Cabir reaches Malhotra mansion and finds Aliya and Mukti engrossed in their mobiles whereas Dhruv was pacing in the hall looking tensed and was looking at Manik's room again n again. Cabir got confused..

Cab: kya bhai log? Huwa kya hai? Aise gumsum kyu bethe ho? N by the way..where is our tutor? Nandini kaha hai?

Muk (smirking): wo apna final ticket lene gai hai...as aaj uska last day hai yaha

Cab: what? What r u saying?

Dhr: me batata hu.
He then narrates everything to Cabir..how Manik offered money..how Nandini rejected his offer...how they opened the freshers incident, how Manik lost his temper n how Mukti asked Nandini to go behind him.

Cab: what have u done Mukti? U kne Manik never controls his temper..then y dd u let Nandini go to him? What if he harms her? Or says something inappropriate?

Mukti n Aliya were shocked to hear all this from cabir

Muk: whats wrong with u cabir? R u seriously worried abt tht girl!!! I dnt believe this..it was fab5's decision ryt to throw her out of the house in 5 days? N now when we got that chance u r backing away..

Al: yes cabir..y r u supporting her? And by the way..how did she know that u r gonna b late today?

Cab: coz i told her that.

This shocks all 3 of them.

Cab: yes i told her..in fact i took her permission to come late..coz i have understood that whatever she is doing is for our own good..not for herself. Think guys..had money been the only aim for her..she could have easily left the job of a driver..coz m sure that mother india would pay her a huge amount..much more than what she earns as a driver. .yet she is still on her job..or she could have accepted Manik's offer..but she ddnt..this clearly shows that she is not interested in making money..but making us capable..n now..i too want to become a capable person..i want to become something..i want to b known as CABIR

Saying so..he moves towards Manik's room to check on them, leaving behind shocked n bewildered fab3.

Manik's room:

Manik was lying completely on Nandini..his body was completely lying on her..and his forehead was on her forehead..with his eyes closed..he leaves Nandini's wrists and holds her palms..interwining their hands..and speaks in a deep heavy voice..

Man: y r u doing this Nandini? Y cant i control myself in front of u? What r u doing to me Nandini?

Nandini was the most confused soul at that moment..technically at this moment, she should have pushed Manik with full force and slapped him for coming so close to her...but what was she doing? She had closed her eyes and was trying to figure out her feelings..she could clearly feel Manik's breath on her face and his calm heartbeats on her chest..which were causing her heartbeats to rise irrationally..she had no idea what was going on with her..all this was new to her..alien to her..and when Manik interwined his hands with hers..she felt a different spark running in her body..she felt some different kind of solace..getting so lost in that newly found solace, Nandini interwines her hands too..
Feeling Nandini responding, Manik tightens his grip on her hands..n relaxes his tensed shoulders, dropping it completely on Nandini..getting closer to her.

Cabir reaches Manik's room n finds the door slightly open.

Cab (confused and scared): ye andar
Itna sannaata kyu hai? Hey Uparwaale..kahi ye kisi aane waale toofan se pehle ki shanti to nahi? I hope not..

Saying so..he slowly pushes the door open and peeps in. He finds the whole room messed up..he looks around to search for Nandini and Manik. His eyes pop out on seeing Manik and Nandini in such a compromising position. But soon his shocked face turns into a smirking one..when he sees Manik so calm after what happened down. But what surprised him was Nandini's response..how come a lady hitler allowed him to come so so close to her.. he silently clicked a pic of theirs n came out.

Cab: wah re Upar waale..kya nazaara dikhaa diya..waise saath me kitne cute lagte hai..aur Nandini..hai kya ye ladki? I mean aaj tak angry hulk ko koi sambhaal nahi saka..but Nandini...how easily she calmed him down..seeing them like this even i feel that partner is ryt..Nandini is an Angel..
Lekin ab inhe inke is beautiful se land se nikaalna hoga..if someone sees them like this na..to hogaya kalyaan.. but kya karu???

He looks around to find something..he finds a vase kept on a nearby table.

Cab: sorry mother india..lekin aaj aapke is vase ko apna balidan dena hoga..
N thud..he throws the vase down.

Hearing the thud sound, both Nandini and Manik open their eyes together with a jerk. Nandini realises their position n gets conscious..

Nan: Mr. Malhotra..

Manik comes out of his glance when he hears Nandini calling him Mr. Malhotra..he looks down n gets surprised on seeing them in such position. . He looks up at Nandini only to find her eyes lowered.. he instantly moves from above her and stands up..looking everywhere but at her..
Nandini too gets up n looks here n there..An awkward silence fills the atmosphere.

On the other hand, hearing the loud noise, fab3 rush upwards..but before they come up..Cabir rushes into Manik's room..

Cab: what's wrong Manik? What happened here? Kuch huwa kya? (Raising his eyebrows as if suspecting on him)

Man: wo...no..nothing..nothing happened.

Fab3 reached Manik's room..

Dhr: kya huwa buddy?

Al: what happened Manik?

Muk: bolna Manik..tu chup kyu hai? Kya huwa? Is Nandini ne kuch kiya kya?

Manik (raising his volume): enough guys..kaha na kuch nahi huwa..stop asking me same questions again n again.

All get surprised with Manik's behaviour.

Nan: ehemm.. well..alot of time has been wasted..so i guess we should start our classes now..i m waiting in the study..u guys come soon.

Saying so she leaves from there.

Cab: come on guys..lets go..

Saying so.. cabir leaves from there followed by Dhruv n Manik..

Muk: what the hell? Aaj us dumbo ki waje se Manik shouted on us!!seriously? ?!!

Al: and not only that..Cabir too supported her..can u believe it..a fab 5 guy asked for permission from a dumb girl???
Mukti..we need to do something. I m feeling as if fab5 is drifting apart. Ek hee din me Cabir n Manik..both shouted at us for this Nandini

Muk: cabir was ryt. Nandini isnt here for money..rather she is here to break fab5.

Al: u r ryt Mukti. .but now what?

Muk: we wont let her win..at any cost. We have to save fab5 n for that..i m ready to do anything..r u?

Al: ofcourse muku..but what r u going to do?

Muk: i have a plan (smirks)

Al: mukku..i think we shud keep this plan to us for today..as cabir n manik both r in wrong moods..we will discuss with them tmrw..what say?

Muk: u r ryt..ok do one thing..u carry on..i will make arrangements for our plan n come.

Al: ok..come fast.

Manik's pov

What.the.hell.was.that? What was wrong with me? What was i thinking? How could i behave so impulsive in front of Nandini?
Nandini....aaaah...this girl is really driving me crazy..what must b she thinking about me? K Manik is so weak..so vulnerable..
Oh God..y couldnt i control myself????
Exactly..i couldnt control myself..i couldnt control myself when i felt a completely different feeling on touching her.. when i saw deep into her eyes..i felt so connected to them..as if these eyes r meant to b for me..to look only at me..to hear only my pain..to give only me my answers..but ONLY ME..i felt as if she is the one who would listen to me without judging..
I couldnt control myself when i felt peace on hearing my name from her mouth in her voice..it was magical..it was soothing..never had i thought tht even my name could bring me peace..
I couldn't control myself when i felt calmness getting into my burning heart on being so close to her..
I couldnt control myself when i felt being in solace on feeling her erratic heartbeats under me..
Kyu use chooke aisa laga jaise bechain rooh ko chain milgaya..betaab dil ko raahat mil gayi..
I felt being at home..
Oh God Nandini..jitna tumse door jasne ki koshish kerta hu..utna tumhare paas khicha chala aata hu..na jaane kaisi kashish hai ye..

Nandini's pov

Aiyappa..ye kya hogaya? I never imagined such things..that too with Manik..evn in my wildest dreams. Why was he behaving like that? N more importantly. .y was i letting him do all that? Jab usne pucha y ddnt i smack those guys' head..kyu mujhe acha laga? Y i felt happy on seeing that it mattered to him?
Y dd i feel hurt when he said he doesnt want me close to him? Y dd i feel pain? Does that mean i want to b close to him? But yy? What is he to me?
Kyu jab wo mere itne kareeb aaya mene use kuch nahi kaha? Moreover mene use hataane ki koshish b nahi ki..Y?
Aiyappa..ye kya horaha hai mere saath? Aap to sab kuch jaante hai na..u knw what the truth is..phir y all these new feelings?? Plz help me to understand all this.

Fab4 (leaving Mukti) reach study.
Manik n Nandini try avoiding each other's gaze whereas Cabir was paying full attention on them.

Nan: where is Ms Vardhan?

Muk: here i m.

Nan: ok so today we will learn basics of business statistics.

N with that she started her lecture. Though each member of fab5 had different thoughts going on  in their minds..Manik n Cabir were thinking about what happened in Manik's room, mukti n aliya were thinking about their plan and dhruv was thinking how to convince them to give Nandini a chance to b their tutor, they couldn't help but pay attention to Nandini's lecture..as her way of teaching was quite appealing.

After 2 hrs she completed the lecture.

Nan: ok so thats it for today.

Cab: aa Nandini..i was thinking k y dnt u tell us about ur today's  challenge? U see..u have managed to stick to us even today..on the 4th day..

Nan (giving a small smile): there is no challenge today

Cab: but y?

Nan (giving one sided smile): seems u r enjoying my challenges!! Well as i said..i play fair games..u ddnt do any challenging thing today n so..i wont give u a challenge in return.

Cab: but who said we ddnt give u a challenge? Infact..aaj ka to sabse zyaaada khatarnaak tha..

Nan (confused ): matlab?

Cab: arre..Monster angry hulk Manik Malhotra k den me aapko bheja..wo b tab jab wo gusse me aag baboola ho rahe the..wo thodi kam hai..hai na Manik? (Looks at Manik smirkingly)

Here hearing all this..Manik n Nandini both recall their moments that happened  few hours ago n both eye each other at the same time. This time Manik breaks the eye contact sooner.

Nan (to control the situation ): i hope u guys remember about tmrw's challenges..

Dhr: yes..we r supposed to come with u ryt..with our one day pocket money.

Nan: yes..
          How much is your one day pocket money?

Mukti n Aliya laugh at her.

Al: do u really think we keep an account of our daily expenses to know our pocket money? We r not down market people Nandini.

Muk: come on Aliya....dont b so rude with her. I mean so what if she struggles hard just to get enough of money to survive and spends money in a calculated manner..this doesnt mean that u laugh at her.
Nandini., actually we have our credit cards..which we use anywhere and everywhee we go..so u knw we dont have a "fixed number" as our pocket money.

Nan: ohkayy...so lets come this way..what is the minimum amount  u spend in one day?

Cab: well Nandini..its not fixed for anyone of us..we never kept a check on our expenses..n i think thts where we went wrong.

Nan: in tht case..lets keep a random amount..what about 10000?

Muk: bas???? Thats it? Chalo koi na..

Nan: so tomorrow morning 9 am i want u guys to b ready with 10000 in cash.

Al: by the way where r we going?

Nan: u will come to know about it tmrw..

Saying so she leaves....leaving them behind thinking about the next day...
The final day..a day which will change a lot of things...a day which will form the root of a lifelong strong bond between 2 people...a day which will decide whether will continue being fab5's tutor or not....a day which will......... (well..lets see tmrw 😉)
