Should not Family come first? You may think so cause they say it's family which remains from our first cry to last breathe.

But is it true for everyone?

Maybe some things are exception too.

It's was an exception to Mukti too.

For her it was all about FRIENDS be it her first cry or maybe her last breathe.

But today they were going. All were going away in their own paths leaving her alone.

First she left, her sister, FAB's Star, Niti Vardhan and now they are leaving.

"Why am I always left alone?" mukti whispered looking at the sky with no stars just black sky and yet it was beautiful.

"And I thought I was Cabir Dhawan urff cabu.." this voice brought mukti out of her land...

"Cabir, ja tu. I don't want to talk." mukti said not even looking at him while cabir sighed and went to sit beside her...

"Cabir , I said you to go.." mukti said again while he kept staring at her without speaking anything..Finally having enough she turned to look at him and that's when he looked away..

"Cabir tu ro raha hai..." mukti asked while making him to look at her..

"NAHI cabir nahi ro raha.." he said and mukti glared at him..

"Toh ye teri aakho se pani aa raha hai.." mukti asked mockingly ...

"Nope, ye aasu hi hai bas cabir ke aakho ke nahi ..."

"Toh would you mind telling me whose eyes are these?" mukti asked pointing at cabir's eyes..

"Muku toh apne cabu ki har baat jan leti thi na..." 

"Cabu..." she hugged him..

"Muku, we were best friend . Just like manik and harshad (unseparable) ,  dhruv , alya and niti (unbreakable trio) like that  it's cabu and muku (BFFS ) ,but what happened that cabu became cabir" he asked and she could just cry...

"She left cabir. Everyone broke, everything broke ."

"I miss her cabu. I miss her so much. " mukti said in between the hug. Cabir tightened his hold and whispered..

"I know muku...We too miss her..."

"First she left, then harshad. I though since now he is back all will be okay. FAB5 will again be together but all are going away cabu. Everyone are going away. Am I so bad that no one wants to be with me?" mukti asked...

"Muku, tera cabu hai na. Wo apni muku ko chodke kaha jayega. Aur tera wo monster tujhe thodi na akela chodega. Star ko kho chuka hai tujhe nahi kho sakta na wo..." cabir said and that's when mukti came out of his hug..

"This time he won't forgive me. " mukti said while looking down...

"And how can you be so sure ? "

"He slapped me.." and cabir was shocked would be an understatement...

"He did what?" cabir whispered..

"He..he sla..slapped me.." mukti spoke in a very low whisper with hiccups..

"Mukti, kya bol rahi hai? Manik ke bareme bol rahi hai tu ? " and when mukti nodded cabir lost..

He started to roam here and there with red eyes...Hands in fist..he was so angry ...

"Why?" after a long silence cabir asked. But before mukti could answer his phone rang and the name that flashed in the screen boiled his blood..

He picked the phone cause he needed answers. So not even letting the caller speak he spoke...

"How could you raise your hand on muku, Manik Malhotra?" and each word had so much anger that anyone could shiver...Mukti asked him not to but he ignored her..

"Come again.." 

"Harshad..." and that caught mukti's attention..

"Manik ka phone tere paas?" cabir asked composing himself..

"WO chod..what were you saying? Raising hand..." before harshad could complete mukti snatched the phone from cabir's hand and put it in speaker..

"Where is manik?"

"Mukti what was cabir saying?"

"I am asking something harshad, where is manik?"

"I don't know. He left his phone in room. And neo maa, alya and dhruv don't know anything. I thought may be he came there so I called..."

"Then search him.." mukti shouted..

"Baccha nahi hai wo..aa jayega. And I want both of you in  MM now. I need to know everything." harshad said and cut the call.

"Let's go . We need to clear things "

***********

"Soha, it's late. You can stay over and also you can meet nandini also."

"No jeff, it's fine. I have to be home otherwise mom will kill me.Also, since you all are here I will meet nandini too soon. "

"Okay if that's what you want."

"So , umm..good bye. See you soon." and with this soha hugged jeff which jeff to reciprocated.

Sitting in her car soha zoomed off .

After mukti left the mansion followed by harshad and cabir soha and jeff were not knowing what to do. 

Alya and dhruv were hugging each other while alya was crying.

"Neo aunty, I guess we should leave." soha asked slowly...

"It's late. Why don't you guys stay over?" she proposed but the girls didn't want to interfere..

"It's okay aunty. Also, mom wants me home and nandini is also alone so jeff should go.." soha said and I nodded with her answer..

"Okay if you want. I will ask the driver to drop you guys."

"No aunty, soha will drop me. " jeff said and after bidding neo bye they left.

Ringing the bell jeff waited for nandini to open the door. And as soon as door opened she was roughly pulled inside and bombarded with question...

"What the hell were you doing with that poha? Didn't you go for a blind date ? And where is your phone? I tried calling you so many times but it's switched off. And why you look so sad? Wait, what happened J?" the last part was full of concern...

Nandini pulled jeff inside and made her sit in sofa and forwarded a glass of water.

After drinking the water, jeff looked towards nandini and spoke everything about her blind date, soha, her reaching MM, meeting harshad and his family which is non other than FAB5 and finally the argument and the statement of alya which was still ringing in her ears, 

"FAB5 is over."

"What do you mean by over?"

"I don't know. From their talks it seems they are parting ways and it seems for forever."

And their was silence. A long silence if one can add.

After what seemed like eternity nandini spoke,

"We will bring FAB5 back." 

"Nanz...but.." jeff looked at her with disbelief..

"I know how it feels when relations broke. I just don't want their pure friendship to end. From what I have know from you and myself know about them , I just know they are friends forever and if they part ways, it won't be good ..especially for Manik. " the last part she spoke was just for her to hear. 

"But what we are going to do?"

"We will think later. For now you are tried, go and rest."

Jeff was not in any condition to talk. All the happenings were too much for her.  All was so good, happy, full of fun and teasing but it all flew away like a puff of smoke.

In MM..

"Mukti..." harshad spoke and he was instantly by cabir's side...

"Harshad relax, so rahi hai. Bohot der se ro rahi thi toh thakan ke karan gadi mein hi so gayi. I didn't feel like waking her so I carried her." cabir said who have carried sleeping mukti in his arms..

"Okay, tu use niche ke kamre mein hi sula de.." cabir nodded and went away..

Alya who had followed him,  helped cabir in tugging mukti properly. When she came out she saw tensed looks in everyone faces and all were silent at once...

"Umm, alu , mukti might wake up anytime. You do one thing sleep with her only." harshad said while she looked at him with disbelief..

"Kaha hai manik?" she asked making everyone to sigh..

"We don't know. Buddy didn't even took his phone and neither he took car. He took mukti's bike and maybe he..." dhruv didn't complete the sentence seeing alya shout at him..

"Dare you complete that Mr. Vedant. " her eyes were red in anger..She continued ...

"Cabir, be with mukti. She needs her best friend for now. " without saying anything cabir left towards the room where mukti was...

"Bhai, I don't know what happened between you two but he needs his best friend bhai. Please go. I am sure he will be there only . " alya said while looking at her brother with teary eyes...

"I know he will be there. " harshad said while side hugging alya and kissed her forehead while whispering ...

"Dhruv too misses his best friend. You guys are lovers but before that you are his best friend. And he too misses his other best friend just that he does not show ." harshad said seeing dhruv going towards his room without saying anything....

" If only she was here..." alya whispered and a tear left her eye..Harshad spoke while wiping it..

"She is here alya and pouting seeing her two best friends not talking in her absence. " 

"Go, and make him live those days of unbreakable trio. " he said and alya went with a smile and determination to get her best friend back..

"Chal beta manik baba ko dhoodhne. Kitna pareshan karta hai ye ladka. Aur nakhre toh iske, kya batu.." muttering to himself he too left to fetch his lambu best friend .

****************

"J uth, J...J..." nandini shouted making jeff to wake up with a jerk..

"Kya huwa? " jeff asked all startled..

"Mujhe idea mil gaya.." nandini said with a wide grin..

"Kis cheez ke liye?" jeff asked unknown to what this crazy girl was upto..

"Aree to bring FAB5 back together." and all sleep flew away from jeff's system...
