Navya and Cabir walked back towards the room, while getting stares from everyone.
"If you want to be the next victim of a Fab5 prank, I'd continue staring," Navya said. Everyone looked away.
"Did you just use my threat?" Cabir asked, slightly amused.
"Well you did tell everyone that I'm girlfriend...I deserve that at least."
"Whatever you wish, my sweetheart," Cabir said. Navya rolled her eyes and as soon as they entered the music room again, everyone's eyes were on them.
"Cabir has something to tell you," Navya exclaimed.
"Thanks Navya..."
"Sorry," she said.
"Now what does he have to say?" Mukti asked.
"I'm not dating Navya," Cabir said. There was a sigh of relief around the room. Both Cabir and Navya rolled their eyes.
"Thanks guys," Navya mumbled.
"It's a little more serious than that. Navya made me understand, that if I can't tell you guys, who else would I be able to tell," Cabir told them. "If you don't mind, can NH3 leave?"
"Yup. We'll just get out now. Come on guys, move your butts," Navya said. She hurried them out of the room.
"Okay Cabir...spit it out," Mukti told him.
"I'm gay," he said. They all started at him in surprise. "I know I should have told you guys, but I didn't know how you'd react, and well it isn't a very common thing in India."
"Cabir. You're our best friend. We'd do anything for you," Manik said.
"Yeah. Who cares if you like guys? As long as you don't make out with Dhruv or Manik in front us, we're okay with it," Mukti said.
"What you three do in your own time isn't our business," Alya continued, winking at Mukti. Cabir laughed while Manik and Dhruv shuffled awkwardly.
"You guys are the best," Cabir said.
"Too true," Mukti said. They all had a group hug.
"Aww! Yeah! I knew this would happen," said Navya. They all broke apart and looked at her. She blushed. "Sorry, I wanted to check if Cabir was okay. I'll just go now."
"Hey Madhubala! Thanks," Cabir said.
"No problem. And Cabir? You're not that bad," Navya said, winking. She turned and walked out.
