Chapter 44

Manik and Nandini were still hugging
eachother by getting lost in their own world and seeing them this way gave
immense happiness to our new gang of cupids ie. Fab4 bt stil they decided to
have some fun with them so they made a serious face and went to MaNan and Mukti
with a stern voice then said

Mukti:Whats happening guys..ye sab
kya tha..

Listening her voice manan came back to their senses and then breaking
their hug they then looked around and found too many gazes fixed on them
especially of fab4's with lots of
questns in them.They both stood up and then realisation hit Nandini tht their
secret is finally out.She got worried thinking abt their reaction so in a
trembling voice she spoke

Nandini:Vo guys actually..

She wntd to say a lot bt ws nt able
to frame a proper sentence for it so she jst looked at them helplessly and then
looked down in fear.Manik too stood their silently without uttering
anywords.Dhruv then spoke

Dhruv:Buddy and Nandini..seriously
guys..u had hide this from us..we didn't expected this from u both especially
from u Nandini..

Nandini jst looked down guiltily
controlling her tears from flowing down.Alya then supporting Dhruv then said

Alya:Right Dhruv..the one who made
us accept our love infront of the whole world had kept her own lovestory hidden
from her own bestfrnds..i jst cnt believe u did this Nandini..

Nandini ws weeping silently nt able
to look into their eyes while Manik ws jst staring her.Nandini taking some
courage then finally looked at them and in a weak voice said

Nandini:No guys..pls its nothing
like tht..u are getting me wrong..let me jst explain u all..

Before she could continue further
Mukti cutted her in between and in a sharp tone said

Mukti:Oh shut up Nandini..wat will u
explain to us nw..we are nt blind..hamne sabkuch dekha bhi aur suna bhi..and
aftr all this all I can say nw is tht u
jst cnt be our frnd anymore..

Listening this words from Mukti jst
broke Nandini's heart in a zillion pieces.The thing which she feared the most
jst came to her as reality nw.Jst seconds before wen she ws beaming with
happiness of finally having her love officially infront of the whole world jst
got vanised by nw realising tht she had lost this frndship which ws nw
secondmost precious thing to her aftr Manik and after hearing from Mukti tht
she cnt be their frnd anymore she couldn't control her tears anymore and
sobbingly with tearful eyes she started saying.

Nandini:Guys..m really sry pls dnt
say this..

Seeing her crying this way evryone
got startled and ran to her quickly whereas Manik aftr seeing her tears jst
couldn't hold back himself and huging her strted wiping her tears and strted to
shush her down.Mukti rushed to her and pulled Manik away from Nandini and then she
and Alya sidehugged her from both sides with Cabir and Dhruv hugging her from
bhind and then Mukti spoke.

Mukti:OMG..my crying babydoll..jst
stop ur tears..yaar we were jst joking..bt tum to seriously rone lag gayi..aww
pls pls stop crying..

Alya:Ya really.. Manik jst tell her
to stop crying na and u Nandini pls dnt cry more na. see we are all really
sry..and we were really joking yaar..

Seeing evryone suddenly hugging her
this way Nandini stopped crying and looked at them with confusion in her eyes
and in a weeping tone then spoke

Nandini:Bt u jst nw said ke I cnt be
ur frnd anymore na..

Mukti:Arey dumbo..pehli meri puri
baat to sun leti na ..i ws saying tht nw u cnt be jst frnd to us coz nw ur a
part of our family..our fab5 family aftrall nw ur our bhabhi na..stupid..

Nandini ws in shock as she jst
couldn't believe wat she ws listening.She looked at Manik and found him
smilingly looking at her and seeing him smiling made Nandini smile too bt still
this confusion ws nt over for her so she then looked back at othrs and in
astonished tone said

Nandini:Guys..i jst dnt believe wats
happening around me..i mean jst few secs before tumlog mujpe aise shout kar
rahe the and nw all of a sudden u guys are hugging me and saying all this..so
does it means ke u guys are nt angry with me anymore for hidng all this from u
all..

Alya smilingly:No Nandini..we are nt
angry with u anymore..infact ham kabhi tumse gussa the hi nahi..we were jst
acting u knw..

Mukti:Ofcourse..aftrall acting karne
ka copyright sirf tumdono ke paas nahi hai na Mr&Ms. Pretend Bf-Gf..and
anyways y the hell wud we be angry on u aftrall galti sirf tumhari thode
hai..this moron Manik bhi to equally involved tha na iss me so y wud we blame u
alone..

Dhruv:Ya right..and actually dekha
jaye to we are very happy tht u are in love with my buddy as nw we dnt have to
bare his uncontrolled anger anymore coz nw we have u with us who can calm down
this angry hulk..aur vaise bhi wen we are getting such an angel like u coming
in our family so y the hell wud we be angry as nw we can have u forever with us
with no fear of losing u to someone outsider someday so rightnw hamlogo se
jyada lucky aur happy koi nahi hai yaha aftr seeing u guys accepting ur love..

Cabir:So my dear sis frm nw I can officially
call u as my Nandini bhabhi..

Mukti smirking:Yes ofcourse..aur
sirf teri hi nahi hamari bhi bhabhi hai vo aftrall Manik hamara bhi to
bhai hai..so guys lets say together

Mukti signals rest fab3 and then
they all shout together saying,"Welcome to our family dear Nandini Bhabhi.."

Manik and Nandini both started
blushing listening to this bt then our Nandini being the evr-emotional gal
again got tears in her eyes by listening evryone bt this time this tears were
of happiness and she jst didn't wntd to stop them.Bt her new family jst
couldn't accept to have anymore single tear dropping from her eyes so Cabir
then wiping it said

Cabir:Arey bhabhiji..aur kitna rogi
tum..ab kya yaha baadh lane ka irada hai..ab to sabne tumhe wholeheartedly
accept bhi kar liya to phir kyu ro rahi
hu..

Nandini jst smiled listening to him
and then the rest of the gang too joined her and asked her the same to which
she wiping her tears said

Nandini:This is bcz of happiness
guys which u guys gave me today..i jst cnt believe all this is for real..m so
touched by ur all words and m so happy tht u guys have accepted me as nt jst
like a frnd bt also as a part of ur family..

Mukti wiped the remaining tears from
her eyes and softly said

Mukti:Listen Nandini..firstly u have
to completely believe tht this is all for real and will stay this way forever
and secondly watever u did for all of us ws jst couldn't be done by a mere
friend..so evn before all this only we had accepted u as a family to us bt
today we are glad tht we got a proper reason and occasion to announce this
openly to u and the rest of the world tht u are and will be forevr a part of us
nt bcz of ur and Manik's relation bt bcz u are an angel for us all and we wud
nevr let u go from our lives..

Alya:Ya and jst like u said to Manik a while
ago tht u'll be with him for eternity so we wnt u to be with us too for the
same as nw u have become such an important part of our lives tht we cnt evn live
a single second without u..

Dhruv:Aur rahi baat buddy aur
tumhari relationship ki to we were always expecting for him to have a gal like
u for him and nw we are more than happy to knw tht its actually u only who is
meant for him..so u never evr think again tht we wud be upset for u nd his
relationship...

Nandini ws so touched from all of
their word tht she jst couldn't help bt stare at them with all the love tht she
had and jst smiled looking at her new family of true frnds.Fab4 too smiled to
her then jumped on her with a big tight
family hug.All the wholewhile Manik ws jst standing in his spot looking at the
scene which ws playing infront of him as never in his own dreams he expected
his wild and badass frnds behaving so emotionally and the way they behaved and
spoked to Nandini jst left him speechless.Seeing them adoring his gal with so
much of love and respect jst ws enough for him to die for it peacefully as the
two important parts of his life were standing infront of him so close to
eachother with only love in between them.Finally her lovely trance ws broken by
Dhruv who spoke

Dhruv:Buddy...ab tujhe kya alag
invitation chahiye to join us..

Mukti cuts him and then mockingly
says:Chod na dhuv..vaise bhi we have Nandini nw with us na so we hardly need
him in between us..

Manik made an angry pout listening to this and
said:Wat the hell guys...itne jaldi muje
grup se nikal diya..by the way she is my gf to wherever she'll be il follow her
there which means tumlog chaho ya na chaho il come in between u all..

Saying this he too jumped in between
their big group hug and stood beside Nandini and smilingly looked at her while
she too gave her the million dollar smile to him while the rest jst chuckled to
him.Breaking the hug,Cabir then playfully said.

Cabir:Sach bolu to guys rightnw muje
sabse jyada is baat ki khushi hai ki finally muje hamari iss gang mai ek aisi
bhabhi mili jise actually mai dhang ka khana banana aata hai varna hamari
self-claimed chef Alya bhabhi ke khane ke bare mai to we all knw na..dhruv ke
alawa usse khane ki himmat aur kisime nahi hai..

Alya hit him angrily while the rest
of the gang jst laughed at them.Nandini supporting to Alya then sidehugged her
and said

Nandini:Dnt wry Cabir..soon il make
Alya so perfect in cooking ke tum desperate ho jaoge uske hath ke bane dishes
khane ke liye and ul literally start begging for it.

Cabir jst gave her a sarcastic smile
while Alya jumped in joy and hugged Nandini.Mukti too then mockingly said

Mukti:Nandini k vajah se maine
anti-depression pills khane to chhod diye bt lagta hai ab ussi ke sweetness ke
vajah se muje diabetes ki pills zarur leni padegi..

Saying this Mukti came and hugged
Nandini along with Alya.Dhruv then in a serious tone then looked at Manik and
said

Dhruv:Bt on a serious note buddy..aaj
ke baad u are nt gona make our Nandini shed a single tear too otherwise I'll
forget tht u are my best frnd.

Listening him Manik looked at him
shockingly while the others too nodded in agreement with Dhruv.Seeing all them
this way made Manik completely shocked
so he then said

Manik:Wow..i cnt believ mere khudke
frnds aaj muje aisi dhamki de rahe hai bt dnt wry guys..its my promise ke aaj
ke baad no more tears will come from her eyes except of happiness..

He said this while looking straight
in her eyes and by looking in his eyes Nandini too could feel the depth in his
each words so she went and hugged him lovinglywhich he responded back with same
love.Seeing this adorable couple made evryone go all awww on them bt fab4 being
fab4 could never let any chance to have fun with them so they all then winked
to eachther and then Mukti said

Mukti:Vaise guys..sachme maanna
padega ke Nandini actually mai Manik se bohot pyar karti hai..i mean dekho na
Manik ne last 2-3 days se Nandini ko kitna pareshan aur hurt kiya bt still she
so easily forgived him infact ussne to uss incidents ke bare mai Manik ko ek word
bhi nahi bola...seriously hats off to u Nandini..sachme u are such an amazing gf
yaar..

Nandini ws hugging Manik tightly bt
then listening to Mukti's word her grip on Manik started loosening and Manik
too realised it so he jst glared his frnds to shut up bt to his badluck none of
them agreed to him and then adding fuel to this fire Cabir spoke.

Cabir:Ya seriously Mukti..teri baat
mai point to hai..Nandini Manik se hadd se jyada pyar karti hai to Manik chahe
kuch bhi kare Nandini usse kuch nahi bolne wali..jaise ki chahe Manik usse kiya
hua drink na karne ka promise bhi tod de bt phir bhi Nandini usse kuch nahi
bolne wali..hai na Nandini..

As soon as Cabir stopped Dhruv
jumped and said:Ya and nt jst tht infact kal subah Manik ko jaise uski fangals
kiss kar rahi thi vo dekhne ke baad bhi Nandini ne Manik ko kaha kuch
bola..this only proves hw much Nandini loves Manik kyuki agar uski jagah agar
Alya ne muje aise dekhe hota to vo to muje vahi maar dalti..

Mukti too joins the fun and
says:Itna hi nahi guys..kal jab rohan ne Nandini ko hold karke girne se bachaya
and then jab vo uske sath uski help karne chali gayi tab Manik ne uss scene ko
kitna exxaggerate kar diya tha by thinking so negative things bt still Nandini being
the awesome gf jst forgot all those things jst nt to make Manik emabarass na..

Alya:So true guys...Nandini I wish evn
I could have been like u yaar bt my or shd I say Dhruv's badluck coz I cnt
..and u knw y guys coz kal jab Manik ne
jo tumhe itna bada jhoot bola tht he
left u nd went to delhi and tht too
without evn informng m 110% sure aftr tht u mst have cried a lot na and still
2day u jst forgot ur precious tears and ur hugging him and behaving as if
nothing happened and ur this ability of forgiving so easily I lack tht too
badly..thtsy agar Dhruv ne mere sath aisa kuch kiya hota na to chahe vo kitna
hi beg kyu na karta I wont have forgiven him so easily for tht..bt u are jst
outstanding..

Listening all this double-meaning
praises made Nandini easily fall for this fab4's trick.So she then finally
getting all the reality check's started fuming in anger.She then with a jerk
broke her hug with Manik and then screaminly said

Nandini:No guys..m nt tht gr8 gf as
u guys think I m..

Fab4 started grinning seeing their
plan working while Manik jst looked at her dumbly.Nandini then continues says

Nandini:Thnx guys for reminding me
all tht coz I had actually forgot abt tht.

Nandini then turns to Manik and
angrily says:And u Manik..hw dare u do all this things with me..do u have any
freaking idea hw much I have cried bcz of ur stupid acts..and u didn't evn
cared abt me and hurted me so much..and hw cud u evn break ur promise..uss din
to bohot lambe dialogues bol rahe the tht till eternity I'll never break any
promise made to u and all..ab vo sab kaha gaya..i think uss promise ki tarah
shayad aaj jo bhi sare promises kiya tum to vo bhi ek din tod doge na..

Nandini ws non-stop blabbering
continuously while Manik ws trying to pacify her all the time and
simultaneously thrwing dagger looks to his frnds for ruining his perrfect day
and making him go through all this.While Manik ws going through all this
tortures our fab5 were having a tough time controling their laughs by seeing
Manik's this helpless face.Manik then again tries to convince Nandini by saying

Manik:Oh pls Nandini..jst listen to
me once..i seriously didn't broke ur promise and I swear I didn't drank a
single drop of alcohol yaar..pls believe me..

Nandini with an angry pout:Oh
really..nd wat made u think tht m gona believe u huh..agr tumne sachme apna promise
break nai kiya to uss din Cabir ne tumhara phone kyu uthaya and y did he said
all tht and nt jst him infact nxt day Alya ne bhi muje same chiz hi boli and nw
evryone is also saying tht only tht too infrnt of u..so nw u tell me ke ye sab
kya jhoot bol rahe ho..

Finally Manik couldn't handle this
torture anymore so he shouts loudly

Manik:Ofcourse ye log jhoot bol rahe
aur bolenge bhi kyu nahi aftrall ye sab unka hi to plan tha..

Nandini looks at him shockingly and
says "Whatt".Nandini ws still confused as she couldn't wat does Manik actually
meant bt her train of thoughts gets broken by loud laughs.She then towards
behind and sees all fab4 laughing badly.She stares at them disbelievingly while
they continue to laugh their heart out by seeing their forever smart nandu
finally looking so dumb.Finally aftr sometime with Nandini's angry glares they
all stop laughig and then Nandini sternly asks them.

Nandini:What the hell guys..manik ye
kya bol raha hai..

Mukti then comes near her and
smirkingly says:Before we answer ur questns..let me ask u something.

Nandini looks at her curiously while
the rest jst smirks.Mukti then continues:

Mukti:Ya so Nandini do u remember
frm few days we were planning to get u ready for a date with my friend..

Nandini ws really getting impatient as she wnted her
answers bt here Mukti ws getting her involved in someother topic so she
irritaedly says:Ya I remember so wat..and y are we evn tlking abt it nw..as its
useless nw as it jst cant happn nw and u
very well knw the reason so lets nt
waste time discussing it and u answer my questns.

Alya interupts and says:Ofcourse
Nandini..we all will definitely answer ur all questns bt first u have to listen
to wat Mukti is saying coz maybe frm tht u might get some of ur answers too..

She winks to her while Mukti
continues:So ya as I ws saying tht I had already gave a brief detail abt tht
date of urs bt didn't made u see him or met him as I said tht il make u meet
him only on valentines day so nw as I promised 2day is valentinesday so nw m
gona personally introduce u to him nd m sure ul love tht sight infrnt of u..

Nandini ws nw completely shocked and
confused at the same time as she jst couldn't understnd thts wats happning
around her as few mins back only they had accepted her as Manik's gf then hw
can suddenly Mukti can make her date someone else.She then with lots of
questions in her eyes asked Mukti

Nandini:Wats this nw Mukti..tum ye
kya bol rahi ho..u knw na tht I'm..

Before she could complete her
sentence Mukti shhshed her and dragged her and brought her infrnt of Manik and
then in a formal way said

Mukti:So Ms.Nandini Moorthy meet
Mr.Manik Malhotra my bff and bro and ya ur date for tonight..

Nandini ws completely stunned aftr
hearing and seeing all this.She looked at Manik who ws sheepishy smiling and
then looked at Mukti and others who were evilly grinning.Still in confusion
Nandini spoke

Nandini:So Manik is tht guy jiske
bare mai itne dino se muje bol rahi thi.

Mukti grinning:Obviously
yes..aftrall mere Manik ke jyada hot,handsome,rich aur tumse itna pyar
karnewala aur kaun ho sakta hai..

Nandini smiled listening to this and
looked at Manik who ws blushing more than Nandini aftr hearing this.Suddenly
our smartypant nandu got her brains on track again and she then then towards
the gang and with a serious face said

Nandini:So tht means tumlogo ko
pehle se hamare bare me pata tha na..

Dhruv teasingly:Eureka..finally guys
we got our genius Nandini back..

Alya:Ofcourse pata tha dumbo varna
tumhe kya laga aaj ka ye sara surprise tumhare dear monster ne akele sab plan
kiya tha...

Nandini surprisingly:So ye sab
tumlogone plan kiya tha..

Cabir:Obviously yaar..ye sab hamne
hi plan kiya kyuki tumhare dear bf ko romance karne ke alawa aur kuch kaha aata
hai so isliye hamne decide kiya ke ab ham hi kuch kare coz agar isske bharose
baithe rehte to pata nahi aur kitne saal laga dete tumlog apna love confess
karne mai aur agle 10-12 salon tak yuhi tumlogo ka drama contnue rehta..

Nandini glares at Manik while Manik
jst looks down in embarassment while Mukti says

Mukti:Bt ya Nandini vo song jo Manik
ne tumhare liya gaya and tht romantic lines which he said to u..they were
original work done by him alone...ussme hamara koi contribution nahi hai..so for
tht whole credit goes to him only coz it came deep from his heart and he
actually meant them..

Nandini eyes softens listening this
and she looks at Manik lovingly while he still continues to look down.Nandini
then again turns to others to clear the rest of her confusion

Nandini:Bt guys hw did u all came to
knw abt us and agar tumhe already pata tha to y didn't u all tld this to me
before..

Alya smirkingly:Vo isliye Nandini
coz jst lik Mukti said before ke acting karna hame bhi aata hai so we aftr
coming to knw abt ur brilliant acting ham sabne decide kiya ke evn we'll join u
guys in ur drama so hamlog bhi tumhare sath acting karne lage..

Dhruv:Ya jst like u were acting of
being pretend couple evn though wen u both were actually a couple so we were
acting of being pretend dumbs wen we actually knew the truth..

Nandini guiltily:M sry guys..bt
still y u all did this.

Mukti:Vo isliye bcz if u have
forgtten then let me remind u ke ham fab5 hai and there isnt any place for
secrets between us bt still Manik forgot this rule which he himself made so
thtsy we thought to teach u both especially Manik a lesson from which he wont
forget this again and along with tht hame laga ke iss sweet torture se hamara
revenge bhi pura h jayega..so we jst went with the flow and made this grand
plan..so isliye pehle hamne Manik ko torture kiya and then with his help we did
this lil torture on u too

Nandini shockingly:What..wait a
sec..manik ko bhi ye sab ke bare mai pehle se pata tha and he ws involved with
u in it..

She then with full frustration
looked at Manik while he looked at her guiltitly.Cabir then jumped in to
increase the fun

Cabir:Ofcourse usse pata tha
actually hamne bataya aftr completing his part of torture coz usse include nahi
karte to tumhara torture session kaise start karte and u knw wat jaisa ab
tumhara reaction hai na Manik ka bhi exact aisa hi reaction tha wen he got this
shock..so come let me tell u frm begginning so remember tht day aftr we droped
u hospital so aftr tht..

Flashback...

Aftr dropping Nandini at hospital
evryone reached to Manik's place and as decided they started practicing and aftr
practicing for a while fab5 decided to take a break and evryone got settled on
the couch and Cabir served drinks to everyone to relx themselves bt wen he
offered to Manik he jst clearly denied to take it.Evryone got surprised to see
Manik refusing for a drink so Cabir jokingly said

Cabir:Ab tujhe kya hua...tu kabse
drinks ke liye mana karne laga..

Manik smilingly:Well vaise hua kuch
nahi hai bt its jst tht ke nw I have realised ke this drinks can have such a
bad effects on our health and I dnt wna take any chances with mine as I wnt to live
a long and happy life ahead with my star..

He ws lost in his own world and said
the star word in a low tone while thinking abt Nandini while the rest where
stunned to hear such things frm Manik so Mukti shockingly said

Mukti:Seriously bata Manik teri
tabiyat to thik hai na I mean aisi high thinking teri kabse hone lagi..

Cabir teasingly:Aur vaise tu zara
phirse batana ke ye long and happy life tu kiske sath spend karna chahta hai vo
kya hai na maine thik se suna nahi..

Cabir's teases brings Manik back to
his senses and he jst shoot deathly glares to him and says

Manik:Kisi ke sath nahi..vo to mai
bas generally bol raha tha thts it..and anyways u guys carry on m fine with
this softdrinks..so jyada mat socho its jst ke kal maine tv pe ek health show
dekh raha tha tha jisse I got so
inspired thtsy I made this decision so ya thts the only reason..

Dhruv:Okk..so ye baat hai..vaise
buddy zara hame bhi to uss health show ka naam bata na coz we wud also like to
get inspired from it jst like u did..

Cabir playfully looking at Manik
then says:Arey Dhruv mai batata hu na..coz maine bhi ek baar uss show ka promo
dekha tha so if m nt wrong then Manik kahi uss show ka naam nannn..

Cabir stretches the name jst to
tease and irritate Manik while Manik ws feeling like hitting to Cabir so he
angrily jst shows his fist to Cabir and seeing it Cabir gets scared while Alya
asks him to say the name so Cabir then to save himself then says

Cabir:Ya so uska naam hai Naa piyo
aur Lamba jiyo..hai na Manik..

Manik gives him a sarcastic smile
and nods in yes to others while others who very well knew wats the actual scene
still contiues with their drama and says okk and decides nt to stretch this
topic as they had planned something else.So wen evryone were busy drinking and
tlking Manik ws busy in missing Nandini and ws thinking to get a chance to tlk
to her so finally wen he took a chance and to sneakout and call her Dhruv
called him from behind and said

Dhruv:Arey buddy.tu kaha ja raha hai..come
join us na.

Manik thn nt finding an escape then
disheartenedly goes and joins them wen Mukti then removes Nandini's date's
topic

Mutki:Well guys..mai to bohot
excited feel kar rahi hu..coz for the first time I'm doin this matchmaking
thing yaar and tht too for our dear Nandini..

Manik ws nt at all interested in
listening to it bt to his bad luck evryone else were jst tlking abt it
only.Alya then said

Alya:Ya evn m curious to knw whose
tht lucky guy who'll date Nandini and I seriously hope ke iss date ke baad
Nandini too falls in love with him..

Manik ws clenching his fist in anger
to keep control on himself while listening all this bt then Mukti made it more
difficult for him as she said

Mukti then eyeing at Manik:Ofcourse
Alya m tho damn sure ke aftr she'll see him na she'll 100% fall for him as my
frnd is so hot and happening tht evn Nandini will also fall for his charms...and
guys dnt tell this to Nandini bt u knw wat muje to lagta hai ke first date pe
hi Nandini might end up kissing him too coz u knw he is so damn irrestible..

And this ws jst enough for Manik to
bare as evn the thought of any guy jst touching Nandini makes Manik get so
angry and here his frnds were tlking abt kissing which ws enough for Manik make
go and kill tht person who dares to do tht so finally loosing his cool he burst
his longholded frustration at his frnds

Manik angrily:Oh jst shut up
guys..hw dare u evn say something like tht abt Nandini...forget abt kissing I
wont evn let tht guy to come near her and if still he dared to do this thn m
jst gona kill him right there..

Evryone smirked among themselves as
finally Manik reacted hw they wntd him to do.Bt still they wntd him to confess
it in proper words so decided to irritate him more.

Dhruv:Bt buddy...ye suddennly tujhe
kya hua..and Nandini ko lekar tu kyu itna possessive hone laga..

Alya:Ya right Dhruv..seriously Manik
y all of this sudden outburst I mean we are also her frnd bt we didn't reacted
the way u did jst nw..

Mukti to provoke him more then
says:Ha Manik bolna akhir teri problm kya ha..aur vaise bhi Nandini ke liye
hamne kisi prince charming se kam nahi dhunda hai neither in his looks and nor
in his intensity of love for her..agar tujhe believe nahi hota to thik hai I'll
show u his pic aur phir tu bhi man jayega ke Nandini ke liye aur koi perfect ho
hi nahi sakta jo usse itna pyar kare..

Saying this she took her cell and
smirkingly tried showing him the guy's pic bt till then their plan had actually
worked as Manik's anger had finally reached its peak so he without looking at the
pic he loudly yells.

Manik:Jst stop this nonsense
guys..and dnt u evn dare to again say this coz there's noone whose gona love
her more than me..yes guys I Love Nandini and she's my gf so dnt u evn think of
taking her away from me coz I cnt live without her..

He went on his knees helplessly
while saying all this nt able to handle himself anymore and finally aftr
listening him confessing evrything evryone hi-fied eachother and they all too
then went on their knees to tlk with him.Mukti then bringing her cell infront
of his eyes then said

Mukti:Mr.Manik Malhotra itna kuch
bolne se pehle ek-bar ye pic to dekhleta ke akhir ham Nandini ki date fix kiske
sath rahe hai..

Manik then weakly glances at her
cell and aftr seeing his own pic in it his face jst gets lightened up and he
immediately then happily looks at his frnds and finds them smirking at him.

Manik happily:It means guys..tumlog
muje hi Nandini ka date banane wale the..

Mukti:Ofcourse dumbo..aur tujhe kya
laga ke hamlog bas naam ke tere besties hai jo ham tujhse aise hi tera pyar
chin lenge..

Manik smilingly:Bt tumlogo ko pata
kaise chala..kahi Cabir tune to inhe nahi bataya na..

Cabir angrily:Oh hello..maine kuch
nahi bola samjha tu..saale teri kudki carelessness ki vajah se teri band baji
hai aur tu mujhpe bill phad raha hai..

Manik confusingly:Meri carelessness
se matlab..

Dhruv:Matlab ye buddy ke tht we
agree tht u have turned blind in Nandini's love bt it ws really stupid of u to
consider us being blind too..

Manik still in confusion:Wat are u
saying buddy..say it clear na..

Mukti then takes Manik's cell the
table and then shows him and says smirkingly

Mukti:Manik mai batati hu tujhe sab
clearly bt pehle tu zara ye bata ke tujhe kya laga ke tere phone mai kuch
special feature hai jisse tera screensaver sirf tujhe hi dikhega aur hame
nahi..ya fir tujhe laga ke hamari eyesight itni kharab hai jisse hame ye kabhi
dikhega hi nahi..so kamine we agree ke itne time tak tumlogo ne hame dumb bana
ke zarur rakha bt sry to say u failed in turning us blind so hamne ye pic bohot
pehle hi dekhli thi and credit goes to u as tujhe apna yaha-vaha rakne ki vo
great adat jo hai jisse hamara profit aur tera loss hua..samjha..

Manik got dumbstruck listening to
them and stood at his spot while facepalming himself for his such a
stupidity.He then looked at them with embarassment and saw evryone smirking
looking at his childlike expressions and seing their smirks he too nderstood
tht they are nt pissed at him bt still he apologised.

Manik:Vo guys m sry I knw I shdnt
have hide this frm u all bt the sitution forced us too..

He ws gona say more bt Dhruv cut him
in between and said

Dhruv:Oh jst chill buddy..tujhe hame
apologise karne ki koi zarurat nahi hai okk..so relax we are bestfrnds..we are
fab5 we dnt need such formalities between us samjha tu..

Saying this he hugged Manik while
the others too joined them while Manik ws feeling so overwhelmed with all
this.Bt then breaking the hug Mukti said

Mukti:Bt a special note for u Manik
ke jst bcz we are okk with ur love with Nandini doesn't means ke hamlog tujhe
itni easily chodnewale hai for lieing to us so teri punishment abhi bhi on hi
hai..

Manik looked at him worriedly and
said:Wat kind of punishment..

Alya:Punishment of continuing the
torture..

Dhruv:Well sry buddy bt ya this time
I'm with them so ya teri punisment to khatm hone se rahi..

Manik astonishedly:Wat buddy..tu
bhi..bt still fyn bolo kya punishment hai..

Mukti:Good..so teri punishment ye
hai ke jo drama tumlog abtak kar rahe ho usse aise hi aage bhi continue karoge
and dnt u dare tell Nandini abt us knwing abt u both otherwise trust me Manik
tujhe mai chodungi nahi..

Manik:Okk baba nahi bataunga bt sirf
itna hi karna hai..i thought kuch scary plan hoga tumhara..

Alya smirkingluL:Oh poor Manik tumhe
seriously laga ke hamlog sirf itna hi karenge..bt sry Manik bt aisa nahi
hai coz frm nw onwards tum exactly vaisa
karoge jaisa hamlog kahenge..aur Nandini ko avoid karoge..

Manik shockingly:What..have u lost
it...kya bol rahi ho tum..mai aur nandni ko avoid karu..impossible u all knw I
cnt live without her for a sec nd neither does she so hw can u say like tht..

Mukti:Vahi to tera pnishment
hai..and uska bhi..bt Manik dnt wry hamlog itne bhi cruel nahi hai so hamlog ye
jo kar rahe hai iska outcome tu zindagi bhar yaad karke hame thnx karega..so
jst do as we say coz tere paas vaise bhi koi aur option nahi hai..

Manik helplessly stared at them and
then unwillingly agreed to do as they wnted.And seeing this fab4 cheered for
eachother and then dicussed their plan with Manik.

Cabir:Ha so since ur in our plan nw
so listen ke tujhe ab kya karna hai..

Manik dinsinterstedly:Bol jaldi..

Mukti:So the thing is ke valentine's
day tak tu Nandini ko an koi call aur msg karega aur nahi uske calls aur msgs
ka answer dega and akele milne ke bareme to sochna bhi mat coz vo to ham khud
hone nahi denge..

Manik hitted the table in anger
while fab4 chuckled seeing his expressions and then Mukti continued.

Mukti:And ya college mai jitna ho
sake tu usse ignore karega aur usse bilkul bhi baat nahi karega and ya
finally..

Brfore Mukti could continue tlking
Manik's phone started to ring with Nandini's name flashing on it.He so
desperately wntd to tlk to her bt his cruel frnds jst didn't let him do
so.Cabir then snatched his phone frm Manik's hand and then started tlking with
her by telling his fake story of Manik being drunk.Manik ws so pissed on Cabir
for giving this lie as he very well knew tht Nandini hated this and nw she'll
really nt leave him so easily so he tried to stop Cabir from tlking abt it bt
Mukti and shruv didn't let him do so thtsyaftr finishing the call Manik tried
to take his revenge frm Cabir and then aftr getting tired frm it Mukti then
gave him his final blow by telling him the last part of their plan.

Mukti:So agar tumdono ka
tom&jerry show khatm hogaya ho to il continue with my plan..so Manik listen
as I ws telling ke kal college mai jab tera ignoring session khatm hojayega tab
tu koi bhi Nyonika ka reason deke vaha se bina Nandini ki taraf dekhe nikal
jayega aur usse bilkul bhi contact nahi karega..nd then evning ko mai aur Alya
usse jake ye batayenge ke tu delhi ke liye nikal gayahai aur sidha 2 din baad
aayega..

Manik angrily:What the hell
guys..tumlog sachme pagal ho gaye ho...do u have any idea vo kitna hurt hogi in
sabse especially jab usse pata chalega ke mai usse valentine's ke pehle chodkar
chala gaya hu..no way mai aisa tumhe nahi karne dunga..

Cabir mockingly:Aww aur tujhe lagta
hai hamlog tujhe aisa karne denge na aur tu tension kyu le raha hai pehle hamra
pura plan to sunle..

Alya:Ya Manik trust me hamne ye sab
bas aise hi plan nahi kiya hai..we have a special surprise behind it which m
sure u both will love it..

Manik looked at them puzzledly while
Mukti spoke

Mukti:Vaise vo surpise ke bare mai
ham tujhe baad me batayenge bt pehle ye sun ke hame maloom hai ke tu itni
easily ye karne ke liye ready nahi hoga isliye hamlog Cabir aur Dhruv ko tere
paas chodkar jayenge to keep an eye on u so tht u wont ruin our plan by getting
flown in Nandini's love..

Manik worriedly:Bt guys tumlog ye
kyu kar rahe ho..aise usse hurt karke tumlog kya hamara brk up karana chahte ho
or worst ke muje uske hatho se marwana chahte ho..

Cabir playfully:Well muje to vo manewala
idea jyada accha laga..guys lets change our plan na and ye hi karte hai..

Evryone laughed at him while Alya
says

Alya:Very funny Cabir bt Manik tumhe ye sab hamsabse jhoot bolne se pehle
sochna chahiye tha and nw since u have done this crime so u'll have to bare its
consequences too u dnt wry hamare plan se ham ye dono hi nahi karnewala infact
let me tell u abt the surprise nw which will cheer u up and then u can give
some rest to ur bursting nerves..

Manik desperately:Ha to jaldi batao
na..

Mukti:Well loverboy hamara surprise
ye hai ki aise tujhe Nandini se door karke ham pehle Nandini ko tadpayenge as
her part of punishment and then nxt day college mai tujhse sabke samne Nandini ko propose karwainge..

Manik with wide eyes asked
him:What..mai usse propose karunga..

Alya:Yes u heard it right..tum
finally usse sabke samne propose karke apna ye drama khatm karoge and m sure
iske baad Nandini tumhe easily maaf kar degi for hurting her so much as being a
gal I very well knw tht no gal can resist such a romantic gesture and with this
tumdono ki punishment khatm bhi hojayegi aur hamara revenge bhi pura hojayega
and then finally we all can be a big happy family again..

Alya said with a wide smile with
evryone joing and cheerin to her whereas Manik ws jst nt able to decide how to
react to it as he ws having mixed emotions playing inside him.He ws happy
seeing his frnds finally accepting his love and at the same time he ws upset by
thinking hw much he ws gona make her love shed tears bcz of him in these days
bt then finally thinking abt the d-day wen he ws officially gona propose her
made him blush very hard.Seeing Manik blushing this way Dhruv teased him.

Dhruv:Seriously maanna padega
Nandini ke pyar ka kuch jyada gehra asar hua hai Manik pe varna can u guys
believe it ke The Manik Malhotra is blushing like a gal..

Manik blushingly:Well its true..she
had actually a gr8 effect on me..

Listening him everyone went awww and
seeing his cute babylike face everyone went to give him a big bear hug.While
hugging Cabir said

Cabir:So Manik ye aww ke chakkar mai
plan bhul mat jana ke aage tujhe kya karna hai..

Manik sternly:Nahi bhulunga Cabir
aur vaise bhi tumlog muje ye bhulne kaha doge..

Cabir:Ha vo to hai..

Saying this they again continued
with hug while Manik in his mind thinks,"Sry Nandini for making u cry bt trust
me aftr this surprise I wont let anymore tears drop frm ur eyes coz m gona make
this valentine's day so special for u tht u'll never forget..so be ready for
it.."

Flashback over...

Cabir:So finally Nandini this ws our
secret or plan watever u may like to call it..

Aftr listening all this Nandini ws staring
them blankly and seeing her this way evryone were too getting impatient to knw wats gona be her reaction
and finally their wait got over as Nandini spoke

Nandini:Seriously guys..i jst dnt
understnd wat shd I say to u all nw I mean u guys have again did a fab5 prank
on me na..nd nw m so confuse tht whether shd I be angry on u all for making me
cry rivers bcz of ur this plan or shd be happy for making my 2day so beautiful
bcz of this.. and Cabir evn u too were involved in it na I thought u are my bro
bt still u..

Cabir with a baby face comes holding
his ears and says:Sry Nandini bt pls understnd yaar mai sachme dono taraf se
latak gaya tha..mere paas actual mai koi aur option hi nahi tha bt still maine
apni loyalty dono side se dikhayi and u have to trust me on tht..

Alya comes near her and hugging her
says:Oh comeon Nandini we knw ke hamara plan ne tumhe kafi rulaya hai bt u have
to admit tht ke this fab5 prank had for the first time ended up doing something
good..and vaise bhi havent u heard ke kisi acche chiz ke liye bola gaya jhoot
ko jhoot nahi kehte..so hamne bhi ussi proverb ko sochte hue ye sab kiya bt
trust me we were always concernd for u..

Mukti joining her:Ya and Nandinidnt
forget nw u are part of fab5 family so isliye hamne tumhara welcome bhi fab5
style mai hi kiya hai..i knw thoda hurtful tha bt at the end wasn't evrything
worth it..

Evryone were hoping for Nandini to
nt get more mad at him and give some positive response to them and so they were
curiously looking at her and seeing their curious faces Nandini smiled and said

Nandini:Yes guys..u all are right
the end ws actually worth to my tears...right nw aftr seeing u all having so much
love for us and knwing the real intention behind ur so-called revenge I have actually forgotten my all pain and m
feeling so lucky to have u all with me right nw..and Cabir I canunderstnd ur
problm so my dear bro u can smile nw and i love u guys nd again sry for hiding
all those things..

Fab4 except Manik comes and takes
her again in a big hug and evryone in
unison says,"We love u too Nandini..oops Nandini bhabhi.."Nandini hits them
playfully bt then agin continues with their hug.Finally Manik who ws standing
aside aftr seeing this hapy family reunion decides to join them so he too goes
and hugs Nandini bt to his utter shock Nandini pulls herself away from him
which leaves evryone baffled.Manik then confusingly says

Manik:Nandini..wat happn to u nw..ab
to tumhe sabkuch pata chal gaya na tht watevr I did ws bcz of them so nw y are
u still behaving this way..

Rest of fab5 too looks at them
curiously as evn they were clueless abt Nandini's this sudden reaction.Nandini
then angrily says.

Nandini:Shut up Manik..its nt like everything
ws done by them I mean kal jo vo fangals
vala incident vo to unka plan nahi tha na and then rohan vala scene evn tht
wsnt too included in their plan..right guys..

She turned to fab4 and asked this
and they too shook their head as yes.She then again turned to Manik who ws
looking with wide eyes at her.

Nandini:See evn they are agreeing to
it..so ab kya bologe..

Manik sadly:Ya Nandini bt usme meri
kya galti hu maine kya kiya..uss ladki ne to khud aake muje kiss kiya mai thodi
gaya tha usse kiss karne..

Nandini with fullon
agression:Exactly..mai bhi ye hi keh rahi hu ke tumne kuch bhi nahi kiya jab vo
ladki tumhe kiss karne aayi..tum to bas aise hi khade rahe aur usse kiss karne
diya..agar koi muje aise aake kiss karta to tum kya chup-chap khade hokar
dekhte rehte..

Manik went speechless hearing her
while Nandini continued:And then vo rohan ne meri help karne ke liye muje hold
kiya to tumhe kitni problm ho rahi thi bt jab uss ladki ne tumhe kiss kiya to
kya muje problm nahi hui hogi..bt tum kyu mere bare mai sochoge tumhe to ye
sara attention bohot pasand hai na mai hi stupid thi jo hamesha tumhari
possessiveness ke bare mai sochkar har kisi se distance maintain karti hu jab
ki tumhe to meri kuch nahi padi hai..an u knw wat m taking my words back I wont
stay with u for eternity coz tum kaha khud mere paas hoge tum to tumhari un
bimbo fangals se hi chipke rahoge na so go stay with them only bye..

Saying this she started walking away
bt Manik ws jst smiling seeing his love so openly accepting her jealousy and
insecurities which made him confirmed abt her deep love for him due to which
she cnt evn stand seeing any other gal near him jst like hw he behaves wen he
sees a guy near her.So as she ws wlking off suddenly Manik hold her hand and
with a jerk pulled her towards him due to which she went crashing to his
chest.She looked at him and found him smirking which increased her anger so she
started hitting him on his chest while he contnued adoring her smilingly.

Nandini protested toget out of his
hold and said:Manik jst leave me..maine bola na m nt tlkin to u..so go behind
those bimbos m having my fab5 family with me nw so I dnt need u..

Saying this she continued hitting
him while fab5 standing aside watching this scene were gigling and saying

Mukti:Seriously guys..inn dono ko
dekhkar kon bolega ke kuch der pehle ye dono hi eternity tak sath rehne ki
lambi-lambi bate kar rahe the aur itne over-romantic aur cheesy lines bol rahe
the..

Cabir:Arey dumbo..eternity tak to ye
definitely sath me rahenge hi aur ye jhagda to inka hamesha ka scene hai..bina
lade inka romance pura nahi hota..so dnt wry thode der ke bad dekh apne aap
coochie-coo karte hue dikhenge..muje kafi experience hai ye dekhneka..

Listening this evryone again
continued seeing their silly cute fight while teasing and tlking abt them.Manik
finally getting irritated with her silly rantings then holds her waist more
tightly and pulls her more close to him and then huskily says.

Manik:And y do u think I'll let u go
so easily Ms.Moorthy..tumhe pata hai na ke mai kitna stubborn aur possessive hu
tumhe leke so tumhe sachme laga itna sab karne ke bad mai tumhe itni easily
jane dunga..if u thought so then ur highly misteken sweetheart..

His hot breaths were sending shivers
through her spine and listening his deep husky voice Nandini stopped her
protesting him and jst looked at him while Manik continued

Manik:And the main thing which u
have forgotten is ke I have already made the deal with Chacha-Chachi of having
u forever for only me so agar tum khud chaho bhi to bhi tum mujhse door nahi ja
paogi coz Chacha-Chachi khud tumhe mere paas hi chod jayenge aftrall m their
future son-in-law..bhul gayi kya..

Listening this all of Nandini's
anger got vanished and she started blushing thinking abt her already done
marriage proposal by him to his family.She then to hide her blushes looked down
and Manik too as if reading her mind jst smirked at her behaviour and then
lifting her chin up he made her look at him and said

Manik:I knw Nandini..chahe tum kuch
bhi kyu na bolo bt I very well knw ke tum kabhi muje chodkar nahi jaogi..coz I completely
trust u tht u'll never break my trust and ur promise of being with this monster
forever..

Saying this he took his hand and
kissed her while still looking at her lovingly.Nandini too ws mesmerised by Manik's
words and all she could do ws jst smile to him which ws as an assurance to him
tht he is right.Seeing them this romantic way again,fab4 praised Cabir for his
accurate prediction abt them.Nandini getting back to her normal self then
encircling her arms aound Manik's neck then with a sarcastic smile said

Nandini:Well thts true for sure and I
cant deny it ever bt still Manik dnt u forget ke agar next time if I again see
u doing something like this na then trust me mai tumhara ye rockstar face na
kisiko dikhane layak nahi chodungi aur fir tumhe actual me puri life mere
sathme hi spend karni padegi samjhe tum..

Manik chuckled listening her and
then wrapping her in his arms he then smirkingly said

Manik:Tum agar aisa kuch nahi bhi
karogi na to bhi mai apni puri life tumhare sath hi spend karne wala hu bt ya I
promise I'll never let any such situation arise again which might hurt u..i
promise...and this Nandini's Manik promise..

Finally a big blushfull smile
appeared on Nandini's face aftr listening him so she jst hugged him and said,"I
knw u wont break this promise as evn I trust u and will always do..humesha.."

Manik then deepened the hug and
kissed her forehead.Fab4 then from behind comes and Dhruv says,"Guys..if u
havent forggotten then ham bhi yaha hai..and evn we trust and love u both a lot
so can we have this lovely hug too.."

Manan smiles to them gesturing as a
yes and seeing this all the four jumps on them for a final big happy fab5
family hug and they all cheer together by saying,"One for all and all for one.."
