What is embarrassment..??

In simple words, it means, getting ashamed of something that you've done. But, it's just about the definition, when you take it in action, its more than that 13 letters word.

It's a feeling which can even eat you up because you're extremely ashamed of whatever happened due to which you're going through such a horrendous situation. People, even goes through some type of short-lived depression, if the issue is not so childish.

While, the other definition for embarrassment is when you end up doing something that shouldn't be done but still, you're not sad or depressed. You might look embarrassing to the world but from inside, something churn up..Something, that makes you feel different...in a good way.

Manik Malhotra and Nandini Manik Malhotra were also going through the same feeling. They, were a couple who just got married days back, which could be even counted in fingers, yet they didn't want to be in this relation but only for the sake of their own restraints, they had to be in this relation.

But, they would have never thought, just because of agreeing to get married to each other would make them feel something that they've never felt, because, this feeling is literally, queering..

In Malhotra Mansion

The Gym

When he gets upset, he goes there. When he gets angry, he goes there. When he gets frustrated, he goes there. When he gets ill, he goes there. When he gets....oops, do you know who this person is..

Well, of course, your guess is right, its Manik Malhotra, because only he could be the person who can be multi-talented when it comes to anger..

Manik, didn't bother to stop punching his poor punching-bag. He was quiet frustrated, after today's incident. The feeling that he had when he was kissed on his cheeks, call it an accident, but still, it was a cheek kiss, was something he could call, ravishing.

Yes, he was been kissed before too, come on, he had a girlfriend who was with him only for fame, money and sex. So, she can't just keep her hands and lips off his body, especially when he's hot. All thanks to Nyonika's teachings that, he didn't agree for sex or make out until they get married which was a like a bomb dropped on her head, for Alya, his ex-girlfriend. So, she had to agree to it while putting up a fake smile on her face..

But, he never felt any kind of emotions in him when Alya ever kissed him. Yes, he loved her, or precisely, he believed that he was in love with her, so he should feel so beautiful when he shares a kiss with her, but he never did. In fact, it was always her who initiated their kisses. He couldn't even respond properly to any kind of body contact with her, he always excuses himself when it comes to physical relationship..

But then today, the girl, whom he disliked has kissed him, but instead of getting angry at her, he simply walked out of the washroom and started assaulting his punching bag..

And finally, he put an end to it..

Manik ( distressed ): What's happening to me..?? Why..? Why didn't I react when she kissed me, okay, that was by accident, but still her lips were on my cheeks. That's an intimate moment and I should have shouted at her, but instead I was lost in her touch..Why..?? Even with Alya, I have never felt such a thing..What do we call this feeling..? Ugh...Nandiniiiii....You're making it hard for me..No Manik, you shouldn't fall in another trap. Girls are trouble, they would simply use you and throw when they feel it's enough with playing with our emotions..You just need to ignore her and kill this feeling..That's it..

He, walked out of the Gym in determination to ignore Nandini. Is that possible for Manik Malhotra to ignore Nandini Manik Malhotra..??

In MaNan's Bedroom

If Manik was throwing all his frustration on his punching-bag then Nandini was in the balcony..Er, what is she doing..YOGA..??

Oh yes, she was on a simple mat and doing Yoga, at night, so that she could remove her nervousness.

Nandini: Oh no, what just happened. I kissed Manik. No, I kissed him on his cheeks. No, he made me kiss him by letting me fall on him. No, he didn't do anything intentionally. But, I kissed him. Haw, how could I..?? I have sworn to myself not to have any kind of physical contact with any guy before marriage, phir...Ugh...I'm married, but..Mruno.....

She was busy in cursing Mrunal, when she was nowhere included in their kiss..

Nandini ( tried to calm herself ): Nandini...just listen to me..you didn't kiss anyone..Yes, your lips landed straight on his cheeks but it was unintentional. Yeah, you didn't know that you would end up in kissing him when you tried to get up from him. So, basically, that wasn't a kiss. Kiss happens when you do it intentionally, or else, its..its simply..a..lip to cheek thingy..haan..lip to cheek thingy..That's it..

While she was busy in cursing, someone entered inside the bedroom and called out for Nandini..

Nandini: I'm here..

The person moved to the balcony with widened eyes...

Person: Bhabi...

Nandini ( smiled ): Oh hi Choti Malhotra..

Mukti ( gasped ): Are you, by any chance, doing Yoga..??

Nandini ( sighed ): Ab mat pe beithke mere legs ek doosre pe cross karke, ek naak bandh karke breathing exercise kar rahi hai tho isse Yoga nahi tho Boxing kahenge kya Choti Malhotra..

Mukti ( shocked ): Raath mein kaun Yoga karthi hai, Bhabi..??

Nandini ( shrugged her shoulders ): Arey, mein karthi hoon.

Mukti ( hit her forehead ): Aap single piece nahi, uss single ki bhi single piece hai, warna koi insaan rath mein Yoga karne ke barein mein soch bhi nahi sakthi..

Nandini ( sighed ): Compliment Accepted..!! Ab tum ye bol, mujhse kuch kaam thi kya..

Mukti ( grinned ): Nahi..mein bas aapse bath karne keliye aayi thi..Ab aap yoga kar rahi hai tho..

Nandini: Arey nahi, mein utne wali thi..

Saying it, Nandini got up and folded her mat and kept it aside and moved to bedroom along with Mukti..They got settled on the bed by facing each other..

Nandini: Chalo, thoda gupshup karthe hai..

Mukti ( excitedly ): Bhabi, aap apne barein mein kuch bathao na..

Nandini ( kept her finger on her chin ): Mere barein mein, arey it's simple. My name is Nandini. I have a best friend called Mrunal and her parents are just like my parents for me. And yes, I'm a doctor..

Mukti ( glared at her ): Jo mein janthi hoon wo kehne se kya milegi mujhe..Bhabi, mujhe aapke barein mein jaanna hai..mathlab, aap kaisi hai, kya pasand hai..kya pasand nahi hai..

Nandini: Jahan thak ki mujhe yaad hai, mein tho already married hoon, aur phir bhi agar tu mujhe apne kisi Bhai keliye bride banna chahthi hai tho wo bhi possible nahi hai, kyunki mein already tumhara bada Bhai Manik Malhotra ki hi beewi hoon, tho phir tum match-makers jaise sawal kyu pooch rahi ho..??

Mukti ( palmed her face ): Meri pyari Bhabi, mein tho aapse bath hi nahi kar rahi hoon..kuch samaj nahi paenge..na mein, na aap..

Nandini: Oho meri choti Malhotra..

Mukti ( irritated ): Aap mujhe choti Malhotra kyu bulathe hai..Mukti naam hai na, agar wo aapko pasand nahi hai tho koi nickname daalo na, ye choti Malhotra bohath formal lag rahi hai..

Nandini: Arey tumhara naam bohath achi hai..tension math le, bechare Grand Pa iss umar mein apni beti ke naamkaran karenge tho log kya sochenge..

Mukti ( giggled ): You know what Bhabi, I'm seriously in love with your character..

Nandini: Uff..thareef pe thareef...waise, I know that I have a beautiful personality, aakhir mein paida hi achi hoon..

Mukti ( grinned ): Zaroor, waise aaj ke baad aap mujhe Choti Malhotra nahi bulaenge..

Nandini ( frowned ): Tho phir kya bulaoon..Mujhe short names zyada pasand hai..

Mukti: Choti Malhotra kaunse angle se short lag rahe hai aapko..??

Nandini: 'Choti' mathlab hi short hai, bas uske saath ek Malhotra daal rahi hoon..

Mukti ( smiled ): Tho Choti bulao na..bass Malhotra ko bahar nikalo..kyu ji..???

Nandini ( smiled ): Choti...

Mukti ( grinned ): Haa, mene apne friends se suna hai jaise unke badi behen ya bhai choti bulathe hai, mere Bhaiyan tho muku bulathe hai..

Nandini ( grinned ): Muku bhi achi naam hai par Choti hi sahi..waise bhi, you remind me of my sister..

Mukti ( surpirsed ): You have a sister..??

Nandini ( smiled widely ): Of course, I do. Teri umar hai..Mera sab kuch..

That was the first time, Mukti would have seen Nandini speaking about someone lovingly, Mrunal was like another version of Nandini so whenever she speaks about her best friend, it will be lovely curses but now, she could see a real sister in Nandini..someone like a mother..

Mukti ( confused ): Par wo aapki shadi mein tho nahi aayi..

Nandini ( sighed ): Wo India mein nahi rehthi, apne padai keliye bahar rehthi hai..

Mukti ( smiled ): Oh. You love her a lot, right..??

Nandini ( smiled ): You have no idea. She's just like a baby. Mein jab bhi tujhe dekhoon, mujhe uski hi yaad aathi hai..I, even call her Choti..

Mukti ( pouted ): She wouldn't feel bad if you address me Choti na..??

Nandini ( giggled ): She shouldn't know. She's way too possessive. Par dil se bohath achi hai..

Mukti ( grinned ): I want to meet her, meri patakha Bhabi ki behen kaisi hai, ye bhi jaanna hai..

Nandini ( raised her eyebrows ): Tho mein patakha hoon, huh..??

Mukti ( smirked ): Koi shak..

Nandini ( coolly ): Nah...

Mukti ( chuckled ): By God, Bhabi, hadn't you been my Bhabi and a girl, I would have proposed you..

" What......!!! " someone shouted who was standing outside the bedroom in shock..

Nandini ( annoyed ): Iss Grumpy Coffee ko chillane se alawa aur kuch aatha hi nahi..

Oh yes, it was Manik Malhotra, he was about to enter his bedroom, when he heard his sister confessing to his wife that she would love to propose her if she happens to be a guy, who's single..

Manik walked inside the bedroom and glared at Mukti, who immediately got up from the bed and gave him a nervous smile..

Manik: Kisne seekha tujhe ye sab, Mukti..? You're just 18 and you're speaking about proposing a guy.

Nandini: Kyu..? Wo kisi ladki ko jaakar propose kar sakthi hai kya, phir..??

Manik shot a glare at her which she ignored, as usual and got up from the bed..

Manik: Mein apni behen se bath kar rahi hoon..

Nandini: Aur mein apna pathi se, apni hi nanand ke barein mein bath kar rahi hoon..

Manik: Nanand aur behen mein difference hai..

Nandini ( shrugged her shoulders ): Jahan thak ki mujhe yaad hai, nanand mathlab husband's sister and behen mathlab sister, so I would love to cut that particular word " husband " and then it became a word with no difference..SISTER...tho, I can interfere..

Manik ( frustrated ): I'm teaching some good values to my sister and here you're eating my brain..

Nandini: Grumpy Coffee, jab khud good values ka mathlab nahi janthe ho tho doosron ko kaise sikhaa sakthe ho..

Manik ( gritted his teeth ): You mean I am not a good guy...??? I don't value anything..??

Mukti ( interrupted ): Bhai, aap meri wajah se Bhabi ko math daantiye..Mein tho bas mazak kar rahi thi Bhabi ke sath..

Manik: tujhe mazak lagthi hai ye sab..ye proposal wagera and all..

Mukti: Mein kisi ladke ko propose nahi kar rahi thi na..

Manik: Phir bhi..

Nandini ( annoyed like hell ): Tumhari problem kya hai..?? Usne bola na wo mazak kar rahi thi..waise bhi, agar wo propose bhi kar rahi thi tho kya honewala hai, wo bachi nahi, 18 saal ki ho chuki hain, usse sahi aur galath ka mathlab patha hai, agar kisi ladke se pyar hua tho ismein konsi buri baath hai..

Manik: Listen Nandini, it's better if you don't interfere in between a brother and a sister..

Nandini ( annoyed ): I am not interfering in between a brother and a sister but I am taking my sister's side..

Manik snapped his head at her in shock, while Mukti smiled in joy..

Nandini ( turned to Mukti ): Choti Mal ( Mukti pouted sadly ) arey bhool gayi..sorry, Choti ( Mukti smiled ) tum jaakar apna padhai karo, tumhara Bhai ke baath sunliya phir poori zindagi mein shadi karne keliye bhi tujhe interest nahi hogi..

Mukti giggled and went away after kissing Manik's cheeks while muttering a sorry and Manik smiled at her antics. He turned towards his dearest wife once his sister got out of their bedroom..

Nandini ( disinterested tone ): Mujhe fight karne ka koi mann hi nahi hai..mujhe bohath jaldh hi sona hai..isiliye jaldh hi khana khani hai..

Manik ( glared ): Mere aur Muku ki beech aayi aur ab tumhe uske guilt bhi feel nahi ho rahi hai..

Nandini ( irritated ): Dekh Grumpy Coffee, mene already bathaya ki mein kisi ke bhi beech nahi aayi hoon, tum bechari pe bina koi wajah hi gussa kar rahi thi tho mene bas tumhara salty dimaag mein thoda sugar daalne ke koshish kiya..

Manik ( frowned ): Salty dimaag mein sugar..what non-sense are you speaking..??

Nandini: Ab tum ho hi ek sadu tho dimaag hogaya na salty, tho dimaag teek karna mathlab, thoda sweet hona, aur uskeliye sugar daalna, mathlab thoda akal daalna..aayi samaj mein baath..??

Manik wanted to bang his head somewhere, but he preferred to take a shower instead, so he simply stormed inside the washroom..

Nandini: Hey Bhagwaan ji, iss dunya mein aur koi nahi mila tha kya aapko jo mujhse shadi kar sakthi hai..kya Nandu, tum bhool gayi kya, ye tho asli prince charming nahi..huff, kab aayega mera prince charming..

She pouted sadly and moved out of the bedroom and walked down the stairs..

Downstairs

Dinner Time..

The Malhotras were seated around the dining table, including Manik and were having their dinner. Manik was about to get up after eating his routine dinner, that is, two chappatis with some pickles, when he felt a pinch on his hand..

Manik ( hissed ): Ouch..

Mukti ( concerned ): Kya hua, Bhai..??

Manik ( glared at Nandini ): Kuch nahi, I just bit my tongue..

Nandini ( sighed ): Kya Grumpy Coffee, dheere khao na, kaun train pakad ke tumhe maarne keliye aa rahe hai jo tum apne eating speed limit bhi cross karke muh mein jo bhi hai wo sab kaatke khana khathe ho..

Cabir ( couldn't even blink his eyes ): Mujhe tho tumse classes lena hai, Nandini..

Nandini ( frowned ): Kyu, aap photography chod ke M.B.B.S pursue karna chahthe ho kya, Bhai..??

Cabir: M.B.B.S mein kisko interest hai, interest tho " Muh pe beizati " course mein hai jo sirf tum hi kar sakthi ho..

Nandini ( smirked ): Kam se kam ye tho patha chala aapko mere barein mein..

Saying it, she filled Manik's plates with some more food..

Manik: Wht the h...

And again, he stopped in the middle..

Nandini: For the final time, Grumpy Coffee, you shouldn't use that phrase anymore. After listening it from your mouth, I feel like punching that, if that was possible. And secondly, eat something edible..

Manik ( sarcastically ): Of course, chapattis aren't edible for you..!!

Nandini: Ji nahi, Chapattis are edible but when a person could eat only Chapattis for lifelong, then it isn't edible because, if there's something you got addicted to, then it's called drug, just like how you're addicted to Chapattis, mere bas chalein tho mein poora world magazine mein hi lilkoongi ki Chapattis are a drug because my husband is highly addicted to it..yaha thak ki khudki beewi ko bhi ek Chapatti keliye chod sakthe hai..

Manik ( glared ): Tell me something..mujhe,tumhara muh bandh karne keliye kya karna chahiye..

Nandini: Wow, that's a simple question and the answer is, clean your plate by simply finishing off the food..

Manik ( glared ): And why would I do it..? Care to explain..??

Nandini ( innocently ): Kyunki mere paas phone hai aur iss baar mein Mruno ko nahi balki kisi stranger ko hi phone karoongi, aur jo mein bolungi wo sunenge kyunki aaj kal ladki kisi se phone pe help mangthe hai tho on the spot cops pohanchthe hai and you know, tumse zyada wo log mere baath manenge, kyunki mein hoon ladki..kuch yaad aaya..??

Manik made a horrified face and started eating ROTI with Daal Makhani..which used to be his favorite and seeing him relishing it did bring tears of joy in Nyonika's and Mukti's eyes while Raj and Cabir were looking at Manik and Nandini in shock. Manik was eating while Nandini was the one who made him eat..

Nandini stared at Manik with a victory smile and thought..

Nandini: Wah Nandu, tu ne phirse Grumpy Coffee ko haraya..shayad isse hi kehthe hai "pathi ko harana khushi"..

She, too started eating her food while Manik too had some emotions in his eyes after eating his favorite food after 2 years of his life. From the corner of his eyes, he could see his mother's and sister's happy faces which did make his heart happy and his gaze unknowingly fell on the person who was the reason of it, Nandini, his wife, he stared at her while she was simply eating without bothering about anyone else's existence...

Manik ( thought ): Why do I listen to every wish of her's..??

Mukti ( nervously ): Bhai...

Cabir: Haa..

Mukti ( bad face ): Manik Bhai..

Cabir: Wo hamesha ki tarah half-mute hai..

Nandini, who heard it simply pinched Manik's arm..

Manik: Damn you..Nandiniii..

Nandini: Tumhari behen tumhe bula rahi hai par tum ho hi statue ke tarah kahi kho gaye ho tho mene socha aik baar pinch karoon, shayad wapas dunya mein aaye..

Manik glared at her and then turned to Mukti who was giving him a sheepish smile..

Manik: Bolo Muku..

Mukti: Bhai..kal Thursday hai..

Manik: Tho..??

Mukti ( sadly ): Its our day..

Manik remained guilty, it used to be their day, Sundays were always a rush day since its an off day so the Malhotra siblings used to find fun on Thursdays, no matter what, for Mukti, her brothers used to leave everything but for the past 2 years, Mukti has to remind Manik about their day, as he always look for a chance to be away from fun and family.

Manik ( sighed ): Muku, is it necessary..??

Mukti ( pouted sadly ): It is..Please Bhai, I want to enjoy with you..In fact, I even want to take Bhabi this time with us..

Manik ( horrified ): What...!!! Why Nandini..??

Nandini ( pissed face ): Seriously...Mom, i have a doubt, did you drink some medicine which is good for throat when you were pregnant with Grumpy Coffee..??

Nyonika ( frowned ): Medicine for throat..bas ai veyi koi medicine kyu legi..mein tho nahi liya..par tumne poocha kyu..??

Nandini: Kyunki, aapke bete ko sirf chillana hi aatha hai, wo bhi bohath ache se ki mere kaanth ko bohath jaldhi hi jannath milne wale hai..

Nyonika and Raj chuckled while Manik looked at her with a murderous face..

Manik: Muku, we aren't taking your so called- Bhabi..

Nandini: For a reality check, may I know why am I included in this conversation..??

Mukti ( grinned ): We used to go for shopping on Thursdays and this time, I wanted to take you with us..

Manik ( interrupted ): We aren't taking her with us. Aur waise bhi, I need to check with Varun about my schedules..

Nandini: Choti, shayad mein nahi aa paoongi..par haan, Grumpy Coffee zaroor aaega..

Raj, Nyonika and Cabir were quiet surprised with the way Nandini addressed Mukti and the way their daughter was smiling at Nandini showed them that she has accepted it wholeheartedly..

Manik: And who are you to say it..??

She simply took her mobile and dialed a number and kept it on speaker..The person answered the call while others were frowning..

Person ( excitedly ): Hello Nandini Mam..how are you..I hope you're doing good..

Manik ( thought ): Ye awaaz tho pehchan si lag raha hai..

Nandini ( irritated ): Will you come and make me feel alright if I wasn't feeling good..??

And the person went numb..

Nandini: Coming to the straight point Mr. I want to know Gr...Uh..Manik Malhotra's schedule for tomorrow..

Manik widened his eyes and so others..

Person: Oh..please wait mam...

Nandini: No, I can't..tell me now or else you don't need to come for work from tomorrow on wards..

Person ( gulped hard ): One sec..

Nandini: Arey bola na, I won't wait..

Person( in one breathe ): Tomorrow, he has a meeting at 10 a.m and then his back-to-back office work, a meeting with 2 foreign delegates at 1 p.m and then no more meetings but only his office work..

Manik ( shouted ): Varun...

Poor Varun jumped in his place, which means, his bed..

Nandini: Good..now, get some sleep, you stink through phone too..

And she hung up the call and looked at Manik who was looking like he was going to eat her up..

Nandini: Aise ghoorne se kuch nahi honewale hai..Mein tho tumhara P.A ke saath bhi friendship kiya, agar mujhe usse koi kaam aaya tho, jaise pehle din hua, remember the day he was absent the same day when your phone went RIP and even now, mujhe usse kaam hi aaya..

Manik: How d...

Nandini: offo, phir chilla rahe ho, dekh Grumpy Coffee..mein uske saath kahi bhagne nahi wali hai jo tum ithne gussa karthe ho, wo mere type ke nahi hai aur waise bhi shadi shuda hoon, isiliye bhagthe ho tho obviosuly mein apne hospital thak jaoongi phir ghar hi wapas aaongi, ab kal 1 p.m. ke baad Muku ke saath bahar ja..Acha Mom, mera hogaya..Grand Pa, Bhai and Choti..Good night..

Saying it she got up from her seat while Manik was also boiling in anger..But, soon his anger vanished when he saw Mukti getting up from her seat and moved to Nandini and hugged her..

Mukti ( smiled widely ): I love you, Bhabi..ithna saara love..

Nandini ( giggled ) : Pyar accepted..

He stared at them with a small smile but what Mukti did next was kinda shock for him. She kissed Nandini's cheeks and being honest, he frowned at it..

Manik ( thought ): Kiss karne keliye koi baby hai kya..kya zarurath thi..

Soon, they completed their dinner and left for their rooms..Manik and Nandini too slept without arguing because Manik Malhotra was lost in deep thoughts..

Next Day

At 1:30 p.m.

Manik, Mukti and Cabir were in Manik's car and driving to their destination. Soon, they were in front of their destination, which read....

In Healthy Life Hospital

Manik ( frowned ): Hospital..Muku, tujhe hospital fun lag rahi hai..tu teek tho hai na..

Mukti ( smiled ): Offo Bhai, mein teek hoon..hum yaha meri Bhabi ko lene aaye hain..

Manik ( unknowingly ): Kyu..? Wo teek nahi hai kya..??

Mukti and Cabir looked at Manik, whose face was filled with frowns and curious eyes..

Cabir: Kya mathlab, Bhai..??

Manik: Arey..wo..hospital mein hai tho wo teek nahi hai kya..usse kuch hua hai kya..

Mukti ( smirked ): Bhai, jaha thak mujhe yaad hai, aapko unke fikar hi nahi, phir...ye kaise..

Manik ( looked here and there ): Mu..mujhe..koi fikar nahi..It was just called..uh..humanity..

Cabir and Mukti shared a look...

Cabir ( thought ): Manik Bhai is stammering, mathlab jhoot bol rahe hai, was he concerned for Nandini..Par kyu...

"So, what if in the mean time, Bhai falls for that girl..??"

Mukti's words rang in Cabir's ears and he again looked at Manik who was trying to maintain his calm..

Cabir ( thought with a worried face ): God ji, is Bhai falling for Nandini...Shit..kya yeh sahi hai..she tho doesn't even have any interest in this marriage aur Bhai yaha...yar..ye kya ho raha hai..Was Mukti right all along..??

Mukti ( thought ): Damn, Bhai was concerned for Bhabi, mathlab daal mein kuch kaala hai...Hayee, mein khushi se pagal na hojaaon..Bhabi is the perfect girl for Manik Bhai, only she could get the real side of my Bhai..

Manik: Koi bolega ab...hum yaha kyu aaye hai..

Soon, he saw Nandini coming outside the hospital but her attire shocked him. She was wearing a doctor's coat..Mukti got out and hugged Nandini who hugged her back with a sad pout..

Nandini ( tiredly ): Jaana zaroori hai kya..

Mukti ( pouted ): Bhabi..mein aapkeliye plans banayi hoon aur aap hai ki..

Nandini ( smiled for Mukti ): Acha teek hai, mein tho bas mazak kar rahi thi..chalo..

Mukti hugged her in joy and opened the car's front door..

Nandini ( raised her eyebrow ): Mein Grumpy Coffee ke saath..??

Mukti: Ji nahi, aap apne husband ke saath beitne wali hai..ab andhar beitho na..pleasheeee...

Nandini's heart got melted and sat inside with a sigh and closed the door while Mukti occupied the back seat beside Cabir, who was still lost in thoughts..

Nandini ( frowned ): Ghoor kya rahe ho, Grumpy Coffee..??

Manik ( still shocked ): Tum...doctor's coat mein..kyu..??

Nandini ( sarcastically ): Oh, mein tho bhool hi gayi thi, aaj kal doctors engineer's coat mein kaam karthe hai na..

Manik: What non-sense..??

Nandini ( glared ): Exactly, isse non-sense hi bulana chahiye..Tum ek doctor se pooch rahe ho ki wo doctor's coat mein kyu hai..Are you even for real..??

Manik ( widened his eyes ): When did you become a doctor..??

Nandini ( sarcastically ): Kal raath 2 baje..

Manik glared at her..

Cabir: Iss dunya ki pehle ladka hoga aap Bhai jo apni beewi ke profession nahi jantha..

Mukti ( giggled ): I agree Bhai, Manik Bhai, Bhabi is a Gynecologist..

Manik ( shouted ): What...!!! You mean, she's a doctor..??

Nandini banged her hand on the dash-board of his car..

Nandini: Please enlighten me with your problems because I seriously find you unstable. Koi bath nahi, Mruno teek kar sakthi hai..

Cabir: Mruno...??

Mukti: Arey Bhabi ki friend, Miss Mrunal Singhania..jisse hum shadi mein dekha na..wahi..

Cabir: Oh wahi..but, how can she help Bhai..??

Nandini: Bhai, she's a Psychiatrist in this same hospital..

Mukti and Cabir laughed out while Manik simply glared at the 3..

Mnaik: Will you guys shut up..And I seriously need to ask the management of this hospital that what actually forced them to hire you in their organization..

Nandini: My personality and qualification forced them to hire me..Now, if you're done with your interrogation, please shut your mouth..I need to make a call to Mruno..

Mukti: Kyu bhabi..??

Nandini ( pouted ): Arey I don't go anywhere without her for having fun..I need to inform her, warna kal mein shaheed hojaoongi..

Mukti ( chuckled ): Uske zaroorath nahi hai, she's coming..

Nandini frowned at Mukti but then followed her gaze and found Mrunal walking to their car and got inside the car and sat beside Mukti..

Manik ( sarcastically ): Ye bhi aa rahi hai..

Mrunal ( screamed ): Hey Jeeju...

Manik palmed his ears and so his siblings while for Nandini, it was normal..

Nandini ( excitedly ): Tu ne mujhse bathaya hi nahi tu bhi aa rahi hai..

Mrunal ( winked at her ): Bathaya tho maza kaha kameeni..

Nandini: Oye khooni kahi ki, zyada bhav math dena..ek baar uss budhe Dean ko mein tumhara complaint karoon phir wo teri shadi hi nahi hone dega..

Mrunal: mene usse thodi poocha hai mere kanyadhaan karne keliye..

Nandini: Abey kanyadhan keliye nahi, teri honeymoon keliye ek saal leave jo chahiye, wo nahi milegi..waise bhi konsa insaan ek saal keliye jaathe hai..

Mrunal ( excitedly ): Arey mein jaoongi..ek hi trip mein shadi aur bache, isiliye kehthe hai honeymoon with benefits..

Nandini ( bored look ): Tu halal hojaegi ek din, wo bhi mere hath se..

While they were bickering when there wasn't even a reason, the rest 3 looked at them with shocked faces. What, actually is happening..

Mukti: Bhabiiiii...Mrunal Di....

MruNi: What...? Tum chilla kyu rahe ho..??

Mukti: Aap dhono lad kyu rahe ho..?

Nandini ( confused ): Hum dhono...kab..??

Cabir ( stunned ): Abhi jo hua usse kya kahenge phir..??

Mrunal: Arey hum tho bath kar rahe the..

Manik ( muttered ): Isse bath kahega tho ladai kaise hothe hai..

Nandini: tumne kuch kaha Grumpy Coffee..

Manik ( glared ): Mere koi izzath hai kya tumhare dimaag mein..

Nandini: Na dil mein ya na dimaag mein, main kisi ko bhi aaj thak izzat nahi diya..phir tumhe kyu doongi..?? Aur agar chahiye tho budhe hoja, unko tho main izzat dethi hoon..

Manik tightened his hold on the steering wheel and gritted his teeth in frustration while the rest giggled except for Mrunal who was enjoying the fight..

Mrunal: Jeeju, aap bhi iske saath jeeth nahi paega..waise, hum jaa kaha r....

And her sentence went in dustbin..

Mrunal: Freaking shit...Fluffy, honey bee alert...

Mrunal palmed her face while Nandini was clueless..

Nandini: Hum hospital mein nahi hai, Mruno..

Mrunal: Abey fluffy ki bachi, turn to your left..

And Nandini turned to her left only to see Aadit's scrutinizing gaze, she palmed her face and tried to hide her inside while closing the window. Once, he got confirmed, he started walking towards Manik's car..

Manik ( frowned ): Honey bee..??

Cabir: Par mujhe kahi dikh nahi raha hai..

Mukti: Even I'm scared of Honey Bee..

" Nandini.." Aadit called out for her while standing beside the car before Nandini could close the window fully..

Mrunal ( muttered ): Ye kameeni gaadi ke window bandh kyu nahi kiya..

Nandini ( fake smiled ): Hi Aadit..

Aadit ( sweetly ): Hi...Where are you going..?? Lunch keliye jaa rahe ho kya..??

Nandini ( bit her lips ): Um..kinda..actually, I'm on half day leave..

Aadit ( sadly ): Oh, but why..??

Nandini ( thought ): Thaaki mein jaldh hi tumhareliye ek ladki doondu aur tum mere peecha chodega..

Nandini ( fake smiled ): Uh..an outing..with family..

Aadit ( gave a nod ): Good..waise...who's this..??

Nandini followed Aadit's gaze only to see Manik looking or precisely examining him..

Nandini ( casually ): Oh this is Gr....Um..Manik Malhotra..

Manik simply hid his anger and gave a sarcastic grin to Aadit who also gave the same grin back..

Aadit: Hi Mr. Malhotra..I'm Dr. Aadit Sharma..Nandini's close friend..

Manik looked at Aadit who was busy in staring at Nandini with his sweet smile and he simply clutched the steering wheel in his fist..

Manik: Hi Mr. Sharma, I'm Nandini's husband..

Aadit looked at Manik with raging eyes on hearing it. He looked at Nandini who was staring at Manik in surprise. Rest of the 2 souls too had the same expression on their faces seeing him accepting himself as Nandini's husband while Mrunal was busy in hiding herself from Aadit. He always gets angry at her, in fact everyone, except Nandini..

Aadit ( gritted his teeth ): Husband..??

Nandini's head snapped at Aadit to see him fuming in anger and she simply made an irritated face..

Nandini ( thought ): Aaj Grumpy Coffee patha nahi kya sochke baath kar rahe hai aur yaha Honey Bee hai jo Lion ke den mein khud jaa rahe hai, mathlab Grumpy Coffee ke samne bhi apna gussa dikha rahe hai jisko gusse karne mein World Championship mila hai..Ab isse chutkara kaise milegi..

Nandini: Uh..Aadit..hume jaana hai..

Aadit gave a nod at her and stormed inside the hospital while Mrunal and Nandini sighed in relief..

Nandini: Bach gaye..huff..mujhe laga ye jaega bhi nahi..

Mrunal: Wahi tho..mein kabse hide kar rahi thi..

Mukti: Waise aap hide kyu kar rahi thi..

Mrunal: Because we just met Dr. Aadit Sharma, the most arrogant and attitude freak..

Cabir ( confused ): Par wo aise dikh nahi raha hai..he was behaving so sweet with Nandini..

Mrunal ( chuckled ): Of course, isiliye usne Aadit ko honey bee bula rahi hai..

Manik ( remembered something ): Honey bee..I have heard it somewhere..

Mukti: Of course Bhai, it's an insect..

Manik ( mocked ): Wow, tum tho intelligent nikli Muku..seriously..

Mukti grinned sheepishly..

Mukti: Waise Bhabi, why do you call him Honey bee..??

Nandini: Arey wo jithna chahiye usse bhi zyada sweetly bath karthe hai tho naam bhi aisa hona chahiye na..

Cabir: Just now, Mrunal said he was arrogant and you're saying that he's over sweet..chakkar kya hai..

Mrunal: Chakkar yahi hai, as a person he's way too arrogant and someone with lot of attitude but when it comes to fluffy, he's way too sweet..

Mukti: Par kyu..??

Mrunal ( grinned ): Because, she's his crush..

" What..." echoed the 3..

Nandini: Yar, ab ithna chilla kyu rahe hai..have you never had a crush on any girl or a boy..??

Mukti: Bhabi, you are Bhabi, I mean..you're a married woman..and he has a crush on you..

Nandini ( shrugged her shoulders ): Haa tho, this isn't any new feeling for him. He has this crush on me since a long time..Pehle tho mein usse Mr. Ferocious Godzilla bulathe the due to his attitude par jaise hi usne sweetly bath karna shuru kiya, usse promotion mila aur ban gaya Mr. Honey Bee..

Mukti, Mrunal and Cabir chuckled while Manik was looking at her in disbelief. He had anger in his eyes. Come on, how come someone can just have a crush on his wife..He doesn't want to accept her as his wife but how can someone think about making her his..

Manik ( angrily ): Okay, that's enough..Muku..kaha jaana hai tujhe..??

Mukti ( frowned ): The same Mall which I've told about, back in your office..Bhool gaya kya, Bhai..??

Manik simply nodded and started driving and the girls started to gossip while Cabir was staring at Manik who still had anger visible on his face..

Cabir ( thought ): Aadit ke crush Bhai ko ithna disturb kyu kar rahe hai..?? Jaise usne Aadit se bath karna shuru kiya, he was looking only at Nandini and Aadit time to time..Is it happening..?? Is Bhai, finally falling for someone..? As far as I remember, he wasn't even an inch possessive for Alya but Nandini, its different..God, will you help me to get to know the real reason behind Bhai's change of expressions..??

And God winked at him in return, asking him just to be a cupid of this lovely couple..
