"Mei dekho teri photo, sau sau baar kude!
Mei dekho teri photo!"

Manik choked his mixed berries juice and looked at Meher with horror-filled eyes who were smirking devilishly while chewing her morsel and feeding Mishti along who was having a hard time controlling her laugh.

"Oye besuri kya subhe subhe chalu kardiya gala phadna!" Vihaan said

"Shut up! Mera ghar hai, mera gala meri marzi mei jo chahe karu! If you have any problem than get lost." Saying she again started singing her song but this time the pitch was higher. (My house, My voice, my choice)

Main dekhun teri photo
Sau sau baar kude
Ke uthde tufaan seene vich
Sau sau baar kude

Tu sapne mein aa hi jaati hai
Tu neend udaa hi jaati hai
Tu sapne mein aa hi jaati hai
Tu neend udaa hi jaati hai

Tu mil ek vaar kude

"Meher, kya hogya hai tujhe, kyu subhe subhe sabka din kharab kar rahill hai." Manik said partially being irritated and partially nervous about his sister and his niece.

(Meher, what has happened to you? Why are you spoiling everyone's ear that too early in the morning?")

"Why bhai? Are you having any problem with my singing?" Meher mocked but before Manik could reply she mocked again

"Oh wait! Let me rephrase it, Bhai are you having any problem with the song?"

Manik gave her a pissed look and she royally ignored it with smirking face and leaving Misti to laugh and other family members to gawk at them confusingly.

"What the hell is going on?" Cabir asked irritated with the trio (Manik meher and Mishti)

"Oh! Nothing much bhai, just having an act of sweet revenge from someone."

"Achha bhai ek taza taza Shayri aayi hai, sunoge?" she asked Manik

( Bro! A Shayari as fresh as your glowing cheeks came in mind, wanna listen?")

"NOOO" everyone chorused with a horrified expression on their face except Mishti who was sitting there confused.

"Accha to Aarz kiya hai...."

"We said 'no' Meher" Sharnya interjected

"I heard Bhabhi." Meher said in an obvious tone.

"Haa to arz kiya mulayeza farmaiye ga..." Meher started and everyone sighed knowing she won't listen to anyone.

"Arey Irshad... Irshad bolo!" she demanded

"Irshad... Irshad." Everyones not so interested plus dreading voice echoed in the mansion.

"Tere photo mei kya jaadu hai jo tujhse nazar nahi hatti,

Tere... photo mei... kya jaadu hai jo tujhse nazar nahi hatti meri jaan.

Bas teri aur kicha chala aata hoo jese
Mei koi mashoor Shayaar aur tu mera Paan!"

Meher completed and did the salam, in the end, looking at everyone.

"Waah Waah Waah Waah!! Meher tera koi jawab nahi #MeherKiShayariZindabad" Meher patted her own back and then looked at others who were looking at her with their mouth hung open.

"Awww! You people loved my Shayari this much."

"Wow bui you were amazing." Mishti clapped her hands while smiling at Meher gleefully. As soon as Mishti completed her sentence everyone's head snapped from Meher to Mishti, looking at her in astonishment.

"Aww honeybug! Thank you so much. Don't worry from now on you'll be hearing my shayari's more." Meher winked at Mishti and she nodded her head in affirmative, while everyone was having 'oh-no' expression on their faces.

"Manik, kya khilakar bada kiya tha isse!" Ansh who was sitting to Manik's right muttered in his ears. (What the heck did you feed her while growing up)

"This is all because of this idiots!" Manik threw his Napkin in Abhimanyu and Rehan's direction.

They both looked at Manik who was sitting across to them and frowned in confusion. While Manik was looking at them with an accusing face.

"They were the one who took her to some Shayari Sammelan and from there she got the passion of this Shayari's and all," Manik said and Ansh also looked at them with narrowed eyes and they scrunched up their noses in confusion and looked at each other asking what's happening to each other, not having answers they shrugged their shoulders and concentrated on their food.

"Manik?"

Cabir's voice diverted his mind from killing both Abimanyu and Rehan internally.

"Hmm," he hmmed looking at him signing him to continue.

"You remember, there is a Charity ball tomorrow right?" Manik nodded his head in affirmation.

"Yeah, so what about it?"

"Ummm... so I won't be able to come tomorrow, as I have my family date planned already." Manik looked at Cabir then at Navya and Mishti, who were giving him puppy eyes. Manik sighed and nodded his head in okay.

Cabir fist-bumped in air, happy on his victory. He wiggled his eyebrow at other men accept Manik who was looking at him in anger.

"Sautan Ji..." Before Aparna can complete her sentence Manik spoke looking at Ansh

"Ansh bhai, no need to come tomorrow; have your lovey-dovey time with your wife."

He then looked at Aparna who had an excited smile on her face "Happy?" He asked with a sarcastic smile.

"Beyond happy. May you find the love of your life in the charity ball tomorrow. Thathastu"

Manik nodded his head in disbelieve on Aparna's drama, but his lips twitch, forming a small smile when Nandini's face flashed in front of his eyes.

"Maannniiikkkkk......" Abhimanyu drawled his name.

"Kya chahiye?" Manik asked in an annoyed tone and Abhimanyu made face.

"Me and Reh..an has decided to...to take are wives... on double date." Abhimanyu sutured in anticipation, fearing for his reaction.

"Tum sab ko kal hi kuch plan karna tha." He asked raising his perfectly arched eyebrows and which made them shrink in their seats under his judging gaze but to their relief Deven cam to their rescue.

"Chod na Manu bacche enjoy karna chahte hai let them go!" 'Deven said in 'trying to convince the Azrail.' tone.

"I would have been okay  Mamu, if there wasn't any other motive behind them ditching to the charity ball. The reason for their sudden dates is not going the ball with me, isn't it boys?" Manik said looking at four of them who squirmed in their seats.

"Sorry na, this time please Manik. It bores the fuck out of us, going there faking smiles blah blah blah. It's better, we stay at home and do something effective." Rehan said winking at Sharanya at last, resulting her to blush and glare at him at the same time.

"Don't worry big bear, have some mercy and let the poor souls stay with their wives, I'll accompany you tomorrow," Meher said casually shrugging her shoulders.

"Oh hell no!" came Manik's instant answer

She narrowed her eyes and him and answered back in the same tone as him "Oh hell yes! I'm coming tomorrow, whether you approve it or not."

"Meher, I'm in no mood of kidding, it's serious here. You are not coming. Period."

"I ain't kidding either big bear. I'm coming with you. Period."

"Meher, why don't you understand, I can't take the risk of other's knowing you are my sister and my whole lot of enemies will be present there tomorrow with hawk eyes just waiting to grab an opportunity to take my position and you will be a pawn in their game." Manik completed in a frustrated tone.

"I know big bear and I understand your concern as well," Meher said in a soft tone with soft and angelic feature on her face and continued

"That is why I'll be going as Vihan's girlfriend, not as your sister."

"WHAT??" they all growled unitedly but the most prominent voice was of Vihan Kholi.

He choked his saliva when Meher uttered the word 'Vihan's girlfriend.' Poor soul was shocked to the core yet a bubble of happiness grew in his gut.

"My.... Girl.. girl... girlfriend." He sutured with a dreamy look on his face. Oh much he wanted this to be forever, she being his girlfriend or better much his wife forever, but this was too good to be true.

"What the hell are you speaking Meher?" Manik's infuriated voice brought him back from his Meher land and he also gave her a serious look.

"Ye..ss yes Meher, what are you saying?" He gave Manik 'I'm innocent look' and looked at Meher who was sipping her juice as if she didn't give him a minor heart attack.

"You have a girlfriend?" Vihan gulped under Meher scrutinizing eyes but he also felt a hint of jealousy in her voice, which didn't go unnoticed by the women of the house. Vihan instantly nodded his head in no.

"No... no... I don't have any girlfriend." Vihan explained in a hurry as if him nodding his head wasn't enough to kill Meher's doubt or misunderstanding.

"Good! Soo Bhai problem solved. Now I'm coming to the party." She said looking at him with a deadly serious voice.

"And girls, please help me with the dress." She continued looking at the ladies in the room.

"Meh.." Manik stopped when Deven shook his head signing not to say anything. Manik sighed at looked at his sister who was now discussing which colour dress will suit her more, with tons of excitement on her face.

He just hoped there were no more surprises waiting for him for tomorrow's charity ball.

*****

Manik's attire

Meher's Attire

Vihan's Attire

"Bhai, where is your plus one?" Meher asked as soon as they got down from the limo and moved towards the entrance of the ball while giving poses to the paparazzi and dodging their questions.

"I don't need one baby sis." Manik answeres nonchalantly and Meher frowned

"But, isn't plus one compulsory for the entry?"

He smirked "no one has the power to stop me from entring anywhere and Manik Malhotra doesn't abide by anyone's rule."

"Cocky much?" Meher murmured under her voice which Vihan heard.

"Don't even get me started with his cockiness." He spoke in her ears. Meher's breath hitched as his warm breath fanning in her ears, and after his cologne and after shave smell creating havoc in the pit of her stomach.

Clenching her clutch tighter, Meher controlled her feelings and fake glared at Vihan, "you are talking about my brother." She reminded him with a hushed voice which was only audible to him.

"Meher."

"Ji Bhai," She responded

"No! Tonight no bhai, or big bear, it's only Manik, got that."

"Yes, bhai don't worry. I'll keep that in mind." Meher assured, Manik nodded his head and looked around holistically, seeing no one present in their vicinity other than his guards, he bent down and kissed her forehead.

"Don't get yourself in any trouble. Okay?" Manik warned with questioning her at last. Meher nodded her head and gave him and reassuring smile.

"And you Vihan," he looked up to Vihan with warning face.

"Keep her safe. One scratch on her, I'll starch your whole existence."

"I won't let anything happen to her bhai. Trust me." Genuineness in his voice was clear as a crystal which Manik appreciated but of course internally.

"Stay behind me, and don't leave Vihan." He instructed Meher and signed two of his most trusted guards to follow them and others to stand outside and keep eye on everyone.

As soon as Manik graced his presence in the ball, the whole ball went silent. Everyone was watching the power radiating from the man standing at the entrance with his hands thrusted in his pockets and face devoid of any emotions, some adoring and gushing over one of the finest human male species alive and some with envy in their eyes.

"Manik, my son." A genuinely happy voice greeted Manik.

He looked at the source of the voice to see, a man in his late fifties wearing a light brown three-piece suit moving towards him.

"Mr. Tyagi." Manik greeted with a crut nod and a small smile on his lips.

"I don't know when you will change a young boy, show some emotions on your face." Saying, Anshuman Tyagi hugged him.

"I don' think there is any value of emotion in business world Mr.Tyagi. The more emotionless and ruthless you are the less guilt and pain you feel." An emotionless voice of Manik rang in their ears.

"Well, you have got a valid point, my boy." He then looked at Vihan and Meher standing exactly behind Manik.

"Hello, Mr. Kohli and who is this pretty lady standing with Mr. Kohli." He asked looking at Meher.

"Hello Mr. Tyagi and this is *Wrapping his hand around her waist* the love of my life Ahana."

(P.s: Meher's name is changed here on Manik's order. As he didn't want anything related to Meher discussed here not even her name. so all the information she'll sharing will be fake.)

"Well! Hello, my dear, you have got a lucky piece there for yourself." Anshuman said while taking one of her hands and kissing back of her palm.

Meher smiled at him "Nice meeting you Mr.Tyagi and Thanks for inviting us."

"Oh, pleasure is all mine, honey." He replied and looked at three of them and continued

"Please make yourself comfortable. I'll here around greeting other guests. The function will start in a bit."

They all nodded their head in affirmation and moved forward, greeting and talking with the people who came and interacted with them.

"Manik!" a voice called out Manik, he turned and saw a man in his early forties standing there with a grinning smile.

"Danish!" Manik repeated the same thing again, he was doing form the past one hour, to the people who greeted him that is giving a crut nodded but a small smile to the people he knew or were important for his both the businesses.

"How is the boss doing?" Danish the  offshoot of Indian Mafia asked.

"All good. How are you?"

"Perfect, after all being in the Mafia commission has its own perks." Danish chuckle and Manik nodded his in agreement.

"Oh, by the way, meet Miss. Sasha."

That's when Manik observed someone's present beside Danish. He looked beside him with a slightly bored look as he was having no interest meeting any women now; he knew they will do nothing other than throwing flirty looks on him, but when he looked at the woman standing near Danish his whole demeanor changed.

Manik chocked the air he was inhaling looking the figure. It was the woman who has invaded all the thoughts, captured his heart without him knowing, entred in his soul without his permission.

There she was standing in her glory, with a black evening gown hung perfectly on her body, showing off her perfect curves incarnated on perfect places.

Nandini's Makeup and attire

Nandini was looking at Manik as if she has seen a live ghost in front of her. She was rooted in her place and gawking, since the time she saw Manik.

On the other hand, Manik Malhotra couldn't fathom what to do, whether to get infuriated on the fact that his Nandini was in someone other's arm or that the person he was longing to see since one week was now standing in front of him.

"Pleasure meeting you Miss. Sasha." His deep husky voice was only needed to bring her out of his thoughts.

Nandini visibly gulped and forwarded her hand towards Manik's hand. Manik kissed back of her palm ever so gently, which did make a chill crawl through Nandini's spine.

"Likewise" Her whispering voice was acting as magic in Manik's heart.

"Well, Manik, if you excuse us for now." Danish's voice broke their eye contact.

"Sure." Manik kissed his teeth while speaking.

Both Nandini and Danish moved towards where Mr.Tyagi was standing, while Manik typed something on his mobile and looked at his guards and they nodded their head in affirmation.

"Soon Nandini soon you'll be standing with me tonight."
