MaNan: It all started with a lie

Brewing Insecurities

Alia left the fab 5 jam room asking for some time to register all the facts and started moving towards the garden with mukti following her. Alia was confused, hurt and somewhere scared, her insecurities were showing up.

Alia was lost deep in her own thoughts and trying to sort her messed up mind when she felt someone's presence beside her. She looked the other side to find mukti sitting there scrolling through her phone as if she did not know that alia was next to her. Alia shook her head in disbelief at her acting and called her out.

Alia: mukti I know you are acting

Mukti: who? Me? Acting? Are why will I act?

She questioned acting oblivious.

Alia:  I know you mukti and I also know that you have a lot to say right now but its just that I am messed up right now and I really don't wanna talk about fab 5. I need some lone time please

Mukti: alia seriously kya fab 5 ke alava we have nothing to talk? You are forgetting it yaar ki other than being fab 5, a band, we are mukti and alia. We were, are and we will always be best friends alia

Alia was feeling guilty now.

Alia: I am sorry (sigh) I did not mean to...forget it!

Mukti: hey chill babe its ok....you don't need to explain anything to me. Acha lets do one thing...lets crash somewhere and spend some alia-mukti time what say? This will help you in clearing your head and will also distract you from all the tensions

She suggested.

Mukti: so your place or mine?

Alia: not my place. I don't feel like going home

Mukti: why? Wait let me guess....harshad? What did that douche do now? I won't spare him

She said getting agitated.

Alia: no mukti, Bhai ne kuch nahi kiya and karenge bhi kaise....he toh just left

She chuckled humorlessly.

Mukti*confused*: Chala gaya matlab?

Alia: matlab kal raat jab me ghar gayi I found out ki Bhai ghar par nahi hai so I called him but unka phone off tha. You know he just vanished. Unhone mujhe kuch bataya bhi nahi. Way to be a good brother

She mocked harshad sardonically with a sad smile.

Mukti: its ok alia. He doesn't deserve this concern of yours. Don't be sad for a person like him

Alia: you are right but  he is my Bhai mukti, however he is nothing can change it (sighs) you know sometimes I get scared when Bhai pulls of such stunts. Its....its like he is planning something....something big

Mukti: chill babe we all are there for you

She assured her.

Mukti: now lets go?

Alia: ya

They left with mukti typing a message to Cabir.

Message

Taking alia to my place....she's upset.

Terrace

Nandini and maddy stood there hugging each other side ways, nandini's head on his shoulder.

Nandini: hmm?

Muddy: ek baat puchu?

Nandini: ha bolo

She said looking at his face.

Maddy: uh voh....actually.....
