Specially Dedicated to the two girls without whom, this story wouldn't have been Possible. This one's for you Nandini and Ghazna! ❤

Finally, They were all under one roof. "I want My Answers." Manik ordered.

"Yes Harshad, Enough of this hide and seek now. This time, you have taken this too far and trust me when I say this, You have crossed all your limits." Said Mukti, looking into Harshad's eye. 

"What do you mean? What Answers?" Asked Harshad, Hesitatingly.

"Oh stop it now!," Began Cabir "You think we are crazy? I saw you talking to the doctor! I know that you bribed the doctor. I know that you and Nyonika were together in this. I know that Doctor Singhanya was giving you all the information regarding Nandini."

Manik was stunned to hear this and so was everyone else. 
"You knew this? So why the hell didn't you tell me?" Asked Manik. His tone was strict and He was obviously very angry. 

"I wanted to tell you Manik but I just couldn't. Nandini was unconscious and you were already so worried. I didn't wanted to make things worse for you." 

"Exactly Manik," Said Mukti "You were not in the right state of Mind. So much was going on in your life and We didn't wanted to Stress you more."

Anger is a small word. At that point of time, I felt like Killing Harshad. How could he?  Manik went upto him and held his collar, "You Jerk." He said in a low voice. His voice was however, laced with anger and His eyes were blood red. "I always Knew that You can do anything to harm me and to destroy me but this? You wanted to Kill her? You wanted to take away My Happiness? My life? I Just can't believe this! You have stooped down to such a level. God!" He said, pushing him away. 

"Look Manik..Listen to Me.." Said Harshad.

"Listen to what? That how you and my Mother tried their best to Kill Nandini?" Manik was literally screaming. He could bear anything, listen to anything but when it comes to Nandini, He Just loses it.

"So Now I get it," Began Dhruv "Music Gala mein, tumney pehle Nandini ko Gayab kara because you knew that If Nandini won't be there, Manik wont perform and then you entered as a Wild Card."

"And then You bribed Nandini's doctor to get all the information." Said Mukti. 

All this while, one person was quiet and that was Alya. She just couldn't believe that her brother could stoop so low. "That Day when Mr Mathur called us all to the Auditorium, Someone locked Nandini in the Hospital. Was that you, Bhai?" She finally questioned.

Harshad's eye widened hearing this. He was lying on the floor. "Yes." He finally Said. That was enough for Manik. He went further and kicked him hard and shouted, "Why, Dammit!"

"Because I wanted to Win! I wanted to destroy you. I wanted you to lose and I was so Sure, So damn sure that Nandini won't reach on time but I don't know how she got out of that room. I have no idea who the hell got her out from there." Shouted Harshad.

"I got her out." Said Aryaman. That surely came as a shocker! Just when things started to make sense, Aryaman spoke and messed up everything. 

"What do you mean?" Asked Mukti. 

"Fine. It's High time now!" Aryaman began, taking a deep breath. "Hello Everyone, I'm Aryan. Nandini's Childhood Best Friend." He said looking at us.

We were all stunned to hear this. "What the hell? What are you saying? Stop making up fake Stories." Said Cabir.

"The Truth. Shall I start from the beginning?" He asked.

"Look Aryaman, don't complicate things further. Stop this Non-sense." Warned Mukti. 

"Let him speak, Mukti." Said Manik. I don't know why, I was now getting positive vibes from this Guy. If he and Harshad were a team, He would've killed Nandini but he Didn't. He saved her.

"Nanduu, Nandu Aram se." Said Navya as she adjusted Nandini's Pillow.

"Where is Manik?" Nandini asked Immediately. 

"Manik..I don't know. Manik ka mere pas Call aya and he asked me to Stay with you until he comes back. Oh wait, he didn't ask me. He Ordered me." Said Navya, Stressing on the word 'Ordered'

"But Navya, wo hai kahan? And the rest of them, I mean the Fab 5? Where is everyone?" Nandini was tensed. 

"Pata Nahi Nandini Achanak se Sab chalay gaye. Ek Call aya and they disappeared. I saw them running towards the roof top." Said Navya. 

"I need to talk to Manik." 

"What Happened Nandini? Sab Theek haina? You look so worried. Aisi kia bat hai?" 

"No Navya, Nothing is fine. It's about Aryaman." 

"Aryaman?" Navya was stunned to hear his name. "What about Aryaman? Did he try to Harm you?"

"No. Navya, I know him. He's not Aryaman. He's Aryan. We were Best Friends in US." 

"Nandu, tumhara dimaag Kharab hogaya hai? Kia kia bolrahi ho?"

"No Navya, I'm serious. I'm sure it's him! I saw that tattoo on his back."

"What Tattoo? And wait, two people can have the same tattoo can't they? You're just over-thinking, Nandini."

"No! I'm not over thinking. I'm damn sure. The moment I asked him whether he's Aryan, He made an excuse and left. I'm telling you navya, It's him only." Nandini was dead sure.

"Okay Nandini, Just Calm down. Have your medicines and then we will tell this to Manik, Okay?" Said Navya, patting on Nandini's shoulder.

"No, Navya. I want to see Manik Right now! Call him, Please." Insisted Nandini.

"Fine." Saying this, Navya Dialed Manik's Number. 

"What happened?" Asked Nandini.

"His Phone is Switched off."

~~~~~~~~~~~xxx~~~~~~~~~~~

"I'm warning you Aryaman. Just the truth. Got it?" Said Manik. 

"I had planned to visit India on 5th of this Month. I wanted to Surprise Nandini so I didn't tell her about My arrival. I called Chachi and told her but she said that she will be leaving for Mangalore along with Chacha and Rishabh on the 3rd. Chachi ne kaha kay tum 2 din pehle ajao. Nandini ko surprise bhi miljayega and there would be someone to take care of her too So I agreed. I reached India on 3rd and on my way to Nandini's house, I saw her."

"Wait." Interrupted Manik. 

"What?" Asked Aryaman. 

"You said you Saw her, Right?" 

"Yes. So?"

"Then how come Nandini didn't recognize you? I mean, if you can recognize her that means she can recognize you too." Asked Manik.

"Chachi sent her picture. If you want, I can show you?" Said Aryaman confidently and Manik was convinced.

"So, I saw her. I was happy to see her but I didn't come out of the Cab because as I said, I wanted to surprise her. Just then, I noticed her legs shivering. I immediately went upto her but till then, she fainted. I took her to the Hospital and as I'm a doctor myself, I checked her reports and I was astonished. She had Brain tumor! I was hell confused. I just couldn't decide if I should tell her who am I or should I hide it. She looked extremely tensed so Surprising her was definitely not a good idea!"

~~~~~~~~~~xxx~~~~~~~~~~

"Why is his phone switched off? Take me to the Rooftop Navya. Please!" Nandini was getting out of control. She was being so impatient. 

"Aisi bhi kia emergency hai Nandu? It's not a big thing!" 

"It is a big Thing Navya. I know he is Aryan but What is he doing here? And where is he right now? Manik yahan nahi hai, Aryan nahi hai and Fab 5..even they are not here. Where has everyone disappeared? Navya please, take me to Manik."

"Fine. Let's go." Said Navya.
