Chapter No # 19

"Plethora Of Emotions"

MEANWHILE
In Los Angeles, US
On X.Y.Z Road
Both Cabir & Manik are sitting in Manik's "Bugatti Divo" Car. Cabir is driving the Car from their Mansion to S.P.A.C.E Academy while Manik is sitting beside Him on the Passenger Seat. Driving through a Lane suddenly Manik asked Him.

Manik: Stop the Car Cabir.
Cabir: Whyyy Manik?

(Before He can say anything further to Manik He sees Manik sniffing using His Supernatural skills. Then.)

Cabir: What is it Manik?
Manik: Don't know. It feels like suddenly the Usual Air has changed. The Air's Smell is different and changed.
Cabir: Could it be due to that?
Manik: Might be but there isn't any proof so Nahhh.
Cabir: Manik are We seriously going to stop Our Activities as per Barita ordered for Our Own Safety?

(Hearing this Manik looked at Him then spoke.)

Manik: Barita had asked us not to do Our usual Hunting but She didn't say anything about Our Activities so We are going to do what We were doing in Past except Hunting. And what will happen. Nothing. I'm there to see and back up. And as You know, in Coming Weeks My Powers will double, so just chillax. And what will happen if We got caught that Person Mortal or Immortal wouldn't dare to destroy & Kill us as no Power & no any kind of Poison will kill us even though it would harm us but a little all thanks to Our Blood Ceremony which even Barita the Powerful & Strongest Witch & Superiors didn't know. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...

(Saying this Manik let out Evilish & Devilish Smirk before Laughing Evilly. Whereas on the other hand it was no shock for Cabir to see His Friend oops Best Friend like this.

Blood Ceremony held between members of Fab5 aka, Manik as King of all Immortals plus Tribrid (Having Genes of Vampire, Werewolves & Witch, can transform into Bat Wolf & can perform Magic like Strong Witch), Cabir as Alpha (Strongest Wetewolf) of most Strongest Pack The Moonlight Sovereign Pack, Aliya as Adishaat (Shapeshifting, mixture of Snake & Eagle, belonging to Vampire Kingdom due to some Similarities), Mukti being Descendant of Late Bugatti (most Powerful Witch of World even more than Barita) Mukti as Witch and last but not the least Dhruv as Giant Powerful Dragon (Shapeshifting Dragon which has healing Powers, putting any Supernatural Creature & Human to Sleep, can turn into any Creature to Black Stone till He wants.

Accidently or call it Destiny these 5 had performed BLOOD CEREMONY in which Their Blood got mixed and all the Powers which everyone shared now other too can use these Powerful. It made them Stronger, Unkillable & Unharmable but it's Great Impact fall on Manik who was already Stronger but after this He became more Strongest.
Since this Ceremony had been done accidentally so no Immortal or Supernatural Creatures know these kinds of Ceremonies do happen plus all Creatures are Unaware of Fab5 this Strong Power.

Listening to Manik well it wasn't a shock to Him and with Manik He too laughed Evilly. Then putting His Laugh on hold, He says.)

Cabir: God Manik it was so damn funny Pretending in front of Superiors and that Bl**dy Jane She thinks She is more Powerful than Us and We pretended to get Hurt after Casting a Spell which even Barita couldn't see when She exclaims to be Strongest Witch of World. No Witch even no Superiors are nothing infront of Us. Ha ha ha ha ha ha...

(Saying this He continued to Laugh while now Manik spoke in return.)

Manik: Cabir Barita is right She is the most Powerful & Strongest Witch but only after BUGATTI who is Ancestral Grandma of Mukti. And the Spells We use on Our some Special Enemies are only made by Bugatti so only Bugatti knows which Magic of Her has been performed.
Cabir: Absolutely. And all thanks to Mukti who at the right Time came to know about Ancestral Grandma Bugatti's Book or else We wouldn't have Activated Our Powers after the Blood Ceremony.
Manik: Yuppp.
Cabir: Between Manik why aren't You using Your Power to Sniff the Air as You already smelt the Smell is different.
Manik: I could but if only We are alone not like this on Road when someone can walk, park & Drive there so automatically My Powers won't be working and somebody might get to know about this which I least want People to know even those People who We know. You are getting it right?
Cabir: Off-course Buddy.
Manik: And once I'm alone I will My Power and will come to know who is the Owner of this Change. Now starts the Car take it directly to S.P.A.C.E...
Cabir: But Manik...
Manik (Interrupting): Leave that on Me. Okay now Drive.
Cabir (Dramatically): Fine. After reaching S.P.A.C.E the first thing We are going to do is to reach Cafe-Tariea as I'm hell hungry.
Manik (Whisper): Here comes Our Cabir. BUKKAR IDIOT.

(Though Manik said it and Cabir listened to it but didn't say anything as He knows it's their Daily play and ignited the Engine.

While Cabir Drive the Car towards S.P.A.C.E, Manik looks outside of the Car and remembers His Chubby Cheeks which automatically brought a small Smile on His Lips and He looked more Boyish with that Smile which Cabir noticed and Smiles inwardly then hears.)

Manik: It's been a Week na which felt like a Decades.
Cabir (Interruptingly): Yeah absolutely it's been a Week, 7 Days, 168 Hours, 10080 Minutes & 604800 Seconds that You have seen Your Chubby Cheeks. Am I right or Am I right?

(Cabir saying this, He smirked at Poor Manik who now Faked Frowned.
While hearing this though He was aware Cabir would come up something like this and still Manik Frowned Fakely giving this indication "What He Is Talking About?")

Manik: Chubby Cheeks? Where does She come from? What I meant is it's been a Week We hardly came to S.P.A.C.E.

(Hearing this Cabir made a Knowing Face though it was Fake when He knows His Best Friend & Soul Brother too well. And continue saying in the same Tone.)

Cabir: Ohh yeah yeah absolutely as You say Manik.

(Though Cabir teased Him a little bit with His Teasing Smile but Manik completely ignored Him and turned His Head completely towards the Window and Smiled.)

Manik (Thinking): You are Absolutely right Cabir. These 7 Days went like a 7 Decades to Me without seeing Her. These 7 Days were more difficult for Me than those 5 Years. That One Single Moment in India 5 Years ago, after that it was hard for Me to leave Her there. And now after seeing Her in Past Week Time, it has become now too much hard & difficult for Me without seeing Her. I have decided in S.P.A.C.E I would see Her but completely avoid Her to make a little bit of Conversation. I will follow Her like a Shadow to Protect Her from everyone. I would be watching Her back to make Her Safe. I would do everything in My Capacity to Protect Her. After using My Own Powers I figured out that DANGER is coming for Me and want to destroy Me but since I can never be destroyed, killed or harmed until unless He/She will come to know about Chubby Cheeks so using Her He will harm Me & destroy Me because She is My Weakness. And in My fight I can't drag Her NOW even if in Future She turns out to be My Love or My Mate because whatever Feelings I have for Her it's too Strong, they are beyond Attraction which I got to experience in these 7 Days. I know whatever I feel for Her is not Like but it's something more than Like which is Strong, Powerful & Intense. But I can't admit & Name whatever I Feel for Her because I don't exactly know what They are. I have never fall in Love nor I got Love except from My Fab5 & My Mother Neyonika Malhotra so I don't know what it is like when You fall in Love with a Person which isn't Your Siblings, Bestfriend or Family Love. Yes, Neyonika Malhotra is My Mother but an adopted Mother, She had always tried to give Me Love not Mother only but also Father Love to Me which I deprived & craved for. In Her Capacity She had tried to give Me Love of both Parents and somewhere I Loved Her for this for making Me know there is someone except Fab5 who is waiting for Me to shower Her Love and who is Concerned for Me. But Beast inside of Me and the Betrayal I faced which pushed Me to the RED LIGHTS where every Day & Night I was Raped not only by Women but also by a Men plus My Body was given for BDSM every Night with Sexual, Physical, Mental & Emotional Abuse were directed on Me. Plus due to the Drugs given to Me made Me silent and made Me see how every time I was getting Raped and I couldn't able to do anything to save Myself from these Tortures. 3.5 Years of Mine over there facing every Tortures had pulled Me into complete Darkness and that made Me SEX ADDICT. If for Once I don't do Sex so I wouldn't be at Peace I would destroy everything which comes under My Power. Before I met My Chubby Cheeks so I needed Sex every hour to calm My Inner Beast. When I was in Red Light I didn't reached to the Perfect Age when I would acquire My Powers plus Ritual was needed to Activate them so till then I'm complete Human and I had spent all My 3.5 Years being Human in that Red Light if I would have acquired My Powers at that Time so maybe I wouldn't be in this Darkness. Then when I reached the Perfect Age of acquiring My Powers but Ritual was not done due to Activate them so that made Me that much Weak where I was looking more Worse than Corpse then don't know how John came in My Life He had Activated My Powers, My Beast needed to be Calm down which can only Real Mate would do though Aliya came forward fully knowing in process of Calming Me down & to Save Me. Ritual of Mate was done since Superiors proved I was Mateless. Even through Ritual of Mate was done making Aliya as My Mate but a Temporary one but still this Ritual wasn't Successful though She managed to Save Me but failed to give Me Warmth, Love, Care & Purity since She isn't My Mate and till Date I never had Mated Her meaning before Mating We need to Mark then this Sex won't be Sex but Mating so when I had never Marked Aliya We didn't Mated too, We did simply Sex. (Pause) When I was just a Human just after coming from Red Lights so I craved to have Sex because all the Time I spend there made Me Sex Addict which I didn't knew. I craved for it so much. Then after Acquiring My Powers these Feelings Tripled into Manifolds and I know I have became Sex Addict so every Hour I need to have Sex to calm Me down firstly not able to find My Own Mate who would calm My Inner Beasts down who would Love Me too much & always give Me Warmth so that alongwith Need of doing it again & again had made Me pretty much Sex Addict.

(Saying this He paused and once again Smile was back on His Face even the Smile was small but still it was there on His Face.)

Manik: Then after seeing My Chubby Cheeks 5 Years Ago, a Moment which I shared with Her was enough to provide Me Warmth which made My inner Beasts Yes My Wolf & My Vampire beast, She made My Inner Beasts calm down in that Moment only which I was searching since Years. That's why it was pretty much hard then all My Training to leave Her here. After coming back to States after sharing a Moment with Her, I did My Own Research to find out "Is She My Mate to whom I was searching & craving for Years?" and alongside unknowingly I stopped having One-Night Stands and for the first time it didn't bothered Me nor made Me Restless as I was on Important Mission aka to do My Own Research plus after sharing that Moment with Her unknowingly I stopped having it because I didn't wanted to do & something was stopping Me strongly. (Pause) After doing My Own Research I came to know She ISN'T My Mate which completely destroyed My Hope of being Happy with My Mate like Cabir is happy with HER. Once My Hope was shattered & destroyed I became more Ruthless, Arrogant & Evil. I became more Dangerous because I was pretty much Hurt, upset & angered on Myself and on My Destiny.  After that I became more Dominant & Ruthless even to Aliya. But I don't know how I Moaned taking My Chubby Cheeks when I had never done it. It made Me more Frustrated & Angered than already I was on Myself that I why I had to Moan taking Her PURE NAME when I was doing the Dirtiest thing. After that I had many Fights with Aliya because She dared to speak against My Chubby Cheeks. I can never tolerate anyone be it Fab5 or anyone talking a little bit ill about My Chubby Cheeks and here One word She spoke against My Chubby Cheeks so how could I stay silent I had to Punish Her. Yes I had Punished Her for speaking ill about My Chubby Cheeks even though it was a Word. After that Punished Aliya learned in a hard way never to say against My Chubby Cheeks and Defy Me. (Pause) What I felt earlier for My Chubby Cheeks it was so Strong that I couldn't ignore it and that made Me to find out whether She is My Mate or not. But now She is here in front of My Eyes. One look at Her I feel surrendering Myself to Her and unknowingly I have this Wish that please make Her My Mate even though all Answers are Negative. I really wanted Her to become My Mate. And My other Side Wishes Her not to be My Mate because whatever I feel for Her is too Strong that doesn't allow Me to become Selfish, for My Own Reasons I can't drag Her in My Dark Life. Yes My Life is filled with Darkness where I want no one to enter because I'm feeling this Pain everytime or I'm living with this Pain 24/7. When I want no one to Feel this Darkness which I'm stuck in Forever so how could I let My Chubby Cheeks who matters to Me the most. (Pause) I don't know whether this is Love as Cabir says as He has experienced the Love with His Mate. I don't know whether it is this Love or not or just My Strong Feelings for Her but still I don't want to Admit it that I Like Her way too much plus Betrayals in My Life had give Me hard Lesson there is no Love for Me and I too don't believe too. I'm too Confused with My Feelings for Her so how could I come close to Her when I know I can bring only Pain & Dangers in Her Life and I'm the biggest Danger with whom I had to Protect Her. Plus this NEW DANGER which Barita had mentioned using My Powers I came to know that DANGER is coming to Me and right now is very close to Me. Though nothing will happen to Me if He/She tries to harm Me it would be a futile but if that Person comes to know about My Chubby Cheeks so that Person would take Advantage of it and that would ultimately harm Me by hurting Her which I can never afford. So in order to Protect Her from this Danger too I had to ignore Her. Plus I am not the One for Her. She definitely deserves someone Better than Me whose Life isn't filled with Darkness who isn't Immortal. She deserves all the Happiness of Life. I might give Her My Love to Her when I know I feel something very Strongly but I can't give Her all the Happiness moreover Life with Me will always bring Dangers in Her Life because I'm Immortal not Ordinary Immortal but King of all Immortals. Many are envious of My this Post so they would use My Chubby Cheeks and harm Me which I never want. She is My only Happiness left in this Cruel World and if I had to Protect Her so I have to go away from Her but I will follow Her like a Shadow to Protect Her from everything. She means alot to Me if I can't deny this then I have no right to deny who actually I'm. So it's for Her Betterment only.

(Then remembering the Pain He had given to Her in Past Week.)

Manik: I'm really sorry Chubby Cheeks for making You go all through that. But it's for Betterment only to forget Me & Hate Me. Once again I'm Sorry.

(Saying this Manik closed His Eyes and drops of Red Blood Tears fell on His Cheeks. Getting Conscious He quickly wiped it but it was too Late as Cabir has already seen it and He felt guilty & upset, Guilty because He couldn't do anything for His Soul Brother and Upset that why He isn't accepting His Feelings for Her & giving damn Shit to Himself He is not right One for Her when She deserves better Person than Him plus He would only Bring Dangers in Her Life and why He is underestimating himself in Her Case & why He isn't getting it that She would be more Save & more Protected with Him as He will there for Her.
Seeing His Soul Brother like this, His Eyes became Teary too and decided first let this Danger be over then He would teach this Damn Thick-Headed Person but that doesn't mean He or Fab3 wouldn't do anything at all. Off-course They planned every Damn thing how to make this Thick-Headed Person Jealous. They would make sure to irritate Him alot that He has no Option left other than to acknowledge His Love for Her. Cabir is confused that when it's clearly written in His Eyes, His Expressions, His Face lights up thinking about Her. It's Crystal Clear that He has madly & Passionately fallen in Love with Her.
He understands Him that is why He is easy going on Him showing leniency but not for long.

Soon within No Time They reached S.P.A.C.E Academy.)

In S.P.A.C.E Academy
In Parking Lot
Cabir drives the Car "Bugatti Divo" through Drive Lane to the Parking Lot on the Usual Place. He parked the Car near Harshad's Car. He switched off the Engine and opened all Locks and was waiting for Manik to make a Move but then turning to Manik's side He was Amused to see another side of Manik which He or Fab3 had never seen. He wasn't shocked as He has expected the same thing that Manik in closed walls would let His Feelings out.

Meanwhile as soon as Cabir drove to Parking Lot, the first thing Manik noticed was his Chubby Cheeks stepping out of Harshad's Car.

[BMW M8 Gran Coupe 2021 Model: Harshad's Car]

Seeing Her was enough to light up His Face, His Eyes Twinkled & Shined seeing Her. Seeing Her talking with Navya and giggling a little bit at what Harshad was saying after stepping out from the Car. Seeing Her Giggling even though it was a little bit still it gives Him Unlimited Happiness. Unknown Warmth settles inside Him. His Beasts (Wolf & Vampire) smiled too seeing Her like this. Seeing Her Giggling, Manik too started Giggling slightly. Then seeing Her Talking with NavShad still standing besides Harshad's Car and His Hand Caresses Her through Window while His Eyes roamed on Her Entire Face and unknowingly He bit His Lips then unknowingly He sends a Kiss to Her feeling Craving to Touch Her Innocent Face, Caresses Her Chubby Cheeks & Protect Her Innocence which is shining in Her Eyes. Then looking at Her, He says Softly which came out as Whisper.

Manik: Chubby Cheeks I wish I wish I would be standing near to You and Touch Your Face, Caresses Your Chubby Cheeks, Kiss You & make You Smile Laugh Giggle at Me but unfortunately I can't. And it hurts Me the most when I have to create Distance between You and Pretend that You are Nobody to Me when You are everything to Me. I. I.. I don't know what it is and it's too Strong that it's taking all My Will-Power. But how much difficult it is but I have to do this for You no matter how much it Hurts Me.

(Saying this Once Again Manik's Eyes got Teary then quickly wiping His Tears & hides every sign which showed He got Emotional. Closing His Eyes & taking a Deep Breath then He opens His Eyes and Old Evil Manik was back who is too Evil & Devil to Innocent People except for One.
While Cabir has seen all this had pretended that He hasn't seen anything then seeing Old Evil Manik is back He smirked. This Evil Manik is Predictable but not Nandini's Manik as Cabir says and He doesn't feel bad about this because He had figured out pretty soon both have fallen in Love with each other and needed Time especially this Manik. In Short Span of Time alongside seeing Manik's Love towards Her, He had started Trusting Nandini, that much Trust which He has on His Mate, His Fab5 & Neyonika and now on Nandini that She won't harm His Soul Brother in anyway.

Soon after Parking Car in the Usual place in Parking Lot near to Harshad's Car when Manik was too busy in thoughts of His Chubby Cheeks.
Soon Manik & Cabir steps out of the Car maintaining their Evil, Dangerous Aura around them .

[Bugatti Divo Lady Bug: Manik's Car.]

Manik & Cabir are coming in Manik's Car as they are not coming from Mansion but straight from the Work after informing Fab3. Soon Fab3 also parked their Respectable
Vehicles in their usual place near Manik's Car. Dhruv on His Heavy Bike while Mukti & Aliya on Aliya's 2 Seater Car.

[Kawasaki Ninja H2R: Dhruv's Heavy Bike]

[Pagani Huayra BC: Aliya's Car.]

Stepping out of the Car while talking with Fab3 who joined Manik Cabir. While talking with them He come close to Nandini. While at the same time Nandini who is talking with Navya unaware of Fab5's Presence suddenly turned that made both of them collide with each other. Nandini's Soft Body Collided with Manik's Hard Body. As due to Strong Collision between both of them Nandini was about to fall that Manik in His Perfect Timing caught Nandini by holding Her Waist, He saved Her from Falling. It is the First Time when Manik & Nandini come this close to each other. Both looks into each other Eyes Softly unaware holding so much Love for each other. Manik Eyes holds so much Love for Her with Addition of Guilt and Nandini holds so much Love for Him with addition of that She is really upset with Him. Both continued looking in each other's Eyes in the Same Pose. As MaNan are lost with their Love that on the other hand Harshad who is Unaware of latest Development His Jaws dropped on Floor seeing this while Navya smiled and as usual praying Thanking the God. Whereas Fab4 on the other hand Smiled seeing this, not Smirk as seeing this Pure Action They Smiled to Heart Consent. Other than Fab5, NavShad & Nandini, the Students who are walking in the Parking Lot were hell Shocked to see this Ruthless & Evil Monster of the S.P.A.C.E with Innocent Girl. Week back what happened with Nandini in Cafeteria, the News didn't spread like a Fire as She is basically Nobody except for Fab5 & NavShad. But now seeing this Monster saving the Girl & lost in Her with Fab4 Smiling, this News spread in entire S.P.A.C.E Academy rapidly like a Fire but majority of the Peoples denied & called it Rumors as knowing Fab5 pretty well this can NEVER happen but those People are in for Surprise. And the remaining People neither believed nor took it as a Rumour.

Forgetting the Entire World, Manik & Nandini were lost in each other. For them everyone was forgotten. To them nothing mattered except looking at each other's Eyes. Soon They were back to the World when Manik realized what He decided & what He was doing. Gently He made Her stand and that made Nandini Conscious. She was about to walk from there that suddenly Manik, after fighting with himself, He called Her to ask.

Manik: Chu... Ahhh I mean Nandini, are You okay?

(Asking this Simple Question He thought a lot and fought with Himself. While listening to this Nandini rooted on the Spot hearing this Question. Though it was Simple Question but what caught her, what shocked Her & what made Her to Rooted on the Spot was His Tone which holds so much Care, Warmth & Worry. Then Smiling a little She nodded while looking down.
Then Nandini's Eyes falls on His Attire.

[Manik's Attire. Brown inner Shirt, Blue Denim Jacket paired with Denim Trouser.]

And Manik's Eyes now drops from Her Face to Her Attire and it caught His Breath. She was wearing no Fancy Clothes but Her simple Dressing made Him to lose and in no Time His Eyes & Body Language became Tensed seeing Her who is looking like an ANGEL, His Angel.

[Nandini's Attire. White Shirt and full length Red Blue Lines Skirt. And imagine White Stole around Nandini's Neck.]

His Eyes then looks at Her Face and suddenly bite His Lower Lip stopping Himself from Praising Her & Kissing Her for thanking Her for looking like an Angel, His Angel. While His hands turned into Fists trying to gain control. Then fully turning to Fab4 and with difficulty He says to them.)

Manik: Let's go Guyz I'm feeling Restless over here.

(Fab4 who saw His Stiff & Tensed Body Language suddenly got worried, they knew their Best Friend wanted to come close to His Love which He hasn't yet accepted, admitted or not realized till now. He is holding himself from coming close to Her. Words weren't needed, infact Words were NEVER needed to explain things between them. They nodded and soon begin to walk.
Whereas Nandini who felt little bit Happiness seeing His Concern for Her now took His Words in another way that He is feeling Restless due to Her or because of Her and that made Nandini's Eyes filled with Tears that again He did it.

Both of their Eyes hold Pain for each other but for different Reasons here Manik is in Pain that He wants to Minimize the Distance between them but not wanting to hurt Her and Protecting Her from himself & from Lurking Danger, He did hurt Her. Whereas Nandini is in Pain that once again Her little bit of Happiness it was very different One but it was extremely Pure, Nandini misunderstanding Him got more Hurt then She remembers Manik's words saying about His Relationship with Aliya & She is Nobody for Him, that made Tears to escape from Her Eyes.

Breaking the Eye-Contact and walks in Opposite Direction both putting Heavy Stone on their Heart. Manik's Heart which was DEAD since He acquired or Activated His Powers but whenever He sees His Chubby Cheeks His Dead Heart got life and it started beating faintly and when She goes away from Him so His Heart again stopped beating. That means Nandini is Heartbeat of Heart. And without Heartbeat, Heart can never function and the same happens here.
Nandini whose Heart got heavy seeing & remembering how He treated Her in Past Week.

Fab4 Sighed, they know what made both Nandini & Manik to React like this. They Sighed if that Danger wasn't after them or DEVILZ (Name of Fab5 in Immortals and very Rarely someone knows about this) then right now They might have started working on their Plan to make Manik realize His Feelings. Fully unaware that Danger is not coming from them but only for Manik. To make them less worried, he hid this Fact. While walking to His Music Department Building towards His Jam Room in His Fast Human Speed leaving Fab4 behind. Everyone thought same thing for Manik

Fab4 (Thinking): No Worries it's for just Time Being Buddy. Soon We are going to erase all of Your Distances and soon We are going to work on Mission MMR (Making Manik Realize).

(They Promised themselves to make Manik realize His Love for Her and then they are going to take back step as they know once He realizes His Love for Her He wouldn't hold Himself anymore. He would cross every bridge, every hurdle to come close to Her.

They Promised to themselves soon They are going to make Their Brother, Soul-Brother, Buddy & Best Friend Happy. They Promised "Very Soon." and Smiled to each other.

Whereas holding Her Hand Navya pulls Nandini to Her Department while Harshad suddenly remembered World's all Jokes and say it infront of Her to make Her Giggle or atleast even Smile but it has no Effect on Her making both NavShad Sighed. Should they accused Manik or His Destiny, they don't know as how much they Have seen Him they know to get success in this Relation and to bind Nandini & Manik in Love Relationship it would take Time plus Their Heart should be Strong to pass the Circumstances & Challenges to be with each other. NavShad thought its hard & complicated but they don't it's just matter of sometime, before Manik & Nandini will be binded in Love Relationship they have to come across many things and in this Process Manik & Nandini would learn about each other making their Feelings for each other more stronger but Nandini will remain Unaware of Manik's & Fab5's Real Identity same goes with NavShad.)

In Music Department Building
On Top Floor
In Fab5's Jam Room
Coming straight from the Parking Lot, Manik walks fastly in His Human side to His Jam Room.
Once coming there, He starts to Walk To & Fro like this He might have covered 1 KM or more than it while Fab4 watched Him. Since Manik was so busy in Walking He didn't noticed Fab4 came there and getting seated They see Him walking like this.
When it was enough, getting frustrated the Lady Bheem or Mukti Stands up, walks to Manik holding His Collar, She shouted.

Mukti: Enough is enough Manik.

(Hearing this Manik was caught off-Guard since He wasn't ready for this. Seeing Manik's Expressions, Mukti calmed down and speaks.)

Mukti: Enough is enough Manik. We have seen You all Restless in Past Week when You wanted to see Her but couldn't. And here You wanted to come to Her but then maintained Silence with Her. Why Manik? Why don't You accept You have feeling for Her? Why don't You realize it's Love?

(Hearing this Manik took no Second to think. He just spoke which came out as Rude reply.)

Manik: Mukti I haven't denied that I don't have some Feelings for Her, off-course I feel for Her and in this Past Week I realized its Damn Strong. But I will never accept it would be Love. Because I know it's not Love. And according to You what is Love, what is this Damn Love. Is Love that Your Own Family Member tried to destroy You? Is this Love, when You got completely pushed into Darkness and it is because of Your Own Family? Tell Me Mukti what is Love? Is this Love whose Family has pushed Him to great extend where He has no Trust left no Hope left. You know very Well what is Love for Me, it's TRUST. But look at the Irony My Own Family Member has killed this Trust. So now there is No Trust left in Me. No Trust No Love. (Pause) My Real Parents they NEVER accepted Me because I was a Mistake for them in their Supernatural Community. They feared what if Elders (Elders who are even Superior than Superiors aka Marcus Volturi) got to know They had given birth to a Human Child so They would be Punished severely. I was the Only ONE who borned as a Human Child in the Supernatural World and I would Acquire My Powers when I would cross 18 Years of Age till then I will remain as Human and Ritual would be needed to Activate My Powers. To My Parents I was CURSE given by a Witch that There Upcoming Child will be Human, their Suspicion got Confirmed after I was born. They tried to Kill Me alot but never got Successful as I was born never to Die. So they send Me to the Human World to get rid of Me. They never thought how 2 Year Baby is going to Survive in the Human World. But they were so Heartless that They never thought about it. For Years in the Human World only I know how Bad & Cruel the World is. Then at the Age of 13 Years for some Money a Person to whom I got Fond of so much, He sell Me to Brothel for some Money for Operation of His Wife. Why because I wasn't His Own so He sacrificed Me for His Own Happiness. (Pause) Tell Me Mukti is it what We Call Love? I know very Well that You guyz and Neyonika means no Harm to Me, You 5 are pretty much Concerned for Me & Love Me so much but still I couldn't Trust You all because still there is Fear in Me of Betrayal that You Guyz would also Betray Me because I'm not Blood Related to You all. (Pause) And You know when My so called Parents came to know I'm "KING OF ALL IMMORTALS" so being Shameless They are trying to Contact Me why because I'm not Weak nor Human, I have Power. Bl**dy Bastards. (Pause) So tell Me Mukti is this Love when I know I can never Fall in Love because I have no hope of Trusting someone is left. When I know I have only Darkness around Me & My Life is filled with Darkness and there is no one who can bring Light in Me, Lightened up My Life or Shine for Me. (Pause) Even though I know I feel something Strongly for Nandini but it isn't enough. It isn't enough. I know I would never be able to forget Her or would never be able to take Her out of My Mind. Cabir or as You say this is Love so how wouldn't I Object because for Me LOVE IS TRUST and I am fully assured even after feeling something for Her, I DON'T TRUST HER. Next I know there is no One who would want to Light up My Dark World or Shine for Me. And eventhough Aliya is My Best Friend, She sacrificed Her Life to save Me when She knew in this She could lose Her Life but still She went on to save my life for Ritual of Mate, but see even for once or single ounce of Trust She couldn't able to develop. In these 7 Years of Relationship I had seen Her becoming a Perfect Girlfriend, She is everything which Boy wants everything in a Partner but see still I kept on throwing Challenges at Her and never give a Place of My Loved One to Her. I never Mated Her as before Mating We need to Mark Our Partners and since I'm Tribrid I need to Mark in My Vampiric form as well as in My Wolf form but see I never Marked Her nor Mated Her when She had done lots of things for Me. Because even after everything I couldn't Trust Her. So tell Me when I couldn't Trust & Love You Guyz aka Fab4 & My adopted Mother Neyonika who were with Me since long time so how can I Trust & Love Nandini when it's hardly been Few Moments. So Nandini can never be My Love. She can NEVER be.

(Saying this with Teary Eyes, He closed His Eyes and Chanted some Spell then Vanished in Air as if He wasn't present here.
While Fab4 Eyes got filled with Tears seeing how much Pain He is holding in himself. Then Dhruv says.)

Dhruv: It's going to be Futile attempt making Buddy realize His Love.
Mukti: Why?
Cabir (Interruptingly): Because as Manik says till He doesn't Trust Her so He is not going to acknowledge His Love.
Mukti: But Cabir for that this Idiot has to let come Nandini close to Him so that She can build Trust in Him. Like this He would never going to acknowledge His Love for Her.
Aliya: Mukti, I agree with Dhruv it's Futile because We have been Friends with Manik since Years and pretty much We are close to each other but still We couldn't build that Trust in Him. Neither Neyonika Aunty even after Loving Him so much still She failed to build Trust which Manik is Craving for.
Dhruv: Yesss. And Buddy's Fear are so Deep that He couldn't come out of His Past so till He doesn't let go of His Past Baggage He is not going to grow up nor be able to Trust Her, us nor anyone.
Cabir: But for that this Idiot needs someone to share His Past and except Today He had never shared His Past with us and it was because of Nandini. He wants to Love Her but due to Past He is unable to do so. And I think after Past Week, only Nandini is the Person who would break His Shell, make Him to say His Past to Her. But if He isn't going to let Nandini come to Him so... Here Jealously won't work because it has become too Deep for Him. (Pause) Plus We can't go to Nandini. What are We going to tell Her? That Manik needs You and He is this & that please come close to Him. It's more Complicated than I have thought.
Mukti: But Cabir We can't sit silently and wait for Miracle to happen. I think for the starters We need to Befriend Her.
Aliya (Interrupting): Will this work?
Mukti: Don't know but We need to start from somewhere and I think We should start from here.
Dhruv: But how are We going to do this? We have so many Enemies and recently this Danger. Already Buddy is afraid regarding about Her and when He comes to know We are trying to Befriend so it would take a Time that He would sit calmly.
Aliya: So what. We need to Befriend Her. Navya & Harshad are already & are only friends in S.P.A.C.E and since Nandini is going to be with them so Manik won't even doubt.
Dhruv: I'm Afraid. It's Buddy We are talking about.
Mukti: Just shut up Dhruv don't get freaked so much. I know it's Manik but He won't react like a Monster. Plus have You forgotten He already told Cabir that He would let Her to do Friendship with us so why this now. Just Relax.

(To Mukti's words, Cabir nodded.)

Cabir: And in this way no one will doubt as everyone knows We have Good friendship with Navya & Harshad. So just Relax Dhruv. I know He says He doesn't Trust us but He is forgetting He Trust us enough to share His Feelings about His Chubby Cheeks with us and Trust us enough to be friends with Her. So relax everyone plus when we all are together so no Danger would even scratch Nandini. And Manik is there so He wouldn't let anyone harm Her little bit. I have seen Him transforming into Monster to Punish His Chubby Cheeks's Attackers.

(Remembering the Forest Scene and scene still it horrifies Him that how His Best Friend & Soul Brother transformed into Monster to Punish those 5 Students who dared to Hurt His Chubby Cheeks.

After sometime They thought to utilise this Time in making some Music but couldn't able to even after trying alot because firstly Manik is not there & secondly they are not in Mood. Then thoughts.)

Mukti: Let's meet Them.

(By "Them" She meant NavShad especially Nandini. Fab3 nodded and walked from there.)

In Science Department
On Third Floor
In Nandini's Classroom
From the Parking Lot both NavShad takes Nandini to Class Room which is thankfully Free as Nandini's Class from 1st Period to 3rd Period are Free and 4th Period is also going to be Free since the English Teacher is on leave. And right now the 2nd Period is going on.
Navya made Nandini sit on Chair and gently holding Her Hand, She ask.

Navya: Nandu You okay?

(Hearing this Nandini raises Her Eyes at Her and says Softly.)

Nandini: Woh Mere saath aisa kyun karhe hain? Ek pal main Care karna Meri aur dusre Pal main Mujhe apne Aap se dur karna. Kya Mein ishi keh layak hoon?

[Nandini: Why is He doing all this with Me? In One Moment He Care for Me and at another Moment He Distances himself away from Me. Do I only deserve this?]

(Listening to Her, Navya's Eyes got filled with Tears then hugged Her being Emotional. Whereas Harshad was confused, what they are talking about but seeing their expressions now He got worried. He was about to say something but kept silent, letting both Friends talk with each other.

Then breaking the Hug, Navya cupped Her Cheeks. And says.)

Navya: Nandu Manik hai hi aisa. Woh kisi ko bhi apne kareeb nahi ane deta, Hum aur Harshad aur bhi log hain lakin bas Fab4 exceptional hain.

[Navya: Nandu Manik is like this only. He doesn't allow anyone to come close to Him, Me & Harshad and there are more People but only He allows Fab4 to come close to Him, Fab4 are exceptional.]

(Hearing Fab4 She Frowned then clearing Her Doubts.)

Navya: Manik keh saath jo 4 log hain woh Fab4 hain aur Manik ko milakar Fab5. Woh charo Manik keh sirf Best Friends nahi hain. Ya yeh kahoon Manik unhe apni Family manta hai aur woh Manik ko. Manik unke liye kuch bhi karsakhta hai and Woh bhi. ANYTHING MEANS ANYTHING. So where was I, yes Manik bas Fab4 keh close hai yahan tak keh apni khud ki Maa Neyonika Aunty se bhi close nahi hai. Aliya uski Girlfriend reh chuki hai for last 7 Years lakin woh dono ek Perfect Relationship main nahi they because jitna Hum Manik ko jante hain usey bas akela rhena pasand hai aur Relationships se dur bhagta hai. (Pause) Nandu agar Tum Manik keh liye kuch feel karne lagi ho toh Tumhe apne Dill ko Strong banana hoga aur agar nahi karsakhti toh bhul jaho. Kyuke Manik bht Complicated Insaan hai. Aur agar woh bhi Tumare liye kuch feel bhi karne laga hoga toh kabhi nahi kahega. Here would be like "Actions Speak Louder Than Words" (Pause) Hum nahi jante Manik aisa kyun hai lakin Hum itna zaroor jante hain agar Manik kisi keh liye zara sa bhi feel karta hai toh woh uske liye bht kuch karhega. Hum kehne ko toh Manik ki friend hain lakin Humare itna close na hote hue bhi woh Humara bht khyal rakhta hai. Kabhi samne se kuch nahi kahega aur hamesha peche se karhega kyuke woh nahi chahata koi yeh jaane keh is Monster ka Dill bhi Acha hosakhta hai. Manik apne Naam ki tarhan hai, He is a Gem.

[Navya: Those 4 People who were with Manik they are Fab4 and including Manik it makes FAB5. Those 4 People are not Manik's only Best Friends. Or should I say Manik takes them as His Family Members and same goes with them. Manik can do anything for them and they can do anything for Him. ANYTHING MEANS ANYTHING. So where was I, yes Manik is only close to Fab4 that much closer than He isn't with His Own Mother Neyonika Aunty. Aliya has been His Girlfriend for the last 7 Years but They both are not in a Perfect Relationship because as much as I came to know about Manik He likes to stay alone and He runs away from Relationship. (Pause) Nandu if You are beginning to feel something for Manik so You have to make Your Heart Strong and still if You can't then You need to forget Him. Because Manik is too much Complicated Person. And if He too begin to feel something for You then He would never Accept His Feelings. Here would be like "Actions Speak Louder Than Words" (Pause) I don't know why Manik is like this but I know this surely if Manik starts to feel anything even if that is little so He would do Lot of things for that Person. I being Manik's Friend but even though We aren't that close but still He takes Care of Me alot. He would never take care of Me from front but always behind My back because He doesn't want anyone to know that This Monster's Heart is Good. Manik is like His Name, He is a Gem.]

(Saying this Navya paused. Then continue seeing Nandini's Face.)

Navya: Nandu Hum tumse jhoot nahi kahainge, Humne ek dafa nahi do dafa nahi balke teen Dafa Humne Manik ko Smile karte hue dekhe aur woh bhi sirf tumari wajase. Warna Humne usey hamesha Serious hi dekha hai sab keh saath yahan tak Aliya uski Girlfriend & Fab4 keh saath. Lakin Tum ek wahid Insaan ho jiske liye Humne Manik ko smile karte hue dekha hai. Aur kahai na kahai Humain lagta hai woh 5 log jo Cafe Tariea main aye they Maafi mangne tumse toh shayid uski waja Manik ho. Aur jo Parking Lot main hua woh Mere liye bht Shocking tha lakin shayid Manik ko aise tumare liye badalte hue dekh kar Mujhe addat hoja nahi chaiye. (Pause) Nandu Mein proof keh saath toh nahi keh sakhti lakin mujhe lagta hai keh Mene Manik ki Aankho main Tumare liye kuch dekha hai aur yeh bht Pure & strong hai. Lakin Nandu, Manik itni asaani keh saath Tumhe apne kareeb nahi ane dega aur is bech hosakhta hai woh Tumhe kuch karwa bhi Bole toh Tumhe bardash karna hoga agar nahi karsakhti toh tumhe usey bhulna hoga. I'm saying all this kyuke Manik bht complicated Person hai. Uske barema koi bhi rahye banane se pehle Tumhe usey dekhna chaiye, uske kahe hue Lafzo keh peche Jazbaat ko suna chaiye aur samjho keh woh kya kehna chahata lakin kya kehdeta hai. (Pause) Nandu it's not about You, it's about Him. Woh Monster zaroor hai Nandu lakin uske Seene main bhi Dill bhi aur woh bhi Mehsus karta hai. Agar aisa nahi hota toh aj Humain bhi baki Logo ki tarhan se usey Nafrat hoti lakin uske Dar keh Marhe keh nahi pate. So Nandu You need to be very sure about Him before making Your Feelings strong for Him.

[Navya: Nandu I won't Lie to You, not for once not for twice but for Thrice Times I have seen Manik smiling and all Credit goes to You. Or else I have always seen Him as a Serious Person with everyone even with His Girlfriend Aliya & with Fab4. But You are the only Person for whom I have seen Manik smiling. And according to Me it feels like those 5 Students who came to Cafeteria to ask for Your Apology so maybe Manik is the Reason behind that Apology. And what happened in Parking Lot that was too Shocking for Me but maybe I should get used to it seeing Manik changing Himself for You. (Pause) Nandu I can't say this with Proof but I think I have seen Something in Manik's Eyes for You and that is extremely Pure & Strong. But Nandu Manik won't let You come close to Him so easily and maybe in this Process He would say some Bitter words to You so You have to endure it and if You can't so You need to forget Him. I'm saying all this because Manik is very much complicated Person. Before making any Opinion about Him first You need to see Him, know Him, You need to understand his feelings behind His words and understand what He wanted to say & what He told. (Pause) Nandu it's not about You, it's about Him. Though He is Indeed Monster Nandu but He also has a Heart and He too has feelings. And if isn't like that so today even I also other People I would Hate Him but due to Fear of Him I wouldn't be able to express it. So Nandu You need to be very sure about Him before making Your Feelings strong for Him.]

(Hearing this She nodded and She understood Navya is also very Concerned about Him. And She would never lie about Him to Her. Plus She knew Navya is right before making any Opinion about Him She needs to know about Him. And at One Moment She feels a strange Pull towards Him from the first Time They had an Eye-to-Eye Meeting 5 Years ago and on another Side She feels Guilty for Feeling such a thing about Him when She knows He is already someone else not Hers which hurts Her deeply. Then Navya's Words made Her confused that Is She giving Her Green Signal when She already knows He is already Committed.

Nandini was busy in Her thoughts that She hears someone's voice. Raising Her Eyes She sees Group of 4 Persons with whom She had seen with Manik. So they are the One to whom Navya was referring as Fab4. Then She heard someone asking for Handshake. Raising Her Eyes then lowering Her Eyes, She looks at the Person who is wearing White Net short Dress which reach till Her Upper Thighs.

[Mukti's Dress.]

She is looking at the Person shockingly that She forget Her Manners. Once again She heard.)

Mukti: Hii. I'm Mukti, Mukti Vardhan Member of Fab5.

(Before Nandini could say anything, She heard Navya's voice.)

Navya: Nandu They are Fab5. Manik keh dost jiske barema btaya tha Mene Tumhe. Yeh Manik ki Family hai.

[Navya: Nandu They are Fab5. They are Manik's Friends about whom I had told You. They are Manik's Family.]

(Navya said it in Urdu/Hindi Deliberately to Nandini as Fab4 are present here to which Nandini nodded. Whereas Fab4 looked at Harshad frowning as what Navya is saying about them to Nandini to which Harshad shrugged His Shoulders as He is too unaware.)

Nandini: Assalam o Alaikum I'm Nandini, Nandini Murthy from India.

(As Fab4 as well as Harshad was confused that why She just told but nevertheless Mukti nodded with a small Smile.
Then Nandini, still seeing Mukti's hand in Air She forwards Her Hand for Handshake. As soon as Mukti touched Her hand, suddenly She feels something as jerkingly Mukti pulled back Her hand and immediately Fisted Her same Hand which confused everyone except Fab3.

Then Aliya introduced Herself, seeing Aliya in more Short Dress than Mukti, Nandini got more shocked. But nevertheless being shocked still She introduced Herself.

[Aliya's Dress]

Seeing Aliya, She thought.)

Nandini (Thoughts): She is soo Beautiful maybe that's why Manik like Her and made Her, His Girlfriend.

(Then remembering both the Girls aka Mukti & Aliya who are wearing short Dresses.)

Nandini (Thoughts): Why both of them are wearing Short Dresses maybe They liked the dresses but due to unavailability of correct Size They bought it and are wearing it. But still They need to wear anything to hide their Legs.

(Then Cabir & Dhruv came forward to introduce themselves by handshaking and Nandini too introduced Herself to them.

Then Nandini looked at Navya and asked confusingly.)

Nandini: Yeh Fab5 kya hai?

[Nandini: What is Fab5?]

(Before Navya could say, Mukti asked due to being a Short-Tempered Girl.)

Mukti: Hold on. What is She asking Navya? And please stop this playing as We aren't getting Head&Tail of both of You.

(Hearing Her Navya smiled and answered.)

Navya: Mukti We are talking in Our Native Language. As coincidently We belong to the same place. She feels Comfortable in talking in Our Native Language so We always talk. By the way, the answer to Your question is She is asking Me "What is Fab5?".

(Hearing "What is Fab5?" all Fab5 Members aka Fab4 got shocked and widened their Eyes. And shockingly Dhruv asked Nandini.)

Dhruv: Seriously You don't know what is Fab5?

(Like a Baby, Nandini nodded in No which made Fab4 & NavShad go Awwww on Her. Then coming forward Aliya says Softly to Her.)

Aliya: You are so Innocent Nandini. And Fab5, well Fab5 is Name of Our Group where We all 5 including (Stretching) Manikkk, are like a Family to each other more than Friends. Plus Fab5 is also Name of Our Musical Band. We are quite famous in S.P.A.C.E because of Our Music and due to Our Friendship.

(First of all NavShad got extremely Shock seeing Fab4 are introducing themselves to someone who is complete Stranger to them plus Fab4 has NEVER done this and they had always made Fun of someone who unaware of Fab5's evilness came to them to tell them that He/She is their Fan & wanted their Autograph but Fab5 instead of Smilingly accepted, they made Fun of the Person then bullied the Person. So that's why NavShad got extremely shocked seeing this side of Fab4 then Aliya speaking Softly to Nandini.

But then suddenly Navya's Frown into something else after thinking.)

Navya (Thoughts): Are Fab4 being polite to Nandu because of Manik? Is Manik the Reason behind Fab4's changed behavior? Like Me, They have also figured out Manik's feelings? But if it's like that then knowing Aliya very well She would have made Ruckus but here such thing didn't happen.

(Then Fab4 continued to talk with NavShad involving Nandini too but Nandini kept silent most of the Time. She smiled only in Answers. But that was enough for Fab4 at least they are trying to make Nandini comfortable with them. Understanding Nandini, They gave Her some time for which Nandini was thankful to them.)

After Sometime
It was nearly 12 O' Clock when College is going to end if not for 2 competition on going, as today is Short Day or else Classes would end till 5 PM. Some Students who were already sitting & walking around that Suddenly They saw a Boy who has GREENISH EYES and immediately a Weather changed. Sun hides behind Clouds.

Boy (Thinks): Here I'm.

(Smirking to Himself, Boy started walking, ignoring everyone's Presence as He knew what might be the Reaction of those Students.)
