Hello Fam. Please do read the note below. People who have read this already in the other book can ignore. :P
There are some issues which I can't control. I know you want to read the updates asap but I am as helpless as you. Unfortunately, I have some construction work going on at my place because of which there were some power issues. The current was fluctuating throughout the day and power cuts or voltage drops at night. I am hardly able to charge my devices.
It's not like I am disappearing for weeks or months together. If at all I am on a break or something, I always inform before leaving. And even after informing you the issue, if you can't wait for the updates, then I am sorry. I really can't control the weather or current department or the networks. People who can't understand this, please do remove the book. I would inform you once the book is completed. You can read all the chapters at once without waiting for anyone or anything.
I am sorry if you feel I am sounding rude but there are few who are making me feel guilty. There are some who are literally 'ordering' for an update and few more who think I am irresponsible. (No one told this directly but their words indicate the same). Writing is my stress buster so I won't quit it. I hope you understand me. :)
Thank You
And to everyone who understand me and are being patient with me, thanks a lot. I really feel blessed to have you guys around. :)
Happy Reading...
Everyone(except Navya, Alya) went to a restaurant where they were supposed to meet the guy.
Outside the restaurant
Cabir(puzzled): Nandu, how will we identify him? We don't even know his name.
Nandu(casually): Arey his father wanted us to give privacy. Isliye he booked the whole restaurant. He will be the only guy present there.
They find the guy talking over a call.
Nandu(warned): Sab apne apne roles yaad rakho. Manik, come with me.
Manik and Nandu walk inside entwining their hands.
Nandu(pleasantly): Hey hi. This is Nandini Murthy.
G(timidly): Namaste ji.
Nandu(bewildered): Aapka naam?
G(looking down): Mummy ji ne bola, strangers ko apna naam mat batana.
Nandu(questioned confusedly): Are you not the guy who came to meet me?
G(frowning): Lekin jab tak rishta pakka nahi hota, aap mere liye stranger hi ho.
Nandu(controlling her anger): toh aaye kisliye?
G(nervously): Papa ji ne bola, rishta almost pakka hai.
Nandu(sarcastically): Tab tak main kya tumhe X bulau?
G(smiled): X toh break up ke baad hota hai na? Aap mujhe Y bula sakte ho.
Nandu(pissed): Fine.
Y(puzzled)): Aap akele aane wali thi na. Aapke saath yeh ladka kaun hai?
Nandu(smiling widely): Oh sorry. I forgot to introduce. Meet Manik. My boyfriend.
Y(frowned): Lekin papa ji ne bola sirf aap hi se milna hai. Kya ye bahar wait kar sakte hai?
Nandu(staring into Manik's eyes): Woh actually kya hai na, Manik loves me a lot. Woh mera saath aur mera haath kabhi nahi chodta.
Y(surprised): Raat mein bhi apne ghar nahi jata kya?
Nandu(declared): Nahi, woh raat mein bhi mere hi saath sota hai.
They sit down. Giving them a weird look, he hands over a bunch of documents to Nandini.
Nandu(confused): What are these?
Y(meekly): Papa ji ne bola jaise hi aap aaoge toh sare documents aapke haath de dun.
Nandu and Manik check them and finds it to be the duplicate copies of all their properties. They glance at each other. When a guy comes and hugs Nandini.
Nandu(surprised): What a pleasant surprise. How are you?
Guy(stretching his hands widely): I am fine, Nandu. I missed you a lot. Tere bina pagal ho jata hun main.
Y(questioned): Yeh kaun hai?
Nandu(smiled): He is Cabir. My ex-boyfriend.
Y(widening his eyes): Aapka ex-boyfriend bhi hai?
Nandu(ready to pounce on him): Do you have a problem?
Y(afraid): Nahi.
Cabir(winked): Ok, Nandini. I have some work. Mujhe meri girlfriend se milne jana hai. We will catch up later. Maybe on a weekend. Let's party.
Nandu(laughed off): done. Just text me the details. Bye Cabir.
Y(shocked): Aap drink bhi karti hai?
Nandu(teased): Of course. That's so cool. Kyun tum nahi karte?
Y(horrified): Nahi. Mummy ji ne mana kiya hai.
He was about to say something when another guy comes and hugs Nandu.
Y(perplexed): Ye kaun hai ab?
Nandu(informed): Dhruv. Oher ex. of mine.
Y(baffled): Lakin woh pehle wala?
Nandu(impatiently): Offo. Kitne questions puchte ho tum. Cabir is my 17th ex-boyfriend. And Dhruv is my 20th.
Dhruv(shyly): 21st Nandu.
Nandu(pulling his cheeks): Aww sweet Dhruv. 20 aur 21st mein kitna farq hai.
Dhruv(pouted): lekin ek number se insaan badal jate hai na Nandu.
Nandu(admiring): you are right. As always, Dhruv.
Dhruv(blushed): Chalo Nandu mein chalta hun. My boyfriend is waiting outside.
Nandu(slapping his hand lightly): Boyfriend? Tumne mujhe bataya kyu nahi, you naughty boy. Who is he?
Dhruv: He is Aryaman. (And points towards Aryaman, who was standing outside.) He is a bit shy. Isliye nahi milaya tumse. Bye Nandu.
Nandu(waving her hand): Bye Dhruv. Say hi to Aryaman too.
After Dhruv leaves,
Y(muddled): Inke girlfriend ki jagah boyfriend kaise?
Nandu(in a duh tone): Kyu? What's the problem with that? Ab toh India main bhi legal hai.
This time a girl barges into the restaurant. Looking at her furious face, Y gets scared. She bangs her fist on the table and shouts.
Girl(shouts): Sharam nahi aati tumhe?
Nandu(calmly): Mukti, we can sit and talk. What happened?
Mukti(yelled): Tumne mere pyar ko chod diya lekin tumhare pyar ne use choda nahi hai.
Y(sympathetically): Such a confusing life.
Mukti(glared): Meri life tujhe ek confusing puzzle lag raha hai kya?
Y(stammered): Mera woh matlab nahi tha.
Mukti(pouncing on him): jhoot mat bol. Tu wahi soch raha tha.
Y(confused): Main kya soch raha hun yeh aapko kaise pata.
'BABYDOLL'
They turn and see Abhimanyu coming running in slow motion. He hugged Nandu. Mukti forcefully breaks their hug.
Mukti(frustrated): Dekha. Iski girlfriend main aur yeh tera naam japta rehta hai. Babydoll. Babydoll. Babydoll.
Nandu(scolds): What's this Abhimanyu? I told you right, it's over between us.
Abhi(pouts): Kya karu babydoll. Main tujhse itna pyar karta hun, itna pyar karta hun ki bhula nahi pata tujhe.
Mukti(warned): Mr. Abhimanyu, this is the last time I am telling you. Agar tum ye babydoll ka jap karna bandh nahi kiya toh main..toh main ise punch mar dungi.
She holds Y by his collar.
Abhi(coolly): Maar lo. Mujhe kya farak padta hai
Y(stuttered): Please aap aise baat mat kijiye. Aap dono ke jhagde ke beech mujhe kyu punch maroge.
Mukti(screamed): Kyunki mujhe teri shakal pasand nahi aayi.
Nandu(softly): Mukti, he loves you a lot. (fake angrily) Abhimanyu bol do Mukti ko, varna main tumse kabhi baat nahi karungi. I will be katti with you.
Abhi(expressionless): Ok. I love you a lot, Mukti.
Nandu(happily): How sweet.
Abhi(adoring Nandini): Anything for you babydoll.
Y(surprised): Matlab aapne inke liye bola ya apni girlfriend ke liye?
Mukti(fumed): Tujhe punch khana hai?
Y(scaredly): Nahi. You are the dream couple.
Mukti leaves dragging Abhimanyu with her.
Y(inquired): Yeh aapke kaun se number ka boyfriend hai?
Nandu(coolly): Yaad nahi hai. Usi se puch lete thodi der pehle. Late kardiya.
Y(bewildered): Aapke itne..
Nandu(cutting him off): Wait, let me order a pizza to eat. I am starving.
They give their order. After which Nandu starts talking without giving any chance to Y to speak.
Nandu(proudly): Actually tumhe pata hai, I love pizza more than my 99th boyfriend.
Y(terrified): 99th?
Nandu: Haan.
Manik blushed seeing Nandu but glared Y.
Y(confused): why is he glaring me?
Nandu(sarcastically): Uski girlfriend se tum shadi karne aaye ho. Glare nahi toh, puja karke aarti utare ga kya?
Y(unclear): Oh. Lekin aap ke itne sare boyfriend kaise hai?
Manik(casually): Actually my baby, I mean Nandu apna ek rule follow karti hai. Woh apne 17th boyfriend ko 17 days ke baad chod deti hai. And 22nd boyfriend ko 22 days ke baad.
Y(confused): Phir aap inke saath ab tak kaise ho.
Manik blushed hardly seeing which Nandu pulled his cheeks.
Nandu(emotionally): See how cute my baby looks while blushing. Actually Y, Manik is my 100th boyfriend. And I love him more than my pizza.
Manik(puzzled): Baby tum mujhe apne pizza se jyada pyar karti ho. Tumne mujhe kabhi bataya nahi?
Nandu(pouted): Baby, main tumhare saath hamesha apna pizza share karti hun. Toh iska matlab ye hua na, I love you more than my pizza.
Manik(dramatically): I am so lucky to have you, baby.
Nandu(playing along): No baby. It's me who is lucky to have you.
She hugs him tightly. They break their hug due to the sound of clearing of the throat.
Y(bewildered): Aap shadi ke baad...
Nandu(seriously): Are you mad, Y? Shadi zindagi ka ek naya mod hota hai. Sab shadi ke baad ek new life start karte hai.
Y(hopefully): Toh aap shadi ke baad apna yeh rule chodoge.
Nandu(informed): Y, you will be my first husband. Isliye main tumhe ek din ke baad chod kar bhag jayungi. I don't go against my rules.
Manik starts crying.
Nandu(panicked): Haww baby. Tum ro kyu rahe ho? You know na, I hate tears in your eyes.
Manik(wailed): Tum mujhe 100 days ke baad chod kar chali jayogi na. Main tumhare bina nahi reh sakta.
Nandu(wiping off his tears): baby, main bhi tumhare bina nahi reh sakti. Hum na ek kaam karte hai. 100 days complete hone ke baad, main tumse break up kar lungi. Phir tum next day mujhse milna. We will act like strangers and fall in love once again. Tab tum mere 101st boyfriend ban jayoge.
Manik(clapping his hands): Yippee. Baby tum mujhse bahut pyaar karti ho na.
Nandu(raising an eyebrow): Of course baby. Tumhe koi shak hai?
Manik(blushed): Not in my entire lifetime baby.
Y(baffled): Phir mera kya?
Nandu(glared): Y, do log jab baat karte hai, toh beech mein nahi bolte.
Y(impatiently): See mujhe papa ji ne bola tha aapse yeh baat karne ki...
Manik(cutting him off): Baby tumhare pizza mein extra cheese hai?
Y(complained): Dekho woh do logo ke beech baat kar raha hai.
Nandu(sternly): Y, pyaar mein ye sab chalta hai. (cupping Manik's cheek) Aur baby, extra cheese tum kha lo. Mujhe tumhara pyar hi kaafi hai.
Y(stood up abruptly): Enough. Main ja raha hun.
Nandu(innocently): Kahan Y? Main tumhe pasand nahi aayi?
Y(gritting his teeth): Mere flight ka time ho raha hai.
Nandu(amused): Lekin tumhari flight toh raat ko thi na?
Y(scared): Flight prepone ho gaya. Bye.
He runs off making Manik and Nandu burst out laughing. Soon others join them.
The drunk chapter next. Who's excited? And who is drunk? :P
