Till now all the others had left the place including hacker! .. It was only Fab5 and Neonika in the office...
Neonika kept her hand on Manik's shoulder and in reflection he turned back..
Neonika- Manik! Don't you think you should have a talk with Nandini..? Ho sakta hai ke uski koi majboori hui hogi ..
Manik- Mom please... Majboori rahi hogi..? Like seriously? Aapko pata hai usne kya kiya.. She... She stole our performance and gifted it with golden wrappers of opportunity
to Harshad!
Aap bhi thi na waha.. Kya aapko lagta hai ki us bastard ki itni aukad hai ke woh iss level ka song perform kare..?

All of us had worked hard for it..! 3 mahine se mein woh song likh raha tha..! Dhruv!
He pointed towards him and continued...
He came out of his comfort zone and prepared a multi tune for the climax lines.. Alya and Mukti literally fought with eachother taki unke notes ka coordination ho.!
Cabir! He was going to submit this song as an audition for Trinity college!
Jab 6 mahine baad ham sab San Francisco shift hone wale the tab he wanted to work as a senior tutor in
Music except being our band mate!
And you know whats the worst.. She knew every thing of it! Aur aap keh rahi hai majboori..?
He could have got it easily being famous .. But No! We wanted to do something on our own!!
He took a deep breath!
Few minutes back you said that the passwords reside with me only! Right?
The password was "MaNan7012 " ..
Ma for Manik , Nan for Nandini and and 7012 means 21st july (reverse order) the day we met eachother for the first time!

Mene hi usko ye bataya tha ! Cause I bloody Trusted her! He was gritting his teeths! Aaj agar ye hacker successful na huva hota na toh i would have been ruined!! Malhotra Group of Industries would have been on road and Dad ki mehenat mitti me mil jati!
Music ke alava company mein hi mera career hai!
What should I say more?
She herself was the key to destroy The Manik Malhotra.!
Harshad ne woh bhi kar diya!
Neonika- but..
Manik- bas! Mom ab mein kuch nahi sununga..
Okay ! chalo ek pal ke liye mein maan bhi jau ke there was a reason behind it but what made her sleep with my enemy? Huh?

Let me tell you guys something that I am hiding..! This was not the first time that i saw Nandini and Harshad together..!
And This was like a bomb on them!!! He knew it?
Since last fortnight i had been observing her ! The times when we were together.. During practice or after college.. She was always absent minded.. She used to be glued to her phone and when I asked her she said ki mein Shru ( Shraddha) se baat kar rahi hu...
mein bevaakoof nahi hu ..
Why will Shraddha use an Indian no. being in U.S ?? I used to asked her ki is there a problem or you need any help but Nandini's answer was always negative..! I thought it is cause of the competition because it is Nandini's tendency to get hyper as the final day comes close! But just a day before that when i wanted to take her out she said I am tired.. !! I found her having a cup of coffee with Harshad in ccd ! Woh dekhke i was shocked! I called her and she said she was at home and just going to bed...!!!!

Alya- I can't believe it? Nandini aur bhai? Chi..

Now this was unpredictable! What was this girl upto? But more than that these people were worried for Manik ! Knowing that your partner is hiding thing from you is Pain!! Though he was a pro in disguising feelings but this time his eyes was reflecting betrayal !

Cabir- ab tum kya karoge? I know you are up to something!
Manik gave an evil smirk and said-
She played with Manik Malhotra right! Now she will face the Wrath of me!! Woh mera career duba rahi thi ab mein uska career khatam kar dunga !
Mom! Musicana 3 months baad hai na ! Pre- pone it to a month later!!

Dhruv- Impossible! Manik 4 din hue hai Talent Hunt ko khatam hue aur itni jaldi koi aur student toh kya hum bhi prepare nahi kar payenge ...

Manik- who said that we are going to take part?
The four of them are confused!

Manik after understanding their faces continued- what I mean is iss baar musicana mein fab5 part nahi lega...
He chuckled... Come on guys! Kitni bar jeetenge ! Kisi aur ko toh chance dena padenga na..! We are now established!!!
Mukti- tu pagal hai.. Iss moment pe tujhe joke sujhraha hai.. ??
Aur ! Ye kya hai huh ?? fab5 iss bar part nahi lega? She mimicked him! Dude! Musicana is like fab5's territory! Pichle 2 saal se hum jeet rahe hai aur is bar jab hat trick hogi toh hum part na le ?

Manik- tu mujhe bolne de gi? Hum is bar participate nahi karenge kyuki this time Malhotra Industry will be the prime sponsor!
Cabir- ab yeh kyu karna hai?
Manik- cause i want to make the rules for it!
Aur musicana mere baap ka nahi hai ke woh mujhe changes karne denge!!!! He was irritated cause of their constant interruptions!
Cabir knew it but was doing so just to enlighten the atmosphere...
Cabir- toh !
He looked towards neonika and continued- I am sorry aunty but...
He said to manik-
Baap ka nahi toh maa ka toh hai...!!!!!
And there was silence..! Ye woh tufan ke aane ki pehle ki shanti thi...
Manik hit Cabir hard for his not so necessary and lame joke!!
All bursted into laughter!
Neonika said- but why do you want to do so?
Manik- its simple cause I need revenge! Mein is bar khud rules banaun ga and i will be represented not as the ex-winner but as the sponsor head!! The winner would get a 2-album deal with us!
Alya- it would be like a dream come true ! I mean hamare saath album karne se they would be exposed to music labels aur unme se ek agar unhe sign karle toh unko aur kya chahiye!!

Manik- and thats what i want ...
I will make sure that Nandini will participate! Afterall Manik ki ex hai ... Semifinals tak toh honi chahiye!
He had an devilish smile!
