"Nandini, what happened...why are you crying?" navya who was following nandini after the challenge became worried after seeing nandini crying so hysterically inside an empty washroom..

"Navya, I want to be alone for some time plz..." navya as if understanding her state of mind left nandini alone and went from there saying she has to attend the lecture and nandini can take notes from her.

"No ..why ayapaa...why always me..I can not be here..I have to go home..." nandini started complaining to herself unknown to her surrounding...Nandini washed her face two three times and when she looked at her reflection in mirror she saw another reflection and she turn around abruptly..

"What are you doing here ?" nandini shouted making the person smirk...

"Is this your private washroom?" the person said while coming forward while nandini stood still as she didn't have any place to go backwards..

"No ..you may go ahead..I was going to leave only.." saying this nandini moved towards the door but before she could move out another person came infront of her blocking her way...

"Where do you think you are going?" the person asked in a little angry tone..

"Manik..after messing with us she would obviously be running away.." the first person who was behind nandini spoke..

"Did I ask you mukti?" manik glared at her while mukti just looked down though she felt bad she didn't say anything..Nandini was quite confused at why was manik scolding mukti as she had heard that FAB5 never stands against each other..they are all for one and one for all..But since she has met them she have never seen them all together having fun..there is something different between them ...The way manik snapped at mukti nandini felt bad for her..so instead of mukti she replied..

"So what..she replied on my behalf..do you have any problem..."nandini asked to manik while mukti's head snapped towards nandini as there her enemy was defending her..Manik was trying to calm his anger ...

"Who are you to mukti that she will answer on your behalf ?" manik asked while crossing his hands and leaning against the door..while mukti stood there not knowing where this conversation was leading to.

"Being no one to her also I am taking stand for her..but see here..what an irony that being her best friend also you are snapping back at her...wow.." nandini mocked manik which made manik to look at mukti while mukti instantly turned around as if to hide her tears..

"Who are you to comment on our friendship?" Manik was trying hard not to vent out all his anger towards her but what she said next made the floor beneath him to sweep away...

"I am also a friend so I know how it feels when your only friend speaks to you so rudely..It is the most worst feeling when your friends believe in someone else than you and break everything between them without giving a chance for them to clear their side of story" a tear drop fell from her eyes as well but she rubbed it instantly..that didn't go unnoticed by manik but after hearing her words only one thing was running in his mind...

"FAB5 is over..." "Manik pls listen to me once.." "Manik..pls .."" Manik.."

Mukti was trying hard not to cry but tears were flowing uncontrollably but she was trying hard to suppress it...but was failing miserably..Manik could not take it more so left from there without sparing any glance at mukti while shutting the door close with a bang causing nandini to come out of her thoughts...

Mukti could not control anymore and fell on the floor with a thud and started crying her heart out..Nandini remembered something so she went and put an hand in mukti's shoulder which startled mukti so she started rubbing her eyes furiously...but nandini hold her hands and pulled her in a forceful hug..

Mukti was wriggling in her hold but gave in and started crying her heart out as in this time she needed was an assurance that someone is there for her..fab5 was not only friend but family of mukti..most precisely manik..he was her everything after their star...she was missing her star very much as she was always there beside her but now she is feeling as if their is no any reason left for her to survive..as her only family is broken and their trust for each other is broken so badly that maybe it will never ever be mended...

Sometimes crying your heart out and venting your emotions out don't make you small but it gives you some peace only..sometimes one is in such a state that s/he just need someone beside them to hug her/him ..someone who can hold them tight as if assuring them that they are their to hide their vulnerable side from cruel world and protect them ...Mukti also just needed one shoulder to cry and nandini being enemy also forwarded it for her as if knowing what was mukti in need of..

Not only mukti but nandini was also crying her heart out because after seeing that person in the morning she tried very hard not to break down infront of everyone..but when she saw same sort of emotions in eyes of mukti after listening to manik's word she could understood the meaning of each and every tear of mukti..

Nandini when hugged mukti..Not only mukti but nandini herself got a solace from mukti when she hugged her back...It seemed as if their broken pieces fitted into each other perfectly making them complete..as if they can make it up for everything if they are together...Though words were not exchanged between them..the hug was enough for both of them to calm their inner turmoils...

After what seems like eternity their crying session come to end with the sound of bell...Since the lectures were going on, they were not seen by anyone in that condition..both of them drifted apart and rubbed their tears away...They both didn't dare to look at each others eyes...both of them washed their faces...while looking at their reflection in mirror ..their eyes were red...hairs were disheveled...after looking at each other once they both burst out laughing...this was after a long time both of them were laughing...Mostly mukti...she was looking like a small kid ...her eyes held that shine while she was laughing her heart out..

Nandini had already controlled her laughter but after looking at mukti don't know why but she felt content and her lips automatically broke into a genuine smile...Mukti sensing a strong gaze on her looked up to see nandini smiling at her..Mukti controlled herself and raised an eyebrow towards nandini asking what but nandini just nodded in no and adverted her gaze towards mirror..

Mukti also smiled seeing nandini nervous..and looked at herself in mirror...Nandini took out a comb from her bag and forwarded towards mukti but without looking at her for ones...Mukti was first startled but then took it and comb her hair and returned it back..till the time nandini applied kohl in her eyes to hide her red eyes..

Nandini after composing herself a little was going to move out..Mukti wanted to say something but could not...Nandini opened the door and move out..But gathering some courage mukti finally called her..

"Nandini.." mukti shouted and ran behind her..Nandini as if knew that mukti wanted to say something so she stopped as soon as mukti called her..

"Wo...wo.." mukti was stammering as she was not able to form any words...so nandini turned around raising an eyebrow asking what like mukti did before..

"Er...nandini..." mukti was hesitating but nandini thought to tease mukti...

"I know my name is nandini.. mukti, if you want to say sth say fast or I will go.." nandini said while mukti took a long breathe and finally said..

"Thank u nandini.." nandini was well known about for what mukti was saying thank u but she was enjoying the look in her face so spoke being innocent..

"It's okay mukti ..it was just a comb.." nandini was trying to suppress her laugh seeing the face of mukti ...but mukti was quick enough to see the smile of nandini ..

"Yaar nandini...I am taking that thank u with myself..bye.." mukti being annoyed turned around and left but a constant smile was their on her face ....

"Mukti..suno toh..gayi.." nandini also had same kind of genuine smile seeing mukti...she also left from their to search for navya as now she was in proper state of mind to attend the lectures..

Their this little conversation was listened by someone who was also happy seeing their smiling faces..and went from their after looking at the retreating figures..

~They were neither friends for life nor enemies wanting each others life..their journey had just begun so their relation was unknown let them be FRENIMIES till the real relation is known~
