Cabir with the drum sticks in the hand and big headphones...Alia in a beautiful floral knee length dress.. and Dhruv... in his shy avatar.... with the guitar and his cap....Navya and junior fab5 gasped seeing them like this... they were mesmerized by their charm...."no wonder mumma you were a diva in your collage days...papa is lucky having you in his life..."...said Sid....Dhruv took Alia in a side hug and winked at Sid... and Sonia replied..."why not...after all she is Sonia's mumna"...and hugged Alia.... and Dhruv... they too hugged her back....where Sid showed his tongue...and everybody laughed...."are papa... aap to bilkul Cavya jaise lag rahe ho"...said Abeer and Cavya corrected him..."oyy idiot... papa meri tarah nehi... may papa ki tarah lagti hu"....saying this Cavya hugged Cabir... and Abeer immediately ran towards Navya and hugged her and said..."Jo v ho...my mumna is the best..."

"surprise... happy anniversary"....but no response..."Manvi immediately hold her ears... ran towards the bed..."sorry guys...we know we are late... but kya kare...yeh... oldies late hi itna karte hain"...saying this she glared at them and Cabir playfully gestured like hitting her... and she smiled.. then Navya lighted the candles and bought near the bed...immediately manik's face lighted along with Navya....and Manvi softly said..."happy anniversary mumma-papa"..."and kissed their forehead.but no response...it has been 19years they are in coma... after that accident...but unka pyar to dekho... they promised to be with each other in every situation.. and here they are...if they can't live together...or if they can't die together... they chose to be together in this way.... na Manik left nandini and na nandini left Manik... they are still together... till the stars shine and the fireflies exists.. .. Mukti came from back and said."happy birthday Manvi"....
junior fab 4 lighed the room with fireflies...and the celling was decorated with stars...written "manan " on it... they cut the cake.. feed each other... took selfies... and enjoyed a lot... after some time the nurse of manan came and said... they should rest now... and everybody said bye to manan and left....
now everybody was sitting in the hall... talking... laughing... having fun... when Cabir asked..."accha... juniors... sab kuch samajh aaya... but why did you dressed us like this?"....then Manvi came and hugged him from behind and said..."coz mamu... we want to know the fab5...we want to know about their friendship... about their love... about their passion for music... we want to know everything about them.... I know without papa its difficult... but one song... please for us"...junior fab4..."yes... one one... only one.. please"...Cabir looked towards Druliya and... Mukti... Dhruv stood up and said... okay... but you guys have to join us...".."okay...done" ..said junior fab5 together with great enthusiasm....Cabir stood up and went near the giant size picture of manan kept in the hall...all the flashes of their collages days came in front of his eyes...tears welled up in his eyes....he said with a heavy heart and soft voice...."humari YADEIN".....
