After enjoying the quality time with nandini, manik was finally feeling good. He was feeling he have someone beside him who cares for him and love him. He had always thought that fab5 is his whole world, but today he felt like his world shattered. He found each and every piece of his heart broken by the harsh and cruel words of his friends.

He was sleeping while Nandini was caressing his hairs. Just then her phone rang. She put it on silent mode and went outside to talk as she saw the caller ID as 'Cabir Bhai'

She picked the phone up only to be bombed by the questions by cabir, mukti, navya and aryan.

Cabir- manik kaisa h?
Mukti- vo abhi kya kr rha?
Navya- usse kaho ki vo jyada na soche.
Aryan- nandini kuch bolo to!!

Nandini- let me speak first! Cabir manik abhi pehle se thik hai. aur mukti abhi vo so rha hai.. aur navya mai kya kahu usse? They were his family, and his family betrayed him.

Aryan- he would be ok by the time... Don't worry.

Nandini- he is making himself believe that yes! It was his friends who didn't trusted him!!!

A

rya- It will take time nandini he is hurt very hurt they were his family and now all of this happened it's like a blown up for manik

N- Hmmm I understand I will try to distract him.

Nav- Nandu manik ke sath - sath tu apna bhi dhyan rakhna okay.

N- Okya navya I will take care of both of us.

C- Nandu koi bhi kaam ho to phone karna okay.

N- Okay Bhai 

Muk- Nandini please be with manik he really needs you

N-I will always be with him mukti Don't worry

N- Okayyyy bye bye

everyone replied with a bye and hanged up the phone 

Nandini again went inside the room and saw manik sleeping  peacefully she went towards the bed and laid beside him and snuggled into him in reflex manik threw his arms around her ...

Next Morning 

Nandini woke up first and decided to cook some breakfast for manik she got freshen up and started cooking humming a song 

She was lost in her world not caring about her surroundings also unware of a pair of eyes who were adoring her 

Yess it was manik... manik woke up and got stressed by not finding nandini with him so he decided to look downstairs and there she was in one of his hoodies which was coming till her knees looking extremely cuteee singing a song while cooking and also displaying her not-so-good dancing skills in between which made him control his laughter but he lost his control when he saw nandini jumping and doing a weird step with his hands he just Bursted out laughing making nandini aware of his presence .

N- Tum yaha kab se khade ho

M- (between his laughter) Jabse tum apna concert Kar rahi thi yaha tab see but nandini that step I mean you should have seen yourself you were looking a rabni jumping 

N- Manik Don't tease me naaa 

M- Okayyyy... Sooo what's in the breakfast?

N- Jo bhi hai vo tab milega jab tum freshen up hokey aaoge

M- Okayyyy momma

Nandini chuckled listening him.

After some time manik came back after being freshen up and had thier breakfast with Sweet casual talks manik teasing nandini about her mini concert in kitchen etc etc

Nandini was ready for college and was waiting for manik but she was damn nervous as Manik is gonna have a encounter with dhruv and Alia and it can effect him alot 

She decided to ask manik if he ready to go college or he wants some time for himself 

N- Manik I wanted to ask you something

earning a go ahead sign from manik 

N- Do you want some time manik I Know you're not weak but still if you don't want to meet them now we won't go college if you want sometime to yourself it's completely fine we all will understand.

M- Nandini I know what you're thinking but I want all this drama to end as soon as possible not because it's effecting me because it's because it's effecting all of us Everything is Soo messy I just Want all of this to get over and if it's about Alia and dhruv I won't lie it will hurt to hear thier words but now when I know they don't really consider me as thier friend it will be easy for me to move on and anyways I deserve a closure.

N- I am Soo proud of you manik

nandini hugged him which manik instantly reciprocated with a beautiful smile 

Thier moment was broken when cabir , navya , Aryan and mukti entered the Malhotra Mansion shouting manik's name 

Manik groaned at the disturbance and let go of nandini who just ruffled his hair 

C- What's up Manan

M-(grumpily) Everything was going good until you all decided to interrupt.

Muk-(teasingly) Ohho we didn't Know there were steamy scenes happening inside

nandini blushed and manik rolled his eyes.

Aryan-Soo manik are you coming to college today?

M- Yes I won't spoil my mood for the people who don't care about me.

They were having a talk when nandini's phone buzzed and she excused herself to pick it up 

N- Hey the work is going fine.

N- It's okay I will handle it.

N- Hmmm fineee thanks

She cut the call and with everyone went to college in a six seater car.

Next chapter there will be face off between Manan and Dhrulya...
