It was now the lunch break in college.. Every one was roaming here and there.. Busy in their own world , when they heard an announcement..
" May I have your attention please... All the music students are requested to gather in Auditorium.. I repeat..
All the music students are requested to gather in Auditorium.. Thankyou! "
Manik stepped down from the podium of announcement room and walked towards Audi..

Soon everyone were in .. Fab5 along with Trustees and Principal were on the stage..
Neonika was constantly on her phone cause she was least interested in whatever was happening!
Principal sir said to manik- Beta! Sab log aa gaye hai ! I think you should begin now!
Manik glanced allover .., Nandini was absent.! He wanted her to be here!
Manik- nai! Kuch der aur!
After sometime Nandini entered , she was the only one left! She quietly stood in the corner..
Manik saw her and stood up .. He moved towards the mike.. -
Good afternoon SPACE! He wishes will all zeal ! I hope all of you are doing well !
The audience were hooting ..
Today, I Manik Malhotra , am not here as a student or a part of Fab5 ! I stand infront of you as the CEO of Malhotra Industries..
Everyone was listening to him taking interest, Manik was a well respected gentleman. At the age of 20 he had achieved great heights of success!
He continued-
You are well aware of Musicana! There are rumors that it is after 3months from now.! But I would like to clarify that it will be exactly after a month !
As soon as he finished there were murmurs heard from the crowd..
Principal- silence!
Manik- let me complete! This year muscicana is chiefly sponsored by Malhotra industry that is me! And you guys should take up such challenges! A month is lot more for preparation if you work hard!

A boy from the crowd raised his hand- Manik ! Will fab5 be a part of it?
Manik- No ! Fab5 will not! Obviously, i being the sponsor will not take part !
This year it will be a heck of a experience for you .. With all over a new format ! New rules! New competition and New prize for the winner .. The rules and regulations will be displayed on the notice board soon! I hope all of you will take part and make SPACE proud!
There was a round of applause for him but he being the arrogant , full of attitude did not gave it a damn ! Principal announced them to leave! Now only fab4 were left ... Manik too moved out!

Suddenly a girl came towards the stage and hugged Cabir!
Girl- I missed you... I missed you so much!
Everyone present over there were surprised...
Cabir was patting her back as her breathes were fast!
Cabir-Sorry mein tumhe airport lene aana bhul gaya!
Girl- its okay!
Alya- won't you meet us Navya?
Navya - arre ofcourse!
With that she hugged all of them..!
Navya- vese aaj konsa announcement huva?? Aur Nandini kaha hai...? She looked here and there to find her bestie!
Dhruv- i think ab hame ghar chalna chahiye aur navya there is a lot for you to catch up!
Navya- ha ok! Even mujhe bhi tum sab ko kuch batana hai...!
She was unaware of the recent storm!!
Meanwhile, manik was searching for Nandini...,
He saw her entering neonika's cabin .. But before Nandini could step in he pulled her with her elbow to a corner... Nandini was surprised or rather confused.. Now what is he upto? She questioned herself..!

On the other side, fab4 along with navya were at Alya's place!
Navya was one excited soul as she wanted to say something really important... Hence, Cabir asked her to speak first...
Navya- mom dad ne mujhe U S jane ki permission de di..! Can you imagine Cabir!!! Aur to aur they even permitted for a live-in with you! Oh god! They accepted you Cabir!!!

She was jumping out of joy!

They were perplexed whether they should tell her or not!
Nandini was close to her but they realize the otherwise' even she didn't cared ! so why they?

Navya- arre yaar! Nandu kitni khush hogi ye baat janke..! She was about to call Nandini ... When mukti snatched her phone..!

Mukti- tu ushe baat nahi karegi!!
.
.
.

As soon as Navya was coming face to face with Nandini's work .. Her facial expressions changed...

Shock-Confuse- Distrust- Hate

It was just a week .. Navya went to attend a family function back to Patna and here her bestfriend was ...!

Navya couldn't control herself and bursted into tears! All of them were consoling her!

Nandini was confused with Manik's behaviour .. ! Manik had trapped her between him and the wall... It was an isolated place!
He had his face dipped in crook of her neck!
