Manik entered the auditorium with his all time attitude followed by nandini who looked kinda relieved which was a clear indication that she had managed to calm manik.
Manik*looking at fab 5*: guys lets just get over with this and Soha (narrows his eyes at her) I hope you remember my conditions
Soha*unwillingly*: yes now can we proceed
Manik: guys ready?
Fab 4: always!
Cabir: lets rock this!!
It was decided that first they will be posing for group pictures and then solos. All of their group pictures had crazy poses that clearly reflected their friendship, their bond afterall that's what fab 5 is known for, its friendship and that's exactly what they wanted to show in those pictures to the entire world and that's what they did.
Now was the turn for their solo shots. First was manik who as usual posed amazingly with his rockstar attitude, holding his guitar in one hand and that drool-worthy smirk on his face that could make anyone's heart skip a beat. Next was alia who rocked her single shots with her diva attitude. Every pic of hers was like a justification of why she was the style icon of the college over whom every boy ogled shamelessly. Then came dhruv who reflected the shy him, the real dhruv in every pose of his. His good boy nature was something that girls always found cute and dhruv made sure that his photos showcase it. Now it was the prankster Cabir's turn and trust me, his was the craziest, even the photographer enjoyed shooting with Cabir. His lame jokes and crazy poses were a perfect combo for fun and refreshment. Finally it was mukti's turn. Though she was the hot tom boy of space, the bold yet beautiful one and every guy's desire still cameras always made her conscious cuz when in front of the camera, all her comfort would fly away.
Photographer: mukti smile a little and feel free...you can do it
He tried to encourage her but that didn't work. Mukti nodded awkwardly and tried to free herself but couldn't.
Photographer: mukti a little more...feel free...ya?
Mukti was trying her best to feel comfortable and pose properly but she couldn't. Abhimanyu who was seeing this for a while now decided to distract mukti's attention. He looked around for a moment and found a fur stole mostly used by girls for a cat walk which he immediately wore around his neck and started posing funnily, standing in such a way that mukti could see him easily and that's what happened, as soon as mukti saw him she burst out laughing like there was no tomorrow. Confused, the others turned around to see what made mukti laugh so hard and saw abhimanyu and soon enough even they were laughing their ass off.
Like this they completed their photoshoot.
Photograph: so its a wrap up guys and I really enjoyed the shoot. Thanks for being so amazing
Manik: we enjoyed it equally...right guys?
Dhruv: ya usually I try to avoid these things but frankly speaking I enjoyed it today
Alia: ya it was really fun
Soha: sahil when will I get the pictures?
Photographer(Sahil): I will mail them to you by the end of the day and the developed copies will reach you by the end of this week
Nandini: um..sahil?
Sahil: yes?
Nandini: can you make another copy of the photos for me...you know like a memory of their first ever photoshoot
Sahil: sure, the copies will be in your hand by the end of this week
Nandini: thanks...just tell me how much I will have to pay for it
Sahil: oh come on...its fine I don't need you to pay for it
Nandini: are you sure
Sahil*smiles*: yup definitely!
Nandini: thanks once again
Sahil: no problem and if you have got any problem with the pictures then here's my card...you can call me anytime
Nandini nodded with a smile as sahil left bidding a bye to everyone.
Alia: nandini babe that was really thoughtful of you...thank you
Nandini: there is no need to thank me alia
Navya: rehne do alia...nandu na aisi hi hai, she never takes her part of the praises
Manik: ok ab stop it (side hugging nandini) lets go and eat...you have had nothing since morning
Cabir: and the boyfriend mode is on
Nandini blushed at his comment.
Manik: Cabir mujhe tease karne ki jagah navya ki thodi si care kar le...see she looks tired
Listening to him Cabir turned around to find navya sitting on one of the seats and pressing her head, eyes closed, she really did look tired.
Cabir: Oye madhubala...chal canteen I am hungry and tujhe bhi khila dunga kuch...chalo
Navya: are but cabir-
Cabir: no but vut
Saying this he dragged navya out with him without giving her a chance to protest.
Mukti: guys yeh toh gaya...let us also make a move? Even I am hungry
Abhi: sure...you need food. Khud ko dekha hai kitni patli ho agar kuch khaya nahi who knows kahi faint na ho jao so its better ki you eat something
Mukti*narrowing her eyes*: are you taunting me?
Abhi: no baby I am just worried for you...lets go
And soon all were off to the canteen, completely ignoring Soha's presence in the auditorium making her all red with anger but well, who cared.
College hours had come to an end now so the gang decided to hang out at Manik's place as nandini wanted to meet his parents too. Everyone agreed and drove to Manik's place in their cars.
Malhotra Mansion
Raj (Manik's dad) was busy watching news while Nyonika was calling him out from the kitchen since a long time to which he paid no heed that angered Nyonika and hence she marched out to the living area furiously and stood in front of the TV blocking his view.
Raj: are nyo side hato na...bohot important news aa rahi hai
Nyonika*furiously*: Mr. Raj Malhotra yeh news important hai but apki biwi jo kabse itna chilla chilla kar apko bula rahi hai that's not important right?
Raj: tumne mujhe kab bulaya?
Nyonika's mouth hung open by his reply and her jaw immediately clenched in anger the next moment.
Nyonika: Raj I am calling you or to be precise yelling your name from the kitchen since the past fifteen minutes and you are asking me when did I call you?!?
Raj: Nyo maine sachme nahi suna (making a puppy face) sorry na
Manik: now that's something interesting! Dad ab kya kiya apne?
Nyonika: manik I think ki tumhare dad na old hote ja rahe hai. I mean ki see na he couldn't listen to my shouts even after me calling him for fifteen minutes non stop
Manik: haww dad very bad (side hugging Nyonika) mom ko aise pareshaan nahi karte
Raj: Oye khotiya tu chup kar...mujhe sachme nahi sunai diya. Tujhe college se aake aur koi kaam nahi hai kya ki aate hi apni ma ke saath team banali
Nandini*back hugging Raj from his neck): are dad don't worry...apki princess hai na apki side
That's when Raj and Nyonika noticed the entire gang to be present there.
Nyonika: are baccho andar aao na
All nodded and settled on the sofas.
Raj: dekha sirf ek princess hi hai jo mujhe samjhti hai
He said showing his tongue to Nyonika who rolled her eyes at him.
Nyonika: toh kya hua...mera beta toh hai na mere saath. Kyu manik?
Manik: yes mom!
Abhi: nyo mom, Raj dad abhi ke liye apke jhagde ko pause kardo na please...no fights right now
Nyonika: are par aise kaise!?
Abhi: nyo ma please na am hungry too...mere liye mera voh favoutite wala milkshake bana do na
Nyonika: acha theek hai...(to raj) main aaj ke liye apko maaf kar deti hu but next time agar aisa kiya toh it won't be easy
Raj: ha theek hai na tab ka tab dekhlenge
Nyonika: acha manik tu inn sabko tere kamre me le ja...I will get you all some snacks there
Manik*pecking her cheek*: thanks mom...guys lets go
Everyone settled in Manik's room and started talking randomly, sometimes in groups or sometimes all together when aryaman's ringing phone paused their chatters.
While receiving the call, aryaman accidentally switched on the speaker letting everyone listen to the call unknowingly.
Phone Convo
Aryaman: hello? Whose this
He asked as the call was from an unknown number.
Caller: aryaman khurana?
Aryaman: yes speaking
Caller: you bloody jerk...aisa koi karta hai kya!? You just abandoned me and vanished somewhere!! How could you do that Mr. Aryaman Khanna!?!?
Aryaman: excuse aap jo koi bhi hai...I don't know you and ya gaali main bhi de sakta hu but main kuch bol nahi raha cuz you are a girl and i don't disrespect girls
Yes the caller was a girl!
Caller: acha you don't disrespect girls!? Such a lier you donkey! Piddi!
Aryaman: wait...what did you say? Piddi? Oh god! Aadi!!!
Aadi: finally you dumbo! Tu toh meri awaaz bhi bhul gaya idiot!

Aryaman: I am texting you the address...no more arguments!
Aadi: ok fine!
Aryaman: good girl! Come fast...I am dying to meet you now
Aadi: ha will be there...bye!
Aryaman: bye!
He cut the call and looked up to see some curious and some smirking faces of his friends and that's when he realised the phone was on speaker.
Navya: so arya mind telling us who she was?
Aryaman: she...um she is my childhood best friend you know like chuddy buddy
Maddy: but you never mentioned her bro
Aryaman: ha voh we haven't met since five years na so...
Nandini: ohkay...so when are we meeting her?
Aryaman: tomorrow in college?
Nandini: cool
Navya: hum toh bohot excited hai usse milne ke liye
She said eying aryaman who passed a nervous smile knowing what she was thinking.
Alia: guess...we will get a new member in our girl gang
Mukti: hmm...lets see
Hope you liked it.
Happy reading.
