Nan (putting one hand over Manik's pointed finger n moving his hand down): people who r completely dependant on their family's name should not point out at those who are self made and independent..
First search for urself..
Search for Manik..only Manik..not Manik Malhotra..and then u will have all the rights to point finger at me..

Mukti comes from behind amd grabs Nandini from her elbow..

Muk: how dare u Nandini? How dare u point a finger at us? U have no idea whom u r messing up with..u will have to suffer..mind my words..

Nandini looks at Mukti and then at her hand which was holding her elbow tightly..
She very easily holds a grip of Mukti's hand and releases her elbow. .

Nan: well..its u guys who have given me this opportunity to point at u..if u think that u guys..who r solely dependent on ur "surnames" would point out at a girl who is self made and independent and she would just stand like a spectator and watch everything..then let me tell u..u r wrong. .
N as far as messing up with u guys is concerned. .then plz..do show me who r u..do u have something which u can claim as urs? do u have something tht u have earned and not got in heritance? do u have something of your own? Your parents have enrolled u in one of the most reputed colleges with the hope of seeing U at the top..with a hope of seeing u building ur name with ur hardwork..so that a day comes and they will b known by Your name..and here u r, trying to humiliate a person who is working hard to stand on her own feet..by making fun of her work?!
Koi bhi kaam chota ya bada nahi hota..its our thinking that makes it so..
A person who once worked at a petrol station is now one of the richest men in world..whom u knw as AMBANIS..a person who once worked at a tea stall is now our Prime Minister...so plz..stop making fun of any type of work and start respecting it..

All the students were hearing her very keenly..though its not necessary it would have effected all of them..but mayb few of them may ponder over what she said...mayb they would ponder tht this is the time they should achieve something for themselves n in turn make their parents proud..
Mayb....

Turning towards the students..
Nan: i guess i have answered all ur questions..anything else?

All the students gradually leave the auditorium. .leaving behind only fab5 and Navni..

Al: u ddnt do the right thing Nandini..u have insulted us..

Nav: aur jo aap logo ne kiya wo? Aapne to Nandini ka mazaak banaane me koi kasar nahi chodi..aap logo ka pata nahi..lekin hum befikar nikal sakte hai kyunki hum jaante hai k Nandu jaise log hai jo hume sahi salaamat ghar tak pohchaa sakti hai..aur hume fakhr hai is baat pe..i m proud k Nandini humari dost hai..
(Looking with pride towards Nandini)

Nandini feels extremely happy on knowing Navya's feelings for her.

Nan: Navya..rehne do.
So fab5..i guess i won again..so now time for my challenges..
Now with yesterday's challenges..i have a total of 3 challenges.

So ur first challenge is to keep aside ur one day pocket money..

Ur second challenge is tht day after tomorrow is sunday..an off..so u guys have to come with me from morning..with ur one day pocket money..

And ur 3rd challenge is that.....aahh..actually thats a surprise..which will b revealed on sunday...

I guess m done..so see u tomorrow. .chale Navya?

Saying so she leaves with Navya n fab5 stand rooted at their places.

Muk(angry): what the hell was that? How dare she? She pointed finger at us? At fab5?? How bloody dare she???

Al: bloody commoner..she is just a cab driver but has attitude of a princess..as if she is a president of some place..huh..

Dhr: what wrong did she say? What we did was wrong..absolutely wrong..we have no rights to point a finger at her or at her job when we ourselves are enjoying on our parents' money.

Cab: i support Dhruv in this.. i mean look at us..where do we stand? We r just living a life given by our parents..but what have WE achieved as individuals..nothing..n we are pointing out at Nandini..who has achieved everything on her own..she's even a scholarship student yaar..
I had told u..not to do all this..

(Going towards Manik):
Mujhe laga aaj ke dhamaake k baad toh wo sach me chali jaaygi..but usne to ulta hume hee lecture de diya..n woh b impressive one i must say.. she just came like a storm aur tere andar hulchul machaa k chali gai..

Man: aisa kuch nai hai Cabir..so just stop troubling ur brain..

Muk: guys..what r u whispering? Manik tujhe b lagta hai kya we r nothing as individuals?

Man: I dnt want to talk ryt now..m going home..
N leaves from there..

Here navya n nandini leave college together..

Nav: nandu..tumhe unhe aise hee kyu chod diya? Hum to bolte hai k chalo hamare saath..abhi jaake hum Nyeonika mam k paas complain kerte hai..phir akal thikaane aayegi inki..chalo tum..

Nan: navya navya..relax..dont get so worked up..aur mene unhe aise hee kaha choda...i told them what i wanted to..aur hum chote bache to hai nahi na..k hum har baat k liye complain kerne jaay..

Nav: ye koi choti baat nai hai nandu..wo log tumhara mazaak udaa rahe the..tumhare kaam ka mazaak udaa rahe the wo b sabke saamne..

Nan: jaanti hu navya..lekin mujhe aadat hai khud k liye khud hee awaaz uthaa ne ki..i believe har ek ko apne liye awaaz uthaani chahiye..kyu kisi aur ka wait kare k wo hamare taraf se logo ka moo band kare..

Nav (giving impressive looks): wah nandu..tum to badi achi baate kerti ho..waise to tum ek choti si pyaari si gudiya lagti ho..lekin maturity to tum me sabse zyada hai..kaha se seekha ye sab?

Nan: zindagi se bada teacher aur koi nahi hota navya..yeh tumhe sab kuch sikhaa deti hai (chuckling sadly)..har insaan galti kerke seekhta hai...lekin samajdaar wo hota hai jo sirf apni hee nai..balke dusro ki galti se b seekh le..

Acha ab bohot baate hogai..chalo chalte hai..mujhe job per b jaana hai..

With tht both leave for their respective places.

Malhotra mansion..night

Vish: r u serious Nyeo?? Tumne Nandini se Manik ki music ki baat ki? But y? I mean aise all of a sudden..

Nyeo: i dont knw Vishal..i just felt of sharing it with her..n relax..dont over react..i just told her that Manik was a topper..mayb that would give her a clue how to get things worked out by Manik..u knw how your son is..stubborn 😕

Vish: yeah..afterall he has ur blood.. (chuckles).. as if i dnt knw tht u want Manik to get back to his music..n u feel that Nandini can do it..ryt?

Nyeo (stammering ): wh..what r u saying? Wh..why would i want that? And plz i have appointed Nandini only as a private tutor for fab5..nothing more..

Vish: ahaaa..so tell me my darling wife..y did u choose only NANDINI for this job? I mean i understand that choosing any other professor wud have been the same..according to u..but u could have chosen a senior too right? I mean a 3rd year student? Infact he would have been more capable of teaching in a better way..dont u think so?? (Bending a little till her face while smirking)

Nyeo: whatever..m tired n m going to sleep..u too change n sleep.

Vish (self talk): i knw Nyeo..why have u chosen Nandini for this job..coz its coz of HER that Manik called u MOM after 2 yrs...i knw u r upset wd him..but i knw tht u love him alot..n u miss him..n u always pray for him..i feel God has answered ur prayers in Nandini's form..i m getting a very strong feeling that Nandini would definitely get our son..our Manik back to us..n even his music in his life..
All the best Nandini..u r dealing with the 2 most stubborn heads at the same time...like mother..like son..(giggling )

Cabir comes to the mansion to meet Manik..n goes directly to his gym where he was working out..

Cab: whats up dude?

Man: nothing..just...working...out.

Cab: so all set?

Man: for what?

Cab: day after tmrw..we need to spend our entire day with Nandini ryt..with our one day pocket money??

Man: not the entire day..she just said from morning..

Cab: arre wah..itna attention k saath tu nandini ki baath sun raha tha? Wow..m impressed..kaash profs k lectures b aise sunta..

Manik stops working out n glares at cabir..

Cab: what?

Man: come to the point Cabir.

Cab: ok..fine then..Manik chal kya raha hai? Y r u doing something tht u dont want to? Y r u so adamant for winning this challenge?

Man: (looking here n there): theres nothing going on Cabir how many times should i tell u this? I told u na m not effected by Nandini..

Cab(raising his volume): oh really Manik! Whom r u selling this shit to? U knw n i knw ..we both knw tht how badly u r effected by nandini..tujhe Nandini se..uske naam se..uski baat se..uske kaam se..uski har ek cheez se farak padhta hai Manik y dont u accept tht.

Manik (in anger n raising his volume): kaha na mujhe farak nahi padhta..nahi padhta hai farak..

Cab: acha? Tou matlab tujhe koi farak nahi padha aaj jo kuch b huwa? Tell me u werent effected by how people were laughing and mocking at Nandini..

(Manik moves from there and goes to the other end of the room..Cabir follows him)

Cab: bol Manik..it ddnt matter to u when people were calling her a driver..a commoner? Bol tujhe tab b koi farak nahi padha when those shitty heads were passing obsolete comments on Nandini..

(Manik again moves from there n goes near a glass table)

Cab: bolna chup kyu hai Manik? It really ddnt effect u when that guy talked about double fare? Tujhe koi farak nahi padha na when he said about other satisfaction?

(Manik was by now all red with anger..listening to Cabir and recalling all those filthy talks about Nandini..he got so furious remembering all that that he just carried the glass table and threw it on the floor..crashing it into pieces)

Man: aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

(Turning towards Cabir and grinding his teeth)

Man: just shut up cabir..ab aur nahi

Cabir sees his reaction and grins..

Cab: aur bolta hai k tujhe farak nahi padhta..
Khud se dooor bhaagna aur dusro ko apne se dooor bhagaana band kar Manik...

Patting his shoulders..he continues:

Aaj k liye kaafi work out hogaya..go n sleep..
Gud nyt

Manik punches a wall nearby n says while grindimg his jaws: Nandiniiii

On the other hand..

Nan: Aiyappa..itna i knew k fab5 koi bada prank kerne waale hai..but i never thought tht they would go to this extent..
But i m glad..that Nyeonika mam shared about fab5 with me..
Nyeonika mam (sighing in pain)..i dnt knw y i feel a motherly affection from her..the way she told me that she is always there for me..how much i was longing to hear tht from someone..
But today also i saw tht pain in her eyes..mayb its because Manik has left his music..
I m glad tht they did this prank with me..at least i could talk about the importance of one's individuality..mayb they would think about music again..thats y i questioned about their individual personality..i knw this one attempt wont b enough..n thats y i have given them those conditions...i just want to give them that push.. i knw tht mayb even after these attempts i myt not b able to relieve Nyeonika mam from her pain..but at least i can try..n mayb this is the pain tht i saw in Manik's eyes..
(Music doesnt live in me..i live in music..)
She remembers how Nyeonika told her about Manik's passion for music..

Nan: i dnt knw whats the reason that Manik left his music..but i knw tht somewhere this is the reason of their pain..of Manik's and Nyeonika mam's pain..n now..i will try my best to give them some relief from this pain..Aiyappa..plz help me to get through this..
