IN THE COLLEGE:

IN THE CORRIDOR:

(Manik, Cabir and Mukti came to the corridor and were all calm by now. Suddenly Cabir realised something and asked Manik.)

C: Manik, humne teachers ko toh samjha diya h, par students ka kya? I mean, agar kisi student ne doll ko kuch kaha toh? (Manik smiled widely listening to it and cabir and mukti frowned.)

MU: Tu smile kyun kar raha h? Tere dimag mein kuch chal raha h kya?

M: Guys, shayad tum ye bhul rahe ho ki vo Nandini Murthy h. Vo Nandini jisne fab5 ko sidha kar diya, jo fab5 se bilkul bhi nhi dari, jisne fab5 ke khilaf awaaz uthai. Jab vo humse nhi dari, toh koi aur usse kaise dara sakta h because fab5 se zyada toh koi torture kar hi nhi sakta. I know that she can manage them.. Aur vaise bhi hum sab toh yahan honge hi uske saath college mein, toh hamare hote huye yahan usse koi kuch nhi keh sakta aur class mein she can manage aur agar fir bhi koi problem hui, toh hum sab yahin hain uske paas.. (Manik said all this smiling proudly while thinking of his angel, his nandini that how she stood against them. Cabir and Mukti also realised this and smiled widely.)

MU: Yes, you are right.. Chotti mein guts toh hain varna hamare saamne koi khada hone ke bare mein soch bhi nhi sakta tha and she not only stood in front of us but also fight back with us... (Manik smiled proudly.)

C: Yes, meri doll jo h... (He said proudly and Manik and Mukti nodded their head in disbelief ki iska kuch nhi ho sakta, saara credit khud hi liye ja raha h.. )

M: Teri doll hone ke saath-saath vo meri angel bhi h..

MU: Aur meri chotti bhi...

C: Acha okay.. ladh kyun rahe ho.. (They all chuckled.)

MU: Yr.. par jab chotti hamare against khadi ho sakti h, toh usne uss professor ko kuch kyun nhi bola jabki usse pata that ki vo professor galat tha..

M: Mukti, vo Nandini h.. usse pata tha ki professor galat h but she did't say anything because professor is elder than her and he is her teacher and she respects him as a student.. bas isilye vo chup rahi... 

MU: Par ye toh galat h na? Agar vo bada hai, iske matlab ye nhi ki chotti chup-chap sunti rahegi uski har galat baat..

C: Arey, meri lady bheem.. usne isliye kuch nhi bola kyunki uski nazar mein ye baat koi zyada badi nhi thi... agar koi badi baat hoti, toh vo zarur argue karti professor se.. 

M: Correct.. Par vo shayad ye bhul gayi thi ki ye hamare liye bhut badi baat thi... (They were going to talk more but their phone beeped with a message and they checked it and it was a video of the professor. Manik became angry seeing this.)

M: Cabir, what is this? Maine tujhe kaha tha na ki hum baad mein decide karenge ki ye video leak karni h ya nhi, fir tune kyun ki?

C: Oye, mere angry hulk, shaant ho ja.. Ye maine nhi kiya.. M kab se tere saath hi toh khada hoon.. (Manik frowned to it.)

MU: Toh fir ye kisne kiya hoga?

C: Zarur, uss professor se koi aur professor jalta hoga, isliye usne ye kar diya hoga... (Manik became angry.)

M: Pata laga kisne kiya h... M chodunga nhi usse jisne bhi ye leak ki hogi.. (Now he was scared because he doesn't want his angel to feel sad.) Agar angel ne ye video dekh li toh? 

MU: Manik, it's okay.. relax.. Chotti, ye video nhi dekhegi.. i know that.. she is not interested in these stuff.. (Manik was still not sure.)

M: Are you sure? Because m nhi chahta ki bahar ka koi person iss video ko dekhe, kyunki agar uss professor ki bahar insult hui aur angel ko pata chala, toh vo khud ko guilty maanegi...

C: Manik, chill, iss video mein vaise bhi uss professor ka face clear nhi dikh raha h because of that handkerchief.. so, kisi ko pata nhi chalega except our college students...  (Manik was still confused.)

M: Vo sab toh thk h cabir, par angel ko pata chala toh?

C: Don't worry.. we'll try to make sure ki angel ye video na dekh paye...

M: Hmmm...  (They were going to talk more but the bell rang indicating the lecture is over and nandini can come any time.) (Manik became happy and excited to meet his angel.)

M: Guys.. Chalo.. angel aati hi hogi. Humne usse parking lot mein wait karne ke liye kaha tha... Chalo... (Mukti thought to tease Manik.)

MU: Manik, tu toh hamesha hi chotti se milne ke liye desperate rehta h... (Manik desperately wanted to meet Nandini, so, he put all their teasing into drain.)

M: Haan.. rehta hoon.. ab khush.. ab chalo.. (With this, he started moving towards his car smilingly and mukti and cabir followed him with an '0' face that their teasing session got wasted so efficiently by manik.)

IN THE PARKING AREA:

(They came to the parking area and nandini came from the other side. She came towards them and waves them hi.. they hugged her one by one.. At last manik came to hug her and she hugged him back and then they broke the hug and manik cupped her face.)

M: Angel, you okay? Kisi ne tang toh nhi kia? (Nandini smiled at his concern.)

N: Yes Mani, i am totally fine. (Manik smiled listening to it and kissed her forehead. Nandini gave him her beautiful smile.)

N: Vo guys, Can i ask you something? Ek chotta sa favour chahiye tha... (Nandini said all this hesitantly.)

M: Angel, you are my princess.. you have to just order... and your every wish is my command.. (Nandini smiled widely listening to it.)

C: Haan doll. Manik is right, bol kya kehna h tujhe?

N: Vo guys.. can navya come with us? Vo maine usse bola ki tum sab aj mere saath ja rahe ho mere ghar, toh usne kaha ki vo bhi chale.. actually uska bhut mann h chachi se milne ka.. toh..

M: Arey, toh isme poochne wali kya baat h, tum usse khud hi haan kar deti, hum mana thodi karte..

MU: Chotti.. jaise teri har cheez par hamara haq h, thk ussi tarah hamari bhi har cheez par tera pura haq h.. Tu koi bhi decision le sakti h, hum kabhi tere against nhi jayenge..

C: Bilkul sahi.. (Nandini smiled widely listening to all this.)

M: Angel, tumhe kuch bhi karne se pehle hamari permission lene ki koi zarurat nhi h.. infact, agar tum hamari life ke bhi decisions logi, toh bhi hum chup-chap usse follow karenge... Kyun guys?

C: Bilkul.. ye bhi koi poochne ki baat h.. (Nandini smiled widely realising how much she means to all of them.)

MU: Arey, vaise ye navya h kahan? (Navya was standing at a little distance from them, so nandini called her near them.)

N: Navya, tum hamare saath chal sakti ho...

NA: Sachhi? (Nandini nodded her head. Navya smiled widely, she turned to fab5.) Thanku guys.

MU: Navya, you don't have to be.. tum chotti ki friend ho, toh hamari bhi friend ho.. so, don't hesitate.. (Navya smiled to it and they all sat in the car. Manik at the driving seat, cabir at the passenger seat, nandini, mukti and navya in a row at the middle seat. As nandini was sitting behind manik, he arranges the mirror to get a clear view of nandini, nandini noticed it and blushed and manik smiled seeing her blushing. Then, they started their journey.)

IN THE MANIK'S CAR:

(They were talking in the car, teasing each other, pulling each other's leg and nandini too was normal now in their company.. and manik was happy that now nandini is normal and is smiling but somewhere, he knew that she is trying to hide something from them and he is all adamant to know about it.. They were giggling on something that navya's phone beeped. She opened her phone and it was the video of the professor.. by seeing it, her mouth was wide-open.)

NA: Hey matarani!! (She said it in a loud voice and they all looked towards her that what happened to her suddenly. Nandini became worried.)

N: Navu, kya hua? Is everything okay?

NA: Nandu.. vo jo hamare professor hain na...  (Nandini became confused and our fab5 got stiffened listening to it.. they litearlly got scared that what if nandini comes to know about it.. they look towards each other.)

N: Kaunse professor Navya? Kinki baat kar rahi ho? (Cabir somehow got his sense back and told others that he will handle it.)

NA: Vo professor Ra..... (Before navya could took professor's name, cabir interrupted her.)

C: Kya yr.. jab dekho tum dono padhai ki baatein karti rehti ho... abhi college mein padhkar aayi ho na.. toh ab no talk about college and studies..

NA: Arey, par meri baat toh suno...

C: No.. means no..

N: Par bhai, usse bolne toh do..

C: Doll, please na.. No talks about studies.. Tum log thakti nhi ho ye padhai ki baatein kar-karke. 

NA: Par?

C: Ab ek aur shabad nhi padhai ke bare mein.. Please Doll... (Nandini agreed seeing him pleading.)

N: Acha okay.. we will not talk about it.. Rehne do navya.. (Fab5 released the breath which they were holding unknowingly.. Though, they are not scared because they haven't done anything wrong in their view but they were well aware of nandini's reaction that she will feel guilty or may become angry with them.. and they can't let their jaan feel guilty of anything for which she is not.. So, they were scared. This is the magic of nandini.. fab5 jo kisi se nhi darta, aj vo iss baat se darr raha h ki kahin unki jaan khud ko guilty na samajh baithe ya fir unse naraaz na ho jaye.. this is the power of love.) (They again started talking and this time nandini's phone beeped, they again became silent thinking that if nandini check it, then, what will happen but to their good luck.... nandini checked the notification and put it back and they sighed in relief.. par fab5 kuch kare aur unki jaan ko pata na chale.. ye kaise ho sakta h... and navya ji ke hote hue toh bilkul bhi possible nhi h.. )

NA: Nandu.. tumhara phone baja, check toh karo kiska message h? (Fab5 cursed navya under their breath: Ye pagal ho gayi h kya? Pacca marwayegi hamein...)

N: Nhi navu.. kisi unknown number se koi video aayi h.. 

NA: Arey.. toh check toh kar...

N: Chod na.. kya farq padta h... vaise bhi mujhe in sab cheezon ka shownk nhi h.. (Mukti gave cabir and manik a look as if saying that: i told you that she won't see as she doesn't care about these videos.. and manik and cabir gave her an: i am impressed look in return.) (Par navya ke hote hue, their secret can't be hidden for long.)

NA: Arey dekh toh sahi... 

C(to himself): Aj ye pacca marwayegi..., Mujhe hi kuch karna padega...

C: Navya chodo na.. Agar usse nhi dekhni h video.. toh let it be.. usse force kyun kar rahi ho..

NA: Arey par...

MU: Haan navya.. agar chotti ka mann nhi h, toh rehne do..

NA: Par meri baat toh suno...

N: Chodo na navya... Itni bhi kaunsa important video hogi koi...

NA: Arey, pacca vo professor rakesh ki video hogi.. (Nandini frowned to it.. and all other members of fab5 hit their forehead.)

N: Unki kaunsi video?

C: Doll, chod na.. aisi hi koi video hogi.. chod...

M: Haan.. haan.. angel.. aisi hi koi video hogi.. Rehne do.. (Both Manik and Cabir tried their best to stop Nandini from seeing the video but navya ke hote hue ye kaise possible h..)

NA: Arey nhi, unhe kisi ne bully kia.. uski video h.. (Fab5 looked towards each other and said through eyes: Ab toh pacca gaye... and nandini had her eyes wide open.)

N: What?

NA: Haan.. hum tabse yahi kehne ki toh koshish kar rahe hain.. par tum sab sunn hi nhi rahe ho.. (Nandini immediately opened her phone and saw the video.. and here fab5 were like that now, they are gone.. but they forgot that nandini love them too much to have any doubt on them. By seeing the video, nandini's eyes were wide open and she has her hand over her mouth.)

N: Aiyappa, ye kisne kiya? Koi aisa kaise kar sakta h?

NA: Hai na? Koi kisi professor ko kaise bully kar sakta h?

N: Haan navya.. kitna bura hua na unke saath? Pata nhi kisne kiya hoga? Bhai? (Fab5 got scared.)

C: Haan.. haan.. doll.. (Cabir started stammering thinking that nandini has caught them.)

N: Apne ye video dekha? Koi kaise kar sakta h kisi ke saath aise? (Fab5 were shocked, surprised, stunned, what not that that their jaan not for once doubted on them because she trusted them so much and they feel bad that they are breaking her trust but whatever they are doing is to keep nandini away from the guilt, so, they thought it to be right.)

N: Kahan kho gaye bhai?

C: Nhi, kahin nhi doll.. Vo.. Vo.. haan, ye video.. kaunsa video? Humne nhi dekha. Haina manik? Haina mukti? (They nodded their head saying that they haven't seen it. Though they were feeling bad for lying to their jaan but they have to do it for keeping her away from pain and for them, her happiness matters the most.) (Then, nandini show them the video, they were not guilty for what they have done and they didn't felt bad for the professor but in front of nandini they said that it's really bad.. , how can someone do something like this and all... Then, somehow cabir chuck this topic. Now, there is complete silence in the car. Manik saw nandini from the mirror and saw that she was quiet and thinking about something. Ab Manik toh nandini ka soulmate h, toh usse kaise nhi pata hoga ki uski jaan ke dimag mein kya chal raha h. So, he immediately messaged cabir and indicate him to see his mobile.)

Manik's message to Cabir:

"Nandini chup baithi h and i am sure vo ussi bare mein soch rahi hogi. Usse baaton mein uljha, nhi toh usse pacca doubt ho jayega ki ye sab humne kiya h aur fir vo ye baat confirm kar hi legi kisi tarah. Usse distract kar." 

(Cabir read the message and looked towards Nandini and saw her lost in thinking and he immediately nodded to manik but before he could say something, nandini dropped the bomb on them. Manik was right because his jaan was thinking about that only and now she have joined all the dots and dropped the bomb on them. Her eyes were wide open as she joined the dots.)

N: Ek minute.. ek minute.. Kahin ye sab tum logon ne toh nhi kiya? (They saw towards each other and gulped their saliva thinking what to say now but to their good luck and to their surprise, navya spoke in their favour.)

NA: Nandu, ye kya keh rahi ho tum? Bhala, ye log professor sir ko bully kyun karenge? (Fab5 who were earlier cursing navya were now thanking her in their minds.)

N: Nhi, aj jo hua.. uske baad sir ko ye log bully kar sakte hain. Sach sach batao? (Cabir gathered some courage.)

C: Arey doll..., hum.. hum... aisa kyun karenge.... Hum toh vo baat bhul bhi gaye the... (Though cabir had gathered his courage but he was still stammering.) Hai na guys? (Both Manik and Mukti immediately nodded their head in a yes as an obedient child and nandini believed them.)

N: Acha.. Pata nhi fir kisne kiya hoga ye sab? (They sighed in relief but to their bad luck, navya again brought up the topic and they again cursed her and were feeling like banging their head because they were not getting that why navya is so much against them, one time she favours them, then, the next moment she was all ready to bang their heads. They thought: Yr.. ye navya kis janam ka badla le rahi h humse..)

NA: Par hua kya tha aisa nandu? (Though cabir tried to speak something but before that nandini started narrating everything to navya and she told her the full story and after that, even navya became angry.)

NA: Kya? Aisa kiya vo professor ne? Fir toh bilkul thk hua jo bhi hua uske saath... (Fab5 smiled that navya is on their side.)

N: Nhi navu, thk h unhone mujhe daanta vo galat tha.. par fir bhi... ye nhi hona chaiye tha unke saath... (But Navya is still angry.)

NA: Nhi nandu.. bilkul thk hua unke saath... vo bina kisi baat ke tumhe kaise daant sakte hain.. (Cabir and mukti got excited that navya is taking their side.) Ap sab ne bilkul thk kia.. Cabir, tum logon ne bilkul thk kia. (Cabir got more excited.)

C: Hai na navya? Main toh keh hi raha tha ki humne jo kia bilkul thk kia. Uss professor ko toh ye sabak milna hi chahiye tha.. (Manik and mukti's eyes were wide open, they tried to stop cabir but he didn't saw them.) (Nandini's eyes were wide open.)

NA: Haan cabir, bilkul thk hua jo bhi hua. Vaise tum logon ne isse pehle bhi ye sab kiya h? Hamein batao na ki tumne aur kya kya kia h? (Navya became excited to know their stories of bullying people which excited cabir more.)

C: Nhi navya, ye hamara first time tha ek professor ke saath.. Aj se pehle kisi professor ka humne lecture lagaya hi nhi, toh unhe tang kaise karte. Kyun guys?(Cabir looked towards manik and mukti and they were shooting daggers at him and then, cabir realised that what he said and his eyes opened wide and he looked towards nandini who became very angry and more than angry, she was guilty, her eyes became moist. Manik saw it and he immediately stopped his car at the side. Manik immediately turned on his seat facing nandini. Cabir looked towards navya with angry expression and navya became scared but she didn't knew why he is looking towards her with anger as she hasn't seen nandini's moist eyes till now and by the time, nandini started crying.)

M: Angel, please stop crying.. Please... (Manik tried to cup her face and wiped her tears but she didn't let him do that.)

N: Tumne ye sab meri vajah se kia? Kyun guys, maine tumhe mana kiya tha na? (She shouted on them.)

C: Doll, we are sorry.. Par hum uss professor ko aise kaise chod dete... Please ro mat..

MU: Haan chotti.. he deserved that... Please, rona band kar.. Please...

M: Haan angel, we are sorry but please don't do this.. Please don't be angry with us.. Please don't cry...

N: Nhi, tumne ye sab meri vajah se kiya aur vo bhi first time meri vajah se tumne kisi professor ko bully kiya... Kyun guys? Kyun? (She started crying more and cabir looked towards navya with more anger and she said sorry because now, she knew what mistake she has done.)

M: Please angel.. Please chup ho jao.. Isme tumhari koi galti nhi h, humne jo kiya, apni marzi se kiya.. jo hamein thk laga, vo kiya humne.. Please.. don't be guilty.. please don't cry.. please..

C: Haan doll.. aur rahi baat pehle kisi professor ko tang karne ki toh vo toh isliye kyunki humne aj se pehle unka koi lecture lagaya hi nhi, isliye unhone hamein kabhi kuch bola hi nhi.

MU: Please chotti.. tu aise ro mat.. iss mein teri koi galti nhi h...

N: Nhi, ye sab meri vajah se hua h.. meri vajah se first time tum logon ne kisi professor ki insult ki... meri vajah se tumne ek professor ko bully kiya.. (Fab5 were trying to make her understand that it's not her fault but she keep on denying them but her next statement made them hell angry and they shouted on her.) 

N: Isse accha toh yahi hota ki m tum sab ki life mein kabhi aati hi nhi.. toh tum kabhi kisi professor ki insult toh nhi karte... meri vajah se... (She was going to say further but their shout on her stopped her from saying further.) 

M, MU, C:  Angel! Chotti! Doll! (Seeing their angry face and hearing their shout on her, nandini realised that what she said and she look into their eyes which were spitting fire. She cursed herself that why she said that when she knew what she means to them. Manik became so much angry that he turned on his seat and sat properly and started driving the car trying to not burst on nandini. Infact, cabir and mukti too were trying to calm them down because they don't want to shout on her. Nandini tried talking to them but they turned their face.)

(Nandini knew that she was at fault.. so, she again called cabir and mukti because she knew manik will not melt easily because for manik, nandini is his whole world and what nandini said today has scared the hell out of him. Not only him, mukti and cabir were also hurt. Nandini is their full family, their full world.. Earlier, they didn't knew the meaning of love, family, happiness, care but nandini taught them and gave them their much needed peace, so, how can she even say that she wouldn't have come in their lives..)

(And for manik, nandini is his whole world, she is his life, his jaan, he couldn't even imagine a single second without her, he didn't want to take even a breath if his nandini is not with him. He not only wanted to live his childhood with nandini but also wanted to experience each and every moment with her, live his whole life with her, infact, he has dreamt a beautiful future with her, now she is the reason of his every breath, every heartbeat, even of the existence of his life.. then, how can she even say something like that. Manik was hell angry but more than anger, he was scared, scared to even imagine a second of his life without nandini. He realised that even the thought of nandini not being with him, took his breath away and scared him to the death and he didn't want to experience it ever in his life. Nandini is the sole reason of his existence as he loves her to no limit, he loves her that much that he himself didn't know the limit... Nandini is his life and he can't live without her not even for a second... it is the sole truth of Manik's whole life. Manik's whole existence now depends on Nandini only.)
