Chapter 18.
Manik arranged a farmhouse for the next four days as he didn't wanted to take everyone to his own house and see Nyonika's face again. He asked everyone to pack their bags and report back to college in half an hour. Everybody left.
Mukti however was still thinking about Harshad and Nyonika. She decided to tell everything to Cabir. "Cabir!" She shouted. Cabir turned back looked Mukti with questioning eyes, "What? Tujhe har thori der bad ye daura parna laazmi hai?" He asked in a funny way. Mukti sighed and said, "Cabir! I need to tell you something. It's about Harshad." As he heard his name, he knew something was definitely wrong. "Kya hua?" He asked in a serious way. Mukti told him everything she heard at the basement. "There is definitely something..something wrong.. which we don't know.." He said. "Exactly" Mukti replied. "But mukti, make sure you dont tell anyone else about this.. Already sab itne tensed hain.. You know right? Let's handle this in our way.." Said Cabir. Mukti Nodded.
Location: Farmhouse.
Everybody reached the farmhouse and they were all amazed to see the living room turned into a bedroom. Everybody looked at Manik with questioning eyes. "What? Aise kia dekhrahe ho mujhe?" Said Manik. "Dekhen nai to kya pooja karein teri? Kia hai yeh?" asked Cabir. "Wo..Actually..Dividing everybody in separate rooms was a bad idea.. I knew Nandini would want to stay with a girl.. so um.. Ye sab.." He said looking downward. Nandini was blushing hearing this. "Oh God! Manik, You're too much Man!" Said Mukti.
Suddenly, Nandini's phone rang. It was an unknown number.
"Hello? Who'se there?" She said. "Hey, Hi..It's Me, Aryaman..Aryaman Khurrana.. Your savior, Remeber?" He said. " Oh Aryaman..Hey. How are you?" Nandini replied. Hearing Aryaman's name, Manik came to nandnini, "Is he troubling you?" He asked. Nandini moved her head saying no. "Yeah, I'm fine.. You guys were not here in college so thought of checking on you guys.. Are you fine?" He asked. "Yes..me theek hun.." Nandini replied. "Umm okay so we'll talk later maybe?" He said. "Yeah sure..Bye.." Said Nandini, Manik then went closer to her, "Is everything okay?" Asked Manik. Nandini nodded. Suddenly, Nandini's head started to pain..She started to faint. Manik immediately took her in his arms and placed her on the bed. Manik stood their for too long but then he just couldn't hold on his tears and he didn't wanted to break down infront of Nandini so he left the room. Fab 4 and Navya noticed this. Cabir followed him. He sneaked into his room and saw Manik sitting on the floor, looking at his and Nandini's photo and crying. He was crying like a kid. Cabir felt bad for him and left.
After sometime, manik took Nandini to the Garden to get some fresh air. Both of them were smiling, and pretending to be fine infront of eachother but deep down inside, both of them were broken.
Suddenly, they saw dhruv coming, playing the guitar. Cabir came from behind, kept his hands on Manik's shoulder and started to sing..
**Dhundla jayen jo manzilen, ek pal ko tu nazar jhuka.. (Mukti enters with Guitar, Goes to Manik and sings) Jhuk Jaye sar jahan wahin, Milta hai rab ka rasta.. (Dhruv went to Nandini) Teri qismat, tu badlde..(Navya enters) Rakh himmat, bas chalde.. (All of them singing together) Terey saathi, teray qadmon kay hain nishaan.. Tu na jaanay, aas pas hai khuda..Tu na jaanay aas pas hai Khuda.. (Cabir singing looking at Manik) Khud pey daal tu Nazar, Halaton se haar kar, kahan Chala rey.. (Alya sings side hugging nandini) Hath ki lakeer ko, Morta marorta, Hai hausla rey.. (Dhruv sings) Tu khud terey khuabon ke rang me, tu apney jahan ko bhi rangdey..(Cabir Joins) Key chalta hun mae teray sang mein, ho shaam bhi to kya.. (Navya singing) Jab hoga, Andhera, Tab payega dar mera, us dar pe, phir hogi teri subhaa.. (Singing together) Tu na jaanay Aas pas hai Khuda.. Tu na Jaanay aas pas hai khuda..**

*Meanwhile in the College*
"But Harshad.. Tumhey pata kaisay chala that Nandini..she has brain tumour?" Asked Nyonika. "I heard Cabir, Navya and Nandini talking about this. Pehle to I felt bad but then.. I understood that agar ye news kisi tarhan Manik tak Pohanchjati hai, before the performance..to wo definitely perform nahi kreyga because when it comes to Nandini, Manik goes crazy! And Bang On! That's what happened right?" He said by flashing that evil smile of his. "Bas phir kya tha, I called Nandini's doctor and asked him to do a small favor on me, He called nandini and asked her to come for her radiotherapy. poor Nandini. She's too naive!" Nyonika smiled and said, "You're really something, Harshad! I must say, this time..what you've done ..is commendable! " "Thanks Mrs M! And your idea, it was commendable too.. I pity Nandini. She's having those medicines thinking that they will make her condition better but she doesn't know that they'll make her condition worse." Said Harshad. "Cheers to this" Said Nyonika.

After getting some good sleep, Fab 5, Nandini and Navya finally woke up. "Kia yar guys? Lets have somee funn!" Said Mukti. "Fun..Exactly! Hum kia budhi atmaon ki tarhan bethey hen yar.." Said Cabir. Manik looked at Nandini and she smiled. "So umm.. Truth and Dare..What say guys?" Said Alya. "Not a bad idea!" Said Dhruv.
They all sat down on the floor, making a circle and spinned the bottle. The first one was Cabir and Opposite to him was Mukti. She flashed her evil smile and said, "Ab aya na oonth pahar ke neechey. I so wanted to do this." "So Mr, Cabir Dhawan, When Nandini went missing during that soha incident and Alya said that Manik loves her, you were the only one who was so sure about it. So, How did you get to know about them? When?" She asked. Cabir looked at Manik and Smiled. Nandini was blushing as Manik secretly Kept his hand on hers. "Actually.. Manik never told me.." Said Cabir. "Then how did you know?" Asked Mukti. " Actually I got an idea about this when I was with Raghav. Manik came to know about me being a gay and the best part was, that Nandini told him. Jab that bloody Harshad, Played that video in the night of Musicana I went to Manik and said ke ye sab us nandini ne usay bataya and you guys cannot imagine what he said.." "What?" Asked Alya. "He was like all boiled with anger..Tab he mujhe shak hogaya tha. Then, when those goons ..jo harshad ne bhejey.. tab Manik took me to the hospital and Nandini was with him too.. Though I was not well.. But inka romance tab bhi chaalu tha.. Thats when I became sure, that Manik..The great Manik Malhotra..is in love.." Saying this, he looked at Manik and winked. *Mukti coughs* "To ye sab musicana se chaalu tha and Mujhe kuch pata he nai..wah baba e Manik wah!" She said.
"Okay now Next!" Exclaimed Cabir. The next one was Mukti and opposite to her was Alya. "So um..Mukti.. Who is that one person in your life you can never forget? Just one han.. not all five of us.. " "oh that's a tricky one!" Said Cabir. "How will she choose one between four of us?" Said Manik. Mukti took a deep breath, looked downwards and said, "Abhimanyu.. I can never..Forget him. Never." Listening to this, everyone looked at her. Her eyes became red and tear came rolling down her face. "Oh Mukti, You know I love you..Stay strong.." Said Alya. Cabir side hugged her and made her smile by making one of the funny faces of his. Mukti smiled and hit him playfully with the cushion. "Next Next!" She exclaimed with excitement. This time, it was manik and Opposite to him was, Cabir. "That's more like it!" He exclaimed with excited. "Oh no.." Said Manik. "So, Manik.. sing a song.. for .. Nandini.." Said Cabir. Hearing this, Navya, Mukti, Alya and Dhruv stood up with excitement. "Oh yesss! Manik Manik!" They shouted. Manik hesitated at first but then looked at Nandini, smiled and asked, "May I?" SHe nodded with assurance.He smirked and said "Anything for you!" Manik then stood up, picked up his guitar and started playing it.
** Be tahasha dil ne, tujhko hee chaaha hai, Har dua me mainay.. Tujhko he maanga hai.. (His eyes became red looking at her..He went closer to her, and whispered in her ear) Tera jaana, Jaisey koi bad'dua.. (He turned and wiped away his tears and looked back with a smile on his face) Door jaogay jo tum, Marjayeinge hum.. Sanam teri kasam..(ho oo) Sanam teri kasam (Hoo ) Sanam teri kasam..**
Everybody was touched with this song. Cabir moved forward and side hugged Manik. He whispered in his ear, "I'm sorry.. " Manik patted his shoulder saying, "Don't be.."
Everyone was having a good time together so Navya decided to make some chips for everyone. Manik held Nandini's and and took her away from everyone secretly. "Manik..Kia karahay ho? Sab bahar hain..Leave me.." Said Nandini. "That's the problem Nandini, I can't leave. No, No way.." He said. Nandini knew Manik was hurt and broken by this disease of hers and it was killing him inside. She pulled him closer and whispered in his ear, "I'll fight it. I'll fight it for you. Don't you worry about me, Manik Malhotra! I'm okay. I'll find a way to hang around and annoy you for a long time." Hearing this, Manik kissed her forehead and said, "I know you will.." And smiled his crooked smile.
Mukti knocked the door and shouted, "I know both of you are inside. Bahir anay kay kitne pese logay? Come out guys!" Manik and Nandini looked at each other and smiled. They went outside. "Hogaya?" Asked Cabir. Manik gave an angry look. Cabir smiled and said "What? I mean.. Jo karne gaye they..hogaya kia?" Nandini started to blush. Suddenly, Nandini's Phone started to ring. "Excuseme.." She said to everyone. Manik looked at her and nodded. She went aside and picked up the call, It was the Doctor. "Miss Nandini Murthy, You have to come tomorrow for your checkup.." The doctor said. Hearing this, nandini's heart beat started to race. She looked at manik who was smiling with his friends.. and said to herself, "I can't let you lose that smile of yours..Not because of me..No, No way."
Phewww! This was a long one!! Finally. So, How was it? :D
