A Porsche Cayenne fleeted on the busy roads of New York city. The sun was setting painting the sky in pink and orange. The car was parked in front of a huge mansion and a man got out of it. He marched inside the house with a stern expression indicating his mood was off. A butler came running towards him.

"Good evening Mr. Malhotra! Would you like some tea?" He asked in concern.

"Keep my things inside my room" Manik said and went to the private bar in his house.
He fixed himself a drink. Sipping the drink all he could remember was the happy times he spent with Nandini. He suddenly had the urge to see her. He didn't know why he wanted to see her.

"Hello! This is Manik Malhotra. Listen I want all details of Nandini Murthy, who happens to be an intern in my company. I've her basic information in the office directory but I want more," he ordered and cut the call.

Going to his room he opened his laptop and searched for Nandini's information from the directory. He got her house address. Noting it down he started thinking whether to go or not. To get over this dilemma he again started drinking until he slouched against the wall.

•~•~•~•~•~•

Nandini's POV:

I'm currently undergoing mixed emotions. I don't know whether to be happy or sad. First in the morning I fought with that stupid Inaya. Then Manik supported me but later when I thanked him he had to show attitude to hurt me. Huh! I'm sick and tired of all this. If not for my job I wouldn't have been here.

The door bell rang and I opened the door. My sweetheart, my brother stood there with a smile. I'm seeing him after two days. First he went for a play date and then he stayed back at his friend's place. He went to school directly and now returned home.

"How are you Rishu?" I asked him or rather cooed him by ruffling his hair.

He signalled me that he is good and going. I asked him to freshen up. As he left to his room I thought of dialling Navya's number for a stay over night at my place. It was a long time since I had a girl's night with her. I dialled her number and she picked up the call on the second ring.

"Hi Navya!! How are you? Are you free tonight? If so let's have a night out," I spoke in one breath.

"Well hello to you too Nandini. I'm fine and yes I'll come to your house. Don't cook I'll get pizza for the three of us," Navya offered and I accepted.

Now I waited for her to come. Rishabh had homework so he wouldn't disturb. I changed into a pink night suit of mine so that it would be comfy.

•~•~•~•~•~•

Ding dong! The bell rung. Nandini who was watching some random sitcom got up from the couch and went to the door. She opened the door only to see an excited Navya standing there with a silly grin on her face and a bag in her hand.

"Hi Navya! Come in!" Nandini hugged Navya and let her in.

Navya was dressed in a blue night dress which was similar to the one Nandini was wearing. She came in and placed the bag on the table.

"What plans Nandini?" Navya asked.

"I'll give one pizza to Rishabh and tell him not to disturb us. Then let's Netflix and chill," Nandini revealed her perfect girls night plan to Navya.

Navya showed a thumbs up to Nandini indicating she loved the plan. Nandini dished out one pizza to Rishabh.

"Rishu Navya di has come. So I'm spending some girls time with her tonight. This pizza is your dinner. Have it and sleep soon. Don't disturb us," Nandini instructed to which Rishabh nodded his head like an obedient kid.

Nandini came out and within a few seconds Rishabh also came out following her tail. He greeted Navya and then filled his water bottle. He wished them goodnight and retired to his room. Navya in the meantime had dished out the pizzas, coke and set up Netflix too.

"What are we watching?" Nandini asked settling herself on the sofa.

"We are binge watching 13 Reasons Why," Navya answered and Nandini nodded.

Both of them started watching the show while eating their pizza and sipping their coke. They were having a good time with each other when the doorbell rang.

Manik was drinking continuously. He looked at the screen of his phone which now had Nandini's address. With great difficulty he got up from the floor where he was sitting. He started walking but his body wobbled. Holding the wall nearby, he saved himself from falling.

Descending the stairs he went to the door and took his car key. Mark, an old servant ran towards Manik.

"Where are you going sir? You're drunk," he exclaimed holding Manik who was swinging.

"Ssshhh... Don't tell anyone Mark. I'm going to her house," Manik replied in a boyish tone and giggled.

The old man looked at Manik, confusion marring in his face. 'Why was The Manik Malhotra talking in a boyish tone?' Mark thought.

"Who is she?" Mark asked.

"I won't tell you," Manik shook his head.

His drunk behaviour was a little new to all of them because Manik would never drink out of limit and even if he did so he would be in his room with God knows which bimbo. Now that he was behaving like this the poor servant was confused.

"What's happening here?" a voice boomed in the hall.

"Cabiraa!" Manik shouted and went to Cabir who was standing there all exhausted.

"Hey! Careful Manik," Cabir held him and made him sit on the couch.

"What happened Mark?" Cabir asked removing his tie.

"Sir, Mr Malhotra is drunk and said that he wants to go to a girl's house," Mark replied.

"Manik not again! Enough of....." Cabir stopped in the middle to see his brother looking at him with a cute pout.

'Good Luck Cabir! Your brother is a gone case today," Cabir thought to himself.

"Umm... Manik why are you looking at me like that?" Cabir asked with a nervous smile.

"I want to go to her house. I promise I'll not misbehave," Manik said pinching his throat.

"No! You're not going anywhere. You're drunk. Now have dinner and go to sleep," Cabir said and held Manik's hands to take him to the room.

Manik pushed away Cabir and turned around. Taking wobbling steps he went to the main door. Cabir immediately ran towards his brother and held him back. With great difficulty he made him sit on the couch.

"Manik stop being a kid," Cabir reprimanded him.

"You let me go or else take me there," Manik threatened him in his monster tone.

"What if I don't," Cabir asked keeping his hands on his waist and tapping his foot.

"Please!!! Pretty pleeeaaaaaasssseeee!!! I'll take you out for dinner tomorrow to your favourite restaurant," Manik offered.

"Whose house do you want to go in the first place?" Cabir asked in a giving up tone.

Obviously food was a main priority. He knew he can handle his brother well.

"Nandini," Manik said with a boyish grin.

"Who?" Cabir asked cocking an eyebrow.

Manik showed him the photo making Cabir's jaw drop on the floor.

'She is the same girl who was fighting with Inaya today. Omg! Manik wants to harm her because she fought with Inaya. I'll not let him do that,' Cabir decided.
