In Malhotra's Mansion

In the Living Room

The elderly men were discussing about some business stuffs while Fab 5 were just going through their works which they are supposed to complete by next day and Navya was going through her social networking sites..

" Ding Dong "

Everybody's attention turned to the calling bell..

Swayam: Alex, just check who it is..

Alex, the head of the workers of Malhotra Mansion is a very loyal person. He knew about the friendship of the elderly men including Dixits, Khurannas, Murtys and Kapoors..He is the younger brother of Peter who is the head of workers of Dixit's Palace..He is also in his early 60s, just a year younger to Peter..

Alex nodded at Swayam and went to the door and opened it only to get welcomed by the sweet smile he likes..

Alex ( smiled ): Nanz Baby Ji..

It was Nandini who came to meet her Pops and Papas. She was feeling something wrong in Ranveer's voice when she called up all 5 in the morning, so she decided to meet him at night after finishing her work..She is fond of Alex like how she is fond of Peter..

Nandini ( chirpily ): Hey Al..How are you..?

She calls him Al..

Alex ( smiled ): All good..Well, you always give sudden visits..

From nowhere, a guy jumped from her back..

Guy ( sheepishly ): And so I..

Alex ( chuckled ): Ritesh..You both brother and sister are the same..

Nandini ( sheepishly ): We are so proud of ourselves for getting such comments..

Alex giggled and so Nandini and Ritesh..

Raj ( frowned ): Alex, who is it..?

Nandini gestured him to be quiet and then both the brother-sister duo walked silently and went inside to see everyone indulged in their works..She even noticed Fab 5 doing work which really surprised her, after effects of being Nanz's employees..She giggled at it and then turned her attention to her Papas..

Nandini ( folded her arms ): Busy..?

Lalith ( indulged in work ): Yeah..

But then suddenly they looked at each other..

" Princess/ Love "

They snapped their heads in the side to see Nandini and Ritesh standing there with a sweet smile on their faces which made them smile to nth extent..They got up immediately while she ran towards them and hugged them and they kissed her forehead..They hugged Ritesh too..

While Fab 5 were surprised to see them there at this hour of night..Navya just ran to Nandini and they both hugged each other..MukLya were just making annoying faces while CabRuv smiled..Manik was busy in admiring Nandini's bond with his Dad and uncles..They look so happy and lively in her presence..

They got settled on their seats..Nandini was sitting in between Raj and Ranveer..While other 3 elderly men were sitting opposite to her..

Lalith: Waise Princess, how come you are here when its soo late..Its 8 p.m..

Nandini ( pouted ): Ab aapko mere yaha aane se bhi problem hai kya..Teek hai main chalthi hoon..

Ranveer and Raj slapped her arms lightly making her pout in anger..

Ranver: Chup chaap yaha raho..

Raj ( nodded ): Haa..Lalith..tum bhi chup raho..

Swayam ( raised his eyebrow ): Raj, isme point bhi hai na..I mean..wo aise hi nahi aaegi..She is a perfectionist and she hates to get late for office and if she needs to be on time then she needs to sleep early, so obviously something is wrong..Princess, you are fine right..

Nandini ( sighed ): Offo Swayam Papa..I am perfectly fine..I just wanted to meet you all..That's it..

Akash ( smiled ): If you are saying so then we are not exaggerating it..Chalo..what would you like to have..?

Nandini ( smiled ): I will get it..

She just got up and made drinks from the Mansion bar for which the Fab 5 and Navya gaped at her..Nandini and Alcohol..? Are you serious..?

She distributed drinks to her Papas..She then turned to Fab 5..

Nandini ( coolly ): Would you like to have drinks with us..?

Before they could reply..

Ranveer: Princess..they will make it if they want..You just sit here..

She smiled at him and nodded..She was finding too fishy in his talks..She took beers for her and Ritesh..

They were just talking..She gestured Navya to accompany her which she reluctantly did..She thought they want privacy but nothing sort of it happened..They welcomed Navya heartily..

Mukti ( pissed ): I just can't take it..My father, the great Swayam Vardhan who doesn't like much to talk is just keep on talking with that bit**..

Manik ( annoyed ): Mukti..why don't you be quiet..

Mukti ( angrily ): Now, what is wrong with you..I have been noticing you since last night..

Alya ( equally angry ): Exactly Manik..Why are you behaving weirdly..?

Manik ( snapped ): Cause I am very slow in understanding things which is why my life is full of thorns..

He just got up form there and occupied a couch near to Ritesh..They didn't notice each other..Manik was angry while Ritesh was talking with Navya..

Alya ( baffled ): What happened to him..?

Dhruv ( glared ): The thing which he should have done years back happened..

Mukti ( confused ): Now, why are you pissed..?

Cabir ( sarcastically ): Pissed..? Oh..we shouldn't have talked with them like that Dhruv..They would get angry..I just can't take it..Wanna join Dhruv..

Dhruv ( smiled ): Sure..

Even they occupied seats near to Manik..While the girls were just baffled with the boys' behavior..

Raj's and Akash's mobiles beeped with messages form their client, so they excused themselves..Swayam excused himself for washroom while Lalith got a call from Ravi so he excused himself too..Since Ranvir was alone now, she decided to ask him..She just didn't notice others..

Nandini: Papa..

Ranvir ( looked at her ): Haa..

Nandini ( softly ): Kya hua..?

Ranvir looked here and there..Those 2 words were the only words she ask whenever she catches them lying to her or whenever they try to hide something from her..

She sighed and took his hands in her..

Nandini: Papa..you know I would be with you..

Ranvir ( smiled ): I know..

Nandini ( smiled ): Tho phir, kya chupa rahe ho..When I called you in the morning, I got to know something was wrong with you..I thought you needed some space that's why i waited till you get alone but if you need space from me too, then I won't ask again..

Fab 5 and Navya sat there shocked thinking that how easily she got to know something was wrong with Ranvir, that too only in a phone call..

Ranvir ( immediately ): Baby, I know you consider me just like Viren and so am I..For me you are my daughter..So I would never think about having a space from you..

She smiled at him..

Ranvir ( awkwardly ): Its just..I was..I was mad at Alya..for insulting you..

Nandini ( confused ): Mad at Alya..insulting me..? When did she insult me Papa..?

Ranvir ( sighed): The day when she talked about all those Love's color..on our last discussion day..

Nandini looked at him with widen eyes and then slapped her forehead..

Nandini: Jesus Christ..!! Are you for real..? When did it happen Papa..Some days back..I had even forgotten about that issue and here you were mad at Alya..for which you even spoiled your mood..

Ranvir ( baby face ): It isn't a small issue..

Nandini ( sarcastically ): Yeah, its a Murder case..right..( He tried to protest ) Papa..listen to me..Alya did cross her limits but I wasn't sitting with zipped mouth..I had reacted to it and over there I had kept a full stop on it..You were mad at her like she is some enemy of mine..I swear, your daughter isn't any enemy cause you know my enemy would never look that soft like her..They are really rough cause they are even ready to kill me..

" Stop right there Nandini Dixit "

She turned to see her Papas giving angry looks at her, even Ranvir was glaring at her..She got confused..Fab 5 and Navya too got scared and they jumped in their places..At the same time Ritesh and Manik were also glaring at her..

Raj: Did you just talk about those bloody sh*** killing stuff and all..

Akash: You know nothing could harm you when we are alive..

She slapped her forehead..

Nandini: You people were eavesdropping..ain't you..?

Swayam: Of course, we knew you understood Ranvir's condition so we deliberately made all those excuses..

Nandini ( shocked ): I am impressed..And regarding the killing thing..I was just talking about my enemies..

Lalith: You don't need to..

Nandini ( sighed ): Acha teek hai..I zipped my mouth..But I want all my Papas happy..real wala smile..

They smiled at her..Ranvir kissed her forehead which irked Alya..

Ranvir: I am blessed to have you..we all are..

Nandini ( smiled ): I know..But if you want this blessing to be happy, then smile heartily..

They shared a smile while others admired their bonding except MukLya..

Nandini and Ritesh bade bye to them and reached their cars when a hand stopped Nandini from getting inside..She looked above to see Alya Vedant..

Alya ( pissed ): You can't leave so soon..

Nandini ( rudely ): I never remember giving you any kind of permission to stop me from doing something..

Mukti ( spitting fire ): How dare you interfere in our lives..?

The boys and Navya too came out when they found the girls missing..

Nandini ( interrupted ): Hold on, hold on babes..when did I interfere in your lives..?

Alya ( clapped her hands ): Great..you act so well..Just now, you interfered in our lives..You wanted to get our Dad's from us..right..That's why you are playing all these dirty games huh..You wanted them to believe that we are bad and you are good..

Nandini ( furiously ): Oh really..? Now I am trying to snatch your fathers from you..Ask yourself Mrs. Alya Vedant and Miss Mukti Vardhan..who were the reason for the distance between you and your fathers..Me or you..Cause I never told you to tell 'No' to your fathers when they ask you to be with them..I never told you to become those party animals which they dislike..

Mukti ( snapped ): That's our life Miss Attitude and you don't have any bloody right to interfere in it..

Nandini ( spitting fire ): Shut your bloody mouth Miss Vardhan..You are the one who is interfering in others' lives..If they are your fathers then they are my papas and nobody has the right..I mean it, nobody, not even you have that right to stop me from meeting them..And if someone tries to do it then you will see Nanz, The Paris' Nanz who is ready to destroy whoever comes in her way..so you better stay out of my way..

Fab 5 and Navya stood there muted again..Her anger was reaching the nth level which is really not good for them but how can Mrs. Alya Vedant stay calm..

Alya ( smirked ): Fine, if that's what you wish..But on one condition..

Nandini ( smirked ): Nandini Dixit doesn't live on any bloody person's condition..

Alya ( smirked ): Well, if you want us to stay away form you then you will have to complete a dare..

Nandini ( raised her eyebrow ): And why would I listen to it..

Alya ( coolly ): You really hate us and so you wouldn't wish to see our faces..I would stop poking in between you and my father if you complete this dare..

Nandini knew she was up to something but she didn't bother about it..

Nandini: Cool..go ahead..

Alya ( smirked): Are you sure..

Nandini ( rudely ): If Nandini Dixit says something then there is no second thoughts over it..

Alya ( smirked ): Maybe you would have a second thought on it, cause the dare is " You have to take a swim in ice cold beach water..that too in a bikini "

CabRuv and Navya was shocked with Alya's dare..Nandini never wore a bikini back in India..How could she get comfortable in it..While Manik was standing rooted..He thought she would be uncomfortable and she didn't know swimming moreover he doesn't want other guys to see her like that..

But the Dixit siblings were standing with ' Are you serious ' looks on their faces..

Mukti ( pity ): Aww Nandu baby..what happened now..Any second thoughts ..?

Nandini and Ritesh looked at each other and then started laughing making others surprised..

Alya ( annoyed ): Why the hell are you laughing..?

Ritesh ( laughing ): God, are you serious Mrs. Vedant...Bikini..Di..I feel so puckish after hearing it..

Mukti ( glared ): If you can't complete the dare then say it bravely..

Nandini ( chuckled ): You cal it dare..Jeez..If that's what you believe then you need to change it..Anyway I am ready..

" What "

Manik ( adamantly ): Nandini, you don't need to do it..

Mukti and Alya looked at him in shock..Even Ritesh..

Nandini ( smirked ): I told you..I don't give second thoughts..Bring it on Fab 5..

Alya ( smirked ): Cool, why don't you bring your gang..I would love to see M5 losing to Fab 5..

Nandini ( smirked ): Then, that would be the last day of our lives..

Others looked at her in surprise seeing her confidence..Nandini called up Soha and told the entire thing for which she was angry at first but then got way too excited..

In the Beach

M4 were already waiting there when Natesh ( Nandini+Ritesh ), Fab 5 and Navya reached there..Nandini went towards M5 and hugged them and turned to Fab 5..MukLya were smirking while Navya and the boys were concerned for her..

Soha ( excited ): Ready babes..?

Nandini ( smirked ): What do you think..?

Soha just smirked and gave a packet to her which she took it from her..

Nandini: I ll get changed to your world so famous ' bikini '..

MukLya were just enjoying while M4 and Ritesh were smirking..Nandini went away and others waited at the shore for her..

Its been 10 minutes..

Navya ( concerned ): Where is she..?

Mukti ( smirked ): Maybe she would have ran away..

Alya ( chuckled ): Oh yeah, all her bravery went into waste bin..Ready to get lose M5..

Sid ( smirked ): You would see it with your eyes..

Voice: All ready..

They turned to look at the voice and got shocked..Mukti and Alya couldn't believe their own eyes, CabRuv and Navya looked at each other in shock..While M5 were smirking..Manik's breathe had hitched in his throat after seeing her..

Manik ( shocked + whispered in heart ): HOT...Is she for real..? Damn, when did she turn this bold..She is looking like its not so new for her..

She came towards her friends..

Navya ( shocked ): Nandu..

Nandini ( smirked ): Lets complete the dare..

M5 gave a thumbs up which she returned back with her smirk..She walked towards the water and went deep and then dipped herself inside the water making others shock..Manik has almost lost his breathe when he saw her going deep in water and now when she just went inside he couldn't breathe properly..Tension was clearly visible on his face which was noticed by Sid, Dev and Ritesh..

Navya: Soha, wo abi thak aayi kyu nahi..

Soha ( smiled ): Navya, take it easy..Just believe in your best friend..Nothing and no one could harm Nandini Dixit..

And the next moment they saw Nandini raising upwards from the water which brought smile on Manik's face and so others except MukLya who were just standing shocked..

While Nandini came outside the water and walked towards them sexily..Manik's eyes have turned pitch black, he was finding it difficult to control himself..She came and stood in front of the girls..Soha came and gave a bathrobe to her which she gladly wore and then Soha just hugged her in excitement..Navya too hugged her..

Navya: You scared me idiot..

Nandini ( giggled ): Did I forget to tell you that Nandini Dixit is scared of nothing..

Navya giggled and so M5..

Nandini ( smirked ): So, how was it Miss Vardhan and Mrs. Vedant..?

The girls were just glaring at her..

Nandini ( smirked ): Maybe, now you got the meaning of our laughter..So, how do you feel to lose with M5..

Alya ( furiously ): You..

Dev ( angry ): That's enough you girl..You have already spoke a lot..So, now you both girls will zip your useless mouths..

Arya ( pissed ): One more word against my sister, then we would forget what relation we have with you..

Sid ( furiously ): You really don't know M5's power..

The girls got scared especially when Fab 5 boys were speaking nothing..

Nandini ( coolly ): Chill guys..it was just a dare..So, I hope now you would keep your promise..Stay away from my way..Get it..?

The girls just glared while M5 moved to go when Nandini turned back again and looked at the girls..

Nandini ( smirked): Between, I just forgot to mention..I knew swimming..it was just a part of my acting to fall in your swimming pool back in India..And regarding bikini..( she made a cute face )..I walk around the beach only in 'it'..

Fab 5 and Navya stood there shocked..While M5 and Ritesh left with their smirks..
