At night

In Fab 5's Mansion

Manik was sitting on his chair in deep thoughts..He was reminiscing all those moments which he had spent with Mia and his encounter with the boys.." Who were they ? Why did I feel so connected to them ? Mia..she is such a sweet heart..she made me smile just like how My Nandini used to..And those boys..Manvik and Prathik..why do I feel so proud of them ? They were showing too much of attitude and I am such a person who won't tolerate anyone's arrogance towards me, I always got respect even without asking for it, yeah something which Nandu doesn't like it, she always believed that ' one should gain respect by their character not by their power or money ' and in my case it was always opposite..and I saw myself in Manvik and Prathik..Why ? And how is it possible ? I was never fond of kids until Alish and Ayaan came in my life but never got close with any other kids but here I just want to spend my time with those kids..why ? It's kinda frustrating.." thought Manik..

His thoughts were broken by Dhruv who came to call him for dinner..Fab 5 gathered in the dining hall to have dinner..

Cabir: Guys, you remember right that we need to visit the music labels tomorrow..?

Dhruv: Oh yes, the one which was suggested by Mr. Siddhant Kapoor..right ?

Cabir: Exactly..

MukBhi shared a tensed look..

Alya ( confused ): I still don't get it..How come a famous Actor like Siddhant Kapoor is interested in us being a part of a mere Music Labels..

Dhruv: It isn't a mere music labels Alya..it is the No. 1 musical label of Australia so its for our benefit..

Cabir ( confused ): But he doesn't even know us then why was he interested..

Abhi ( tensed ): Arey, maybe he is..he is just helping his friends..you know..he has told you guys right that the owner of the company is his best friend..so he might be..might be just interested in helping her..

Mukti ( joined him ): Exactly, after all we are the most famous band all over India..

DhrLya: Maybe, you are right..

But Cabir was still suspicious and he was keep on glancing MukBhi, he is finding them fishy since a long time..While Manik was still lost in those kids or HIS KIDS..Soon they got done with their dinner and went to bed..

In MukBhi's bedroom

Mukti: I can't believe it..He suggested her labels to them..

Abhi ( frustrated ): Mujhe tho patha nahi kya karna hai ab..kal wo log jaa rahe hai aur na jaana waha kya kya ho saktha hai..Ab wo purani DOLL nahi hai meri..

Mukti ( tensed ): Hum kuch kar sakthe hai kya Abhi ?

Abhi: Tujhe lagtha hai hum usse rok sakthe hai..no one could do it..

Mukti ( sighed ): So will we just watch the drama ? I have promised HER Abhi..I bloody promised her..She will be broken..

Abhi hugged Mukti who was going to break down..

Abhi: Shh..kuch nahi hoga..

Mukti ( sniffed ): She has suffered a lot Abhi..aur kal..patha nahi..kya hoga..

Abhi: Let it be Mukti..I know she has suffered a lot but maybe tomorrow will be a new start..HE could be the warmth for her..

She nodded at him and they went to sleep to welcome a new day or a new start for their family..THEIR BROKEN FAMILY..

Next Day

In ManPrIa Music Labels

Fab 5 were sitting in the private waiting area..They have reached at 9 am since the meeting was supposed to start at 9:30 and Alya being the impatient soul didn't allow them to be late as she was a fan of the owner cause ManPrIa 's owner also had a boutique and since the time she heard the name of the company she was getting restless to meet the owner..While Manik was having a strange feeling in his heart..he was feeling restless..he didn't know the reason why..Well it was not just Manik but even Cabir could feel the restlessness..Suddenly they heard some footsteps and looked towards the entrance to get a shock..

Lady: I am sorry we had to...

The lady stopped herself from talking after seeing Fab 5..she was shocked beyond to the limit..She widened her eyes in shock..her eyes had turned moist..While on the other side also the condition was no less..Fab 5 was sitting with shock written on their faces..Cabir was the first one to get up..he took baby steps towards her and stood in front of her and raised his hand o touch her face..

Cabir ( touched her face ): NAVYA..

Yes, it was NAVYA NAVELI who came to call Fab5 to lead them to conference room for meeting and didn't know the band's name..But all she got was shock..she was seeing her LOVE in front of her after 10 years..she couldn't help it but to cry her sorrows..

Navya ( in tears ): Cabir...

That was it for them..they hugged each other like never before..They broke the hug and Cabir kissed her whole face while she giggled at him..

Navya ( giggled ): Ab bas bhi karo Joker..

Cabir ( in tears ): I missed you MADHUBALA..

Navya ( sobbed ): I missed you too...

" Navya"

Navya turned to see Alya and Mukti standing there in tears..she ran towards them and hugged them tightly..

" I missed you "

They broke the hug in happiness..she even hugged Dhruv..( Abhi is at home with the kids )..She turned to see Manik standing there with smile..all she could remember was Nandini's crying face..the way her soul sister was accused of cheating on her love..Manik came forward but she stepped backward and showed her hand..

Navya: I didn't expect you here Manik Malhotra..

Manik wasn't shocked with this behaviour, he knew how much Nandini meant to Navya but hearing such bold words from Navya was shocking to everyone..

Navya ( looked at Mukti ): How come you all are here ?

Mukti ( avoided eye contact ): We are here for a meeting with NM..

Navya ( shocked ): So you are the band suggested by Siddhant ?

Alya ( confused ): Yeah, but how do you know him..? And how come you are connected to NM ?

Navya ( tensed ): We..We will talk about it later Alya..Anyway..come with me..I will take you to the conference room..

She walked in the front with Cabir and others followed them..She opened the door of conference room and entered first followed by Fab 5..

Fab 5 entered to see a lady sitting on the Head chair and reading a file who was facing her back towards them..

Navya ( nervously ): The band is here NM..

The lady got up from her chair and turned towards them..

NM: Hello and wel...

She stopped her lines in the middle to get a shock..she was seeing HIM in front of her..she never wanted to see him again in her life..she had tears in her eyes..she remembered all her happy moments that she spent with HIM, deep down her heart she always wanted to see HIM, she wanted to know whether HE was alright as she knew without her HE wouldn't even like to see the next sunrise but HIS WORDS..those words which stabbed her heart stooped her from even thinking about him..

While Fab 5 stood there in shock again..Manik's legs were rooted and couldn't move..he couldn't believe that he was seeing HER in front of him..He was happy..damn happy but didn't know how to express it..All he could do was to whisper her name..

Manik: Nandini...

Yes, NM of Australia is none other than NANDINI MANIK MALHOTRA..His love Nandini..his Wife..His Life was standing in front of him..He couldn't control himself he rushed towards her and was about to hug her but a hand came in between..He saw it was Nandini's hand..

Nandini ( coldly ): I don't keep body contact with my CLIENTS Mr. Malhotra

Manik ( shocked ): Nandu..

Nandini ( straight face ): Its NM..I don't remember I have ever told you my name being Nandini..so It would be better if you be formal..

Fab 4 were standing shock with nandini's behaviour but they knew it was right to behave like that..No woman will ever listen anyone pointing their finger at her character and so Nandini won't like it..

Cabir came towards Nandu and stood in front of her..

Cabir: Should I be also formal ?

Nandini ( smiled in tears ): Should i be formal with you BHAI ?

He smiled and hugged her..she too responded in same favour..Manik's eyes got wet..he badly wanted her in his arms but his deed weren't that small to be forgiven easily..

DhrLya rushed towards Nandu and hugged her..

Alya ( in tears ): You know I missed my ANGEL..

Nandini ( smiled ): And I missed my best friend too..

Mukti came forward and looked at Nandu and and then hugged her and sniffed..

Mukti ( whispered in her ear ): I am sorry..

Nandini smiled in tears and hugged her back and whispered " I missed you "

Nandini broke the hug and saw Manik looking at her..she looked at Navya

Nandini: Navy, we will start the meeting..

She nodded at her and they started the meeting..Nandini's business skills amazed Fab 5..She gave a file towards them..

Nandini: This is the contract..read it carefully and sign it..you will have to stay in our Mansion for 3 months..that means till you finish the album..

Manik ( started to sign ): We trust you..

Nandini ( sarcastically ): Oh come on Mr. Malhotra..Trust isn't something easily gained and I at least know that you don't trust people easily..( she whispered ) not at least me..

Manik was beyond hurt to hear from her that he doesn't trust her..but wasn't it true ? He didn't trust her when she was accused of being characterless and so he has no words to speak anything now but honestly he is repenting for his mistakes by being away from her which is the biggest punishment for MANIK MALHOTRA..
