RECAP

Party in Malhotra Mansion. Nandini's bhabhi, Ishani met the Khanna family and offered Simran Khanna a job at her restaurant. Payal's sister Natasha is about to slap a Khanna child but Nandini intervenes and saves them. Nandini now came face to face to Aryan whom she had pranked in college.

**********************************************

Wait, Guddu tu janta hai isse?" Pooja asked. Payal and Nandini both looked at each other and stopped themselves from laughing when they heard what she called him.

"Haan Ma, actually.... yeh mere college mein hai." Aryan told his Mom without revealing exactly how he knows them.

" Vaise, thank you so much....humare bachon ko help karne ke liye." Simran said.

"Yeh teeno aapke bache hai?" Nandini asked.

"Haan, Amu meri beti hai, Dhruv aur Muskaan meri nanand ke bache hai" Simran replied, "Btw I am Simran."

"Payal."

"I'm Nandini" Nandini replied and shook her hand after Payal did.

"Meri nanand." Ishani spoke up.

"Oh...toh aap iski baatein kar rahi thi?" Simran asked.

"Haan."

"Once again thank you so much."

"Arre pls dont thank me. I love kids I hate jab bachon ko koi aise mistreat kare. Main kabhi aisa hone nahi de sakti."

"Haan and I'm very sorry jo meri behen ne kiya uske liye.." Payal apologized.

"No problem beta....tumhari koi galati nahi hai." Pooja smiled warmly & Payal. At that moment Nandini's phone beeped telling her she got a msg.

She looked down at her phone & then excused herself from there. "Ill just be back in a sec."

She then made her way to the back of the house where the main switch board was and opened the compartment door.

Ting!

'Now.' After reading the text, Nandini flipped one of the switches and all the lights in the house turned off.

"Arre!"

"Whats going on?"

"Kya ho raha hai?"

"Lights ko kya ho gaya?"

Everyone wondered what happened and looked around confused.

Ting!

'Turn the lights back on.' Nandini flipped the switch back making the lights turn on. Once the lights turnes on, everyone noticed a large gift box in the center of the room.

"Yeh kya hai???" Gayatri Malhotra asked.

"Aap dono ki Anniversary gift!" Nandini, who had returned back spoke up with a smile.

"ITNA bada gift?" Baldev asked.

"Trust me DJ. You will love it." She replied before going to the music system and starting the music. The box opened with a puff of smoke.

A guy stepped out of the smoke. Anjali Malhotra smiled with tears in her eyes and the rest of the Malhotra family also looked on happily.

Yeah! Baby When U See Me
Comming Yeah!
Yeah U Better Run For Cover
Yeah
Cos U Know When I Find U
Yeah
Yeah Im Gonna Be Your Lover

As the guy sang, all the girls swooned.

Yeah Im Gonna Be Your Lover
Yeah! Baby When U See Me
Comming Yeah!
Yeah U Better Run For Cover
Yeah
Cos U Know When I Find U
Yeah
Yeah Im Gonna Be Your Lover

The guy took turns dancing with the girls and flirting while they all giggled.

Tujhse Log Kahnge

Na Kar Pyaar Mujhe
Mein To Lakh Bura Hoon
Need Chura Loon Hosh Uda Doon
Main To Baahon Mein Le Ke
Raah Bhula Doon Baat Bana Doon

He came upto Nandini and pulled her onto the dance floor to dance with him.

Chahe Jahaan Dil Ko Chupaa
Baaton Hi Baaton Main
Do Mulaqaton Mein Le Loon

Bachna Ae Haseena
Lo Mein Aa Gaya
Ae Bachna Ae Haseeno
Lo Mein Aa Gaya...

The guy stopped singing and everyone started clapping.

"Manu! Mera bacha!" Anjali came over to her son and gave him a warm hug " Kitna patla ho gaya tu. Goa mein thik se khata nahi tha kya?"

"Mom...maine aapko bohot miss kiya." Manik laughed and hugged back. "And your filmy Ma wale dialogues."

"So, DJ...Dadi, kaisi lagi aapka yeh gift?" Nandini looked at Prithvi and Gayatri who were now taking turns welcoming their grandson home with hugs.

"Bohot acha laga. This is the best gift. Thank you bacha." Gayatri smiled and kissed Nandini's forehead.

"Mujhe lag raha tha ke tu kuch chupa rahi thi humse...." Prithvi also gave Nandini a hug.

"Wow....Yeh sahi hai. Surprise meri hai aur iss Nandu ki bachi ko saara credit aur pyar mil raha hai?" Manik complained.

"Right...as if you could have pulled this out without my help." Nandini nudged Manik with her elbow playfully.. At that moment, Yash walked up to his son.

"Now that you are back, aur koi trip nahi hoga. Bohot hua Masti, you have already missed too much of College."

"Yash aap bhi na! Mera bechara bacha abhi abhi vapas aaya hai aur aap iske piche lag gaye." Anjali scolded Yash. Sighing, Yash held his hands up in defence while Vikram walked over with his family.

"Vikram Bhaiyya...Pooja. This is my chote bete, Manik." Anjali introduced Manik.

"Hello beta." Vikram smiled. Manik greeted everyone until it was Aryan's turn. "Yeh mera sabse chota beta hai, Aryan."

"Yeh bhi humare saath college mein hai right?." Manik added.

"Haan...tumhe kaise paata?"

Manik looked at Nandini with a smirk before looking at Vikram again, "Oh...just a guess uncle."

"Aryan is also a topper....tujhe kuch seekna chahiye isse Manik. Kitna responsible aur studious hai." Yash said patting Aryan's back.

"Its nice to meet you." Manik shook hands with Aryan. When nobody was looking, he leaned closer to Aryan and whispered, "Lekin mujhse milna tumhare liye utna nice nahi hoga"

******

Payal was looking around when she spotted Aryan standing alone in a corner. Slowly she took a deep breath and then walked towards him. When she was standing infront of him, he looked at her.

"I just....wanted to say, things between you & Nandini are getting way out of hand. Tum dono dosti kyun nahi kar lete?" Payal said.

"Really? Tum chahti ho ke hum dosti kare.....she trapped me in a classroom."

"Aur tumne bhi uske gadi ki fule tank khali kar di jiske vajah se woh baarish mein phas gayi. None of you were seriously hurt."

"Tum uske dost ho aur hum dono ek dusre ko jaante bhi nahi so why do you think you can come here and try to explain to me."

"Because mujhe nahi lagta ke tum ek burre insaan ho." Payal replied. "And you may think otherwise but Nandini bhi burri nahi hai...haan thodi se laad pyar mein pali badi hai ktunki uske Bhai ne akele paala hai usse par dil ki achi hai. Tum Yash uncle ke dost ke bete ho...and Nandini is Manik's best friend. Bohot baar amna samna hoga tum dono ka...dont you think its better ke tum dono sula kar lo? Just....think about that pls." At that moment some kids ran by and Payal was pushed towards Aryan.

"Sorry..." Payal said and turned to leave but was stopped by a tug at her hand. She looked back and saw that her bracelet was stuck on the cuff of Aryan's suit. Aryan and Payal both tried to take it off when their hands touched and they felt a shock. They looked at each other in confusion and Payal was the first to recover, she quickly untangled her bracelet and left Aryan deep in thought.

*************

"Manik...kya kar rahe ho tum?" Nandini looked around to see if anyone was nearby as Manik poured vodka into a glass of pepsi.

"What? Party hai...thodi si masti toh banta hai." Manik winked.

"Koi aisa vaisa party nahi hai. Its DJ & Dadi's Anniversary party, Yash uncle ne specifically yeh sab drinks ban kiya hai aur tum..."

"Relax Nandu....mere liye nahi hai." Manik chuckled.

"Phir?" Manik gave her a look and then she understood, "Aryan?"

"Bingo."

"Dont you think yeh thoda zyada ho raha hai?" Nandini asked.

"Look...you want Aryan out of college right?"

"Haan...."

"And I want him out of my house. Like seriously, mere aane ka 20 minute bhi nahi hue & Dad ne compare karna shuru kar diya. Aryan yeh...Aryan woh....as if I didnt have enough problems with Dad already." Manik then held up the glass, "Yeh drink do cheezein karega. First, usse paata chalega ki humse panga nahi lena hai and Second, prove to my Dad that he isnt perfect."

"No." Nandini shook her head and took the glass away from Manik, "Hum yeh nahi karenge."

"Arre..." Manik protested.

"No Manik....limit hota hai, Tum yeh nahi karoge...I wont let you."

"Ok....Ok...Ok... fine, I wont. Khush?"

"Good." Nandini kept the glass back on the table. "Lets go enjoy the party now."

"Haan...." Manik followed Nandini.
