Cabir heard everything standing downstairs and he decided to divert Nandini's mind.

"Manik,Nandu !!! My eyes are hurting yaar,,Aur kitna time tak aankhein bandh rakhhu?? Chod meri behen ko" Cabir's lame jokes can work I guess.

"Bhai tu Kya khata hai roj k tujhe inta energy milta hai bakwas karne ke liye??" Manik recognised Cabir's efforts so he played along.

While Nandini giggled seeing the Tom & Jerry fight.

"Don't you guys get tired of all these fights??" Alya came in the hall.

"Kyun tujhe badi khujli ho rahi hai !!" Again it's none other than Cabir.

"Khujli !! What khujli ??" Alya asked confused.

"Khujli matlab itching Alya" Nandini said to Alya while laughing at the drama going infront of her.

Manik & Cabir both eyed eachother towards a laughing Nandini & they sighed in relief.

"Cabir you bloody...." Alya was about to grab Cabir but he was faster & ran outside leaving a fuming Alya behind.

"Cabir ka kuch nahi Ho sakta" Mukti & Navya said in unison seeing Cabir & Alya running.

After greeting eachother a warm good morning,everybody settled themselves on the couch.

"Choti Tera college kabse start hone wala hain??" Mukti asked.

"From tomorrow" Nandini said sadly.

"Kya huya!! Isme sad hone wali Kya baat hai Nandu??" Navya asked all confused.

"I don't want to go!! Kab khatam hoga college?? Aur padai nahi hoti mujhse !!" She said annoyingly & all laughed at her complaint.

"Achha?? Toh kya hoga apse batao zara!!"

Nandini failed to notice the tease behind Manik's question.

"Mujhse !!??" She asked and started to think deeply like a kid does whenever asked to have anything favourite from their choice.

"Mujhse naa vacations honge !!! Mujhse khana,peena hoga,Mujhse sona bhi hoga!! Aur bohot Kuch bhi hoga paar abhi yaad nahi aaraha Mani" She said all excitedly but sadly at the end as she couldn't remember what else she can do.

"Wooww.. Itna kuch ho payega mere bachhe sey !!??" Manik said gritting his teeth out of love & pulling Nandu's cheek

"Are you trying to make fun of me??" Nandini asked confusingly.

"Kyun?? You felt bad??" Manik asked & Nandini nodded her head in negative mouthing a simple "Nahi toh"

"Then toh I was" Manik said nodding his head.
(Copied from my favourite Diwali episode but changed the topic,Hope you won't mind 😉)

Nandini glared at him & said "Manikk youuu"

"Achha Achha!! Relax baba,,I was joking baby" Manik said holding Nandini's both hands in his one grip. While everyone was adoring & smiling at their cuteness.

Mukya blessed them inaudibly.

After some more talking they finished their breakfast while Manik was as usual busy in feeding a stubborn Nandini.
____________

The girls were watching a romantic movie while boys were at the lawn talking about that stalker.They were normal in front of girls as they didn't want them to get worried and scared.

They sneaked from girls saying that it's some boys time & the girls without any argue let them go.

"Buddy,,kuch Pata chala uss stalker ka??" Dhruv asked.

"Ha buddy,,Thom called me in the morning that guy is from Nandini's college,Rohan naam hai uska...."And Manik told Cabir & Dhruv about the cheap gifts sent by the stalker.

"Us kamine Ki toh...." Cabir almost lashed out while Manik stopped him.

"Guys,,I just want to be careful about this..Its about Nandini..Aur rahi baat uss Rohan Ki then he's breathing his last,I promise.." Manik's eyes were red.

"We need to be careful around her.. Aur kalse her classes will start,,What if that boy tries to harm her in college??" Dhruv's point was right but Manik Malhotra can never be under prepared!!

Hearing Dhruv,Manik smirked "I know woh kal Nandini sey definitely Milne ayega & It'll be his last day tomorrow"

Cabir too smiled evilly getting Manik's smirk.

__________
Next Day

"Manik jaldi chalao,fast fast!! Aur tezz" Nandini was enjoying her ride sitting at the passenger seat while Manik was driving way more faster than the *limited speed restriction for Nandini*

"Nandu tum please shant behtho Aur Manik ko chalane do dhyan sey" Navya who was sitting behind said.

"Nandini isse tezz is not allowed baba.." Manik said to Nandini lovingly.

Nandini nodded in affirmation.

"Achha baby,you remember na whatever I said to you??" Manik was worried.

Though situations are under his control but still their's an unknown fear that was engulfing him.

"Yes,Sir" Nandini said saluting him.

"Nandini I'm serious" Manik was worried beyond imagination.

"Sorry,,Aur ha sachhi Mujhe Pata hai saab,,I won't leave my bag anywhere,,my phone will be in my death grip,,kuch bhi problem ho toh emergency call dial karungi & you'll be their..I won't run anywhere other than class,canteen,library..But Manik why so many restrictions today??" Nandini repeated everything Manik was chanting from morning but she too was curious about this sudden restrictions.

"Nothing baby,,aise hi bass" Manik concentrated on driving.

"Navya,,Tumne suna na do's & don'ts dyaan sey??"
Nandini asked to Navya but didn't get any reply as she was sleeping.

"Manik,Navya sogayi" Nandini giggled.

"Akhir girlfriend kiski hai??" Manik chuckled on his own statement.

Nandini giggled.

"Baby listen I'll come soon ok?? Lunch jaldi karlena without troubling Navya much!! Aur phone & bag should be with you always" Manik's rants are never gonna end Nandini thought.

And they reached college,With the break Navya's sleep broke"Kya kya huya ??"

Nandini laughed and said "We've reached Navu,,Lets go"

After getting down Manik opened the door for Nandini & Navya both;Nandini jumped down & hugged Manik "I'm already missing you,,nahi jaatein hai Na college please"

"What's wrong bachha,,Meri Nandini to wants to be the best doctor,Toh fir padai kyun nei?? I'll be around & rahi baat miss karne Ki toh I won't let you miss me baby" Manik said caressing her hairs with pecks.

Nandini saw one of her friends and said a very very quick & sudden "Good Bye" with a smack on Manik's right cheek & rushed inside the college calling Navya with her too "Navya come fast"

"Take it easy Nandini,Don't run.." Manik said loud enough to hear for Nandini.

While Navya was standing there with Manik.

She placed her hand on his shoulder with concern "Manik tum fikr mat karo,Sab thik hoga"

"Navya,please be with Nandini,,don't let her go anywhere,,And please be in those areas we've marked for you ok?? Take care" Manik was worried though he was confident about his plan but still it's about Nandini.

"Don't worry Manik" She said with a warm smile & went inside.

Manik over the phone-

"Cabir they went in,Tu hai na apni jagah pe?? Don't even blink your eyes,watch them carefully.He shouldn't reach Nandini" Manik said to Cabir to which he assured him.

"Buddy you're ready right??" Manik asked Dhruv as they're on con call to which Dhruv too assured him.

And Manik cut the call.

"It's your last day Rohan,You messed with the wrong person" He thought.

Inside the college

"Navu you go inside I'll be back" Nandini said & Navya nodded but suddenly she remembers about their plan and hurriedly comes infront of Nandini blocking her way saying "Wh..where are you going ?? I'll come with you!!"

Nandini was surprised "Navya washroom jana hai bass"

"Haan.. I'll come with you too,kyun tumhe problem hain mere aane sey??" Navya was confused about what she should say.

"Aaj Sab itna weird kyun behave kar rahe Ho??" Nandini was confused.

"Tum sochti bohot Ho yaar,,chalo abhi " Navya tried to divert her question.

-----------

Someone from behind the wall "Ok so,Mr.Manik Malhotra you want to double cross me!!! Tumne Nandini k piche guards laga diya & you think you can stop me!!???" that boy laughed evilly.

---------

Navni were walking towards canteen after finishing their classes when a boy came and said "Navya,Cabir is here,,He was finding you.Toh I thought tumhe bol doon,He was searching you like a mad."

"Kaha hai woh??" Navya asked him to which he said "He is downstairs"

"Navu you go,Main humare khane k liye kuch leke ati hoon.." Nandini suggested.

"Ok,Hum jaa rahe hai,bass niche hi hai..tum jaldi aao" Navya said and went away.

On the other side

Cabir was observing every CCTV cameras keenly with other security persons with him,inside a classroom where nobody can come,It's in the back side of college.

Just then a girl came and said "Cabir go fast Navya is badly hurt,,She is bleeding"

Cabir was so shocked with the sudden information of Navya being injured that blocked his mental stability to think properly & without thinking anything he ran into the college.

______

Nandini bought 4 sandwiches.Two for Navya & herself each & two for Cabir as she knows how bhukkad her bhai is!!

She was walking through the corridor when another girl came & said "Navya asked you to go towards the storeroom,,Tum canteen mein thi usne bola,So, I was coming to you only"

"Why storeroom??Waha Kya kar rahi hai woh??" Nandini asked to which the girl replied "I don't know,,She asked me to inform you"

Nandini thanked the girl and started walking towards the store room.As she was coming close to the store room she noticed the path was unusually dark which irked her a bit and she started calling Cavya's name when suddenly she shrieks.

_______

Cabir was running inside when he saw Navya coming towards him while searching someone may be,He rushed and hugged her "Where are you hurt Navya??? Can't you walk properly ?? You're fine right?"

Navya was surprised with the sudden hug "Cabir Cabir Kya huya hai?? Why're you so worried?? And what hurt ??"

Cabir broke the hug and said "one of your friend came to me and said you're badly hurt!!"

"Kaun friend Cabir?? Balki your friend came to me and said you're searching for me,So I came" Navya said.

"No.. I wasn't searching for you,Agar bulana hota toh I would've called you" Cabir said.

Both were surprised,,they couldn't joined the dots.When suddenly something hits Cabir & he said "How did the girl know where i was?? & Where's Nandini??"

Everything got cleared to Cabir & Navya now & they both said in unison looking horrified at eachother "Oouuu shit Nandinii"
