Recap: Nandini convincing pandit ji to reconsider Fab 5 s album.

Nandinis workshop completed the previous day so she has some free time now. she thought she could try a little more to talk to manik. she searched for him in the entire college n spotted him sitting in the music room. After their valentines date she couldnt meet him alone. Now a days he was always with fab5 . But the actual reason was manik was with fab5 only during her free hours to avoid talking to her. Remaining time he used to be alone thinking about her. She went to him n tried to speak to him. Manik was surprised to see her at that time. He asked her " u should be in your class now. What are u doing here..?? Your pandit will miss u. just go to him n dont spoil my mood now." For that she replied " manik I just need to speak to you. I know its my fault. I did hurt you. for my mistake please dont forget our moments together. our bond is stronger than this right. we can solve this matter together " She couldnt complete her sentence. manik got up from his chair n got hold of her shoulders n said." If you really think that our bond is that strong then you would have trusted me but you didnt.. I dont want to listen to you just get lost from here." when she didnt go he only went outside. He dont know still how many days he can avoid her. Her tears started to make him soft but he is not yet ready to forgive her. After he left from there Nandini didnt know what she has to do now. She thought " may be its time for me to let him go ". That very thought felt like a stab in her heart.

She went to the stairs behind the music wing n sat there remembering their moments when she got a call from pandit ji. He asked her to come to the same orphanage. She thought before letting manik go she should make everything right in his life. she was determined to convince pandit ji completely to give fab5 another chance. When she reached the orphanage pandit ji was playing with kids. On seeing her kids ran to her n greeted her happily. She was very happy that kids remembered her. she felt completely relaxed with the kids. Even just for a while she could forget the pain of missing manik .

. After playing for a while nandini n pandit ji settled down on a bench in the garden. nandini hesitated for a while n spoke. "pandit ji about fab5 album..." her words are interrupted by him." i havent called u here for fab5 I called u here to know about u.".. nandini was confused. seeing her confusion pandit ji spoke" dont be surprised nandini., how r u feeling after coming here.??" nandini thought for a while n said " Feeling relaxed pandit ji., playing with these kids gives a pleasant feeling to the heart." pandit ji smiled n said "so whats ur ambition nandini..??" She couldnt answer his question. Then pandit ji called a small kid playing near by n asked " what will u become in the future.??" that small kid answered immediately that he wants to become a doctor with an innocent smile n ran from there. Both nandini n pandit ji smiled at the kid. then he asked her again "whats ur ambition nandini.??" she thought for a while n said. "my fathers dream is to make me a scientist so since m y childhood onwards i wanted to read science." Pandit ji gave her a surprising look n asked her "Then what r u doing in a music college.??" Nandini thought for a minute n said" i got scholarship in space so I joined because of my family circumstances. But im happy with my decision now." then he asked her" R u really happy with ur decision..?? then why cant i see that dedication for music in u..??" Nandini looked at him surprised till now no one ever told her that she lacked dedication. She didnt know how to answer him. Pandit ji saw her confused state n asked her " Let me ask u this way If someone offered u a scholarship in science college now Will u go n join now.??" nandini was even more confused now because she herself dont know the answer. Pandit ji understood her thoughts."nandini I know ur feelings. u have talent in music but u choose music because of ur burdens not by ur choice. thats why u are lacking conviction towards music. Music is a passion. U need to completely surrender to that feeling. You have to free ur mind completely to feel the beauty of music. but your mind is completely messed up with your personel problems then how can u concentrate on music. this is what i feel. But if u think otherwise feel free to correct me. n let me ask u one thing have u ever considered music as your career..?? Have u ever given a thought what you will do after your graduation from space.???" nandini was silent. She knew that what pandit ji said just now was true some where .They both remained silent for a while. Pandit ji also dont want to disturb her. He thought she should think about these matters herself. He left her there n went to play with kids.

Nandini sat silently at the same place n watched the kids play. Her mind was full of thoughts. her fathers words, her ams words, rishabs future n her dreams.. But the pain in her heart was overpowering her thoughts. Maniks words from their morning conversation have been ringing in her ears. she dont know if she can ever let go of manik. n she didnt forget her basic purpose of coming there that is fab5 album. She has to sort out that first. she thought she can think about remaining things later. Her thoughts were interrupted by pandit ji "so what have you thought?? " Nandini doesnt want to get distracted now. she told to him that " pandit ji I came here to talk to you about fab5 album n not about my life. so please can u help me or not.??" He was expecting this from her.." I know nandini right now your preference is manik and fab5 album I may help you about the album because I know many music companies but why do you think i ll agree to help them.?? They lack discipline n respect to the music. Talent is not everything right..??" Nandini tried to explain him that" That day because of the situation they behaved like that. They really need this album pandit ji." He cannot believe her., here he was discussing about her future n she was thinking about fab5 career. He thought he should help her by any means.. she was clearly neglecting her future. being a teacher he dont want her to be like that. he need to distract her from all these.

He thought for a while about what to do now. "Ok nandini you want me to give fab5 another chance right then I have a condition for that. I want you to come with me to my music institute for few days but when you are there with me you should not be in contact with anyone from this college. Not even your best friend or even manik. based on your improvement I ll decide whether I should give fab5 another chance or not. so ball is in your court." Nandini was shocked on hearing this. That was the weirdest condition she has ever heard. " whats the connection between my coming with you n fab5 album..?? this is just ridiculous. I cannot come with you." but pandit ji was also determined to take her with him." See nandini you may not know but fab5s reputation in music industry is not good after all the incidents and maniks arrest. its not easy to convince any music company to give them chance even for me. So why should I take all the burden for them whom I dont even know properly. So for me to do that favour you should also listen to me. Im not asking you anything major. i just want you to come with me for few days n I want you to cut your contacts with the persons in your life for few days thats it. Even you can inform them about this before coming. Dont give me your answer right now. Think about it clearly n tell me. In the mean time i ll try to contact music companies about fab5. ok.?? now go home n think. I should leave. Bye." After pandit ji left nandini stayed there only for sometime.

Nandini came home late that day after meeting pandit ji. She even didnt feel like eating. making some excuse she just went to her bedroom n crashed on bed. Her mind was spinning with all the thinking. what should she do now..?? to whom she can talk about this situation..?? If only things were right between her n manik then she wouldnt be this much confused. She knows that its a good opportunity for her to go to pandit jis music institute but can she leave manik alone in all this mess.? she knows that he ll be more angry if she goes away like that. He may not tell but she knows that he need her constant presence around him. Though he may ignore her he cant stay away from her n at present he is in his monster mode so he can do anything stupid in his anger. she has to be there to stop him right.? Her head started to spin with all these thoughts. Before going to sleep she decided to speak to manik about this n ask him to decide.

Next day nandini searched for manik in the entire college n found him in the canteen with fab5. When she about to talk to him alya insulted her in front of whole college n manik didnt even listen to nandini and asked her to get out of his life. she came directly to her house n cried at her miserable state n thought she should definitely need a break from all these arguments n decided to accept pandit jis offer. but she dont want anyone to know where she is. She wanted to hide from the world. She wanted everyone to forget about her. The next day she convinced chacha n chachi about going to manglore. She dont know if she will come back here or not. But she knew only one thing that she should get out of this guilt of fab5 loosing the album because of her first to make anything work. To make their album possible she needed pandit jis help. She called pandit ji n told him that she is ready to come with him after leaving rishab in manglore. The following day after saying her silent good byes to manik she left for manglore to make a new beginning of her life.
