"manik sir ne nandini mam ko office le jane ka decision liya hai...agar woh ek baar office mein aa gayi then humara plan flop ho jayega" said priya

"no!!!! Mein meri itni saal ki mehnat ko aise fail nahi hone de sakti ..... Abb bhaiya se mein baat karungi..." said preeti

"Nandini.....Be ready for my counter attack"

The same day, nandini was happy with her success. But still somewhere inside her there was a feeling that preeti might be up to something.

She was walking through the corridor thinking about the same.

********

"abb tak toh preeti ko pata chal gaya hoga mere planke baare mein...let's see ab woh kya krti hai" thought nandini

********

Its manik's bedroom now. Preeti walks inside to find manik sitting on the couch working on his laptop.

"bhai...mujhe pata chala ki app kal se bhabi ko office le kar jaa rahe hai??" asked preeti

"hmm..." manik nodded eyes still on the laptop screen.

"but why...Bhabi ko achanak office???" asked preeti in an angry tone

Manik looked up with a bit shock.

"han...kuin?? Is there any problem?" asked manik

"bhai...mein baas itna kehna chahati hun ki agar ek baar bhabi job karne lagi toh phir woh apka aur ghar kaa acche se bilkul khayal nahi rakh payegi..." said preeti

"preeti... You know that i believe in complete independence....agar nandini job karna chahati hai toh woh kar sakti hai...." replied manik

"kya apne unhe puccha ki woh job karna chahati hai yaa nahi??" asked preeti

Manik knew that it was him who may have forced nandini to take a job so that he could keep an eye on her.

"no!!! But i think woh khush hai....because jab maine usse yeh baat boli tab usne ek baar bhi mana nahi kiya" replied manik trying to console his heart and preeti's doubts.

"woh toh nahi puchengi bhai ....woh apki wife jo hai....aur bhai ...app yeh sab bolke kisi aur ko bewokoof bana sakte hai..lekin apnk choti behen ko nahi...toh chaliye abb saach batayiye" said preeti sitting beside manik with a cute smile on her face.

"you won't spare me without knowing the truth right??? " asked manik.

"nope..." saying this preeti leans on manik's shoulder.

"accha thik hai..then listen...but yeh baat hum dono ke beech mein renhi chahiye...." said manik

"ok" replied preeti

Then manik explained everything about his insecurities towards nandini. Preeti listened carefully and at the end had a big smile on her face.

Preeti's provo: toh yeh tha tumhara pura plan....but afsoos !!! Ab iss plan ki mein aisi dhagiya udangi ki ap mujhe humesha yaad rakhengi...meri pyaari bhabi"

"hello !!kya soch rahi hai" preeti was dragged back to the reality by manik

"arre bhai...itni si baat ke liye apko bhabi ko office le jane ki kya jarurat hai??" asked preeti

"i don't have any other option" answered manik

"yes you have!!! I have an idea jisse bhabi ghar mein hi rehegi aur app unn par nazar bi rakh sakte hai" said preeti with a smile

"accha...bata toh phir" said manik

Then preeti explained her plan to manik. After she completed ,there was a smile on manik's face too. He seemed to like the plan.

"that's a nice idea....." said manik

"but iske liye hume jo bhi instruments chahiye , we have to order them first....." said preeti

"don't worry...mein priya ko abhi bol deti hun...woh kaam kar degi" said manik

Manik dialled priya's number.

" hello priya?"
"listen i have a work for you"

**********

After sometime when nandini entered her bedroom , she found out that manik was in the washroom.

So she opened her wardrobe and tried to decide her dress for tomorrow.

While she was thinking what to wear , manik came out of the washroom.

He was a bit shocked to see nandini standing beside her huge wardrobe or rather say beside her piles of dresses.

"what is this?" asked manik

Nandini turned to see manik standing with his hand folded.

"just trying to decide kal kya pehen kar office jaun?" said nandini agaib looking at her piles of dresses

"nandini, tum kal mere saath office nahi aa rahi" said manik in a stiff tone.

"what!!!" colour drained out of nandini's face. She knew something would happen. But never expected that her plan to fail so badly.

" but apne toh kaha tha ki mein apke saath kal office chalungi?? Phir aise suddenly..." but manik didn't let nandini complete her statement.

"han kaha tha!!! Lekin abb keh raha huin ki tumhe office ane ki koi zarurat nahi...." said manik

"but...." continued nandini in an irritated tone.

"no buts....jab maine ek baat keh di toh tumhe manna hi padega..and don't you dare argue!!" manik warned nandini

An irritated nandini walks outside the room .

***********

After few seconds she entered dhruv and cabir's room. And sat on the bed with a thud.

That scared the hell out of dhruv and cabir who were sitting on the couch.

" bhabi!!!! Kya hua???" asked dhruv

"haan bhabi...app itne ghusse mein kuin hai?" asked cabir

The brothers were now standing beside nandini.

"our plan failed!!! Usse preeti ne kuch toh aise kiya hai jisse manik mujhe office le jane se mana kar diya" said nandini in an angry tone

"mujhe pata tha ki we can't underestimate her....uski itni saal ki mehnat ko woh aise waste nahi hone degi" said dhruv

"but bhabi..usne bhaiya ko aisa kaha kya??" asked cabir

"kuch pata nahi mujhe...manik ne kuch bataya hi nahi ....appke bhai ne mujhe kabhj koi baat batayi hai jo ajj batayenge" said nandini...her anger increasing every second.

"calm down bhabi...abhi hume yeh pata karna hai ki preeti ne kya plan kiya hai" said manik

"usne joo bhi plan kiya ho...mein usse uski plan mein successful nahi hone dungi...." said nandini with a confident tone
