Harshad was packing everything that he needs to carry with himself and all his friends were helping him out with his stuff. Suddenly he look upto mukti who was stuffing lot's of food into one big lunch box, harshad look at her with shock because of the amount of the food.

"mukti why are you packing this food? Its just a small journey i don't need food. You're just overthinking about me. Just forget it ok." Harshad said shutting the topic up but how can mukti stay without opposing.

"shut up you stupid. Now its packed and you have to take this with you and besides i instructed all the maids to cook just according to your taste. So don't waste yours as well as my time and just keep it into the bag." Mukti said being annoyed with his no no drama.

"abhimanyu bro please make her understand, she is behaving like i am going to kinder garden, it will be great help if you convience her." Harshad pleaded to abhimanyu looking at her.

Abhimanyu just smiled looking at him and the he looked at mukti and open his mouth to utter something in harshad's favour but mukti threw a deadly glare which made him shut his mouth instantly. kabir,dhruv and manik laugh on abhimanyu and abhimanyu gave them "i will see you soon" look.

"I don't want further discussion, you are going with this and thats final." Mukti announced keeping the heavy lunch box into his bag.

"Ok fine." Said harshad rasing his hands in air, accepting his defeat.

"for how many days you are going?" Asked manik while drinking the water.

"It's not days manik, it's weeks or expectedly months." Answered harshad making manik angry as hell.

All of them just got up from their respective places and shouted,"whatt?" And harshad just covered his ears.

"why are you shouting guys??" Harshad murmured while rubbing his ears.

"Has he gone mad totally?? How will we survive without you??" Snapped manik angrily with his nostrils flared in anger.

Harshad just laughed incoherently and murmured under his breath,

"Don't know when this boy will get his brains?? God please give him some brains and please some love too." Manik was so sensitive and always yearn for one thing that is love, harshad was a simple boy but knows manik in and out.

"It's some debate competition or he is sending you on summer vacations." Said dhruv and laugh at end but watching everybody serious face he pass everyone a goofy smile.

" you are not going anywhere." Announce abhimanyu in his authoritative voice, knowing his powers harshad just come before him.

"Abhimanyu we know how powerful you're but just think our college reputation is on stake and you're also from the same college na. Will you be happy if we loose because of your mistake??" Said harshad and abhimanyu just hug him.

"yes stupid principal, I thought that you are going for 2 or 3 days but that stupid is sending you for a month. Abhimanyu is doing right. Baby go for it." Mukti said looking at abhimanyu but he nod in no sadly.

"Dear friends i also don't want to go but i have to. The respect of our college is upon me. Guys pray for me." Harshad said and hug everyone around himself.

"But wait what about your studies. Why isn't our fucking principal is bothered about that."

"for that i have a plan." Said harshad with a little smile on his lips.

"what plan??" Interrogate manik.

"sorry but can't tell you now and as you guys know that its time for my train so bye."

He was going towards door suddenly all of them hugged him and mukti kissed his cheek and harshad kiss her forehead and then he went out to catch his train.

Then they all move to malhotra mansion. For them today's day was extra special because for the first time mukti is preparing something and from 2 hours they are waiting for her food while sitting in dining area.

"muktiii kuch milega aaj." Shouted kabir from the dining area directly looking at the direction of kitchen.

" just 2 minute." Mukti just shouted from the kitchen, it was the 28th time, she was giving them the same answer.

"from last 2 hours you are asking for 2 minutes" dhruv whined because of hunger.

"just tell us did you made anything or we should just order online." Manik said while scrolling his mobile screen.

"why are you annoying her for no reasons. For the first time she wants to make something for us so we should encourage her not troubling her like you." Viraj, viraj malhotra the dad of malhotra sibling just came up for the rescue of his only daughter in law.

"Yes yes dad ofcourse, i know today you will take her side for sure because you had your dinner out, the tasty tasty dinner at your favourite Italian restaurant. It's only us who are going to cry over food or because of the very tasty food mukti is preparing. It's us who are gonna have raw or burn veggies." Manik cried fakely making a cute face. Everybody laugh looking at his cute face.

"Manik baby it was you only who chose her as your bhabhi, so now bear with whatever she is doing." Said viraj and again open a office file while smiling on his little baby manik's face.

"Just listen to me manik, lets order something from restaurant. I am so freaking hungry." Dhruv shouted annoyingly.

"Don't know why today i am feeling like i am gonna sleep with empty stomach." Said abhimanyu keeping his hand under his chin, thinking deeply.

"No beta you should try it." Encouraged viraj and everybody look at him in return.

"Tadaaaaaa......" Mukti make a enthusiastic sound gaining everybody attention upon her. She just walked from the kitchen to the dining table holding a big bowl in her hands.

And she represents her dish in front of them and they were like what the fuck is this? Dhruv and kabir put their handkerchief on their mouth and manik look at mukti like she got horns on her head.

"what the hell is this mukti?" Manik asked when the burning smell of the dish reached his nostrils.

" manik its not hell its paneer butter masala." Mukti answered in cheerful tone.

Kabir look at the dish and took a serving spoon and asked stirring,

" mukti where are the paneer."

"Try to find it out kabir, i know you will get it. Do se hardwork after all hardwork always get reward." Said mukti and kabir look at her seriously.

"It's not LOC kargil, it's just food." Said kabir making a yuck face looking at the dish which was fully burnt.

"mukti one more thing why this dish is black." Dhruv quivered with desperation.

"I think i am having a headache so my kids enjoy your dinner. Good night." Saying this viraj just got up from his chair and left the hall instantly.

"it's is looking like shit." Remarked kabir eyeing the dish.

"so mukti tell me from which animal you got this??" Asked manik with gritted teeth.

Abhimanyu,dhruv and kabir burst out in laughter who just couldn't hold back their laughter watching mukti.

"what do you mean manik i made it." Mukti said coldly.

"then why its looking like shit of pig." Remark manik making mukti said.

" maaaanikkkkk......" Shouted mukti.

"mukti firstly i think you need to concentrate on your studies then i will arrange a special chef for you, he'll teach you but please till then don't try to make anything please." Manik just pleaded joining his both hands.

"seriously manik you must encourage me but you are accusing me." Mukti felt offended.

"mukti i will encourage you once i will plan to kill someone without giving him pain that day i will encourage you and i will appeal to our indian government to honoured with an award but please till then don't make anything." Manik just joined his hands before mukti.

"When your wife will come na then i will see." Mukti mumble.

"what will you see?" Asked manik.

" you will show your Tantrum to her or not." Said mukti making a bad face.

"mukti when my wife will cook something then i can bet you all of you will eat your fingers." Manik praised his wife and all of them just make a hooting sound.

" manik we will see, i know stupid like you can't get an angel. I know you will also pick some dumbo like....." Her words were cut by the manik himself.

"like my brother abhimanyu."

And saying this he ran to his room and close the door before mukti could catch him and all of them laugh.

"mukti ab tune itne pyaar se banaya hai to thoda taste krna to banta hai." Kabir suggested and mukti became super happy.

Mukti happily,"really."

And he nodded with a fake excitement and smile and taking spoon he dipped inside the dish and squeeze her cheeks together causing her to open her mouth and thrust the spoon inside, when mukti chew it and actually felt the taste she felt like puking and ran to washroom.

After some time Mukti come out while wiping her face and said,

" please kabir just order something from zomato."

"Did you felt the amazing taste." Asked kabir with a notorious smile.

" shut up." Mukti sneered.

And kabir ordered pizza and mukti went up to call manik for dinner and he came and sit beside kabir.

"sorry i think i shouldn't have talk to you like that mukti." Manik apologize genuinely.

"its ok brother in law." Mukti smiled.

"let's have dinner. I am dying to eat something." Manik said turning his plate and start serving himself.

"By the way manik you were right."

" i am ways right but what are you talking about?" Manik asked raising his eyebrows.

"actually the dish taste was actually like shit." Mukti said making a yuck face and manik make a disgusting face and check her out from top to bottom.

" one second did you taste it." Manik make more disgusting face.

" taste what??" Asked mukti

" shit." Manik said while laughing.

"means..........." Mukti asked being confused.

" you said it taste like shit i called it shit because it was looking like but you are talking about taste so that means......." Manik give her a teasing look and they start their cat fighting with so much of laughter.

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

Whole moorthy nivas was smelling very nice because as usual nandini was cooking food for dinner and alia was helping her. Shikha came inside the kitchen and send alia out giving some resoning.

" Nandini today your chachu (uncle) will ask you something?" Shikha said curtly to nandini.

Nandini got really confused and asked," about what chachiji?"

" about your marriage so please kindly say him yes so that you can have a healthy future." Shikha said callously.

"but chachiji........" Nandini tried to interrupt but she stopped herself because shikha look at her like she is a burden and she wipe her slight tears and went out with food and arrange everything on dining table.

" wow nandini your food taste is awesome. I am really loving it. Your hands got the taste from your mother, bhabhi was the best cook." Narayan moorthy just praised nandini.

" don't know why Papa i wanted to cook like di but everytime i got failed. My di is just perfect. I know papa when jiju (brother in law) will come to see her, we won't let him see her either we will make him eat her food." Alia said and laughed

Nandini listen this and got more sad.

"Nandini i wanted to asked something to you." Narayan started.

" ji chachaji." Nandini said meekly.

" actually i have got a marriage proposal for you. The boy is very good and a businessman." He completed and nandini was just looking down.

Then narayan look at alia who seem really unhappy with this conversation so he finally open his mouth to ask, what is the reason behind her this behaviour.

"What happened alia?? Are you unhappy??"

"Yes papa, I don't want my sister to go away with stranger. She is so innocent and good, I don't want her to go away from me ever." Alia said little bit emotionally making narayan sad also.

"beta its only the fate of girl's life and you should also accept this ritual of society because girls have to leave their family, nandini beta if you agree.

........" Shikha cut him off.

" what is the need of asking her,it is the correct age of marriage and besides the boy is so good."

"You shut up shikha, i am talking to my nandini so just let her speak. It's about her life not mine or yours so just let her take her decision herself." Narayan shut shikha up.

Shikha glanced nandini but she couldn't open her mouth because her teary eyes were saying everything clearly.

"i think papa now you got your answer so no discussions di is not getting married now." Alia said and she hugged nandini.

Narayan left his chair and went to nandini and hold his own ears,"sorry nandi, don't cry baby i promise u won't bring this matter again unless you wanted it yourself." Nandini just broke into tears and hug narayan.

Nandini smiles after sometime and they all have their dinner and went to their rooms and wait for the new day.
