"Hi nandini..it's me cabir..You know I liked your guts...And Can I tell a secret? " cabir said to nandini as it today it was his turn to give challenge to nandini...Nandini just shrugged it as why will her enemy share his secret with her anyway..

Cabir called her a little near and asked to bend her ear...And he spoke those words which left her shocked ..

"You know I think I am falling for navya..." cabir wishpered in nandini's ear and she was left gaping at him..She didn't know how to react...

Cabir came back in his own position...He had smirk plastered on his face...Seeing nandini standing like a statue navya slightly nudged her bring her out of her trance...Nandini looked at navya for sometime and turned to look at cabir..As soon as she noticed cabir with evil smirk she understood his prank...But she was also no less...She thought to play along..

"But her marriage is already fixed cabir.." nandini said with a innocent face while cabir's face fell...It was nandini's time to suppress her smile seeing cabir's face...

Navya was standing there confused..She was not able to predict about what where banar(monkey) and her nandu talking about..So she spoke..

"Nandu..whose marriage.." navya asked to nandini in a whisper so that only she could hear..But how can our cabir baba not interfere..

"What are you two talking about? Are you two thinking of quitting? " cabir asked while nandini gave a tight smile and spoke..

"Sorry to burst your bubble..But I am going to win this challenge..." nandini said with full confidence...navya too nodded in support of nandini..

"It's not good to have over confidence chota packet..." cabir was trying to make nandini angry but nandini has a lot of patience by the way...

"Cabirr...Haven't you heard chota packet bada dhamaka..." nandini winked at cabir and cabir was speechless...this may be the first time that cabir didn't have any comeback..so he decided to change the topic...

"So..your next challenge will be given by dhruv today...it's not easy to get challenge by cabir you know...better luck next time..." saying so cabir went from their not before winking at nandini and giving a flying kiss to navya...

Navya was left staring at the disappearing figure of cabir while nandini smile thinking something..

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

"Dhruv...I think manik scolded mukti again...I saw her crying...But before I could go and talk to her she left...I want to talk to manik but again I can't...why we broke up?..We had promised our star that we will always be together...we will never let FAB5 to break then why all this? Was our friendship so weak? I want to believe but also I don't know why but I am not being able to believe that manik did all those things that we arenot together?" alya finally broke down  ...dhruv instantly took her in a hug but was it all easy for him...

Manik was his buddy...he knows him in and out...they don't need words to convey their feelings to each other..then how did he believed that manik can do anything like that with them...But again all the proof was against manik...also manik himself accepted his deeds then.

"Dhruv ..are you there?" nandini knocked at the door of music room ...dhruv made alya sit in a chair and made himself presentable...After that he went and opened the door...Alya just turned around making them face her back as she was not able to control her tears...Dhruv asked nandini to come inside..

"So nandini..what brought you here? " dhruv asked maintaining his FAB5 aura..

"Actually..cabir told that you will give me my task today so..." nandini continued but she stopped seeing alya...Not by seeing alya but due to small sounds and she was sure that alya was crying..

"Alya ,are you crying?" nandini asked while moving towards alya but dhruv stopped her in middle only..

"No she is not..And I will give your challenge tomorrow...so you may leave.." dhruv said not wanting to lose her calm but nandini interfered..

"Dhruv..just listen..I am a girl and I will understand her perspective..pls let me talk to her once.." nandini tried once again but dhruv glared at her and asked her to leave..Finally nandini lost her patience..

"First that monster and now you..what is the problem with you guys...Because of him mukti was crying and now alya..." but before nandini could complete alya spoke...

"Mukti was crying...why ...what did manik say...where is she now..Dhruv we have to find her.." alya was freaking out at once...dhruv was instantly beside her..

"Alya..alya calm down...she is our lady bheem..and manik will never do anything to harm her..his life depends on her..you know that then..." dhruv said while hugging her to his dear life and alya broke down again...

Nandini brought water from near by table and  gave to dhruv..he had made alya sit in the chair but she was still sobbing..so after making her drink water ..nandini took her in a bone crushing hug...it made alya calm..maybe because nandini has already gone  through the same turmoil and she knows what one needs at the moment..

"Alya..don't let others words overpower your feeling...let your heart decide...if it is the case for you own peoples..you must always listen to your heart...Mind will always ruin things.." saying so nandini broke the hug and instantly left from there...maybe she was hiding her tears...alya and dhruv were just sitting there trying to figure out what just nandini said...

Nandini instantly went into the washroom and cried...She washed her face...Meanwhile her phone rang...Seeing the caller id a smile crept on her face..

"Finally you remembered me...when are you coming here?" nandini asked being all excited...

"I am coming soon...And there is good as well as bad news.." the person over the phone spoke..

"What's her name? " nandini asked as if knowing what was it..

"Not full name but just surname...It's some miss vardhan.." the person said while nandini repeated it..

"Okay I will try getting clue about who is she? She is my only hope.."nandini said and her eyes teared up but maintaining herself she spoke..

"Pls come fast he is also here..I can't face him..not now atleast.." nandini said while the person over the phone assured her that nothing will go wrong and cut the call...

Nandini's mood was slightly changed for now...she moved towards the canteen in search of navya...She was hungry and thank god it was the lunch break..There was still time for it to get over ..Maybe she would not have got to have her lunch.....but since dhruv said that she will get her challenge tomorrow only she can sit in peace and have the lunch...

Nandini noticed navya sitting in a corner while talking to someone..Navya saw nandini and waved at her asking her to come and sit beside her..

"Nandini...where were you? I searched you all over..but I didn't find you so came here..And see I made a new friend...she is an old student...Oh sorry ..why are you standing ..sit na.." navya finally stopped and nandini sat beside navya...

"So nandini..she is jeff and jeff this is nandini.." navya introduced them while they shaked their hands and passed a genuine smile..

"Nandini..you are great...whole college was talking about you...I was out of town so just today I came to college and all are talking about you..." jeff said all excited and nandini just chuckled..

"Let me guess...some might be supporting  me as I dared to stand against FAB5...they might be praising me..while others might be giving me sympathy because according to them standing against FAB5 means inviting your end...." jeff and navya just giggled on how nandini said all those things with such a cute expression...

"So you guessed it correct...Err..jeff it's your last year..if I am correct?" nandini asked quite hesitatingly...

"Yes nandini..what happened? " jeff asked sensing that nandini wanted to ask something..

"Er...it's just that I wanted to know about someone.." nandini said quiet unsured about how jeff and navya would react...but for now only jeff could help her so...

"Okay...tell me whom you want to know about?" jeff asked calmly..

"Miss vardh..." before nandini could complete see saw FAB5 asking everyone to go out from the canteen...

Seeing nandini looking at something particular navya and jeff also turned and saw their nightmares...Jeff was not so affected but navya and nandini were quiet sure that they were here for them...

"Jeff..out.." manik shouted but jeff stood unaffected there...Nandini noticed that manik was marching towards jeff angrily so she came forward and pulled jeff...

"Jeff..it's  miss vardhan..can you pls get me all the info about her? I know there may be many miss vardhan's but pls ..it's really important...she is in final year as per my information.." jeff understood that nandini was trying to send her away...but how nandini asked her for info she could guess that it was really important for her..so she decided to leave as she knew nandini can easily handle FAB5..

 "Jeff...I said go..." manik again shouted while nandini also gestured her to go..

"Fine...I am going.." jeff said to manik and again turned to nandini...

"don't worry..I'll get all the detalis..bye ..take care..." jeff hugged nandini and went from their while nandini was taken aback by sudden hug but composed herself and asked her to take a leave..Jeff went from there..

Now only FAB5 and navni were left...

"So miss murthy...we are here for your 2nd challenge..." manik said while rubbing his hands...Without paying much heed to him..nandini went to her table...took her bag and searched something...All were confused on what she was doing..After seeing something in mobile nandini spoke..

"OKAYY..start fast..I don't have much time to waste in it..." nandini said with full attitude while manik smirked...

"Oh...miss shorty has mouth also..." manik mocked her but nandini...she was just so calm...Nandini didn't replied anything...it was just angering manik more...she was testing his patience...dhruv knew it won't be good if manik gets more angry so he interfered..

"So nandini...I said that I will give you challenge..but there is some change in plan...for today cabir will give it as canteen is the only place where you will find cabir dhawan...you know he is greatly related with food..." dhruv chuckled at his own joke followed by navya...Manik gave him are you serious kinda look..

"Same pinch cabir..I also kinda same type of relation with food..." nandini said to cabir while all were shocked as she was the first one who liked this habit...not only like but she was like him...oh god...

"So nandini...since you are a foodie like me...your task is to complete this whole cake..." cabir said showing a choclate layered cake in the table...Nandini nodded as it was easy for a foodie like her but it's FAB5's challenge yaar...there must be twist ma...

"But but...first you will drink this two glass chilly water then the cake ..woops...sorry chilly cake..." saying so cabir added just little chilly powder in two different glasses of water and more than half of the chilly powder was poured into the chocolate cake like a batter....nandini and navya gulped hard...

Seeing their scared faces all had evil smile on their faces...But FAB5 are not so bad also so...slight help is also there...

"You know na we are not so bad...so navya can help you in it..but only with the water glasses...but cake you have to finish yourself.." alya completed all the saying..

Mukti was all time standing silent..Nandini noticed it...when she looked at mukti, mukti just adverted her gaze..nandini realized that it maybe because manik was there so she was quiet...

"Nandini...don't worry...I will drink the water..you have the cake..." navya said trying to sound brave but she was not sure as she was not habituated to have anything spicy...Nandini wanted to deny but again thinking that navya was trying to be brave and it's better to encourage her she accepted...

"Ok but you will drink one glass and I will drink one and no ifs and but,," nandini declared while navya agreed reluctantly cause she wanted to drink both the glasses as it will make nandini easy to finish the cake...

"Ready girls.." asked asked while they nodded and picked one one glass of water..

"it's nice to see you taking step..I am impressed.." manik genuinely praised navya while navya was shocked..she could not believe her ears...

"Hey matarani...iss 5 foot 9 inch just praised me...pls keep your blessings with me only..." navya spoke to her matarani which was heard by nandini only so she chuckled at that while others frowned...From this nandini was sure that FAB5 arenot what they show...they are good at heart but just show others as monsters and this challenge was just a mask..

"Girls...the more you keep waiting the more spicy it will get..." dhruv said making navya and nandini conscious..

Both navya and nandini drank the water...nandini drank it in one go and started to cough..but navya couldnot drink more than half...it was really very spicy...navya was coughing continuously while others were smirking...Nandini noticed everyone's expression..

She controlled herself as she was used to that much spice...she rubbed navya's back and gave her plain water to drink...navya was little better...navya was going to take the glass but nandini took it before only and drank the remaining water...

Nandini wasnot much affected by the water as it was not much spicy for her as she loved spice..But she was somewhat sure that she won't be able to finish the cake..Not after what cabir showed..

"And ya...I forgot to say that..in this cake there is chilly powder instead of sugar..." cabir cut the cake in slices and the middle part was also red denoting about chilly powder...Nandini gulped her saliva but she had to do it...

If she was going to lose then also she will try till she can...For her who give up without trying is coward but who tries and fails maybe a failure for others but winner for their own self..So she was also going to face it till she can...

Nandini went forward and grabbed a cake piece...Though the cake was full of chilly powder their was chocolate layer for quiet easiness...She thanked aaiappa for atleast this much..it was also great help...

Nandini took a bite and it was spicy..her tongue started burning with just a slice...she wanted to throw up but anyhow she eat it...she with great difficulty finished that slice...now 4 ore slice were left...Her eyes were already red...her tongue was burning..The burning sensation was quite different...she ignored it and took another slice...tears started to flow through her eyes...she wanted to scream but not a word came out  ....

She looked at everyone...though they have smile in their faces..their eyes were depicting something else...

She started coughing at once...Her hands started itching...Her body was all hot..Her vision blurred...She was continuously rubbing her hands...It was all red...All were confused on what was happening to her ...This type of reaction with chilly was not expected by them..

Manik remembered something and was immediately by her side...he took her in a hug...

"Do you have allergy with anything?" manik asked to nandini who was having difficulty in breathing..

"Pine...Pineapple..." nandini said while trying to catch her breath...

"But this is chocolate cake na.." cabir asked unsure ...while the waiter replied that it is crushed pineapple cake..only the upper layer has chocolate...

Navya gave her water to drink..but manik just threw it...navya shouted..

"After doing this much also you don't have any humanity..." manik passed her a deadly glare..His eyes were blood shot red...

"Guys...pineapple reaction..." manik said and all were by his side...He carried nandini in his arms...mukti was patting her head to keep her calm...Alya went away in search of something...Dhruv called the doctor..Cabir searched in nandini's bag for something but he didn't found it..Navya was shocked at what just happened..

Cabir pulled her with him..Soon they were outside the medical room...Manik had hugged her to his dear life as if she will diappear...Mukti was rubbing her arms to calm her down...No one tried to give her water...

Alya came with a bag in her hand...She passed it to mukti...mukti took out some clothehs from it...Alya went beside manik...Alya sat inplace of manik...Manik and cabir left the room...After sometime alya called them inside...she was still burning...Girls have changed her clothes to some loose clothes..

Dhruv came with doctor and manik spoke..

"She had allergy with pineapple but she mistakely took it...we searched for any sort of injection in her bag but it was not their...we tried our best to keep her calm..and changed her clothes to loose ones..." manik spoke in one go while doctor nodded...He gave nandini an injection..Mukti and navya were by her side..Due to effect of medicine and triedness..she fell asleep...

"She  had water or anything after the reaction..." doctor asked for which mukti replied..

"No since she was having difficulty in breathing...we just avoided it.." mukti replied like a pro while doctor gave them a smile..

"Seems like you guys have full knowledge about it...Looks like she is very close to you.." doctor said while looking at all of them...navya was shocked at this...

"Obviously doctor...after all it's about our st....." cabir spoke in the moment of heat but was stopped by mukti...

"Cabirrr...doctor is talking about nandini.." mukti glared at cabir making him shut...mukti was really very angry...no one had seen mukti like this....FAB4 just looked down at this...No one not even manik dared to speak...

"Neonika ma'am has called FAB5 in office.." peon came and gave them noticed...mukti without sparing glance at anyone left from their..

"Navya...you be here we will just come.." alya said quiet politely..Navya just nodded...she was shocked would be an understatement seeing this side of FAB5..

"Guys...let's go...whatever is the relation between us...mukti needs us pls..." alya said to all of them and others nodded...they also left from their to neo's office...
