Mukti was just sitting there looking at Cabir and Dhruv. And Manik? he was searching for Nandini.

Mukti:- Guys bas karo yaar. ( Stop it guys.)

Dhruv:- Tik hain bet lagate hain. Agar Nandini hari tho you will not eat anything whole day. (OK let's bet. If Nandini lost then you will not eat anything whole day.)

Cabir:- OK if Aliya lose you will pay the canteen bill for 1 week.

Dhruv:- Deal.

Cabir:- Deal.

Manik (in mind):- Dhruv you did a great mistake. I know Nandini will win because she is the best.

Nandini came on the court.

When she entered some boys whistle and loudly cheers for her. Manik didn't like that.

Cabir:- Here my sister come.

Mukti:- She is looking great.

Cabir:- Akhir Cabir Kapoor ka behen hain. (After all she is Cabir Kapoor's sister.)

Mukti:- Very funny Cabir.

Manik:- Guys be quite let's watch the game.

Aliya also came.

Fab 3 immediately looked at Dhruv. Cabir and Mukti looked at him with open mouth.

Mukti:- Aliya kabse Teri ho gayi? ( From when Aliya is yours?)

Dhruv became nervous now.

Dhruv (stammering):- Aree mera matlab he humari Aliya. Tum log kuch bhi bolte ho. ( hey I mean our Aliya. You guys talking anything.)

Cabir:- Mujhe nahi lagta mai kuch galat suna. Mukti tujhe? ( I don't think so I heard something wrong. Mukti you?)

Mukti:- No I heard right.

Manik observed Dhruv. He could guess something change in Dhruv's behavior. He thought to asked later.

Manik:- Guys leave it now. Let's enjoy the game.

The game started. First Nandini was doing great. But when they changed their position Nandini was not able to win. Dhruv was jumping and dancing. Cabir was chewing his nails and Manik was watching the game worriedly.

Dhruv:- Cabir ready ho ja pure din bhuke rehne ke liye.(Cabir, you should be ready to stay hungry all day.)

Cabir:- Tu chup kar. ( You shut up.)

Mukti:- Chup ho jao tum dono. End mai kuch bhi ho sakta hain. ( Be quite you two. Anything can happened at the end.)

Cabir (in mind):- Bhagwan bacha le na. Mujhe pure din bhuke nahi reh na. ( God please help me. I don't want to stay hungry all day.)

Then the game changed . Nandini was scoring. Aliya was not able to pull it up and at the end Nandini won. Cabir jumped from his sit. He started to do chicken dance. Dhruv was sad.

Cabir:- Yehhh Nandini jeet gayi. Yeppiii ab Dhruv beta ready ho ja 1 week ke liye canteen ka bill tu pay karega. ( Yehhh Nandini won. Yeppiii now Dhruv get ready to pay the canteen bill for 1 week.)

Dhruv:- Nahi mai ne kab kaha. ( No when I said that.)

Cabir:- Dhruv!!! You are a lier.

Dhruv:- No I'm not.

Cabir ran behind Dhruv and Dhruv ran from his life. Aliya came to her friends. Mukti hugged Aliya.

Mukti:- Koi nahi yaar. Hota hai. ( It's OK yaar. It's happened.)

Aliya:- I tried my best. But...

Manik came and side hugged Aliya.

Manik:- Don't be sad yaar. It's totally fine. Better luck next time.

Aliya:- Hmm

Mukti and Aliya got busy in their talk. Manik's eyes were searching for Nandini and there she was. Talking to her friends. Navya was jumping and Priya was hugging Nandini. He lost in her. But what he heard next he became angry.

The boys who were sitting there whistling. Among from them one boy was talking shit and dirty things about Nandini. Like how she played and she was that and then. Others were listing him. Looking like he was the leader. The boys left from there. Manik was now totally angry now. He moved towards Mukti and Aliya.

Manik:- Guys I will be back soon.

Mukti:- Kaha ja raha hain Manik? ( Manik where are you going?)

Manik:- Mujhe kuch kam yaad aagaya. Mai bas abhi atta hu. ( I remember I have some work. I will be right back.)

Aliya:- OK.

Then Manik left from there and he followed those boys secretly. At the end the boy who was leader bid bye others and started walking towards his dorm. Manik picked up some clothes over somewhere.

Manik went from behind and wrapped the cloth around his head and started beating him. The boy was not able to defending himself. He was trying to removed the coth but he was not able to. After satisfied with his work Manik leave him. The boy fall on his stomach. The cloth became wet because of his blood. He was losing his conscious. Manik bend own and held his face.

Manik (in dangerous tone):- Never ever talk ill about my Nandini. Agli bar yesa karega tho jinda Nahi chorugga. ( Never ever talk ill about my Nandini. Next time if you did, I will not leave you alive.)

Then Manik left him and left from there. He was going to class room but he saw Nandini going inside locker room. He smiled and went behind her.
