Cabir was annoyed. Relax? How can he relax when his best friend is just messing his life up? He took a pause and again asked- " Buddy, what happened? You are sounding... Different. Is everything okay?". And finally Manik spoke - " I don't know dude. I really don't know. I always wanted to become a singer. A Rockstar. I released my 2 albums that too with Q label. Yesterday I completed my recording of new song. After few months I'll be shooting for the music video. Everything is going according to what i have planned. But still I don't know, something is missing. "
Cabir just smiled at this -" the problem is you don't know what exactly you want. ". Manik got offensive -" oh really? You think I don't know?". Cabir chuckled and spoke in a dramatic way - "my friend you need me. Cabira time. You want to visit me. But you are stuck with boring people. Come to New York. I'm sure you'll feel better. Away from media. Trust me". 
Manik gave a thought and he said yes. He was ready to go to New York. Maybe he just need a break. He told Cabir to look for his arrangement. Cabir was shocked. He didn't expect him, the Manik Malhotra to actually agreed to him in a minute? Actually it was just 10 seconds. But he said okay and they hang up the call. 
Here Manik was preparing to visit New York. And Cabir was in big dilemma. How can he arrange for his accommodation in just 3 days? He called few brokers and next day he got one home. So fast. He thought to go to that address to check everything. In the meantime Manik messaged him about the address. He without thinking sent the address which he about to visit. 
As soon he came to the address he really liked the area. The surrounding. He about to ring the doorbell then he saw a girl in the garden. He was shocked. "This is Nandini's house?". And silently he moved out from there without her knowledge. He doesn't want to complicate things in his life. He started looking for other houses. 
Here, in India Manik boarded his flight and looked at the address which Cabir sent. He called him to tell that he boarded the flight. Cabir told him to wait at the airport as he'll come to receive him due to last minute changes and they disconnected the call. He searched for that address in maps and he thought - "not bad". And he started listening to music. Before flight was about to take off he checked his phone. And saw one message notification. Soha's message. He sighed and opened her message - "what the hell Manik. From media I'm getting to know that you are going abroad. Where are you going? I know you have no events or projects."
He thought to ignore her message but again his phone got a notification. " don't you dare ignore my messages". He got irritated and replied - "I'm just going for a trip to relax myself before the shoot. I planned this last minute so couldn't tell you. My flight is about to take off. Talk to you later." and he switched off his mobile. 
Flight journey was good. After landing he called Cabir but his phone was not reachable. Since he already messaged him the address he took a taxi and went. He reached the address and saw that the house was locked. He again tried to call him but still his phone was not reachable. He thought to check under the doormat because that is what Cabir would do. And he got the keys and moved inside. He checked the room and sat on the sofa. He thought to send Cabir a voice note so he was recording that. But someone started banging the door. He thought - "people will never change. Be it India or New York" . 
He opened the door and saw a girl. Tiny girl. Barely reaching to his shoulders pushed him aside and moved inside the house. He thought to be her one of his crazy fan. He said- " Hey, listen can you please leave. I'm so tired. Just now my flight landed and I'm having a jet lag. So can we meet later?". She was looking at him in shock. Maybe she didn't expect him to tell her to leave, he thought. She asked him- " Excuse me? Who are you to tell me to leave this place? This is my place. My house! Where did you get my house keys? I'm sure you must've taken from under the doormat. How dare you to enter my house without my permission? ". 
He was shocked. No one till now ever raised their voice in front him. In front of Manik Malhotra. And this tiny girl who is hardly reaching to his shoulders is shouting at him? This is her house? Then why Cabir told him to stay here. What's happening here? Cabir did mention in the call to wait at airport due to some last minute changes. Is this the reason? Did he really enter in the wrong house? Maybe New York city is little confusing. Not like India. 
He cleared his throat and said -" Sorry actually I think I got the wrong address. Could you help me to with this address?". He showed her his mobile. 
She just glanced at the screen irritatingly but took his phone from his hands and zoomed the pic. She was shocked and confused. "This is my address". She said in a daze. He understood her state and said- "actually my friend gave me this address to stay as a paying guest. Didn't know that this is your house. I'm sorry." 
He about to turn to move but she held his hand. "Wait" she hurriedly said. He just looked at her tiny hand which was holding his hand. His trance broke when she continued saying - "I do searching for a paying guest. And looks like you're Indian too. If you want you can stay here". He was happy. Happy because he'll stay here. He really liked this house. The vibe. Everything. And he is too tired to move out and call his stupid friend to arrange him a place to stay. He thanked her and about to move to the room.
She called him from back - "That's my room. Your room is this side" and showed him his room. He liked the previous room more though but this room is also not bad he thought. She set his bed and cleared few books which were there on the side table.
After setting up the room she explained him about few rules and about to move when he called her from behind - "thanks. Sorry but you didn't mention your name". She turned and replied - "you didn't mentioned yours either". Witty, he thought. He took a pause and came one step closer and forwarded his hand - "I'm mmmm... Anant. Anant Kashyap". He just couldn't reveal his identity. He came to New York to stay away from limelight. He didn't want to reveal his identity and get back to the drama. So he randomly told one name. She looked at him weirdly. Did she find out that he lied? But shook his hand - "I'm Nandini Murthy".
He said - "oh so you are south Indian. Nandini. Nice. So I can call you Nandy". Nandini glared at him - " You can call me Miss. Murthy or just Nandini". He replied with smirk - "okay JUST Nandini. I'll keep that in mind". She looked at him irritatingly - "are you dumb or you are just acting smart?". He just chuckled - "hey I was just kidding relax. Nandini". She huffed went to her room. And he also glanced at his room before falling back on his bed. Looking at the sealing he said to himself - "Welcome to New York City, Manik Malhotra. This is going to a fun ride".
