"Nandini, tum yaha kya kar rahi ho?" nandini heard the familiar voice so she turned around and found her one and only friend navya standing there with a confused expression. Thanking ayaipaa for sending her nandini  started talking with navya.

"Navya, mujhe lagta he mere watch kharab hogayi hai ." nandini told to navya while slightly shaking and slapping her watch so that it shows correct time,I know it's foolish of her but never mind.From navya's expression it was clear that she didn't understood anything but nandini was busy doing her job of shaking her watch.

"Nandini,tumhare watch kharab hone se tum yaha kya kar rahi ho ka jabaab kese aaya?" navya asked nandini with amused expression as anyone will ask that as nandini's answer was not relevant at all.

"Navya , me aaj subhe late uthi phir mujhe college ane mein late hogaya.Par mere watch ke hisab se me sirf 15 minutes late hun par yaha toh 1st class hi khatam hogaya he.Dekho pura class khali he. Iss liye mene kaha ke mera watch kharab hogaya." nandini spoke all this in one go but her concentration was still in her watch while navya has the same expression that you have now ...of course of shock and that was followed by laughter.

Navya broke out in uncontrollable laughter finally getting attention of nandini as well as other students who were nearby. Confusion was written all over the face of nandini but that soon changed into irritation that she spoke

"Navya ,what's wrong with you and what's so funny there.Here I missed my first class and you are laughing without any reason.Did I just crack a joke god dammit?" nandini shouted making everyone present there to escape as she was looking no less than a wounded tigress who could pouch on anyone. 

Navya was also scared and her laughter also subsided as how nandini was always calm since she had met her but here she was showing her new version.Seeing her scared face of navya, nandini softed a bit and placed a hand in navya's shoulder.

"Navya, oh..I am sorry actually I never compromise with my study and here I missed my first class on second day of my college and on top of that banar sena is not leaving my mind so I shouted but sorry ." nandini apologized in a soft tone after listening to which anyone will forgive her than who is navya.

"Nandini. it's ok hum samaj sakte he. Par hum ye batana chahate he ki tumhara watch kharab nahi huwa he." said navya in a calm tone while holding hand of nandini.

"Iska matlab he ki lecture khatam hogaya wo bhi sirf 15 minutes me.How is it possible navya?"nandini again asked to navya while navya was just controlling her laughter as she does not want to piss off nandini once again.

"Nandini wo kya he na lecture kabhi suru hi nahi huwa kyun ki 1st lecture cancel hogaya hai."navya made nandini understood in a soft tone while nandini just nodded her head.

"Ok but tum yaha kya kar rahi toh phir?"nandini asked navya and here the conversation reached the same point from where it started but here the only difference is the question is asked by nandini to navya while in first it was exactly opposite.

"Hum na tumhe hi dhood rahe the.Aur hume laga tumhe lecture cancel hone ki baat pata nahi hogi aur yehi aawogi so hum agaye yaha." navya filled the mind of nandini with all the necessary information whereas nandini's mind was finally diverted from her monster and uski banar ya monster sena.

"Oh..toh chalo na canteen chalte hain .Wo jaldi jaldi me mene thik se kuch nahi khaya."nandini suggested while navya nodded and both move towards canteen. 

After reaching canteen both took their order and were sitting and having their breakfast in silence when navya spoke out of curiosity.

"Nandini, hume nahi tumse kuch puchna tha ?"navya asked to nandini while nandini just nodded her to continue.

"Ye banar sena kon he.."navya asked with full curiosity as she was trying to ask this since nandini have mentioned about them in their conversation before infront of classroom.

"Wo banar sena nahi monster sena hai.."nandini said casually but navya was only confused as neither she knew any banar sena nor she had ever heard of monster sena. Seeing the confused face of navya realization struck her mind and nandini just bit her tounge as navya was unawre of name given by her to THE FAB5.

"Navya , wo monster aur uski sena kya tha unka naam.. ha THE FAB5.."as soon as nandini took their name navya spit the water she was going to drink and started coughing badly .Obviously the reaction was common as they were her worst nightmare and here the girl infront of her was casually giving them different names.

" Navya tum thik ho..Kya huwa."nandini started rubbing her back till her coughing was reduced and finally she was normal.

"Hum thik he nandini wo bas tume unka naam liya toh..."before navya could complete nandini cut her off.

"Don't worry navya wo kuch nahi kar payenge...Main hoon na .."nandini said all this but she herself was in tension as she just remembered of her challenge which did not go unnoticed by navya so to lighten the environment she finally become madhubala.

"Haww..nandini..tum bhi SRK ki fan ho hame toh pata hi nahi tha.How could you not tell me ?"navya exclaimed in a full dramatic tone and on other side nandini was just left gaping as here she was trying to calm her down but her this was accusing her.

"Haww..nandini tumne apni dost ko itni badhi baat nahi batayi..."said someone grabbing the attention of both of them and there they are.Talk of the devils and devils are there.Yes non other than FAB5 par oo tho tut gaye the na then how come all.

"Naam liya nahi ki aa gaye banar sena.." navya wishpered in nandini's ear while nandini could just gasp listening to navya as before sometime she was the one who was scared and now when they are their with all their glory then she is giving them names.

"Agar aap dono ka hogaya ho toh hum nandini ji ko unka pehela challenge dene aaye hai..."said cabir while taking the sit beside nandini and alia between cabir and nandini and dhruv between navya and cabir. So sitting arrangements is like..navya nandini alia cabir dhruv.

"Uss se pehle mujhe kuch kehna hain.."nandini said while grabbing fab3's attention towards her as well as navya as she was not sure what nandini was going to say.

"Plzz continue..Par ye challenge na karne ka ...sorry..bla..bla..if you want to say then plz donot give trouble to your mouth as we won't accept it as anyhow you have to do the challenge." said  alia while adjusting her handbag in the table,you know na Alia the diva.

"Tch ..Tch mujhe nahi pata tha ki tum log apne apko itna importance dete ho.But anyway I was just saying that you have only half an hour to give challenge because after that my lectures get started and nandini murthy never compromises with her study so HURRY UP." nandini stated everything as a matter of fact and FAB3 as well as navya were left gaping at her as nandini just now gave time limit to the FAB5 while the challenge was for her and she should complete it fast which is quiet unexpected you know.

Alya was the first one to come out of the shock and she slightly hit dhruv and cabir in their arms because of which they all came out of the trance.

"OK, by the way miss murthy sayad aap bhul rahi hain ki challenge hum denge aur wo aap hogi jo jaldi use khatam karenge taki aap kahi par vi ja sake.So abhi apke first challenge ke liye hum log ko bahar jana padeka toh follow me." saying this alya moved out of the canteen followed by others while navni also just followed FAB3 without any question as they don't want their punishment like challenge to get more difficult.

Fab3 went and sit in their jeep while facing towards navni who came following them while all other students had their eyes fix on them as first time someone dared to challenge FAB5.

"Okay guys telll fast what is the challenge so that I would complete it fast and I won't miss my classes as well." said nandini being queit impatient just because she do not want to miss her classes.You know na a devoted learner.

"Nandini, tumhe sher ke muhy mein haat dalne mein kyun dalna hai.Sabar rakho na."whispered navya in nandini's ear but whom she was saying.Nandini just rolled her eyes towards navya and looked towards FAB3 waiting impatiently for them to say something.

"Ok impatient soul..Your first challenge is PUNISS. " said alya while all who listened to her could just give confused look but before nandini could ask what that means cabir himself asked it.

"Alya , what was that ?Tumne toh kuch aur kahata pahle aur aba change kardiya that's not fair."cabir said while turning other side as if telling that he was angry as she changed the punishment without telling him.

"Cabir hogaya tera..alya yes what do you mean?"said dhruv while sounding quite matured one among three as cabir is behaving like a baby and alya is saying something but that language is understood by known.

"Cabir..mein manik nahi hun jo chahe wo kare mene jo pehle bola abhi bhi wahi bola..."alya said but as soon as those words came out of her mouth she realized she should not have said all that as cabir and dhruv's expression changed and cabir's eyes were teary so before anyone could say anything cabir just excused himself and went away from there while dhruv and alya could just stare at each other with unknown emotions in each other's eyes.

"Guys agar tum logo ka ek dusre ko ghurne ka time khatam hogaya ho to kya mujhe pata chal sakta he ye PUNISS kisko karna hai."asked nandini while making dhrulya look at her.

"Nandini ye PUNISS ka matlab tumhe pata he?"asked navya out of curiosity while nandini simply noded her head.

"Navya,PUNISS short form he Punch or Kiss ka PUNCH Ka PUN and KISS ka ISS is equal to PUNISS."nandini explained to n know it's meaning to navya while navya nodded her head in understanding.

"So as you all now know about it's meaning, Nandini you have to kiss the first person who enter the college and punch the second person but you can't say the truth to them why you did so?"alya said casually asif it's not a big deal but nandini was surely scared .

"What?" nandini shouted instantly making most of them flinch at their place .After composing themselves alya had a wicked grin plastered in her face as she somewhat knew what nandini might have thought. Her grin was widened when nandini proved her thinking right.

"College gates are already closed that means no students would be allowed to enter at the first place and if someone enter then they would be either teachers or other members of high post.And if noone came then I have to keep on waiting and I would miss my classes.Thats not possible .Sorry, but I cannot do this." nandini said all this in a go while navya held her shoulders to calm her down .

"Isn't it funny?Here nandini was the one taking stand for navya but navya is giving nandini courage.It's ok nandini if you don't want to do it. We understand but after you quit navya will have to bear everyday punishment till she is in college and you both have be our spot."dhruv said this all with a slight smirk making navya scared but nandini determined as she has to do this for navya her best friend.

"Oh hello..topi wala who told you I am going to quit .Ok I will do it."said nandini while looking at dhruv .Since he always used to wear a cap and she didn't knew his name she calledhim topi wala while navya chuckled but alya and dhruv frowned.

"What the hell nandini? His name is dhruv and mind your tounge."alya warned nandini while nandini shrugged it casually as she was busy praying with aiyapaa maybe to save her by sending someone junior or of her age so that she don't have to face punishment, be embarresed as well as miss her classes.As if aiyapaa listened to her the college gate were opened and a black mercedes came in from there.

Now as per the challenge nandini has to kiss the first person who comes out of the car maybe the driver. All were waiting for someone to come out as they have never seen this car here before but when the person came out all were shocked.

Obviously all were shocked as the person was non other than THE MANIK MALHOTRA. He was talking to someone from the mirror and he had no idea about what was going on as he was in his own world.

Next side navya asked nandini to back off because kissing monster was to invite death but nandini was determined so she started taking slow steps towards him and stood exactly behind manik but manik was fully engrossed in his talk to know about her presence.

After what seems like ages manik turned around and as soon as he turned around nandini acted as if she is going to fall but when he is there why to fear. Manik caught her in middle before she land the ground and they were lost in each others eyes which were full of different unknown emotions but their short eye lock was  disturbed by opening sound of door lock.

 After the trance was broken manik pulled nandini upwards ,his hands still in her waist. Nandini took it as an opportunity and gave slight peck in his cheek while manik became a statue as well as his hold on her loosened. She slowly got out of his grip and was going to go from there but ..

"Manik..." someone called from backside and manik trance was broken so he turned around to see the person .

"What happened why are you standing like statue?" as soon as the person asked the question manik remembered what happened few minutes ago and what came next was ..

"Ms.Murthy..Come back ..right now.."manik shouted in so much anger that everyone present there were afraid so expect four people alya, navya, dhruv and nandini all other left from there.

Nandini having no option so turned around and as soon as she turned around she saw someone because of which her face started getting tougher as if she is controlling her anger but when the person passed a smile nandini could not see anything else except that person.

Her hands formed into a fist and when she reached near manik everyone thought it will be her last day seeing the face of manik but what nandini did made all numb at their places.

Nandini went pass manik and directly went and punched the guy who broke manik's trance so hard that he winched in pain.

 When he touched the corner of his lips blood was coming out but nandini took out handkerchief from her bag and give it too him which he took without saying anything while nandini just left from their without saying a single word.

Manik who had overcome his shock and was going to hold nandini to confront her was stopped by the same guy whom nandini had punched. Nandini just ran from their while navya who saw tears in nandini's eyes ran after her to know why she did so.

 While dhruv and alya also left maybe because manik was there as FAB5 is over.
