"कोई एक शक्स तो यूं मिले,
कि वो मिले तो सुकून मिले!"

Even Fab 4 were also present their when doorbell rang and A servant Opened the door when a beautiful couple in their mid twenties entered in the Mansion and were asked to move in Living area. Entering the area they smiled looking at each other when the girl spoke..

Everyone looked at them And smiled when Mrunal smilingly stood up and hugged the girl followed by Arijit who also hugged The guy and spoke.
Arijit: Kaisa h Shivin tu? Or tu Ahemdabad se kab aaya?

Soon all youngsters met Them and the couple took blessings from the elders who blessed them happily when Manik spoke to Shivin:
Manik:(excitedly) Shivin Bhai aap meri list wala Sara Saman laye ho Naa??
(Shivin bhai, you bought all the things I mentioned in the list?)
Shivin:(chuckled) Yess Mann I Got everything you asked.
Manik grinned listening this while Nyonika nodded her head in disbelief at her son.
Nyo: Don't Tell me Manu that You asked Shivin too to shop for you from Ahemdabad and even gave the list too???
Manik smiled sheepishly at her making elders adore him and Nyo glared him.
Nyo:(exclaimed) For god sake you aren't a kid Manu!!
Maya:(defending Him) Arre Nyo Maa why are you scolding My Cute brother?
Mrunal: Haa Mumma, and for us atleast he is kid only!
Shivin: Exactly. And it's his right to ask things from us.
Arijit: Right Mumma and waise bhi it's not like that He has asked to shop for him it's Toh for his The One' naa, Right Mann???
(Right Mumma, and also it's not like that he asked anything for himself, it's for his The One only, Right Mann?)
Manik nodded with a big while All sighed in disbelief and Mrunal and Maya Go all awww on him while his gang though smiled but still rolled their eyes.
Cabir: Yaar Tu kitni shopping karega Apni 'The One' ke lie?? Itni agar mere lie ki hoti toh aab tak tujhse shadi kar Chuka hota.
(Yaar, how much you'll shop for your The One? If you would've shopped this for me, then I would've already married you!)
Everyone laughed at his statement while Manik Throw a cushion on him and glared him.
Manik: Shut-up Joker!
Abhi: But Manik seriously yaar tujhe toh award Dena chaiye jab bhi koi out of town jaye chahe Out od country Jaye tu unse kuch na kuch manga leta h Or jab teri The one aayegi tu usko sab de dega or bolega ki ye teri taraf se??? Ye toh dhoka hog naa?
(But Manik, seriously man, you should be awarded . Whenever anyone goes out of town or country, you ask them to bring gifts for your The One. And when you'll meet her, you will only gift her everything stating that it's from your side, This is cheating bruh!
Cabir: Haa yaar kya socha h Abhi! Aur Manik usko pata chala tu usko Dhoka de Raha h toh Wo toh tereko chod jayegi naa?
(Wow, Abhi what a thought! And Manik when she will get to know that you cheated on her, she will leave you bro!)
Manik: Jab bhi muh kholiyo bakwas hi boliyo tu! And who said I will tell her ki ye gifs meri taraf se h I will give her all those gifts from all of yours side naa.
(Whenever you open your mouth, you only speak shit)
Everyone chuckled at their non-sense bickering.
Dadu: Manu Beta When are your college starting?
Manik: From Tomorrow Dadu.
Manish: Haa toh iss session me Kitne chances h ki tujhe teri Mehbooba mil jayegi??
(Ok, so in this session what is the probability of you finding your Soulmate?
Manik:(whinned) Dad!!! Mom, Dadi see naa.
Dadi: Manish Mere rasmalai Ko tease nat karo tum.
(Manish don't tease my Rasmalai)
Manish: Kya Maa? Aapka ye Rasmalai mera bhi beta h haq banta h mera isko tang karne ka!
(What Mother? Your Rasmalai is my son too, it's my right to tease him!)
Dadi: Haq h, pura haq h, Lekin tang karne ka nahi pyaar karne ka.
(Yes you've complete rights, but not to tease, only love him!)
Manik was sitting between His dadi and mon and he hugged his dadi keeping his head on her shoulder and everyone smiled seeing this.
Soon all the elder Malhotra's moved to their room and even ShiYa (Shivin and Maya) too left though everyone insisted them to stay over here tonight but Shivin have some meetings tomorrow and he have to See the presentation n all so they left. Arijit and Mrunal too moved to their room as they were tired and now only Fab 4 were left who are gonna stay in the Mansion only tonight. So thinking to jam a little they moved to the Jam Room on the third floor which have Only Manik's room and a spare room + a Soundproof music room.
And soon Fab 5 got lost in their Musical World!

Ishita's apartment
In Nandini's room both Ishita and Anahita were playing when Nandini entered In the room and smiled seeing them. She moves towards them and sat on the bed.
Nandini:(pouts) This is very bad mere bina khela ja raha h?
(Playing without me?)
Anahita looked at her Mimi and giggled cutely at her drama before crawling towards her as she was sitting on the other side of the bed, and encircled her tiny hands around Nandini's neck.
Nandini:(patting her forehead with hers) My Kiddo! Ok tell Mimi, Did you finished your milk?
Anahita:(bobbing her head cutely)
Yepp Mimi!
Nandini:(Ruffling her hairs) So good! Okay, now you go and read your book, hmm?
And Anahita like a good girl nodded and went to her book getting fascinated with the pictures of animals. Nandini then looked at Ishita who was admiring the mother daughter bond, and Nandini too smiled at her.
Nandini: Ishi Maa you had your medicine naa?
Ishita:(nodding) Haa bache! You don't worry about me, tell me your preparation for the first day of college done?
Nandini passed a faint smile to her before nodding. Ishita sighed and caressed her head lovingly.
Ishita: Bache, I know this day is so special for ever person, the first day of college...
Nandini: (intruppting her) But for me it isn't Ishi Maa. For me, it's just another journey I've to go through, to secure my daughter's life.
Ishita: Don't be Harsh on yourself Nandu. We only gets one life, and college life? It is like the golden period of one's life. Enjoy it! Cherish it. Make new friends. Make your world a little big?
Nandini:(looking at Anahita) There's no need Ishi Maa. I am happy and content with my daughter, She is all I have, My Small World! And I don't even want to make it big. I am happy.
Ishita:(sighed) There is a difference between being Happy and being Joyful beta! There is difference between spending your life and living it.
Nandini:(sighed) I don't know why today you're speaking such things, Ishi Maa. Am fine, please!
And seeing the emotions in Nandini's eyes she knew that how much she is trying to cover her inner turmoil in her heart, which she have kept hidden since the time she bought her here. Sighing Ishita kissed her forehead and wishing Anahita a good night left the room.
When she left Nandini was looking at the way she left. She knew that Ishita is concerned for her and she wasn't wrong, but she also knows that She is also not wrong! For her, everything comes after her daughter's happiness, Even she Herself! She looked at her daughter who was teaching her Ola (teddy bear) the animals name and smiled. The genuine one, which only her daughter can make her. And she won't even regret sacrificing anything for Her, Just Her!
Just Her?
She came out of her trance listening Anahita's voice calling her.
Nandini:(raising her brows) Yes Shona?
Anahita:(cutely tilting her head at one side) Mimi, shong?
(Song?)
Nandini chuckled and patted her head making her smile innocently.
Nandini: What about we play your song after you finish your night routine?
Anahita:(giving a thumbs up) Doot Ieda!
(Good Idea)
And ran to the washroom making Nandini run behind her otherwise she will again wet herself, which she actually loves to do.
After finishing with her night routine, Nandini made Anahita lay down on bed and covered her with a quilt. She was very much aware of her daughter's gaze fixed on her in anticipation and sighing she looked at her and nodded making Anahita gift her a toothy grin.
Anahita:(to Alexa) Lexa, pay Yeh Doti, by Loktal, please!
(Alexa, play Yeh Dosti by Rockstar, please!)
Alexa:(in hindi) Maaf kijiyega mujhe kuch samjh nahi aaya.
(Am sorry, but I couldn't understand anything.)
Nandini giggled silently and Anahita glared at Alexa.
Anahita:(cribbing) Offo Mimi, Lexa not know anythint. She, budhu!
(Mimi, Alexa don't know anything, She Is Foolish)
Nandini:(pinching her nose) Should Mimi try?
Anahita nodded cutely and Nandini smiled.
Nandini: Alexa play Yeh Dosti, by Manik Malhotra.
Alexa: Playing Yeh Dosti, By Manik Malhotra.
And as soon as Anahita heard the tuning, she clapped her hand excitedly and looked at her mother who too smiled at her.
Anahita:(softly) Mimi, Loktal!
(Mimi, Rockstar)
Nandini nodded and patted her head and she too closed her eyes hearing her favourite voice.
Yar Milte Hai Pyar Milte Hai
Ham Ko Yarro Nasib Se,
Ek Duje Ki Adate Bante
Dil Ko Chute Karib Se
Har Hassi Be Aansu
Pe De De Jo Pehra
Ek Din Kyu Chale Hai
Jate Chod Ke Tanha
Yeh Dosti Milti Nasib Se
Yeh Dosti Milti Nasib Se
Yeh Dosti Milti Nasib Se
Yeh Dosti Najuk Hain Narm Hain
Yeh Dosti Yaaro Ka Karm Hain!
And by the time the song finished, both mother daughter were in a beautiful slumber, while listening to the soulful voice.
