It's the winning celebration party of SPACE. Everyone wanted to look the best. The girls wanted to look the best as they had known Manik is single again and Boys wanted to go gaga over Alya...Whereas in the Fab 5 Mukti wanted to celebrate the win, Cabir wanted to keep aside his weakness and face the world, Alya wanted to be there for her friends and Dhruv wanted a chance to confess his feelings. However NH3 had a different story. Navya wanted to be there with her Harshadji who was going in the party to implement his plans. Everyone had a motive to come in the party .But there were two people who wanted to be confined in the four walls of their room and be with themselves only.
Nandini Moorthy heartbroken and shattered stood by the windows from where she often saw her monster honking the car. She knew he had broken her heart and he did not deserve all the attention but yet she could not stop herself from missing him. She could still not believe that Manik had broken her trust .The same person who asked her to trust him just 2 days back. The one who asked her to shine for him and remember him in her prayers. But it was all a lie...Nandini cried and then sighed and said...Alas...It was all a lie.
Her thoughts were interrupted by Chachi.
Chachi: array...Nandini you are not ready yet? Don't you need to go to the party?
Nandini: No Chachi I don't feel like going. I feel sick
Chachi: Nandini don't lie to me. You don't want to go because you lost. But Nandini this is life. If today you have lost, you don't need to worry. I know you are capable to make others loose as well. You have always been a fighter .I remember when you came back from USA after that incident 10 years back. You know that day what you said to your ams. (Nandini looked at her)
Chachi: You told "Ams don't worry. Appa and Mama are here with us. Everything will be alright. I am papa's fighter and I will make it fine I won't cry. I am a scientist's daughter. This is just a phase of my life where I fell down. I know people will trample me but I have the guts to stand up and run again because I am Nandini Moorthy. My parents are always there with me, no matter what. Don't cry.
Nandini had tears in her eyes.
Chachi: When Nandini of 9 years could say that much when her parents left her today my Nandini is of 19.I am sure she has more guts. I know one fall will not make her wounded. You are a lioness. GO with your head held high and crush them all. Go to the party. And who knows you could meet my SHahrukh also.
Nandini smiled
Chachi: Now you are going or you want to have my Manchurian pooris...
Nandini laughed while crying
Go and come back soon. I will take care of Rishab
Chachi went closing the door.
Nandini: yes Chachi you are right...me wont break. I will show Manik Malhotra what he has lost. Just wait and watch
Manik Malhotra on the other side was angry at himself and at everyone around him. He had switched his phone to avoid talks with anyone, scolded anyone who came in front of him, broke every single thing in his room. The only thing that remained safe was the dial lamp. He sat on the corner holding it and star gazing at his ceiling. He was frustrated, he was hurt, he was shattered and more over he was heartbroken.
The door of his room knocked.
Someone form the door: Baba...Madam is calling you downstairs
Manik shouted: Are you all deaf or you all wanted to die today. How many times have I told you all that I don't want to see anyone? Get lost
He opened his bloodshot eyes totally red with anger and pain and feeling totally lost and broken he walked toward the balcony.
And this time someone opened the door of his room.
Manik: Don't you all get it that I don't want to meet anyone.
The lights of his room switched on and there stood Nyonika, his mother.
Nyonika: It's me
She looked around the room
Nyonika: And this is the first time Manik is here and not celebrating his win. If you remember we have a party to attend which I have thorn for you. And we both need to make it to the party together.
Manik :( clenching his teeth) I don't want to go to any party. I am not interested and I am not going anywhere with you. Get that thing clear in your head.
With that Manik turned showing his back so that she could not figure out his condition
Nyonika: Manik if you have forgotten I have already saved your friend's you don't need to do this mess in your room to pressurize me to not get Cabir expelled. I have saved him already. You are my son and you are safe with me and so are your friends. So why are you acting as a heart broken Romeo...
Manik did not expect much more. He had not thought out of all Nyonika would suspect him of being heartbroken. He turned towards her.
And now I want you downstairs in 15 minutes.
She then shouts...Ram Singh...I want this room straight right now.
She comes out of the room and says something is seriously wrong. Manik for the first time in the past 10 years did not answer me back when I ordered him.
She takes out her cell and calls someone: I want to know what Manik up to be for the last 1 month, since my stay in London. Each and every single detail.
It was the most lavish party anyone had ever seen. Nyonika had not kept anything amiss for the celebration. It seemed as if they were going to party week long. Media coverage, high class VIPs, paparazzi, celebrities everyone had their presence in their party. Then entered the people with royal blood running with in them. Fab 5 excluding Manik made their entry .They avoided and went into the venue straight. Followed by them Navya entered along with Nandini and Harshad.
Cabir: Where is Manik?
Alya: I tried calling him but his phone is switched off.
Manik: And look our very own loser Harshad is here. Where are you Manikin hope Nyonika is not up to something again.
And two black cars barged into SPACE. And then the mother -son due made their entry. They were all covered by the media. Manik wanted to avoid it but Nyonika caught hold of his hands.
Media: SO how does it feel ma'am. SPACE wins the Musiccana for three consecutive years?
Nyonika: It's an honor. I feel proud as a mom and even proud as it's because of my son Manik and his band Fab 5.
Manik: No questions please and he left her hands and went in the party.
He just made his entry when everyone in the hall started buzzing. But is eyes were just stuck at her .She felt him staring at her but she chose to ignore it.
Mukti: and here comes Manik.
She ran over him and hugged him.
He hugged her back.
Cabir: Where were you? We were so worried.
Alya: yah Manik...I tried calling you but your phone was off
Manik: yah the battery.
Dhruv: you are aright Na buddy
Manik glanced at Nandini and painfully looked at her and then back at the gland and nodded his head in positive.
Recap:
Someone is catching hold of Nandini with a knife in her neck
Manik: I am warrning you move away from Nandini or you will see your death right here
Nandini: Leave me please am ready to do whatever you want
Person whispers in her ear: Stop speaking in English. You know I understand English is a really good language but we south Indian are also no less na...our language is too good...Say something in South Indian as you used to in front of NYC Primary School back in USA...My bull Nandu...
Nandini repeated: Nandu the bull...we south Indian s is no less...NYC Primary School
Manik: What are you saying...I told leave her
Nandini felt the person loosen her hand and she turned back and hugged him tightly feeling overwhelmed and shouted-AARGAV...I missed you
And the person hugged her back and Manik stood there totally shocked.
