N: and he was mumbling some words like I needed u at that time....

Fab 4 feet froze at her statement.....they looked at eachother in shock ..their faces were pale and then next moment they were running towards manik's room......she widened her eyes looking at them running.......

N: unhe Kia hua.....manik ....manik ke sath zaroor kuch hua hai..... the way fab 4 went pale at my statement and manik's condition last night......but what's the matter.......(questioning herself)

On the other hand fab 4 opened the door with a thudd and at the same time manik hid sth under his pillow and closed his eyes immediately pretending to sleep.......they all looked at him with a sorry face....they were not there for him when he needed them the most......

Al: manik we know u r not sleeping......

MAnik turned his face to look at them and said while scratching his head sheepishly Haan wo neend nhi arhi thi.....

Ma: aur Haan TM logo ko Kia hua...aise kyon khare ho....

And next moment they all hugged him.....manik was baffled at their sudden hug but then said

Ma: aree aisa Kia hogya hai TM logo ko......u guys r not cracking jokes.....itne chup kyon hn TM log

C: we r sorry manik hm tere sath nhi the jab thje hmare zaroorat thi (ashamed)

Mu: we guys broke the rule that we will be there for eachother in our tough times......

Ma: kon sa rule...kia hua mjhe (still hiding the truth)

Dh: ab hm itne dur hochuke Han ke to hm se baate chupaye ga.....(sadly)

Ma: mjhe kuch smjh nhi arhi .....

Al: is ke baare mein Kia khayal ha manik....(taking out picture from under his pillow......)..... yesterday u fainted bcz of this also ......abhi bhi u r doing the same.....u didn't tell us about ur feelings Ur inner turmoil (sadly)

Ma: TM logo ko kis ne btaya ye Sab(licking his dry lips worriedly)

Cabni: Nandini

Ma: use bhi sab pta (horrified)

Fab 4 : use nhi pta but yesterday she heard u mumbling I needed u at that time.... yesterday also u were missing uncle.....u were going through hell and on the other side Ur frnds were sleeping peacefully.....we were not there for u .....to console u......and u took so much tension that u fainted.......(their words were showing how much guilty they were)

MAnik took 2 3 long deep breaths to calm him down... stopping his tears from flowing ......

Ma: I miss him ......(lump of tears formed in his throat)....

Fab 4 : we r sorry manik.........we weren't there for u ......(they all wanted to bang their heads in wall...... their frnd had to go through so much and they didn't even have a slight idea about it......)

Ma: no it's okay......chalo let's do sth...change the topic (clearing his throat)....

They all sat there with their head hung low........manik stood up and looked towards them........

Ma : aree chalo naa..... TM log waise itne piyaare ho ye aise faces bna ke aur piyaare lgte (he said making faces)........while fab 4 laughed slightly......

How good his heart is....that side was only known to his frnds...he wasn't showing his pain just bcz of them so that they don't feel guilty..... mukti thought...

Fab 5 came in lounge........Nandini saw them and opened her mouth to say when manik shouted

Ma: no more rest Nandini...I swear I will start crying Yaar(puppy face).....bs ab party hoge wo bhi fab 5 ke style mein (he wanted to divert his mind from his past).....
Nandini immediately closed her mouth listening him and pouted.....manik pulled her puffy cheeks.....

Mu: yes.......it's going to be fun......(excited)........manik brought drinks and showed to fab 3 ....they immediately pounced upon the bottle while dhruv and Nandini had juices........they danced had fun....they were sitting when Nandini said

N: let's play sth guys...

Mu: lets play never have i ever (she said rubbing her hands excitedly)

Al: yup let's play......

N: never have I ever bunked the class....
Fab 5 looked at eachother laughing madly at her statement.......how innocent she is they all thought.....then one by one they drank from the bowl and Nandini was glancing at them while they gave her look what ....everyone do it....(well I have done it too😂😂😂)....

Al: never have I ever smoked weed in my life ever

MAnik licked his lips in confusion/and fear .....then he drank from the bowl...while they all were looking at him shocked......

C: when (his voice was stern)......

Ma:(bit his tongue)......woh in college...u guys know naa I started spending more time with Nikhil....I somehow started smoking it bcz I was in so much tension.......(he was avoiding any eye contact with all of them)...... their faces were showing anger they were holding for him........

Mu: it was weed manik (roared angrily)

Ma: I knew u guys would react the same way so that's why I didn't tell u guys.......at that time it seemed to be the only option to escape from my tensions........m sorry Yaar......abhi to m not smoking it naa everything is fine........

They kept staring the table didn't react to his words........it irked him

Ma: hm game khel rhe the let's continue it.......Chalo let's continue plzzzz......

Mu: never have I ever did it

Only manik and dhruliya drank and nandini was staring at him as if he were alien.........

N: when.....

C: ye long question hai Nandini.....baad mein btaye ge 😂😂😂

While manik glared at cabir and said.

Ma: I have quit it a long time back.... after u entered in my life....

Manan were lost in eachother's eyes....they shared an intense eyelock..they came back to reality when they heard fab 4 coughing....the smirk on their faces made them red in embarrassment to avoid it manik spoke...

Ma: never have I ever stole sth from my frnds house.....

Mukti and cabir moved at their place in unease......mukti and cabir both moved their hands to grab the bowl but then their hands striked with eachother and they both said

Cabni : u too (in confusion and somewhat happy that they r not alone 😂😂😂).....

Then the next moment they highfived and started laughing holding their tummies..... while fab 3 looked at them surprised...

Fab 3: when

Mu: Aliya Ur branded chocolates

C: and manik Ur favourite perfume.....and the next moment they were running and maliya was running behind them holding cushions and throwing things and them saying we won't leave u guys......

After sometime they again started their game and now dhruv said

Dh: never have I ever get slapped by my frnds .....

And manik looked at all of them giving them angry glare while they all suppressed their laughter ....manik took a sip from bowl and said I won't forgive u guys ever.......said making puppy face......now only cabir was left he said

C: never have I ever entered in my parents room when they r doing it......

Fab 5 And Nandini: ewwww cabir (weird faces)

C: ewwww ki kiaa baat hai......u guys r here bcz of it only so don't make ewww faces.....Agee Jake TM sab ne bhi yhi Karna (rolling his eyes)....aur Haan manik to kis kushi mein ewww ewww Kar rha hai......tjh pe ye Sab suit nhi Karta....

MAnik grabbed cabir's collar and punched him  saying sallee thje mere se masla Kia hai......

Soon they all went to their rooms..manik was about to go when Nandini held his hand and dragged him to lawn.....

Ma: Kia hua Nandini (startled at her behaviour)

N: manik tmhe Kia problem thi......u smoked weed.....if u want u can share with me......and TM abhi bhi to ye Sab nhi karte......(questioning him one by one without giving him time to say anything...)

Ma: stop.....(Nandini immediately sushed her mouth.....)....wo sirf clg ki baat thi I wasn't mature at that time....mere kuch problems chal rhi thi .......I wanted to escape from every tension so I found an easy escape....ab aisa kuch nhi hai m fine ......(holding her by her shoulders)......

N: r u sure (still suspicious)

Ma: yeah m damn sure.....chalo ab chalte (he dragged her with him inside the house.....)

At evening fab 5 also went to hospital to meet Yash.......manik still didn't go infront of him while fab 4 met him....they spent sometime with him....Yash thanked him for saving his life......while manik met doctor and asked about his condition....

Next morning

Fab 5 came in dinning room and saw Nandini with apron placing dishes on the table.......mannik sensed sth fishy so he asked

Ma: Nandini what is this......why r u wearing this apron (wanting her to tell him that she didn't cook 😂😂)

N: ajj breakfast Mene bnaya hai (proudly)

MAnik mentally slapped and murmured aaj to maare gye remembering his first breakfast made by her...... while the rest of them were excited to eat food.....they served themselves while Nandini was standing waiting for remarks.....they started eating the food and everyone's expression got changed bcz food wasn't good...manik sensed it that his frnds were going to spill the food so he said

Ma: Nandini can u plzz bring water....

Nandini went into kitchen when he spoke further

Ma: guys she put so much effort to make This.... don't break her heart....use kuch mat khna...tell her that food is awsm .....

Mu: but how will we eat it.... I can't eat it manik (crying tone)

Ma: ok I will eat it ....cabir and dhruv were about to put his food in manik's plate when he said bare Bhai bnte rhte ho us ke liye aik khana nhi kha skte.........aur Haan dhruv ye le Aliya Ka bhi to hi khaye ga....akhir Apne piyaar ke liye itna nhi kar skta to ........while dhurv gave her beta mein thje choro GA nhi look.....

Then they saw Nandini coming with water bottle....Nandini gave it to manik and then picked up the bowl to taste food when manik immediately grabbed the bowl saying

Ma: ye hmare liye bnaya tha tmnne Yaar TM kuch aur kha lo (pulling the bowl)

N: aik bite to lene do...lemme check naa....

Ma: (manik be like agar aaj check kar Lia to u will never go to kitchen again) then said TM ne khud bnaya hai tmhe pta hi hoga kesa hai....ab mjhe ye khana hai it's so yummy (he mentally rolled his eyes at his own statement while fab 4 gave him u can't be serious look).......

Soon the delicious breakfast ended and the boys sighed in peace.....and manik went to his office and dhruv and cabir in their dance academy leaving the girls in house.....

MAnik was working when he recieved call from some unregistered no...he picked up the call and the caller said

Caller: hello step brother kesa hai....I miss u so much (dramatically)

MAnik just stared at wall uninterested in his stupid talk when Harshad again started

Har: so suna hai bhaabhi jee ke father bare beemar hai....And u be like a good son in law went to meet him....

Ma: it's not Ur fuckin problem (shouted)

Har: wese I don't think so bhaabi ko ye baat abhi tak pta hai......what if she get to know about it....

Ma: Harshad Harshad Harshad lgta hai business nhi chal rha Tera tbhi thje Mera itna khaayal hai.....(poison in his voice)

Har: business nhi chal rha but maa Ka piyaar zaroor mil rha hai (smirking evily)....dekhna chahe gaa.....with this he cut the call and after sometime manik's cell beeped with notifications....he opened it and saw Harshad with his mother enjoying ....they both Hugging eachother..... Harshad kissing neyonica's cheek...... Harshad lying his head on her lap......like a perfect mother son....... few drops of tears rolled down his face and fell on mobile's screen
