⏺Manik makes Announcement⏺
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Later that day manik was not picking anyone's calls , nor texts and was no where to be reached and this made Fab 4 tense like hell.

Mu - Why the hell he is not picking up the calls YAar?

C - Soha

And everyone else looked at him.

C - She's upto something big this time dude.

D - And I don't wanna get my buddy to get manipulated by her Like she did 5 yrs ago.

And hearing to dhruv everyone frowned and had worried faces Now.

A - Now what to do guys? We have to do something before that soha does anything to manik Now.

On the other side Nandini was worried also.

The flashbacks of manik going with a girl that too close was not giving any good vibes to her.

N - Mujhe Pta nhi kuch thk nhi lag raha hai. Kisse poochu main? Fab 4 mein se Kisi ka number bhi Nhi hai mere pass toh. Navya se Poochti hun maybe kisi ka number Ho uske pass.

Nandini goes to Navya and asks her the same.

Na - Dekh... Woh cabir na Kitna bada flirt hai. Sticky note pe apna number chipka ke chala gya tha. Aane do usse main poochungi usse ache se.

But seeing the sticky note Nandini hurriedly dialled the number.
Seeing Nandini being worried Navya thought to ask about it after the call.

Nandini went to the garden area to talk to cabir.

N - Hello cabir?

C - Nandini?

N - Haan

C - Kaisi ho Nandini?

N - Cabir Bhai... Main Aaj office aayi thi manik ji ke.

Cabir instantly made the call on speaker while Fab 4 were listening now too.

Listening to Nandini being present in office made Fab 4 tense more. 😦😧😮

C - Tum aayi thi Aaj Nandini?

N - Haan cabir Bhai.

C - Kitne baje? I Mean around what time?

N - Around 1:30 pm. Mujhe aapse ek baat puchni thi bhai.

Cabir looked at Fab 4 and was wondering that she doesn't asks about that soha.

N - Woh aaj manik ji office se jaate time ek girl ke Saath nazar aaye the. I Mean main jealous nhi hun but mujhe kuch thk nhi lag raha hai Bhai. Konn thi vo? 🙄

C - Woh... 😬

He looked others what to say... 😧

N - Bhai Boliye na. Woh kya?

C - Woh secretary hai manik ki.

N - Acha...

C - Haan. Tum tension mat lo Nandini Hum hai na. Kuch nhi hone Denge manik ko.

N - Maine kahan kaha ki manik ko kuch hoga? 🤔🙄

Listening this mukti smacked cabir on his shoulder.

Mu - Yeh kaafi hai sab pol khol Dega. Pagal. She whispered.

C - Aree... Nandini... Mera matlab tha ki tum befikar raho. Hum rehte hai na manik ke Saath 24x7.

N - Acha. Haan thk hai. Take care 😊

---------------------

At evening

Fab 4 gets a message from manik and they open the photo and was now worried that now what is cooking in manik's and soha's head now that they are organizing a party tonight and Fab 4 are invited.

Cabir sat down on the couch with holding his head.

And others just saw him worried.

D - Yaar kuch plan karna padega warna anything can happen to our buddy.

A - I know that bitch is trying to take place of Nandini Now in manik's life.

C - Woh toh hone se raha Alia.

Mu - But Humein abhi na manik ka ata Pta hai na uss soha ke dimaag mein kya chal raha hai iska andaaza hai. Kya Kare Ab jab kuch Pta hi nhi hai toh?

C - Iska matlab yeh toh Nhi hai na ki hum haath pe haath rakhke baithe rahenge? Really? No way. Karna toh hai. Agar Nandini ko sab btaana bhi pade Tab bhi main peeche nhi hatunga.

D - Are you crazy? Nandini ko yeh baat ki bhanak bhi Nhi padhni chahiye. She's innocent. She will get tensed more if we tell her this all. We will handle this ourselves na.

A - I think cabir is right. If we are clueless then only Nandini can help us and manik out of this. And I really think that we should tell her everything before anything dangerous situation comes up to us.

Mu - Cabir ke Saath tu bhi Pagal Ho gyi hai kya? Nandini ko befaltu mein tension mein daal raha hai tu. Waise bhi Parties manik organise karta rehta hai. Isko kyu Itna negative way Mei le rahe Ho? I think we should wait till the party ends.

Dhruv and cabir just looked at her and she said "what".

C - Agar tu kahe toh soha ka Manik ki zindagi se jaane ka bhi wait karlete hai... Kyu...? he said with sarcasm dropping off from every word he spoke .

D - Guys at this time we need to be together... Agar abhi Jhagda karenge toh this will only benefit that...

A - Bitch... She completed dhruv's words and then all four looked at each other now😈 smirkingly.

Showing that nothing will happen to manik if four of them are together. 😎
As now they 4 decided to go to party.

-----------------------

Evening ( Party's place )

Someone's POV

These are so beautiful... Such an amazing view to see tonight.
Lights are just looking like stars. Wow😍.

On the other side with detective mode on four people came in the party and searched for manik.

But then only a girl bumped into another girl.

1st girl -...

2nd girl - Can't u see? Moron.

1st girl - Hold on ur tongue you bitch.

This made the second girl snap her sight towards the 1st girl who was smirking with her other 3 teammates.

1st girl - Swagat Nhi karoge hamara? Miss poha 😂😂😂

2nd girl - Alia... Tum log yahan?

A - Manik ke dost hai toh woh jahan... 😋

C - Hum wahan... Kyu haina? 😜

D - Exactly...

S - Let's out a evil laugh 😈 . Tum logon ki wajah se pichli baar mera plan fail hua tha but not this time. Just wait and watch.

This made Fab 4 glare at her 😡.

Then after like an hour everyone heard someone speaking on the Mic taking everyone's attention towards that person.

Girl - Manik... She said to herself and smiled.

Fab 4 - Manik?

Manik - Good evening ladies and gentlemen.

Today with pleasure I want to tell all of you that I'm getting engaged soon.

And listening this girl's eyes fluttered in excitement. 😍😋

To... Miss Soha.

Girl - 😳😳😳😳😨😨😨😨😧😧😧😦😦😦😦😮😮😮

Fab 4 didn't expected this as well.

D - Yeh kya Bole jaa raha hai manik?

C - 😑😑😑 I just don't freaking Now know like what to do.

Mu - Thank god Nandini is not here.

Listening to this cabir thought " Ohhh shittt... Manik would have invited her (Nandini) also and that means she's also present here. 😨😨😨

Cabir started searching Nandini looking here and there and she was standing with the support of the tree and saw her in a very emotional state as she was also shocked with manik's announcement like Fab 4 were.

Nandini's POV

I was so happy listening to manik that he is soon going to be engaged and then I thought that he is such a famous business tycoon why wouldn't he organise such a beautiful party to announce such a great news as I was waiting for manik to say my name but that didn't happened.

But he took soha's name and I was literally shocked. My heart didn't believe what manik said Now.

All was just looking like a bad dream from which I wanted to wake up soon but it wasn't one. And this broke me more. 😩😞😥

Didn't knew that when the slippery glass from my hand hit the floor and it shattered into pieces like my heart 😞.

I wanted to ask him only one thing...

"Why manik ? "
