Manik was sitting on his bed. His ear was red. He was fuming in anger. He was little bit embarrassed also. But he was more angry. Angry on himself and of course on Nandini. Manik picked his phone and went to phone book. He dailed Nandini's number. But someone took the phone from Manik's hand.

Manik:- What the!!

Manik looked at the person and saw others also in his room. Abhi took his phone and cut the call.

Manik:- Why you cut the call? I need to talk to her.

Abhi rolled his eyes and pass the phone to Cabir. He sat in front of Manik and others place themselves on bed or bean bag or on floor.

Abhi:- If you talk to her now you will vomit all your anger on that poor girl. So don't ruined the situation which is already ruined.

Cabir:- I agree with him.

Abhi:- Manik she is not your girlfriend and you have no rights on her. Where she goes with whom. She is not answerable to you.

Cabir:- Of course. Even I am Navya's boyfriend. Doesn't mean I can stop her from meeting new people or her friends.

Manik looked at him angrily and threw a pillow at him. It's hit on his face. Arya laughed and Cabir threw the pillow on Arya's face. His laugh died down. Cabir started laughing. Cabir and Arya started fighting. Manik ignored them.

Manik:- But you know how Sid is. He doesn't have good intentions towards her.

Dhruv stopped Cabir and Arya's fight.

Dhruv:- Yeah like only you are the only good guy in her life. Harsad, Sid they both are not good for her.

Manik was annoyed listening Harsad's name.

Manik:- Yes, you have problem.

Manik glanced at him. Dhruv surrender himself rising his both hand. Abhi kept his hand on his shoulder.

Abhi:- Manik you can't hold her without any rights. Still there is time. Before everything messed up fix everything with her. The way everything is going on. If one day Nandini except Sid's proposal I won't be surprised.

Manik with a jerk looked at Abhi. Arya raised his one hand.

Arya:- Even me too. Sid is very clever. He have the charms to make any girl fall for him.

Others nodded their head excluding Manik.

Cabir:- You should be more open with your feelings. If you want Nandini in your life.

Dhruv:- We are here always with you.

Abhi:- Think before it's too late. She have many options who are much better than you.

Cabir:- She is free spirt. She can go with anyone and she knows what she is doing. She is not more stupid than Arya.

Arya become angry.

Arya:- How dare you compare her with me. I don't think she is more stupid than me.

Others trying there best not to laugh. Manik just smiled.

Dhruv:- Yes she is less stupid than you.

Arya:- No no I think I am more stupid than her.

Cabir:- Yes you are.

All couldn't hold their laugh anymore. They started laughing. Arya reversed all those words in his mind again and he got now. He made fool of himself.

Arya:- I am not talking to you guys.

He got up from his place and laid down on bed. Cabir got up and jumped on Arya. Arya groaned in pain. Dhruv also jumped on them. Then Abhi and at the end Manik.

Arya(Shout):- Someone save me. I can't breathe.

Abhi:- Are you still angry?

Arya(shout):- No no.

Manik:- Still not talking to us?

Arya(shout):- No... Move guys. Auntyyyyyy save me.

All got up from him. They laid down on bed. One bed was not fit for 5 people. They squeezed themselves on the bed all together.

Cabir:- We used to fit in this bed perfectly in our childhood.

Abhi:- Idiot we are not children anymore.

They somehow fit themselves on the bed. Manik's arms and legs falling out of the bed. Other side Dhruv's arms and legs falling out of the bed. But still they want to sleep on that bed only.

Alia called Mukti and Navya. She told them to come earlier at Nandini's place. As per the plan Alia, Mukti and Navya came little bit earlier than their usual time at Nandini's home at morning. They entered her room on their tiptoe. Nandini was still sleeping. Alia took Nandini's phone from side table and turned off alarm.

Mukti:- Why are we here this time?

Mukti talked little loud. Alia shused her.

Mukt(Whisper) :- Why are we here this time?

Navya was still sleepy. She was dozing off on the couch. Suddenly she got up.

Navya:- I have the same question.

Both Alia and Mukti shused her this time.

Alia(whisper):- Because I am going to give Bhai(Brother) a heart attack.

Alia had a evil smirk. Mukti and Navya were confused.

Mukti(Whisper):- I smell so much trouble. Do you know about whom you are talking about?

Alia behaved like it's not a big deal.

Alia(Whisper) :- Of course it's my Bhai(Brother).

Navya(Whisper) :- Do you know if something go out of the syllabus what will happen to us?

Alia(Whisper) :- Leave it all to me.

Mukti(Whisper) :- Fine. What's your plan?

Alia took out a plastic pipe from her bag.

Mukti(Whisper) :- From where you get that?

Navya:- That's not the important question. What will you do with it?

Nandini moved a little in her sleep. All were stone on their place. Then Nandini went back to her sleep. Both Mukti and Alia glanced at Navya. Navya gave a sorry smile. Navya invisibly zip her mouth.

Alia point one mouth of pipe on Nandini's skin around her neck and one mouth in her mouth and stuck on it. Nandini felt a little pain and moved in her sleep. Alia immediately removed the pipe. But the work was already done. A spot on her neck was red. If you don't look at it carefully you would think it's a hickey.

Mukti(Whisper) :- What have you done! Before Manik, Nandini will kill us.

Alia(Whisper) :- We will see it later. But I want to make Bhai(Brother) feel that he lost Nandini. He need a solid kick to go forward other than jealousy.

Navya(Whisper) :- Today volcano will blast.

Alia(Whisper) :- That's the idea.

Then they all waited for a time when it would be almost college time. So that in hurry Nandini couldn't cheak the mirror properly. On time they woke up Nandini. Nandini was shocked to see she overslept. So as per the plan Nandini got ready in hurry and they left for college.

They have morning classes. So after back to back 2 class they got free. None of them had breakfast. So they went to canteen to at last had something to fill their angry stomach. Eagles were there only. Manik and Abhi were doing some paper work on laptop. It's their assignment. Others were just chilling. Cabir noticed Nandini and her friends.

Cabir:- Navya!!

Navya seeing Cabir forget everything and run into his arms. Cabir hugged her happy. Then they broke the hug and Cabir kissed her forehead.

Cabir:- I missed you my girl.

Navya was all blushy blushy.

Navya(Low voice) :- I missed you too.

Cabir heard her but thought to tease her.

Cabir:- I didn't hear.

Navya slapped his chest and showed him her eyes.

Navya:- Cabir!

Cabir laughed. Arya and Dhruv was just chewing their food looking at the lovely drama in front of their eyes. Abhi's focus also on them now. Manik was typing on laptop.

Arya(Sighed) :- I wish I have a girlfriend.

Dhruv eyed Alia. Alia also looking at him. She gave him a bright smile. With Navya her friends also came  to Eagle's table. Nandini didn't want to come but still she did. Cabir side hugged Navya keeping his arms around her waist. He looked at others.

Cabir:- Hi girls.

Alia & Mukti:- Hello Cabir.

Cabir:- Hi Nandini.

Manik who was not at all interested around him. Now took a quick look at Nandini.

Nandini:- Hi Cabir.

Cabir:- How was you Date yesterday?

Manik stopped typing. Nandini was confused.

Nandini:- I didn't had any date yesterday.

Cabir:- But you went out with Sid yesterday.

Nandini:- Yeah but it was just to show him around. That's it. It's not a date.

Cabir smiled.

Cabir:- That's a relief.

Cabir took a quick look at Manik who was again on laptop. Cabir looked at Nandini again suddenly his smile died down.

Cabir(Shout) :- What the hell!

Cabir shout so loudly that Navya also got scared. Cabir's hold on Navya got hard. He was angry. Seeing Cabir angry others also get alert. Arya, Dhruv and Abhi got up from their sit. Manik looked at Cabir and saw him looking at Nandini. Manik got up from his sit and followed his eyes. He eyes got hard.

Manik came to Nandini with big steps. Nandini was scared. Nandini was backing away from him. But Manik held her hand and pulled her towards him. Whole canteen was quite. Even if a pin fall it will make sound. Abhi was tensed. He soon came behind Manik.

Manik moved Nandini's hair from side of her neck for a better look. Nandini was hell scared. Because Manik's that look was new to her. Manik was looking dangerous now. Like he would kill anyone if they make a single sound. Manik rubbed at spot to clear himself it's not some lipstick or any foundation. But it didn't fade away. Nandini hissed herself in pain. Manik looked into Nandini's eyes.

Manik:- Who did this?

Nandini was confused.

Manik:- I am asking you something Nandini. Who did this.

Manik's voice was dangerously low which could gave anybody chill their spine. Abhi held Manik's shoulder.

Abhi:- Manik you are scaring her.

Alia was shocked to move. She never saw him like this. Navya also shocked to see Cabir angry. Cabir was clam person. He didn't get angry easily. If he was angry than situation was out of their hand. They did a big mistake.

Manik:- I am going to kill that b****d.

Manik leave Nandini and left from there to find Sidharth.

Abhi:- Manik!

Abhi run after Manik. Arya and Dhruv also. Cabir came to Nandini.

Cabir:- Nandini why you have hickey on your neck.

Nandini:- I what?

Nandini was shocked. She took out a hand mirror from her bag and saw properly on the mirror. She saw the hickey. She was more shocked.

Nandini:- How this happened?

Cabir was confused.

Cabir:- You don't know about it?

Nandini was examining the spot.

Nandini:- No it was not here last night.

Navya:- Cabir!

Cabir looked at Navya. Navya, Alia and Mukti felt nervous. Cabir felt something fishy.

Cabir:- What you guys did?

Alia:- Cabir, we made this hickey on her neck by pipe.

Cabir slapped his hand on his forehead. Nandini was shocked.

Nandini:- You guys did this?!

Cabir:- What have you done! Do you guys have any idea. Now world war 3 will start.

Cabir run from there. Girls also went after him. When they found Manik. It was too late. Manik and Sidharth were fighting. Sidharth had more blood on his face. Abhi, Arya and Dhruv they didn't even trying to stop them.

Manik:- Why did you touched her?

Manik threw a punch. It hit Sidharth's left cheak. Cabir run towards others and explain everything to Abhi, Arya and Dhruv.

Sid:- I can do anything I want. She is none to you. Why do you care?

Manik again punch Sidharth. He fall on the ground. Manik sat on him and started punching him more and more.

Manik:- Because I love her. She is mine. Only mine.

Sidharth smirked in blood. Others were shocked. Nandini was root on her spot.

That's for today. So what will Nandini do? What will Manik do? How is Manik's confession? What will be Sidharth's next move? Any idea? Please share your viewers by comments and votes.
