Chapter 5 A

After being "kicked out" of Nandini's apartment Manik was really very pissed off. He drove back home. And as usual his caring mother was sitting in the lounge waiting for him.

"Manik..!! Beta where were you?" Nayonika asked hugging him immediately.

"Nowhere..!! Just was partying with friends..!!" Manik said and lay down on the sofa beside her keeping his head in her lap.

"Hmmm..!! Today Raghav was telling me that you performed with some other girl and you nailed it..!!" She said and ruffled his hair.

"Yeah..!! Raghav your reporter..!!" Manik made an ill face.

"Manik..!!" She playfully hit him. "Who was the girl?"

"The scholarship girl Mom..!!" Manik said closing his eyes.

"Nandini?" Nayonika asked and Manik nodded his head. "Ohhh that girl..!! Very talented..!" Nayonika complimented her.

"Do you like her?" Nayonika asked and Manik's eyes shoot open.

"Mom..!! How do you know everything..!!" Manik asked looking in her eyes.

"Hmmm..!! Well my brilliant son..!! I am your Mom..!! Don't underestimate me..!!" Nayonika said laughingly.

"Please tell me na?" Manik pleaded.

"Acha acha..!! Doctor told me that you came there with a girl in your arms...!! So I just guessed..!!" Nayonika said smilingly and Manik sighed. His Mom's"jasoos" were like everywhere.

"I don't know Mom..!!" Manik said closing his eyes again.

"Are you still not get over with Soha?" Nayonika asked running her fingers in his hair.

"Oh come on Mom..!! Soha meri life main kabhi the he nahi..!! It's just like I went to Nandini's house today...!! You know Mom she is not ready to even talk to me..!!" Manik explained Nayonika and she nodded.

"So that means kahani main twist hai...!!" Nayonika said pulling his cheeks.

"Mom please na..!!" Manik made a face.

"Ok ok..!! I have an idea..!! You na just ignore her..!! Then see does your ignorance effect her or not? If it does na..!! Then she will herself come running in your arms..!!" Nayonika said clicking her fingers and smiled.

"Hmm..!! Nice idea..! But Mom..!! She said that I am nothing to her..!!" Manik again become sad.

"Ohoo..!! Manik..!! Let her trust you first beta..!!" Nayonika said affectionately. "Young girls are very sensitive..!! You have to handle them carefully..!! Give her some TLC..!!" Nayonika said smilingly.

"TLC?" Manik frowned.

"Yes..!! Tender love and care..!!" Nayonika said poking his nose.

"Love?" Manik asked with an absent mind. "Do I love her?" Manik talked to himself.

"Yes..!! It is love..!! Although it is a waste of time..!! But Manik do waste your time as did with your dad..!!" Nayonika ended up laughing hard and Manik too joined her. "But before all this just ignore her completely..!!"Nayonika winked.

"I love you Mom..!!" Manik encircled his arms around her waist.

"Mom loves you too Manik..!!" She said and kissed his forehead.

...

Next morning Nandini was passing from the parking of SPACE suddenly a shiny black Car stopped few inches away from her, she gasped and tried hard to maintain her balance but in vain she was about to fall when someone hold her. She look at the person who was none other than Manik.

"Are you ok?" Manik asked her and she nodded. Manik helped her to stand straight. Meanwhile the owner of that black car came out. Manik look at him and frowned. He hide Nandini behind him.

"Are you blind Harshad Saxena?" Manik said angrily.

"Ohhh not at all Malhotra..!!" Harshad exclaimed shamelessly. "Who is the beautiful girl behind you?" He tried to look at Nandini but Manik didn't let him.

"None of yours business..!!"Manik said frowning his face. "Nandini you go inside the college..!!" Manik said and Nandini noddingly run inside the college.

"Stay away from her Saxena...!!" Manik said angrily pointing his finger.

"Oh Come on Malhotra..!! We always share girlfriends..!! You remember Soha?" Harshad said smiling shamelessly. And Manik felt like tearing Harshad in pieces.

"Yes I do remember everything..!! But this time I won't let you do this..!! If you ever try to come near her na I swear to my God I won't spare you this time..!!" Manik said patting his shoulder coldly and walked inside leaving a smirking Harshad behind him.

Chapter 5 B

Nandini run inside the college. She didn't dared to even look behind. She just run towards the classroom. Harshad's eyes remind her of HIM. She was too much afraid of Harshad. She was trembling with fear. She entered in her classroom and rushed to sit on Manik's seat.

"Agr Manik na ata tou? Kon bachata mjhy?" Nandini thought.

Fab4 were already sitting there. They saw Nandini sweating badly. They look at each other surprisingly.

"Nandini..!!" Alya who was sitting with Dhruv behind Nandini called her and placed her hand on her shoulder.Nandini who was still in that trance jerked her hand badly.

"Don't..!! Don't touch me.!!" She yelled and Alya was stunned on her place same as the other fab3. Suddenly Nandini realized her mistake and she felt very embarrassed.She immediately got up from her seat and came towards Alya. She kneeled in front of her and held her hands.

"Alya I am so sorry..!! I didn't meant to shout on you.!! Actually..!! I..I..! I was in a bad mental state please I am really sorry..!!"Nandini said lowering her head. And Alya being so kind heart made Nandini stand up.

"Nandini it's ok..!! We all are with you..!!" Alya said kindly and hugged Nandini. First Nandini was taken aback with the hug then she hugged her back. After so long somebody had hugged her so lovingly. Her eyes moisten. When they were hugging at the same time Manik entered the classroom. A wide smile appeared on his face. Alya broke the hug and saw Nandini's eyes moisten.

"Ya kya Nandini? Why are you crying?" Alya said cupping her cheeks.

"Nothing it's just..!! Umm thank you..!!" Nandini said giving a weak smile.

"No need..!! You can consider us as your friends..!!" Cabir said from behind and all of them nodded. Meanwhile Manik came there and everyone look at him. Nandini quietly sat on her seat.

"Tu kahan tha?" Cabir asked raising his eyebrow.

"Main Alya kay bhai ko smjha raha tha...!!" Manik said in a little high pitch sitting on the table.

"Before you tell us the matter..!! I am sorry in advance..!!" Alya said in an apologetic tone.

"Alya baby come on..!! Don't say sorry on his behalf..!! Don't get embarrass on his deeds...!!" Manik said in a reassuring tone. "I know how to deal with him..!!"

"He is a jackass...!!" Cabir said laughingly and all joined him except Nandini. Then the topic of discussion changed between Fab5 and Nandini was sitting quietly. At last the period bell rang and Manik sat beside Nandini.

"Manik..!! Thanks..!!" Nandini said in a low tone and Manik just hummed. He was following the advice of his love guru..!! His Mom..!! "Ignore her"

"Manik I said thanks..!!" Nandini said in a surprised tone.

"And I said hmmm..!!" Manik said coldly.

"You should be saying your welcome..!!" Nandini said angrily. "Don't you have manners?"

"Wohoo..!! Look who's talking? Do you have manners Nandini? I am nothing to you na? Then? Why are talking to me?" Manik again said coldly. Nandini wanted to say something but hearing Manik's words she stopped.

"He is right Nandini..!! You yourself pushed him away..! Now what? You stupid dumb girl..!! Why are you feeling so hurt? You have to bear this..! He is a human for how long will he tolerate your rude behavior..!! But what to do with this heart? Oh God..!!" Nandini was thinking all this and she felt like crying. Manik's behavior was very difficult for her to bear. During the whole class Manik completely ignored her. Nandini was holding her tears back. As soon as the class over Nandini rushed out of the classroom. And Manik became worried.

"What happened to her?" Alya asked worriedly.

"It's all my fault..!!" Manik said ruffling his hair.

"What? Your fault?" Mukti asked in a surprised tone.

"Ab kya kar diya tu nay?" Cabir asked worriedly.

"Buddy tu bhi na..!!" Dhruv said in a dismay.

"Guys stop it..!! Mom told me that if I'll ignore her she will give me importance..!!" Manik said making a face.

"Manik tu mjy itna bewakoof tou nahi lagta tha..!!" Cabir said rubbing his forehead.

"Right..!! Manik can't you see? She is tired of this ignorance thing..!! It felt like that there is no one to take care of her..!! She is in pain Manik..!! Although she is saying kay she don't care about you but eventually she does..!!" Alya said a soft tone and all nodded.

"Ab ignore mat karen usy..!!" Mukti said tapping his shoulder.

"Yes if you really want to be with her na then don't do this..!!" Dhruv said and all nodded.

"Ok...!!" Manik said. Now he was worried for Nandini. What if she would be crying? "Ummm guys I'll be back..!!" Manik run behind her.

...

Nandini came out of the classroom she was running aimlessly in the corridor.

"Why you came Manik? When I had got control on my tears then why? Why your presence making me so weak? I had promised myself before coming to this college that I'll stay away from Manik..!! Yai tou chahti the tu Nandini kay Manik door rahay tujh say..! Then why are you sad? It's better for him that he stay away..!! You can't do this to him..!!" She was thinking all this while running when she banged into someone. Her eyes were fill with tears. She look at the person in front of her and she gasped with horror. HARSHAD.

"Woohoo..!! Look who's here? Manik ki girlfriend..!! Why are you crying baby? Don't tell me Manik ditched you?" Harshad said mockingly. Nandini gathered some courage.

"Get out of my way Harshad...!!" Nandini said and tried to walk but Harshad stopped her.

"Wait a second beauty..!! Look main tmhy Manik say ziada pyaar doon ga..! Just be with me..!!" Saying that he held her hand. But what Nandini did next was not according to Harshad's expectations. She slapped him hard on his face.

"This is my answer..!!" She shouted. Harshad was standing in a shock he left her hand. Nandini was about to walk away when Harshad held her waist. He was now fuming with anger.

"How dare you?" Harshad barked. "How dare you to slap me..!! You bloody bit**..!!"

"Leave me Harshad..!!" Nandini's all courage flew away. She was struggling to came out of his grip. Those eyes were same like HIM. "No..!! Not again..!! Please no..!!" Nandini shouted. "Let me go please..!!" Nandini yelled but Harshad's grip was very strong.

"Ohh what happened now? Are you scared? You have slapped me na? Now you have to pay for this..!!" He smiled evilly. And started dragging her in an empty classroom. To Nandini's bad luck no one was in the corridor.

"Please leave me..! Let me go..!!" Nandini shouted. It seems like past was repeating itself once again. She was being dragged in the room once again. She was crying for help but no one was there.

"I won't beauty..!!" Harshad barked and throw Nandini on the floor. "Payback time..!"

"Please somebody help..!! Manik...!! Manik..!!" She started shouting.

"Haaahh..!! Manik is not coming to save you..!!" Harhsad said and started moving towards Nandini. She crawled backwards on the floor.

"Please Harshad no..!! Please..!!" Nandini begged. Once again she was begging and no was there to listen to her pleadings. Harshad fisted his hands in Nandini's hair and made her stand. She shrieked in pain.

"Beg for your life..!! But I won't spare you..!!" Harshad barked and again throw Nandini on the floor. He came on top of her.She tried her best to push him away.

"Maaannniikkk...!!" She again yelled on top of her voice. And Harshad laugh hysterically. He leaned closer to Nandini to kiss her she turned her face and closed her eyes. Suddenly she felt herself relieved as Harshad was no more on top of her. There stands the savior Manik.

Chapter 5 C

Manik was searching for Nandini here and there. Suddenly he heard Nandini's shouts. He run towards the voice and then he saw in a classroom Harshad leaning over Nandini. His blood started boiling with anger. He run in the classroom and held Harshad's collars. He dragged him away from Nandini. He push him away and look at Nandini she was crawled in a corner. She was trembling badly and was shouting nonsense.

"I told you to stay from her then why?" Manik punched Harshad.

"Come on Malhotra..!! I was just..!!" But before Harshad could complete his words Manik punched him again hard on his face.

"How dare you to touch MY NANDINI...!!" Manik shouted and Nandini was stunned on her place. "Did he just said My Nandini?" In spite of her miserable state she thought. Manik punched Harshad. He pick up a iron rod from the floor don't know from where did that came from. He was about to hit him with it when Cabir and Dhruv held his hand. Alya and Mukti rushed towards Nandini.

"Don't touch me..!! Stay away from me..!!" Nandini shouted when Alya and Mukti tried to come close to her. She was still in trance

"Nandini it's us..!!" Mukti again tired to come close to her.

"Noo...!!" Nandini again shouted on top of her voice. Both look helplessly at each other.

Here Manik was swearing to kill Harshad. But Dhruv and Cabir throw Harshad out of the classroom.

"Pagal ho gya hai..!" Cabir shouted.

"Haan ho gaya hoon pagal..!! How dare he?" Manik shouted.

"Manik..!! Nandini is not listening to us..!!" Mukti and Alya called him. Manik rushed towards Nandini she was trembling on her place. Manik kneeled in front of her.

"Stay away from me..!!" Nandini again shouted.

"Nandini it's me Manik..!!" Manik said heart brokenly. Nandini was looking at him like she had seen an alien. Manik gently held her hands. He rubbed him thumb on her hands and if soothing the pain.

"Manik..!!!" Nandini wasn't able to utter a word she was trembling badly. Manik carefully encircled his arms around her. She didn't push him away. Manik gently tighten his embrace around her and she rested her head on his chest. Manik rubbed her back and she burst out in tears. Manik let her cry. Manik thought that she was crying because of this incident. But Nandini..!! She was crying because after so so long she had someone who cares for her. After so long someone had given her his shoulder to cry..!! She was spitting the tears of whole year which she had controlled..!! She tightly clutched Manik's blazer.

"Shhh..!! Bus Nandini..!! I got you..!!" Manik whispered. "You are ok..!!" After a lot of crying Nandini realized that she was hugging Manik. She immediately realized her mistake and broke the hug. Fab4 were standing with an awe.

"I am sorry..!!" Nandini fumbled.

"No need to be sorry Nandini..!! I am always there for you..!!" Manik said politely wiping her tears.

"Nandini I am so sorry on behalf of bhai..!!"Alya said and sat with her.

"It's ok Alya..!! It's my fate..!!" Nandini said lowering her head. Manik was about to say something when the door banged open and Nayonika came in running.

"Manik..!! Beta are you ok? Some students told me that you have been in a fight with Harshad..!!" Nayonika said cupping his cheeks.

"Mom..!! I am ok..!! That Harshad tried to..!!" Manik wasn't able to complete his words. Nayonika look at Nandini and she immediately realized the whole matter. She placed her hand on Nandini's head.

"Are you ok Nandini?" Nayonika said with all her motherly affection and Nandini again felt like crying. She had no blood relation with the six people in front of her still they were taking care of her. And her own blood relations? What did they do?

"I am ok Mam..!!" Nandini nodded her head.

"Thank God ..!! Meray sary bachy theek hain..!!" Nayonika sighed in relief and patted Nandini's cheeks. That was it for Nandini she hugged Nayonika tightly and again started sobbing. Everyone smiled and Nayonika took her in her embrace. Patting her head lovingly shushing her politely. After sometime Nandini broke the hug and look at Nayonika she was smiling at her. Nandini felt herself so much content in Nayonika's motherly arms.

"Mom..!! Do something about Harshad..!!" Manik said gritting his teeth.

"Yes Manik..!! This kind of humiliation will not be tolerated in SPACE..!!" Nayonika said determinedly.

"Aunty today Manik saved Nandini..!! What if he tried to do this with some other girl..!!" Dhruv said in a serious tone.

"You are right Dhruv beta..!! I'll expel him..!" Nayonika said angrily. Then she turned towards Nandini.

"Do wanna go home Nandini beta?" Nayonika asked politely. But Nandini shook her head in a no.

"I am ok Mam..!! I don't wanna go home..!!"She said. "Mera kon intezaar kar raha hai ghar?"She muttered the last line in her mouth.

"Ok then..!! Everyone..!! Go and join your class..!!" Nayonika said and all kids nodded. She herself walked out of the room. Suddenly she turned.

"Manik..!!" Nayonika called Manik.

"G Mom..!!" Manik asked obediently.

"Don't forget to invite Nandini in your tomorrow's birthday party..!! As fab5 are coming but I want you to invite Nandini too..!!" Nayonika said smilingly.

"Sure Mom..!!" Manik said and smiled. Then Nayonika left.

"Wow..!! Manik's birthday party..!!" Mukti exclaimed. "You guys remember last year how much fun we did..!!"

"Yeah..!! A lot..!!" Manik said smilingly and everyone pounced on Manik for a group hug. For a moment they forgot that Nandini was standing there too. After sometime they broke and Manik look at Nandini. She was standing there quietly looking at them. Manik walked towards her.

"Nandini..!! I want you to come in my Birthday party..!! There will not much people..!! Just me, my friends, my mom and my aunt..!! If you will join us na we will be honored..!! Right guys?" Manik look at the fab4 and gestured them to say yes. And they all nodded.

"Of course Nandini..!! We will do fun..!!" Cabir said coming forward.

"Tum aoa ge na Nandini..!!" Dhruv asked. Now Nandini was in a fix. She didn't want Fab5 to get attached with her. She wanted to say no but she can't.

"Ok..!! I'll come..!!" Nandini said in a low tone and Fab5 jumped with joy. Seeing their excitement Nandini too smiled weakly.

"Guys? You want to be late in Raghav's class?" Alya said and they all shook their heads.
