3 '0 clock in the afternoon.
Sitting above a table, I was busy in eating the chocolates, gifted by Cabir.
Cabir ( happily ) : yaar Nandini. ...tum naa hamesha aisi hi raho! !!!.....chhoti si! !!!!!
My eyes popped out, angrily I said " what do you mean by 'chhoti si '???????"
On seeing my angry bird wala face, Cabir got scared and started fumbling "woh. ....main. ..."
But, soon he was rescued by none other than 'Mr Pervert Malhotra '.
Manik ( pulling my leg ) : sahi toh keh raha hai Cabir. ....
And I just keept on glaring at Manik, who was smirking like a lunatic.
Manik ( still smirking ) : waise yaar Cabir. ...tu ne usse bilkul sahi gift diya hai! !!!!......CHOCOLATES! !!!!.....dekh naa. ....woh kitne pyaar se khaa rahi hai! !!!.....just like a kid! !!!!
On hearing this, I raised my hand and slapped Maniks shoulder. But, instead of him, I was wincing with pain. Because, I had hit Manik with my right hand, which got burned few hours ago.
Manik immediately took my hand in his and started inspecting.
Manik ( scolding ) : pagal ho gayi ho kya? ?????......agar kuch ho jataa toh! !!!!.....just stop behaving like a kid! !!!!!
Again that word 'kid '. I mean. ....usse yeh word mujhe bole bina chaain nehin ata. He just loves that word and is obsessed with it.
Me ( grumpily ): sorry! !!!!.....next time se nehin hoga. ....
Manik ( glaring at me ): you should be. ...
We were busy in our tussle, when Aryaman approached us.
Aryaman ( tensed ) : I just completed calculating the amount of money we had earned. ...but Manik. ....NGO ko donate karne ke liye woh bahut kam hai! !!!!
While I just noticed the carefree look on Maniks face being replaced by a frown.
Aliya ( tensed ) : ab hum kya karenge Manik? ????.....humare pass sirf kuch hi hours bachein hai! !!!!!
Mukti ( serious ) : Aliya is right. ...itne kam time mein hum zyaada paise kaise collect karenge? ????.... I mean. ....we can't force the customers to come over here! !!!!
Me ( instinctively ) : yes. ....we can force them! !!!!!
As soon as, these words came out of my mouth, I found all the pair of eyes on me.
Me ( pov ) ( scared ) : kuch galat keh diya kya? ????......sab aise kyon ghur rahe hai? ????
Manik in a serious tone , finally asked "kaise? ?????.....please explain? ????"
Composing myself, I calmly started speaking "you guys are good at singing! !!!.....so ....why don't we just organise a concert over here ?????"
Navya (excitedly ) : Fab5 ka concert.....superb idea! !!!!
Me ( confused ) : who's Fab5? ????
As soon as I asked this question, I found Navya giving me dangerous glares.
Navya ( angrily ) : tum Fab5 ko nehin janti!!!!!!!
Okay. ...I won't lie, but I am really scared of Navya's this look.
Cabir ( calming her down ): Navya baby calm down. ....Nandini ko nehin pataa hoga! !!!!......its not a big deal! !!!!
Me ( pov ) ( getting more confused ) : mujhe kya nehin pataa? ?????
Manik ( sweetly ) : actually. ....Me, Cabir, Dhruv, Aliya and Mukti are a small band. ....named Fab5! !!!!
Navya ( glaring ) : jhuth. ...Manik jhuth bol raha hai. ...Fab5. ...Mumbai ki best music band hai! !!!
After hearing this, I just looked at Manik with a bewitched look. While Manik just face palmed.
Finally Dhruv spoke " I think. ....Nandini's idea is brilliant. ...we definitely should try it! !!!!"
Manik giving me his idiotic grin said " I always knew. ....Miss Violent had got some brains! !!!"
Me ( pissed ) : what do you mean? ????
Manik ( smirking ) : nothing kid! !!!!!
Me ( pov ) ( annoyed ) : I am not a kid. ....but he is a jerk! !!!!
My chain of thoughts was broken, as Mukti said " so. ...what are we waiting for? ???.....let's rock this concert! !!!!!!"
Saying this Fab5 had a group hug. While I and Navya looked at them, lovingly.
Everyone was busy in preparing for the concert. While I was engrossed in observing the hustle and bustle around me.
As per Pervert Malhotra's strict orders, I was made to sit all alone and was not even allowed to touch a single thing. Because Mr Pervert thinks, that I would hurt myself, if I touch anything.
Me ( hell annoyed ) : he is such a jerk! !!!!.....kaun aisa karta hai? ????
Manik teleported from nowhere and sheepishly said "main aisa karta hu! !!!!.....because. ...I am the Pervert and you are the Kid! !!!!
Me ( angrily ) : kitni baar kahu. ...that I am not a kid! !!!!!
Manik ( teasing ): oh really! !!!!!
Before we could continue further ,Mukti interrupted "kyon bacchi ko pareshaan kar raha hai! !!!!!"
As soon as Manik heard this, he started laughing like a mad man.
While I gaped at him with anger and Mukti with shock.
Manik ( still laughing ): dekha. ....ab toh Mukti ne bhi tumhe bacchi bulana start kar diya! !!!!.....hence it is proved. ....you are a kid. ...Nandu. ....
As soon as the word 'Nandu ' left Maniks mouth, I was shocked. I didn't knew how to react.
Blankly, I walked away from there.
Mukti ( angrily ) : tu bhi naa Manik. ....kyon usse itna pareshaan karta hai? ????.....ab ho gayi naa gussa! !!!!
Manik ( concerned ) : sorry yaar. ....mujhe nehin pataa tha. ....suddenly woh itna upset ho jaegi! !!!!
