Nandini 's POV

This Navya is continuously eating my brains after that ostrich incident. She again nudges my arm with a teasing look on her face. I wish I could punch my little sister. She calls me,"Di! Waise who was that guy? What were you two doing in the trial room? If you don't want to tell me then it is okay. I won't force you and by the way you two were looking so cute together".

First that pervert and now this girl. Enough is enough! I shout in her ear," Hear it crystal and clear. First thing, I do not know who that pervert was and second thing, I am surely going to tell chachi about your men's showroom adventure if you do not stop this interrogation. Understood?"

She laughs nervously hearing my threat. She fake cries," It was just a dare Di. How could I, Navya the dare devil, not complete it? Will you be happy after seeing me getting hit with mom's airplane floaters?"

Airplane floaters? Navya and her dictionary!

"What's airplane floater?"

"Arre flying chappal di! How could you not get that? I think you need some special Navya English Classes."

" Na na I am happy with flying chappals."

-------------------------------

Finally, home sweet home. Here I am sitting in bliss under the air conditioner. It is so better in here than roaming outside in 47°C with a skin burning hot wind blowing every single second. The loo has worsened. You can feel your flesh melting like wax. My reverie of thoughts break when I hear the scary enough scream of chachi. Can't anyone let me live in peace aiyappa? I get up and reach the source from where chachi was screaming. I open the door of Navya 's room only to witness an angry chachi spitting fire with her eyes and Navya looking at the earth as if she wants to escape from there.

But why all this? I look here and there to find some clue. My eyes fall on that shirt which she bought today. Did chachi..? No way! I should ask chachi first before judging anything.

''Chachi what is the matter?'' I manage to ask her after taking several deep breathes. 

''Nandu dekh teri behen ko!''

Navya says,''Di ne mujhe kayi baar dekh rkha hai mom.'' It is not the time for any witty answer mad girl. Stupid girl! 

''Chachi aap batao what happened and Navya dare you speak anything''

''She was clicking pics of this men's shirt when I came in. Dekh Nandu dekh isne abhi se boyfriend banane shuru kr diye hai aage jaake kya karegi?''

Navya opens her mouth to say something but I shut her by stomping my foot on hers. She will surely get some airplane floaters is she does not stop her nonsense. What should I do to stop this volcano from erupting? Think Nandini think. Although she is one heck of a troublemaker yet she is my sister. It was just a dare but chachi won't be able understand it now. She is angry as hell! Think think think think think....Idea! I hold chachi's shoulders and say sweetly,'' Chachi Navya bought this shirt for chachu. She wanted to give him a surprise so she sent me the picture and asked if it was okay.'' 

Navya bobs her head like anything merrily. Chachi looks at the shirt suspiciously but then says,''It is not his size. I will go with you tomorrow and exchange this with something which matches his taste.'' 

Navya teases her,'' Haan haan Dad ka taste to aapko hi pta hoga na Mom mai to bachchi hu.'' She winks at her. This girl is really some weird species. A minute ago she was so scared of chachi and now she is teasing her. I wish I were her real sister. I so miss my mom!

''Hatt pagli!'' Chachi bangs Navya's head and blushes. 

We sing,'' Pyaar hua ikraar hua hai pyaar se phir kyu darta hai dil. Pyaar hua ikraar hua hai pyaar se phir kyu darta hai dil. '' It is so good with them. They are a happy family. I wish I could have one. Shut up Nandini! What are you thinking? It is your family only. 

''Acha acha bs bs. Listen kids go get ready. We will be leaving for the event. Aiyyo! It is already 8. We only have half an hour. Come down in a minute.'' She leaves. I was also about to leave when Navya hugs me from behind and murmurs a thanks.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I  would have been tortured by boredom if Navya would not be there. Mom asked me to attend the guests nicely. I bet she will use this opportunity to find a groom for me and Navya. I remember that day when I unintentionally eavesdropped mom and chachi's kitchen conversation. Mom was stressing on for chachi's approval to find some DECENT guys for Navya and me as well. I know she is concerned for my and Navya's future but we are just 26 and 22 respectively. So after a never ending Mahabharata they came to a conclusion that they will make us meet some guys and if we do not like them then they will not touch this topic till we are ready to get into this marriage thing. Chachi handled everything perfectly. She knows that I do not want to marry this soon. She effortlessly made Mom agree the deal.

 Navya tells her girl gang about the shirt incident making them laugh hard. She pouts animatedly. I pull her cheeks and chuckle. Suddenly I feel thirsty so I excuse myself and look for water. I see a waiter coming in my direction. Taking hurried steps I hold one glass but my life is incomplete without interruptions because there is another hand which holds it from the other side. I look above to see the one who is not leaving it after my failed attempts to take the glass. 

''You!'' We both speak better say shout at the same time giving each other murderous looks. Not again! I try to snatch the glass but that ostrich is not leaving it. Both of us are not ready to give up and finally none of us gets it as it falls down and breaks into pieces. I notice that everyone is looking at us wide eyed. I move a few steps back noticing an inch distance between our bodies. Navya is giving me teasing looks whereas mom is glaring at me. Lets stay in hell for some hours. I laugh nervously and pat his arm saying loudly,''We should not play these silly games here. Right FRIENDDD?'' I stretch the word friend to gain his attention but he is such an ostrich head. 

''What friend?'' He notices the crowd and continues,''Oh yaa! Friend..You are right friend.''

Hearing our talks mom relaxes and comes forward. 

Mom says,'' It is good to hear that you two are friends. I thought that you two were fighting for a glass.'' How do you think so right mom?

"But why are you saying like that mom and  do you know who is he ?" I ask her. Some kichdi is surely being cooked in that head of her's.

"You will get to know by the end of the day sweetie. Good things come to those who wait." saying so she leaves the place to greet the other guests .

I and ostrich look at each other confusingly and then we both leave from there ignoring each other. 

As I again make my way towards Navya I get a call from Abhimanyu, my PA informing that Khurrana's  are here and I need to receive them . AHHH!!! I don't even want to meet them, groaning to myself I move forward to meet the Khurrana family. Today is gonna be a long evening.

------------------------------

Manik's POV :

After coming back home after the fiasco in the mall I get to know that I need to attend a party hosted by The Murthy's. I hate attending these family events.

I go to Mom's room to tell her that I am not attending the party. I find mom busy in selecting an attire for the evening's event. " Mom I don't want to attend the event. I have an important work this evening " I tell her making a puppy face. " Manik I am afraid, but you should attend the event this evening it's something very important and your dad may not like it if you don't attend the event". I roll my eyes at the mention of dad. Did dad even like any of the thing I did until now?.

"But mom I am busy this evening " I whine . My whining is interrupted as the devil himself I mean my dad enters the room . " Neyonika  I am not able to find my spectacles ." His attention shifts towards me. "Manik what are you doing here ? " he asks me . "Dad I don't want to attend the party this evening. I am busy" I answer him. 

"Even your elder brother who is much more busier than you is attending the party this evening Manik, just because you teach a group of children how to dance doesn't make you busiest person in the world" . "But dad" he stops me again by telling " And the amount you have asked for the payment of the rent of your dance school will reach your bank account by tomorrow if you attend the event today. Now end of the discussion " he leaves the room.

"Why can't he support me once like he did for Cabir always ?" I ask mom. She doesn't have any answer as always. I move towards my room.

Shutting the door of my bedroom I lie down on the bed thinking about my life . Dad has never supported me once like he did Cabir bhai always. Cabir bhai was always the opposite of me . In the eyes of dad he was a perfect son who took over Pankaj chacha's company as soon as he turned 23 and completed his MBA from Oxford University. Dad also expected the same from me. But business was never my thing . I could never imagine myself dressed in a suit attending the meetings and signing deals. I actually wanted to become a professional dancer cum singer of which I dreamt from my childhood. When I was 18 years old I even started a band with my other two friends Dhruv Vedant and Aryaman Khurana without dad knowing. We even recorded few song and dance videos which were composed by ourselves which became a sensation in YouTube after a few days of their release . I was very happy . I thought with this I could even step into Bollywood to prove myself. But my happiness didn't last long as dad came to know about this. He warned me and my friends to stop all these and just concentrate on our studies. I thought that Dad will understand me as days pass but with passing time he became pig-headed about me joining Pankaj chacha's company as soon as I turn 21. On my 21st birthday I took a six months time from dad to decide about my future. I started a dance school for children to earn some money on  my own . I even did modelling and worked as a model for Archana Murthy one of the leading fashion designers in our country and the same person who's party I need to attend today evening. Sighing to myself I get up from the bed and head towards the wash room to take a shower and get ready for the party.

After getting ready I go downstairs to find Pankaj chacha all ready in his suit. Pankaj chacha was the one who founded Malhotra Industries. While dad was busy preparing for UPSC exams to become an IPS officer, Pankaj chacha was busy running after the investors to invest in his startup . And after  a lot of hard work   Malhotra Industries reached a top place. But, to my surprise Pankaj chacha never married making me and Cabir bhai as the only heirs to the industry.

"You look handsome Manik" chacha compliments me "kuch naya sunao chacha when didn't I look handsome " I ask him to which he just rolls his eyeballs and laughs. My relation with chacha was indeed good as compared to Dad's and my relationship. We both leave to the party as I came to know that Mom and Dad already left for the party and Cabir bhai will be coming to the party directly from the office.

----------------------------

The party was on a swing and the preparations were excellent. Chacha went to meet the hosts of the party who were already talking to my parents and I went to drink some water as I was extremely feeling thirsty due to the heat outside.

I walk towards the waiter who was holding the tray of water glasses . I take a glass from the tray but I am interrupted again as my glass was also held by another hand. I tilt my neck downwards to see the same person from the mall . It was Miss Unknown. Bas yehi kam tha meri life mein.

And after a lot of drama and me and Miss Unknown become friends accidentally . We both walk away from each other. I came to know that Miss unknown was Mrs Archana Murthy's daughter. 

I find Aryaman Khurana my best buddy along with his family and his conceited  twin sister Bitchana Khurana aka Suhana Khurana . Bitchana is the nick name I gave to Suhana as she acts like a bitch always. The both names rhyme too . I am talented you see.

I and Aryaman  settle ourselves in the luxury chairs and speak about the random things.

Suddenly we find a group gathering and we hear Suhana's voice. She is probably shouting at someone. 

As I and Aryaman move towards the group the scene  Suhana shouting at a girl comes into my vision . She was the same girl who was there with Miss Unknown today morning in the mall. 

"You know what Navya even if you spend all your life savings on me you can't probably afford this dress. And bitch how dare you to spill your juice on my dress. Were'nt your eyes working properly or wait are you jealous that Harshad left you and started dating me so you are playing this cheap tricks on me huh?"

"Suhana I already apologised to you for spilling juice on your dress but you are the one dragging this too far. And I am rather happy being alone than dating a jackass like Harshad . You know what you should definitely date him since birds of a feather flock together". Damn this girl is really brave she has guts to fight with bitchana. Bitchana couldn't take the insult and raised her hand to slap Navya but her hand was stopped by another hand from reaching Navya's cheek.

It was Miss Unknown. Holding Bitchana's hand she glared at her. And then she said to the rest of the crowd "Drama over guys and  I am really sorry for the inconvenience caused due to this . But I will be very happy if every one returns to their seats forgetting whatever happened here ". Fortunately there were no elders present there to make a big issue out this. All the others return to their seats and continue their talks. I and Aryaman move towards Bitchana to bring her out of the party. But Miss Unknown stops us with her hand gesture and then she turns towards Bitchana  giving her a fake smile. "Wow Suhana you look very pretty tonight wait let me check you properly" and then she moves around Bitchana  checking her properly. Then she takes Bitchana's hand in her hold and speaks " I don't see any fur growing on your skin, neither any tail protruding out of your body nor any claws on your fingers instead of nails like a female dog then why are you behaving like one Suhana ?" . Suhana's face flushes bright she leaves the place stomping her feet like a kid without responding back. 

"Here comes out THE BADASS NANDINI MURTHY". I lift my head to see Cabir Bhai walking towards us and grinning at us ear to ear. Did he already know Miss Unknown aka Nandini?

"What a shame! I am meeting the person who claims to be my best friend after one year who doesn't even respond to my phone calls and messages" . Nandini  said to Cabir bhai.

"I missed you too Nandu " bhai said and hugs her. "Di how do you guys know each other?" Navya asks Nandini. "Cabir did his internship in our company and we both completed our MBA together in Oxford" .

"Nandini meet my younger brother ,Manik Malhotra". Bhai introduces me to Nandini who formally smiles at me. I return the favour to her. She then introduces us to Navya her younger sister. Aryaman apologizes to both the sisters on behalf of Bitchana and leaves us . Our group heads towards our families who are dining together this night.

I came to know that Nandini is the Asst. Managing Director of Murthy Departmental Stores. Devil aka my father and her are best friends through her and Cabir's conversations.

We have our scrumptious dinner with the Murthy's . Our families really got well together. Devil and Nandini are much more closer than  I expected. And towards the end of our dinner as we were having our dessert Mr.Murthy announced something which left four of us youngsters shocked.

His announcement was "We have decided that Cabir and Manik will be engaged to our daughters  Nandini and Navya respectively after two months"

Which means Nandini will be my 'BHABHI' and I will be her 'DEVAR'.

NO WAY !!!!

NOT IN A MILLION YEARS.

She is very khadoos to be my Bhabhi.
