Destined to Meet- Manan SS - Page 3

PART 2

The door bell rang in the mid-noon.

The servant opened the door wondering who it was at this hour.

There stood an extremely beautiful girl with a huge gift hamper in her little hands.

She was followed by a boy wearing a checked-shirt and a black hat on his head.

Then came in a girl wearing shorts and a crop top, a cool-dude wearing a funky blue tee.

They were the FAB4..

They knocked on Manik's door for a long but did not get any response.

Still they did not give up on him.

They sat in the living room relaxing.

Then the doors of a room in the 1^st floor slightly opened.

A tall man neatly shaven, hairs gelled up perfectly, wearing an ironed white shirt with a black tuxedo came down with his usual charm.

"Finally..." exclaimed Alya.

"Manik Malhotra is back" said Mukti hugging him tightly.

Dhruv came forward and hugged him too.

Cabir too came forward for a hug and then the FAB5 had a group hug marking a new start.

It had been a month now that they had met their friend after the funeral.

They tried all the ways to get back Manik just the way he was. But none of their plans worked.

But then Manik realized how much everyone craved for his happiness in theirs, and hence he had to take up this decision to face the world... All alone.

Therefore he plastered a fake smile on his face and came down to find their glistening faces.

He then slowly walked to a garland hanged around a photo.

He pressed his fingers on the beautiful smile of hers.

A tear escaped.

This did not go unnoticed by his friends.

But still Manik did not let go off his position.

And then he heard the guitar strings.

"Yaaron dosti badii hii haseen hain..." Dhruv took off and the rest joined him.

Soon Manik too joined them. They relived their college days.
