The apartment.
11 : 00 pm.

After saying goodbye to Fab4, I closed the door.

Turning my body, I found Manik leaning on the wall, with his dangerous smirk.

Me ( pov ) ( brain storming session ) : Manik +Drunk +Smirk = Explosive Combination

Me ( confused ) : aise kya dekh rahe ho? ???

Manik ( smirking ) : kuch nehin. ...

Before I could register anything, the Moron Malhotra swiftly scooped me in his arms.

Me ( full panic mode ) : Manik just put me down! !!!!!.....hum gir jaenge! !!!!.....just listen to me. ...

While, I was busy in screaming , the Jerk Malhotra pulled me more closer to his hard rock chest, boiling my blood further.

Abruptly coming to a halt, Manik was busy in gapping at something.

Me ( pissed ) : ab kya hua? ????

Manik ( calmly ) : tumhe kaun se room mein jaana hai? ?????

Me ( Impatiently ) : tumhare room mein hi chalte hai. ....

Manik ( pouting ) : lekin mujhe toh tumhare room mein soona tha! !!!!

Me ( frustrated ) : arrey toh kisi bhi room mein chalo naa! !!!!

Manik ( mischievously ) : naughty girl. ...tumhe room mein jaane ki itni jaldi hai! !!!!!

On hearing this, my eyes popped out.

Me ( pissed ) : I am seriously gonna break your nose. ...so just shut up! !!!!

Manik ( cutely ) : agar tum mera nose break kar dogi. ..toh main accha nehin dikhunga! !!!!

Me ( sarcastically ) : aise hi tumhare good looks ke chalte. ....mujhe FREAKY FANGIRL'S aur PSYCHO LOVER'S se deal karna paddta hai! !!!!.....ab pataa nehin kahi se PSYCHO KILLER bhi naa aa jaye! !!!!!

Manik ( casually ) : psycho lover ka toh pataa nehin. ....lekin main PSYCHO FIANCE  se zarur deal kar raha hu! !!!!

Me ( pissed off ) : tum ne mujhe psycho kaha? ???????????

Manik ( innocently ) : nehin toh. ....main kabhi bhi aisa bol sakta hu kya! !!!!!

Me ( pissed ) : you know what. .....I am seriously gonna murder you! !!!!!

Manik ( sarcastically ) : agar murder kar dogi. ....toh shaadi kis se karogi? ????

Me ( confidently ) : tumhare bhoot se! !!!!!!!

Giving me a horrified expression , Manik moved inside the room and carefully placed me on the bed. While, he laid beside me, looking dog tired.

Ruffling his hair lovingly, I asked " bahut zyaada tired feel ho raha hai kya Baby Malhotra? ?????"

But, instead of replying me that SPIDER MONKEY MALHOTRA, came on top of me.

Manik ( depressed ) : kabhi Baby Malhotra. ...toh kabhi Pervert Malhotra! !!!.....yaar. ...tumne mera kitna saara version nikala hai! !!!!!

Not at all understanding his point, I said " haan toh?????"

Manik ( pissed ) : Nandu. ....pyaar mein log ek dusre ko jaan. ...jaanu. ...shona bulate hai! !!!!....lekin tum. ....tum mujhe Monster Malhotra bulati ho! !!!!....jab meri umar ho jaegi. ...aur by chance agar main taklaa ho gaya. ...toh kya tum mujhe TAKLAA MALHOTRA bulaogi? ?????

I just gapped at Manik in utter shock.

Manik ( childishly ) : aaj toh tum decide kar hi lo. ....tumhe mere kaun se version se shaadi karni hai? ????.....warna baad mein jaake kahi agar confusion ho gaya toh? ???????

Me ( pov ) ( depressed ) : kehte hai. ...ki sharab ke nashe mein insaan hamesha sacch bolta hai! !!!!.....isska matlab. ....Manik joh kuch bhi bol raha hai woh sab sacch hai! !!!!

I pushed Manik away from me.

Taking it as a chance, I sat on Maniks stomach comfortably and started hitting him with the pillow.

Manik ( crying out in pain ) : arrey Nandu maar kyon rahi ho? ?????

Me ( pissed ) : jaan. ...jaanu. ...shona. .....abhi baatati hu. ...

Saying this, I started hitting him even harder.

After bearing my tortures, Manik flipped our position and hovered over me.

Manik( cutely ) : itna gussa kyon ho rahi ho Nandu? ????

Me ( pissed off ) : tumhe kya shaadi se pehele hi divorce chahiye Manik Malhotra? ?????

Manik ( mischievously ) : tum naa dhamki dete waqt bahut sexy laagti ho! !!!!!

Before I could thrash him, the Idiot Malhotra pecked my lips.

Me ( pov ) ( super pissed ) : mere gusse ki toh koi value hi nehin hai! !!!!!

While, Manik was busy in playing with my hair, the cause of this whole situation strikes me.

Me ( over sweetly ) : waise Manik. ....how much did you drink? ?????

On hearing this, Manik gulped down the saliva and nervously replied " maybe ten to fifteen shots. ...only. ..."

Me ( yelling ) : ten to fifteen? ?????.....are you insane? ?????....aise koi karta hai kya? ?????....agar tabiyaat kharab ho gaya toh? ????

My monologue came to an abrupt halt, when Manik out of nowhere said " itna hi pyaar karti ho. ....toh chhod ke kyon gayi thi? ?????????"

I immediately looked at Manik ,whose face just showed pain and hurt.

Cupping Maniks face, I calmly said " main tumhe chhod ke nehin gayi thi! !!!!....bass uss waqt Shalini ka sacch jaan naa zaruri tha. ....."

Sniffing a bit, Manik said " waise. ....Shalini was really hot! !!!"

Here we go again, back to square one.

Rolling my eyes, I smacked Maniks head. While, that Fool Malhotra just giggled.

Taking me in a hug, Manik dipped his face in the crook of my neck.

Before falling asleep, Manik faintly murmured " I love you Nandu. ....please mujhe kabhi chhod ke maat jaana. ...."

Caressing his hair for sometime, I to drifted in a sweet slumber.

Next day.
10 : 00 am.

Opening my eyes with lots of difficulty, I immediately held my head, which was spinning like a hurricane.

Gosh. ....this headache is surely gonna be my death. ...

Sitting up on the bed, I looked at the side table, only to find a glass with lemon juice, already placed over there.

Gulping down the juice in one go, I felt better.

Me ( pov ) ( confused ) : pataa nehin Nandu kaha hai? ????....iss ladki ke dimaag mein kab kya chalta hai. ....kuch samajh nehin ata! !!!!

Nodding my head in disbelief, I moved towards the bathroom to get freshened up.

After taking a bath, I came out wearing a white shirt with black jeans .

Setting my hair, I left from there.

Entering the living room, I found it fully decorated with white balloons. ...looking no less than a dream sequence. ....and my dream girl was standing in front of me. ...wearing a white salwar. .....she was looking like an angel. ...my angel. ....

Kaun mera, mera kya tu laage
Kyun tu baandhe, man ke man se dhaage
Bas chale naa kyun mera tere aage
Kaun mera, mera kya tu laage
Kyun tu baandhe, man ke man se dhaage( looking at Manik lovingly, Nandini sang )

Chhod kar na tu kahin bhi door ab jaana
Tujhko kasam hai
Saath rehna jo bhi hai tu
Jhooth ya sach hai, ya bharam hai
Apna banaane ka jatan kar hi chuke ab to
Baiyan pakad kar aaj chal
Main du bata sabko ( coming towards Manik, Nandini holds his hand )

Kaun mera, mera kya tu laage
Kyun tu baandhe, man ke man se dhaage
Bas chale naa kyun mera tere aage
Kaun mera, mera kya tu laage
Kyun tu baandhe, man ke man se ( kissing Maniks forehead, Nandini ended the song )

At the end of the song, Nandini was sitting on her knees, holding my engagement ring. While, I had tears in my eyes.

Nandini ( lovingly ) : will you marry me? ????

That's it, I couldn't control myself any further.

Dropping on my knees, I took Nandini in a bone crushing hug and started crying.

This is the best moment of my life and I just want to cherish every bit of it.

Nandini ( jokingly ) : don't tell me Manik. ...ki tumhe mujhse shaadi nehin karni!!!!. ...issliye itna roo rahe ho? ????

Without wasting any time, I kissed Nandini, shutting her up for lifetime.

Breaking the kiss, Nandini made me wear the ring. While I just keept on admiring her.

Kal taak main yeh socch raha tha. ...ki maine aapna engagement ring kho diya! !!!!......par main yeh bhul gaya tha. ....ki meri fiance THE GREAT NANDINI MURTHY hai! !!!.....woh humare pyaar ke kisi bhi nishaani ko. ...kabhi khone nehin degi. ....

Finding me inattentive ,to her long lecture on my yesterday's deeds, Nandini said " sirf shaadi ke liye propose kiya. ....toh tum khoye khoye se dikh rahe ho!!!!!. .......shaadi ke baad toh phir gayab hi ho jaoge! !!!!"

On hearing this, I burst out laughing. While, Nandini made a poker face.

After controlling my laughter, with lots of difficulties, I finally asked " waise. ....yeh subha subha mujh pein bomb bhodne ka idea tumhare dimaag mein kaha se aya? ????"

Giving me a sheepish smile, Nandini said " woh darasal. ....engagement ke time hum dono hi talli the! !!!....toh soccha. ....kam se kam shaadi pure hosh mein kar le! !!!!.....so you see. ....precaution is better than cure! !!!!!"

After listening to Nandini's reason, I was only able to mouth " deadly logic. ...."
