After the brilliant performance and her new found status as an outstanding singer Nandini still seems to be lost. The endless round of congratulations and good wishes doesn't seem to cheer her. She is sitting alone in the music room lost in her trance. When her thoughts are interrupted by a tight hug from Navya
Navya (in her super excited mode) - wah wah Nandu tumne toh chakke chuda diye sabke. Kya gana gaya tumne, hamen toh pata hi nahi tha k hamari friend itni superb singer hai. Kahan chupake k rakha tha itna sara talent.
Nandini (with a forced smile) - Thanx Navya
Navya - Bas itna sa reaction arey tumhari jagah hum hote na toh khusi ke mare pagal hi ho jate
Suddenly peeche se some1 says "uske k liye tumhe khush hone ki bhi zaroorat nahi hai tum waise hi pagal ho... pure college ko pata hai
Both of them look at that direction to find Cabir standing infront of them
Navya (with an irritated expression)- tumse kisine kuch poocha
Cabir - nahi nahi aaise gyan toh main free fund mein baanta hun..bahut hai mere paas
Navya - tumhe toh main
Even Cabir braces himself for the fight
Nandini - Guys please stop it ..kya kar rahe ho tum dono..Navya (tries to control her)
Cabir - SORRY atleast I should behave myself (with a naughty smile) Newyz Nandini I was looking for u only
Nandini - Kyun kya hua?
Cabir - Kya hua pure SPACE mein tsunami laake u r actually asking.. kya hua. Nandini main toh tumhara fan ban gaya...what a performance really
Nandini - Thanx
Cabir - Hmm itna thanda thanx matlab Manik ko tumhara hint samajh mein nahi aaya dat u wer singing for him ..Ye Manik bhi na kabhi kabhi sabse zyada obvious baatein bhi nahi samajhta ..abhi bhi gussa hai tumse.
Nandini - Gussa?... he hates me..he will never forgive me
Navya tries to console her
Cabir - Dekho Nandini I know Manik thoda tedha hai (admits helplessly )I mean u know. But I can say one thing for sure He doesn't hate you... He can never
Nandini - Woh karta hai ..he said it on my face..
Cabir - and don't tell me k u believe him on that.. Nandini .. Manik abhi bhi tumhare bahut care karta hai.
Nandini nods in disbelief..
Wat u don't trust me..I can prove my point
Nandini and Navya both look at him with suspicion
Haan but on one condition agar main jeet gaya toh tumhe waise hi karna hoga jaisa ki hum dono kahenge (indicating himself and Navya)
Navya is a little taken a bac by the hum dono phrase but decides to go with the flow.
Cabir - 10 min mein 2nd floor ke stairs ke paas pahuncho I wil meet u der (saying this he rushes out of the room)
Cut to Canteen
FAB 4 is sitting together. Alya and Mukti venting der anger on Nandini for trying to take der place. Dhruv trying to defend Nandini but failing and Manik in his famous silent mode. Dhruv finally tries to divert the topic
Dhruv - Arey ye Cabir kahan gaya maine use bola toh tha k hum canteen ja rahe hain.
Den suddenly Cabir comes running
(panting frantically)Guys guys ..who Nandini .. who stairs se.. 2nd floor..
And before he could finish panting and complete his sentence Manik pushes him aside and runs out of the canteen. Dhruv also gets up to go but is stopped by Alya.. Manik runs through stairs and corridors as if he knew his stupid and dumb Nandini has again managed to get herself hurt or land up in sum new trouble. He reaches the spot and sees 10-15 students surrounding sumthing. He immediately pushes them to get in ..only to find a girl sitting in between holding her ankle and crying in pain. But she z not his Nandini. He suddenly glances Cabir standing beside him. He catches hold of him and comes out.
Manik - (his eyes filled with anger as if he would tear him apart den n der)- Jhooth kyun bola tune..Kahan hai Nandini
Cabir- (stammering and also trying to save himself)- Jjjhoooth kahan bola ..ye toh rahi Nandini (pointing to the same girl) listen (to the girl who is now standing with sum1 z help) zara batao isse tumhara naam kya hai
Girl - Nandini
Manik looks at Cabir angrily
Cabir - Arey Ye Nandini hai Nandini Awasthi 1st year new in college hai na
The girl nods in agreement and then goes from there, the crowd also gets dispersed. Manik realizes he has fallen in Cabir's trap and looks here and there to avoid Cabir's eye contact.
Cabir - (very innocently)Kyun tujhe kya laga ki kaun hai.
Manik - Saale tune jaan bujh kar ye kia tha na
Cabir - Arey kia kya maine tune meri puri baat nahi suni Nandini sunte hi u tuk off like a rocket. Hadh hai Nandini kya sirf Moorty hi ho sakti hai Awasti,Tiwari, Saxena, Singh der r endless possibilities.
Manik knowing dat he has taken the bait and it is pointless to defend himself leaves from der. While Nandini and Navya standing is one corner have witnessed the whole event. Cabir comes to dem
Cabir - So I think I have proved my point
Nandini althoh happy but is still trying to hide it. Sumhw her deepest fear hasn't cum true he still feels for her, cares for her even if he wouldn't admit
Cabir (driving Nandini out of her thoughts) - So ab its ur turn.. remember wahi karna hoga jo hum kahenge..Ready
Nandini looks at Navya who is equally cluless but Cabir gestures Navya to relax and trust him.
