MaNan: It all started with a lie

Condolences

Manik and nandini stood there hugging each other, seeking warmth from each other's embrace, trying to find their lost peace and sanity. After a while manik broke the hug as his phone buzzed with a message and instantly they felt cold, being deprived of the much needed warmth. Manik fished his phone out of his pocket to have a look at the message when even nandini's phone pinged. Both shared a look abd then read the message.

Manik: Cabir ka message hai

Nandini: ha mujhe bhi mila

Manik: mukti alia ko uske ghar le gayi hai

Nandini: aur Cabir ne hume jam room me bulaya hai

Manik: so lets leave?

Nandini: ya

Soon they reached the jam room to find dhruv busy on his phone, probably trying to know about alia's state, abhimabyu talking on the phone with mukti, Cabir pacing to and fro with navya trying to calm him and aryaman seated on the chair looking at all of them with amusement with maddy who sat next to him tuning his guitar.

Manik: guys

Manik called out and all looked up. As soon as Cabir saw manik, he dragged him inside asking nandini to come in too and slammed the door close.

Manik: Cabir kya hua hai?

Cabir: Kya hua hai! Seriously manik yeh tu puch raha hai?

Manik stared at him blankly. Cabir sighed and said-

Cabir: manik alia yaar....she is being so difficult

He said pulling out his hair in frustration.

Nandini: Cabir she is just messed right now...give her some time, I am sure she will understand

Cabir: no behena that can't happen

Nandini*confused*: why?

Aryaman: kyuki our very dear soha khurana came here just some time ago to tell us that fab 5 has a photo shoot tomorrow

Manik: photoshoot? Tomorrow?

Everyone except nandini nodded.

Maddy: dude she is so creepy and weird. I don't get good vibes from her

He said making a disgusted face.

Abhi: none of us get good vibes from her maddy. She is pshycotic

All this while dhruv was sitting silently, lost somewhere. He wasn't even attentive while the others were talking and this was noticed by manik.

Manik: buddy where are you lost?

He said keeping a hand on his shoulder.

Dhruv: manik main alia se baat karu? I think she will open up with me because I know her ki voh mukti ko kuch bhi nahi bataegi. She went stress her toh shall I?

He asked skeptically.

Manik: sure buddy go ahead. Tujhe mujhse permission lene ki zaroorat nahi hai

Navya: par dhruv are you sure? I mean agar baatein aur ulajh gayi toh?

Dhruv: navya don't worry....I will manage her

He assured and navya nodded.

Abhi: dhruv tu abhi ja raha hai na?

Dhruv: ha

Abhi: ha ok I will inform mukti. Tu bas mukti ke ghar pohochte hi use message kar dena and aage ka voh sambhal legi

Dhruv nodded and moved out taking his phone and bike keys.
