Naina : hi... I am Naina... And i will be your friend....

Seeing it other kids too come and befriend with Naina.... Naina smiled heartily and be everyone's friend....

The kids were talking with each other when they heared a music being played....

They looked at the entrsnce and see M6 standing there and playing their instrumants..... Seeing this Harshad and Soha joined the kids all set to listen one more M6 magic...

Nandini : itti si hansi
Itti si khushi
Itta sa tukda chand ka
Kwab ke tinkon se
Chal banaye aashiyan

Nandini come to Naina singing these lines and bend down till her height and placed a small kiss on Naina's cheek.... Seeing this Prithvi bhi apna cheek Nandini ko dikhata hai aur Nandini uska bhi cheek kiss kartha hai...

Kaira : itti si hansi
Itti si khushi
Itta sa tukda chand ka
Kwab ke tinkon se
Chal banaye aashiyan

Kaira sing with a beautigul amile on her lips which was mirtored by all the kids there....

Maddy : dabe dabe paon se
Aaye haule haule zindgi
Hothon pe kundi chadake
Ham tale lagake chal
Gumsum tarane chupke chupke gaayen

Maddy sang taking a round around the kids and dancing with them....

Aryaman : aadhi aadhi baantle
Aaja dil ki yeh zameen
Thoda sa tera sa hoga
Thoda mera bhi hoga
Apna yeh aashiyan

Aryaman sang with his dabang attitude as if telling the kids beside him chal dil ki zameen baantle and kitna uska hoga aur kitna bachin ka hoga.... And as usual woh wahan pe bhi cheat karne ki koshish ki lekin kids kids hai usko kahan se punch mila usko bhi nahi pata.... He looked at his friends for the help but they were enjoying the show without popcorns

Navya : itti si hansi
Itti si khushi
Itta sa tulda chand ka
Kwaab ke tinkon se
Chal banaye aashiyan

Navya sang playing with the kids and doing weired steps making Harshad too dance like her (Joker ki madhubala joh hai *sigh*)

Nandini : naa ho chaar deewarein
Phir bhi jharokhe khule
Baadalon ke honton pe
Shaakhein hare pankhe jhale
Naa ho koi takararein
Arey masti thahake chalein
Pyaar ke sikkon se
Mahine ka kharcha chale

Nandini sang hugging the kids with that beautiful smile intact on her face...

Abhimanyu : dabe dabe paon se
Aaye haule haule zindgi
Honton pe kundi chadake
Ham taale lagake chal
Gumsum tarane chup ke chupke gaayen

Abhimanyu sang acting like he is sibbing his lips and loking it for which the kids has a hearty laugh

Aryaman : aadhi aadhi baantle
Aaja dil ki yeh zameen
Thoda sa tera sa hoga
Thoda mera bhi hoga
Apna yeh aashiyan

This time Aryaman done the same thing but is baar jab dil ke zameen baanta toh equal hi kiya.... He doesn't want to be the drums of the children ever again.... For which kids give him attituds while he make a puppy face

Kaira : itti si hansi
itti si khushi
Itta sa tukda chaand ka
Kwaab ke tinkon se
Chal banaye aashiyaan

Kaira sang kneeling down beside Naina and cupping her face and planting a kiss on her forehead

Maddy : itti si hansi
Itti si khushi
Itta sa tukda chaand ka
Kwaab ke tinkon se

Maddy too kneel down infront of Naina and give her a toy and recieved a kiss from her....

Both Kaira and Maddy take Naira in a hug at the same time leading to a small eyelock which is broken by The kids who joined the hug later....

The kids had a crazy time with the gang who become a kid being with those naughty once.... Aur naughtyness aur crazyness main hamare younder clan zaroor aage hai... Hospital authority ko sach main shak hua hoga ki us main se kids kon hai aur adults kon hai....

After having a gala time younger clan bid a good bye to Naina and other kids promising to come some other day for sure....

Malhotra Mansion @ 12.30

Manik was lazing around the house as it is week end no college... So Fab4 take the time for thier me time.... So no one is gonna come now...

Manik was sitting on the balcony and tuning the guitar for a change he was playing a soft tune (MaNan tune)

He has a constant smile.... Uski woh sweet sa smile hai na woh uske lips pe intact tha.... Lagtha hai woh apni MaNan land pe tha....

He was so into his MaNan land he didn't even recognise another person presents there.... But the person very well understand that Manik baba is in some other land.... And in someones khayalon main khoyi hua hai....

Person : woh ladki kon hai?

Manik : (with foolish smile) Nandini

And he blushed... I mean Manik Malhotra... No.. No... The Manik Malhotra blushed and that was surely a heart attack for the person....

Person : aur yeh Nandini kon hai...

Manik : ( that smile is still there ohk) Nandini she is.... She is... Special...

Person : ohhh special.... Matlab pyaar

Manik : (dreamily) haa....

Seeing Manik is not gonna come out of his dream land the person smack Manik's head.... And thats when he come to the reality.... He looked at his right side and saw the person standing there with his hands crossed....

Manik looked at the person without blinking for a minute and then rubbed his eyes and then opened his eyes one by one.... As if he is making sure that person non other than his superman... His dad...

Seeing his antiques Mr.Raj Malhotra smile fontly at his beloved son... Who still has stored that small child in his heart which he is hiding from the whole world....

Raj : apna dad ko gale nahi malayega kya?

Thats it for Manik he jumped on his dad and take him for a bone crushing hug.... Feeling the presence of his superman.... And Raj too hugged him back with all his might.... Kyun na ho bab beta kitnon maheene baad mil raha hai....  Both of them has a 1000 watt smile on their face with slight layer of tear blurring tbeir vision... Khushi ke ansoo you know....

The father-son dup break the hug and wiped each others tear which managed to rolled down even after so much of trying from each side....

Raj : kaisa hai tu....

Manik : acha tha par ab bahot acha hai...

Raj pattrd his son's cheek with affection and then settled down in the sofa arrangement in the balcony....

Manik too sat there with his father...

Raj : tune bataya nahi....

Manik : kya?

Raj : (with a mischevious smile)Nandini kon hai?

Manik : Nand... Nandini... She is.... She is....

Raj : special hai na... I know... Uske aage bolo....

Manik : wohh... Wohh...

Raj : Manik no cheating ohk... Sach sach batao.... Kya chal raha hai tumhare aur Nandini ke beech.... Because when last time i checked you were committed to Alia then all of a sudden you are sitting her and smiling like a fool playing a romantic music on your guitar.... And on top of that you didn't even get to know my presense.... So ab bata kya chal raha hai....

Manik : dad aisa kuch...

Raj : Manikkkkk

Manik : ohk ohk.... Its just that we like each other....

Raj : so usne kaha ki she likes you....

Manik : ausa nahi kaha... But i know...

Raj : kaise?

Manik : arrey i know... Matlab i know.... Par we thought will just go with the flow...

Raj : ohk... So tumhara gaadi sirf liking pe hi adi rahi hai.... Abhi tak you are not sure ki you love her or not....

Manik : aisa nahi hai....

Raj : phir kaisa hai?..

Manik : dad i know ki jo bhi hamare beech main hai it is very special.... Maine aisa kabhi kisi kelie feel nahi kiya... Not even Alia.... Its.. Its really special.... You know dad she just understand me like back of her hand.... Mujhe kuch kehne ki zaroorath bhi nahi padtha.... It is like she is reading my mind.... And woh mujhe har baath easily samajhaatha hai.... Just like you do.... And meri har problems kelie solution hai uske paas.... You know she is the only one who Manik Malhotra ko takkar de sake.... She even punch me infront of whole college...

Raj : (shocked) what?

Manik : yes dad... Can you believe that.... Mujhe Manik Malhotra pe haath uthaya woh.... And sinserily it hurts... It really hurts.... Dekhne main toh sirf ittu sa hai (he said showing his finger) par she is like kya kahte hai Cabir.... Haa chota packet bada dhamaka.... And above all she understands our Fab5 friendship.... You know she doen't have any problem with our friendship.... She even convineced me to talk to Alia after our break up... Agar usne mujhe samjhaya nahi hota toh main meri ek acha friend ko kho deta.... I am sure she will never try to break Fab5... Infact she will keep us together come what may.... And she will never judge me dad.... Never.... And uske ek smile mera din beautiful banatha hai.... Ek din nahi dekha toh main restless ho raha hoon dad.... I want to see her infront of me all the time.... She is.... She is like a magic.... She is the only one who can control me.... She is the only one...

Raj : aur yeh sab hone ka baad tum abhi bhi liking pe atke hua ho?

Manik : matlab?....

Raj : ohooo mere idiot beta.... Itna sab kuch hua.... Matlab you know she is the one for you.... Phir bhi tum kah rahi ho ki you only like her....

Manik : yeh pyaar hai nahi yeh sab mujhe nahi pata.... Mujhe sirf itna pata hai ki i need her... I need her in my life dad...

Raj : and woh need ko hi pyaar kahta hai mera bachu...

Manik looked at him confused....

Raj : bacha life main na crushes bahot saara hoga.... Lekin sacha pyaar ek baar hota hai.... Kyun ki life pe second chance har koi ko nahi milegi.... Tumhe ab ek chance mili hai.... Just grab it...

Manik : chance matlab?

Raj : tu itna dump kyu hai? Tu Cabir se door hi reha karo.... Woh tumhe bhi us jaise dumb bana rahe ho....

Manik : (pouting) i am not dumb...

Raj : woh pata chal raha hai mujhe abhi..... Manik Malhotra.... Tum ne abhi bataya hai na.... She is the only one and you need her in your life.... Yeh realisation se hi sacha pyaar start hota hai..... Sacha pyaar matlab woh jiake saath ham saari zindgi bitana chahta hai.... Uska bina jeena mushkil hi nahi na mumkin hota hai.... When we recognise he or she is the better half of us... Tabhi suru hota hai pyaar ka safar.... Ab samajh aaya.... (Raj said Patting Manik's cheek)

Manik : iska matlab...

Raj : iska matlab you are in love beta ji

Manik looked at Raj quizically and Raj nodded his head in affirmation....

And it create a beautiful smile on Manik's face.... He was sure that joh bhi uska aur Nandini ke beech hai woh like se badhkar hai.... Jab Alia kaha ki they are (MaNan) made for each other he was 50% convinced but when his father said it is love... It is TRUE LOVE... Now he is 100 nahi nahi 1000% sure ki he is in love....

Manik : I Am In Love.... I Am In Love With Nandini.. Wohoooo

He said excitedly punching in the air..

Manik : dad did you hear.... I love her...

Raj : maine suna usko kab batane wala hai?

Manik : usse... Usse main kaise bataonga.... What if she rejects me.... Agar woh mujhse pyaar nahi kartha toh...

Raj : don't think negative.... Tu Manik Malhotra hai.... Heir of Malhotra Industries.... Tumhe kon reject kar dega?

Manik : wohi toh problem hai dad.... She is not someone who will come behind these wealth and all.... She doesn't care about my money and status dad.... She is someone who only care about heart....

Raj : tab bhi you are safe yaar.... Tu mera beta hai.... A gem... Thats why i named you Manik.... So don't worty about it and think how to open your heart infront of Nandini....

Manik : dad maine use date kelie poocha tha

Raj : ohooo date kelie poocha tha.... Par kab?

Manik : musicana ke baad... Matlab 3 din baad....

Raj : ohk... Then we have ample of time for the preperation.... And i will help you ohk....

Manik : aap mera help karenge...

Raj : haa... Kya hua?

Manik : dad yeh aapka time ka zamana nahi hoon.... Its 2019.... Aapka old fashioned ideas mujhe nahi chahiye....

Raj : ohoo.... Mara ideas old fashioned nahi hai... Aur waise bhi main old nahi hai.... And not to foreget mera hi help se tune apni feelings samajh main aaya.... So don't flaunt....

Manik : theek hai... Theek hai... Batao kya karna hai....

Raj : arrey let  me think yaar.... Will tell you tomorrow kya karna hai....

Manik : ohk.... Aap bataya nahi aisa ajanak kyun aaya?

Raj : kyun nahi aa saktha hai kya?

Manik : aisa nahi hai...

Raj : ek deal kelie aaya hai.... Do you hear about Amets group...

Manik : yeah.... That London based Indian company....

Raj : yeah... Uske saath.... Agar yeh mil gaya toh jo bhi loss 7 saal pahle hua tha woh sab mita paonga...

Manik : thats great dad...

Raj : yes par uskelie thete is 5 days time.... So this 4 days is fully mera beta ka naam....

Manik : (excitedly) really....

Raj : yes... Aur waise bhi Musicana aane wala hai... Apna beta ka performance kaise miss kardoon.... Waise hi tumhara bahot saare performance business ke wajah se miss ho gaya hai.... Ab aur nahi iss baar har koi father ki tarah apna beta ka performance dekhoonga.... And apna beta jab win karoonga audiance ke saath baithkar wistle bajaonga .... Tu dekhna....

Manik eyes has tears hearing his father.... He always wanted his parents to see him performing and encourage him.... Even though Nyoniks hamesha har ek performance pe aaya kartha tha par labhi use encpurage nahi kiya.... Sometimes he seen her wiping her tears without anyone knowledge whenever he win... Par kyun is it because she is proud of him.... And those were khushi ki ansoo... He don't know.... Aur Nyonika ke saare actions dekh ke yeh instict pe vishwas karna is not even in the question.... So now his dad will be there to see him performing is one of his secret wish....

Manik : thank you so much dad...

Raj : arrey is mein thanks ka kya baath hui? And why are you crying.... Poora ka poora crybaby ban gayi ho tum....

Manik : main crybaby nahi hoon...

Raj : mujhe dikh raha hai... Ohk now yeh emotional baathein chodo and lets plan our next 4 days....

Manik : par mujhe collage hai.... Practise nahi chod saktha hai na.... Competition is on its verge...

Raj : we will plan according to it.... Toh i will get time to prepare my presentation too.... Ohk...

Manik : done...

Then the father-son duo started their planning how to spent their 4 days....
