Have you ever did something which's exactly to be called " alien "..??

Maybe, you're a very soft or polite person but then you tend to do something which is done by a very outspoken person.

Or else..

You might be a very harsh and rough person but then you had to do something that would be done by an introvert..

Can't say, it depends upon our circumstances..

Well, such a circumstance has just knocked at Manik Malhotra's face and the circumstance is his own wife or precisely, manofying his wife, Nandini Manik Malhotra..

In Malhotra's Farmhouse

At night

MaNan's Bedroom

Nandini stared at her husband, who was applying something on his face while turning his back to her, with a bored look on her face..

Nandini: What actually is your problem, Grumpy Coffee..? You've been standing in front of that mirror for the past 10 minutes. Shadi mein jaa rahe ho kya..?? We're just going for stealing..

She spoke in a 'duh' tone while getting irritated with Manik's behavior..

Manik: Yeah right, it should be "just stealing" after all. Shadi tho isse bhi zyada easy hai, ek kurta pehenna hai aur ek pajama, baath khatham, par yaha mujhe ye sab karne pad raha hai..

Nandini: Aise bhi kya kar rahe ho tum..Make up pehen rahe ho kya..??

He turned to her and she jumped in her place while keeping a hand on her heart..

Nandini: What the f*** you did with your face..?!

She shouted while rubbing her her heart to soothe it's thumping while Manik glared at her..

Manik: Language, Lilliput..Agar Muku sunn liya tho..

She gave a " really " look to him..

Nandini: Tumhe iss kamre ke kis kone mein Choti nazar aa rahe ho..??

Manik: Arey kamre kyu, kahi wo bahar khadi hui thi tho..

Nandini: Forget it, kahi suna tha mene, never speak with an over-protective brother, it's a waste of time..Ab, kripya ye batha deejiye ki aapne iss chehre ko kaala kyu kiya. Mathlab, mujhe patha hai aapko BLACK se beinteha pyar hai par ithne height thak pohanchega ye mene socha hi nahi..

He glared at her and to be honest, all she could see were his eyes because his face was black so couldn't depict whether it had turned red or not due to the anger..

Manik: Ek tho mein tumhare saath ye stupid game keliye aa raha hoon aur tumhe..

Nandini: Oh hello, kya kaha..?? Game..?? Hum koi game keliye nahi, balki steal karne keliye jaa rahe hai..

Manik: Jo illegal hai..

Nandini: Come on Grumpy coffee, ithna bhi kya hai stealing mein..?? Hum churake agle din, yaani ki kal hi wapas denge..

Manik: Iseeliye tho aa raha hoon mein tumhare saath, warna mein bohath shareef hoon..

She roamed her eyes from top to bottom and Manik tried to hide himself from her..

Nandini ( sarcastically ): Ek kahavat suna tha mene, jo zaroorath se zyada lamba hoga uske paas dimaag kam honge, ab mujhe ek proof bhi milgayi..

Manik ( pissed ): Lilliput..

Nandini: Kya..ab tum bologe bhi ke ye weird costume ki zaroorath kya hai..

Manik: Agar kisiko patha chalega ki hum steal kar rahe hai tho usse ye chehra dikhao, bhooth samajke bhaag jayega..

He smirked at her and she nodded at him..

Nandini: Sahi hai, par ek correction, bhooth bhi ithna darawna nahi hoga..

He gave her a pissed look and she got up from her seat and moved towards him and wiped his face with a towel..

Manik: What the h..

She glared at him and he gulped the word down..

Manik: Lilliput..don't spoil my hard work..

Nandini: Mere budhu coffee..iss rang se koi faida hi nahi. Kyunki kisiko bhi patha nahi lagega, mujhe experience hai, I'll get you back home safe and sound..Khush..??

He nodded at her in defeat but then smirked at her..

Manik: Waise...did you just..address me " mere budhu coffee.." mathlab, you just claimed me yours..

She bit her lips and looked at him to see him standing still with his smirk. She shrugged his smirk off and then concentrated in wiping his face..

Nandini: Haa tho, beewi hun, haqq bantha hai..

He grabbed her waist and made her to stand on his toes taking her in surprise..

Manik: Tho pathi ka haqq bhi jatha saktha hoon..

She shook her head while hiding her smile..

Nandini: Waise kaha se mila tumhe ye black paint..

Manik: Store room se..

She looked at him in shock..

Nandini: What...?? Store room me tho wall paint honge na..mathlab ye face paint nahi hai..

Manik: Arey face paint zyada der thak nahi ruka tho, isiliye mene wall paint chose kiya..

She palmed her face..

Nandini: Tabhi tho ye ithna chipak rahe hai tumhare chehre pe..Aao mere saath..

She dragged him to the washroom and made him sit on the counter top and opened the tap..

Manik: Lilliput, kya kar rahi ho..??

Nandini: Ek minute keliye chup rehna hai, kya dena chahiye tumhe..

She spoke irritatingly and he grinned..

Manik: What if I ask a kiss from you..??

He smirked at her and her jaws dropped down making him to laugh. Knowing that he was messing with her, she leaned forward and kissed his cheeks and this time, it was his turn to get shocked..

Nandini: Lo diya, ab chup hoja..

She smirked while he still held his cheeks in shock. She removed that hand and started cleaning his face with the water..

Nandini: Eu..This thing is so clingy.

Manik: Ye ladki nahi hai, madam, jo cling kar sakthe hai..

Nandini: Ladkiyan cling nahi karthe hain..

Manik: Well, according to me, they do..

She gave him a horrendous look..

Nandini: You mean, I cling too..??

He bobbed his head in yes unknowingly and then regretted. He looked up to see invisible smoke coming out of her ears..

Manik: Uh Lilliput, I didn't mean to say that..

Nandini: Oh, but, I really mean to do this..

She took a bucket of water and threw the whole thing on him making him to drench in water..

Manik: Lilliputtttt....

Nandini: Aw, poor Baby Coffee got wet..!!

He pulled her to him and turned the shower on..

Nandini: Ughh....I'm not going to sleep now, Grumpy Coffee..

Manik: Oh wow, I didn't know that, but you really stink so thought of helping you..

She emptied a shampoo bottle on him and he took a soap and rubbed it on her hair..

Nandini: Will you stop playing with this thingy..

Manik: FYI, this thing has got a name " soap "..

She was about to get another shampoo bottle when he pulled her to him and twisted her hands behind making her to stare in his eyes. He kept staring in her orbs to find something warm in them. He felt a different pull towards them which forced him to leave her hands and cupped her cheeks with his hands and leaned to her face..

Her hands found their way to his neck without her knowledge and he placed a chaste kiss on her cheeks..

Manik: I just thanked you..for that kiss..!!

Unknowingly, she blushed with his comment. She looked up in his eyes and removed the black stains from his face while rubbing them off with her tiny hands making him to lose his control in her touch..

Nandini: Hogaya..

He was so lost in it that he couldn't hear her whisper which made her to smile in joy. His such gestures were proving to her that yes, she means something to him..

She moved to his ears and whispered first..

Nandini: Tumne abhi thak nahi suna..??

Manik ( totally lost in her ): Kya..

And then she shouted in his poor eardrums..

Nandini: Hogaya..

He jumped in her place and she moved back while laughing..

Manik: Lilliput..

Nandini: Kya, abhi bhi yahi khade hoke kya karoge tum, chalo, change yourself and let me also change..

Manik: Does it mean, should I help you in changing..??

She gave a sarcastic grin to him..

Nandini: Why not..?? I won't mind..

This wiped his smirk off and she started giggling. She pushed him out of the bathroom and changed herself while blushing..

Blushing Lilliput is really a miracle..!!

Soon, she was out of the bathroom while wiping her hair only to see Manik looking in the mirror and staring at his face weirdly..

Nandini: Pehli baar dekh rahe ho kya apne aapko ayne mein..??

Manik: Tumhe sach mein lagthe ho kya ki mujhe kuch bhi nahi karna hai apne muh ke saath..??

Nandini ( annoyed ): Arey nahi, tum na, apne muh ke sath ek dance zaroor karlo..

She sighed and held his hand and moved out of the room without even giving a glance at his pouts that was forming on his lips due to his fear of getting caught by someone when he steals and God knows what his wife would make him to steal..

Outside a Supermarket

Manik stood in front of the supermarket with a very pissed face while Nandini looked more than excited with it..

Nandini: Chalo Grumpy Coffee, let's get into action..

He pulled her back to her place and glared at her..

Nandini: Apne aankhen bahar phekna hai tho kabhi aur karlo, mere paas waqt nahi hai ye sab dekhne keliye..

Manik: God, Lilliput..tum yaha kyu laaye ho mujhe..??

Nandini: Picnic keliye..kyu..ache nahi laga tumhe..??

Manik ( sarcastically ): Nahi..bilkul bhi nahi laga, tum kuch kar paoge kya..??

Nandini: Unfortunately mein kuch bhi nahi kar paoongi, aur agar kar bhi sakthe ho tho mein karoongi bhi nahi, mujhe coffee wale pasand nahi hai..

Manik: Forget it, let's get inside..And, if we get caught, I'm gonna put the blame on you..

Nandini: Good boy..chalo chalo..

She held his arm and got inside..

Manik ( murmured ): Hey bhagwan, agar aaj mujhe kuch hua tho mein Mom se keh doonga ki aapko koi laddoo nahi dena chahiye kal se, wo mandhir bhi nahi aaenge aaj ke baad, kasam se..

By the time, they were inside the Supermarket and Nandini was roaming her eyes around..

Nandini: Grumpy coffee, kuch mila..

Manik: Kya mila..??

Nandini: Arey budhu, koi bakra mila kya..??

Manik: Yaha hum kaunse ragging karne wale hai jo tumhe bakra chahiye..

She hit her head and then shook her head..

Nandini: Experience nahi hai tho kya, insaan hai na, ye sab mein thoda tho idea hona chahiye na..

Manik: Unfortunately, mein ek businessman hoon, robber nahi..

Nandini: Tho mein kaha ke robber hoon jo ye sab aathi hai mujhe..

Manik: Ye sawal mein apne aapse bohath baar pooch chuka hoon, par jawab nahi mila, tum de sakthe ho tho deejiye..

Nandini: Haan haan, mere tho kaam hi yeh hai ki tumhare har ek sawal keliye jawab doondna..

Manik: Agar jawab doondke mili tho batha dena, aakhir tum robbery mein mast type ki jo ho..

Nandini: Forget it, mujhe ye useless pole se bath hi nahi karna chahiye..

Manik: Useless pole..??

He spat fire through his eyes which she ignored and started checking the store out and like finally, she spotted a man with a large belly and round spectacles. She moved forward while dragging Manik with her..

Man: How rude of this stupid supermarket, everything is quiet expensive here. A bar of chocolate costs 10 r.s. Why can't they let it be of r.s. 2..?!

Hearing it, Nandini scrunched her nose and then looked at Manik..

Nandini: Ye insaan bilkul tumhare type ka hai..

Manik, who also have heard the man was sighing in disbelief at the man, when he heard his wife's accusation..

Manik: What...?? When did I become such a kanjoos to you..??

Nandini: Arey it's not about kanjoosi, this guy wanted this bar of chocolate for 2 r.s. when it deserves to be of 10 r.s and it's actually the best value. Jaise ki tumne mujhse shadi karne ke baad kaha that you deserve better when you got the best, as in, me..

She grinned at him and concentrated in the man while Manik got lost in her words..

" Tum mere taste thak nahi pohanchthi phir bhi mujhse shadi karwaya hai.."

" Oh hello, shukar hai ki tum jaise monster ko ithni achi, sanskari, sweet aur khoobsurath beewi mili hai warna tum tho Narnia ki white witch ko bhi deserve nahi kartha.."

From nowhere, he felt his throat getting dry. He regretted saying it because now, he knew that she's special.

Manik: Shayad mein tumhare taste thak nahi pohanchthe hoon..

Nandini, who was searching for an idea while using that man got startled with Manik's that one small sentence. She snapped her head at him in surprise to see him staring at her with a faint smile playing on his lips.

That was when, his words got registered in her mind, that's when she remembered those words which got slipped from his mouth on the first morning after their marriage..

He held his ears and made an apologetic face because he knew, she still remembers those words..

Nandini: Mujhe Sweet coffee nahi chahiye, Grumpy coffee hi pasand hai..

Saying it, she turned her face to the man but there was a cute smile on her face and that was more than enough for Manik to smile at her, that too a huge one..

The man broke their little moment..

Man: Ab ye kya, ek chote packet tea powder ko 30 r.s. Kam se kam 10 r.s. hona chahiye..Mujhe nahi chahiye ithne mehenge wale samaan..

That was when smirk formed on Nandini's lips. She turned to Manik who was laughing at the man, silently..

Nandini: Hasna bandh karo grumpy coffee, wo tho hum baad mein zaroor karenge, ab uss kanjoos specs ko rulana chahiye..chalo mere saath..

Confusedly, Manik followed Nandini who was following the man without his knowledge. Soon, the man was standing in front of the bill counter..

Man: Kithne mehenge hai yaha ke samaan Rajesh Lal..

The man in the counter gave a sarcastic look to him..

Rajesh Lal: Ji bilkul, apko tho ek cup chai keliye bhi 1 rupaya mehenga lagtha hai tho ye samaan tho zaroorath se bhi zyada mehenga hai..

Nandini and Manik chuckled while the man nodded without getting Rajesh's mockery for him..

Soon, the man was done with his billing..

Rajesh: Total amount= 100 R.S.

The man gave him a wide opened mouth look..

Man: 100 R.S..?? Aise bhi kya khareedha mene..??

Rajesh: 2 K.G vegetables, 1 K.G fruits aur ek lighter, 100 rupaye kam hai, mere hisab se..aapko tho mein discount bhi detha hoon..

Man: Kam hai..?? Tum kaunse planet se ho..?? Ye sab mehenga hai..Mujhe laga bas 50 rupaye honge..

That was the moment, when Nandini nudged Manik making him to look at her..

Nandini ( whispered ): Tum uss lighter dekh rahe ho kya..??

Manik: Haa..kyu..?? Now, don't tell me you want to try smoking too..

Nandini ( casually ): Wo hum kabhi aur try karenge, ab baath ye hai ki, let's steal that lighter from this kanjoos spectacles..

Manik looked at her in shock..

Manik: Ye kanjoos already 50 rupaye keliye bheek maang rahe hai jab aur ek 50 r.s. kam se kam dena chahiye aur tum keh rahe ho iske lighter churaoon..??

Nandini: Stealing tho usseeka karna hai jo achai deserve nahi karthe hai..

This made him to smirk and the duo gave a silent thumbs up..

Manik: Magar Lilliput, yaha cameras honge na..

Nandini: Arey, isiliye hum abhi kuch nahi karenge, bahar jaake karthe hain..

Manik: Smart huh..

Nandini: I know..kuch naya boldho..

He made a bad face at it..

Getting pissed with the shopkeeper and the man's fight, Nandini moved forward and snatched the covers of vegetables away from him and gave it to the shopkeeper and then the cover of fruits and lighter to the man..

Nandini: 50 rupaye chahiye na, lo, ye hai 50 rupaye ke samaan, le lo aur dafa hoja..aapke tarah bewajah doosron ke pareshan karne keliye hamare paas waqt nahi hai..

The man glared at her..

Man: Tum hothe kaun ho ye sab kehne keliye..

Manik stood in front of the man and gave a stern look to him..

Manik: Meri beewi hai wo, may I know who the hell are you to use that tone with my wife..??

Nandini stared at Manik amusingly while the man gulped and nodded in No..

Man: Uh..Mein..mein..koi bhi..nahi hoon..acha..chaltha..hoon..khayal rakhna..apni beewi ki..

Nandini gave a weird look to the man..

Manik: Meri beewi ki khayal rakhne keliye mein zinda hoon, tumhe kuch kehne ke zaroorath nahi hai, Mr. Kanjoos Khadoos..

The man nodded again in fear and took all of his covers and was about to move out..

Manik: Oh hello, iske paise kaun dega..??

Man: Oh..Sorry, mein..bhool gaya..

Nandini: Aapko koi beemari hai kya..Kab se stammer kar rahe ho..Kahi koi mental asylum se tho bhagke nahi aa rahe ho, harkathe bhi aise hi hain..

The man muttered curses under his breathe and ran out of the store while Manik and Nandini shared a laughter at him.

Nandini: Lo Bhai saab, humne ek chocolate liya hai, fatafat bill karo..

The shopkeeper who was staring at the drama without blinking his eyes got out of his trance..

Manik: Abey suna nahi hai kya..

Rajesh: Ji..ji saab..

Soon, Manik paid for the chocolate and both him and Nandini got out of the store..

Nandini: Tch...ab kaha hai ye kanjoos specs..

Manik: Wo raha kanjoos..

Manik pointed his finger at a distance and Nandini held his hand and started running towards him in excitement..

Manik: Yar, stealing karne ke waqt koi daudega nahi, kisiko patha nahi chalna chahiye..

Nandini: Agar hum daud liya tho iska mathlab ye nahi ki hum steal karnewale hai, log tumhare tarah budhu nahi hai..

Manik ( scowled ): Don't call me budhu..

Nandini: Budhu ko budhu nahi tho kya bolungi mein, budhu..??

Manik: Shut up..

Nandini giggled at him and soon they reached behind the man and took deep breathes to control their running heartbeats..

Nandini ( whispered ): Iske lighter kaha rakha hoga..

Manik: Mein kya iske P.A. lagtha hoon tumhe jo iske lighter ke jagah jaan paoonga..??

Nandini: Offo..teek se ek jawab bhi nahi de sakthe ho tum, tum ladka ho na isiliye lighter kaha rakhthe hai, ye sab jaan sakthe ho na, isiliye pooch liya..

Manik: I don't smoke..

She looked at him in shock..

Nandini: Sachi..??

Manik: Ab mujhe promise karna hai kya..??

She made a bad face..

Nandini ( pouted ): I always wanted my hubby to be a mafia kind one but you don't even smoke here..

He stared at her in shock..

Manik: Mafia..??

Nandini ( excitingly ): Haa, mafia, kithna cool hoga na. Pocket mein gun aur hamesha lighter use karke apne cigarette light karthe hai aur phir ek don ke tarah bath karna..hayee, ekdum james bond ke type..

Manik ( sarcastically ): As far as I know, James Bond wasn't a mafia, he was a secret agent.

Nandini: Tho kya hua, handsome tho hoga na, in fact, mafia will be much handsome than secret agents..

Manik ( pissed ): Lilliput, focus on this man, leave your stupid mafia..

Nandini ( frowned ): Tum gussa kyu ho rahe ho, this man is still walking, chod, let me search for the lighters..

She started to roam her eyes in the man's pocket while Manik was pissed at her..

Come on, doesn't she see..?? He's more than handsome than any stupid Mafia.!!

Nandini ( pouted ): Mil hi nahi mujhe..Grumpy coffee, doondo na..

He sighed and then his eyes caught a yello thing hanging from his pant's pocket. He smirked and then looked at Nandini who was cursing the man under her breathe..

Manik: Right pocket of his pants..

She too found it and then grinned..

Manik: Chalo, plan kya hai..

Nandini saw a slightly big stone on the ground and tried to pick it from the ground but it was quiet heavy for her hands. Manik bent and took it with his one hand and then gave her a sarcastic grin..

Manik: Tum dikhne mein kaise ho, ye tumhe abhi thak tho patha chalna hi chahiye..

Nandini ( crooked her eyebrows ): What do you mean..??

Manik: Why do you think I call you Lilliput..??

Nandini ( pissed ): Grumpy coffee..

Manik: Yes Lilliput..

Nandini: Ugh...forget it, I need to concentrate in this now..give me the stone..

Manik: And you need to break your bones, right..

Nandini: I'm strong enough to hold it, come on, gimme..

Manik nodded and gave it to Nandini, who immediately was about to fall when he held her and the stone..

Manik: Tum tho accept nahi karogi, let it be, tumhare bas ki bath nahi hai..

She grinned at him sheepishly..

Manik: Kya karna hai isse tumhe..

Nandini: Iss kanjoos specs ke samne rakhna hai..

Manik ( frowned ): He'll obviously see me if I go and keep this in front of him..

Nandini: Arey budhu, uskeliye mein hoon na..

Manik ( scowled ): Fine..Karlo..

Nandini: Tum side mein hato..

Manik: Huh..

Nandini: Hato tho sahi, jaakar wo tree ke paas khade hoja, he shouldn't see you when he turn behind..

Manik stood near to a tree and Nandini tapped on the man's shoulder making him to turn and she hid behind a bush. The man turned to his front again and this time, Nandini made a sound of a snake which made the man to get afraid and he turned with a scared face. Taking it as a cue, Manik kept the stone on the ground and then moved back to the tree and smirked at Nandini.

Nandini: Arey wah, Grumpy coffee ne tho kamal kardiya..

Man: Who..Who's..there..

Nandini: Ab is kanjoos specs ko bhagana hai..

She started to hiss in her loudest voice and threw a stick at the man which she took from the ground..

Man: Aahhh..

The man screamed and started to walk backwards and..

Dhup..

He fell on the ground and both Manik and Nandini noticed the lighter falling out of his pocket. The man stood up again and ran away screaming all the way " bhooth " " bhooth "..

The duo came out of their hiding place and Manik was the first one to get the lighter in his hand and showed it to her while smirking while she stood there panting and then stared at each other before busting out in laughter..

Nandini: Seriously, that kanjoos specs didn't need your black plaint wala face to scream " bhooth " on and on..

Manik, who was laughing till now laughed again..

Manik: His face was worth watching..

She, stood there staring at his face. The spark that was seen in his eyes was something new to her, though, she felt a lot of warmth in it. She felt like, it wasn't him who's enjoying but it was her, his smile, his laughter, everything about him gives her a kind of satisfaction..

Mrunal and her sister used to be the only one with whom she used to enjoy herself but sharing such moments with Manik, didn't make her upset but it made her to feel joyous, like she felt its him who deserves to be with her in all those moments of her life..

Manik: I know I'm handsome, you don't need to say it through staring at me without a blink..

He smirked at her which brought her out of her trance. She hid her blush and then moved forward to her ears..

Nandini: It's not a crime to ogle at you, hubby. Beewi hun..

She used her famous dialogue and winked at him which made him to blush, this time..

Nandini: Chalo, let's leave to our next destination.

Manik ( confused ): Next destination..?? Ab kaha jaana hai tumhe..??

Nandini: Ye lighter use karna hai na..isiliye jaa rahe hai hum..

Manik: Lilliput, you said we'll give it back once we steal..

Nandini: And how will you find that man..??

Manik ( scolded ): I'll ask my P.A. to do for me. Do as per your word..

Nandini: Tum ithna sanskari kyun..?? Pehle se hi aisa tha ya aaj subah koi sanskari saap ne kaat liya..??

He frowned at her and she held his hand and dragged him with her..

Nandini ( casually ): I said, I can give it back after stealing but that doesn't mean, I'll give it back if that person doesn't deserve it. I do what my brain thinks, not my sankari heart does..

Manik: Pehle bhi bol chuka hoon aur aaj bhi bol raha hoon, tum pagal ho..

Nandini: Agar nahi hothi tho Mruno ke best friend kaise bann sakthi, a Psychiatrist can be crazy too and if she/he is, then they have to have crazy best friends too..Don't you know it..

Manik slapped his head and muttered " gone case "..

Nandini: Here we're..

Manik, who was following her tiredly looked up to get surprised..

Manik: A church..??

Nandini ( smiled ): Yup, a church..

He noticed her voice to be filled with warmth and a lot of softness in it. She dragged him to the front where a Jesus Christ's Idol was kept. He saw her kneeling in front of it on her knees which he too followed confusedly..

Nandini: Here it is..

She gave the lighter to him and he took it..

Manik: What am I supposed to do with it now..??

Nandini: Light them up, simple..

She showed the candles in front of them, which was placed near to the feet of Christ's idol. He frowned and looked at her..

Nandini: What..?? Ab ye math kehna tumhe aatha nahi..

Manik: No..It's not that..I..I never did this before..Are we..allowed to do this..?? I mean, I always admired Christ but never lightened a candle for him..

Nandini: Tho aaj karlo, unhe bhi patha chalna chahiye ki Manik Malhotra bhi unke fan hai..

He smiled and turned to the idol and then lightened every candles and then stared at Nandini..

Nandini: Kabhi dua maanga hai, normally, insan hai tho maang sakthe par tum tho normal hi nahi ho, issliye pooch rahi hoon..

Manik ( glared ): Lilliput...

Nandini: What..?? Tell na..

Manik ( sighed ): I used to..Ma hamesha karwathe the, she's a great devotee of Lord Shiva..

Nandini: Did you believe in him..??

Manik: I did..Until..

Nandini: Tumhari wo stupid ladki ke wajah se, baaki kehna zaroori nahi hai dumb coffee..

He gave a sheepish grin to her while she turned to the Christ..

Nandini ( smiled ): Ma hamesha kehthi thi, Bhagwan har ek jagah mein mawjood hai, kuch log unhe naam dethe hai aur bulathe hai aur kuch log bas God kehke har ek religion follow karthe hai, par meri Ma inmein se nahi hai, she was a devotee of Lord Aiyappa but then she prayed to every God, no matter whatever the religion is, unke kehna hai, jab Bhagwan har ek jagah mawjood hai tho kahi bhi jao, kisi bhi religion mein ho, bas dua maango na, let it be Christ, Shiva and so on..

This must be the first time she was opening herself up to him and he didn't want to miss any of it..

Nandini: Mere ek kehna hai, agar dua mangne ke barein mein soch liya tho patience bhi hona zaroori hai, kyunki Bhagwan hum logonke tarah nahi, sab kuch soch samajke karthe hai wo, isiliye hume kuch dene se pehle wo bohath sochthe hai, chahe wo burai ya achai, kyunki unke maanna hai ki hum insan mathlab sab kuch sehne walon mein se hona hai. Waise hi unke maana hai, ki agar hume unhone ek burai diya tho iska mathlab ye hai ki wo achai keliye ek agla step hai..

She spoke like a teacher and then turned to him, who was staring at her with a sweet smile. She smiled at him and held his hand..

Nandini: Uss ladki tumhare zindagi ki ek lesson tha Grumpy Coffee, it was a step towards something good in your life, maybe, you needed to find it out, maybe God is planning to send that happiness to you, it was your mistake that you failed to understand Him. Par aaj tum yaha beitke ek dua mango, ki jaldh hi tumhari zindagi mein ek ray of light dene keliye and yeah, don't be so desperate for it so he'll obviously test you hard. Just be like, oh yeah, I'm favorite of God, he'll send me when he thinks I'm in need of it, phir dekhna, God bhi tumhare team mein honge..

She winked at him at the end which made him to chuckle..

Manik: Why are you telling all these to me, Lilliput..??

Nandini: Kyunki tum uske laayak ho, tum ek bache jaise ho, bohath sikhana hai, bechari Mom ko kithna tang kiya hoga tum bachpan mein, abhi bhi kuch seekha nahi na..

He glared at her and she giggled. She made him to fold his hands ( like how Christians pray ) and then she herself folded her hands..

Nandini: Mango dua..

She closed her eyes while he stared at her lovingly and then turned to the Christ and closed his eyes..

Manik ( thought ): Mujhe bas..meri Lilliput chahiye..hamesha keliye..

Nandini ( thought ): Grant all our wishes, Jesus. My hubby darling is such a kiddo, please give him some brain and yeah, grant all his wishes. Give happiness to my family, which includes my new family, Grand Pa, Mom, Meri nayi Choti, Arijit Bhai, Cabir Bhai, Abhi Bhai aur Shravan..meri Mruno aur Choti ke barein mein bolna zaroori nahi hai, khayal rakho sabka..phir mein aapse gussa nahi karoongi..

She opened her eyes to see him staring at her with a smile..

Nandini: Maang liya..

Manik: Haa..aur lagtha hai, iss baar wo mere haath nahi chodenge..

Nandini: Its us, who always leave Him, we shouldn't simply pray only when we need his help, tabhi tho unhe gussa aathe hai, pray everyday, he would never leave our hand..

She got up and he too got up..

Manik: Iss lighter ka kya..??
