Next day
At college

Principal:- Good morning boys and girls. I hope you all are enjoying your college life. There is a good news for you. Like every year we are arranging Fresher party to welcome you all. If you want to perform there please submit your names before last date. Thank you.

Manik:- guys we should perform there.

Cabir:- but Manik we need a guitarist as Harshad left the band. Without a guitarist how will we perform?

Mukti:- Exactly. Abhi can you try to play guitar?

Abhi:- Me? Guys I never touched guitar in my whole life, how will I play?

Cabir:- Mukti leave this bookworm. He only knows how to read books and do top in the examination.

Aliya:- Guys I have a cousin here. He is a fresher too and can play guitar.

Mukti:- how can we trust him?

Aliya:- Guys I know whatever my brother did with you was wrong but that doesn't mean you will doubt on everyone. Trust me he is a good guy and he also sing in a bar as their financial situation isn't that good.

Manik:- okey, you can call him. First we will talk to him and then we will decide.

Aliya:- yeah that's fine by me.

Manik:- Nandini won't you participate?

Nandini:- I am still thinking about it.

Navya:- Offo Nandini why are you thinking so much? We all know that you are a good dancer. You should go for it.

Nandini:- (nervously) but....

Manik:- no if no but. You are performing and that's final Nandini.

Nandini:- okey.

Aliya was flaming in anger by then. She wants to get Manik's all attention for herself but seems like she won't get it until Nandini Murthy is there.

Cabir:- and you Ms. Navya Navily? Won't you participate?

Navya:- I will host the party.

Mukti:- that's great.

Few hours later

A boy entered into an empty classroom where only Manik and his friends were there and said,

Boy:- Hey guys, I am Dhruv Vedant.

Manik forwarded his hand towards him and said,

Manik:- I am Manik, Manik Malhotra and they are my friend Nandini, Cabir, Mukti, Abhi and Navya.

They shook hands and Dhruv said,

Dhruv:- (smiled) Nice to meet you guys.

Aliya:- Dhruv as I told you we need a guitarist to perform with us in the Fresher party, I recommended you.

Hearing Aliya, Dhruv's face fall. He had some feelings towards Aliya but the way she treats him, his heart breaks into millions pieces.

Manik:- by the way Dhruv, I am the lead singer of the band and also a guitarist. Cabir is a drummer, Mukti plays electric guitar and Aliya plays keyboard.

Cabir:- (smirked) yeah and it's not that easy to match my beat.

Dhruv:- then let me try.

Navya:- Wow we are going to watch a face off between Cabir and Dhruv.

Cabir:- okey let's start then.

Dhruv:- but I didn't brought my guitar.

Manik:- take mine Buddy.

Mukti:- well that's something new. Manik never let anyone touch his guitar. Dhruv you are definitely lucky.

Dhruv:- (smiled) Thanks Buddy.

Then Cabir and Dhruv had a face off. If Cabir was born to be a drummer then Dhruv wasn't any less. Matching Cabir Dhawan's beat isn't a joke but Dhruv did unexpectedly well and everybody was impressed by him.

Nandini:- (clapping) well done Dhruv.

Aliya:- See guys I told you.

Manik:- (smiled) Welcome to Fab5 Buddy.

Dhruv forwarded his hand and said,

Dhruv:- Thank you.

But Manik held his hand and pulled him in a hug following by Cabir, Mukti and Aliya. Soon it became a Fab5 group hug. Everybody was so in their hug that nobody noticed Manik holding Nandini's hand. Yes it was Nandini who convinced Manik to give a chance to Dhruv, otherwise he wasn't ready to accept a new member in his group after all Harshad has teach him a life time lesson.

Navya:- so guys it's decided then. Except Abhi we all are performing right?

Abhi:- (irritated) why you all are behind me always?

Mukti:- Aww don't be sad baby.

Few days later
At Murthy House

When Manik pressed the doorbell Chachi opened the door and said,

Chachi:- Oh Manik come inside.

Manik entered inside the house and said,

Parth:- (smiled) Hello Chachi. How are you?

Chachi:- I am fine. Nandini is getting ready.

Manik:- (irritated) This girl will never learn to be on time.

Chachi:- Manik today I made Bhindi Pasta. You sit here till then I will bring   it for you.

Manik:- (hell scared) Noooo. I mean I just had my dinner Chachi. Trust me there no space empty in my stomach. But don't worry I will come soon to taste your new dish.

Chachi:- Aww that's like my son.

At that time Nandini came downstairs while wearing her earrings.

When Manik's eyes fall on her his heartbeat increased as if he had ran a marathon. He was totally lost in her beauty.

Manik:- (whispered) beautiful....

Chachi:- (fake coughed) aham aham. Wow Nandu you are looking so beautiful today.

Nandini:- (shyly) Thanks Chachi.

Chachi:- (laughed) Manik was waiting for you from so long. Now go and have fun kids. 

Nandini hugged Chachi and said,

Nandini:- bye Chachi. Manik let's go.

Nandini was talking to Manik but seems he was in his own world.

Nandini:- (shouted) Manik...Manikk...Manikkk....

Manik came to the reality and said,

Manik:- yeah let's go.

In the car

Manik:- (nervously) em..Nandini you are looking gorgeous today.

Nandini:- (blushed) Thank you. But why today? I mean don't I look gorgeous always?

Manik:- yeah you look gorgeous always but today you are extra gorgeous.

Nandini:- (confused) but why?

Manik:- because not always we wear matching color attire.

Yes today they were wearing matching color dress, but as soon as Manik finished that sentence he realized how cheesy it was. He bite his tough and said,

Manik:- (cutely) sorry sorry I didn't mean to pass cheesy lines. It's just slip of tough, that's it.

Manik was looking like a cute little kid that Nandini couldn't help but pulled his cheeks and said,

Nandini:- (laughed) aww Manik you are so cute.

Manik:- (grumpily) ouch. Don't do that girl, it hurts.

Nandini:- haawwww.....

Nandini was about to pull his cheeks again but this time Manik turned his face other side and said,

Manik:- Nandini stop doing that. I am driving and let me focus on the road.

Nandini:- okey.
