Fab5 were on their way to  Phoenix Marketcity which  is the largest shopping mall in India, situated in Kurla, Mumbai.

They all were dressed so perfectly that it screamed from their appearances they were super rich lad with all branded clothes

Manik was looking dapper in a black t-shirt and grey jacket with black ripped jeans . H e was looking hot and definitely no one could have not stopped to get a look of him

On their way to the mall all of them were silent , Manik was busy thinking about how he could meet Nandini and wondering when he could befriend her , by now he knew that he liked her but he did not want to jump in and decided to take things slow he wanted Nandini to explore and remove all the sadness in her life , he wanted to paint her life with all bright colours signifying happiness.

Cabir was busy researching about Nandini because he was very protective about Manik and did not want him to fall for a wrong girl . He was behaving like an over protective brother doing background check on her, but he was shocked with he could not find her on social media. Come on for Lord's Sake which millennial would not be on social media, it is a must for one to have social media . So he got to the end even before starting and now he was very interested to know about her

Mukti was busy in her own world thinking how every thing had changed there was a time where people used to misjudge her introvert nature and corner her but now she had such wonderful friends as in a family who acceptd who she is and love her alot

Alia could not stop herself from mentally making a list of which brands she should visit first and what all she could buy . She was mentally ready to buy all her favourite stuff and new dresses cause Alia does not like to repeat clothes

Dhruv on the other side was busy thinking what should he do to stop his baby today because Alia and shopping are a big trouble for Dhruv , he was imagining himself to be loaded up with bags by the end of the shopping spree 

Within 20 minutes they reached the mall as they entered together with there attitude all people's eyes went towards the superb looking Fab5 . They started moving towards the shops and seeing Alia's excitement they knew that it was going to be a long day . 

After 1 hour of shopping the look on the boy's face were hilarious even a child could tell that they had enough and just wanted to run off from the mall

After looking at the poor condition of the boys Mukti decided to split

Mukti: Alia babes I think we should split and shop , you and dhruv go and shop till then me , Manik and Cabir will look around and after your shopping gets over we willl meet at the food court 

But how can Cabir let Manik go free so easily , it was because of him that they had to come to shopping which he loathed so he played his game

Cabir: Why Manik should come with us ? Alia it was his punishment so you guys take him along with you , it may even help Dhruv in lifting the bags

Alia: Ya Manik you come with me 

With that Alia  started shopping whereas Manik was trailing behind mostly looking at his mobile , he was mentally murdering Cabir who along with Mukti were enjoying their freedom and he had to follow Alia , he today was mentally sympathizing with Dhruv who every week comes to shopping with Alia  

After 20 minutes he had enough he made an excuse and left towards starbucks [  Starbucks Corporation is an American multinational chain of coffeehouses and roastery reserves it is  the largest coffeehouse in the world, ]

He had enough of this shopping spree and decided to have coffee and what else could have been better than his favourite Iced white chocolate Mocha[ it is my favourite too]

While drinking his Mocha he came across a face whom he least expected to see but definitely wanted to see, he spotted Nandini in a book store a place which Manik prefers to stay miles away from . He never liked to have bookstores in Malls as he thought malls were places of fun and books meant no fun but for the first time he was happy that malls have bookstores. He walked towards the bookstore and there he was just a few steps away from Nandini but before he could reach out to her he was stopped by the salesperson who did not allow him to enter with his coffee as outside food was prohibited , if it would be any other day Manik would definitely have fought with him for his coffee but it seems meeting Nandini was more important to him 

With a very heavy heart he threw his coffee , he felt miserable to throw the less than half filled coffee glass into the dustbin, he wondered what all this like would make him do because coffee is bae but for Nandini he had to depart from his coffee

................................................................................................................................................................

Nandini had dressed up casually in a cute pink crop top and white bottom , she had no make up except for kajal , she wore certain bracelet in her hand as she never left her hands empty , she looked too cute with her hair open she never did over dressing up . She looked adorable and perfect.

She wanted to go \ to the mall as she desperately needed a new book and certain things because being a bookworm she needed books always , she loved reading it exposed her to different situations rather than talking to people she preferred being at home with pizza and a book . For her the perfect chill zone was having food in pajamas reading an amazing books , she loved books which were thriller sci-fi or self help she did not like romantic books and felt they were over rated 

She first went the home shop to get things but felt suffocated apparently there was some discount scheme going on and the shop was filled with Aunties and so many people who were assembled as if all the items were for free, she hated crowds 

She could not stop but hear some Aunties bad mouthing her dressing sense as according to them she was shameless as certain area of stomach could be seen . She hated judging people according to their dressing sense , she was a free citizen and could wear whatever she wanted but no no no it is perfectly fine that a woman wearing a saree can have a huge gap between the blouse and the saree but a girl wearing crop top can not . She could not bear the crowd and so she left for browsing the books

After 25 minutes of browsing she could feel her nerves calm a bit as she had got her desired books . She was walking towards the counter and boom there she collided with someone , she somehow managed to balance herself and wanted to let go off it as she did not want any drama  but after seeing the person she definitely felt irritated

Both: YOU 

Nandini: Tell me seriously are you stalking me , first the party then the flight and now the mall . Have you installed a freaking tracker on me and get up from the floor

[For all those who have not got it Nandini and Manik clashed with each other and Manik fell on the ground ]

Manik: Why are you freaking out and no baby I am not stalking you . I think destiny wants us to meet you know we might have some special connection and give me your hand I want to get up 

Nandini rolled her eyes and faking a smile said : It is no Bollywood movie going on you will fall I will give you my hand and you will pull me down and then we will have an eye lock what bullshit , if you want to get up then do it on your own and do not follow me

With that Nandini walked away and Manik was there sitting on the floor shocked thinking what was she , she always left his tongue tied 

A sales girl came towards her battling her eyelashes saying : Do you need my help Sir ?

Manik got up and ignoring the flirting smile of the sales girl he rushed to see Nandini

Manik: Oh how could you leave me like there , do you even know that I have sacrificed my Iced white chocolate mocha for you and you toh do not talk to me only 

Nandini: Are  you some big breaking news that you need attention and about the sacrifice what a huge sacrifice you have done for me you sacrificed  coffee but  I did not tell you do so [ she mocked him by stressing the word coffee indicating as if it was something really big]

Manik: I definitely am not news and I already have lots of attention but definitely you are a camera because every time I see you I begin smiling

Nandini: AHHH please stop your flirting or you definitely will get one from me

Manik was about to reply but he received a call from Dhruv saying that all of them were waiting for him at the food court , till the time he finished the call Nandni had left so having no option Manik also left towards the food court thanking that finally the shopping spree had come to an end 

XOXO
