Nandini then put extra food and seeing that...chachi asked frowning.

" Arey Nandu kabse itna khana khane lagi?"

"Ab kya batau chachi...bahut bhukh lagi hai...kuch khaya nahi maine." Nandini lied to her...chachi bobbed her head and filled more food in her plate making her smile.

Nandini turned to go when chachi said " usko jyada khilana na..samjhi?"

"Kisko chachi? Mera sath toh koi nahi hai." Nandini said stuttering....chachi chuckled and moved towards her.

" Mujhe pata hai Manik yahan hai...kuch ukhada ukhada sa lag raha tha...ja uske paas."

Listening her Nandini bobbed her head...chachi turned to continue... Nandini moved forward but again stopped.

" Aur sun main tere chacha ko nahi bataungi ki Manik yahan hai...hmm? ( She bobbed her head) aur sun agar aur chahiye toh le lena." Nandini bobbed her head moved to her room.

She pushed the door and kept the plate on her study table... Manik was sitting on the couch that was near her room's window.

He was staring at the sky...she moved towards him and hugged him from behind. He felt her presence that's why he didn't flinch.

"Manik..."

"Hmm"

"Khana kha lo chalo" Nandini said breaking the hug but he denied she sighed and held his face in her small palms and said

" Please... it isn't good to skip food. I know u r not in ur proper state...but for me please." Nandini blackmailed him as she really didn't wanted him to skip food.

Manik sighed and bobbed his head... 
" Wait I'll wash my hands and I'll come." Nandini said Manik bobbed his head and Nandini went into the washroom.

Manik's pov

Never in my life I thought I will get to see the same scene that I had seen 2 years back.

Why does she always have to use that weapon? Why? Why isn't my mother like other mothers? Am I not worthy of having good mother?

Huh...why am I even asking you. You won't reply. I wish I was never born to see my own mother's deeds. It hurts to see that.

Already Fab 5 is broken. Alia isn't well. Dhruv isn't ready to listen. And now on top of this. Why? Why?.

I felt her hands on my cheeks.... I looked up at Nandini. My girl who is worried seeing me not responding.

Having her beside me it really makes me feel happy. I thank you for sending her but not for other things.

"Manik...please.." I heard her whisper and a sob near my ear.

" Shh I am fine... Hmm?" She bobbed her head and sat infront of me with the plate...

" Mm... Manik the food is not like how u have... don't mind we mostly don't non-veg nahi toh chachi sachi banati..." Look at her...as if I never had South Indian food.

"Nandini relax... Hmm? Aisa nahi hai ki I never ate South Indian food. Yaad hai on Manglore trip. Your amms gave us South Indian food only...so relax I'll have it." I really didn't mind having it.

Infact I am used to these dishes...she broke a chapati and dipped it in sambar and brought it infront of me. I had it...though it was little salty but I can have anything from her hand.

We both fed each other... After finishing the food Nandini got fresh and went out with plates to keep ot down I guess.

I was lost in my thoughts that I didn't even realise when Nandini came back with some t-shirt.

"Huh? Yeh kyun?"

" Tumhe ise latkane ke liye" she said sacarstically...making me frown.

"Nandini..."

" Shh today you aren't going anywhere. Chachi ne tumhe yahan rehne ki permission di hai...go get changed." I looked at her...damn this girl.

I was going to oppose but she glared at me... I know sometimes she turns into mini monster.

I went into the washroom and washing my face I came out in the t-shirt and the short pant.

I saw her making the bed... I am getting the feeling of us being married...

After few minutes we were sitting on the bed with the support of the headrest.

Our hands were entwined..she was caressing my hand...she knows how to cool me...my thoughts.

"You know Nandini...many of them have said life is unpredictable...and I was one of them who didn't believe this but now it is happening with me." I said looking up at the ceiling and I felt the pressure on my hand I knew it was Nandini.

" Never ever knew that Fab 5 will split. Everyone called us best friends...but we ended up breaking. It hurts when ur own friends accuse you without any reason. Never knew my own buddy...no I should call him that... Dhruv...he thought I was over shadowing him...why will I ever do so? I never thought that."

My tears were falling down... Nandini kept rubbing my arms... I looked at her...she was pleading me to not to break...

I laid down on the bed keeping my head in her lap.

" You for the second time I saw Neonika doing the same activity...after 2 years...that too with the same guy. Didn't she ever think that what might be her son thinking... didn't she ever cared for me? It hurts Nandini it hurts badly." I don't know why I end up breaking infront of her..

But I never regret it...

"Manik...life mein na jo kuch bhi hota hai na... everything has a reason. Jaise Dhruv ka burst out...you came to know how he thinks of you...then Alia she was emotionally and mentally stressed. Aur rahi baat Neonika ma'am ki... I don't know what to say...but she..she is somewhere doing it on the purpose to break you...but you know what?" I looked up at her...

She smiled with teary eyes and wiping my face said " you are a gem...and you shouldn't care about anything. I know you must thinking what rubbish Nandini is speaking but Manik for how long will you keep regretting? Do you know when appa and amma met with an accident."

She took her pause... it's sensitive I know... I was going to stop her from saying but she said

" When that night came.... I forced my appa to take us out...but what happened... I lost them after that incident. I kept regretting Manik... I kept regretting till the time I was 15... I came to know nothing can be changed once it takes place. So I always thought...if something happens it happens for good reason...you should move on from the dark past. If you keep on regretting na it pains like hell....it really does." And that's it she bursted out crying... I immediately got up and hugged her.

"Shh... please Nandini stop crying...if you are gonna go weak...then what will happen to me? Haan? What will happen to Rishab? Bolo?"

She chuckled with tears bursting out...

" Idiot! You are telling me to be strong and what about you? Why can't you be strong?" She punched my chest...

I agreed to her....later we kept lying down on the bed and didn't even realise when the sleep took place in our eyes.

End of pov

Space academy

Manan along with their friends were standing in the green room. Navya and Aryaman had got shocked when they came to know about Fab 5.

"Aaj for the first tims Fab 5 will play without the 2 members. " Manik said making others look at him.

" Don't worry hum apne dil se perform karenge...chahe hum jeete ya na jeete." Cabir said putting his arm around his shoulder.

Manik and Mukti bobbed their head... Nandini smiled seeing them.

The announcement for Nandini's performance was made.

"All the best guys... rock the stage." Mukti said making them chuckle and bob their head.

They all moved towards the screen leaving Manan behind. Nandini looked at him...he smiled and pecked her forehead making her smile.

" All the best. Give ur hundred percent. Hmm?" Nandini bobbed her head and pecked his heart.

They moved towards their friends giving last wishes they let Navya, Aryaman and Nandini move on the stage.

( Consider the same performance that they did on talent hunt.)

Next was Harshad and his team...but what shocked them was Dhruv in his group.

"What the hell! Yeh Dhruv pagal ho gaya hai kya? Why is hed there?" Mukti asked angrily....

"Us Harshad ki toh..." Cabir and Mukti were suppose to go on the stage... but Manik stopped them by holding their hands.

" Guys...let it be..."

"No how is that possible....no no Manik we can't let that happen." Mukti said but Manik said

"Do you guys believe me?" They bobbed their head...

" Will you guys agree whatever decision I will take?" Manik asked calmly...

They frowned but still agreed.

" Trust me guys whatever I am going to do will surely hurt you but we need it...you guys know that. So please don't get angry or upset on me." Listening his tone Mukti and Cabir somewhere knew what he will do.

They agreed... Nandini looked at Manik who passed her sad smile.

(Same performance of Harshad...where he stole Fab 5 song and imagine Dhruv to be part of the group)

"What the hell! They even stole our song" Mukti shouted...

" How can Dhruv do this?" Nandini mumbled looking down.

" Forget it guys... I have my own song...hmm...you guys just follow me..." They bobbed their head.

After 2-3 performances it was Fab 5's performance. Manik along with Cabir and Mukti came up on the stage. Nandini and Navya came in the audience.

(Consider the same performance given by Fab 5 but... Alia abd Dhruv are not present here)

After the song... Manik takes the mike and says

"Many of you must be thinking why there are only 3 of us...nahi?"

To which whole crowd shouted in yes.

" Today was the last performance given by us. From today onwards there is no Fab 5. Fab 5 is broken for forever." Listening him whol crowd started whispering.

" What is the reason I can't tell...and I don't want to also. Aaj jo bhi jeete mujhe koi farak nahi padta. But the only thing I know is only us... Cabir, Mukti and me exists and no one else of Fab 5. Fab 5 is no more." Saying this Manik moved out followed by Cabir and Mukti.

Dhruv was smirking seeing broken Manik. He wanted this only and it happened.

Nandini ran towards them...as she came out of the hall she saw them hugging each other.

She stood there as she didn't want to disturb them......

"I am sorry aise maine bina bataye decision liya."

" Maar khayega Manik...and what u did is good. I am happy." Mukti said

" Yes....aur hume sab kuch bhool jana chahiye... let's move on..." Cabir said...

Manik and Mukti agreed...but they stopped listening

"Without us?" There stood Nandini along with Navya.

" Ohh Madhubala tumhe chod ke koi move on ho hi nahi payega." Cabir said to which she smacked his shoulder.

Manik moved towards Nandini and hugged her tightly and whispered.

" Will never leave you my shining star." She smiled and hugged him tightly.

Others admired their bond...

How was it?

Manik is broken.

Officially Fab 5 is broken.
