Hi, how are you all? Hope you are doing well. Now time for the new part. Don't forget to give me your views after reading the part.

That night Nandini called Manik and asked him to meet her at XYZ cafe at 10.
So, Manik is sitting with Nandini and his fake friends in front of them. They were looking at him with their big big eyes as if they are going to gobble him up. Manik gulped his saliva down in nervousness. He gave them a small smile and looked at Nandini with a pleading face. Nandini showed him eyes and Manik turned to other side.

N: let me introduce...Manik they are your parents and (showing Manik) he is your son Manik

(I will write FF for the fake father and FM for the fake mother.)

N: Manik, I have talked with them and made them understood everything. Now the rehearsal is left only.

FM: Kaise ho beta? (extra sweetly)

Manik nodded his head positively that he is ok. Manik was getting irritated seeing them (bechara Manik)

FF: Yeh ladka hamare sath acting kar payega? Dekho agar co actor accha nahi hein toh phir hum acting nahi kar pate hein.

FM: Haa agar sath wala accha nahi karega toh phir hum emotion, reaction miss karenge phir hamare acting kharab ho gayega. phir hame kuch math kahiye ga.

Nandini nodded her head as if she has understood everything. Manik was looking at them shockingly.

FF: ab dekhiye hum dono 250 films mein sath kam kar chuke hein. Hum ek dusre ko samajh te hein.

FM: Haa Amitabh Bacchan sein leke Siddharth Malhotra tak sab ka maa baap ka role hum ne play kiye hein.

Manik palmed his face and Nandini looked at them confusingly.

N: Aap logone Amitabh Bacchan ka bhi maa baap the?

FM: No, actually galati ho gayi hein. Bachpan mein hum unke bhai behen hua karte the.

Nandini nodded her head. Manik made a crying face.

FF: Toh koi miss maat karna. Acchese acting karna.

N: No, No don't worry. Waise bhi Manik is real life actor.

Manik suddenly looked at her with a face as if he has got a thousand current volt. Nandini looked at him with a nervous smile.

M: Before starting I want to talk to Nandini once in private.

FF: Sure. But remember if you don't rehearse and then at the stage you make fault then I won't leave you.

Manik folded his hand in front of them and told that
"Believe me I will rehearse with you but please let me talk once."

They nodded his head.
"Mam, please come out for a while."

Saying this Manik got up and went out and Nandini went behind him after saying Manik's fake parents to wait there for a while.

Outside of the cafe
M: Mam, please look at their face and look at my face from which angle I am looking like their son?

N: I have told you before as well that that's not a problem. They are actors. Doing the role of parents is not hard for them.

M: Exactly!!! That's what i am saying... They told that they had done 250 films..... I know I am a person who doesn't watch movies and all. But your parents? They will recognize them easily.

N: I am looking like a fool to you? My parents have not watched a movie til date. So, that's not a problem.

M: Okay..

Manik was looking down hesitantly

M: ummm mam, can I get some advance? Can you give me some money today?

N: sure..

M: Thank you. Actually I have not get money from my tuition student but I have to pay the bills so I need the money. I had thought that I won't ask you I really need it.

Saying this Manik left from there to rehearse with his fake parents.

Next day
At Nandini's house
Manik has come with his (fake) parents. He was sitting between them. Nandini was sitting on another coach with Dev and Durga.

D: Itna dur journey karke ane mein koi taqleef toh nahi hui na?

FF: Na, na, taqleef kyun hoga? Hum yaha paas mein hi toh rehte hein aur wo....

Before he could say anything more Manik stopped him
"Actually they have come yesterday at night only and I stay a little away from here. So, dad was saying that only. Right, dad?"

FF: Yes.

D: I was saying that we will go to village to meet you but Manik called you and trouble you unnecesarrily. Then we could have also roam the village and then met you.

N: No no papa it's ok. They did not face any trouble. They had some works. So, before coming there they completed some works.

FM: Jitna bhi kaam ho hum toh Nandini sein hi milne aaye hein.

FF: Yes. When Manik called me and told that he likes a girl, I was getting mad when I will meet her.

FM: After all Manik ki pasand hamare pasand hein. Aur hum usse kabhi kisi chees ke liye mana nahi karte hein.

Du: Ji ji yeh toh sahi hein.

D: Manik toh bohat hei accha ladka hein aur hume bohat pasand bhi hein.

FF: Sahi kaha apne Manik bohat accha ladka hein. Jaise dudh aur pani kabhi ek nahi hote waise hei accha aur bura bhi kabhi ek nahi hota. Hamara beta Manik accha hein waise apki beti bhi acchi hein.

Manik hold his in his grip to indicate him to stop. Manik look at Nandini and mouthed that they are overacting.

Du: Ji yeh toh bilkhul thik kaha apne. Manik aur Nandini ek sath kitne acche lagte hein.

At that time Manik saw that FM was taking out a note from her bag where her lines were written. Manik immediately hold her hand and pushed the note inside and showed his eyes.

Suddenly Manik shouted
"Oh shit, dad the time of the train has preponed."

D: Preponed? Matlaab? Aisa bhi hota hein kya?

M: Woh.. Actually uncle, hua yeh ki jis train sein mom dad jane wale they uska time tha 3 baje paar un logo ne bola ki kuch problem hein toh train 6 baje chodega. Aur ab text kiye hein ki train ushi time pe niklega. Hum toh 6 baje ki preparation liye the. Toh I was thinking that we should leave. Right, dad?

Then they bid bye to everyone and went from there.

At night
In Manik's apartment
Manik was telling everything to Cabir including the note wala scene. Cabir was laughing like hell.
Suddenly Manik's phone rang
C: Who's call is this?

M: Let me see.

Manik took out the phone and found the call from Dev.
"It's Dev, Nandini's father, Cabir..."

C: Tu toh gaya pakka tu pakra gaya hein.

Precap: Conversation with Dev.

Guess why Dev might have called Manik?
