"Cabir aankhe khol na.. Kahan leke ja rha h?", Nandani said as her eyes were covered by a blind fold. Navya and Cabir were walking on her either side so that she do not trip. "Your wait will be worth it Nandu. I promise!", Cabir said emotionally. They were outside the Chaudhary Mansion in the garden. A slim girl wearing red crop top and light blue faded jeans. Navya noticed Cabir's and that girl's teary eyes. She asked, "Yeh kon h?" "Kon h?", Nandani asked. "Aee Madhubala tum chup Ni reh skti thodi der..", Cabir said frustratingly. Navya made a face. "Hai kon Cabir..?", Nandani again asked. That girl gestures Cabir that she is ready. Cabir open Nandani's blind fold. Nandani was stunned seeing that girl. She was not even able to react.
That girl came forward and said, "Bhul gyi kya mujhe.." Only one word escaped from Nandani's mouth, "MUKTI..!" Mukti instantly hugged her. "I thought Ki... Ki tu Ni ayegi..", Nandani said. "Tu bhul skti h hme itni aasani se.. We can't!", came the reply. "I'm sorry.. I'm really sorry.", Nandani said apologetically. They broke the hug. "Btw, tu toh bilkul ni bdli.. Abhi bhi bilkul sukdi haddi.. Haan?", Nandani said playfully.
"But tu toh patli hogyi haan.. Ek dum shape Mein.. Australia walon ne Tujhe kuch khilaya Ni kya moti?", Now it was Mukti's turn to tease her. Both laughed.
Nandani looked at Cabir n said, "Thank you Cabir, thank you so much. Yeh surprise na me kbhi Ni bhulungi.." "Me bhi..", Cabir said. He again said rubbing his tears, "Now, this calls for a group hug. What's say guys?" "Sure!!", Multi chirped. The trio hugged each other. Navya smiled seeing them.
"Wuhooo! Looks like Fab-5's reunion is going on.", They heard someone. They broke the hug and saw Madhyam leaning on the wall with his hands in the pockets. He came forward, "Umn.. Let me count 1-2-3.. U guys are just three. Baki do kahan h? Fab- 5 toh abhi bhi incomplete h". He said smirking. Mukti was looking at him with utter disgust. "Fab- 5 will be complete soon. Don't worry Maddie!", Cabir said. "Cabir! Mere bhai.. Tu sapne bahut dekhta h yrr.. Jb baad me tootenge na toh bahut bura lgega Tujhe", Madhyam said.
"Hme bura lge ya na lge.. Tujhe tension lene Ki zarurat Ni h Maddie. Or jahan tak Fab- 5 Ki baat h.. Toh I will advice u Ki tu kuch na hi bole toh acha h..", This time Mukti said.
Madhyam laughed and said, "Mujhe samajh Ni aa rha Ki tum log phele bhi itne pagal the ya yeh 6 saal alag rehne ka asar h.. U guys seriously think Ki Fab- 5 abhi bhi reunite Ho skta h? Kyu Nandani?"
Nandani looked at Madhyam and then in another direction. She was numb with his question. "Aww.. Jawaab Ni h Nandani.. ( He came near her, keeps his hand in her shoulder ) bolo na.. Accept Kr paogi us insaan ko dobara apni life me?" Nandani shrugged off his hands from her shoulder and went inside. "Nandani! Nandani!", Navya also went inside calling out for Nandani. She was not able able to understand anything what they all are talking about.
"So ab kya kehna h tumhara Fab- 5 ke reunion ke baare me Cabir?", Madhyam said laughing. Cabir couldn't reply. Mukti was about to go but Madhyam stopped her, "Hey Mukti! Itni bhi jldi kya h ghar Jane Ki.. Ao andar kuch kha- pike jao.. Apna hi ghar samjho.." Mukti said smiling at him, "Maddy! Yeh meri bachpan Ki friend ka ghar h.. I don't need your permission to come in."
"And I think tumhari bachpan Ki dost ko tumhari bahut zarurat h.. Toh jao use sambhalo.. (Mukti rolled her eyes) And yes, aj shaam ko ek party h.. Nandani ke ane Ki Khushi.. I hope u will come", Madhyam went saying this.
"Mukti u know him na! Pls don't mind.", Cabir said. "Sai toh keh rha tha vo Cabir, Fab-5 kbhi dobara ek sath Ni ho skta.. It's impossible.", Mukti said.
"Mukti this is not the right time to talk about this. Lets just go to Nandani."
"Hmn.. Chl."
Nandani was in her room sitting on the bed. Navya didn't ask her anything as she knew it will hurt her more. Suddenly a pillow hit Nandani. "Tujhe kya lgta h.. Tu 6 saal baad ayegi or hum Tujhe asaani se apne room me bethke araam krne denge.. Haan?", Cabir said hitting her with another pillow. "Yele.. Ek aur.", It was Mukti this time. "Bs kro yrr!", Nandani said. "No ways!", Both said and keep on hitting her with pillows. Now Nandani came in action and she too start hitting them with pillows.
Meera came in the room with a servant to give children snacks but was horrified seeing the room. Everything was on the floor but she was very happy seeing one thing. Her daughter was sitting on the floor with her friends and laughing like an idiot, may be on some joke. She was waiting to see this sight and now it was front of her. "Bchon! Bhook Ni lgi? Kuch khana Ni h?", she asked. "Han na aunty! Khana h na.. Lao.", Cabir was the first one to recover from the laughing therapy hearing the word 'Khana'. "Tu bhukkad ka bhukkad hi rhega na Cabir.", Mukti said hitting him with pillow. "Mukti, bhukkad is a sign of a healthy person. Okay?", Cabir replied.
"But chahe kuch bhi khelo.. Sbse bda foodie toh hmara Manik hi.. ", Nandani stopped in between as she realized what she was saying.
Meera sensed the awkwardness n said, "Chlo bchon! Fatafat khalo.. Phir party ke kiye bhi ready hona hai naa.." "Han aunty lao..", Cabir said. "Me abhi ayi.. ", Nandani went to washroom saying this. Everyone knew that she needed some alone time, so didn't stop her. After she left, Meera said, "Madhyam keh rha tha Ki tum logon ko 8 bje tk nikalna h.. So ready Ho Jana.." Mukti, Cabir and Navya nodded and then Meera left. "Is party me Jana zaruri h kya.. Hm toh bahut thake hue h..", Navya said. "Hm na bhi Jana chahte, but vo lady don Nandani ko bhj ke hi rhengi.. Aur Nandani ko hm akele Jane de Ni skte us idiot Ki party me Jana toh pdega hi..", Mukti said sighing. "Pta Ni kya chal rha h is Maddy ke dimag me..", Cabir said.
Here Nandani in washroom was splashing water on her face. She remembers something.
[I]Well this calls for a party!", Cabir said. "Har baat pe party krni hoti hai na Tujhe Cabir..", Dhruv said.
"So what! Fab-5 ko party krne ke liye koi reason thodi na chahiye..", Mukti said.
"But kahan krenge party? Last time yaad h na library me kya kaand kiya tha.", Nandani said.
"Don't worry Nandu.. Hmne party ka plan kiya hai.. Toh party toh hum krke rhenge..", Manik said in his usual attitude. [/I]
[I]"So Mr. Malhotra.. Btaiye kya hai hmari party ka venue?", Nandani said.
"Tum chup rhogi, tbhi toh sochunga na."
"Oh! That means abhi tk apne socha Ni. Dimag me Kuch idea h Ni.. Or dialogue mare ja rhe Ho.. "
Manik was about to say something but Dhruv interrupted, "Manik! Kuch mat bol.. Vrna tum log na Puri raat ldte rhoge.."
"I second that! Tum dono ka pyaar bhi na mujhe samajh Ni Ata.. Na ek dusre se pyaar kre bager reh skte Ho.. Or na ldhe bager.", Cabir said laughing. [/I]
[I]Manik glared at him and then he stopped laughing.
"Acha yrr ab party krenge kahan?", Mukti asked. Everyone looked at Manik especially Nandani. She said, "Bolo na Manik, ab tak toh sochlia hoga.."
"Han sochlia. We will party in princi's cabin." Nandani's and Dhruv's eyes popped out. Cabir and Mukti saw each other evilly as they really liked the plan. "Manik are you out of you mind? Principle sir's cabin? Like seriously??", Nandani asked him furiously. Manik put his hands on her shoulder and said, "Are meri Nandu see, library me hum islie phas gye the.. Kyuki 1st and 2nd floor me watchmens ghumte rehte h.. Lekin hmare principle sir ka cabin toh 3rd floor pe hai.. Vahan staff room, examination room vagerah vagerah h.. Vahan pe koi watchman Ni hoga.. So we can party there!" Nandani removed his hand and said, "Mr. Extra Smart Malhotra, yeh Jo tumhara itna acha plan h na, Hum sbko marvayega.." [/I]
[I]"Cmmon Nandu! Don't be a spoil sport. It will be fun.", Mukti said.
"I am with Nandani. I don't think so yeh thk rahega.", Dhruv said.
"Sb shant hojao! Ab toh party principal sir ke cabin me hi hogi..", It was Cabir this time, he continued, "Manik tu bas pizzas ka order dede.."
"Han. Do min.". Manik take out his phone and place the order and then said, "Bhaiyya plz remember, that all the pizzas should be with extra cheez and toppings.. And ya within half an hour, the order should reach us." He cut the call. "Extra topings! Cheese! Bhukkad kahinke!!", Nandani said hitting him. Manik came near her ears, "Don't worry! Meri cheese toh tum hi Ho.. Bolo toh tumhi se start krlu? Pizza delivery boy toh ptani kb ayega.." "Manikkk! Chee... Chup !!", Nandani shrieked. [/I]
[I]"Kya Hua Nandani? Kya keh Diya Manik ne?", Cabir said. Nandani went red with embarrassment. "Are kuch Ni! Vo Me keh rha tha Ki princi ke cabin Ki chabi lani h.. Yeh phr shuru hogyi.. Ki galat baar h.. Nhi.. Vagerah vagerah..", Manik tried to cover up. "Chlo Nandani! Chabi leke ate h..", Manik forcefully take her with him.
"Yeh dono chahte kya h?", Mukti asked. "Kuch Ni yrr.. Romance shOmance krna hoga.. Or kya..", Cabir said winking at her.
Here Manik take Nandani in an empty classroom. "Manik what are you doing?", Nandani said irritatingly. "Aree! Tumne hi toh kaha tha me bhukkad hun.. Toh meri bhuk ab tumhe hi mitani pdegi.", Manik said coming closer to her. Now, Nandani was trapped between wall and Manik. "Acha? Toh phr kya chahiye tumhe?", Nandani said keeping her both hands on his shoulder. "Zyada kuch Ni bus ek kiss se kaam chala lunga me..", Manik said moving his head more close to her. Nandani also move forward. Manik's eyes were closed. Nandani used the opportunity and escape from his grip. [/I]
[I]"Nandani! This is not fair.", Manik said furiously. "Bby! Everything is fair in love and war.", Nandani said cheekily. She continued, "And vese bhi, srf khate hi rhoge toh mote hojaoge na.. So exercise bhi zaruri h.. Toh phele mujhe pkdo.. Phr Jo chahiye hoga.. Lelena..". "Acha Bachu!", Manik said running towards her. Both were running in the world classroom and landed up at a desk laughing like idiots. "But Manik ek baat to sach h..", Nandani said sitting on his lap. "Kya?", Manik asked kissing Nandani's neck.
"Vo yeh... ",
"Yeh.."
"Yeh Ki..."
"Ki.."
"Ki tum rhoge toh bhukkad ke bhukkad hi..!!", Nandani ran away saying this.
"Nandani !!! Now you are gone!" [/I]
Nandani came out from the trance. She was smiling remembering old memories. Her smile fainted as she realised she was not with Manik in that classroom but in Raigarh. She saw herself in the mirror and tears started making their way from her eyes. "I hate u Manik. I just hate u for giving me so much of memories. Jo phele toh hasati hai, par baad me srf aansu reh jate hai.."

"Me thik hun Cabir.. Tu bta..", I replied casually.
"Hmn.. Tu toh bilkul thik hoga, I know.", I was trying to be as normal as I could but this Cabir !!
"So aaj call kese kiya?", I tried to divert the topic.
"Mukti ko bhi kol kiya tha mene aj..", Cabir replied. I couldn't believe my ears.
"You really called her?", I asked.
"Yeah.."
"So.."
"She's here.."
"Seriously? Vo maan gyi ??"
"Hmn.. Infact, I think itne salon baad hmse milne ke baad uska gusaa bhi thanda hogya h.."
"... Good... that's good!"
"Manik, I m telling u, there's hope!"
"Cabir please. Not again!"
"Tu itni jldi kese give up krskta h uske upar? Vo Tujhe Ni bhuli hai Manik.. U know what! Aaj usne baton baton me tera naam liya.. Itna weak Ni hai tum logon ka rishta Manik, Jo itni asaani se tut jaye.."
I kept thinking something for two minutes and then I heard my own unexpected voice, "Vo hai vahan pr abhi?"
"Hmn.."
"Ek baar awaaz suna skta h uski.. "
I could feel the teasing smile of Cabir but seriously I just couldn't wait to hear her beautiful voice after 6 Damn years.
[COLOR=brown](Manik's POV ended)[/COLOR]
Here Cabir kept his phone in his pocket switching on its speaker and went inside the room as he was in balcony.
"Cabir! Kis se baat Kr rha tha itni der?", Mukti asked.
"Cabir jldi ready hoja yrr vrna lady don ko mujhe sunane ka ek aur chance mil jayega.. Vese hi Vo mere peeche pdhi h..", Nandani complained.
Here Manik closed his eyes listening her voice after so long. "Nandani..", this word came from his mouth like a prayer.
"Vese mujhe laga Vo thoda badal gyi hogi.. But Vo toh bdhti Umar ke sath or sar pe chadti ja rhi h..", Mukti mocked.
"Seriously! Unhe koi farak hi Ni pdhta Ki me thaki hui ayi hun.. I need rest.. But Ni she was like Ki Madhyam ne party rkhi hai, toh tumhe Jana toh pdega hi !! Kbhi kbhi toh doubt hota h Ki Vo meri dadi hai ya us idiot ki.", Nandani said.
Manik on listening 'Madhyam Ki party' become worried. He cut the call and again called Cabir. Cabir saw the caller ID and again he went to balcony and picked up the call.
"Madhyam ne party rkhi h Cabir?"
"Han yrr.."
"Dekh, I know mujhe kehne ki zarurat Ni h.. But still uska dhyan rkhio.. "
"Don't worry Manik! Tu bs apna dhyan rkh.."
"Hmn... Bye."
"Bye!"
