After the mind-blowing performances of fab 5 and NavNi in talent hunt.. Everyone were sitting in the green room.

when suddenly manik said
" Dhruv yaar tu tha kaha? Not getting any reply from Dhruv, he dropped it and continued But leave it. Ab tu aa gaya na. Now we will be fab 5 once again. Right guys? " 

" Nahi "
Came Dhruv's short and curt reply.

" Nahi ? "
Manik in a state of shock, repeated it, he thought, everything was getting better, where did this pop up from ?

" Haan nahi , ye ladki, ye zimmedar hai humari dosti todne ke liye, ajj hum fab 5 se sirf, Manik, Dhruv, Alia, Cabir, Mukti ban gaye hain. Isne toda hai hume. "
Out of nowhere, Dhruv shouted, shocking all of them.

" Druv ye tu kya bol raha hai, haan? "
Manik couldn't take what Dhruv was going on about.

" kya galat bol raha hai dhruv?Sahi toh keh raha hai, is ladki ne sab barbad kar diya hai. "
Adding to the list of shocks coming Manik's way, it was Mukti this time, who supported what Dhruv said.

" Haan Manik! Isne tumhe humse chin liya hai, Ab tum hamare manik nahi rahe, you've changed. "
MaNan stood there shattered. Nandini was crying, due to their false accusations and Manik, Manik was speechless. The most important persons in his life were accusing the another most important part of his life, his existence, his love, his Nandini.

  " Pagal ho gaye ho tumlog ha? Kuch nahi kiya hai usne, tumlog the jisne apne aapko fab 5 ko todne ka mauka
diya. "
Having enough of everything, Manik rubbed his face, and shouted.

" Dekh manik, tu is ladki ke liye hum pe chilla raha hai, Wah Nandini, you've trapped him completely. "
Dhruv looked Nandini's way, clapped his hands in a sarcastic way as his face showed pure disgust for her.

" She is such a Bitch "
Shouted Alia at Nandini, with her nose scrunched in disgust.

" Don't you dare Alia, don't you dare call her that, is that clear ? "
Manik was flabbergasted with their reactions, what has gotten into them today?

" Why shouldn't i ? Iski wajah se tumhara aur mera break up hua "
Alia cribbed like a child, as she tried to dig into the past.

" Tumhe bhi pata hai hamara break up hone ka reason Nandini nahi hai, Tum ho Manik looked at Cabir, his soul brother, but Cabir stood there silent  Cabir tu kuch nahi kahega? Tu bhi kuch bol le yaar, sab ne toh bol diya. "
Manik felt completely helpless at this moment.

" Alia theek keh rahi hai, Nandini ke aane se pehle, tum dono kitne khush the, sab theek tha. "
Manik couldn't believe, Mukti was saying this, she knew they weren't happy together.

" Manik you have to choose between her and us "
And that was it, Manik and Nandini  were shocked, Nandini held his hand in a death grip.

All the things he said after new year's eve came into her mind, the way he said
" yes i will choose fab 5 because they need me to protect them " scared her.

" Yes manik you will have to choose between her and us. "
Said Alia, she didn't want them together at all, this was her golden opportunity.

" Manik, we were with you when you didn't even know about her existence, hum fab 5 hai Manik, tune promise kiya tha, hume protect karne ka, she knew where she had to play the master card, so she looked at Cabir, who stood there silently Cabir kuch bolna yaar "
Mukti was smart player, she knew what she was doing.

( Cabir is straight in this story )

" Main kya bolu yaar, kaise dost ho tumlog? Usne hame hamesha protect kiya hai, aur jab wo apni khushi ke liye, kuch kar raha hai toh tumlogo se bardash nahi ho raha hai? Wo bas Nandini se pyaar karta hain, is that his fault? "
A small ray of hope awoke MaNan's chest, as Cabir spoke in their favour.

" Dekha is ladki ne cabir ko bhi apni side pe kar liya. "
Dhruv had no plans of backing out today.

" Tumhe choose karna hoga, ye commoner ya phir fab5 "

Manik started getting flashes of their happy time.. How the five of them became the fab 5. Since the time of warrior high, till now, they were together, their band, and on the other hand he got the flashes of his and Nandini's love, the way she loves him, comforts him, understands him, protects
him.
It was difficult for him to even stand there on his own two feets.

Finally having enough of Manik's silence, Mukti shouted  shouted
" Manik bol na yaar she went towards him, she seperated MaNan's hand, jerked nandini's hand, brought him towards their side and said calmly Manik tu please Nandini ko chod de, tune kaha tha na ki tu hume protect karega ? Please na manik, dekh Alia tujhse ab bhi utna hi pyar karti hai, please use apna le, Manik tujhe hamari kasam, tu nahi hoga toh hum barbad hojayege,  Manik plzzz. "
Mukti hit where it hurts the most, she blackmailed him, with his love for them.

Manik was hell confused, confused would be a very small word to describe his emotions, whom should he choose, If one is his heart then the another one is his heartbeat, but after listening to Mukti's another demand of accepting Alia shocked him as well as Nandini.He took a look towards Nandini and saw what he didn't want to see ever,  painful tears.

Nandini's condition was no less, Mukti's demand of manik and Alia being together again, Took away the floor beneath her feet.

" Manik kya chahiye tujhe ye kal ki aayi ladki ya phir hum fab 5? "
Dhruv took the advantage of Manik's state, as he did nothing but rubbed salt over Manik's wounds.

Manik, he went towards nandini cupped her face and said
"  I am choosing fab 5 "
this was enough to break Nandini into pieces and to make fab 4 happy.

"  Nandini thank you so much for always loving me, par mai fab 5 ko akele nahi chod sakta hoon, I have to protect them. Isiliye mai tumhe chod raha
hu "
Only if Manik ever knew, how much this would cost him, maybe he would've taken it back.

" Man...Manik, hum kuch solution nikalege na, hum sab baith ke aaram se baat karege, Please aise mat karo, main yeh nahi keh rahi hu ki tum fab 5 ko chodo, par ye keh rahi hu ki mera saath bhi mat chodo. Hum dono milkar phirse fab 5 ko jodenge .. "
She was about to continue, she wanted to try, she couldn't break something so beautiful in just a snap of a finger.

"  Samaj nahi aa raha hai tumhe, wo kya keh rahe hain? Kya baith ke baat karenge ha? Main nahi chod sakta unhe, you get that, tumhe meri zindagi me aaye bas ek saal hua hai, wo charo mere saath 10 saal se hai, nahi chod sakta mai unhe, Kuch bhi kar sakta hu mai unke liye, kuch bhi. "
Nandini stood rooted at her place, as Manik threw all his frustrations at her, he blabbered things thay affected her heart majorly, why was he doing this to her innocent heart?

" Manik mujhe pata tha, tu hame nahi chodega, tu hamara Manik hai, Fab 5 ka protector, tu Alia ko accept karega na? Usne tum dono ke break up ke baad, Apni life destroy karne ki koshish ki hai, tu use phir se accept karle, wo toh hamare group ki barbie doll hai,  karega na use accept, pata nahi agar usne aage kuch ulta sidha kar liya apne aap ko toh?  Toh fab 5 phirse tut jayega Manik... Bol na Manik. "
Manik just shut his eyes tightly and heard Mukti say, Mukti was playing this game of manipulation, without any regrets.

Manik after listening that Alia did something to herself and could do  the same thing in future, nodded his head ferociously, without any further thoughts, and said

"  Haan mai phirse Alia ko accept karuga "
If for them he could leave the girl who taught him how to love, the girl who had his whole heart, accepting Alia was a no biggie for him, he knew, they'd never be happy together.

Listening to Manik, Alia was the happiest, she came running and hugged manik tightly, all this while Navya and Cabir were silent spectators of the situation, Navya wasn't supporting her friend, somewhere she also had that grudge against Nandini. Because nandini included Aryaman, without her consent in their group, but the reason behind that was unknown to Navya, Cabir was feeling happy somewhere as after so many days, Fab 5 were together, fab 5 can be back.

Nandini with tears in her eyes, heart beating rapidly, moved towards Manik with heavy steps, she looked at his chocolatey brown orbs, for one last time, and let him have a look at hers, cupping his face, and gently pressing a kiss on his forehead she spoke

" Manik tumne phirse mujhe chod diya,  hamesha ki tarah, mai ja rahi hu Manik, tumse bohot door "
If only Manik knew, how it's going to be after this, Manik Malhotra, himself ruined his own self.
