A new day..a new morning..Nandini had lots of things roaming in her head...she was having some flashback..

Person: Princess..where r u bacha?
A girl comes running down n hugs the person tightly..
Girl: m here popsyy..i mished u so muchhh..

Per: oh my bacha..i missed u tooo darling...acha listen. .i heard u helped a young man who had met with an accident while coming back home..how is he now?

Girl: oh that guy.. (getting angry)..u know popsy..he was the same guy who had punctured my car's tire the other day..i toh ddnt even want to help him..but driver kaka said tht there is no one around to help him..that's y i helped him.. (giving a grumpy look)

Per: and that's why i am very proud of u ..princess..today i want to give u a piece of advice..n i want u to remember it all your life..

Girl: what is that popsy?

Per: bacha...ur Aiyappa has created animals and human beings..both take birth, both grow, give birth, eat, survive and then..one day they die. Both r similar yet a lot different.. do u knw how?

Girl: how popsy?

Per: humans are blessed with thinking power..to differentiate between good and bad..right and wrong..whereas animals are not..and it is this thinking power that makes us humans and not animals. But this is not it..it is the duty of every human to show humanity. .to help others when needed..even if they dont ask u for help and u feel u can help them, then u should. Remember bacha, apne liye to jaanwar b jeeta hai, but successful insaan wo hai jiski life se sirf use hee nahi balki dusro ko b faayda mile.. so i always want that u keep helping people, and feel the satisfaction after getting a smile on their faces.. phir chaahe wo palat ke tumhe help kare ya na kare.. will u do this for me, for ur popsy?

Girl (nodding positively with a smile): yes popsy..i will..i promise..
U r my ideal Popsyyy

Per (smiling widely): and U r truly my PRINCESS..love u bacha

Nandini was brought to present by continuous ringing of her phone..on seeing the caller id she gets to knw that its a call from Navya.

Nan: good morning Navya

Nav: verry gud morning Nanduuu..
Kaha ho tum? College kab tak pohchogi?

Nan: wo Navya. .mujhe thoda kaam hai to me directly class k time hee aaungi..

Nav (sounding low): acha? Hume laga hum tumhare saath thoda aur samay beetaayenge..chalo koi na..kal to sunday hai..kal tum hamare saath waqt guzaarna..aur hum tumhara koi b bahaana nahi sunenge.

Nan: navya..tum to jaanti ho kal mene fab5 ko challenge diya hai tou...... (thinking for sometime), actually Navya..tum chaaho tou tum b kal mere saath aasakti ho.

Nav: sachhii Nandu? Theek hai..hume bataa dena kitne baje aana hai..hum aajayenge

Nan: puchogi nahi kaha

Nav: tumne bulaya hai na..to phir puchna kya..tumpe hume sabse zyada bharosa hai Nandu.

Nandini gets overwhelmed on hearing this.

Nav: acha hum rakhte hai..class me milte hai..khayal rakhna apna..byee

Nan: tum b..

Nan (self talk): how easily Navya said that she trusts me the most..n not only said..she even proves it..kabhi mujhse sawal nahi kiya..jo kaha uspe bharosa kiya..i always wanted a friend like her..but due to that incident..m not able to form a friendly relation with her or anybody..but i wont break Navya's trust on me..i will always b there for her..whenever she needs me.

After finishing her morning chores, Nandini leaves for GOD'S ANGELS Orphanage, the same orphanage where she had lived for 6 months before shifting to her place. After hearing a little about Manik n fab5 from Nyeonika and knowing few of their interests based on her observation, she knew what she has to do tomorrow with fab5 and what suprise challenge has to b given to them. She had decided to help fab5, even after facing their challenges, not because she was some saint, but because she believed in being a successful human being, believed in helping even if they ddnt ask her, she wanted to feel that satisfaction of getting a smile on someone's face, and right now she saw many faces, Nyeonika, Manik and fab4. She wanted to get music back into Manik's life..into fab5's lives..yes..she doesnt knw the reason why they left music..why after being so much into music what made them let it go...all she knew was tht she wanted to do something apart from being an ordinary person who targets a good job, a good house and good food and considers only this to be a successful life..she wanted to help Nyeonika getting a smile on her face, who gave her a drop of love that she had been yearning since years..and for this, she needed her Choti Maa's help.
Choti maa..the care taker of the orphanage..who loved each and every child like her own..

Nan: Choti maa..kaha ho aap?

C.m: me yaha hu Nanda..

Nan (annoyingly): kya choti maa..kitni baar kaha mujhe Nanda mat bolo..weird sound kerta hai.

C.m (giggling): ab weird sound kare ya nahi..me to tujhe isi naam se bulaaungi..
Acha chod..aaja nashta saath me kerte hai..pehle dino ki tarah.

Nan: haan theek hai..aur aapse baat b hojaaygi.

C.m: konsi baat?

Nan: actually choti maa..aapki thodi help chahiye thi.

With that she narrated her plan. Choti maa n Nandini shared a different bond. Being the eldest in the orphanage, Nandini always showed her maturity and shared orphanage's responsibilities with choti maa. Choti maa was the only one with whom Nandini could, for sometime atleast, free herself from the shell that she has been living in since 2 years, and for choti maa, Nandini was someone whom she trusts blindly and discusses every small big issues with her.

After discussing the plan, Nandini heads towards the college. Since there was still time for the class to start, so she headed towards canteen to see Navya, and luckily, she found Navya sitting at a corner table. Nandini went n joined her. Navya got happy on seeing Nandini before time and was asking her few points regarding last day's notes when Cabir came and interrupted them..

Cab: ehemmm...good morning Nandini..good morning Navya

Navya looks at him n gets angry as she remembers yesterday's prank..

Nav: kya chahiye tumhe? Kyu aaye ho yaha?

Cab: wo actually Nandini se kuch baat kerni thi.

Nav: koi zarurat nahi hai..

Nan (stopping Navya): Navya..its ok..sirf baat kerni hai..
Turning towards cabir

Nan: have a seat Mr. Dhawan

Cab: thank u Nandini. Emmm..kaisi ho?

Nav: kaisi dikh rahi hai aapko aapke kal k us sharaarat k baad?

Nan: Navya..use bolne toh do.

Navya turns grumpily and folds her arms on her chest.

Cabir mouths a thank u to Nandini.

Nan: boliye Mr. Dhawan

Cab (getting serious): Nandini..whatever happened yesterday..i know it was wrong..wrong on our part to point a finger at u, n i want to apologize for that..m sorry.

Nan: its ok..u werent speaking there so....

Nav: so?? Nandu tum aise kaise bol sakti ho? Maana k inhu ne kuch kaha nahi..lekin ye b to waha khade rahe chup chaap..ek koshish b nahi ki apne un dosto ko rok ne ki.. nandu..galat kerne waale hee sirf galat nahi hote..balke us galat ko dekh k chup chap bethne waale b utne hee galat hote hai.

Cab: bilkul sahi kaha Navya. Me jaanta hu me b galat hu..isiliye me sorry bolne aaya hu..Nandini..m really sorry.

Nan: its ok Mr. Dhawan..

Cab: itne aasaani se maaf kerdiya? Thats goood. Acha mujhe ek aur baat bolni thi. Wo actually aaj mujhe kuch kaam hai mom k saath to me tuitions me late aasakta hu?

Nandini was looking with wides eyes..

Nan: r u like seriously asking me permission to come late in tuitions that u rarely even listen to??

Cab: yeah..i know its sounding weird..but this is the fact..i want to b known as CABIR..and not only as son of Veer Dhawan..n all thanx to u..

Nan (smilingly): m glad that u started thinking this way...n no problem..u can come late today..

Cab: wowww...u can smile too...i mean i have always seen u in strict mood..never being friendly..a typical Hitler..a lady hitler (and laughs out loud)

Navya and Nandini pass a glare to Cabir, raising an eyebrow..seeing their glares, he stops laughing..

Cab: ehemmm..ok then..i will leave.

After attending their classes, Nandini and Navya were leaving from college when..

Nan: navya..kal aaogi mere saath?

Nav: arre..ye b koi puchne waali baat hai kya..hum zarur aayenge.

Nan: theek hai..me tumhe address sms kerdungi..kal subah 10 baje aaja na.

Nav: ok. Chalo phir kal milte hai. Bye

Nan: bye

Malhotra Mansion, 3 pm

Nandini enters the mansion n finds Mukti and Aliya sitting there

Muk: oh so here comes our Miss Tutor..perfect on time ha..must say..u r very punctual

Nan: thank u for ur compliment..now could u plz call Mr. Vedant and Mr. Malhotra so that we can start our class..

Al: i think u forgot to mention about Mr. Dhawan!! Though u r punctual..but i guess u have a bad memory..we r fab 5..n 5 means 5 members..

Nan: well Ms. Saxena..i knw that Mr. Dhawan wud b late for the class today so thats y i ddnt bother asking..

Mukti n Aliya both get surprised on knowing that Nandini already knows about Cabir's whereabouts..

Muk: how do u knw that?

Nan: well..thats really not important..now can we start our tuition.

Man: stop ur rants of this tuition crap

Nandini turns back to find Manik n Dhruv standing at the door. Manik comes and stands in front of Nandini

Man: just stop all this drama..this tuition..this challenge thing n all..lets make a deal.. i will give u all ur amount that u r taking for this tuition thing..ryt now..in cash..n in return u just leave us alone..
Think about it..its a very profitable deal for u..i mean there is no input from u n yet u will b getting paid..

Nan (chuckling): must say Mr. Malhotra. ..u r not a good businessman. I mean ur deal is definitely profitable for me..but a big loss for u..n business deals r not done on losses. No worries..m here to teach u the right way..and about ur deal..so i clearly reject it. And now if we r done with this..can we proceed?

Hearing Nandini rejecting HIS deal, Manik gets furious.. after the last night's conversation with cabir..he anyhow wanted to get rid of Nandini, by hook or by crook. Holding her elbow, he turns her around..

Man: listen...dont take footage. When m telling u i will pay u..then y dont u just take ur money n leave? What else do u want?

Nandini gets herself free from his hold n says..

Nan: what is ur exact problem Mr. Malhotra? These tuitions or the tutor?
U anyhow want to get rid of me right?

Muk: finally..like finally u understood what we want. N now when u knw..so just take ur money n leave.

Al: And we have a problem wd u..not with tuitions..we will hire someone else for our tuitions.

Nan: yea..someone who would b a scared kitten in front of u..someone who wouldnt b able to answer u back..so basically u guys r scared of me..coz i have been strong at my place and u guys couldn't move me..is that the reason u dont want me to give u tuitions?

Muk (getting angry): thats not the only reason Nandini. We still haven't forgotten what u had done with us..precisely with Manik the last year..n thts y we cant stand u in front of us..
(Getting closer to Nandini)
We.hate.u Nandini
(Emphasizing on each word)

Nan: i dont believe u guys r still stuck there. Well, then let me remind u..it was u guys who started with everything..(looking at Mukti) Remember???

Flashback

It was fresher's party in Space School of Business where every student's attendance was made a compulsion. The hall was decorated beautifully where one side eating arrangements were done, the other side had a huge stage and sitting arrangements on the other side. The sitting arrangements had round tables with 5 chairs alloted for every table. Nandini, being a punctual person, had reached on time. Since she had not made friends with anyone and everyone made fun of her dressing sense..no one approached her either. She went n took a seat at one of the tables. Soon the hall got filled by students, some had occupied the stage n were dancing, some were just gobbling up the food and some were sitting randomly. Fab5 had reached late in the party, and were in no mood of dancing, so they just wanted to occupy a table n be with themselves. Looking around the hall, they found almost all tables occupied, leaving Nandini's table, where she was sitting alone busy in her mobile. Fab5 proceeded towards her n in full attitude..

Al: hey u..whatever ur name is..just get up n leave this table..we want to sit here.

Nandini ddnt even budge on hearing Aliya.

Al(raising her volume n speaking close to Nandini's ear): hellooo..r u deaf or what? I said get up n leave.

Nandini looks at her n closes her ear..n gives her an irritated look n gets back to her mobile again.

Muk: what the hell..how dare u ignore her? Ddnt u hear what she just said? Get up n go n find urself another place coz we..FAB5 want to sit here.

Again no response.

All this was just increasing their temper.

Cab: mahila ji.. (looking at her from top to bottom with suspicious eyes), haan mahila hee hai.. haan to mahila jii..aap kya uncha sunti hai? Ya aapko angrezi samajh nahi aati..usne aapse kaha k aap yaha se uthe..aapne suna nahi?

Nan: haan suna

This gives them a shock..she heard yet not obliged...thats something tht has never happened with fab5.

Dhr: agar suna to y ddnt u get up?

Nan: coz i dnt want to.

Manik was losing all his temper. How dare a newbie insult his friends. He points a finger at her n says..

Man:listen u Miss whatever...how dare u not accept what she is asking u to do?

Nan: first of all..its Nandini.. n secondly..she never "asked" me..she just kept foward what she "wanted", and that too in the most rude way.
And i too, just kept forward what i "want", but in a polite way.

Al: how bloody dare u call me rude? Who the hell do u think of urself? Do u knw who we r? We r fab5..the fab5. N we want to sit here on this table..so now just get up n leave.

Nan: well..thnx for the introduction..but i dont wish to get up from here..as u can see..all other tables r full..but yes..if u want u guys can adjust urselves on these 4 chairs..i wont mind sharing the table

Muk: r u crazy? Do u think we fab5 will share our table..that too with u??no ways..

Nan: as u wish.

Manik was about to yell when suddenly the principal comes n gives them a welcome speech.

Fab5 conversation :
Muk: how dare she? Samajhti kya hai khudko..aise behave ker rahi thi as if kahi ki rani hai..huh..

Al: rani?? Look at her Mukti..look at her dressing sense..who comes to a fresher's party wearing such clothes? N on top of tht, she was dreaming of sharing her table with us..huh..but the end point is she just refused to get up..n now we r here..standing in the middle..with no place to sit.

Dhr: relax Aliya...dnt wry..we can go n sit on any table..

Muk: yea..she is a newbie here. .only she is the one who has gone against us..others wont even dare to say a word knowing who we r..

Man: but we need to teach her a lesson..how dare she call Aliya rude..

Manik goes towards Nandini's table..he removes his jacket and keeps it on one of the chairs..Nandini sees him but doesnt say anything..

Man (faking a smile): i hope u dnt mind me keeping my jacket here.

Nan: its a college property and not mine..y would i mind.

Manik leaves n goes towards the centre after signalling something to fab5.

All lights get dimmed and a spot light falls on Manik..who is standing in the middle of the stage with a mic..

Man: hello students!!hope u guys r enjoying the freshers..

Students hoot on hearing him.

Man: well..it seems so. Ok..i knw tht all of u must have really worked hard and spent a lot of time n money to get into ur best of looks..especially girls (with a smirk)..so i thought y not we give u all some appreciation in the form of a small gift..what say?

And students start hooting n going all crazy..especially girls..after seeing the killer smirk of Manik.

Man: ok so..i must say all of u r looking really well..but as the rule says...only one winner..so here is the winner..a person who has dressed in an extraordinary way..completely different from others..so plz guys..welcome the winner on stage..
Miss Nandini...

Another spotlight falls on Nandini n she gets a bit confused..

Man: Miss Nandini..can we plz have u on stage..

Nandini, being unaware of fab5's intentions n mischieves..thought of going on the stage..she reached the stage and stood at some distance from Manik.

Man: so guys...plz give a round of an applause for the winner of The most Unique student..miss Nandini...

Before students could clap..Aliya speaks up loudly..

Al: but Manik..u ddnt tell us that whom is she representing..the girls side or the boys...coz she looks like a girl but her dressing is just of the boys..or is it that she is representing both??

And all start laughing at Nandini. Nandini looks at Aliya n finds fab4 sitting on the table that she had occupied. Nandini now undertands Manik's motive of calling her up on the stage.
She looks at Manik who was giving her an evil smile.

Man: well..that i leave upto u guys to decide..or y dont u hear it from Nandini herself, which side is she representing.. Ryt Nandini??

Nandini doesnt respond to all this. She was just standing n observing the heights of sickness of these rich spoilt kids..who find no shame in humiliating someone in public.

Man: so now time for some gifts session. Our first gift would b a very pretty name..or should i say a tag name for our winner..n i need help from all of u..come on...give a name..

Girl1: tom boy

Man: nahh..too common..hai na Nandini? Come on guys..she is Unique..so give her a Unique name.

Cab: i have a perfect Unique name for her..
SONI MUNDA

n all students start laughing hysterically on hearing the name. Manik too giggles..

Man: well thats a beautiful name..u like it Nandini? Oh i m sure u wud..after all fab5 has given u this Unique name...
And now time for the other gift..woh kehte hai na k khushi me moo meetha karaana chahiye..so can someone get us some sweet for Nandini plz...

Muk: of course Manik..i will get it..

N she throws a piece of cake aiming at Nandini which directly hits her on her face..n that was enough to make people go crazy in laughing...

Muk: oops..sorry..it slipped.

Man (going close to Nandini ): hope u understood the consequences of messing up with fab5.

Nandini gets down of the stage n starts moving. Fab5 go up the stage n hi-fi with Manik.

Cab: wow yaar Manik..that was real fun..i so loved it.

Al: seriously Manik..u gave life to this boring party..n also an unforgettable lesson to that girl..

Muk: a.ah..Aliya..dont snatch her gift from her..her "tag name"..SONI MUNDA

Dhr: but dnt u think it went a little overboard?

Cab: relax Lover boy..its a fab5 style prank..and u knw.......

He stops in between when he finds Nandini coming back towards the stage holding Manik's jacket in her hand. Finding Cabir staring at one point..fab5 turn to see n find the same scene. Nandini comes on the stage gaining attention from all the students. She goes in front of Manik..n showing him his jacket...she starts cleaning the cake from her face.

Man: what the hell???how dare u?

Nandini after cleaning her face throws the jacket on Manik's face..

Nan: well..moo meetha dono parties ka karaate hai..so here u r with ur share.
(Turning towards fab4)

Nan: m sure u guys wont mind sharing it with him..i knw tht i have used it before..but i guess u guys r completely fine with having something that I have left..just like tht table..nai?

Man (getting furious): Nandini u...

Nandini cuts him in between: thank u..thank u for choosing me as THE MOST UNIQUE STUDENT. I hope ur vocabulary is good enough to knw the meaning of Unique.. "something different amidst similar things". N u found me to be unique that means u r similar to anyone n everyone standing here.. so thank u..
Enjoy ur cake..

Saying so she gets down from the stage and moves out of the hall..leaving behind shocked students and furious fab 5.

Nan (to mukti): looking at ur expressions i think u remember it clearly. N now if flashbacks r done..can we come back to present and start with our lessons?

Manik got furious on recalling the past..he just goes away from there and heads towards his room.

Nan: Mr. Vedant, would u plz go n call Mr. Malhotra? We have already wasted a lot of time.

Dhruv was about to go when Mukti stops him.

Muk: y shud Dhruv go? U r our tutor n its ur job..n remember one thing..FAB 5 DOES EVERYTHING TOGETHER..IF WE R IN..WE R IN TOGETHER..so unless u dnt call Manik..we wont start the tuitions.

Nandini shakes her head a little as if thinking about their childish behaviour..n starts moving towards Manik's direction.

Dhr: mukti..y dd u send her behind Manik? U knw how Manik becomes when he is angry..especially now..when Nandini is the reason.. He simply goes out of control.

Muk (smiling evilly): thats why i have sent her..to face Manik's real anger..coz we all knw..facing Manik's anger is not like facing our challenges..it worse than that.

Al: wow mukti..tht sounds like a plan. N then she would b out.

Nandini was looking for Manik when she hears some sounds coming from a room. She goes in the direction of sound n finds Manik throwing and breaking things to calm himself.

Nan: so Mr. Malhotra needs to break things to control his anger..

Manik turns back to find Nandini..the last person he wished to see at the moment..he was furious..angry on himself..he was a confused soul at the moment..he ddnt knw y was he getting angry. On recalling the past, he was getting furious at the way students were laughing n making fun of Nandini. N this is y he was getting angry at himself tht y is it effecting him so much...he is not able to understand y he is feeling this way..y instead of being angry at Nandini for ruining his jacket n throwing it at him, n now rejecting his offer..he is angry at those students who humiliated her yesterday and on the freshers. He was already disturbed with Cabir's words..n now this added more to his fuming anger, and in that anger he went close to Nandini n got hold of her shoulders n pinned her to a wall..standing very close to her..

Man (getting all angry):y r u doing this? Tum sirf mere saamne sherni banti ho..couldnt u smack those asses' heads yesterday who were passing disgusting comments on u?

Nandini gets surprised on hearing this from him..she ddnt knw that Manik was angry on hearing those comments..she thought it doesnt matter to him..but now..hearing all this. .she was taken off-guard, n somewhere down in her heart..she felt a different feeling..something that she never felt in her life..something tht she herself couldnt explain..she was still in her those feelings when Manik snapped her out of her thoughts..

Man (shouting): speak up dammit!!

Downstairs..Mukti n aliya were getting all happy on hearing Manik shouting on Nandini. Now they were sure that today is Nandini's last day as their tutor.

Nandini doesnt answer Manik..she moves Manik n comes out of his hold..

Nan: Mr. Malhotra we need to start our class so plz come down.

Saying so she starts moving out of the messed room..when again Manik stops her by grabbing her wrist and turning her with a force..the force was such that Nandini stumbled on the clothes that were scattered at the ground n falls taking Manik with her..both fall on the bed with Nandini down and Manik on top of her..

As soon as their eyes meet, both again feel tht connection with each other.. but Nandini breaks the eye lock soon n tries to push Manik..getting him out of his glance.. Manik holds Nandini's hand on the sides to stop her from pushing him.

Man (in a deep lost voice): y r u doing this? Y r u taking all these challenges? Y dnt u leave?

Nan: y do u want me to leave?

Man (in same deep voice): coz i dnt want u close to me.

Nandini gets hurt on hearing this. For the first time in 2 years she felt hurt with what Manik said.. she doesnt knw why..but she did. Manik sees the pain tht came into Nandini's eyes..he comes more close to Nandini n continues in same voice..

Man: dont come near me Nandini..i only harm people..n u have seen that..
N i can very easily harm U..

Nan: y

Man (going more close to Nandini in the same lying position): coz u get the real me out..u get all my emotions out..even those which i have kept hidden n have not allowed anyone to see them..U reach there n force me to get them out..

Nan: then stop running..running is not a solution..y r u running away?

Man: coz i have no choice.

Nan: we always have a choice..its just that at times we r scared to see and accept that choice..fearing of losing it..but unless u dnt choose..u wont knw the outcome of your choice.
If u have something that gives u peace, that gives u happiness, that connects ur happiness with ur dear one's happiness..dont let that choice go. Seeing u happy not only gives u happiness..but also to those who love u..who wish to see u happy..
We r defined by our choices Manik..n its U who has to make a definition for urself. Choose wisely..

On hearing his name instead of Mr. Malhotra from Nandini..Manik feels a different good feeling..he unconsciously gets so close to Nandini that now he is lying completely on her..with his full weight on Nandini and face few centimeters away from her..n continues speaking in his deep voice..

Man: u are not supposed to understand me so well Nandini..nor u r supposed to effect me so much.

Nandini..for the first time is not able to say anything..as Manik's proximity is giving her a complete different feel..a feel of being safe..a feel of being secured..she is not able to understand her own feelings..which she is finding to b alien to her..

Manik gets more closer to her..n keeps his forehead n Nandini's forehead..

Man: y r u doing this Nandini?
