MaNan TS last part : What is going on?!

"Manik WE have to talk" Mukthi said.

Nandini was trying hard not to smile. "Yes. YOU guys have a lot to talk about.." She leaned down and kissed his forehead right in front of them. With a final smirk she left .

Manik looked at four of his best friends. His mental alarm giving him danger signal. Mukthi opened her mouth probably to shout at him but Aliya stopped her.

"First things first...Manik how are you feeling?"

"Umm..I..uh..I'm fine" Manik said trying to escape from the stares her was getting.

"Bro, tumne toh hum sab ko kuch der keliye heart attack de diya tha yaar!" Cabir said obviously trying to distract the rest of them.

"Haan...es chote se heart attack se hamein bahut kuch pata bhi chala" Mukthi said definitely not planning to let go.

All of them looked at each other for a minute silence surrounding them.

"That's it. Bohot hogaya tumhara secerets. I can't handle this anymore. Either you tell the whole story or I'm gonna kill you even if you are in the hospital bed" Mukthi said laying down the ultimatum.

"And when I say secrets I mean ALL your secrets" She said looking at each one of them and and a pointed glance at Dhruv.

"Kya..secret Mukthi aisa kuch nahin hain. Woh bas aise hi.." Manik words died in his throat when he saw Mukthi. If looks could kill...he would've been a dead man by now.

"I just want to know one thing. WHAT is going on?!"

Manik motioned Cabir with his eyes.

A little help bro!

And get myself killed?! No thanks I'm fine.

You promised .

Exactly. That package did not involve getting skinned by Mukthi

Bro! I'm desperate here.

Cabir sighed. " Mukthi meri jhansi ki rani calm down. This guy just came back to the land of the living, you don't wanna send him back now do you?"

Mukthi just rolled her eyes at him. Cabir continued "Since you are on a tantrum..." Mukthi narrowed her eyes at him. "I mean since you are a bit angry at Manik for a completely justified reason...I think we should handle things with a calm mind."

"How about we turn in all our secrets one by one" Cabir said.

Mukthi nodded. "for the first time you said something reasonable, Cabir"

"Oh! Thanks for the compliment" Cabir said . "Okay let's start with someone who was not unconscious for the last few hours...you know just to warm up before the big blast"

Okay, you're not helping bro! whats with all the adjectives? Manik asked Cabir, eyetalk ofcourse!

Cabir just smiled at him goofily. Well,you didn't think you're gonna get through it so easily, did you?

"Okay. So let's start with you Mukthi...just to warm things up" he said raising his hands in defence.

"Fine...I've been helping out Navya with the whole Harshad fiasco" Mukthi said shrugging.

"wah! Mukthi. Yeh rehab walon ne kamal kar diya, Mukthi to Mother Teresa. Hats off" Cabir said.

"Shut up Cabir!" Mukthi said smiling slightly. "Ab tu batha. Your secret."

"Mera secret? Kya baat kar rahi ho Mukthi. Tumhe ees maasom chehre dekhkar pata nahin chala ki yeh dil bilkul saaf hain. Hai bhagwan yeh kaisa samana aa gaya.."

"Ooye ! bas kar tera nautanki" Mukthi said rolling her eyes and "aur jaldi bata."

"Okay. Well, main ek gadhe ka life sort out kar raha tha" Cabir said.

"What?"

"You'll come to know about it after a few minutes" Cabir said completely ignoring Manik's glare.

"Who's next?..hmm Aliya bolo"Cabir said.

Cabir was sure that Aliya had nothing much to hide. So he waited for her to say so. But to his surprise there was complete silence. Cabir was confused. What did Aliya have to hide? He wondered. He didn't liked when he was not in on a secret.

"Aliya? You too" Mukthi asked clearly hurt this time.

"I'm so sorry Mukthi. I really wanted to tell you but mein khud itne confused thi ki ..."She looked down feeling guilty.

Cabir was curiously observing her. She was definitely feeling guilty he could see that. Dhruv who was standing beside her was shuffling his feet and he looked more nervous than her. He saw Dhruv taking hold of her hand secretly What the..?!

"It's okay Aliya. You can say it now." Cabir said looking to and fro between Aliya and Dhruv.

"Woh...kya hain ki..main.." All three of them were staring at her. Even Manik was surprised that there were other secrets going on too.

Dhruv and Aliya looked at each other. Dhruv reassured her with his eyes and said " Woh ..hum. We are together, sort of"

Three pairs of bewildered eyes met his. Cabir was the first to recover from the shock.

"Together...like together, together?" Cabir asked. "Par! You ...Nandini, Aliya?!" Cabir was totally shocked with the new revelations soon things began to fall in place.

"You asked me na..ki whom I've kissed?" Dhruv continued " Well it's .."

"Aliya" Cabir completed for him. After a moment he looked at Manik and burst out laughing.

"Mukthi's jaw dropped open. She was too shocked to ask or say anything.

Manik was still staring at his buddy. Did he hear it right? Dhruv kissed Aliya and they were kind of together. It took him a few more seconds to react.

"What the *#@*@#* @#**#**?" manik burst out. Dhruv braced himself. This was what he had feared. He was angry at him for going out with his ex girlfriend. Dhruv looked down feeling guilty.

"Yeh tumne pehle kyun nahin bataya?" Manik asked after his shower of curses. Dhruv looked up confused "Pehle?!" he asked totally confused. Cabir was now literally rolling on the floor laughing.

Mukhi was now gaping at the two. She felt like she might go crazy any moment.

"I can't believe it!" Manik continued"..I went through all of that and broke up with Nandini ..for nothing?!"

"You broke up with Nandini?!" Aliya, Dhruv and Mukthi asked together another wave of shock passing through them.

"Okay! Enough. Enough!" Mukthi said desperately. "Can some one please tell me in simple language ki kaun kiske saath hain?!"

Cabir still chuckling motioned with his hands to himself. "I will. Oh God this is sooo .." he chukled again.

"CABIR!" Mukthi said.

"All right. Alright correct me if I'm wrong." He told Manik , Aliya and Dhruv." This is what I think happened. Okay after Aliya and Manik broke up, Manik and Nandini begen to get close to each other and you started going out right?" Cabir asked Manik.

"Sort of" he said and agreed.

"Dhruv who was unaware of these developments realized his feelings foe Nandini during this time. I think Aliya knew about it before the rest of us. Right Aliya?"

She nodded.

"So when Manik came to know about Dhruv's feelings for Nandini. He sacrificed his love for him and broke up with her. Am I right or am I right?" Cabir asked Manik.

"No..not exactly..well" Manik said but when he saw Cabir's raised eyebrows he gave up "Kind of" he areed quietly.

Dhruv was silent. He was angry and sad at the same time he felt guilty. A lot of emotions were passing through him.

"So Nandini rejected Dhruv because she was in love with this gadha" Cabir said.

"It's not love"Manik mumbled and the rest of them totally ignored him

"Soon after which Dhruv and Aliya grew closer?"Cabir continued with his hypothesis. Dhruv and Aliya just nodded.

"So finally this mess with the love triangles was because our kids here were confused between love and infatuation. Dhruv was infatuated with Nandini but he mistook it to be love. Manik loved Nandini but mistook it to be infatuation."

"It's not love" Manik mumbled again out of habit.

"Shut up." All of them barked at him.

"Same was the case with Aliya. She was infatuated with Manik for a long time that she was confused about her feelings for Dhruv. Right Aliya?" Again she nodded.

"So that's it. The story in brief presented to you by Cabir the love guru" He bowed down at them.

Mukthi rolled her eyes and said " In short Manik and Nandini...Dhruv and Aliya." She chuckled. "who would've thought about that?"

She looked at Cabir who was trying hard not to laugh. She chucked once and began to laugh along with cabir. Laughter is contagious so after a few minutes even Dhruv and Aliya joined them chucking lightly. Manik gave up and smiled atlast and the fab 5 laughed their hearts out.

"Okay!" Mukthi said. "Eventhough I'm noy yet done with you guys, this calls for a group hug" And they had a group hug around the patient.

It was evening after their secret sharing session. Fab 5 was busy sharing the details and beating the hell out of each other when Nandini along with Navya came in to check on Manik.

Nandini went straight to Manik and sat on the chair next to his bed rather than on his bed. Afterall Navya was with her and she had to keep her secret.

But Manik had other ideas in mind.

"Manik how are you feeling?" She asked.

"I'm feeling happy" he said and pulled her hand with his good arm "...and feeling loved"

"Manik kya kar rahe ho? Leave me sab log yahaan hain" She whispered trying to free herself.

"Toh?" he asked. "You didn't think I would let you go that easily after the little bomb shell you dropped, did you?" He asked his eyes full of mischief.

"Manik..Kyaa.." he words died in her throat when he pulled her even more closer and gave a peck on her cheeks.

As soon as Navya came in she felt flusterd. She was surrounded by the fab 5. But Mukthi came to her and reassured he. Even Cabir joked with her. She was feeling at ease when she saw manik kissing Nandini on her cheeks. He eyes widened and her jaw dropped open.

Cabir saw Manik and Nandini Yeh gadha ab aagaya line pe. When he turned around he saw Navya's expression. He exchanged a glance with Mukthi and burst out laughing.

Ooohhh! This was going to be a treat!!!Chal Cabir...Madhubala ko dhoda gyan dethe hain. He rubbed his hands together in anticipation. After all he needed a new entertainment ASAP!
