Hello People.

Happy Reading...

Aryaman accompanies Manik as he has some work outside. They decide to drop him and pick him up while on their way to the airport. After dropping their parents off, they move out to their car.

Inside the car.

Manik(softly): Nandu, meri baat sun.

Nandu(crossing her arms): Nahi.

Manik(helplessly): Nandu, tu janti hai maine aise kyun bola.

Nandu(glared): Nahi jaanti. And we are at war. I am not talking to you.

Manik(scowled): Fine. I am not even dying to talk to you.

He hits the steering in frustration when he gets a call from Cabir.

Manik(snapped): What?

Cabir(casually): we all are at Abhi's place. Tum log bhi aa jao.

Manik(annoyed): Fine.

After picking up Aryaman, he moves towards Abhi's place. When Nandu notices that they are not on their way home, she asks Manik.

Nandu(puzzled): Hum kahan ja rahe hai?

Manik(sarcastically): Remember we are at 'war'. We aren't talking.

Nandu glares him and turns towards Aryaman.

Nandu: Arya, ask him, where are we going?

Manik: Arya, tell this curious cat, I am not telling her.

Nandu(bewildered): Did you just call me a cat?

Manik(sarcastically): Oh yes, Schrodinger.

Nandu(warned): Arya, ise bolo main is car se kudh jayungi.

Manik: Arya, tell her maine child lock dala hai. She can't move out.

Nandu(shocked): Arya, Main ise bachi dikh rahi hun? I am not a kid.

Manik(supressing his urge to laugh): Arya, pagal insaan bhi kabhi khud ko pagal nahi bolte.

Nandu(frowned): Arya, did he just call me 'pagal'?

Arya(hopefully): Guys, stop fighting. Why don't you both talk to each other?

Manik, Nandu(screamed): BECAUSE WE ARE AT WAR.

Arya(looking up): Oh higher energy power sitting above there, please save my poor ears.

Manik, Nandu: SHUT UP.

They silently reach Abhi's place. They see all the guys were watching tv while girls were talking. Cabir notices Manik and asks him.

Cabir(calmly): Sab chale gaye?

Manik(pissed): Arey nahi. Mere peeche puri baraat aa rahi hai. Can't you see? We are just coming from the airport.

Cabir(whistled coolly): Iska matlab tera aur Nandu ka jhagda ab tak chal raha hai.

Both Manik and Nandu glare him.

Cabir(shrugging): Arey baad mein jhagad lena. For now, what's the plan?

Manik: Let's chill now. We can leave for the farmhouse tomorrow in the morning. I will pick you guys. Is that ok, guys?

Everyone nods. Nandu cleared her throat for gaining attention.

Nandu(sternly): Now tell me. Who are all on my side.

Manik(helplessly): Are you not giving up on this? For your information, maine kuch nahi kiya.

Looking at the direction opposite to Manik, she talks in the air.

Nandu(disappointed): Tumne mujh par chillaya. And you say kuch nahi kiya. Vo galat nahi hai kya? Aryaman, say.

Arya(explained calmly): Manik, it's not her fault. The professor. He planned everything. I saw him staring at Nandu.

Dhruv(concerned): but she could have landed herself in trouble.

Abhi(assured): aise kaise she will get into trouble. Babydoll, kuch nahi hoga. We have enough proofs.

Cabir: Abhimanyu, principal satka hua hai. He won't even listen to us.

Mukti(furious): Jaise hum use aise hi chod denge? He is messing with us.

Soha: But, Manik is correct.

Nandu(declared): Acha bas. Arya, Abhimanyu, Mukti you are on my side. Dhruv, Cabir, Soha on Manik's side.

She winks at Manik after saying Soha's name to which he glares her.

Nandu: Navya, tu mere team mein hai. Alya you are in Manik's team.

Cabir(sarcastically): Ye team kis liye mohtarma?

Nandu(seriously): We will have a match between both our teams. Jo jeeta toh dusre wale ki baat manna hogi.

Dhruv(confused): what match?

Nandu: A badminton match. Each person from the team will compete against other. In the end, the final match will be between the best two. Whoever wins the match, their team is the winner.

Manik: oh hello. There isn't any world badminton championship going on here.

Nandu(shrugged): whatever.

Alya(tiredly): Guys, I am hungry. Let's order something.

Dhruv(shocked): baby, tumhe bhook bhi lagta hai?

Cabir: Wahi toh main bhi soch raha hun. Mujhe laga tu khali dieting karti hai. It's a miracle.

Navya: Shut up, Cabir. Guys, kya khana hai?

Nandu(smirks): Pizza party.

Cabir(screamed): Nahiiii

Mutki(rubbing her palms in excitement): Ab toh pakka hona chahiye.

Cabir:(whined) Why do you all hate me so much?

Nandu(coolly): dekh tujhe ek mauka mila tha apne galti sudharne ka. Lekin tu ab bhi Manik ki team mein chala gaya. Sorry, I can't help it now. Hum pizza kha rahe hai, but you won't even touch a slice.

Manik rolls his eyes while Abhi goes for giving the order. Aryaman gives Cabir a sympathetic look.

Soon they started having pizzas with Cabir cribbing and muttering abuses at his friends. His cribbing came to a halt when there was a hand in front of him, offering him a slice of pizza.

He looked up and found Nandu. She sat beside him and winked. He took the slice from her hand and started eating after taking her in a side hug.

Cabir(emotionally): Tu sach mein meri best friend hai. Aansu aa gaye mere toh.

He wiped off his fake tears earning a punch from Nandu. They looked up and found everyone looking at them with a smile, Aryaman, and Manik giving Nandu a proud look. As soon as Nandu saw Manik smiling, she winked at him making him glare her once again.

Arya(surprised): So, you were teasing him all the time?

Nandu nods in a yes, still concentrating on the pizza.

Cabir(dramatically): Aaj se main Manik ko tyaag raha hun, Nandu. I will be in your team.

Manik gives him a bewildered look. After finishing off their pizzas,

Nandu: Let's play.

Soha(scowled): Do you think I have time for this stupid games? I have to go and meet my friend. Jaldi khatam karo.

Cabir(with a fake sadness): Soha dear. I know she can be stupid. Tum jao apne friend ke paas. Hum toh yehi phanse hue hai iske saath.

Soha(happily): You are my best friend, Cabir. Manik, can I bring my friend to the farmhouse, please?

Manik(frowned): What? Why?

Nandu(shrugging): oh you can, Soha.

Manik gives her an 'are you serious look' to which she ignores him.

Soha(clapping her hands): you are so sweet, Nandu. I am going now. Bye, everyone. Bye, Manik baby.

Cabir(confused): Arey Soha, tumne Abhi baby ko bye nahi bola.

Soha(stated as a matter of fact): Cabir, vo hamare rival team mein hai na.

Cabir(fake proudly): Genius you are, Soha. Bye.

As soon as she leaves, Mukti, Abhimanyu, and Nandu pounce upon Cabir and starts beating him up. Manik comes to his rescue. Separating them, he asks Cabir with a fake concern.

Manik: Cabir, you are fine na. Kahin chot toh nahi lage tujhe?

Cabir(slapping his hand): Saale, overacting ki dukaan. At Least sahi se puch liya kar.

Everyone settles down after laughing and pass their time with Nandu and Manik ignoring each other.

Manik: Guys, let's leave. It's almost night. We can meet tomorrow.

Nandu(ignoring him): Nahi mujhe aur time spend karna hai. Cabir, ask him to leave.

Before she could say anything, she felt herself flying in the air.

A/N- Are you disappointed with the chapter?

Guys, as the book was supposed to be a humor one, there would hardly be any 'serious' situation unless required. Characters are crazy and can be illogical.

Why is Nandu flying? That's an easy one I guess. :P
