They've to prepare one sad song, two love and one Rock song under their contract. And Abhi have come up with some lyrics which right now they all are going through and praising him.

Mukti: Abhiiii maine toh kabhi tumhara dil nahi toda, how did you came up with such intense lyrics??

Abhi:(rolling eyes) Ye meri ex ke lie h..

Mukti:(sarcastically) Haha Nice Joke..

Cabir:(chuckled) Exactly, if it wasn't for my sister who proposed you, tu abhi bhi single hi pada hota..

Navya:(glaring him) Oh helloo!! You're saying as if tum bade Bahubali ho.. Faddu kahi ke, apne hi confession wale day par behosh ho gaye the..

And leaving Cabir all three laughed and Navya top giggled..

Cabir: Excuse me!! I was dehydrated ok??

Navya: Whatever!!

Manik: Ok Ok Guys!! I guess we should do for what we're here for? Cabir ki beizati toh ham kabhi bhi kar sakte h naa??

Cabir: Sala koi apna h hi nahi yaha par...

Abhi:(smacked his head from behind) Chal be Nautanki, position le apni..

And all five took their positions, with Abhi with his acoustic guitar, Mukti with her electronic guitar, Navya on piano and Cabir on drums. While Manik with his guitar in the front.

Cabir: Three.. Two.. One!!

And he gave a beat and they started..

Kal raaste mein gham mil gaya tha,
Lag ke gale main ro diya!
Jo sirf mera tha, sirf mera,
Maine usse kyon kho diya!
Haan woh aakhein jinhe main,
Choomta tha bewajah,
Pyar mere liye kyon,
Unmein baaki na raha...

An suddenly Manik stopped as Mukti and Cabir stopped and so did Abhi and Navya.

Navya:(tsked) Tch, something is missing yaar guys..

Manik:(nodding in yes) Hmm..

Cabir: Guys, high note par try kare??

Abhi: Cabir, but sad song h naa??

Mukti: A small break..??

Cabir:(rolling eyes) Shuru kab hua jo tujhe break chaiye??

Mukti: Maar na kha lio mujhse..

Cabir showed her his tongue and started reading the lyrics again.. Everyone were trying to find the proper beats and did tried again but failed repeatedly.. After trying for seventh time now, Mukti kicked the table..

Mukti: I'm tired now...

Navya:(raising her hand) Me too..

Boys shaked their head in disbelief and started thinking.

Cabir: Waise Manik kal raat ko m kuch soch raha tha tere lie....

Manik: Rehne de bhai, tu mere bare me mat socha kar..

Cabir: Nahi yaar tu mera best friend h, tere bare me main nahi sochunga toh kon sochega??

Abhi:(chuckled) Waise kya socha tune Cabir??

Manik:(glaring him) Tujhe kuch jyada hi Curiosity nahi ho tahi??

Abhi bobbed his head in yes.. While Manik rolling his eyes again got busy in tuning his guitar..

Cabir: See Manik, what I was thinking is that how would you know that who Is your 'The One' ?

Manik: Cabir Yaarrr, ye tera favourite topic h kya??

Cabir: Ofcourse, I need my Bhabhi too.. Haa toh m kya keh raha tha, dekh distract kar dia naa...

Abhi: Tu iski The One ko pehchaan'ne ka tareeka bata raha tha..

Cabir: Oh right!! Good Boy.. Haa dekh Manik, I was saying ki untill you start dating someone, how would you know that whether that girl is your The One or not??

Manik looked at him with a bad face and ignored him..

Abhi: Waise pehli baar, baat toh pate ki kari h ladke ne..

Cabir: Ye meri tareef h ya burai?

Abhi: Tujhe jisme khushi mile... But Cabir, ek loophole h isme..

Cabir:(raising his eyebrows) And that is??

Abhi: Isse toh Manik loyal rahega hi nahi naa,.

Cabir: Arre wo kyu??? Or agar aisa h bhi toh, kya ho gaya?? Apni The One ke aane ke baad loyal rahega naa.. Ishq toh tabhi hoga naa jab wo aayegi??

Manik:(strumming his guitar) Khud ko Kisi ki Amanat samjhkar, wafadar rehna, Bhi Ishq Hai!!

Humnava mere tu hai to meri saasein chale,
Bata de kaise main jiyunga tere bina!
Humnava mere tu hai to meri saasein chale,
Bata de kaise main jiyunga tere bina!

Other four were looking at him with astonished eyes for several reasons. Everytime they think this is the limit that someone can love a person even without being aware of their existence, Manik proves them wrong.. Always!!

Anahita: (pouring cutely) Shi Maa, i-kream..
[Ishi Maa, Ice Cream]

Ishita:(glaring her softly) No Anahita, no ice cream..

Listening her Anahita's face fell and she pouted cutely..

Well right now Anahita have came for an evening walk in a nearby park with her Shi Maa. And after playing here for good one hour, enjoying all the swings and troubling her Shi Maa a bit they both moved out of the park when Anahita's gaze fell on ice-cream vendor, and being the foodie baby with ice cream topping her food list always, her eyes shone. But when Ishita denied her sha made a bad face and started walking with her Shi Maa holding her hand and looking at the ice cream vendor with longing eyes. Ishita stopped as she found a lady and started talking with her, and Anahita was still looking at the ice cream stall, when her gaze fell on a cute little puppy who was wandering on the road and she smiled brightly. She was looking at the puppy while blinking her eyes and without Ishita's notice moved towards the puppy. With her baby steps she stood near the puppy and kneeled down beside him and rubbed her hands on puppy's face cutely and when the puppy looked at her she giggled. But all this while she didn't noticed that she was in the middle of the road. She was playing with the puppy in the middle of the road.

Here, after talking with the lady Ishita looked down but panicked when she didn't saw Anahita around her. She roamed her eyes everywhere when her gaze fell on the road where Anahita was giggling playing with the puppy and her already big eyes widened more when she realised a Car in full speed coming on that side. She ran while shouting for her but stopped when she saw someone saving Anahita just before the car hit her and she sighed in relief.. She ran to Anahita and the person who saved her and sighed seeing her safe and was surprised seeing the person To be Manik who saved her..

Manik's Pov:-

Haa meri pyaari dadi, maine le lie aapke laddoo Gopal ke lie laddoo, and yes aab m ghar hi aa raha hoon..
Ji!!

I chuckled at my cute si dadi. Bhagwan ji ko khush karne ka koi mauka nahi chodna inhe.. Shaking my head at my dadi's adorable talks I payed the shopkeeper for the sweets and came out of the shop. Waise Princess ka ghar bhi pass me hi h, jau kya milne??? Nahi Nahi Manik, Aunty kya sochegi, roz roz aa jata hai.. Some other time!!Keeping the sweets in the back seat I was about to sit in the car when I saw Princess on the road busy giggling with the puppy. Haye rabba koi itna cute kaise ho sakta hai??

But wait!!!

She is on the Road??

Shit!!!

I ran towards her and my eyes widened when I saw a car coming towards her in full speed. The puppy she was playing with ran from her hold and she still was grinning looking at the puppy and I panicked. Just when the car was inches apart I pulled her and we were safe!

Thank god she is safe!!!

I looked at her watching for any sign of bruise and sighed in relief when I didn't find any. She looked at me and squealed loudly. Look at this girl, does she have any idea of what was going to happen and here she is squealing.. Nevertheless I took her in my arms kissing her top of the head, when my gaze fell on Ishita Aunty who was standing with tears in her eyes. I can understand her state.. She must be so panicked..

End of Pov.

Manik put Anahita down and Ishita scolded Anahita makes he look down sadly which was didn't liked by Manik so he kneeled down at her level..

Manik: Umm, Aunty rehne dijiye naa..

Ishita: Nahi beta, she is being too much troublesome nowadays. If it wasn't for you toh.....

Manik:(interrupting her) Aunty... She is fine... And she will not repeat this mistake again. Right Princess?

Anahita looked in his eyes to which he blinked them and she too blinked as if promising him, making Manik smile and kisses her cheeks which in-turn bought a big stupid grin on her face too, while Ishita was astonished with the scene unfolding in from of her eyes.

Manik:(cupping her cheeks) You're ok na Princess?? It isn't paining anywhere right??

Anahita: Ana a tong gurl. No pain..
[Ana is a strong girl]

Manik and Ishita chuckled at her cuteness and suddenly something came in Manik's mind and he started removing the black thread which was tied in his right hand and after removing it he started tieing it on Anahita's small hand.

Ishita:(frowning) Manik bete, ye kya kar rahe ho aap??

Manik: Aunty ye na raksha dhaga hai, although m nahi manta but meri dadi manti h and m unme manta hu, she says ki ye mujhe har buri cheez se bachayega and now I want it to protect Anahita.

And he kissed Anahita's hand over the thread while Ishita was looking at Manik with surprised face. Anahita smiled at Manik and then the thread..

Anahita: Potect!!?
[Protect??]

Manik:(laughed) Yes Bache it'll protect you... Always!!
