Chapter No # 10

"What Comes Ahead"

In Los Angeles, US
In S.P.A.C.E Academy
In Girl's Hostel
It was very Late and by now everyone in Hostel has slept.

********

A Girl is lying on a Soft & Comfy Bed in Her Full Clothes. Her Eyes are wide open looking at Ceiling lost in Deep thought. Just then a Door gets knocked and without hearing Her reply A person comes inside who holds Dark & Dangerous Aura in Him which scares everyone even Her also. Being a Perfect example of a Monster Figure still He possesses a Heart which holds so much Love ONLY for Her as She is His SOUL, LIFE , HEART & EVERYTHING.

Suddenly She hears a Faint voice.

"So You have come? You don't have any idea how long I have been waiting for You. You don't have any bit of idea how much I'm going to Love You and that for Eternity and even after that. I won't let Air or dare to let it come between us. You are MINE and I'm YOURS. If You want to run from Me so Run but keep this in Your Mind I will let You Run away from Me and will keep You in My Arms when You feel tired of running away. I will let You to fulfill Your Wish but then keep this in Your Mind I'm Your DESTINY so does You are My. Run as much SWEETHEART as much You want to from Me but when I have enough of You going away from Me so I will hold You within No Seconds."

(She was only able to hear His voice and not able to see the Owner of Voice. His Voice holds so much Power and Love at the same Time. His Words evoke different feelings in Her. Then She felt a Kiss on Her Forhead which indicates Possessiveness and Love.
Then suddenly there was Silence indicating whoever the Person was has now left.)

Dream Ends

*******

Although it was a faint Dark voice & Small Kiss on Her forhead in Her DREAM. But it was enough to scare Her and make Her to sit on Bed. Though She wished to have Love in Her Life as Her Parents but unaware of all the happenings of the Couple still She is still scared to Embrace it & the Feelings. She wished to have simple Love in Her Life but what would happen when Her Lover won't be simple but a Complicated Person and too much in Love with Her that He would feel extreme Possessiveness towards Her?

SCENE FREEZES

Nandini Murthy who has just turned 18 Years or Age before coming to the US. She has topped in Her O & A Levels. And even now She got admission in Foreign University "The S.P.A.C.E Academy" on 100% Scholarship which opened the Gates to fulfill Her Dream in studying in Her Dream College fully unaware S.P.A.C.E Academy has stored so many mysteries in itself.

She is only Youngest Girl Child in Murthy and due to this everyone Pampers Her alot. Murthys had never shown Her outside World and protected & Sheilded Her like Glass Doll meaning They had only shown the Good side of World never the Bad side hence She doesn't know how to tackle or handle in the worst Situation or in the Bad World as She was never given the Opportunity. If Today Nandini is Emotionally weak then credit goes to Murthys.

She has Priya & Nikhil as Her Parents while Rishab, Karan & Naina as Her Sibling while She is the Youngest One.
She had Bhabhi, Geet who married Her Eldest Brother Rishab and Her Second Brother is soon going to get Engaged.

Seeing Her Parent's Love for each other and She started to see Her Bhai & Bhabhi's Love after Arranged Marriage it inspired Her so unknowingly She had sent a Wish to also have someone who would Love Her but yet again She is unaware of Boyfriend Girlfriend/ Husband Wife Relationship. Though She Wishes to have Love in Her Life but still fears to Embrace it and what will be the Consequences.

She is a Traditional Girl and most of the Time She wears Traditional and also wears Western dress like Tops, Shirts & Pents when She is alone.

She is a Synonym of Innocence, Purety, Naivety and Kind who has Heart which feels Hurt when someone is in Pain.
Have a Secret which is Unknown to Her family.

******

A faint shout broke Navya's sleep. Seeing disturbed Nandini sitting on Bed brought a Frown on Her forehead. Soon She was beside Nandini on Her bed asking what happened and what did She see in Her Dream which scared Her this much.

Nandini: Pta nahi Navya. I umm pta nahi mujhe.

[Nandini: Don't know Navya. I ummm don't have any idea.]

(Since both Nandini & Navya belong to India and came here for their Studies. So finding someone Familiar with Her Language they both conversed in their Respective Language. Secondly, being Elder to Nandini, Navya asked Nandini to simply call Her as Navya not Navya Di as it sounds She is old as well as She is in Her 50s.

Seeing scared Nandini, Navya didn't attempt to hear what actually happened. By now She has understood Nandini that She is extremely Shy in Nature and does not feel Comfortable to share Her feelings. So Navya didn't try to know but gave Her silent support to which Nandini was thankful enough.

Making Her Sleep by Singing Lullaby, Navya also closes Her Eyes to welcome Sleep.)

Next Day
In S.P.A.C.E Academy
In Science Department
In Lecture Hall # 201
Another Lecture is going on in Pre-Medical Class. Half of the Majority of Students are feeling extremely bored. Seeing the Lecturer writing Derivation on the White Board and also explaining about it. In the 70s of the Student, Nandini was another Student whose focus was on the Board as well as noting down the Derivation on Her Register.

After the Lecturer was done writing & explaining Derivation, He announced.

Lecturer: So class it has been more than 2 Weeks since You have been studying Applied Physics so let's take a Test today or more like a Surprise Test.

(After that many Students started complaining but the Lecturer didn't pay heed to anyone and started distributing the Sheets to everyone. Once He distributed checking His watch He said.)

Lecturer: All of You have exactly 50 Minutes to write it.
Student 1: Sir can We have an Open book test?
Lecturer: No Open book test. Your time starts now.

(After this Students started to do Test. All sorts of cheating is going on. And in the 70s of Students there were few Students who are writing fairly and one of them is Nandini Murthy.)

In Music Department
On Third Floor
In East Wing
In 5th Jam Room
The East Wing of the third floor has several small Jam Rooms exclusively reserved for Solo Performers. Likewise Navya is also a Solo Singing Performer. If Fab5 wins the Music Competition in the Group of Bands so Navya has also won many of the Music Competition held among Solos.

In number 5th Jam Room counting from East Wing. There Navya Naveli is sitting on the Carpeted Floor holding Veena on Her Lap supporting it from Her left elbow and rhythmically with Right hand fingers along with Left hand fingers, She is playing Chords of Veena.

Navya: Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Diii...

(Singing the Alphabets of Indian Classical Music.
Whenever She has to sing a Song in Foreign Language so there is always Fab5 and Her Boyfriend Harshad to help Her. No matter how much different She is from Fab5 and Harshad, still She is Loved by Six of them and they by Her.

As She was Singing a Song that suddenly someone slowly stepped in Her Jam Room or Music Room without making any Voice and then suddenly that Person placed His hand on Her Eyes preventing Her to see but touching His hands Her Lips stretched widely forming a huge Smile on Her Lips and spoke Lovingly.

Navya: Harshaddd...!!!

(Hearing His Name He smiled widely again without telling Her She guessed it was Him. He wondered what Superpower does She have that She always guessed Him. Little He knew it's Power of Love.

By now Harshad is used to this so now no more He is surprised that She once again guessed correctly.
Coming in front of Her at first He smiles Her widely.)

SCENE FREEZES

Harshad Rathore, a close Friend & Common friend of Fab5. Mr. Sumit Rathore is a Father of Harshad Rathore and DSP. Once Sumit has saved Fab5 members to which Fab5 got rid of the Violence inflicted upon them under RED LIGHTS, due to which Fab5 are really thankful to Him. Being thankful to Sumit and also little Harshad helped them alot to recover from their Past in His own Childish style since He was a Teen at that Time. Like that Fab5 became Harshad's friend and later Navya's entry in His life also made Fab5 close to Her.

No matter how much Harshad & Navya are close to Fab5 and are respected by them still Fab5 isn't able to trust them especially Manik.

Like Fab5, Harshad is also a Musician and sings in Group or Band "Band of Brothers". At first after discovering their Passion & Love for Music, Harshad advised Manik, Cabir & Dhruv to make their Own Band and their Name will be "Band of Brothers" but 3 of them politely refused and understanding their P.O.V Harshad didn't say anything. And Harshad made His Own Band "Band of Brothers" Abhimanyu Singh & Zubin Khurana are Members of Band of Brother. Harshad, Abhi & Zubin all 3 are very close to each other and is like a Brothers to each other but They are not as close as Fab5 to each other.

Harshad is 22 Years old and has been in a Relationship with Navya since a Year.

*******

Smiling at Her widely in the next Moment both of them hugged each other and Navya sobbed a little after embracing Him near to Her Heart. Seeing each other after a Month it made Navya sob while Harshad is feeling Peace in being His Love's arms.

Breaking the Hug, Harshad started Kissing Her full Face and eventually dug His Face in Her Neck giving Her Lovebites earning Her Moans. No matter how many Times they have made Love but still it feels as if it's for the first time.

Eventually both of their Clothes are thrown somewhere in the Room and both start making Love.

All the Music Rooms and/or Jam Rooms are Sound-proof not wanting to disturb other Persons or let anyone know about their Song. One of them is Fab5. Fab5 never Trusts anyone except themselves. Even Neyonika Malhotra, an adopted Mother of Manik, for whom Manik is Her everything & Her only Happiness, Navya & Harshad Fab5's common friends, Fab5 they didn't even Trust on them. They don't even trust on Cabir's Girlfriend so other Peoples itself are out of the Question.

After Sometime
On Highway
After Packing their Camping Bags,

Aliya's Camping Bags:

Manik's Camping Bags:

Mukti Camping Bags:

Cabir's Camping Bags:

Dhruv's Camping Bags:

Fab5 has everything Branded. It won't be wrong if someone says them Walking & Talking Brand. Likewise even their Camping Bag is from Brand under "Take A Walk To The Wild Side". Same as Title even its in their nature but for others meaning showing their Wild side to others.

Sleeping bags, folding Tents and many other necessary things were loaded in the jeep along with Manik's and Dhruv's Guitar Bags.

Manik's Guitar Bag:

Dhruv's Guitar Bag:

[Imagine Stars hanging from both of their Guitar Bags.]

Karlmann King: SUV Jeep Car

Front:

Back:

Trunk:

Interior:

Open Roof Top:

[And now Imagine Karlmann King SUV has an Open Roof which isn't possible in real life so just Imagine.]

Opening the Car Roof making it completely look like Jeep, Mukti, Aliya & Dhruv sat back while Cabir on the Driving Seat and Manik sat beside him. Opening the GPS in His latest Model iPhone 13 Pro Max, Manik entered their Destination and soon Google started to show them Routes. Through their endless travel in the Rainforest for about 2 weeks they arrived at another point.

Finally through Fab4 endless Conversation plus Aliya's Closeless & Love towards Him He is feeling light. Aliya is not His GF but His Best Friend. He has always taken Aliya as His Best Friend even in Girl-Friend & Boy-Friend Relationship. Girl-Friend & Boy-Friend Relationship between Him & Aliya was forced on Him by Fab4. He tried to refuse knowing Aliya, His Best Friend deserves someone Better not Him who has only Negativity in Him. He refused Fab4 but only to be sweared by them & swearing on their Friendship hence Manik has to give in. Fab4 thought Aliya's Love would make Manik stop His Dirty Activities but such thing never happened. For Aliya, He tried to become a Better Person leaving His Dirty Activities but all in Vain.

Now following the Routes as GPS is showing Cabir is driving the Jeep on Highway. From Highway, Cabir entered into a City as Shortcut told by Google Map. As Cabir was driving the Jeep and as well talking with Fab5 Members that suddenly Aliya sees a small Building at the Left side of Road where "DESTINY" was written in the Bold letter and at the top of the building. Reading "DESTINY" suddenly Aliya feels Curiosity to know about Her Future, though She is extremely happy as She has Her Manik with Her, Her Band is famous, They Fab5 are really close to each other and Boys dies to spend a minimal amount with Her but due to Manik's Possessive Nature & Fab5's devilish mind and being biggest bully they maintained distance with Her. Her Life is Perfect for now and She wants to know what Future has stored for Her, will it be the same or will Manik too start falling for Her deeply. For Answers to these Questions She wants to know about Her Future. And then suddenly She screamed as that Building was being passed.

Aliya: Stop Stop...

(Hearing Aliya's sudden and loud voice, it shocked everyone that what suddenly happened to Her and Cabir instantly applied breaks. All started asking Her questions and Aliya giving them Her Sheepish Smile and answered.)

Aliya: I'm alright.
Manik: So why did you scream so loudly?
Aliya: Actually Manik, I wanted to visit that Building.

(Saying this Aliya pointed at that building and soon everyone turned their Gaze and confusedly.)

Mukti: Aloo are You alright? Why do You want to visit that Place?
Cabir (Teasingly): Lady Bheem is it even a Question to ask? Off-course She isn't alright after all She is Hulk's Girlfriend who knows nothing except being a Monster.

(Listening to His Tease Manik gives Him a Fake Angry Smile to which as usual Cabir stick His Tongue out at Him making others Chuckles.)

Aliya: Manik please please please let's go inside I want to know what My Future has stored in.
Manik: Oh come on Aliya it's all crap and Bullshit. It has nothing but a Lie. People using this Fake Business earn so much. Whatever They say holds nothing except lies.
Aliya: Whatever Manik. Still let's Go. Please please. For Me, please.

(After so much pleading Manik finally gave in and told Cabir to turn the Jeep towards it. Nodding at Him, Cabir turned the Jeep and parked it on available Space. Soon all walked inside but Manik who doesn't have any bit of Joy to know about His Future and He walked inside because of His Friends.)

In DESTINY Building
Infrastructure of Building has nothing extraordinary, in fact the place was decent & Elegant. Furniture & Wooden Flooring was also Perfect giving a Perfect and Classy look.

Fab5 walks inside to see a bit Aged Lady is sitting on a Huge Round Table whispering something and then opens a Card which was given by the People who have come here to know about their Future. Seeing the Card, She told them what Her Card has said to Her and the News was pretty Good. The Lady who is telling is none other than Card-teller who is blessed by Almighty to tell the Peoples about their Future through Cards. And through Years of Experience it made Her Expert.

Soon the Peoples left after receiving pretty Good News but Fab5 least cared about someone's feelings. They only Care about each other and close one's feelings. After people left, Fab5 took their Seats and saw Fortune Teller whispering something while looking at Her Cards intently. And then.

Fortune Teller: I know in 5 of You there is someone who thinks it's Waste of Time as there is nothing but a Lie.

(Hearing Her Fab5 except Manik's Eyes got widened as Manik said this to Aliya while Manik rolled His Eyes. And speaks in a not so interesting voice.)

Manik: Whatever You say I still don't believe in this. It's a Good way of fooling people and earning Money. You should do something interesting which comes in handy not like this Fooling around.

(Hearing Him, suddenly Fortune Teller chuckles. Now opening Her Eyes.)

Fortune Teller: I can see how much You disliked it or rather Hate it but because of Your Friends You came here as You don't want to upset them.

(Once Again Fab5 and now including Manik's eyes also gets widened as the same thing happened. But then in a displeasing tone, He answered.)

Manik: Whatever.

(Still chuckling at Him She shifted Her Gaze towards Aliya.)

Fortune Teller: By seeing Your Curious Eyes I can see You came here to know what Destiny has written for You and due to Him (indicating Manik) You came here.
Aliya (Smiling Slightly): Yes. Now please tell Me.

(Smiling at Her Fortune Teller told Her about all the Rules and what to do. Following Her, Aliya takes out 1 Single Card from the Bundle and hands it over to the Her. Then She shuffles all the Cards and once again asks Aliya to pick up 1 Card. Like this She picked up 2 Cards and handed it over to the Her. Before She started to speak a Word Aliya interrupted Her or rather Questioned Her.)

Aliya: Please tell Me about My Love Life.
Fortune Teller (Smilingly): Sure. By looking at Your Forehead lines and the Cards it tells Me How You Wish and What You Wish it will happen. Meaning Your Lover will Love You to the Extreme point. He will pamper You like a Princess and most importantly Your PAST won't matter to Him and won't hold any importance between You both.

(As Fortune Teller was saying this Her Gaze shifted to Manik while hearing the Desirable News it brought a Huge Smile on Her Lips that finally Her Manik Will be Hers completely. Happily She thanked the Her. And now Manik was about to stand up that Cabir also asked Her to tell about His Future too. As they heard about Aliya's pretty Good Future they except Manik also got Curious to know about their Future as well. Sighing, Manik again seated.

After Cabir, Mukti and Dhruv also asked about their Future.
After Fortune Teller Lady was done telling the remaining 3 about their Futures Manik stands up after saying.)

Manik: Finally it's done. And now let's get going.

(Hearing that Fab4 was about to stand up and Manik was about to turn that He heard.)

Fortune Teller: Won't You ask about Your Future?

(Listening to this, Manik chuckles darkly and then replies in an Attitude and not so interested voice.)

Manik: I'm not Idiot neither I'm Curious to know about My Future when I'm pretty sure what lies in My Future. And I write My Own Destiny.

(Saying this Manik was about to turn that He heard Her Chuckling's voice and seeing the Fortune Teller chuckling at Him which made Him Furious.)

Manik: What is so funny about it? Did I say some Joke to You?
Fortune Teller (Nodding in No): No Dear it wasn't a Joke nor it wasn't funny but so much Confidence isn't Good.
Manik: My Life and if I'm being Over-confident so its My problem not Yours so let Me handle it. I will see to it if isn't Good.
Manik (to Fab4): Come Guyz. I'm not able to breathe here anymore. Come let's go.

(Saying this He was about to turn that suddenly once again He was interrupted by her.)

Fortune Teller: Are You that much Scared from knowing about Your Future?
Manik (Angrily): You wish Oldie. Manik Malhotra isn't scared of anything.
Fortune Teller: If that is the Case then You should not have any problem.

(Fab4 also tells Manik to know about what Destiny has stored for Him. Hearing them, Manik sighs and gives in as He can say NO to anyone but not His Fab5. Seeing Him give in Fab4 and Fortune Teller smiles at their Pure Friendship. Just by looking at this small Scene She realized & knew nothing will happen to their Friendship and He, Manik Malhotra would do anything to protect & save their Friendship. But a Question raises will Their aka Fab5 Bond remain same after an Entry of New Person?

Fab4 forcefully made Manik sit on the chair. And Manik with disinterest and with a full attitude asks the Fortune Teller what to do.)

Manik: Tell Me what I have to do. And get over it as soon as possible. The sooner the better.

(Ignoring Manik's rude comment, She tells Him what to do. After telling Him She shuffles all the Cards asking Manik to pick up 2 cards. Once again shuffling all the cards again Manik picked up 2 cards and gave it to Her with not so much interest. Whispering something and then She reads lines on Manik's forhead. Then read the cards. Reading it She asks Him to pick more any 2 cards from the bundle.

A little change over here confused Fab4 so instead of Manik, Aliya questioned Her on behalf of Manik.)

Aliya: You asked all of us to pick up any 2 Cards and told Our Future with Ease bit with Manik its different why so? Why do you ask Him to pick up 4 Cards, not just 2?
Manik (to Aliya): Didn't I tell You it's all fake and a game of Guess. Anyways leave it I don't care neither it matters to me is it 2 Cards, 4 Cards or more. I just want this to be over.

(Listening to Him and seeing the Cards and what His forhead's lines are telling Her, She chuckles. Then turning Her Gaze at Aliya She says.)

Fortune Teller: Dear it was important. Reason for asking Him to pick 4 cards as these Cards tell Me Complications in His Life are on its way...
Cabir (Interrupting): What do You mean? What Complications?
Dhruv: Yes, is there any Storm coming?
Aliya: Is there any Danger to His Life?
Mukti (Losing Her Control): You Oldie why aren't You saying anything. Have You suddenly taken a fast of not speaking?

(Hearing Fab4 questions Manik chuckles. Even Though They are Synonyms of danger still They are worried just by listening to this.)

Manik: Come on Guyz...
Fortune Teller (Interrupting): No there is not any Danger to His Life. But a huge storm is coming towards Him which would change Him 360º. He will not only be affected but everyone of You will be affected. Questions on Your Friendship & Your Bonding will be raised. If all of You especially You Kiddo Manik Malhotra won't embrace this Storm then the reason will be You causing Your Self-Destruction. And if Fab5 at that time did give Priority to Themselves & Their Egos then nothing could save from breaking Your Friendship. At that time Your Bestfriend would need All of your Greatest support even though He wouldn't say and if all of You didn't support Your Friend then I'm sorry nothing could prevent from breaking this Friendship. (Pause) Storm is definitely coming. It is written in Your Stars and there is Nothing to prevent it. If You Embrace that Storm and Your Fab5 Bond remain same so Your Life will be filled with Happiness. There will be only Happiness in Your Life, Kiddo. But if You give Importance to Yourself, Kiddo then I'm sorry even I don't know what will happen.

(Hearing it Fab4 Eyes widen with shock but Manik feels immense Anger towards and says in His extreme Rude voice.)

Manik: There is nothing going to happen as such. And if its written in My Destiny then I will Myself Torture and kill that Storm. But nothing could change Our Friendship. Fab5 is forever, so is Our feeling towards each other.
Fortune Teller: Glad to hear that. But Manik Malhotra saying this is easy then accomplishing it, is difficult. You may say You can torture or kill that Storm but You won't be able to as You would FALLEN IN LOVE with that Storm. Your Beating Heart would not let You. And You would not find Older Manik or Today's Manik in yourself anymore.

(Hearing it though it added more Shock to Fab4 but Manik started Laughing humorlessly shocking Fab4 more.)

Manik: You know You joke a lot. (Pause and now Seriously) And secondly as You have said nothing like that would happen and I will make sure of it. Last but not the least there is no one who dares to rule Me, The Manik Malhotra. Keep this in Your Mind.
Manik (to Fab4): Let's go Guyz.

(Saying this, finally Fab5 left from there. While seeing their disappearing figure, Fortune Teller chuckles.)

Fortune Teller: No matter how much Powerful You are You can not prevent Storm aka LOVE coming in Your Life. She may not accept You initially but You won't let Her go. That much Deep You are going to fall in Love with Her. Just One Glance at Her, You would lose it. She is the only ONE who is meant for You and who has that much Power to change the Monster in You and make that Monster fall in Love. Her Love or Your Love for Her would force You to change Yourself completely and there is no Way to stop this. All The Best Kiddo.

(Chuckling at Her words, suddenly She disappeared.)

On Highway
In Jeep
And now instead of Cabir, Manik is driving the Jeep. Though He is driving, His Mind was lost in Fortune Teller's words. Cabir, Dhruv & Mukti look at Manik wanting to know what He is feeling right now. Whatever may come their Friendship would never be on the verge of breaking. They can see Manik's Neutral face but Frown lines appeared on His forhead meaning He is thinking something deeply.

Whereas Aliya's Mind was stuck on Fortune Teller's words and suddenly Seeds of Insecurity & losing Him started to develop in Her Mind. Then out of nowhere Dhruv being Dhruv asked.

Dhruv: What if something happened like that? What if Buddy Fallen in Love and this Love started to Weakened Our Friendship then what will happen?

(Hearing Dhruv, Manik quickly applied Emergency brakes causing 3 of them jerkingly to come forward. Turning towards Dhruv.)

Manik: Buddy that Oldie is mad. She is Insane. (Pause) I told You Guyz it's a Bad idea as these kinds of People only know to Lie and add Mirch Masala. Nothing is going to happen as She said. Fab5 is forever. No one can break Us and Our Friendship.
Cabir: But Manik did You notice She knows about us. We never told Her We are Fab5. She is saying all this meaning She is blessed with this Power.
Mukti: I agree with Dhruv & Cabir. Maybe there is something true in it. I have known such People are really blessed. And what She will gain by saying all those things. Nor We have any Enmity with Her neither We know each other so why will She lie.

(Listening to Fab3 Manik sighs and says.)

Manik: Either it is Lie or not. We wouldn't let anything happen to Our Friendship. And about Falling in Love well it's not possible in Million Years. If in My Destiny I would have Fallen in Love then I would have been with Aliya long ago. No matter how much it might be Bitter but I Manik Malhotra does not have any Heart to feel anything so Falling in Love is out of the Question. Okay now Cheer up Guyz.

(Hearing it They Smiles except Aliya who smiles fakely. She is feeling both Good and Upset, Good because when Manik will not fall in Love till then no one can snatch Him from Her. And about Upset because Manik still hasn't fallen in Love with Her despite making Him as Hers. Her Every FIRST TIMES even though when they had DONE it none of Them were Virgin. Despite not being Virgin Her Every First Time was started with Him and sadly She was not the First & Last Person in His Life for doing it.

Like this Fab5 silently lost in their Own thoughts move towards their destination Unaware SURPRISE is waiting for them or more for Manik.)
