In Dixit's Palace

In Virendhar's bedroom

Nandini's POV

My Dad is the most immature person I have ever known..He knew he has to take medicines after Lunch for diabetes but he is enjoying with his friends like he had his medicine on time and nothing is left to do in his life..God..When will he listen to me..Now where is his tablets..ahh there it is..I was about to move out of the room after taking his medicine from nowhere I was pinned on the wall with a hand on my mouth. I got startled with this sudden attack but then got calm down..Wait..its his touch..

I raised my chin upwards to see him when I heard the door closing. My eyes were met with a raging pair of eyes..I sighed..same old angry man..He would never change..whenever he pins me somewhere then it always used to be in anger..Sometimes those eyes will ask me ' to stay away from Dhruv or himself' or sometimes they asked me ' to stay with him '..I really used to wonder what does he want me from me..I pushed his hands off my mouth..

Nandini ( annoyed ): What the hell is your problem..? How dare you touch me..?

Manik ( shouted ): Enough Nandini..how much more will you act..?

Nandini ( confused ): Acting..? What non sense are you speaking..?

Manik ( glared ): Don't you dare start your drama again..You've been acting like you don't even know me since I have come to Paris..what really do you want from me..?

Nandini ( angrily ): What really do you want from me Mr. Malhotra..? And what drama are you speaking about..I am not acting..Yes I did act..in India..when I had to behave like a middle class girl..but what you are seeing here is the truth..The real Nandini is whom you are witnessing in Paris..

Manik ( held her shoulders ): Really..? This is the real Nandini..? The one who dresses up sexily even in office..The Diva behind whom the Paris guys are mad of..The one didn't even give a damn to the guy for whom once she had feelings, or maybe fake feelings for..The one who is the princess of the guy's dad whom she cheated..The one who acts all cozy in Albums with her male best friends..I am warning you Nandini..if you are doing all these things to prove me that you have moved on then get this thing straight in your mind that I.Don't.Care.If.You.Have.Moved.On..

Nandini ( jerked him off her): Are you done..? I f yes, then listen to me now..I am Nandini Dixit..Yes, I dress up sexily because that's my wish and nobody has the right to question it, Yes I am the Diva of Paris and guys do come behind me but I have no problem with it then why do you care.., Yes I am the princess of My Pops but I never cheated on his son..that's your thought and I don't have anything to do with it, Yes I act cozy with my best friends in my Albums..Cause I am comfortable in it and moreover I Trust Him..I knew he wouldn't hurt me just like how somebody have already did it to me..But what I don't agree to, is about the feelings..what was even you were talking about..What feelings or fake feelings..I never had any kind of feelings for any damn person..And moved on..? May I know when did I even stuck with someone or something to move on..I was never stuck with a guy or something else, if not then I can't even move on..

I was damn pissed, who is he to question about my dressing style..Did I ever ask him to chose my styles..No..I never did..My Bhayyu doesn't like girls wearing modern dress but he never stopped me, he says that if a girl is comfortable in what she is wearing then nobody has the right to stop her..

He was standing there still..All he was doing is staring into my eyes..When he used to stare in them years back, he used to find my inner soul but now, no..He can't cause I am an open book to my loved ones and he used to be one among them but now he is family, only because his Dad is my Pops..He has given only pain to me and I wouldn't allow him to make me suffer it again..

Manik ( composed himself ): So, all you had for me was..fake..only fake..right..

Nandini ( sarcastically ): You could never understand me..Even now..

He looked at me with confusing eyes..But I didn't want to answer so I turned to go but he stopped me by holding my hand..

Manik ( frustrated ): Why..Why are you behaving so cold with me when you are the one who is supposed to be treated like that..?

Nandini ( chuckled ): Really..Am I the one who should be supposed to be treated like how I treat you..wow..Bravo..Like..you really proved that We were never meant to be..

Manik took his hand back in a jerk and looked at her in shock..

Nandini ( emotionless ): Have you ever thought what I actually told in the court..( He looked at her with raised eyebrows )..No right..What did I tell in the court..I will remind you.." I was unconscious and I don't even know what has happened with me.." Right..May I know which part of this line shows that I don't trust you..

He looked at me with a blank look..

Nandini ( folded her hands ): What..you don't have an answer..? Arey, you were the one who told that I don't trust you and that's why I couldn't give a statement in favor to you in the court..From then I always thought that why do you feel like that..I never got answer..Maybe you could clear my doubt..Wait..first tell me..what was wrong in my statement..Wasn't I unconscious when all that fiasco happened..If a person is unconscious, will he/ she ever know what happens in the surrounding..According to me the answer to both the questions is YES..And I was unconscious then how am I supposed to know whether you killed someone or not..

Manik ( frustrated ): That's the point..you believed that I killed her..You believed that I could kill a person..

Nandini ( shouted ): Of course I did Mr. Manik Malhotra..I did believe that you can kill a person if its to protect your loved ones..if its to protect someone close to you..someone whom you don't want to lose..Didn't you nearly killed Harshad for hurting Dhruv by breaking his guitar..and for hurting Cabir by beating him with goons..Harshad nearly lost his breathe when he was drowned in the water tank..They were your best friends..You were ready to kill Harshad for hurting your best friends..Then if someone try to kill me will you just sit and watch..? You wouldn't hurt that person if you saw me dying in front of your eyes..won't you..Answer me Malhotra..

( Manik stood there rooted in his place..he didn't know what to answer..won't he harm that person who tried to harm his best friends, of course he will..Maybe in the process that person could even lose his life because Manik Malhotra's wrath is something beyond one could think and here its about Nandini whom his heart always loved, whom his heart always wanted to be with..And when his heart sees her getting killed will it sit simply..won't it urge Manik to take the life out of that person who tried to harm her..)

Nandini ( sarcastically ): You have no answer..right..I knew it..you wouldn't have an answer..Let me ask you..If you were in my place, like you were unconscious and I was accused of a murder..what will you do..? Won't you say that you were unconscious..?

He looked at me blankly..I sighed..He has no answer..

Nandini ( calmly ): You have no answer..cause you would say it..But nobody can blame you..nobody can tell that it doesn't mean you don't trust me, why..? Because you are Manik Malhotra..and you have all the right to say whatever comes in your mind..only you have that right..( she sighed )..I have nothing to talk..I am a person who don't nag on her past..If I was then I wouldn't be the Nanz of Paris..I live in my Present..and you are not a part of it..I don't want it to be too..

I walked out of the room..I don't want to be with him anymore..He was my past and like mom says.." Past might make you happy or cry but never think about it cause everything matters to you is your Future " And I know My future is My Family..

End of Nandini's POV

While Manik stood there shocked, puzzled, surprised..or what not..He doesn't even know how to name it cause he always blamed her for hurting him but now he feels like she wasn't the reason for his sorrow but he himself was.." Was she right all these years..Am I the reason for our separation..? " thought Manik..

( Important Point: Cabir isn't a gay in my story..Everybody believed that Raghav was Cabir's boyfriend just like how its shown in the show. But in reality, Raghav was Cabir's Mother's brother's son whom Akash doesn't like..Akash never liked his wife's family. They were always greedy so he thought even his brother-in-law's son Raghav will be like that, so he always distant Cabir from his mom's ( Cabir's mom ) family..Cabir didn't want anyone to know about his and Raghav's friendship so he hid it from his friends and family..which created a problem..Manan's first hug also happened cause Manik thought he was a gay after seeing him kissing Raghav's cheeks..But it was a brotherly or friendly gesture according to Cabir..Cabir never admitted he was gay and in a relationship with Raghav..delete that scene from your mind..

Second Point: The scene where Soha's Dad asking Nandini to go away from Manik's life never happened..as you see in my story Soha and Nandini are soul sisters and soha was already in a relationship with Aryamann..Soha's Dad is positive, you would see him in future )

At Night

Everybody were having a chit chat..Nandini wasn't looking gloomy at all..A girl who just had a confrontation with her ex or a guy whom loved, won't be looking happy and cheerful..But here she is just like how she was in the morning..This is something that she always believed in.." No matter what, if she is sad or happy, her family should be happy, and she knew their happiness lie in her smile which she always do.."

While Manik was sitting with a perplexed expression..He was feeling frustrated..He didn't know what to do..He believed all these years that she was the one to be blamed..she was the one who cheated him, who didn't trust him..But today when she raised all those questions at him, he didn't have answer..Does it mean she was right..??

Sid ( shouted ): Guys...

Everybody got alert with it when he gave a confused look at him..

Sid: What..aap log aise kyu dekh rahe hai..

Soha ( worried ): Tumne chillaya kyu..

Sid ( coolly ): Mujhe kuch bathana tha..

Nandini took a cushion and threw it at him..

Nandini ( furiously ): Tujh jaise gadhe ko pehli baar dekh rahi hoon..tujhe kuch bathana hai tho chillane ke zaroorath kya hai..

Sid ( sheepishly ): I just got a point in my head, so thought of reminding you guys..

Arya ( confused ): Konsa point..

Sid ( grinned ): Its Saturday..and its already 8 P.M.

M4 ( shouted ): Oh shit..

All 4 got up and pulled Sid too and started walking upstairs..

Ranveer ( confused ): Arey jaa kaha rahe hai..

Nandini ( from the stairs ): Papa..aaj club night hai..

" Oh" echoed the hall

While Fab 5 sat there in surprise..

Alya ( whispered ): Nandini..and club..?

Mukti ( shocked ): Unbelievable..

Viren ( turned to Fab 5 ): Why don't you guys join them..?

Cabir ( smiled ): Uh..Uncle..its fine..actually we have already planned to visit a club..

Viren ( smiled ): Oh, then its fine..I thought you didn't know about Paris clubs..its quiet interesting..

Fab 5 just smiled at Viren..

Viren ( turned to Dixit boys ): What's your plan..?

Abhi ( grinned ): My friends are coming to pick me Dad..

Vishal ( smiled ): I am going to beach with friends..

Ritesh ( grinned ): I have a break up party Dad..

Dhruv ( confused ): Break up Party..?

Viren ( sighed ): Oh yes, that's a kind of party which Ritu keeps before breaking up with his every girlfriend..Just like how you see the bad boys of movies..

Swayam ( chuckled ): Mujhe ek bath batha Ritu..agar tujhe patha hai ki tum inn ladkiyon se break up karega tho relationship kyu..?

Ritesh ( coolly ): Arey Papa..mujhe thodi patha ye ladkiyan ithni chipku hogi..I mean, har waqt chipakthe rehthi hai..aur kuch na kuch mangthe rahthi hai chahe wo rich ho ya nahi..

Raj ( smiled ): Tho relationship chodo..

Ritesh ( nodded in No ): Nahi Pops..agar chod diya tho mujhe kese patha chalega ki mery lady love kon hai..

Ranveer ( nodded ): Point hai..

Ritesh ( agreed ): Wahi tho..

Akash ( curiously ): Wese ye batha..tujhe konsi type ki ladki chahiye..

Ritesh ( grinned ): Meri Di jaise ladki chahiye mujhe..

Everybody looked at him and smiled except Fab 5 who were having confused looks on their faces..

Lalith ( sighed ): Arey baba..teri Di jaise mathlab kya hai..har insaan ko apni apni personality hogi na..

Ritesh ( coolly ): Of course hogi..Meri Di jaisi mene kaha..bilkul wo nahi..Meri Di mujhse pyar karthi hai, meri care karthi hai, mere saare bath manthe hai..mujhe kabhi kisika bhi kammi mehsoos hone nahi diya..agar aisi ladki hai tho wo meri lady love warna No Love, No Marriage..

Saying this he got up and left to get ready for his break up party..

Manik hid his smile, he just understood that how much she means to her family..

Alya: Um..Dad..can we leave..

Ranveer ( sighed ): Ithni jaldhi kyu Alya..

Viren ( glared at Ranveer ): Ranvi..Jaane de na..bachon ko club jaana hai..

Ranveer just nodded at Alya..

Raj ( smiled ): Haa..jaa bachon..

Fab 5 smiled and bade bye to everyone and went away..

Outside " Lose it Baby " Club ( I created the name.. :P )

Fab 5 reached got out of their car and reached the venue..Guys and girls were checking the Fab 5 members while they didn't give a damn..They reached the guards who were asking for the tickets..

Guard : I am sorry sir, these tickets are not registered..

Manik ( confused ): What..?

Cabir: I am the one who registered for the tickets..

Guard: There is some complication..You will have to wait until we get you new tickets..It would just take 10 minutes..

Fab 5 nodded with a frustrated look on their faces..

While soon their mouths hanged down after seeing the scene in front of them..

3 expensive sport bikes came in the highest speed and parked in front of the club..Fab 5 could just gape at the bikes..It was made out of gold and diamonds..Soon they heard the murmurings which they listened to..

Boy 1: Holy crap..its them..

Girl 1: The M5..

Fab 5 looked at each other in shock after hearing the name ' M5 ' from the couple beside them..

The first bike guy took off his helmet and it turned out to be..

Mukti ( shocked ): Dev Kapoor..

The second bike guy took off his helmet..

Alya ( shocked ): Aryamann Murthy

Behind him there was a girl and she too had a helmet which she took off..

Cabir ( shocked ): Soha Khuranna

Boy 2: God..she is soo sexy..

Boy 3: Dude, she is the second diva of Paris..so she ought to be sexy..

Boy 4 ( jealous ): What's the use..she is already taken by yet another celebrity Mr. Aryamann Murthy..

The third bike guy took off his helmet..

Manik ( angrily ): Sidharth Kapoor..

Behind him a girl was seated, she took of the helmet only to earn gasps..

Fab 5 ( shocked ): Nandini..

All 5 got off the bikes and stood in front of the club after giving the keys to the guards to park them..They didn't see the Fab 5 yet..

Boy 5: She is ravishing dude..

Manik's hands turned into fists, his eyes were red due to anger..First of all, she came to a club with Sid whom he doesn't like at all and secondly these guys are passing only flirty comments..

Boy 4: Fortunately, she isn't taken dude..

Boy 5: God, I wonder who will be that lucky guy to make her his..

Manik looked at the boy with a blank look and looked at Nandini who was laughing with her friends..

Manik ( smiled + Whispered ): She is gorgeous..

The M5 started walking when suddenly the girls stopped in their tracks and turned to dev..

Nandini ( confused ): Where is she..?

Soha ( nodded ): Exactly, she was supposed to be here before 5 minutes..

Dev ( looked at the entrance ): I don't know..when I called her before leaving, she said she will come on her own..and will be reaching here withing 15 minutes..

Nandini ( sighed ): Then , why isn't she here..

Soha who was also looking for her saw something and smiled and took hold of Nandini's hand..

Soha ( smiled ): There she is soulie..

Nandini and the rest turned to the entrance, seeing them turning even Fab 5 turned to see a girl entering the club..Nandini and Soha ran to the girl and hugged her which she returned with equal favor..

" We missed you Sona "

They broke the hug..

Nandini ( smiled ): Thank you so much for coming Sona..

Sona ( smiled ): Its nothing yar..

Soha ( teased ): Between you are looking beautiful..

Sona ( sighed ): Thank god..but you know..I think its not that up to this club and all..I mean..isse zyada fashionable nahi pehen sakthi mein..

Sonakshi Bose : The only best friend of M5. She became Dev's best friend in 10th standard and then he introduced her to his gang. Soon the girls liked her to no extent and they became bffs..Sonakshi considered them like her family. Since sonakshi was a middle class girl and a bit reserved type, she never had much of friends. Her friend list was always limited but she got trapped in Dev's eyes..He had an instant attraction towards her and then forwarded friendship which she accepted after a lot of hesitation..Soon they became each other's love interest but never confessed it thinking they might lose their friendship..She is a dance teacher in Sid's and Dev's Music Academy..

Nandini and Soha looked at each other and then started laughing making Sona pout in anger..

Sona ( annoyed ): Has kyu rahe yar..

Nandini ( chuckled ): You know you are too cute..

Sona ( glared ): Nandy..

Nandu: Okay, finger on lips..

Soha ( smiled ): Meri pyari Sona ji..you look beautiful and what you are wearing is totally beautiful..

Nandini ( smiled ): Wese bhi, fashion isn't in what we wear, its in the way we pull it off..so don't worry..Can't you see that Dev cant take his eyes off you..

Sonakshi looked at Dev who was still looking at her with wide opened mouth which Arya closed by now..She blushed but then hid it..Their talks were heard by Fab 5..

Sona ( glared ): Shut up guys..Nothing like that..

" Ab chalo soon-to-be Bhabi "

Sona glared at the girls while they shrugged it off and took her hand and started walking..Soon they reached the boys and Dev smiled at her which she returned while Sid and Arya shook hands with her's..She isn't comfortable in hugging guys..

They started walking when Nandini stopped Dev..

Nandini ( innocently ): Dev..Sona isn't comfortable with clubs..so please accompany her..

Saying this she walked away with others..While the duo stood in awkwardness..

Dev ( smiled ): You look..beautiful..

Sona gave a blushy smile and hid it..Dev forwarded his hand to her when she gave a look at him..

Dev ( smiled ): Trust me..?

Hearing this word Manik looked up at them when he remembered his moments with Nandini..

He had pain in his eyes but seeing the moment between Dev and Sona made him smile too..It just reminded him of them..

Soan ( smiled ): I thought you could read my eyes..

Dev ( grinned ): And that's why I forwarded my friendship for the first time..

She smiled and gave her hand..He entwined them with his and started walking with her and reached their friends..M4 smirked at them..

Dev ( innocently ): What..you only told me to accompany her..Now come on..what are we waiting for..

He went forward with Sona while M4 just hi-fied with each other..They too followed the duo and Fab 5 too entered the club..

To be continued..
