Nandini's POV

"Who r u?"

My mind went blank... I was shocked would be an understatement... Mukti, Abhi n my faces have faded... Manik n Dhrulya entered to see us standing like statues n Navya sitting quietly...

All the thoughts were going in my mind... Did she forget us? Did she forget all our moments, our friendship, our time together, our identity?... Why is she saying like this? What happened to her? Is she alright or not?...

"Navya, u r up... How r u feeling?" the doctor after entering with Cabir asked her checking her vitals. In response, she just smiled.

"She is still weak. ... u can talk to here but make her take rest soon." the doctor said before leaving while we r still in shock.

'I've to talk to the doctor... Yes... I can't let anything happen to my Navya.' I thought after the doctor left n I turned to leave after him.

"Navya!... u don't remember us" Abhi asked recovering from shock n this gave the hint to everyone present. I too stopped in my track.

"Who r u?" she again asked n this time all the 5 clans especially Cabir was shocked.

"Navya... u don't remember anything... u don't know me." Cabir asked her terrified n I decided to be here n know what exactly is wrong with her before talking to the doctor.

"No... who r u?" Navya asked n he made many faces while trying to reply to her but nothing come out of his mouth.

While being dejected I looked down... but suddenly my eyes fall on Navya's fingers... Fingers of the right hand which she hides in her side cover... She had crossed her index n middle fingers.

She does like this when she tries to lie but control herself from showing it... Then why is she doing it now?

I looked up to analyze everything n suddenly something strikes my mind...

"Navya!... How can u forget him?... He is ur everything... the love of ur life... ur husband." I said dramatically all of a sudden n all got a second shock.

"What?" Navya n Cabir both shouted together looking at me & then looked at each other.

"What r u saying?" Manik asked irritatedly.

"Arey! I'm telling the truth. ... "I said to Manik n winked which caused him to widen his eyes.

"n Navya! u forgot how u r head over heels over my brother" I said turning to Navya who is sitting shocked.

"When?" she whispered may be wondering what I'm saying.

Cabir asked me through eyes n I blinked assuring him n telling him to support me.

"Arey What when? u married my bro six months ago n now u forget him? How could u?" I said.

"I never married this idiot... n I didn't even meet him six months ago... What nonsense u r saying Nandu?" she asked frustratedly n I just smirked raising my eyebrows... She bit her tongue.

"So, Maharani... got ur memory back." I declared n she smiled sheepily.

All go my trick n became happy knowing that she is all fine.

"Navu..." Mukti said n crashed on Navya which caused her hiss.

"Oh... sorry sorry" Muku said innocently n guilty after parting away from her immediately.

"It' ok baba" She replied.

"Why did u do such acting han? u know how much we r scared due to this stunts of urs." Abhi scolded her.

"Sorry... U r making such sad gloomy faces so I thought of some fun" She replied flashing her white teeth.

"But... how did u know I was acting?" She asked me.

"Ha... Who do u think I am? Nandini Murty... n no one an escape from the eyes of Nandini." I self praised raising my imaginary collar n all rolled their eyes.

"Hogaya! ... We should leave now n let her rest." Manik said n all agreed moving out not before asking navya if she wants anything n telling her to call us anytime as we r here only.

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

At evening in Mansion

Navya got discharge n needed rest n proper nutrition. She has burn marks on her right arm n some on the upper body which will heal in 2 weeks with proper medication. So, now they came back home n sat in the hall.

"Navya. ... u take rest n call me whenever needed. ... I'll be there anytime." Abhi said getting up from the couch.

"Oh... Where?" Nandu asked him.

"Finding a hotel for stay." he replied.

"U r staying with us." Nanz declared n Manik glared her.

"What? ... if we would have been in our house then he would have stayed with us as long as he wants... So, he'll stay here only." Nanz replied to Manik's glare n he rolled his eyes before going to his room.

"Manik didn't speak back... That's new" Alya thought loudly.

"Right... Many new things happened after their arrival" Dhruv added while others just listened.

"Well... Do u find out who caused the blast?" Nanz asked Dhruv.

"Not exactly... but as far as we guess... it is someone inside." he answered.

"Means ur gang member" Mukti asked. They got hesitant to answer as they didn't know what these girls knew about then n they definitely don't know that they r India's No.1 Mafias.

"I've seen a man disappearing before I faint." Navya said.

"Who?" Cabir asked.

"I don't know... But he just disappeared all of sudden towards the backside of the parking lot. I turned n was going to check when the blast happened n I went out." She added.

All the mafias understood that one of their men was present just before the blast n he walked to the basement from the back door. He could have betrayed them or could have known something about this incident so they should check on him.

"Did u see his face?" Alya questioned.

"Aamm... not exactly... he was well built, wearing a black t-shirt n pant... about Cabir's height, ... n face is... I just saw a bit of his side..." She replied after a thought.

"Okay... u sleep for a while... we'll take care of rest" Saying this Cabir left with Dhruv n Alya.

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

Study room

"Why do u call me urgently?" Sid asked sitting on his chair with the other 4 of Mafias.

"I think one of our men is involved in this blast." Cabir started.

"N navya has seen him entering the basement before the blast." Alya added.

"She didn't know exactly but I think she can recognize him... we should make her do it." Dhruv joined.

"But... How? If we get our all men out then it could be dangerous." Sid stated. They can't let anyone discover that Manik is the Mafia King.

"We have to take them to our basement for this." Manik finally spoke n all shocked.

"What r u saying Manik? ... If they got to the basement they will come to know that we r Mafias." Alya said.

"They knew that. ... They just don't know how we r but they have guessed we r some don or gangsters... And moreover, we'll take them only to the entrance hall of the basement which more or less looks like some under-construction hall... Our problem will be solved n anyway they r under our surveillance." Manik explained his point n all nodded in agreement.

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

Next morning

Mukti's POV

"Navya... here is ur custard... n mix fruit juice..." I said forwarding her. All r having breakfast.

Yesterday night they took me to backside n we entered some secret place... shabby, under construction place with rods, slabs, etc. etc. r present but so many men in black were present there as an army. They r really Mafias... in fact a big one.

They asked Navya to pick the one whom she saw before blast n she shortlisted 12 out of them as she has not seen any face clearly... They told us that they will take care of the rest n also warned us not to roam around here nor tell anyone about this.

"Navya... no going to the clinic for two weeks n I'll also accompany u as Mukti has to go to the office." Nandu said n Navya agreed making faces as she wanted to visit her clinic.

"Don't sulk Navya... I'll accompany u too." Abhi said with a smile.

"Why? Don't u have work to do?" Cabir asked... Well he didn't confess Navya yet n is indirectly trying to know her feelings... n Navya is too adamant to ignore him grandly.

Now he is jealous...

"He came here on leave for holiday... u have any problem?" Navya asked Cabir n he nodded negatively.

Suddenly a loud ringtone rang making Nanz frown n Abhi, Navya n me laugh...

https://youtu.be/1MD0RFuec3U

"Lo... Aa gayi teri Shaadi ka dalaal ka phone (Here comes ur marriage broker's phone)" Abhi sai while laughing n I snatched Nanz phone n put it in loudspeaker.

All the others r sitting confused with the ringtone n our action n the person on the other side of the phone shouted...

"Nandu beta... Kesi hai (how r u?)" a lady voiced... Nandu was trying to take her phone back but I gestured her to speak.

"Namaste Tai... main theek.. Aap aur bache kaise hain(I'm fine... How r u n kids?)" Nandu greeted.

"Sab badhia... aur maine suna tune apne shaadi ke liye ladka dhoond liya hain! (Everything good... And I heard that u have found ur would be husband!) "

That was it...

All our faces r full of surprise... Nandu was reactionless... n Manik was constantly looking at her... We too don't know how to react with newly found information.

Tia is the caretaker n owner of Ashirbad Orphanage where we sometimes visit n have good relations with her n the kids of there. The kids r very talented... There r groups of dancers, singers, artists n many more... Even when we rescue orphan kids then we bring them here but with other sources not directly... Even Arya finance it.

Tia is a bit traditional n thinks that girls above 20 should get married n so she is after Nandu n Navya's marriage. I escaped saying I'm small n would marry after them but she is behind Nandu to get married first...

But, What is she saying that Nandu has selected her husband? When? How come I didn't know??

Had fun? Liked it?
