Hello Fam. Happy Reading. :)

Abhi(emotionally): Mukti, everyone agreed. Look, if you want to break-up with me now, just say it.

Everyone gets confused except Manik and Nandu who tried hard not to facepalm themselves.

Mukti(gritting her teeth): Abhimanyu, what the hell are you speaking? Why would I break up with you that too when everyone agreed.

Cabir(fake sadly): Tere pyar ka phal. Dekh ladka abhi se apni maansik santulan kho baitha. My sympathies are with you bro.

Abhi(gritting his teeth): Cabir, I am serious yaar. (stammered) Mukti, yesterday in my cabin. Look there's nothing between me and Soha. She was just..

Mukti(cooed): Abhimanyu, I heard everything yesterday. I was so happy I was there. I just realized there's no one who would love me as much as you do. I am sorry for not trusting you all this while.

Abhi(cupping her face): Mukti, you don't need to be sorry for anything. I love you for who you are and for everything that's connected with you. Be it your past, your thoughts, and our future.

She smiled through her tears and hugged him tightly. Breaking the hug, she rests her forehead on his.

Mukti(smiled): I love you.

They hear someone sniffing and turned towards the source. They found Cabir sniffing.

Manik(frowned): Cabir, why are you crying?

Cabir(sheepishly): Yaar itne pyar se mann bhar gaya. Ab pet ki bari. Breakfast karte hai na.

Abhi(pissed): Bhai, yeh meri life ka sawal hai yaar. Aur tu ab bhi mazak kar raha hai?

Cabir(seriously): Dekh bhai. Do din toh rehna hai tujhe Mukti ke saath.

Abhi(bewildered): Uske baad?

Cabir(teased): Uske baad yeh tujhe punch maar maar kar behosh kardegi. Phir hospital toh maine hi le jana hai. I need strength bro. Chal khate hai.

Mukti(screamed): kamine, ab tu punch khayega mere haath.

And she ran behind him. Everyone nods their head in disbelief. They all go to have breakfast. All this while, Nandu too had tears brimmed in her eyes which was noticed by Manik and Abhimanyu. While Abhimanyu turned back to talk to her, Manik didn't leave her side and took her into a side hug, smiling at her. Seeing Abhimanyu, he broke the hug while Abhimanyu smiles at Manik for handling Nandu.

Abhi(excited): babydoll, Mukti maan gayi.

Nandu(chuckles emotionally): I know bhai. Aur aap kitna worried the. Puri raat soye bhi nahi aap.

Abhi(thinking hard): Arey main bhool gaya. Mujhe sona bhi hai.

Manik and Nandu burst out laughing at him. Abhimanyu hugs Nandu and the trio leave for breakfast. Seeing them Cabir asked,

Cabir(sarcastically): Tum teeno kya shadi ki card decide kar rahe the?

Manik(smirked): Cabir tujhe shadi karni hai? Ladki dekh li tune?

Cabir pleaded Manik to not to say anything as Navya was present. They were having breakfast when Cabir asked Manik.

Cabir(questioned): Manik, tujhe kya pehle se pata tha Mukti aur Abhimanyu ke bare mein?

Mukti and Abhimanyu got alerted listening to the question.

Mukti(surprised): Haan Manik. You reacted all strange. Mujhe laga tu pura monster mode mein aa jayega.

Abhi(muttered): Aaya tha na kal Nandu ke cabin, apne hulk mode mein.

Manik(rolling his eyes): Listen, I was so angry yesterday. I just controlled it for you because you were Nandini's brother and second I had a guess about you and Mukti. That's the reason I went to Nandu's cabin and asked her to call you instead of coming straight to yours.

Abhi(gaped): Matlab, tune meri jaan bachayi.

Mukti(raising an eyebrow): Isliye tum itna panicked the kya?

Abhi nods in yes.

Mukti(amazed): But Manik, how did you get to know?

Manik(smirked): What did you think? Yeh jakar tujhe console karega aur tu jake ise console karegi and I will ignore all this? I had my doubts since the day I found him in your room. Woh line kya tha iska "She was overwhelmed". (Turning towards Abhi) bhai tujhe pata hai, tu kitni ghatiya acting karta hai?

Abhimanyu pouted.

Cabir(puzzled): waise princess, tujhe bhi pehle se pata tha kya? Tu bhi kitni shant shant hai.

Nandu(smiled): I accidentally found Mukti's name on his mobile when she was calling him one day and had a doubt since then. Finally, he told me the day when Mukti and others came to Mumbai.

Navya(squealed): Hayee tum dono kitne smart ho.

Manik and Nandu smiled at her.

Cabir(proudly): Arey mujhe bhi pata chal gaya tha even before Manik and Nandini. Bas main apni smartness flaunt nahi karna chahta tha.

Everyone rolls their eyes.

Mukti(sarcastically): haan haan. Ab yeh bhi bolde, you only made us fall in love with each other?

Cabir(seriously): Nahi. Uski zaroorat nahi hai. Main dekhte dekhte Abhimanyu ki life barbaad kyun karunga?

Mukti glares at him. They all have their breakfast. After breakfast, everyone leaves for their rooms and Abhimanyu and Nandu decide to go to the office.

Abhi(pleaded): Nandu, main thoda Mukti se baat karke aayu? Please.

Nandu(coolly): Go. And tell me if she is fine or not.

Abhi(frowned): Sachi na? Tu mujhe tease kyun nahi kar rahi?

Nandu(rolling her eyes): Are you expecting me to tease you? Brother, go talk to her. I know you both need to sort few things. Even I need few signatures of Cabir bhai. Main bhi ja rahi hun.

Abhi(side hugging her): Tujhe hamesha sab pata chal jata. Meri jo behen hai.

He sticks his tongue out saying the last line and runs from there. Nandu smiles at him and leaves to find Cabir.

Mukti's room

Abhimanyu goes to Mukti's room and finds her lost in thoughts.

Abhi(cheekily): Mere dil ki dhadkan kya soch rahi hai?

Mukti(laughs off): Ishh Abhimanyu. That's too cheesy yaar.

Abhi(chuckles): aadat daal lo. Sabke samne tumne accept kiya that you love me.

Mukti chuckles and he takes a seat beside her.

Abhi(hesitatingly): Mukti, are you comfortable? I know it's hard for you to trust people and you accepting me in front of everyone needs a lot of courage. Are you in any kind of pressure?

Mukti(smiled widely): Abhimanyu, calm down. I haven't been this sure about any decision of mine than today's. I am feeling extremely happy and light. Thanks to Manik. I never realized how insecure I was regarding you. (frowns) I just thought I have trust issues but I was all this while scared if even you would leave me just like everyone.

Abhi(sincerely): Hey, Mukti. I would never ever leave you, girl. Acha to make you feel better, let me put it this way. Do you think your monster Manik and my Nandini would leave me alive if I even think of leaving you? Yaar Nandu toh mere se jyada tumhe support karti hai and you know Manik. I need to be alive right.

Mukti chuckles to which Abhimanyu smiles.

Abhi(raising an eyebrow): I am leaving for office. Tum shaam mein free ho? After practice.

Mukti(puzzled): Haan. Kyun?

Abhi(smiles): Mom se milne. Chalogi?

Mukti nods nervously. Abhi takes her into a side-hug.

Abhi(cooed): Don't be nervous. Ready rehna. I will pick you up.

He leaves for office after pecking her forehead.
