Manan: Magic is in you (episode 8)

Hey here u go…

Nyonika and Nandini come out of her cabin….

Nyonika:Ms. Murthy can I ask you something?

Nandini:No (Nyonika looks at her in shock) I mean unless you stop being formal and calling me Ms.Murthy (Nyonika relaxes and laughs… Nandini also laughs) Call me Nandini when we will be in class and just Nandu when we are not… Simple…”

Nyonika: OK Nandu… Now can I ask? (Nandini nods) How you managed to control Richard and his gang… I mean they are really notorious but they are the ones because of whom we are informed of the indicipline among the students… I know them since my college days and they came in no one’s influence… They only came under our control when your Amms… I mean Principal Murthy took that charge…”

Nandini smiles and recalls…

FB SHOWS….

Mansi and Nyonika are talking…. Nandini sees Richard and his friend flying by…

She smiles seeing them and hears them talking…

Richard: See them… Principal Murthy’s grand daughters… Must be having attitude… I can tell that by just her looks…

His friend (Nick) :But the other one(Navya) is really sweet…

Richard :Ya ya… She is good…

Nandini comes in front of him and looks into his eyes…

Meanwhile Richard is speaking in his mind “Not just good… She is a real beauty… But I can’t tell this to you fools else I will be a topic of joke among you all and will loose my superiority among you… When she smiles,a soft breeze starts flowing,the flowers start blossoming,the moon seems bigger in the sky and it seems like my heart has started beating faster…its like I am in love with her at first sight…

Nandini starts laughing loudly…

Nick: You were right… She is not like her sister…

Richard :Richard is never wrong…

They start ignoring her and fly forward…

Nandini :I can read minds… And I know what you spoke just now…

Richard’s eyes widens but then he becomes normal :We are ghosts… We don’t have body that you can read our minds…

Nandini: But you guys I mean ghosts speak within yourself right… It’s just that I can hear it… BTW just now you said you are a ghost then how can your heart beat faster??

Nick :Why will boss say about heart beats and all… We are dead…

Richard is beyond shocked :She is right… She can read minds… She heard me…!!!

Nandini smirks and nudges her eyebrows : Are… Don’t you know… Richard li—

Richard :No… Stop… What do you want??

Nandini :You to work under me and help me out…

Richard :What help??

Nandini:You will get to know it at the right time… And one more thing if you do more questions and answers then (To Nick) Nick I was saying that Richard—

Richard :Boss… This Richard will always be in your service boss… Just a whistle and me and my whole gang will bow down in your feet…

Nandini stands there with attitude rotating her wand like a don…

Navya:yaar nandu…u started ur dadagiri here also…

FB ENDS…

Nandini: Actually VP Malhotra… It’s  a secret… And I think we should let it be one…

Nyonika smiles so does Nandini….

Nandini(in mind) :Now… I have to face bhai’s and Navu’s wrath for the mess I am going to get them into… But they are my siblings na… they can do this little thing for me…”

Nyonika:Silence doesn’t suits you…

Nandini: Actually I was thinking what you teach here??

Nyonika:Transfiguration…

Nandini: Strange… Bhai didn’t tell me anything related to that…

Nyonika:it’s ok… You cannot learn everything from home… College needs to teach you somethings… Even my children comes here since childhood but still they don’t know everything…

Nandini: You have children??so how many r there???

Nyonika: three…..One is in abhi’s batch… And two will join this year…

Nandu: With me???

Nyonika nods…

Nandini: Wow… What’s their names??(Nyonika looks at her) I mean so that I don’t end up quarrelling with them… You know… I get my self into fights way too soon…

She smiles sheepishly… Nyonika laughs…

Nyonika:ones name is Cab—

Mansi and Navya comes just then and interrupts her unintentionally :I am so sorry VP Malhotra… I know I took time… I hope she didn’t bothered you much…

Nandini:Mom!!!

Navya chuckles and Nandini glares at her..

Nyonika :No Professor Murthy… She didn’t bothered me at all… You scared me unnecessarily… She is really sweet and innocent… I enjoyed being with Nandu…”

Ragini smiles…

Mansi: Nandu??!!!!! That means she trapped you as well… VP Malhotra don’t come under her talks… I know very well what a mess she is… Don’t know how she behaved like humans today…

Nyonika: It’s ok Professor Murthy… Sometimes even Mukti and Cabir surprise me…

All four start laughing…

Mansi: Navni… Let’s go home…Ansh must be waiting for us…

Nyonika confused:Professor Murthy…mmm please don’t mind…but…who is Navni…

Mansi:it’s…

Navya interrupts: VP Malhotra its us means… Nav means me Navya…

Nandu: and Ni means me Nandini..

Mansi: this girls are crazy…

Nandu:ohh come on mom….VP Malhotra…even you can call us Navni if u want to call us together…

Nyonika nods and smiles…at their childishness

Mansi:girls now let’s go….see you VP Malhotra..

Navni nods and begins to go… But Nandu stops and runs back to Nyonika… She hugs her kisses her on the cheek and says :We will meet very soon again… Till then if you miss me then you can visit our house… Bye…

Nyonika smiles :She is so lovely…

Mansi and Navni goes from there….

Malhotra Mansion…

Abhi is waiting for Navni impatiently in their room…

Nandini comes there singing :Chadhti Jawani Meri Chaal Mastani Tune Kadar Na Jani Rama….

Abhi: Leave your Jawani and all and come on tell me…

Nandini:Tell you what??

Navya also enters…

Abhi: Listen… I know you since your and my childhood… We trio know that you can’t behave like a normal sophisticated human unless you have a motive… So now tell me… What happened after you went from here?

Nandu: Ok fine… But let us sit first…( They trio sit) ok… So… I have found out a way from which we can find about Mr. Mind Reader…

Navya: Oh God Ragu… You are still stuck with him…

Nandini: Come on Navu… It’s important… I mean I am Nandini… Nandini Murthy… Who reads everybody’s mind then howcome some random wizard came and read my mind and went away just like that… I want to know who that person is…

Navbhi: Ok… Fine… we are there if you need our help…

Nandini: If!! IF!!!!I definitely need your help… And promise me you won’t deny after hearing my plan…

Abhi: I can sense a mess for me… I am sorry… I am not in… Good night… And let me sleep…

Nandini:(in mind) oh no… It’s not going according to plan… Oh Yaa… Plan B… (To Abhi) Ok… Then better stay away from my everything… From now on you aren’t included in anything which is done or planned by me… OR if I am a part of it…

Nandini acts to get miffed and lies down to sleep… She then counts backward from 10 crossing her fingers… She knew that her plan B would be successful… But only the official announcement was needed… She said all those words for the sake of saying… The truth is that even she can’t live at peace without sharing anything with Abhi and Navya…

Abhi very well knows that without Nandini there is no fun… And no escape for him from the difficulties…. Nandini is his saviour… His  solution to every problem… she had helped him always facing all the problems as if he was playing with them and now when it’s his time to help her out, he cannot back off… That would be wrong…

Nandini (in mind) :5……….. 4………….. 3…………. 2………….. And—

Abhi: Oye drama queen…. Get up… I know you are acting… Share the plan… (Nandini gets up and looks at him smiling broadly…) I am helping you just because —-

Nandini :I have helped you many times and you know that you will need my help in future as well…. And I am your cute little sister na then how can you not help me… Hai na???

Abhi:Arrgghh!!! Your mind reading thing sometimes irritate me… I was not going to say the sister thing!!

Abhi: But you thought about it na… So I told you… Now listen the plan… But before listen to the informations I grabbed (Navbhi nods) Actually today morning when I went with Mom, we met VP Malhotra… Mom and Navu went to Amms and I was with her… In her cabin there are the forms which contains special abilities of all the students… We just have to check the forms and then we can find out who is the person…

Navya: Well… I appreciate that you found out so much in such a little time but how are we gonna do it…

Nandu: Simple… You will help me… Now listen to the plan (**MUTED**)

Navbhi’s eyes widens as they listens to Nandini… After Nandini is done narrating them the plan, Abhi bangs his head with his hand…

Abhi: Cant you make a single plan without pushing me in a mess… Nandu… This is not fair…!!

Nandini (smiling sheepishly) :bhai… Please na byai… I am your cute little sister na…

Navya:No… You are a Devil (Nandini shows her teeth smiling) Fine… When are we starting??

Nandini:After everyone are asleep…

Navbhi nods…

Malhotra Mansion…

Manik barges into cabir’s room and literally jumps on him…

Cabir: Manik I swear I didn’t had your share of cheesecake this morning…

Manik:What!!! You ate that… Cabir!!! Aren’t you ashamed of lying even after knowing that you can’t lie to me!! BTW I am not here for the cake… But I will take care of that matter once this is solved..

Cabir:What… You were not here for cake!! Shit!! I shouldn’t have told…

Mukti also enters and jumps on the bed..

Mukti: yes Maink why did u call me???

Cabir:Oho…Manik you called Lady bheem as well now tell us fast…and that cheesecake thing…Mukti was also involved with me…

Manik: Leave all that… I want to share something with you both… (Mukbir gives him a suspicious look) Don’t give that look… Actually last week—

Mukti: Hawwww… It’s been one week and you didn’t told us…?? How could you do that Mr. Manik Malhotra!!”

Manik: Be thankful that I am telling you… Earlier I had decided to keep it as a secret… But now… Recent developments suggests that I will be needing your help… So now you both are a part of the plan…

Cabir: That is what I was thinking how come THE Manik Malhotra came to tell some plan… Anyways I am in…

Mukti: even me…

Manik: Good for you… Actually last week—–

He tells about his meeting with Nandini and everything else…

Cabir: So now??? Wait a minute… Are you seriously going to marry her… Brother… Listen to me… It’s not your age for all this… You haven’t even started going to college also… Please… Wait for 3 more years… At least till graduation… And then—

Manik: What!!! No…!!! Cabir!!! At least listen to me fully…. I haven’t seen her face… And I was not planning to marry her… I haven’t even seen her till now… How can marriage be possible… I just want to know how she looks… What she is like… I just want to know…

Mukti: Hmmmm… I got it… But how will you find her out… I mean Hogsmede is such a vast place… She can be anywhere… How will we find her… And on top of that we don’t even know anything about her…

Manik: No… I focused on that day’s incident… And I realized that she is new here… She didn’t knew magic as she didn’t had a wand and was fighting like muggles but was still in the alley that means she is new here… And–

Mukti: She will be admitted in this batch of Hecate…  That means your batch..!! Great but still the question is same… We don’t know how she looks… How are we going to find her then??

Manik: That is also sorted… I just now heard Mom speaking to dad… She told him that all the forms of the new batch have been submitted and she kept them in her room today itself… So we just have to sneak into her cabin and scan the forms…

Cabir: You mean to say scan specially the special ability column…

Manik nods… And shares the further plan which is also muted…

Cabir: This calls for some adventure… And I love adventures… I am with you bro… But you know what… I am missing Alya… If she would have been here then we four would have done that together…

Manik: No… Then you wouldn’t have been included in the plan… Me Mukti and Alya would have done it (Cabir frowns) BTW when is she returning???

Mukti: Two days before your first day… BTW… When are we going??

Manik:Tonight… After everyone is asleep…

They do hi five….and the trio hugs…

That’s all …………………………
