....................................................

As soon as aarya abhi and khushi left the mansion there was pin drop silence in the living room from where few minutes back sounds of laughter and giggles were coming. There was an uncomfortable silence.

Everybody faces showed how curious they were to know what the other did in past 6 years. But nobody knew from where to start.

See the game of destiny and how the time has changed fab 5 who once when used to be together in a room the room was filled with loud sounds of music and laughters and positive vibes and today they are sitting in silence like strangers.

Author's pov

Thus truly said " time waits for none."
One mistake done in anger and in wrong state of mind did change everything for so many innocent people. Harsh words said in anger can never be taken back they hurt the other person and it can never be forgotten.
Sometimes feeling sorry or saying sorry can never reduce the pain other has suffered.

Manik was all calm and even he wanted to ask questions but only to cabir and that to about cavya and nobody else.
While cavya wanted to know evrrything and even fab3 wanted to know everything out of jealousy and insecurities to see manan so happy and successful and specially seeing nandini's importance in manik's life, but they did not dare to ask and with what rights would they ask him and will he really answer or even acknowledge their questions.....

So seeing the uncomfortable silence cabir broke the silence.

Cabir : so manik as now only we are here so start your princess is out with abhimanyu so please tell your long story...

Manik : cabir you wish to listen alll it will be too much or i should tell you in short.

Cabir : nope I want to listen the long one.

Manik : so from where should I start..

Cabir in excitement : from that day when you.....

On realising what he had said he curses himself and look at manik and fab3 one by one. Where manik had a genuine smile and not a sign of hurt while fab3 had their heads lowered and expression of anger and hurt on their faces. They were themselves confused what they want or what they feel about manan right now.

Author's pov

Fab3 have filled their minds with so much of negativity, insecurities and jealousy that they are not even realising theur mistakes . The time when they should be guilty they are cursing and confused about how they should feel. They are still blind to see the happiness in manik's life and are jealous. This is what they meant by true friendship...each others family more than friends when they had asked manik to leave nandini and were calling her by all sorts bad names.
But see god showed the reality
Because it's nandini who healed manik and fab3 who hurt him beyond repair.

Pov ends

Manik smilingly : okay...

He looks towards nandini and smiles at her and she in return smiles back. She rests her head on his chest and he wraps his hands around her shoulder taking her into his arms and starts telling about them.

Flashback

Manik's pov

So that day when we left the green room, I was broken and shattered. I was not in a state of mind to take any decision on what should I do ahead. I knew only one thing that whatever decision I will take today I have nandini by my side and also that my decision will have a great effect on both our lives so I need to be wise and as said by nandini calm and in better state to take it rather than that shattered and hurt "lonely friend".

( he says this part and by the corner of his eyes looks at fab 3 only to see their heads down.
But throughout the time he was narrating he had a genuine smile without any hurt feelings indicating it didn't matter him any more... what they feel or wish while cabir was expressionless he was hurt for manik and angry on fab3 so he stood expressionless. )

Just then I got a call from dad.

M dad: hello son..

Manik ( low voice): hello dad

M dad: manik what happened child why r u sounding so low? Did something happen? Did nyonika do something? ? Manik say something? ??

Manik chuckles seeing his dad's concern: dad if you will only then will I be able to speak .

Mdad(worried tone) : okay so speak..

Manik : dad I m okay .. u called so late dad.
Mdad : yes you were saying the other day you want to tell me something related to nyonika and you are coming to pune...

Manik suddenly remembered nyonika and harshad sleeping together and says(in little louder tone) : yes dad I will be leaving mumbai by night and then I will tell you and I also need to talk to you about something.

Mdad : okay come soon and safe and yes you will also have to tell me about my future daughter-in-law ... What's her name ..... yes nandini.... right??

As the phone was on Speaker on listening future daughter in law she blushes profusely while manik has a shy smile which soon turns into smirk seeing nandini all red..

Manik : yes dad I was going to tell you about that only. okay dad see you soon.
Bye

Mdad bye.

Manik cuts the call and looks at nandini who was looking at him with confusion as to what was going in his mind.

Manik : nandini I will visit dad and asks about his opinion and also I will talk about you and then decide what I should do next. Should I join buisnesss here or somewhere else.

Nandini : manik buisness you are leaving music. And what do you mean by somewhere else. U will leave me? (Says the last part in a crying voice)

Manik immediately hugs nandini and says: no nandini you know I can never leave you whatever situation may come. You are my life, my love, my strength, my everything . How can I think of leaving you dear!!!! U know na I love you so now stop crying and block all these negative thoughts. And about buisness thing so about that, nandini music has only taken things from me and broken me and hurt me now I have only you and I cannot afford to lose you.. and in future I don't know if I would sing or not for now I will only sing for you in private but not anywhere else.

Nandini by listening his answers understood the depth of his pain and considered it better to not to remind him and rather she should heal him and again make him the happy sweet smiling manik.

Nan: so let me pack your bag as you are leaving for pune..and haan tell me when r u coming back so that I know how many clothes I should pack.

Man(chuckles listening nandini) : i will return by evening and now as you r packing my bag will take rest saying this he jumps on the bed.

Nandini knew he is trying to show himself strong and okay but she knew him inside out to know. When he is faking and. When he is okay..

Seeing nandini lost in thoughts manik calls her.

Man : nandini where r u lost I m calling you for third time.

Nan : nowhere why were you calling me..

Man (teasingly) : nandini don't you think you are acting like my wife like packing my bags and ordering and asking me all the questions and giving me list of instructions of do's anddon'ts like when will you be back drive safe etc..!! & all

Its not that I mind it infact I m loving it but I think I better make you my wife early..see I can rest whole day and you will do my work, care for me, love me and will always be with me and not leave me alone...

(By ending manik's voice became low remembering fab5)

So divert his attention

Nandini(with angry pout) : manik you are very bad ek toh I m helping you and here you are teasing me and not even helping me... go I m not packing .. and you want to make me your wife so that you will not have to work manik you are very mean.

Man( immediately gets up and sits in sitting position on bed and pulls nandini in his lap): aree no i want marry because I love you and I can't live without you..and for teasing you sorry seee I m holding my both ears but please pack my bag..( he said making a cute face which melted nandini's heart seeing nandini smile he pecks her forehead and nose)

By late night manik left for pune and nandini went back home after a very bad day or say the worst nightmare. She told chacha chachi about breaking of fab5 but not what they said about her being characterless and all as she did not want to ruin their image. She just said that they broke due to misunderstandings and insecurities.

And fab3 were accusing this girl for being selfish manipulative characterless and what not on the other side this selfless girl was just lying to protect their reputation and praying for them rather than cursing...)

Manik reached pune by early morning . He went directly to his room freshened up and joined his dad at the breakfast.

(Manik's dad - Mr. Raj Malhotra)

Man : good morning dad

Raj : good morning manik.. when did you reach.

Man : just an hour back. How's your health?? What are doctors reports about your health.

Raj( chucles and says the last part laughingly) : I m fit and fine even more fit than you.. just look at you, you are looking old day by day.

Mani( rolls his eyes at raj and says sarcastically) :ya ya dad you are looking a teenager of 17. Right .

They completed their breakfast which took a little long time as both father son are big time foodies punjabi genes like father like son ...

They moved towards the home office to talk. Manik tells raj everything about nyonika and raj assures him that now he will make sure that he no longer will have to entertain her. He immediately calls his pa make appropriate contractand make strict action against nyonika..

M dad(excitedly while rubbing his hands i excitement):Leave her she is b***h, you tell me about my future daughter-in-law.

With the mention of daughter-in-law manik blushes slightly and seeing him blushing raj laughs loudly .
M dad : OMG !!! Manik you are blushing look at your face I need to meet her soon..
