"May I come in?" mukti asked while knocking in the door..Neonika was shocked would be an understatement..Mukti the great who barges in everywhere without notice was knocking in the door that also of her own neonika ma...Something is fishy thought neonika...

But as soon as her eyes landed on her..she knew that mukti was controlling herself from crying..Neonika  nodded and mukti came and sat in nearby couch kept in a corner ...She didn't speak anything neither did neonika cause neo was well familiar with mukti's this behavior ...if she speaks then mukti will breakdown and only FAB4 can console her so she just waited for them...

FAB4 entered the room and saw mukti in couch sitting with her head covered in her palms..Neonika asked to manik about what had happened through eyes while manik just avoided looking at her...That's when neonika saw their state...everyone's eyes were red and tears were already their...All were controlling themselves...

Neonika thought that they all again fought for something...As soon as she had got the news of FAB5 being over she had scolded them all...She was broken herself seeing her all time together children not even talking to each other...Talking was far..they were not even glancing at each other...All were avoiding each other as if other does not even exist...But having enough she made them swear on their star that they will never let anyone know that they are not together...She was happy at least that they were together like before though it was only in college or rather say only infront of others...other than that all had become like an stranger..Neonika asked them about what had happened that their friendship came at such a stage but none answered..All were just in their own memory lane..grieving over some or the other thing..

"Mom...why have you called us here?" dhruv asked finally controlling himself..all just nodded while all were trying to avoid her..

"Did you guys again fought? " neonika asked out of nowhere...All looked towards her except for mukti...she was lost somewhere..she didn't even reacted a little..

"No mom...why you thought so?" cabir was the one to answer...manik and alya looked at mukti for some sort of reaction but she was just sited with no reaction..

"Don't.you .dare.to.lie...alya, you tell me what happened? " neonika asked alya while alya and manik were having some eye talk so both didn't hear what neonika asked..

"Alya..I asked you something?" neonika finally shouted making alya and manik startled...alya looked at neonika and hmmed..

"What happened ?" neonika went near alya and kept a hand in her shoulder...a motherly warmth was something she needed and she broke down..

"Mom...mukti..." alya spoke in between her cries..neonika didn't understood anything..so she looked at manik for explanation but she saw manik staring at something or someone in particular...It was mukti..

A tear slipped from manik eyes which didn't go unnoticed by neonika...she signaled dhruv and cabir...dhruv came and took alya in a hug while cabir went and sat beside mukti..

Manik when saw cabir sitting beside mukti he also went and sat beside her...now mukti was siting in between manbir..Cabir finally gathering some courage kept a hand in mukti shoulder...

"I am sorry mukti..." cabir said while tears started to come from his eyes... Mukti withdraw his hand from her shoulder and shouted..

 "What are you sorry for cabir? No cabir... you should not be sorry...I am the one who should be sorry..I am the one who shouted at you...I am the one who was caring about nandini like I used to do to our star..I was the one to think that she was our star ...I was the one who thought that our star could be back to me...she will be their ...But why are you sorry cabir..you just made me realize that she isnot our star...she is someone who just has allergy with pineapple like my only family ...our star ..my sister NITI VARDHAN had.." saying so mukti fall down in the ground but manik was quick enough to take her in a hug...

"Ssh...our star is with us mukti..you had promised your little sissy that you will always smile remembering her then why are you crying..ssh..I am here..then..our  star will always shine for us...her this monster manik had promised her that he will not let her lady bheem to cry while remembering her...she will be upset with me ...I know you don't want that then  why are you crying..ssh..pls chup hoja.." manik spoke sweet nothings in mukti's ears...mukti was quite calm but tears were still flowing through her eyes...manik made her sit in the couch..Neonika came and hugged her..

"Mukti baccha...niti used to say that mukti is so stupid..she cries in every small things...but see me...I am just perfect...I am always calm..I am first in everything...she is first in only one thing and that is crying and hitting  boys..And here you are proving her right.." neonika said while others chuckled when mukti nodded her head in no while rubbing her eyes..

"Haww..how can she say so...my mukti is so brave...she never cries...niti lied to you mom..." alya came and took mukti in a side hug...

"She never lies...as she said she is first in everything..she went to mom and dad faster than me.." mukti said remembering the happiest as well as the worst day of her life...

Manik took everyone in a group hug..Neonika stepped aside to see her children...it was after a long time they were together..In a hug...where every shattered pieces come together to be one master piece..but one thing was missing in between them and it  was their old unbreakable friendship.She had called everyone here for same thing..she know that after what she will say they will again be broken but she had to do this to see her niti's FAB5 BACK..

"Mom...why had you called us.." manik interrupted everyone from thinking the day when his soul was taken away from him by that so called god,,He broke the hug.....Neonika understood manik's intension so spoke...

"The locket which you guys had ordered is ready...I have brought them...But there is slight alteration..But you guys will love it..." neonika said while everyone's eyes twinkled...that was something which will always make them remember their star..

"Really mom...where is it? I am dying to see it?" cabir being the over excited one spoke..but their happiness was not long lasted...neonika spoke something which left them shattered all over again..

"The locket represents my niti..your star..and her FAB5 but you guys arenot FAB5..you are manik malhotra...mukti malhotra...alya saxena, dhruv vedant and cabir dhawan...Am I right?" neonika asked with a voice full of emotions...anger and hurt was most of it...But before they could speak anything..neonika again spoke..

"So I will give you guys that locket only after I will feel that my star's promise is kept forever...Humesha..." neonika said remebering how her this children's had promised their star that FAB5 will always be together forever ..humesha..

"And I don't want to listen anything..you all may leave..." neonika reminded them ...She went and sat in her chair..They were going to go out but stopped by listening to their mother's voice..

"FAB5 did pranks but only after making sure that no one suffers ever..they used to take out one's all details before they do any prank on anyone but this time...just leave it..so I had taken out all her details.

Nandini murthy....An orphan...Her grandmother died recently who was her only family..She has decided to live her life to fulfill her father's dream..

Navya's background is not so different...she has only mother back in patna...she has also got scholarship...from a poor background...less confidence unlike nandini who is ready to face every situation.." neonika said while FAB5 were guilty for what they did to the poor souls..  

"My children are always ready to make up for their mistakes if I am not wrong..." neonika said and left saying she has to go for some meetings...

Fab5 also made their way towards medical room to see if nandini is fine or not..

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

After Fab5 left navya was thinking about what just happened...she now understood nandini's words...nandini had said to her that FAB5 isnot so bad like they show...

All the students also respect FAB5 not because they are scared but they will never do anything that harms anyone's life be it either mentally or physically...All the students on whom they had done their pranks are now well confident...Fab5 are the ones who are ever ready to help others if anyone comes to them asking for help...

Navya was sitting beside nandini when a nurse came...She was the one who was appointed by the administration to look after someone who is sick...she asked navya to go for her lectures...she is their to look after nandini...navya was quiet hesitant to leave nandini but the nurse assured her so navya left...

Nurse was by nandini's side when she noticed nandini was frowning and sweat beads were forming in her head...Nurse tried to wake up nandini but nandini was just shaking her head and calling bhai..bhai.....Nandini woke up with a jerk... Nurse gave her water to drink..

Nandini drank the water..she was trying to register where she was...After processing she realized that she was going to faint and was having problem in breathing when manik had hugged her ...Yes she had had pineapple cake..she looked at herself and realized her clothes were changed to some loose ones..

She tried getting up but she stumbled..Nurse tried to make her stand still...when the nurse touched nandini she realized that nandini was burning hot...Her whole body was hot..She was unsure as why was she still hot as doctor had already given her injection of allergy then also...

Nandini again tried to get up...but nurse wasnot letting her...

"Who changed my clothes and who brought me here..." nandini managed to say that much...

"Your friend navya was here...I had just came..maybe she was the one to change your clothes..." nurse said while nandini asked for her clothes...Nurse brought her clothes from the nearby table..Nandini requested to change...nurse helped her in changing..

"Ok I am fine now..I will leave.." nandini tried to get up..she anyhow managed to stand ...

"You are still not fine..let the fever decrease then you can go..." nurse tried making nandini listen but nandini started to walk..she was stumbling due to weakness..Nurse tried to stop her but nandini didn't listen and went out from the room assuring that she will go to her room only ..she lives nearby so she will rest after going home..

Nurse wasnot sure if nandini will manage to go or not so she went to call navya...or any other student who could take navya home..

***********

Fab5 were coming towards the medical room ..Nurse who was in hurry didn't notice FAB5 and crashed with alya..

"What the hell? Why the hell are you here?" alya shouted manking the nurse look at her scared..

"Sorry alya..I was just going to call navya...err..that patient..what was her name.." nurse tried remembering her name..

"Nandini...what about her?" cabir was the one to ask that..

"She is having high fever...but she went away...I tried stopping her but she didn't listen.." nurse told everything that happened...

"Damn this girl..." manik said and all of them made their way towards the entrance..

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

Though she was weak nandini any how managed to come out..She was getting down the stairs to go to main gate ...She had just completed getting down and had just taken few steps when she was pulled back with such a force that she crashed into something hard...She slowly looked upwards and her meet with those red eyes...

"Where the hell do you think are you going?" manik shouted at her while making her stand still...mukti and alya held her from two side to give her support...they realised that she was very hot...They couldnot depicher why was she still having so high fever though she was already given injection..

"Heaven...wanna go.." nandini snapped at manik...She was not feeling well and here he was shouting ...she also got angry..

"Wow...and I think auto driver will drop you there..right " manik too gave a sarcastic reply..

"Of course...so I am leaving bye..." nandini freed herself and turned around to go but dhruv and cabir came infront of her blocking her way....

"But nandini...heaven mein toh  auto allowed nahi hein na..." cabir stated as a matter of fact...

"Accha...I never knew that...thank u for the information cabir...But in my heaven...auto's are allowed so LEAVE.MY.WAY.." nandini warned cabir...here she was not being able to stand also and they are irritating her..

"Nandini...Why are you getting angry? I was just saying that in heaven..." cabir was once again going to give some matter of fact but stopped listening to nandini's words..

"One word..and you are going to regret cabir.." nandini spoke each word at a time while cabir gulped looking at her face ...Cabir kept finger in her lips like a obedient child...

"Wow Cabir...I saw your friendship...I shout at you ..glare at you but you never stop ..and here one warning and you became Bheegi Billi ...I am hurt..." manik teased cabir..obviously who will leave such a chance...It's rare to see cabir like this...so manik also took the opportunity..

"Yes manik..he always teases me...nandini you teach me how you did this..I will also try it..It will be so much fun to see cabir all quiet.." over excited alya chipped ..while cabir glared at her but others chuckled...nandini was getting more irritated...

"Really...I am glad to teach you.." nandini mocked at alya but alya just took it in a wrong way..

"Ok then from when should we start.." alya said while nandini wanted to bang her head not because of fever but because of alya..

"Alya....that was sarcastic reply..." dhruv told to alya as he was near her..

"How mean nandini..here I was so thankful of you and you are ...I am hurt..." alya said with fake hurt..but now it was nandini's turn to be serious...she would never want to hurt her...

"I am sorry alya..I didn't mean to hurt you...I promise I will never say like that..." tears were forming in her eyes while seeing alya's face...alya immediately regretted saying so..

"I was just kidding nandini...Don't be sad.." alya said while side hugging nandini...nandini looked at her if she was lying but alya nodded her head confirming that she was just joking...

"Toh..what you thought I was going t cry...haww...how can you think so alya..tch..tch..." nandini replied with a wink while alya stomped her foot but laughed at end...Others also laughed with her...

Taking the opportunity nandini quietly moved out from there to go...But when manik is there why to fear...Nandini was thanking her aaiappa for distracting FAB5 and ..

"Ouch...wait a minute..how come there a wall in front of gate?" nandini muttered to herself and looked up to see those two pairs of eyes glaring at her... 

"Monster manik...what is your problem? Why are you standing infront? Don't you have any work?" nandini finally lost her calm...

"Here I am not feeling well..but no...you guys are hell bent on irritating me...what is the main problem? Pls I want to go home...so can you guys pls give me way...I have no energy to argue..pls.." nandini finally gave up infront of them....they were already guilty and it just added to it ....

"Nandini...we are here to take you home only but not your...You are not going home. You are coming with us to our mansion...And it's not an invitation that you decline but compulsion...if you want or not you are going with us..." manik declared while nandini was shocked...

Was she being kidnapped?? nandini thought to herself ...Then spoke..

"Haw..how can you guys kidnap me?" nandini asked with a cute expression..

"Where did kidnapping came from?" mukti was the one to ask this..

"Aree...if you take someone somewhere unknown to them without their permission...then that is kidnapping na..." nandini made them clear like teaching a five year old ...

"Really? And we thought we were in last year of college..." manik mocked at her...while she just bit her tongue realizing what she just did....she was teaching her seniors meaning of kidnapping..Keep going nandini..she whispered to herself..(note the sarcasm..)

"Err..I..didn't..I..wo.." nandini had nothing to say...she was embarrassed ...

"Cut the crap guys...nandini I am coming straight to the point...We didn't know that was pineapple cake and you were allergic to it...your are still sick and till you recover fully you will stay with us...ya that's all..."mukti finally said everything being irritated of unwanted talks going on..

"It's ok..I will manage..I know you guys didn't do it intentionally..You all are forgiven.." nandini said making them frown..but FAB5 also has reputation yaar...

"Oh hello..when did we ask for forgiveness that you are forgiving us..." Manik was the one to say that..nandini just looked at him as if she saw an alien..before she could reply dhruv spoke...

"And also FAB5 never say sorry to anyone...Nor ask for forgiveness" dhruv said as if it was matter of proud..

"Yes...we get it without even asking.." not so good at jokes cabir spoke while others gave him ARE-you-serious-look?

"I was just trying to lighten the atmosphere.." cabir gave a helpless look...obviously he was made for this not so serious things only na..

"We know we made mistake..but we will make it up to you in our way...not by asking sorry or something..." alya also said the same thing but in a little sensible way...

"We get what we want by hook or by crook..and for now we want to make ourselves happy by making up to you but in our way ....And you have to cooperate anyhow.." mukti said with a tight smile while crossing her hands infront of her chest...

"And also we are doing it in our way cause you know FAB5 is hatke unlike others and also we don't believe that a sorry word means anything ..so you are coming with us..and that's final.." saying so manik finally completed and nandini completed a round..

Aree..she was standing in middle and FAB5 were surrounding her...whenever one talks she has to turn around...In the start she was facing manik then dhruv...cabir...alya...mukti and again manik...Hogaya na ek chaakkar...not that wala chakkar but round you know...

"So chalo.." saying so without giving nandini any chance to speak alya and mukti catched her from two sides and took her to the car...They made her enter inside inspite of her protest because manik glared at her and she had to ...after all monster is monster...dar toh lagega na..

"One last thing...mujhe na jeff se milna hai ..one last time pls.." nandini said with a cute pout..all were aww at her but FAB5 hein thodi na sab ke wishes pure karte phirenge...

"Kyun...what work do you have? Tell us we will tell her?" alya said while getting inside the car..

"I can't tell that..pls last time...it's really important..." nandini one again tried but alas...

"No...whatever it is..you can do it latter...for now health is more important..so chup chap betho..." alya told her and all settled themselves...manik in driving seat...dhruv beside him..Girls at back...Nandini noticed that cabir wasnot there so spoke..

"See..cabir didn't get place...I will get down..cabir will go with you guys..what say..." saying so nandini tried..keyword tried but how could she when she was in between alya and mukti..

"Nandini...I am warning you last time...be quiet and sit...Aur cabir bike mein aayega...we don't have lectures today so we are taking you otherwise you will not have been allowed to move out of medical room also...." mukti gave her warning as well as information...

"Aiyoo aaiappa...lectures...how can I forget that? Mujhe toh class mein hona chahiye tha..." nandini started to panic while others wanted to bang there head for now...

"Nandini...you have fever...pls don't transfer it to us...pls chup chap betho...I will tell jeff she will bring all notes for you at malhotra mansion and you can talk to her also...deal done..." dhruv told calmly while nandini nodded after seeing manik and mukti glaring at her...

Finally , manik started the car and they zoomed out..The ride was silent ..though nandini tried to speak others didn't gave her...she was tried also ...she just kept her head in mukti's shoulder and slept...

When they entered inside the gate of malhotra mansion...manik came out of the car followed by dhruv...alya called nandini to wake her up...all of them came out ...cabir also came by that time..

"So nandini..welcome to malhotra mansion..." alya said while looking infront..

All were standing infront of the door in a straight line while nandini took a step forward looking at the mansion...

FAB5 in a line with nandini just two steps ahead...FAB5 looking at nandini and nandini busy muttering something to herself...

"Welcome to Malhotra Mansion ..even better..Welcome to hell.."
