Jungle @ 3.30 A.M

Zubin : we have 5 cars with us... So kon kis gaadi main jaa raha hai...

Aryaman : i am not gonna drive ohk... Mujhe sona hai.

Maddy : agar tune nahi kaha phir bhi we wouldn't have allowed you to drive. We don't want to die so soon bro.

He said making M6 giggle. Aryaman glare at them, well as usual no one was affected by it. Seeing this he just went and sat in the passeneger seat of one of the car and even Nandini made Nyonika too sat in the back seat of that car. Seeing this Manik was looking at the same car, making Nandini enterwine once again to the conversation.

Nandini : hmmm Aryaman and Nyoma is already in this car so Kayu drive this car and Manik..

She called and everyone looked at Manik who was till now looking at Nandini.

Nandini : you too go in this car.

She said while Manik gave her with a greateful look to which she gave him her beautiful smile.

Nandini : and Mr.Malhotra you shouldn't drive now, so Abhi, you can drive right?

Abhumanyu nodded at that.

Nandini : so take Mr.Malhotra and Dhruv with you. And yeah Mukthi too.

She said Mukthi's name looking at him making him scowl at her. Smilingly she continued.

Nandini : yeah Zubin you take Aami, Navya and Cabir with you. And...

Mukthi : woh Nandini... Cabir ka wound. We want to consult a doctor.

Mukthi intervined Nandini with hesitation in her voice but Nandini only smiled at her understanding her concern towards her friend.

Nandini : don't worry Mukthi we will call the doctor home.

Mukthi nodded at her smilingly.

Nandini : and bakki two cars hai Harshad you too can drive right? So you take soha and Alia with you. And in last one Me,Maddy and Vikram bhaiyya will come. Is it ohl with you guys.

Everyone nodded at her and get in to the car and drove to their destination.

That is Mannt Mansion.

Mannat Mansion @ 4.15 A.M

Five cars entered into the Mansion. Everyone came out of the car.

Fab5 and Raj were looking at the Magnificant Mansion in aww...

Alia : woww... Yeh kiska ghar hai?

Kaira : hamara.. Come get in.

Said Kaira who heared her question and welcome them.

Soha was going to open the door when someone opened it from inside.

And there stood our Sursuri bhabhi with her ever famous pooja ki taal in her hands and her sweet smile in her lips.

Soha : bhabhi... Please sab tak gaya hua hai. Aap yeh swagat kal karlo. Theek hai. (everyone is tired, you can welcome them tomorrow, please)

Sursuri bhabhi : arey aise kaise. Pehle hi jab maadam ji aaya tha tab ham use welcome nahi kar payi. (when maadam ji has come i couldn't welcome her) (to Nyonika) woh kya hai na maadam ji ham, hamare oo ji ke saath date pe gayi thi. (she said with a shy smile) Par aaj main hoon na. Isiliye Sabko ache si welcome karne kelie ham yahan isi pose mein pandrah minutes se wait kar rahi thi. (because i was on a date with my oo ji. But i am here today, so i was waiting for welcoming you guys here in this same pose)

Navya : par aapko kaise pata chala ki yeh sab aane wala hai.

Sursuri bhabhi : woh Aru ji ne call karke bata diya tha mujhe ki sab aane wala hai tho sab kelie khana banana hai. (woh Aru ji had called me saying to make food for everyone)

Nandini : wahh Aru, tum kabse itna samajhdaar ban gaya?. (from when did you become this much understanding?)

Aryaman : jabse mere stomach pe choohe doudne lage. (from when rats start running in my stomach) Its been mote than 8 hours that i ahd ate something.

He said as a matter of fact and Fab4 confirmed. Aryaman is Cabir's judwa bhai.

Sursuri bhabhi : (to M6) aap log yahan se hato aur mujhe yeh logon ko aarti utarne do. (you guys move from here and let me do arti of others)

M6 obeyed her neverthless. As they know she is not going to let them enter without doing her arti. And she done their arti.

You guys know na how?

And it made Fab5 look at her baffled. Aise kartha hai welcome here?

Yes it is a unique tradition here.

After this Sursuri bhabhi let them enter.

Everyone entered the house only to be mesmerised once again. The living room was simple at the time comfy and modern.

Living room was spacious with less funiture. A telivision faces the sofa. Behind the sofa the dining area was arranged. On the right side of the dining area a piano was there. Which only gave a classy look to the whole area. The white colour interior gives a pleasent feeling. All in all the entire living area looked magnificant.

M6 asked Fab5 and Nyonika and Raj to sit in the living room. But..

Nyonika : bacho i just wanted to rest for sometimes. Main apne kamre main jaa rahe ho.

She said and everyone nodded at her understanding her emotions. She started to move and Nandini too moved with her to make sure she is comfortable. While Raj and Manik was longingly looking at Nyonika's retreating figure. And from this Fab5 could only understand one thing that Nyonika knew NavNi and gang before. But from when?

Then another awkward silence prevailed there even Aryaman too don't know how to break the ice. But for their luck the door bell rang. Abhimanyu went and opened the door to find a doctor. He escorted him to the living room.

Till the time Nandini too came back after making sure Nyonika is comfortable.

Doctor check Cabir and ensured them that it is not that deep making Navya and Nandini to thank their respective favourite god. Doctor bind his wound and gave him an injection. To which he make crying faces.

And after departure of doctor Sursuri bhabhi called them for having their late night... Sorry morning dinner.

Raj : nahi mujhe bhuk nahi hai. Aap log kha jao.

Kaira : aise kaise Mr.Malhotra, we know that you haven't had your dinner. Then how come you are nit hungry.

Raj : woh..

Navya : just because you are stressed you can't avoid your health Mr.Malhotra.

Nandini : yes sir. Please come and have food. (to Fab5) you too guys. Come.

Sh said Fab5 looked at each other then nodded at her.

M6 girls went to help Sursuri bhabhi while Fab5 and M6 boys including Vikram took their seets in the dining table.

Girls started serving to everyone. After serving everyone Girls too sat in their places.

Kaira : Cabir, why are you not eating anything?.

Kaira asked while looking at Cabir who was looking at the food with a pout.

Kaira : didn't you liked tha food. Should bring something else.

Cabir : nahi. Nahi isiliye nahi.. Woh my hands.

Kaira : ohh sorry. Hmm wait.

She said and took a bite from the chapati dipping in the curry she forward it to him. He looked at Kaira wide eyed.

Kaira : arrey aisa kyun khoor rahe ho. Khao.

She said with a smile, while Cabir looked at Navya as if asking her what to do who was sitting opposite to him. While she just tell him to have it with her eyes while a sweet smile playing in her lips. She was happy that M6 are trying to accept him. From Kaira's guster's she could feel that. But... But... But... Someone was shooting draggers at Cabir from the other end of the dining table. Guess who?

Maddhyam Singhania.

He was saying that he doesn't love Kaira, but seeing her giving attentionto someone else disn't set well with him. And he is saying he doesn't love her.

"Its complicated"

Soha : hmm Nandini Nyoma ka dinner?

Nandini : i asked but she denied. I tried but...

Raj : she is stubborn. She won't eat if we force her. She always do this.

Soha : you know her very well. Hai na Mr.Malhotra.

She asked na.. Scrach that. She taunted Raj who immediately looked down to his plate. He really got to know what she meant.

Nandini : Soha..

Nandini called her name her voice held warning making Soha roll her eyes. Neverthless she too focused on her plate. While Nandini looked at the father-son duo who has guilt written all over his face. Nandini was constantly looking at Manik but he didn't gave her any glance making her restless. She wanted to assure him, that everything will be alright. Kuch bhi hi jae she will never leave his side. But he didn't give her any chance. Making her sigh in disbelief.

After dinner everyone retired to the room. Manik,Dhruv and Cabir in one of the guest room. While Mukthi and Alia in other guest room. Raj too went to the room alloted to him.

After a tiring day everyone wanted to take a peacefull sleep. But some minds were clouded with guilt, fear, helplessness.

Nyonika's Room

She was lying in the bed from god knows how long. She wanted to cry her heartout. And she did till she felt her tears are dried up. But is it so?

She don't know how to feel now. Shouldn't she feeling happy now that her family get to know that she wasn't at fault. Iskelie hi toh hai she decided to tell her past to M6. The same pain dhe once thought to end when god take back her life? She wanted to get her family back. And she have them now.

Manik, her son. Her world. He know that she is not the culprit, that She always loved him, that She is living for him. She knew he believed what she showed him. The hatered she saw in his eyes from the past 7 years wasn't there when he plead Rohit to leave her. And the same moment she forgave him too. But she still feared what if Manik didn't want her back? Will he be her same Manu who had always came to her for the smallest of smallest things. Will he be the same Manu who always run into her arns coming back from school to tell her what had happened that day? Will be the same Manu who won't wake up from the bed untill she gave him a forehead kiss? She don't know. But she desperately wanted him to be her same old Manu.

And then Raj. What about him? Will he be the same Raj too? Will he be the same Raj who call her a thousand times when getting ready for office, to get his things? Will he be the same Raj who always cared for her, pampered her? And even if he is the same Raj will she able to forgive him? That is the very big question. Will she able to forgive him? Is her heart has this much streangth. And above all what is the guarantee that he won't repeat the same. What if he mistrust her once again. Will she be able to go through one more heart break?

Hell no.... If she had to face another heart break then it will be the end of her life too. Her heart is too fragil for that.

But will she be able to live without him? Ofcourse she can. She lived the past 7 years. But was that called life. She was just a breathing body. Thats it. She wasn't living her life. Never. So she need him. But what about her insecure heart.

This is hell confusing. So she decided what she thought to be best. Go with the flow. Yes. She is not going to cry over her past, and not even going to beg to Raj for accepting her. If he need her then he have to win her back. Win her trust back. Period.

Raj's room

Raj was looking out of the window gazing at the moon. Thinking about his life.

He, the king of Malhitra Empire is nothing in his life when he look back. He lived a life where he was surrounded of happinesz, positivity and especially love. The love he recieved from Nyonika, his love. And the interesting fact was that he himself crushed that life. He literally crushed Nyonika and her love mercilessly. And how? Because he didn't trust her. He, the one who always give long speech about trust, didn't trust his love. Without trust there is not love right? Does that mean he never loved her?

No, he loved her. But when his so called brother came into the picture, the priorities changed. Or the accusing words always his brother told about Nyonika brain washed him. When he saw Nyonika one day onthe restaurant he losed it. But was his love that week, that his love vanished with some words? Yeah may be or may be not. But the after effect was 7 years of his life, which could have been beautiful only if he would have trusted Nyonika. And it only affected him. How can he forget Manik. Wasn't he the one who affected by it the most. And he crushed his son's childhood too. And Navya has said that day on the coffe shop that Harshad lost his friends because of some nasty business rivalry. And that too connected to him only. So in this list enters Dhruv and Alia who lost a best friend and brother in thid process. Yeah his list of sin's is so long. *sigh* but what possibly could do now?

Beg for forgiveness. Yes. The only option left. But is it sufficient. Never, the heart break he caused is too big that one apology will erase it all. Na.. Never. Then what? He have to do something so that Nyonika would trust him. But at the same time he didn't want to do something only to impress her. He wanted to make her his old Nyonika, for whom he was the world. But is it that easy. Again a "no" came there.

But he is Raj Malhotra. He never take no as an answer.

But..

But..

But..

He knew that Nyonika is someone who feel selfrespect as her strength. So if he try to pursue her with his Malhitra attitude then, he had to say a permenant good bye to her. So left was being Raj. Simply Raj. Nyonika's Raj. Only he could pursue her. And he will do anything to get his Nyonika back. At any cost.

Fab5 Boys Room

Here lied two souls who too was in the pool of emotion.

First Dhruv, who is so escastic to know that Harshad never changed. He is the same Harshad all along. It was them who misinterpreted him. It was them who always thought him as their enemy. Who wanted to break Fab5. But it was the other way around. He was he who broke himself just to make sure his bestfriends are safe. The glimps of old Harshad he saw with Nandini and Navya wasn't any hallusination. That was the truth. His buddy, his Harshad as always there. It was them.who failed to undeestand him. But now when every truth was out then now it is their responsibiloty to sort it out. Harshad has done everything he could have. Now its their turn. His and Manik's. And Dhruv being the sorted person, he knew what he have to do. And he will do it.

And another one was Manik. Who wasn't even able to cope up with the situation. He is guilty, hurt, confused and what not. He wanted to go and hide in his mother's arms. But he thought he lost that right. He didn't even saw her breaking infront if his eyes. Then why would she comfort him now. He wasn't there fir her. Then he doesn't have any right to seek comfort from her now.

Is it true? His heart desperately wanted it to be false. But his brain it was so sure that, his mom will hate him.

And Harshad what about him? Will he hate him too. He have done anything and everything to hurt him. He never left any chance to taunt him. And then now if he ask his forgiveness then will he forgive him?.

He don't know. He don't know anything. But he need these two in his life. This seven years without them was no less than a hell. So he need them back. For that he is ready to anything. Anything means anything. But what?

Once again he don't know anything. What will he do now? This guilt and hurt is eating him. And this confusion is not doing anygood at all.

He was in his thoughts when he flet someone shaking him. He opened his eyea and sat in the bed instantly. But his mouth was covered with a soft palm instantly.

"Shhh... Its me.."

He heared a wisper and he knew who was it. His shining star. But what is she doing here now. He looked at his right and saw Dhruv and Cabir sleeping, Cabir's hands and legs literally crushing Dhruv making MaNan chuckle.

MaNan looked at eachother for a small eye lock. Coming out of it she holded his hands and making him stand uo from the bed. Then started to drag him.

Manik : arey Nandini kahan le jaa rahe ho?

Nandini : shh... Chup. Just come with me.

She said and dragges him. They come out of the room. Then went to the terrace.

They entered the terrace. She once again dragged him and made him sit one of the sofa.

Nandini : be here. I will come in a minute.

She said and ran away without giving him any time to say anything. He just chuckle at her.

She came back after 5 minute with 2 coffee in her hand. Well coffee for him and filter coffee for her.

Thats when he noticed her night dress. She really looked cute in it. Simple yet beutiful. That is what Nandini Moorthy is right?

She gave one mug to him which he took without any nagging. Well he really needed it at that moment. Then she sat on the same sofa taking her own coffee mug.

He silently drank the coffee silently while Nandini was just looking at him.

Manik : stop staring me.like that Nandini.

Nandini : then tell me what was going on that mind if yours.

She asked without any hesitation. While he looked at her for a moment before resting his head in her lap. He closed his eyes and sighed when he felt she started running her fingers in his hair.

Nandini : kehte hai share karne se dil halka ho jaate hai. So share it. (they says if we share problems then it lessen stress)

Manik : i don't know Nandini whay should i say. I am just... Just confused.

Nandini : (stunned) did you still feel that Nyoma and Harshad was at fault.

Manik : (sitting straight) what... Do you think i am that idiot.

Nandini : main aisa nahi socha tha par agar tumhe aisa laga toh its not my problem.

She said shrugging her shoulder while Manik glared at her. But lagtha hai aaj kal iska glares ka koi power nahi hai. (i think now a days his glares doesn't hold that power). Kyun ki aaj ek aur baar his glares doesn't scare Nandini.

Nandini : theek hai. Ab ghoorna band kar aur kaho jo kehna hai.

Manik huffed and lie on her lap once again.

Manik : woh i am confused ki how to ask their forgiveness.

Nandini : so Manik Malhotra decided to apologise to someone. That's a news.

Manik : Nandini please don't make me embarress yaar. And its not about some random people. Its about my mom and my bestfriend.

Nandini : i am glad that you atleast realised it now.

Manik : Nandini i know i behaved like a jerk with them. I know i made their life miserable. I never leaved a chance to misbehaved with them. But it was because i thought they hate me.

Manik looked at Nandini after saying this but he didn't see any emotion in her face. He thought she will console him saying it wasn't his fault. But nothing that sort of happened. He sighed and continued.

Manik : these all happened when i was a kid Nandini, and i believed what i saw. So you can't blame in it.

Nandini : it is not a excuse Manik.

Manik : it is Nandini.

He said sternly and Nandini just looked at the other side she didn't want to fight with him now. Because she is here now for comforting him.

Manik : so when i got to know everything i wanted to apologise to them and want them back. I am willing to do anything for it. I will even beg infront of them. But will they ever forgive me Nandini?

He asked with hope glistering in his eyes. Nandini smiled in that child like innocence in him.

Nandini : Manik i know you will do everything you could. And i appreciate that. But make sure thet you would never hurt them ever. They have done everything only for you Manik. I know how much they love you. I have seen them crying for you. Begging to us to do something, so that they will have you with them. For them you are very important Manik. So please don't hurt them ever.

She said looking straightly into his eyes and a lone tear escaped from his eyes. She wiped it making closing his eyes.

Manik : you knew Harshad before.

Nandini nodded her head with a soft smile.

Manik : kab se?

Nandini : hmmm 1 year.

Manik : 1 year... Kahan?

Nandini : London.

Manik : so you are from London?

Nandini : yes Mr.Malhotra.

Manik : i thought you are from Magalore.

He said with a pout.

Nandini : My birth place is Mangalore, i lived in USA till i was 5. Then i came to Mangalore. Uske baad we shifted to London.

Manik : ohhh. How did you meet Harshad then?

Nandini : it is a long story Manik. But i can't tell you about it. It is Harshad's right. But i could tell you one thing, we met him because of you.

Manik : me?

Nandini : yeah.

Manik : par kaise?

Nandini : i told you i won't tell you.

Manik : tum Hitler jaise kyun behave kar raha hoon yaar.

He wined.

Nandini : because you behave like a kid.

She said pinching his nose making him whine more making Nandini smile even Manik too smiled with her.

Then both sat there in the silence. They didn't realised the time till the sun rises.

Nandini smiled when the first ray of sun touched her. Brightening the whole world.

Nandini : (excited) Manik took at there. Sun is rising.

Manik : (smiling) so?

Nandini : It Means New Begining, Then Lets Begin This New Phase Of Your Life.

She said looking at his eyes making him smile.

Yes, it is the begining of a new phase of his life.

So i am ending the chapter here....
