"If you're making up this Story, I swear I'll kill you right here." Threatened Manik.

"You think I'm crazy?" Questioned Aryaman.

"When it comes to Nandini, I can't trust anyone."

"So, What's the Point? Agar tumhe meri bat man'ni he nahi hai then why are you interrogating me? Why did you bring me here? Why are you asking me such questions when you don't want to believe me?"

Just when Manik and Aryaman were arguing with eachother, I reached the Roof Top. I Immediately ran towards Aryaman and a lonely tear escaped My Eye as I hugged him. In that Particular Moment, I didn't even thought how anyone would feel or react to this. Specially, Manik. When it comes to me, Manik becomes extra protective. That sudden hug left him stunned. Surely, no one expected such a thing from me.

After a while, Manik held My hand angrily and pulled me towards him. His eyes were blood red, with Anger obviously. I looked at him and he ordered me to stay there, with him.

"Nandu, ye kia tha?" Questioned Navya.

"Guys," I began, "Tum log ghalat samjhrahe ho, Atleast give him a chance to speak."

Manik looked at me Angrily, and said in a strict voice, "Really Nandini? You seem to know alot about him?"

Okay, now he was jealous. It was so obvious.

"Manik. I know him." And As I said that, everyone looked at me in a state of confusion.

"How?" Asked Manik.

"He's Aryan. Dr. Aryan Khurrana."

Manik's eye widened hearing this. So did Aryaman's. He certainly had no idea that I know all of this. His truth was out before time or maybe, just on time.

"Nandini wait," Began Mukti, "I think there's some confusion."

"There's no confusion Mukti. I know him!" I Protested.

"So basically, you're trying to say that he's a nice guy? There's nothing negative about him?"

"What do you mean, Mukti? Say clearly."

"If he's a nice guy and has to do nothing with this whole thing then how the hell did he know about the Farmhouse which Manik had booked for us. Like, how did he reach there? A doctor doesn't behave like this or does he?"

"Wait, What!?" Manik freaked out. He had no clue about this.

"Yeah," I spoke, "I mean, I saw him. We even talked for a while. He was there."

Manik moved towards Aryaman, held him by his collar, looked straight into his eye (With anger obviously) and said, "You know what? I actually thought you're telling the truth but no, I can't trust you!"

"For God Sake Manik, Leave me!" He stressed on each and every word hoping that atleast this Time, Manik would give him a chance. A Chance to explain himself, Explain each and everything that Happened in the last few months.

"You can't just boss around all the Time, dammit!" Complained Aryaman.

For a minute, Manik just kept looking at him in utter surprise.

Aryaman turned towards Mukti and Said, "You're right. I was present at his farmhouse that day. Ever wondered why? Did you even try to figure it out? Oh wait a second, how would you? You must have been too busy in assuming things, right?"

Okay, this was some serious sarcasm. I tried to move ahead and stop this argument but Manik blocked my way. "Don't." He ordered.

"You know why did I come there?" Questioned Aryaman, looking at Mukti. "To protect Nandini!"

Alya raised her eyebrow in confusion and Began, "You think she's unsafe with us? With Manik? Oh Aryaman, stop it now. Such lame excuses won't work!"

Aryaman giggled a little, looked into Alya's eye and said, "She's unsafe when your evil brother is around, Ms Alya Saxena!" This time, his voice was strict and loud which caused Alya to step back in fear.

"Watch out!" Spat Manik. After all, No matter what happens, no one has the right to talk to his friends like that.

"And you, Mr Manik Malhotra," Began Aryaman as he strided towards Manik, "While you were busy humiliating, taunting and insulting Nandini, Your Mother and Your friend's brother left no chance to finish Nandini. They tried their best to kill her dammit!"

So Aryaman didn't know anything. Basically, he didn't know about Manik and Nyonika Mam's bitter relation. The give and take relation. And Also, he had no idea about Alya and Harshad's bond. He didnt know that Alya was very well aware about her brother's evil mind and how much it hurted her to face the truth. The truth that he is her brother.

"ARYAN!" I shouted.

"Let it be, Nandini. He's right." Said Manik.

I could see the hurt in his eyes. I could see the Pain he was going through.

"How do you know?" Asked Cabir.

"After seeing Nandini's report, I changed My mind. I Decided that I won't tell her about My Identity and will first try to analyze the situation. So, I Changed her reports and came to the Space academy. I went to the College canteen because mostly, that is the place from where you get to know about all the gossip and news about the College and guess what? Manik and Nandini are definitely the talk of college. From there, I came to know that you two were a thing. I investigated and finally, I came to know the details."

"The details?" Questioned Mukti.

"Yes. That how Nyonika Malhotra threatened Nandini and forced her to give that Statement and how you people were fool enough to believe her. Like, didn't you even for once, tried to listen her?"

"Aryan Please." I ordered. I didn't wanted Manik to regret this, AGAIN. He already suffered alot and starting this all over again, was definitely not a good idea. For me, Manik was everything. My love, My friend, My Supporter and I just couldn't afford to see him in pain.

"Fine," He said. "So for the first time ever, I used my sources to get Admission in Space. Slowly and Gradually, I realized that You two are still in love. I saw another side of Manik. Like, First he insulted you and then he used to sit in a corner all alone and talk to himself. He used to look at your picture and cry."

Hearing this, My eyes sparkled. I felt like I was the most luckiest girl in this entire world. I had someone I could count on. I had someone I knew would never let me suffer, ALONE. I looked at Manik but he didn't look at me. He just kept looking at Aryaman. I think, he was still in a state of shock. He just couldn't believe the fact that all this while, he was being watched.

"On the Music Gala Night, I saw Nandini leaving the College in a hurry. As I moved outside, I saw Harshad and Nyonika. They were laughing. I hid behind the pole and tried to hear their conversation and on that they, I understood everything. I got all my answers!"

"What Answers?" Asked Manik.

"Nandini's doctor was a fraud. Harshad and Nyonika had bribed him and asked him to give wrong Medicines to Nandini. On their order, the doctor called Nandini and asked her to come to the Hospital immediately. You know why?"

"Why?"

"Because they knew that Navya had confronted you all. They knew that you will try to reach Nandini and If you won't find Nandini, you will not perform and if Manik won't perform, The Fab 5 won't Perform! So basically, in this way, their evil plan would work. Since the Fab 5 left the Competition in between, Harshad got a chance to preform as a wild Card entrant!"

This was it. This was it for Manik. His blood was boiling with anger and Harshad braced himself for the battle that was just about to begin. Tbe fear and horror was visible on Harshad's face. He made a move to escape but unfortunately, Cabir and Dhruv didn't let him go.

"You bloody jerk!" Shouted Manik as he Punched his face Hard Causing his nose and lip to bleed but that was not enough. Harshad deserved more than this.

"You have to Pay for this!" Saying this, Manik held him by his collars. Harshad was stuck. He had no other choice now. He was badly stuck!

"I'm not finished Yet, Manik." Said Aryaman and everyone turned their faces towards him and everyone includes Manik and Harshad Aswell.

"What else!?" Questioned Cabir.

"There's alot More."
