Next day all others were enjoying their time with nok jhok but 3 persons were not there mentally.

Aryaman, Mukti and Maddy...

Mukti was trying to completely ignore Maddy...Maddy was also giving the same treatment to her ... and Aryaman he was still thinking on nikki's matter.

That was the time when Nikki came there and said hi to all.

She after meeting Manik came to Aryaman and sat with him.He passed a soft smile to her .

Nandini thought: cute to lagte haan dono sath mein ... But Aryaman k confused mind ka kya kiya jae...

Here Mukti gave an excuse of headach and left from there.Maddy only watched her leaving from there.

He also came outside after excusing himself.

All day went in this hide and seek for these 2 couples.

At night again all friends decided to sit in the hall for late night but Mukti again excused herself from there after saying: Mujhe neend a rahe hai... so I am leaving...

Aliya looked at Mukti's face and saw her a lil disturbe... Nandini also noticed this... She looked at Maddy's face who was trying to show his normal behavior.

Dhruv and Manik said after Mukti left: Yeh mukti ko kya hoa?

Cabir: Nothing yaar... os ne kaha na subha os k sar mein dard hai so os ka side effect abhi bhi hoga... Isi liye chali gayi.

Others: Hmmm.

But Aliya and Nandini thought: (Aliya) Y I have a feeling that something is wrong with mukti.

(Nandini) Mujhe aisa kyo laga k Mukti hamein avoide karna chach rahe hai.Mujhe dekhna pare ga.

At night Mukti takes out the sleeping pills bottle from her bag and then takes 2 pills for mind relaxation.

After she slept... Aliya came in Mukti's room and saw her sleeping ... at same time Nandini entered.

She in very slow voice asked: So gayi kya?

Aliya: Hmmm. When she turned to leave from there her eyes stopped on that sleeping pills bottle.

She picked that bottle in horror in mean time Nandini also came to her and saw that bottle.

They both looked at each other with surprise and then looked at Mukti with Worry.

Aliya placed that bottle back and then both came outside of her room.

Nandini: yeh sleeping pills bottle Mukti k pass?

Aliya: Is tarhan ki bottle mukti k pass tab bhi thi jab yeh depression mein thi.

Nandini with wide eyes and worried voice: What? Depression? U mean...

Aliya: Haan Nandini Bhai k time bhi jab Mukti depression mein thi tab bhi yeh pills use karti thi aur Abhi k time bhi...

Nandini: But abhi yeh pills kyo? Mukti to apney depression ko overcome kar chuki thi na?

Aliya: I am also thinking on same line... U know Nandini mujhe kuch sahi nahi lag raha... tum ne ajj mukti ka behavior bhi dekha na... Normal nahi lag raha tha...

Nandini: Don't worry Aliya kal tak dekhte haan phir os se baat kare gein.

Aliya with worry: hmmm I hope yeh phir se depression attack na ho?

Next day also passed with same routine at night Nandini and aliya again checked that Bottle from which Mukti was taking medicines.

On 3rd Day When Mukti left from there after giving some or other excuse then Aliya in her serious tone said to others:Guys mujhe tum logon se kuch baat karni hai...

All others were sitting in pairs except Maddy.

Cabir as usual in fun said: Dhruv tu ne kuch kiya kya?

Dhruv: hmmm No...

Aliya now in irritated voice: Cabir... be serious... all time tumhare yeh jokes ki zarorat nahi hoti...

Dhruv placed his hand on aliya's hand to calm her down.while others looked at her with surprised face.

Nandini also with her eyes told her to control herself.and Aliya takes deep breath to control her frustration

Manik observed this eye talk and know that some serious issue is bothering both the girls.

Manik with anticipation asked:Aliya what happened?Any Problem?

Aliya get a grip on herself and then said sorry to cabir.

Now all others including Maddy were eagerly waiting for her explanition.

Aliya: Guys its about Mutki.

Manik: What About Mukti?

Nandini: Guys I think agar yeh mukti k bare mein hai to Fab 5 members ko alag se yeh discuss karna chaheye... She indicated to others and said Hamein yahan se chalna chaheye.

Manik holds her hand and said: No Nandini is ki koi zarorat nahi hai coz ab hum sub ka bond aisa strong ho gya hai k hum sub kuch aisey share kar sakte haan.

Nandini: R u sure?

Manik hmmm

Manik then asked: Aliya Bolo kya hoa mukti ko.

Aliya said: I think Mukti phir se depression ki taraf ja rahe hai?

Nandini placed her hand on Manik's to give him courage.

Now this was a shock for all including Maddy.

Manik: What?What Nonsense...Tumhe pata bhi hai aliya k tum kya bol rahe ho...Aisa kaise?

Cabir: Y?

Dhruv: but aliya tum yeh kaise kah sakti ho.

Aliya: Dhruv Mukti ne sleeping Pills lena phir se start kar di haan...Main aur Nandini last 3 days se os ka behavior observe kar rahe haan.Aur tum log tumhe os ka behavior me koi change feel nahi hoa kya?

Manik's mind immediately clicked on Maddy's point.he with anger looked at Maddy's face who was extremely shocked on hearing this news.

Nandini also followed his gaze and saw his anger level started increasing.She tightened her hold on his hand to gain his attention and shook her head in No.

Manik turned his face to her and with long breath controlled his anger while others with worried face looked at each other.

Navya: But Mukti to yahan hamare sath hi rah rahe hai... Aur yahan koi aisi baat nahi hoe to...

Cabir: Aisa kya hoa jo Mukti phir se?

Aryaman: If I am not wrong then mukti pahle bhi ... ( he hesitated while asking further).

Nandini: Hmmm Aryaman but pahle ko choro aur abhi is k bare mein socho... Guys hamein jald hi kuch karna pare ga... Coz abhi is depression ka start hai zyada dair nahi hoe...

Manik in anger and frustration left from there... He came in Mukti's room and observed her tears stricken face .That sleeping pills bottle was also there near her bed.

Nandini came from behind and placed her hand in his to control his emotions.

She dragged him outside and then moved towards his room.

Manik after entering there puched the wall in extreme anger.

Nandini with worried face shouted: Manikkk... pagal ho gaye ho... she immediately hold his hand and checked whether there was any bleeding or not.

Then she kissed his hand and said: Manik don't do this to your self again...Plzzz... aise koi bhi problem solve nahi hogi...

Manik again remembered about Maddy and his interest in mukti and in anger said:I am sure yeh sub problem osi ki wajha se hai... Main osey choron ga nahi...Main ne tumhe kaha tha na k yeh sub Mukti ko phir se na disturbe kar de... But... ( He in helplessness shouted AHHH)

Nandini with worry hugged Manik and said: Manik kuch ghalt nahi ho ga... Trust me.

Manik: Mukti phir se os...os depressing phase ki taraf ja rahi hai aur ...tum ab bhi kah rahe ho k kuch ghalat nahi hoga.

Nandini cupped his face and said: Manik !Calm down and listen ... Hame pahle Mukti ki exact problem findout karni hai... So that hum os ko solve kar saken.

Manik with aggression: And I know mukti ki problem... wohi hoga...

Nandini holds his hand and said: Manik tum Maddy ki baat kar rahe ho na.but tumhe aisa kyo lag raha hai k yeh sub maddy ki wajha se hai.

Manik: I am not a fool...I know...Aur tum... tum ne bhi dekha tha na os ka interest Mukti mein...I am sure yeh depression ki wajha wohi hoga... Mujhe os se baat karni pare gi.

No tightly grab his hand and said: No Manikkk ... What if Maddy is not behind all this ? What if... Her problem is related to something else...

Manik looked at Nandini with worry.

Nandini with the blink of her eyes clamed her down and said: Manikkk yahan ao...( and she dragged him towards bed and made him sit on it and then sat besides him,,,,, she holds Maniks hand and said)Manik I think hamein pahle Mukti se baat karne ki koshih karni chahye...

Manik with confident voice: Os se baat karne ka koi faida nahi hoga...coz wo kisi ko kuch nahi batae gi...U know... Harshad k time bhi aisa hi hoa tha... and then Abhi k time... Tumhe yaad hai na wo tum hi thi jis ki wajha se hamein Abhi k bare mein pata chala...wo to hamein nahi batana chah rahi thi so I guess is baar bhi agar ose koi problem hai to wo kisi ko nahi bataye gi.

Nandini now assured him: Batae gi Manik... Zaror batae gi... Trust me...(now she caressed his face and said to cool him down) Bus merey Monster Malhotra thora sa patience rakhna hoga .

Manik: Matlab ?

Nandini with fake irritated face: Tumhe Mukti ka problem pata karna hai na... to abhi k liye have patience . Aur jahan tak rahe Muti k sleeping pills lene ki baat to o ski tum tension nahi lo... Hum na wo pills hi change kar deen gey.

Manik: What?

Now Nandini patted his forehead and said: Arey buddhu Multi Vit ki tablets se exchange kar dain gey un pills ko.So is se osey koi harm bhi nahi pohanche ga... aur hamein time bhi mil jae ga o ski problem solve karne ka...

A smile came on Manik's face after hearing this idea and now Manik with a naughty smirk moved his hand towards her face and removed a strand of hair from her face while saying:Wow Miss Murty... Kafi smart ho gaye ho merey sath rah k.

Now Nandini played along with him while saying: No Mr Malhotra...Main to pahle se hi smart thi wo kya hai na appp ko hi har baat der se pata lagti hai( and at end she winked at him).

Manik immediately encircled his arms around her and placed a soothing kiss on her head and said: Thanks Nandini for being there with me
