Maddy: Finally Ms. Veena Vadini is here
Maddy said but his tone sounded unpleasant which made the others cringe in confusion.
Aryaman: Maddy kya baat hai bro?
Maddy: Arya now that the great Nandini Murthy is here so why don't you ask her only
He said narrowing his eyes at her.
Nandini*rolls eyes*: Oh hello attitude ki chalti firti dukaan stop giving me those looks ok, it was completely your fault
Maddy: My mistake? Are you even serious?
Nandini: Ofcourse its your mistake. You didn't want to listen to me so I had to do it
Maddy: Who do you think you are huh? You cannot just boss around me like that. I am Madhyam Singhania and Madhyam Singhania doesn't take any orders get that!?
Nandini: Main bhi Nandini Murthy hu and you should know ki Nandini Murthy has always gotten whatever she has wanted and if she doesn't get it then she has her own ways
Maddy: whatever
Their batter continued as the rest gaped at them confused.
Cabir: guys what's all this tashan about?
Alia: did you two fight or something?
Nandini: you better ask that to him Alia
Maddy: Excuse me Ms. Murthy why should I answer her? You started it so now you answer them
Manik: O...kay. Nandu tum mujhe batao what's wrong?
Manik asked her softly pulling her close and holding her hand in his.
Nandini: Manik this Madhyam na is a jerk. He has so much attitude! .
She exclaimed angrily and Manik was taken aback since this was the first time Nandini was behaving like this in case of Maddy.
Maddy: Attitude? I have attitude? Have you ever seen yourself Veena Vadini? Always giving those stupid lectures so that you can manipulate people and get your way through!
Manik: Maddy mind your tongue
Manik said calmly yet sternly, not liking his choice of words for Nandini.
Maddy: ofcourse tum toh mujhe hi bologe na sine she is your girlfriend
Manik: nahi its not that-
Maddy: No Manik let it be, you don't need to explain
Navya: Maddy hume batao ki kya hua hai
Maddy: Navya this girl right here (points at Nandini) thinks that I don't play good music...that I am not capable alone
Nandini: ha toh Navya tum hi batao ki isme galat kya hai. He was playing the wrong chords time and again and jab I tried correcting him he gave me attitude toh maine bhi sach bol diya
Abhimanyu: Nandu tu janti hai na how he is toh fir-
But she cut him mid-sentence.
Nandini: Bhai aap bhi iski side le rahe ho? Manik you understand me right? You know na that I wasn't wrong
Manik: Maddy Nandini was just correcting you na as a good friend does. She was just a little rude to you but understand her na and stop stretching it too much
Manik took her side and Nandini smirked at Maddy.
Maddy: I am stretching it? Dude I am 1 MB, One Man Band. I used to play all the instruments single handedly and create awesome music and she thinks I am not capable
Everyone was exasperated by now since neither Nandini nor Maddy were ready to back off.
Aryaman: Adi tu bhi Maddy ko pehle se janti hai na yaar toh tu use samjha na
Aryaman asked her when he found her busy eating her fries and conveniently ignoring the cold war going on between Maddy and Nandini.
Aditi: Arya I am not wasting my energy on these two when I know they are not even serious
Mukti: what do you mean?
Aditi: Maddy batadu?
Maddy: Aditi yaar how do you do this all the time?
He whined like a baby which made her laugh.
Aditi: perks of being friends with the Madhyam Singhania for so long
She smirked and looked at Manik who had been observing Nandini keenly and then shared a look with Aditi and mirrored her smirk.
Manik: I know exactly what you mean...nai Nandini?
Manik said encircling his arm around Nandini's shoulder, quirking his eyebrow and Nandini passed him a nervous smile.
Nandini: you caught me?
Nandini asked cutely and Manik nodded his head at her, going all aww at his baby.
Dhruv: guys koi bataega what's happening?
Aditi: Dhruv they weren't really fighting, it was just a prank
Aditi explained and the rest just gaped at Nandini and Maddy who stood there smiling sheepishly.
Cabir: Prank? Seriously?
Alia: ya why would you guys play such a prank on us?
Nandini: actually nowadays life wasn't so interesting for us...
Maddy: and we were getting bored so...
Nandini: so we decided to play a chotu prank on you guys
They completed sheepishly, earning a glare from others.
Navya: you know you both scared us so much
Aryaman: Exactly! We have seen you guys fighting and being after each other's neck
Abhimanyu: yup and then being best of friends and so important to each other
Navya: so this little prank of yours really scared us because we knew once you both would cool down how guilty you would be
Maddy/Nandini: sorry guys
Abhimanyu: its ok
He smiled followed by the others making them sigh in relief.
Alia: by the way Aditi how were you so sure that they were pranking us?
Aryaman: ha even I want to know
Aditi: voh actually back then in school Maddy aisa bohot baar kar chuka so I kinda knew it from the way he was behaving so it was easy for me to guess
Maddy: Its nothing new guys. Yeh ladki school me bhi aur ab bhi mere pranks samajh jaati hai and that's why it is difficult to prank her
He said smacking Aditi's head who glared at him.
Aryaman: yeah I know she is a smartass
Nandini: by the way guys Musicana registrations start from next week toh kuch socha hai?
Manik: ha guys we need to geer up kyuki this time we have competition
He said looking at Nandini who smirked.
Aryaman: yup its gonna be fun....yaari (Nandini, Abhimanyu, Navya, Aryaman and Maddy) vs fab 5
Nandini: guys I have one more news to share
Mukti: what?
Nandini: voh Panditji is going to conduct auditions tomorrow because he is planning for a fusion performace in Musicana so if things work out I'll have a partner to sing with that day and won't be performing solo for my classical song
Manik: interesting
He smirked and seeing the smirk on his face, everybody knew Manik won't let someone else sing with Nandini other than him.
Happy reading.
