In ManPrIa Mansion

In the downstairs..

The kids got ready and were waiting for Nandini to join them for breakfast as she will be dropping them and then NavNi along with Fab 5 will be leaving to ManPrIa music labels..But soon the 3 kids saw a nightmare standing in front of them with creepy eyes..The kids looked back at Rangeela who opened the door for the person and was grinning at the kids while they glared at him and looked at each other..

Manvik ( muttered ): Mar gaya..

Prathik ( annoyed ): Why the hell is he in our home..?

Mia ( glared ): As if you don't know..Khabar lene aaya hai..

Navya who heard the kids talk just giggled and went forward to the person..

Navya ( smiled ): Have a seat Sir..

The man took a seat..

Man: Where is NM..?

Navya: She will be here soon..Would you like to have something..?

Man: Uh..just a cup of tea..

She nodded and asked Rangeela to call Nandini and went to kitchen to ask the servants to make tea..

In the upstairs..

While here Fab 5 and Abhi got ready to leave and was waiting for Nandini to come out..That's when Rangeela came upstairs and knocked on Nandini's room..

Rangeela: Nandu beta..

Nandu: Ji Captain..

Rangeela: Neeche bachon ka School Principal aaya hai..

Nandini ( huffed ): Phir se..teek hai..mein aathi hoon..

Rangeela said 'okay' and went downstairs and at the same time Nandini came out looking elegant in a business formal dress..

While Manik was looking at her with open mouth..He thought she wears short dresses only inside the house but she is wearing even during her office times too..He rubbed his eyes many times to confirm whether he is dreaming or not..

Nandini saw Fab 5 staring at her while she looked confused..

Nandini: Aap log mujhe ghoor kyu rahe hai..?

Alya ( hugged her ): Cause you are looking stunning..

Nandini ( smiled ): Thank you..

Mukti ( side hugged her ): Tho chale..wese bhi neeche ek , umm kids kya bulathe the..Haa nightmare..nightmare is waiting for you downstairs..

Cabir ( confused ): Nightmare..how come a nightmare can wait for a person..

Abhi ( grinned ): You will find out in the downstairs..

Nandu ( looked at Mukti ): Waise Mukti..Ayaan kaha hai..Alish ko bhi mene dekha nahi..

Alya ( surprised ): Tumhe Alish ke bare mein bhi patha hai..

Nandini ( smiled ): Haa..mukti aur Bhai uske baarein mein bohat baath karthe hai..

Abhi ( smiled ): Wo dono so rahe hai..Actually kal unn donon ko bhukar tha..stomach upset..isiliye bahar nahi aaye..

Nandu ( tensed ): Kya..aur aap ab batha rahe hai..donon teek tho hai na..mein bhi na..bhool hi gayi thi..Ayu always gets sick whenever he comes to Australia..I didn't know that Alish also has the same problem..Alya..wo tek hai na..

Dhruv ( smiled ): Arey meri ma..sab teek hai..ek din rest karna hai un donon ko..which they did yesterday..now they will wake up today and you can see your house upside down..

Nandini ( smiled ): My 3 babies are the most Shaytaani type, but still the house is in one piece..tho Ayu and Alish won't be a harm for it..

Cabir ( confused ): Ayu..?

Mukti ( smiled ): Ha..Nandu Ayaan ko Ayu bulathi hai..

They smiled at her and went downstairs to see the 3 Malhotra kids standing in front of the Principal with an ' annoyed ' look on their faces..

Nandini went to the Principal and faked a smile at him..He was a big time flirt and so he grinned after seeing her which was noticed by Manik..

Nandini: Hello Mr. Reed..

Reed ( grinned ): Hello NM..glad to meet you..

She just nodded and sat on the couch which was facing the one where Mr. Reed was sitting..

Nandini ( straightforwardly ): So, why are you here..? We just had a P-T meeting 2 weeks back..

Reed ( smiled ): Ahh..Miss NM..

But he was cut off by the boys..

Manvik ( sternly ): Mrs..

Reed ( glared ): I am speaking to her..

Prathik ( glared ): And we are speaking to you S.I.R that its Mrs..She is married..

Manik who wasn't liking the way Reed was talking to Nandini angered him and upon that he was addressing her Ms when she was already married pissed him to no extent and he was about burst on him but thanks to his sons..They were extra possessive for their mother and interrupted Mr. Reed..

Reed looked at Nandini who was just smiling at her sons..She was upset with Manik, in fact she didn't want to forgive him but the fact that she was married was not at all a secret..Australian business world knew that NM was already married but got separated with her husband and have 3 kids..She always said to the world that she was married whenever someone thinks that she isn't..

Nandini ( attitude ): Mr. Reed..come to the point now..Why are you here..?

Reed ( faked a smile ): Uh..actually..I have got complaints against your kids..

Nandini sighed while the kids just made faces..

Manvik ( annoyed ): Iss budhe ke paas aur koi kaam hi nahi..

Mia ( scratched her head ): Bhayyu, ye principal tho 40 ke hai na..

Prathik ( glared ): Yaha hume kacha chaba banane keliye aaya hai iss budhe ne aur tujhe uske umar ki padi hai..

Mia ( annoyed ): Agar iss Principal 40 ka hai tho buddhe kaise hoga..aap dono pagal ho chuke hai kya..

Manvik ( irritated ): Tu kithne saal ki hai..?

Mia ( glared ): Aap jithne saal ki hai uthne saal ki..

Prathik ( sarcastically ): Wow, mathlab tu bhi 9 saal ki hai..mujhe tho patha hi nahi tha..welcome to 9 years partners..

Manvik ( pissed ): Chup kar dono..Agar tum 9 saal ki hai aur ye 40 ka hai tho ye ho gaya na budha..

Mia ( pissed ): 40 saal ke insaan kaha se budha lagtha hai yaar..

Prathik ( glared ): Wo budha hai ya jawaan, tujhe kya farak padthi..

Mia made a bad face and listened to the conversation between her mother and the Principal..While Fab 5 and Abhi who were standing behind the kids were giggling silently after hearing their conversation..

Nandini ( sighed ): May I know what are the complaints..

Reed ( nodded ): Oh yes, that's why I am here..Your elder son Manvik Malhotra has punched Andy again..

Nandini sighed again and then looked at her left to see Manvik looking here and there..

Nandini ( glared ): Care to explain Mr. Manvik Malhotra..

The way she addressed their sons made Manik's heart dance in happiness..She can't forgive him but the way she accept that she is already taken and the way she calls her kids with his surname gave him a hope, hope of getting her back, winning his kids' heart..

Manvik ( grinned ): Umm..Actually..Mom..

Nandini ( glared ): Speak up Mr. Malhotra..

Mia was standing there with a confused look on how to save her brother while Prathik got the idea and shouted immediately..

Prathik: He tried to harm us..

Nandini ( surprised ): Harm you..? How..?

Mia ( got the point ): Ya Mom, remember the cycle race which Bhayyu and Bhai won ( she nodded )..Andy had made a pit in the cycle race area so that they fall in the pit and get hurt and lose in the race..

Prathik ( faked innocence ): Exactly Mom..We could have got hurt Mom..so Manvik punched him to make him learn that one shouldn't win by harming his opponent..

Manvik nodded with a puppy face. While Nandini who was calm till now got angry thinking that her babies could have got hurt..They would have had bruises all over their bodies just because of that stupid boy Andy's hatred for them..She looked at Reed in extreme anger while the poor soul could just gulp in fear..

Nandini ( glared ): Now, who is to be blamed Mr. Guilvin Reed...??

Reed ( stuttered ): Uh..NM..I..I didn't..know..

Nandini ( sarcastically ): Of course you wouldn't..If someone complains about my kids then you would be in front of me to take the life out of them but if my kids complain about someone then its utter non sense..right..??

Reed ( wiped his sweat ): No..No..Mam..Uh I didn't know the..the reason..I am sorry..and Manvik..why didn't you tell me..?

Manvik ( faked sweetness ): Oh sir..you were really angry on that day then how am I supposed to say the reason..you said ' no excuses '..Didn't you sir..?

Nandini glared at Reed why he gave an apologetic smile and Fab 5 and Abhi were just giggling at his condition..

Nandini ( gritted her teeth ): One more time that stupid kid harm any of my kids then I wouldn't mind to seal your school..And you know I can do it..Don't you..?

Reed ( stuttered ): Yes..yes mam..sure..He won't do anything..

Nandini ( nodded ): Fine..you can leave then..

Reed was just sitting there thinking what to do..The complaints list were not done yet..

Nandini ( confused ): Now what..?

Reed ( scared ): uh..NM..my..my complaints list isn't..over..yet..

Nandini ( sighed ): Go on, but better be something genuine..

Reed ( nodded ): Sure, uh..its about your daughter..She pricked a guy's finger with her pencil and it was bleeding..I had to work hard to convince his parents that it was only a prank..

Nandini looked at Mia in ' not again baby sahiba ' look..While Mia was thinking what to do..Her brothers didn't want her to get scolded so Manvik started his drama..

Manvik: He proposed her..

Nandini's eyes went wide and so Manik's..

" What " echoed in the mansion..

Prathik ( nodded ): Ya mom..that guy has proposed Mia..we have warned him not to go near her but he didn't listen..So Mia had to prick his finger so that he won't come near her again..Mr. Reed..you were the one who taught us that we shouldn't let anyone into our privacy..She did the same thing..

Mia for the whole time was just looking at her brothers in shock while Manvik who turned back to laugh after hearing Prathik's short story was noticed by Fab 5 and so they got to know it was their made up story..

Reed ( nodded ): Very good..you really did the best Mia..he shouldn't have come back of you even getting rejected many times..such a shameless guy..

Nandini just nodded in disbelief..

Nandini ( sarcastically ): Anymore complaints..

Reed ( nodded ): One more NM..Prathik..He poured water on the floor and Lilly, a student slipped and fell on the floor..She said he did it purposely..

Nandini ( glared ): Now, why was it for Prathik Malhotra..?

Prathik didn't know what to answer..

Manvik ( looked at prathik ): Why are you hiding Prathik..?

Prathik looked at him confused..

Manvik: Arey, you only told me that she has made a hole under a tree by cutting it and burned a plant..

Reed ( shouted ): What..?

Prathik and Mia who got to know his plan smirked and continued..

Mia ( dramatically ): Oh yes Bhai..you have told me too..Lilly has cut a tree and she made a hole under it to burn the plant..She did it so that others will point their fingers at you both since you are famous in the school..Andy was the one who told her..I have listened to their talks after she complained to principal sir..

Reed ( angry ): What the hell..she burnt a plant..

Prathik ( nodded ): Your own school's plant sir..

Reed ( pissed ): My own plant..Doesn't she know that I love plants..I take care of them like they are my children..How dare she..I will show her whom she messed with..( he shed tears ) My plants..oh god..how would have they felt when they got burnt..

Nandini was just sitting there with her left hand on her forehead..She knew these all were jsut stories..While Fab 5 stood there in shock..Even they didn't have played such pranks with their teachers in schools..

Dhruv ( whispered ): Buddy..ye tho prove kardiya ki Manik Malhotra ke bache hai..

Manik ( surprised ): I am shocked..Mujhe laga inn dono ko sirf mere gussa mila par nahi..ye theeno mujhse bhi aage nikhla..

Nandini ( annoyed ): You can shed tears later on..Is there anymore complaint Mr.Reed..?

Reed ( stopped crying): No Mam..

Nandini ( faked smile ): Thank you..I need to leave..

Reed nodded and got up..He forwarded his hand to shake her hand but she just smiled and said' Good bye ' for which he nodded with a bad face and went away..

Nandini ( glared ): Now..Miss Mia Malhotra..will you explain why you pricked that boy's finger and Mr. Prathik Malhotra..why did you let that girl slip on the floor..

Mia ( cutely ): That boy's mom is your opponent..Mrs. Jennifer..she is jealous of you so he was making fun of you in front of me so I had to do it..Sorry Mumma..

She could just smile at her..

Manvik ( angry ): What..he was making fun of mom..

Prathik ( pissed ): Aur tu ab batha rahi hai..

Mia ( irritated ): I pricked his finger na..His forefinger was bleeding, he wouldn't open his mouth again..

Nandini knelt down in front of her kids..

Nandini ( sweetly ): Mia..I am a businesswoman so I would be having opponents and some will be bad but it doesn't mean that I would do what they do to me..Uss ladke ne jo bhi kiya uss ke against tum bhi agar uske tarah nikli tho tum donon ke beech koi difference nahi rahega..but you are different from him..cause you are my baby..you are the best daughter one could ask for so let them say it..Once they find out that you are ignoring them then they will stop it..Just don't make issues..okay..?

She smiled and kissed Nandini's cheeks and nodded in Yes..

Nandini: Prati..

Prathik ( grinned ): Mom..she was talking rudely with Mia on our cycle race day..So I was just showing her real place..

Nandini ( sighed ): You could have warned her not to talk like that na..why did you make her slip..she would have got hurt..

Manvik ( coolly ): Mom, nobody has the right to speak to our sister like that..

Nandini ( smiled ): So, you decided to punish them..Andy and Lilly..huh..?

ManPr: Yup..

Nandini ( sighed ): God..help me..I hate you God..

ManPrIa ( grinned ): And we love you too..

Manvik and Prathik kissed her cheeks while Mia kissed her forehead making her smile..While others adorned their bonding..Manik felt so happy at that time..He could see his Nandu in her when she is with their kids..And the happiness and love she give to their kids couldn't be given by any other woman..He prayed for that day to come when they 5 could live together..happily..
