How does it feel to be helpless..??

Oh yeah, that's a good question. Because, that's something humans face at least once in a day of their lives. If, he doesn't then either he's way too happy or he simply doesn't care about his surroundings.

You feel helpless when you know that something wrong is happening, yet, he can't do anything. He's helpless. He simply has to watch it happening.

Sometimes, people try to fight against their problems though they were helpless before. But, that feeling would be out of the world.

Being helpless and then clearing it off with your own hands is a feeling to be proud of, after all everyone aren't that courageous.

Manik Malhotra did a mistake by venting all his anger on his wife, when she was nowhere at fault. Anger, is seriously something to be controlled, which is why, he's been sulking..err sulking..?? Grumpy turned into Sulk Baby..??

In Malhotra Mansion

Dining Hall

Nyonika was seated on her chair in between Raj and Nandini as her Dr. daughter-in-law preferred to become professional instead of the lady Malhotra, for tonight.

Nandini ( serious face ): Grand Pa, I want to know something important form you..

Raj ( confused ): And, what is it..??

Nandini ( frowned ): You need to be honest, was Mom 10 years old when you married her..??

Raj and Nyonika looked at her horrified while the youngsters were looking at Nandini with jaws dropped down..

Raj: What..!!!!

Nandini ( palmed her ears ): Ek tho aapke bete ne mere kaan pe chillake chillake laal banaya hai ab aap unn bechare kaan ko bluish karwane ke koshish math keejiye. Doctor hoon par iska mathlab ye nahi ki kuch bhi cure kar sakthi hoon..

Manik glared at her, finally, as he was busy in sulking, till now..

Raj: Arey, tum sawal bhi aisa hi kuch pooch liya na..

Nandini: Arey what was wrong in my question..?? If you happen to marry a child then it means that person has lost his/her childhood which will irritate the hell out of him/her and they might even become childish in the future. Aur aapki beewi ko dekhke mujhe yahi lagtha hai. I mean, kithne der se mein unse ye soup peene keliye keh rahi hai aur patha nahi kithne tantrums dikha rahe hai. Choti bachi ko bhi bas ek bar oonchi aawaz mein kehdo tho kaam is done..par Nyonika Malhotra bann chuki hai a toddler..

Nyonika ( bad face ): Tum mujhse soup peene keliye keh rahe ho, pastry nahi..

Nandini ( sarcastically ): Haa haa..mein aapko pastry hi de doongi jab subah wahi cheez khane ki wajah se epinephrine thak inject karna pada aapko..Ab tho mujhe patha chal gaya ki aakhir Grumpy Coffee kaise bana hai ithna khadoos..

Manik glared at her again. Cabir and Mukti giggled.

Mukti: Bhabi, ye tho kuch bhi nahi. Jab koi inhe medicine dega thab dekhna hai inke tantrums ke level..God..!!

Nandini ( casually ): Achi baath hai tumhe koi choti behen ya bhai nahi hai warna kya kya seekhege wo bechara baby apni Mom se..

Nyonika turned red in embarrassment while Raj was smirking..

Raj: Waise idea bura nahi hai..

Nandini ( sighed ): Grand Pa, zyada sochne ke zaroorath nahi hai. Ab agar aap ek aur baar papa bane tho mere saath saath wo baby bhi aapko Grand Pa hi bulaega aur mujhe tho cute babies pasand hai, oldie nahi hona chahiye koi babies, aap jaise oldie ki baby oldie hi hoga na..

Raj widened his mouth while others chuckled except Manik who was still sulking. This Grumpy Coffee..

Manik ( thought ): Ke ke ke..Ismein ithne hasne ke kya bath hai. Dad tho iske favorite ban chuka hai ki beizati hamesha inke hi karthi rehthi hai ye Lilliput. Haa tho kar na beizati, mein kaha rok raha hoon. Par iska mathlab ye tho nahi ki mujhe ignore kar sakthe. Har din mere saath beitthe hai dinner ke waqt aur aaj mujhe chod diya, mathlab mere koi fikar hi nahi isko..

Nandini: Mom, ab jaldhi peeyo, warna kal mein Grand Pa ko aapke kamrein mein bandh karoongi phir aapke over romantic husband ko mauka hi mila hai..kya kehthe hai..

Nyonika widened her eyes in shock while Raj palmed his face in embarrassment and the kids were enjoying the show. Nyonika snatched the bowl of soup from Nandini's hand and started to drink without any protests..

Mukti ( stunned ): Bhabi, you be the best..

Nandini ( coolly ): I'm already best, forever..

Mukti giggled with Nandini while Cabir too smiled after seeing his mother getting well. Manik too looked at his mother and wife, whose bond was growing a lot beautiful than anyone might have imagined.

Soon, they were done with the dinner and Raj took Nyonika to their room and placed her on the bed followed by Nandini with a glass of milk.

Nandini: Mom, mujhe bohath bura lag raha hai phir bhi aapko ye peena hi chahiye..

She made a bad face while looking at the glass of milk and forwarded it to Nyonika who was also pouting at it sadly. She took it from her hand and then nodded in No while looking at Nandini.

Nandini: Arey fikar math karo, jab aap ye peeogi na tab aap aapke life ke most beautiful moment ke barein mein socho tab ye milk apne aap hi galle se andhar jayega..

Nyonika drank the whole milk in a go after thinking about the most beautiful moment of her life making the rest shock, including her own kids who knew how much she hated milk.

Cabir: Mom, aisa bhi kaunsa beautiful moment hai aapki zindagi mein..

Nyonika ( smiled ): When I got to know I was pregnant for the first time in my life..

And she looked at Raj and Manik who were smiling at her..

Nandini ( shrugged her shoulders ): Mere har ek patient ke chehra yaad hai mujhe when I used to annouce that they were pregnant. So, I can know how happy you'll also be..

Nyonika ( smiled ): Even you're a girl so one day, you'll also get to know the feeling of bearing your Love's baby in you..

Nandini gaped at Nyonika while Manik looked at Nandini and then looked away while biting his lips but what he didn't notice was the red hue present on his cheeks..

Nandini ( grinned ): Good night, Mom, Grand Pa, Cabir Bhai and Choti..

And she ran out of the room making others giggle except Manik who was trying hard not to react..

Mukti: She's so cute, Mom..

Nyonika ( smiled ): I know..

Manik walked towards Nyonika and knelt down in front of her and she looked away. He held her hand in his and caressed them and kept his head on her lap..

Manik: Mom, I'm sorry. I know, I shouldn't have spoken like that. But, I was so angry that I didn't know what I was speaking. I mean it Mom, I'm really sorry for what I did.

He raised his head upwards and looked at Nyonika who was having a small smile on her lips..

Nyonika: You realized your mistake, which is enough for me but not for Nandini, because you were at fault and she had to bear it. So, you need to apologize to her, not to me.

Manik ( unknowingly ): Arey, I did apologize to her bu...

" What...!!! " echoed Cabir, Mukti and Raj in unison with shock written faces. While Nyonika was gaping at her son..

Cabir: Come again, Bhai..

Manik palmed his face on realizing what blunder he did..

Mukti ( palmed her cheeks ): You apologized..?? Manik Malhotra apologized to a human being..??

Cabir: No, Manik Malhotra apologized to an animal..

Manik ( glared ): What the fish..!! Have you lost it, Cabir. Of course, Nandini is a human being..

Cabir and Mukti raised their eyebrows while Raj and Nyonika were still shocked..

Cabir: Whoa..Someone sound so possessive.

Mukti: And someone just changed his favorite phrase" What the fish instead of hell " improvement hai mathlab..

Manik glared at both of them.

Manik: Shut up, jab bath karne ka thareeka nahi aathe hai tho bath karna hi nahi chahiye..

Cabir: I can't believe it. Mere Bhai ne unke Lilliput se apologize kiya..

Manik ( growled ): Cabir.....

Cabir chuckled..

Mukti ( frowned ): Lilliput..??

Cabir: Arey, jaise Bhabi ne hamara Bhai ko ek naam diya waise hi Bhai ne bhi hamari Bhabi ko ek naam diya. Mrs. Lilliput Malhotra..

Mukti looked shocked first but then started laughing and Manik was only scowling at them..

Nyonika: Acha hogaya na..Cabu chup hoja..Manik..did she forgive you..??

Manik ( pouted ): Kaha ke forgive kiya, Mom. Usne kaha ki I'm not at all guilty for what I did instead I'm apologizing only because I didn't know that her parents were no more..Ab aap hi bathayiye Mom, meri galathi tho uske parents aur uske rishthe ko misunderstand karne ke tha na phir kya chahthi hai wo..

Nyonika and Raj observed Manik keenly and they literally wanted to hug him, but they controlled themselves.

Nyonika: Manik, galathi tumne ki hai tho apne galathi sudharna hai tho dil se chaho, tum samaj paoge ki aakhir tumhari galathi kya tha..

Manik nodded and kissed her forehead and moved out after giving a side hug to Mukti while, Nyonika finally let her tears to fall out..

Nyonika: I saw a glimpse of my old Manu in him, Raj. My baby is returning back to me..

Raj hugged her from sideways while Mukti and Cabir too were immensely happy after seeing the changes in Manik..

In MaNan's Bedroom

While here for Nandini, she had just come out of the bathroom after a cold shower, just like usual days, when she heard her favorite ringtone from her mobile.

" Choti calling..Choti calling.." and Nandini ran towards her phone and swiped to answer the call while keeping it on speaker and continued with her job, drying her hair with the towel.

Nandini: Tera boyfriend tujhe chodke chala gaya kya jo mere paas aayi hai, madam..

Choti: Di..aap teek tho hai na..??

Nandini ( shrugged her shoulders ): Haa, kyu..kisine tujhse phone karke bathaya kya ki teri Di aaj Honey bee ko maarne keliye nikal chuki thi..

Choti ( irritated ): Di, seedhe seedhe bath kyu nahi karthi aap..??

Nandini: Oye, tho mein kya ab U-turn leke bath kar rahi hoon..??

Choti ( sighed ): Mein tho bhool hi gayi thi meri Di koi maamuli insan nahi thi. Par, sach sach bathao, aap aaj sad thi kya..??

Nandini ( smiled ): Nandini Malhotra kabhi sad nahi hothi meri choti sahiba, hamesha bindass lagthi hoon..

Choti ( giggled ): Wo tho mujhe patha hai, waise Malhotra se yaad aayi, mere Jeejs kaise hai..

Nandini ( casually ): Wo tho abhi bhi Grumpy Coffee hi hai..

And that was the moment, when Manik entered their bedroom but then halted in his tracks when he heard her speaking on phone, especially about him..

Choti ( confused ): Aap unhe Grumpy Coffee kyu bulathe ho Di..??

Manik ( thought ): Lagtha hai poore dunya ke samne ab mera naam Manik Malhotra nahi balki Grumpy Coffee hi hai. Waise ye hai kaun..?? Lilliput ko Di bula rahi hai tho behen hona chahiye par Dad ne kaha she's an orphan..phir..??

Nandini ( bad face ): Arey tum nahi janthe ho ki kithne Coffee peethe hai wo grumpy insaan. Mathlab, kya achai hai uss Kaala Pani mein..

And her sister giggled while Manik was busy glaring at her back..He turned behind and closed the door without making any noise and settled on the bed with his laptop.

Choti ( giggled ): Mathlab jis ladki ko coffee se beintehaa nafrath hai usse ladki ki shadi ek aise ladke se hua jisko coffee se beintehaa mohabbat hai. Kya bath hai..

Nandini ( scowled ): Teri shadi hui nahi na. Mein dua karthi hoon ki teri shadi ek aise insan se hoja jo tujhe har din sathathe rehthe hai. Kabhi chain se rehna hi nahi detha..

Manik stared at her with wide opened mouth in shock..

Choti ( fake sobbed ): Kaisi behen hai aap..Mathlab, apni behen ki shadi kisi chomu ke sath karwana chahthi hai..

Nandini: Wo chomu hoge ya nahi, ye tujhe kaise patha..haw, don't tell me tune already boyfriend bana liya. Yar, ye tho galath bath hai, kaun hai wo fattu..??

Choti ( giggled ): Arey shant meri jungli billi Di, koi bhi fattu nahi hai, sabke sab hotshots hai. Koi cute ladka mili hi nahi, bechari mein..

Nandini ( pouted ): I can understand. Mujhe bhi nahi mili..

Manik ( thought ): Tho mein kaun hoon..sadak se mili kya usse..??

Choti: Haw, tho mere jeeju..??

Nandini bit her tongue, why didn't she take care of it..? After all, her sister doesn't know about her Di's marriage being contract based..So, she thought of diverting her sister's mind.

Nandini: Arey, wo Grumpy Coffee thodi cute hain..Khair chod, ye batha ki tere studies kaise chal rahe hai..

Choti ( sadly ): Teek chal rahe hai Di..

Nandini: Ab tere shakal pe baara kyu baj rahe ho..

Choti ( low voice ): I'm missing you..

Nandini sighed in defeat..

Nandini: Choti sahiba, tujhe patha hai na tere studies complete karni hai tujhe aur yaha India se bhi zyada ache sources waha hain. Jaise studies poore hojayenge waise hi Di ke paas rahe gi tu..

Choti ( whined ): Jo bhi ho, mujhe aapki bohath yaad aathi hain..

Nandini: Arey tho nikal na tere phone aur mere ek photo click karo aur ghoorthe raho, mere har ek feature study karo, jaise sab kuch by-heart hothe hai na, soja, phir agle din yahi karna phir tujhe mein hamesha apne dimaag aur dil mein nazar aaoongi..

Choti ( giggled ): Meri Di single piece hai..patakha item hai baba..

Nandini: I know, aakhir mein ithni intelligent jo hoon..

She heard her giggles again which made her smile and seeing her smiling, Manik too smiled. He found peace in it.

Choti: Chalo, teek hai, rakhthi hoon. Mujhe college keliye nikalna hai..

( Don't get confused , Nandini's sister is staying out of India so the time difference will be huge )

Nandini: Teek hai, tu phone rakh aur haan ache se padai karke mere naam roshan kar, warna teri shadi kisi chomu se hi hogi..

Choti ( horrified ): Aapka naam kya har ek body part bhi roshan kardoongi mein..Bu-bye..

Nandini: Achi baath hai, waise bhi mein hoon ek proud hone ke cheez. Bu-bye..

Choti: Acha Di, aur ek baath..

Nandini ( smiled ): Bol choti sahiba..

Choti ( grinned ): I love you and good night..

Nandini ( giggled ): And I love you way too more than a romeo could love his juliet and good morning..

She heard her favorite giggles and soon she ended the call and turned behind only to see Manik staring at her with a shocked look on his face.

Nandini ( frowned ): Tum kab aaya..??

This brought Manik out of his trance..

Manik: Uh, jab tum..jo bhi ladki ho uss phone pe, usse bath kar rahi thi..

Nandini ( glared ): Wo jo bhi ladki nahi, meri behen hai..

Manik ( raised his eyebrows ): Tumhein behen hain..??

Nandini ( shrugged her shoulders ): Haa, kyun..nahi hona chahiye..

She walked to the bed after keeping the towel on a clothe tripod, and slumped beside Manik while maintaining a safe distance between them..

Manik: Par Dad said, you were..an..or..

Nandini ( interrupted ): Orphan..you don't need to stammer this much to complete that word. I don't have any problem in telling it because I do know who my parents are, it's just they are no more. Aur rahi baath meri behen ki tho, orphan ka mathab ye nahi siblings nahi ho sakthe..

She kept the barrier a.k.a cushions in between them which now, started to irk Manik, suddenly.

Manik: Oh..um..she's the only sibling you have or..??

Nandini ( coolly ): Oh yeah, she's the only one I have. We are just 2 kids for our parents.

Manik: Kya karthi hai wo..? As in, what she's studying for..??

Nandini ( furrowed her eyebrows ): Tum ithna kyu pooch rahe ho..? Agar uspe line maarne keliye hai tho already batha rahi hoon, tumhari behen ki umar hai..

Manik ( shocked ): What the hell..!!

And Nandini glared at him making him shut his mouth the next second..

Manik: Uh..koi..aisa kuch kehthe hai kya..apne hi husband se pooch rahe hai ki uski beewi ki behen ko line maar rahe hai ki nahi..

Nandini: Oho, ab ithna hungama math kar. Mein tho pehle se hi bol rahi thi. Aur meri choti tho tumhe already Jeeju kehthe hai, isiliye precaution le rahi thi.

Manik ( scowled ): Bohath hi bhayanak precaution tha..

Nandini: Precaution bhi bhale hi bhayanak ho sakthe hai, ye mein pehli baar sunn rahi hoon..

She laid on the bed and switched off the lights while he switched it on making her irritate..

Nandini: Kya hai..

Mnaik: Mein kaam kar raha tha..

Nandini: Mene pehle bhi keh diya hai aur ab phirse keh rahi hoon, I can't dance for you if you're working..

Manik ( annoyed ): Jab koi kaam kartha hai tho usse disturb nahi karna chahiye..

Nandini: Jab koi so rahi hai tho usse bhi disturb nahi karna chahiye and FYI, I'm gonna fall in my dreamland within 10 minutes..

Manik: Koi time rakhke batha sakthi kya ki kab sonewala hai..

Nandini: Mein keh sakthi hoon..

Manik simply pulled his hair in frustration. She was about to switch off the lights when he held her hand taking her in surprise.

Manik: You didn't tell me..

Nandini: Tell what..??

Manik ( hesitatingly ): Am I..I..forgiven..??

Nandini ( expressionless ): For what..??

Manik ( sighed ): Nandini, whatever happened today..I've already apologized..

Nandini: Yes, you did. But you didn't apologize for what you did. Now, leave my hand. Mujhe tumpe bharosa hi nahi, kya patha kuch ulta seedha kar liya tho..meri izzat pe hath dalne ke koshish ki tho poori zindagi childless rahoge tum..

Manik left her hand immediately and she smile at him widely while switching off the lights and turned to the other side..

Nandini: Have a good night, Grumpy Coffee..

Manik ( still scared ): I'm sleeping..

And they slept, one with her usual bindass attitude while the other one was confused, what exactly was his mistake..???

Next Day

The Malhotras were having breakfast when Manik's friends barged inside the Mansion..

Arijit: Nyonika Aunty...

Abhi: Aunty..kaha hai aap..

" Yaha hoon mein.." they heard Nyonika's voice and moved towards the direction only to see her having her breakfast. They ran and hugged her tightly making her smile..

Shravan: Aunty..aap..aap teek tho hai na..hua kya tha..Aaj Manik Bhai ne phone kiya tha aur tabhi patha chala ki aap beemar hai..

Arijit: Aunty, aap kuch bol kyu nahi rahe hai..

Abhimanyu: Haa Aunty, koi chot tho nahi aayi aapko..

Nyonika: Oho chup hoja pehle, mujhe bolne tho dho..

They nodded at her still with worried faces..

Nyonika: Pehli baath, mein teek hoon aur doosri bath, mere koi chot nahi hui kyunki allergic attack se chot nahi aa sakthe, except for some rashes..

Shravan: Allergic attack..? Aap peanuts tho khathe nahi, phir kaise..

Raj: Of course, par kal madam ko khane ka mann kiya, jaise cake dekh liya waise khaa liya, socha hi nahi anjaam kya hoga..

Arijit: Cake..? Mom ke allergy ke barein mein patha hai na aap sabko..phir cake kyu banayi aur kisne banayi..

And, even his gaze traveled to Nandini after remembering how she has prepared cake 2 days back.

Manik ( expressionless ): Muku ne banayi thi, buddy. She wanted me to taste her cake par Mom khaa liya usse pehle..

Manik has noticed his murderous gaze on Nandini and the reason could only be known to his buddy.

Abhimanyu ( sighed ): Mukti, tujhe patha hai na Aunty ke allergy ke barein mein. You could have hid it somewhere..

Mukti looked down while getting sad and Abhimanyu cursed himself for it. Nandini stared at Abhi with a disbelieving look on her face..

Nandini: Mukti se kehke nahi khayi tho wo cake, Mom ne. So, usse daant ke kuch nahi milega aapko..

Abhimanyu: Arey, mein thodi daant raha tha..

Nandini: Yeah right. Aur mein ithni der se deaf thi..

Arijit: Tum agar deaf hothi tho muh bhi band kiya hojathi, aur bhi achi bath hoga..

Nandini: Jaise ki mene aapse kehdiya ki mein aapki poori zindagi barbad karke hi rahoongi. Kyu..

Arijit: Kehne ke kya zaroorath hai..Dikh raha hai mujhe..

Before they could continue more they heard another voice.." Aunty.."

Everyone saw a girl walking towards Nyonika and hugging her and Nandini sighed while shrugging her shoulders and concentrated in her breakfast..

Nandini ( thought ): Badi aayi, aaj mere phone bhi nahi uthayi Mruno ki bachi aur ab ghar pe pohanch gayi. Nahi bathkarne wali hoon mein..

Nyonika ( surprised ): Mrunal beta, aap yaha..

Mrunal smiled and hugged her from sideways..

Mrunal: Arey fluffy ne kaha aap bimar hai, isiliye socha aapse milke jaaoon..

Nyonika ( confused ): Fluffy..

Mukti ( smiled ): Bhabi ki nickname hai, Mom..

Mukti said while hugging Mrunal and Nyonika smiled in understanding..

Mrunal: Waise, kaise hai aap, ab Aunty..

Nyonika ( smiled ): Teek hoon beta, ab koi problems nahi hai. Tum bhi aaja na, breakfast sath mein karthe hain..

Mrunal: Nahi Aunty, agar pet bhar gaya tho kaam karne mein koi maza hi nahi, waise bhi mote pet se kaam karna granda pas ke kaam hai..

Raj ( stunned ): You mean, mere mote pet hai..??

Nandini giggled and so Mukti, Cabir and Shravan..

Mrunal ( frowned ): Arey uncle, mein thodi aapko taunt kiya..

Raj: Tho abhi abhi jo kaha wo kya tha..mote pet se kam karna grand pas ke kaam hai..

Mrunal: Arey, aapne dekha nahi kya..oldie grandfathers ke pet mote hothe hain..Par, iske beech aap kaise aaye hai..

Cabir: Arey aapki fluffy inhe grand pa jo bulathi hai..

Mrunal ( palmed her face ): Mein tho bhool hi gayi thi. Koi nahi uncle, maana ki umar mein aap bohath old ho chuke hai phir bhi teek taak dikhthe ho..

Raj stared at Nandini in extreme anger while she pouted at him cutely making others chuckle. Mrunal turned to Manik and grinned..

Mrunal: Hey Jeeju..

Manik shook his head while palming his face..

Manik: Mrunal, tum mujhe bina chillake bhi greet kar sakthi ho..

Mrunal ( grinned sheepishly ): Aadath hochuki hai, Sorry..

And that was when, her gaze fell on a person standing beside Manik who was literally gaping at her in shock and she too widened her eyes and palmed her mouth..

Mrunal: Why on Earth are you standing in this Mansion..??

Nandini ( annoyed ): Maana ki mein tujhse gussa hoon par iska mathlab ye nahi ki tum bhi chilla sakthe ho..let my ears rest in peace..

Arijit ( shocked ): Tum..?? Wo Lady Zombie ho na tum..tum yaha kya kar rahi ho..??

And Mrunal and Nandini widened their mouths.

MruNi: What the freakish shit..!!!

Mrunal: Lady Zombie..???

Nandini: Seriously..?? Aur koi naam hi nahi mila..??

Mrunal: Tujhe naam ki padi hai ab..chod..ye jaanwar yaha kya kar raha hai..

Arijit: What the..!! Jaanwar..Did you just call me a jaanwar..you mean an animal..??

Mrunal: Ab tumhe jaanwar ka mathlab nahi patha hai tho wo mere problem nahi hai, so kindly join a primary school..

And the rest were gaping at them except for Nandini who was thinking deeply after hearing the word " jaanwar "..

Nandini ( thought ): Ye mein kaha suni..kaha suni..ye naam tho Mruno se hi suni thi, par kab aur kiske barein mein baath kar rahi thi..

She kept on thinking while Mrunal and Arijit were still fighting. Having enough, Mrunal amrched to Nandini and pulled her from her seat which broke her trance..

Mrunal: Bhale hi ye Jeeju ka ghar hai par tumhara bhi hai na phir tum kaise iss jaanwar ko yaha bula sakthe ho..

Nandini: Oye, mein kyu bulaoon iss khadoos ko ghar pe..Wo khud aaya hai yaha..

Shravana: Kya baath hai, ek ne jaanwar naam rakhi aur doosre ne khadoos, mera Bhai kithne ache hai jo dho khoobsurath ladkiyon se ithne khoobsurath naam milne keliye..

Both Arijit and Manik glared at him and he grinned sheepishly..

Mrunal: Tho ye jaanwar kyu hai yaha..

Nandini: Abey tum chilla kyu rahi ho, wo Grumpy Coffee ke dosth hai, isilye aaye hai yaha..

Mrunal palmed her mouth and then looked at Manik and Arijit who were glaring at her..

Arijit: Ye, yaha kya kar rahi hai..

Nandini: Mere saath bath kar rahi hai, dikh nahi raha kya aapko..

Arijit: Buddy.......

Manik ( annoyed ): Ye Nandini ki friend hai, khush..

Arijit too looked shocked but then made an irritated face..

Arijit: Great. Kya jodi banaya khuda ne..

Nandini: Rab ne banadi jodi dekhna hai tho Cabir Bhai se kehdho, he's way too interested in that movie..Mruno, tum lad kyu rahe the isse..

Mrunal bit her lips and then looked at Nandini in shock and spoke out in a trance..

Mrunal: He's that monkey-headed shark whose car was strangled to death by us..!!

And Nandini's jaws dropped down in shock while others were confused.

Nandini: Whaaaaattt..!!!

Mrunal nodded in Yes and then both stared at Arijit but Nandini made a bad face..

Nandini: Mujhe tho pehle hi patha chalna chahiye tha ki yahi wo monkey-headed shark..

Arijit: Excuse me..?? Monkey what..??

Raj: Bas....baath...what is bath..??

Nandini: Kya Grand Pa, yaha ithne bade hungama ho rahe hai aur aapko " bath " ka mathlab jaanna hai, tho lo jawab, it means nahanna..

Raj ( palmed his face ): Mera mathlab tha, what's happening here..baath kya hai jo tum log lad rahe hai..

Mrunal ( scowled ): Iss bumptious guy jo Jeeju ka dosth bann chuka hai, unfortunately, mere car ko crash kiya tha aur ulte mujhpe cilla rahe the..

Arijit: Haa tho, tumne mere car ko chot pohanchayi thi..

Mrunal ( smirked ): Ab tho bohath kam chot pohanchi hoga na uss " oh-so-expensive " car ka..

Arijit ( frowned ): Mathlab..??

And the girls smirked at him wile Arijit rewound MruNi's conversation and his blood boiled in anger.

Arijit: You...You destroyed my car..

Nandini: Hell yeah..

Arijit's ears started to puff smokes out of them while the rest gaped at the girls..

Mukti: Oh teri ki, tho uss din Bhabi aap ne Arijit Bhai ke car ke murder kiya tha..

Nandini ( casually ): Haa, iss khadoos ne meri Mruno pe chillaya tho badle mein kuch milna hi hai..

Arijit: How dare you..?? Do you even realize how important it was..

Mrunal: Oh really..But, I don't care..

Arijit was about to blast again when Manik made him sit on his chair..

Manik: Buddy, shant hoja..

Nandini and Mrunal picked their bags up and moved to the door but then Nandini came back to Nyonika..

Nandini: Mom, aapke diet mene Muku ko diya hai, do listen to her..Bye Mom, Bhai, Shravan Abhi Bhai and Grand Pa..

And she walked out with Mrunal after hugging Nyonika and Mukti while Arijit stared at Mrunal with extreme anger who smirked at him and moved out..

Manik: Buddy, let it be..Uh, I got a call, mein bhi nikal raha hoon..Muku, do give him his breakfast..

And Manik too walked out but Arijit was still angry..

Outside the Mansion

Nandini was about to sit in Mrunal's car when her hand was pulled by someone..

Nandini: What the f***. Kya hai Grumpy Coffee..

Manik: Language..Mrunal, aaj Nandini se mere koi kaam hai..bye..

And he took her to his car and drove away while Mrunal stared at them in shock..

Mrunal: Ye Grumpy se Desperate Coffee kab ban gaya..!!

Inside Manik's car

Nandini: What's wrong with you..Tum mujhe iss stupid car mein kaha le jaa rahe ho..??

Manik: Shut up, ek tho ye car mere mehnath hai. I, myself have designed it, so dare you call it stupid aur doosri bath mein tumhe hospital drop karne wala hoon..

Nandini ( scowled ): I do have a car so I don't need your service..

Manik: Service nahi, this is my way of rectifying my mistake..

Nandini: What..??

Manik ( sighed ): I'm sorry for lashing out at you when you weren't at fault. I should have thought before speaking. I should have asked to Mom who made the cake before manhandling you. I shouldn't have disrespected you. I shouldn't have spoken bad about your parents and your relationship when I knew nothing about it. I'm sorry..

Nandini looked at him in shock while he simply kept an expressionless face and soon they reached her hospital.

Manik ( turned to her ): Nothing is going to change in our relationship even now but I'm sincerely sorry. Ab baath samaj mein aaya..

Nandini ( smiled ): Grumpy Coffee can also be a glass of fruit juice..

And she got out of the car but he stared at her back while shaking his head in disbelief..

Manik ( smiled ): She's seriously crazy..

But soon, he frowned after seeing the scene in front of him...

To be continued...
