Class.

Here manik was blabbering stuff to himself, that how he's going to deal with that tiny size who's shaken him to bits. The fact that he has to report in the auditorium for fresher party slipped out of his mind totally but when you have friends then how can you miss out on stuff? Do you really think they would let you miss stuff.
Manik got a class from cabir (his girlfriend) who's ready with his complaints every now and then. Manik was busy answering his questions like a good boyfriend.
On the other hand nandini who was standing ouside was still there. How come she won't talk to her own self.

Nandini: How could he kick me out of the class like that. I'm not his personal property jissay jab chaha use karliya jab chahye push kardia. This is clearly not the way to deal with a girl. After having dinner with him I thought he's a true gentle-man but no. Weird creature he is. God apko saray ajeeb loug mujhey he kyu dene thay? Like seriously. Don't you think I have enough drama in my family that I got such weird creatures in college too..

Nandini was about to utter some more of her words but then she heard a click sound of opening of the door, who else it could be. It was manik on the other side who was supposed to step out of the class. Nandini was not really in a mood to face him after what she did. She ran away but how is it possible that she would leave silently without making any noice, she panicked and pushed the banner which fell off due to her push. Manik stepped out of the class saw the banner lying on the floor, he smirked. He knew who did this and left for the auditorium.

Nandini reached auditorium before manik she made herself comfortable with her friends. Even manik reached the place he located his friends and hopped on the bench - which was far away from nandini's sight. Manik could easily see her but nandini couldn't. It was his plan not to be seen. ;)

The session went pretty good. They decided the dress code and stuff after good 30 minutes their professors and principal left the auditorium after giving welcome speech and stuff. Manik left before nandini could spot him other four too followed him they reached the practice room and decided to do some music practice as they've not done in a while from now - everyone took their respective instruments and started to jam.

Here, Nandini and navya were walking in the corridor harshad left for his place from the auditorium only as he had some important work to complete. While walking the heard some sound coming out of the music room. The voice was so melodious and sugar to ears that nandini couldn't stop herself from saying.

Nandini: OHMYGOD! This person sings so well. Like his voice is so perfect. I want to know kon gaa raaha hai. Chalo navya dekhte hain.

Navya: Haan keh to tm sahe rahe hoon.

They took some steps forward towards the music room but navya stopped all of sudden and yelled!

Navya: NO! We can't enter this practice room.

Nandini: Abhe you only said chalo and now you're saying that we can't. Are you okay?

Navya: Haan. Ham abhe toh theek hain lekin agar iss practice room me gaye to maaloom nae aik piece mein wapis ayenge ya nae.

Before nandini could ask her what she's talking about navya herself pointed towards a tag hanging on the practice room's lock. It was like 'Enter on your own risk, Fab5's practicing!'

Nandini: Phir se fab 5! In logo ka college nae hai! College is a free place we can go where ever we want. I don't care about the tag. I want to know who was singing. I guess its cabir - he's such a sweet heart. At least baki sab creatures se toh different he hai.

Navya: Hey Maata Rani ! Nandini tm theek ho na? Tumhe cabir sweet heart lagta hai? Rakhshas hai wo aik dum. Tumhe pata hai pehle din, khair usko choro. Kya keh rahe thi tum ke yeh college un logo ka nae hai? Yeh college manik ki mom ka hai abhe bhe you want to enter this place?

Nandini: Kya. college bhe.. So what! Me to jaungi. I want to see who's singing and you're coming with me.

Navya: No.

Nandini: Yes.

Instead of arguing nandini dragged navya to the music room where fab5 were practicing. Nandini pushed navya inside first instead of stepping first she had a doubt that she might run away. Manik saw navya entering something clicked his mind that mere moment - he faked a call and walked to a corner of the room where nandini wouldn't see him. Cabir noticed this weird behavior of manik even before and now. He didn't say anything then he saw nandini entering the music room. He smiled maybe he guessed the reason why manik is behaving like a alien between the humans. Manik left the mike the practice session had stopped the same moment. All four passed a questioning look to nandini and navya - navya who was scared already got scared even more but nandini being nandini. she didn't care about their expression or their anger for entering music room without their permission when they were practicing, started with her questions.

Nandini: Who was singing?

They didn't answer.

Nandini: Aray tell me na? Who was singing? Answering me won't charge dollars. I swear.

Still no response from their side. They're fab 5 after all. They're not bound to answer anyone. They stood like a body without soul. Manik, who was standing at the back so wanted to answer but he has a game to play. He can't speak, Mukti broke the silence and said.

Mukti: How dare you enter the music room? Your sense of sight works properly or it doesn't? Or you don't know how to read?

Nandini: What?

Mukti: What do you mean by 'what'?

Nandini: Why are you asking me that?

Mukti: I don't believe you're asking me this! Bahir tag nae parha? Kya likha tha?

Nandini: I did, It was like not to enter because you guys are practicing but what made you think that this college is your personal property? and no one can enter when you 5 are practicing. I can go where ever and when ever I want okay.

Dhruv: So when are you coming in the boys washroom? {This dhruv is not a shy guy, note it ;)}

Nandini: WHAAAT!

Nandini stood speechless that moment while other burst out laughing including navya and manik. Somehow manik got a hold over his laugh as he couldn't let nandini feel his presence over there.

Alya: This girl doesn't know anything beyond what and laughed.

But cabir being the nice guy 'for the first time' asked his group to stop as he couldn't let his group bully his bhaabhi jee more than this.

Cabir: It was manik who was singing.

Nandini: Oh. Okay. He sings well. :) -I Knew it-

Nandini's 'I KNEW IT' was heard by navya only.

Navya: Bahar to tum cabir to expect kar rahe the? she whispered.

Nandini: Hann? Wo.. No.. nothing. Shut up.

Nandini: Kahan hai manik?

Alya: What made you think we're going to answer this?

Before nandini could utter a word further cabir jumped in between and said.

Cabir: He got a call, so he went to attend it.

Nandini: Okay. Thanks.

Nandini turned toward navya and said that they should leave as it off time so they need to rush to their respective places. Navya nodded in agreement, both left the room and walked towards the exit.

Here manik too returned after attending his 'important call'. He told the other four that they practiced enough for a day now they should leave college. They too left the practice room. On the way when the other three were far enough not to listen any talks done by manik and cabir. Cabir started with his investigation.

Cabir: Manik? Kya chal raha hai?

Manik: What?

Cabir: Manik don't! Don't act in front of me at least. I know you okay. So, puke it out! Right now.

Manik: Han baba cabir. I know you know me very well. Chal lets go to my place. Yaha nae.

Cabir: Okay !

Manik: Hmm.

Cabir to himself: Itni asaani se maan gaya? Yeh mene abhe abhe The Manik Malhotra se he baat ki na! Like, yeh jab tak argue nae karta iska food digest nae hota ha and today. Something is definitely wrong with this guy. I need to find what's playing in his head. He ignored nandini. Wese he keep finding ways to stay with her. Manik baba chal kya raha hai.

After a minute long chat session with self cabir followed manik. Other three left for their respective places while manik and cabir left for manik's place.

Here nandini too reached her place. She went to her mom directly as she has the habit of telling her stories to her mom after returning from college but this time ella's missing in her talks. She told her every single event took place in college except for her encounters with Manik Malhotra. They talked about ella that how she missed being with ella at the campus and her mom told her that she can feel the empty space of ella's talks. As their talks used to be about ella only. She did this, she did that. They ended their session when her mom asked to go and get freshen up even she has work to do. Nandini left for her room.

Nandini's Room.

Nandini stepped inside her room instead of changing she jumped on the bed. She was lying on her stomach lost in her deep thoughts about the happenings of the day. The meet, kiss and then the argument after which manik didn't show his face to her.

Nandini: How eventful the day was. If I tell ella na, that me and manik are in the same college to shock se marjayegi or she might start with her destiny shit. Well. Day was crazy, insane and weird or pata nae kya kya! First I kissed him phir I fought with him. Actually I didn't kiss him It was him who kissed me. Oh God! What did I do to him - I called him my "brother". That was such an insane idea tbh. I shouldn't have called him that but then what I got it return! A 'kiss'. This man is crazy just to let me know what effect he has on me he kissed me.
WTH! Why am I smiling ! NOOO! I did right to him later. Acha kiya sunaaya that guy deserves it! Faltu me harshad se dur rahoon. Matlab kuch bhi. Why should I stay away from harshad who's he to tell me what I have to do and what not? But phir bhi I was rude. Kal fresher party me I'll apologize for my rude behavior but I asked him not to show his face to me, ever. Is he going to do that? He didn't show me his face after I said that. Is he really gonna continue this? No. He shouldn't take me seriously man. Me to din me kitni batain bolti hoon as if he listens to all of them. No no. He'll be fine tomorrow.. I guess. Well~ The first thing I'm doing tomorrow is apologizing to him yes.

Saying this nandini got up from her place, removed a baggy shirt and shorts from her cupboard and moved toward her wash room.
