U R MY STAR & I M UR SKY
Part 39:
Cabir: Manik.... Mukti!! Guys, come on we r getting late.
Cabir shouted as he entered the Malhotra Mansion.
Manik heard him & got out of his room & walked down. Cabir smiled at him & hugged him,
Manik: Someone's looking handsome!! Kisko impress karna h...
Cabir: Shut up!! Where is Mukti?
Manik: She must be coming where are Dhruv & Aliya?
Cabir: I called him. Romeo was at Juliet's place to pick her up. They must be on their way.
Manik: Good!!
Cabir: And Nandini?
Manik: Yeah.. Her place is in the way so I think we'll pick her up on our way to the venue.
Cabir: Yeah thats good.
Manik: MUKTI!!
Mukti: Coming Bhai....
Cabir: Ohh God.. These girls take so long to get ready.
Manik laughed at it when he heard foot steps walking down the steps. They both turned towards the stairs & saw Mukti standing down there.
And as they saw her, Cabir stared at her open mouthed, while Manik smiled and hugged her.
Manik: God Mukti u look amazing.
Cabir: Encapsulating!! U look like a girl yr...
Manik: Shut up cabir... U look beautiful...
Mukti smiled at him & thanked them. She was wearing a full length yellow-black dress. It was actually till her thighs & had a net after that. She looked absolutely like a princess, which she obviously was for her brother.
Soon Aliya & Dhruv joined them & they left to pick up Nandini. They reached to Moorthy Mansion and entered to see Nandini busy in some official work sitting in the living room with Varun, Mr. Kapoor & another girl. She was all ready & was wearing the same dress that Manik gifted her.
Manik saw her & stood numb. Cabir tapped his shoulder & said,
Cabir: U r definately gonna hv a tough time in the party bcoz of the guys ogling over her.
Manik: I think the same.
Cabir: Dude... Let me tell u I m definately gonna hit on her.
Manik hit him on his stomach with his elbow & smiled when Nandini said,
Nandini: So Varun... I hope u hv understood everything. I want this deal anyhow, so u better be prepared. Mr Kapoor are here to help u, so I hope u won't mess it up behind me.
Varun: I won't disappoint u Ma'am.
Nandini: Good...
Saying this Nandini signed a few files & passes it over to the girl
Nandini: Malini, these r ur files.. I hv read them all & I think we can start with this work. The responsibilities of the hospital will be over u behind me.
Malini: Sure Ma'am.
Nandini: I don't know, for how long I would be gone, but I think I'll be back in three-four days. If there is any problem call me. Mr Kapoor... Take care!!
Mr Kapoor nodded at her & she said,
Nandini: I think that will be all. See u all after a few days.
Mukti: Thank God its over...
Nandini turned towards the main door to see them all standing,
Nandini: Guys... Come in na... When did u all come?
Cabir: Just 5 minutes back.
Nandini: Sorry... I was just finishing up some work as we all are leaving tmrw mrng...
She indicated her employees to leave who nodded & left after wishing Manik.
Aliya: I love ur look today.... Its totally breath taking.
Nandini blushed at it & thanked her, stealing a look at Manik's face, which clearly was of admiration. He winked at her making her blush even more.
Nandini: I think we should leave.
Dhruv: Right... Lets go!!
Manik: Wait... Cabir where is ur date??
Cabir: DATE!! What Date?
Manik: U r not entering alone.. R u??
Cabir: Of course I m coming alone. Who will I get along?
Manik: Come on Cabir, don't u know its a couple entry event.
Cabir: No one told me...
Mukti: Ohh God now what?
Cabir thought about it for a moment & then picked up his phone. He dialed someone's number & waited for the person to pick up.
Aliya: Whom r u calling??
He didn't reply anything & then said on phone,
Cabir: Hey Where r u??.... Good.... I m sending u a address, get ready properly & come there within an hour...... No!! U will be entering as my date.... Don't think much & just come.
Cabir disconnected the call & Dhruv asked,
Dhruv: Whom did u call??
Cabir: Someone.... Problem solved I guess...
Mukti: But-
Cabir: Chill na yr Mukti...
Nandini: OMG... U called her??
Cabir looked at her, shocked. He didn't know what she was thinking.
Cabir: I don't know what r u thinking..
Nandini: Come on Cabir!! I know u better than u know urself. U be hard on her but somewhere deep down u really like her... Right??
Cabir: No!! Nandu don't be mad...
Nandini: I m mad!! And out of everyone, she was the first girl u thought to call.
Cabir: It was just random!!
Nandini: Nothing in this area is random Cabir.... Love comes from inside. Ur heart tells u, that u want the other person.
Cabir: LOVE.... No way!!
Manik: Come on Guys.... Enough!! Tell us also what is going on between u brother n sister. And who is this mistry girl..
Cabir: No one..
Nandini: Navya
Manik: U mean Black n White Madhubala- Navya.
Nandini hit him slightly & said,
Nandini: MANIK.. Shut up!!
Aliya: Is it true Cabir???
Cabir: No guys.. Nandu is just saying...
Nandini: Cabir yr!! We r ur frndz, at least tell us what u feel...
Cabir looked at her & then at the other shocked faces.
Nandini: Guys.. What do u all think?? We all don't know anything about his feelings....
She turned towards Cabir & then said,
Nandini: Come on cabir speak up.. tell us what u feel?
Cabir: What should I tell u when I myself don't know anything!!
Dhruv: What do u mean?
Cabir: I don't know yr... I hated her, I thought she was insane. But then slowly I realised that all her crazy ideas have something positive hidden. I don't know why I called her, maybe coz she is the only person after u all with whom I spend most of my time.
Aliya: Do u like her?
Cabir: I don't know yr guys, she works for me!!
Nandini: So what??
Cabir: I think we r getting late. Lets go!!
Nandini was about to say something when Manik held her hand indicating her to leave the matter for the time being.
Just then Abhi entered,
Abhi: Hello rockstars!!
All of them smiled at him & greeted him,
Abhi: Come on guys... Aren't u all getting late?
Mukti: We are!!
All of them left the Mansion to reach the venue. Manik & Nandini got in one car along with Cabir, while Mukbhi & Dhruliya followed in the next car. Half an hour later they reached the venue. Manik was happy to see that there was no media outside & the press was already inside. They got out of the cars & saw a taxi parked at the corner, when Navya came out of the taxi. She was wearing a designer suit. It was a full length kurti with a netted base. It was looking elegant & traditional.
Navya walked closer & Nandini stepped forward to hug her.
Nandini: Hey navya... How r u??
Navya: Hi.... I m Good!! Congratulations for this big day.
Nandini: Thank u & u look really nice today.
Navya: Thanks...
Cabir: I think we all should move in.
Nandini: Sure!!
All of them walked inside to the event hall & entered together as couples. Manik placed his hand on Nandini's waist & whispered to her.
Manik: I love the colour u r wearing today... It matches the colour of ur cheeks right now. Stop blushing so much Nandini.
Nandini looked at him as her blush darkened even more.
Nandini: Stop making me blush Manik.
Manik: U should be aware that there r pictures being taken of us right now. So look at the cameras & not my face, or i'll forget about this evnt and take u away somehwere else.
Nandini: What can I do if the site is so eye catching that I can't take my eyes off it.
Manik smiled at it looking at her & this time Nandini finally looked at the cameras finally giving off a few perfect pictures before they finally moved in.
