae madam bach jaati hai.. kuch soch.. itni aasani sae tu usae janae nahi dae saktha.. kal jo hua uskae baad toh bilkul bhi nai.. eureka...!! Got an idea..)

"lekin nandini.. as far as I know.. u r not allergic to milk.. agar allergy hothi toh jab tum collage mai cold coffee pee rahi thi tab toh tumhae kuch nahi hua.. kyun mukthi..?" manik dragged mukthi along and mukthi who was dug in the thoughts of "how to get this glass empty" suddenly came out of her thoughts and said "kya..? kaha.. kab..?" to which manik replied "arae uss din yaad hai.. she was enjoying her cold coffee.. she was alright na..?" he tried to remind her and as she wasn't attentive towards previous conversation nodded a YES and nandini slapped her forehead
"nanduu... jhut bolna galath hai..." manik smiled at his victory as it was everyone's darling nandini's "pol-khol" and she glared at manik for spoiling her plan and he winked at her irritating her to the core.
"nandu.. not even a single word more.. finish this.. all of u.. and leave for collage.. are nt u ppl getting late..?"dadu ordered strictly and manik was the first one to empty his glass who drank it by closing his nose followed by mukthi who followed her brother and last was nandini. They made faces which dadu ignored as if nothing happened and others were trying hadr not to laugh looking at them. Nandini immediately ran into the kitchen to get something for her to get rid of that taste in her mouth and came out with a big bar of chocolate broke it into half and gave the other half to mukthi and they ate it as if they were starving from ages finally let out a sigh for getting that taste out of their mouth's and manik gave them an irritating look for not sharing the choco with him and said
"mai dikhai nai dae raha tum logon ko.." he said angrily to which mukthi replied licking her fingers "bhai.. chocolate first baki puri duniya baadmae.." and winked at him. Nandini ignored him and said looking at mukthi "chal golu.. we r getting late.." and moved to her room to get her bag followed by mukthi and a totally irritated manik.
"in dono ka kya hoga.." dj said keeping her hand on her forehead
"chill..dj.. why to fear when dadu is here" dadu boasted himself and she gave him a weak smile
"mummy ji.. bacchae hai.. bas aaisae hi Mazak mai ladtae rehatae hai.. aap pareshan na ho.." shalini assured her... and nyonika seconded her saying " ji.. mom.. bacchae hai.. chodiyae na aap yae coffee pijiyae.." and handed her a cup of hot strong coffee.

"mai tumhara driver nahi hun.. sit in the front.." manik said angrily seeing mukthi and nandu settling themselves on the backseat.
"lekin hum log rozaaisae hi jatae hai na.. aaj aapko kya problem ho gayi hai.." mukthi said in an equally irritated tone (lady manik she was )
"im not going to drive today.. jao jaisae jana ho vaisae.." he said and came out and stood outside in the parking. Nandini had enough today she stormed out of the car sat in the drivers seat threw manik's bag to him who was standing just beside and said
"mukthi do u have any problem if I drive.." she said and mukthi nodded a NO. nandini ignited the engine and without waiting for manik she started the car and drove away. Manik was standing there with his mouth opened in a perfect O and after coming out of trance called his driver to bring another car for him.

In collage :
Nandini entered the class making a grumpy face cursing manik under her breath "huh.. stupid..! idiot..!gadha..! kya samajha tha hai apnae aap ko..?? kat kae biryani bana dungi aur khud kha lungi..!! chi..!! nai nai.. mujhae toh chicken biryani pasand hai.. mai uss motu ki biryani kyun khau..? aghh..! ab biryani kyun aa gayi beech mae..! mai usae..ahhh...! nandu.. calm down.. stop thinking about that stupid..! yes..nandini murthy calm down..!
She took few deep breaths and sat beside navya and soha who were looking at her with confused expressions.
"kya hua.." navya asked curiously and before nandini could reply professor entered the class and the class continued for 1.5 hours and finally like finally nandini's mind diverted and she forgot morning's incident. As usual the trio left for canteen to have something and to manik's bad luck he was present there and wasn't aware of nandini's presence and was discussing something with dhruv regarding their classes and cabir was least interested in their discussion and was focusing on his food. Overwhelmed by cabir's gift navya jumped to his table excitedly and said "thank u cabir jii.." and flashed her 32 teeth and cabir chocked his juice which he was drinking and lifted his head to look at navya and nodded his head in a no signalling her not to speak further poor soul didn't understand his indication and said "arae bhul gayae hum aapkae gift kae liyae thank u bol rahae hai.." making cabir slapping his forehead and manruv along with aliya and mukhbi got curious and cabir just wanted to run away from there.
"kaun sa gift..?" manik was just waiting for a chance to get back to cabir.
"arae... kitna pyara dress tha.. aapko pata hai.. hayee.. humhae kitnaaa pasand aa gaya.." navya spoke dreamily.
"Ahem ahem" aliya cleared her throat to bring navya out of her trance and was quite successful and navya smiled sheepishly.
"cabir.. u want to say something..?" manik asked with a smirk looking at cabir whose face went pale on navya's revealition and he nodded a NO looking at manik who had a victorious smile on his face.
"navya will u show me your dress pleaseee..." mukthi asked ever so sweetly and navya nodded approvingly and before navya could drop both of them in more trouble cabir dragged navya along and all burst out laughing but the frowns from nandini's face weren't fading but growing with each passing second and she angrily sat beside manik and stomped his foot hard and looked the other side as if nothing happened and manik winced in pain
"ouch.. u stupid panda.. I think mera fingers ka fracture ho gaya hoga.." and gave a glare to nandini who was least interested in his expressions.. why would she.. her frustration was out and finally she was in peace enjoying his cries and paid deaf ear to all his words.. but the word "panda" irked her and she was about to give another hard kick but this time manik immediately dragged his feet back and held her hand tightly and asked in a hell annoyed tone "tumhari problem kya hai haan..? kyun marae jaan kae pechae padi ho..?? already merae ek pair ka halaath kharab kar diya hai.. ab aur kya chaiyae..?" she also gave an angry look and said "already kaddu jaisae motae ho.. aur kya hona hai tujhae.. huh..!! motu kaddu sadu kahika..!" and got up to leave when he grabbed her arm and sit her in the same place and said "you... noisy laddu panda.. har wakth chapar chapar karthi rehathi hai.. kahan sae aati hai itni takath tujhmae.. dekhnae mai to bilkul chuhae jaisi hai.." he said in an irritated tone.. he had enough from morning now no more.
"bhai.. nandu.. stop it yaar.. subah sae u r fighting.. now no more.. chalo ab say sorry to each other and b friends again.. chalo.." mukthi jumped in between as now it was needed as the two stubborn heads were not ready to end the fight so easily. Both turned their heads in the opposite directions and said "bilkul nahi.." and others sighed helplessly. Finally all left leaving them alone and after some time of more silence manik spoke
"ok.. fine sorry.." he said as someone had to start.
"apology not accepted.." she replied void of any expression and manik's face was worth watching.
"oh hello bhav math kha..laddu kahiki.." his voice had a tinge of sarcasm again frowns on both sides.
"motuuu..!!!" nandini was irritated so was manik and both of them got up and left to their classes.
