Heya guys..

It is 50th part of my story. I can't believe my story have completed half century. It is only because of you my beautiful readers. Thank you so much for being with me in this journey. You guys are my strength. Please be with me for the rest of our journey too.

Now back to the story

.................................................................................................................................................

Mannat Mansion @ 8.00 A.M

Kitchen

M6, Soha, Zubin, Amaira and Harshad was in Kitchen so engrossed in cooking.

Yup. Cooking.

Did i told you they are great cooks. Nahi na. So let me tell you. They are great cooks. As they lived seperately from family in Mannat Mansion, and even in London they used to be like this. Not because they don't like to be with family. But because their family want them to be independent. When they told their family about thier descision their mothers was some what not sure about it. But Father's are veey much supportive as they do know their children's capability. But mother's hearts weren't that strong right. But when Amms said yes they didn't have any othet option at all. Their families helped them when they needed something in the begining. But then they themself denied it saying they are capable of managing their expenses.

Mannat was their dream and they acheived it two years before. With their own income. This Mansion has nothing to do with Amets Group. Even though Zubin too contributed to the house, but not using a single penny from Amets. It was his hard earned money which he saved to start up a business by himself.

Then you guys will be thinking what is Amets. It has an entirely different story. Will tell you in some other time.

(I love making you guys impatient with this suspences 😂😂)

Yeah so where was i?

Yeah so they build it according to their wish. Ofcourse they being 7 different individuals and hell stubborn it was very difficult to select the interiors. But then Navya came with an idea, that... Ohooo main bhi na i didn't even told you guys about what M6's careers.

Ohk so lets start with the elder in the group. (Ofcourse after Zubin) Maddhyam Singhania, the person who loves adventures select the best career "Wild Life Photographer". Interesting right? He is in his second years of his photography course. He took up a two year course for it. And yeah his snaps are too good to handle. So he is our wild life photographer.

Then come Abhimanyu Moorthy. Well he wanted to spread smile. So he choose "Social Working". He is a BSW student now.

Then come Kaira Kapoor, She is a B.Arch student in her second year. She loves to creat. Being an "Architect" is what she chose.

Next one is our own Aryaman Khurana. He choosed what he wanted from childhood. A Video Game Developer. As a child he was fascinated with vedio games. So yeah he decided to follow his child hood dream.

Then comes Navya Naveli. She is studying Interior Designing. Creativity, that have in her, and she wanted to nurture it. So she is our interior designor.

Next come Soha Khurana. As we all know she is our fashion diva, She is pursuing her Fashion Dedigning course. She wanted to use her Fashion sense in her career. So Fashion Designor is also done.

Next is our own Nandini Moorthy. Well as she always say she is good in Science. So she choose his Father's path. Being a scientist. It will take almost 12 years to become a scientist. She didn't even started it yet. But she is full determined to be one. As she being Appa's princess, she wanted to become like him.

So this is their career preference. Instead of this they are excelled in one more thing. That is Business. May be because it is in their blood.

But music is their passion. M6 not only done albums but also runs some music institutiin for kids. Under Q Labels. (Q Labels kya hai woh aage aage bata denge). Then there come "Steps" Dance institute. Which run by Aryaman and Nandini. (Uska story bhi in some other time)

So yeah this is M6.

Zubin came to their life in a really tough phase of their life. He was really a big brother for them. If M6 bow their heads infront of someone apart from their parents, then it is Zubin.

(Their meet also will tell in flashbacks)

Amaira came in their life as Zubin's PA as you guys know around 1 and half year. As he or anyone of M6 fired the former once, saying that one is so irritating, so flirty, so much of make up. But she clicked with them instantly. Aryaman was the one who started to be friendly with her first. Or we could say started his flirting. Now they are the bestfriends. Age difference never mattered between them.

( let M6 parents stay mystery for the time being )

So yeah when they fighting to select interiors Navya told them that they will contribute one idea every place.

So Mannat is a blend of their likes. Their world.

So back to kitchen they all are cooking.

So todays menu is

Upma
Chole Bature
Aloo paratha
Paneer butter masala
Pancakes
Grilled sandwitch
Vegitable sandwitch
Rasgullas
Banana caramel cream dessert

Nandini has already prepared her south indian special Upma as everyone were a fan of her south indian dishes. And now was busy in helping Zubin for makinh Banana Caremel cream Dessert. Nandini and Zubin loves desserts. More than that loves to bake. So here they were busy with it.

Aryaman was preparing Aloo Paratha. Yup. He is a great cook when it comes to punjabi foods. Being foody himself, hiw can he never know about Panjabi food. So here he is preparing Aloo paratha.

Kaira was the incharge of Chole Bature. She was almost done with her chole. And was instructing Abhimanyu to roll the dough. So here he was all decorated in dough.

Harshad was busy in his paneer butter masala, as last time he couldn't make it because of his flour stunt. NavNi has clearly ordered him to make it.

And on the otherside Navya was busy with her rasgula's. Her jaan. Well she is a hardcore lover of sweets. Her sweet dishes were always toped their menu.

Then comes Soha who was busy with her hethy veg sandwich with utmost consentration.

While Amaira was busy with grilled sandwich. And Maddy was helping everyone with choping veggies and all.

And above all they were having their friendly time. Its been days they cooked food together. As they were busy with this Malhotra mishap. So they are enjoying their moments.

Maddy : waise Abhi, your make up is so good.

He said suppressing his giggles while others looked at him and giggled.

Abhimanyu : why the hell are you giggling at me?

Nandini : you are covered in flour Abhi. Idhar avo.

She calles him and wiped his face with her hands.

In return she got a cheek kiss from her brother.

Abhimanyu : thank you love.

Nandini : you are welcome bro.

She said and kissed his cheeks too. Two of them continued their cooking after their little bro_sis moment.

Zubin : (to Navya) Navi, how are you feeling after moving out of your "Madhubala" avatar?

Navya : i am relieved now Zubi. Seriously. It was too much.

Soha : tuhi woh makeover kiya tha na.
You know main mujhe toh 1000 watt shock lag gaya tha us din tumhe dekh ke.

Navya : arey ek girl from Patna look like that only na. Main aise thodi na jaa sakthi thi wahan.

She asked showing herself.

Soha : but that was too much.

Aryaman : mujhe toh wahi acha lagtha tha.

He said looking at Navya head to toe.

Kaira : aisa kyun Aru?

Aryaman : arey that her natural beauty. It is full of artificial you know.

He said as a matter of fact.

Navya : what did you say?

She screamed making everyone palm their ears.

Aryaman : wahi ki yeh sab make up hai.

He said showing her face making her scowl. Navya pounced on him at once. Clutching his hairs.

Aryaman : ahhhh chudail chod mujhe... Chod..

He screamed while Maddy came and catch Navya by her waist. But she is Navya Naveli, how can she back out. She didn't leave his hairs. But when Maddy seperated them she started to wriggle in his arms.

Maddy : saanth meri jangli billi. Saanth.

He said making her stand on her feet. But when Navya in kali maa avatar no one can stop her na. She once again pounce on him. This time she even snatched the belan from Abhimanyu's hand.

Seeing this Aryaman started running around the kitchen. Everyone was enjoying the tom and jerry fighting. It went till Aryaman begged her to stop it.

Navya : theek hai. Par you have to do sit up's.

Aryaman : what? Why?

Navya : you just commented on my appearence. Don't you know it is a crime?

She said as a matter of fact.

Harshad : then why you guys always ask every morning. "How am i looking"

He said double quoting it. And recieves a glare from every girls over there.

Navya : that was because we wanted to hear how beautiful we looking. It give us confidence you know. But he was mocking at me. It is a crime.

Amaira : haa.. Navya is right. You have to.

Aryaman : but.

Navya : tu kar raha hai yah sar phod doon?

She asked showing him the belan.

Aryaman : nahi nahi main kar raha hoon.

He said and do sit ups.

Aryaman : 1...2...3...4...

Nandini : arey ache se karo. Bend more.

Soha : haa... Ha.. Bend more.

They saud hiding their giggles which Aryaman clearly seen. Neverthless he bend more down. Ofcorse Navya shows belan once more and he had to do it properly. He done it 15 times and showed a crying face at Nandini as he know he can easily melt her. And bingo she asked Navya to stop her pinishment.

Navya : theek hai.. Now you can continue with your cooking.

She said with full on swag while he wanted to smack her head but as usual he couldn't do anything.

Abhimanyu : Navi baby if you are done then can you kindly give me the belan back. woh kya hai na mujhe aur barure banana hai.

He said sarcastically. Neverthless she gave him the belan back and he contibued his work. But he stoped hearing a shriek from Kaira

Kaira : Abhi. Kya kar raha hai tu? Do it properly na.

Abhimanyu : i am doing properly only.

Kaira : par mujhe nahi dikh raha. Yeh kis desh ki shape hai?

Abhimanyu : Uganda ka.

He said frustratedly as he was fed up with it. He can do anything but rolling the dough. And she has to make him do that only.

Abhimanyu : tumhe pata hai na i donvt know doing this. Then why are you making me do this.

Kairs : (pouting) Aru was busy with Aloo Paratha, otherwise i would have told him to do it.

Abhimanyu : (sighing) ohk now don't make these faces. I will do it.

Kaira : and i want round round batura's.

Abhimanyu : ohk i will make it round round.

He said concentrating more on the shape now. But now the the thickness went rong.

Kaira : Abhi... Mujhe batura's aur thin chahiye. So make it thin.

She said na na order him making him flare his nose.

Abhimanyu : you know what do it your self. I am done.

He said and was going to move away when Kaira hald his hands.

Kaira : no na Abhi, you know na i don't know to do this. Please do it na.

Abhimanyu : main karoonga but you have to shut your mouth and let me do it in my way. Ohk?

Kaira : (pouting) ohk.

Abhimanyu continued to do his work.

They continued their cooking with the necessary nok jokes and leg pulling.

Mukthi and Alia's room.

Alia was sitting in the bed pouting when Mukthi wake up from her sleep.

Mukthi : why are you siting like this.

Alia : mujhe fresh hona hai?

Mukthi : so? Maine kab roka. Go and get fresh.

She said and lied down turning to other round but then opened her eyes with a jolt.

Mukthi : kahi washroom main cockroch toh nahi.

She asked widening her eyes.

Alia : haa hai toh.

She said pissed. But she realised what blunder has shw done when she heared Mukthi's scream. And what she saw was Mukthi jumbing on the bed asking Alia to remove the cockroach.

Alia : ohoo Mukthi please be quiet. You will scare others

Mukthi : first you remove the cockroach from washroom.

Alia : nahi Mukthi.. Wahan..

Mukthi : kyun nahi kar sakthi tum. Dekho i will even come shoping with you but please remove that thingy from there.

Alia : wahan kuch nahi hai Mukthi...

Mukthi : nahiiiiiii..... Move that thingyyyyy......

She screamed once again.

Alia : wahai cockroach nahi hai Mukthi.

Alia shouted making Mukthi to stoo her jumbing nd screeming.

Mukthi : nahi hai..

She asked unsure.

Alia : nahi hai..

Mukthi : then why did you..

Before she could continue they A
heared a loud knocking sound on their door.

Alia : see i told you everyone must be worried.

She said and moved to open the door it was Manik followed by Cabir and Dhruv barged into the room first all worried, followed them there was whole family. Seeing them Alia shot a glare at Mukthi while she only smiked sheepishly.

Manik : Mukthi kya hua? Are you okey?

Mukthi : i am fine

She said meekily as she was scared what will they do after hearing her stunt.

Cabir : fine matlab. You were screaming like anythung. And now telling you are fine. Seriously?

Dhruv : Alia tum batao kya hua tha?

Dhruv asked Alia when he saw Mukthi being silent. Alia was startled when he questioned her. She instantly looked at Mukthi who were pleading her not to say anything. But the stearn look from the boys she uttered everything and anything. The boys were glaring at Mukthi when they heared a laughing sound.

They looked back to see Aryaman laughing holding his stomach. While M6 was trying to make him stop. But no he was going on and on laughing.

Aryaman : seriously you screamed becuase you thought there is a cockroach. Agar tum use sach main dekh liya toh tum poora ghar sar pe uda leta.

He said pausing his laugh and then started it once again. Zubin looked at Soha and she literally dragged Aryaman from there. Well then too they heared his laugh.

Seeing this Cabir chuckled but stoped sweing Manik's glare.

Nandini : hmmm Alia, we will give you the dress.

Alia nodded with small embarressed smile.

Abhimanyu : hmmm Manik, tum log kelie bhi dress bhejta hoon. Dto Raj) Uncle aap kelie bhi.

Maira : aur uske baad come down. Breakfast is ready.

She said with a small smile which lighten uo Cabir's face light a 1000 watt bulb.

Matlab his first love is calling him.

After this everyone walked away. Leaving Fab5 there.

Manik : seriously Mukthi. You screamed just for a cockroach.

Mukthi : it is not a just cockroach Manik. It is a COCKROACH.

She said widening her eyes making him understand what is a cockroach.

Manik : you are insane girl. Totally.

He said making her pout and walked out. Chuckling at her Cabir too followed Manik.

Dhruv : ab don't be sad. It's ohk.

He said before going out.

M6 girls were settling the food when they saw Nyonika coming out. She looked fresh even though her eyes were red and puffy. She looked like she gained some confidence. As if she is ready to face any situation.

Nyonika : good morning bacho.

She wished them with a small smile.

Good Morning Nyoma.

They said together making Nyonika smile.

Nyonika : so breakfast is ready. Wow it is so grant.

She said looking at the dishes. M6 girls looked at eachother. Then Nandini asked.

Nyonika : are you alright Nyoma?

Nyonika : i am Nandini. I won't say ki i am not hurt. I am hurt. But i thought not to hold on to the past and move on. I have done whatever in my hand. So i am relieved.

She said with a small smile making the girls happy.

Abhimanyu : and thats like my Nyoma. So strong as always.

He said when walking to the dining area with the boys.

Aryaman : kyun? Is she going to participate in gusti? So strong. (he said mimiking Abhimanyu) she is my sweet Nyoma.

He said side hugging her.

Abhimanyu : i know that she is sweet. But i meant trong means, Brave. She is so brave to overcome this situation.

She said smacking Aryaman's head.

Aryaman : toh pehle hi bata dena tha na. Why did you speak in language that human don't understand.

Abhimanyu : escuse me . I talked in english. I hope it is a language human speaks. And i don't know what bandar like you speak.

Aryaman : bandar kisko bola? (whom did you call monkey)

Abhimanyu : tujhe you bandar.

Maddy : arey Abhi, don't call him bandar.

He said stearnly making Abhimanyu frown and Aryaman smile in victory. Maddy taking Arya's side yeh kabhi nahi hua (it never happened). Then what happened today?

Harshad : wahi toh. Arey bhai bandar ko bhi ek class hota hai na. ( monkey too have a class right.)

Harshad said as a matter of fact hi_fying with Maddy. Making everyone even Nyonika laugh out loud

Maddy : true that buddy.

He said admiat of his laugh. While it take Aryaman a minute to understand what they meant.

Aryaman : Harshad ke bache... Mujh se panka mat le. Nahi toh rat ko tere kamre main rats ko chod dunga. Phur bataonga tera class kya hai. (don't fight with me. Otherwise i will leave rats on your room at night)

Harshad : tu aake dekh phir tera kamra ko poora zoo bana doonga. (even if you try then i will make your room itself a zoo)

Zubin : arey Harshad isse kuch nahi ho jaega isko. Woh sab iska brothers hai na. (nothing will halpen to him Harsjad, they are his brothers only na)

Aryaman : haa mera brothers hi hai woh.

Zubin : dekha woh hi maan gaya. Dlook he himself accepted it)

Aryaman : kyun nahu maanoonga. (why won't i accept) when you your self told that you guys are animals.

Everyone looked at him not getting his logic.

Aryaman : arey agar animals mera brothers hai, matlab i consider you guys as my brothers na so hogayi na tum log bhi animals. (if animals are my brothers, then i consider you guys as my brothers too. So you guys too become animals right)

He said as a matter of fact and it was the time for the other boys to frown as others are laughing at them.

Boys came and stood around Aryaman who was till now laughing.

Maddy : bahot maza aaya na tumhe. (you have so much fun right)

Aryaman : (gulping) Nahi toh. (no)

Zubin : par ham ab maza karne wala hai. (but we are going to have fun)

He said with a evil smirk.

Aryaman : ka.. Kaise? (how)

Abhimanyu and Harshad : aise. (like this)

They said and started beating Aryaman but Nyonika entered in the fight inbetween much to Aryaman's relief.

Inbetween they failed to Notice Raj. Who was looking at them. He was there from the time Nyonika came there. But he didn't came into the picture as he wanted to know how she is feeling now. And he was happy that she is ateast trying to be normal.

He came there after a minute when he saw they no more talking about that matter. He didn't want Nyonika to feel embarressed.

Nandini : Good morning Mr.Malhotra.

Nandini wished him with a small smile which he returned awkwardly. They were in an awkward moment when they saw Fab5 coming there.

Manik came and saw his parents. One has a guilty expression while one hasn't looked up his face. As if she is feared of doing it.

Yes she is scared. What if Manik still hate her.

But he was determined that he will bring his old mom in her back. He needed her. And he knew, now she too needed him. And he is not gonna ignore her pleeding yes anymore. From now he will be there for her. For forever.

Manik moved to her making her worried. No... She is not ready to face that hatered again.

Nyonika : (bluntly) i... I have to make... Make a call... Will come back in a while

She said stammering and started to move away when she heared, for wjat she has waited for past 7 years.

"MOM"

Yes Manik called her mom after 7 years. Tears rolled down her eyes uncontrolably. She couldn't believe that it is really happening. Her son called her MOM

If It Is A Dream, Then Don't Wake Me Up God. Please...

She prayed to the god or we could say begged. It was a dream moment for her. Too good to be true.

Manik : kya aap mujhse itni naraz hai ki meri shakkal bhi nahi dekhna chahte hai.

He asked painfully. Now he know how it feels when someone ignores you. That tok that person for whom you are their world.

Nyonika instantly turned and looked at Manik who was looking at the floor.
His eyes were teary. Even a traiter tear was succesfull in rolled down.

She slowly walked towards him and cupped his face with her both hands.

Nyonika : please ek aur baar mujhe maa bulao.

She wispered making his tears too roll down freely. Her craving for him was clearly shown in her eyes. What have he done to her?

Manik : Mom.

He wispered once again. Nyonika closed her eyes for a moment still cupping his face. Before looking up and crashing into his chest. His hands instantly wounded around her's taking her in his protective embrace.

She cried out loudly, but this time it was happy tears. She was so happy. After all she got her world back.

She broke the hug after a while.

Nyonika : Manu... Mera Manu...

She wispered caressing his face.

Nyonika : (looking at M6) Navya, Nandu, Aru.. see my Manu... My Manu...

She was repeating the same as if making herslef understand that he is her MANU only. Every person standing there has tears in their eyes. M6 nodded their head telling her that. Yes. It is her Manu only.

Nyonika : you are not angry at me na. Please don't be angry. Mom loves you a lot beta. Loves you a lot. Main kabhi aapko chot pahonchana nahi chahta tha. Main.. Main... Please don't hate me.

She said histerically. Begging at Manik to not hurt her.

Manik instantly cupped her face.

Manik : aap kyun maafi maang raha hai mom? Maafi toh mujh maagna chahiye tha. Aapse aur Harshad se. (why are you saying sorry mom? It is me who have to seek apology to yoy as well as to Harshad)

He said looking at Harshad who instantly looked down. He is not prepared for it. This seeking forgiveness doesn't go well with him. He know this day will come. But could he forgive Manik and Dhruv easily?

Manik sighed and looked back at Nyonika who were looking at him with vulnerable eyes.

She is insecure and she need assurance. He know. And he will give her assurance.

He was determined. She deserve atleast an assurance. The least thing he could do for his mother. Who sacrifised everything for him. Only for him.
