So sorry for the delay guys.

Please do vote and comment guys.

Avoid mistakes if any....

Manik drove to Nandini's place first as it was already late and he didn't want to keep her out for too long as chacha chachi will be worried.

Stopping infront of her house Manik came out when Nandini was bidding bye to Alia.

"Take care Alia. And don't take stress share it out with Mukti or anyone whom u can trust. Hmm?" Nandini said making her bob her head.

Manik smiled seeing them... Nandini came out and stood infront of Manik. He gave her a smile when she said

"Manik Alia ko jyada der tak akele mat chodna. Please." He nodded holding her hand.

"Tum jyada stress mat lena. I will handle. Hmm." Nandini bobbed her head and giving him a quick hug she went towards her house.

Till the time she didn't go inside Manik waited and Alia smiled seeing him like that. She too came out and stood beside him.

"You love her alot nahi?"

"Bahut jyada." He whispered without even thinking a minute.

"You are very lucky Manik to get her. She is incredible." Manik smiled and bobbed his head.

"Chalo I'll drop you at Mukti's place and then leave to my house." Alia and Manik moved into the car and this time Alia sat infront.

The ride for 10 minutes was silent. Nobody spoke anything. Out of nowhere Manik thought to speak.

"Alia" she looked at him playing with her fingers.

"You know right that we all love you? I never intended to make you feel low. I never knew how you felt when... I am sorry...." Manik said with a low voice making Alia feel guilty.

"No Manik... I am sorry. The things what I said that came out to be my frustration, my anger and the pain towards Dhruv. I never ment to say that infact you were really loyal I know... I know what love means to you but I broke it... I never trusted you. I am sorry" she cried while saying this where as Manik gave her a hurt smile.

"You know I guess it was just a mere attraction towards you...we eneded up being paired up but somewhere we didn't knew what true love means. So it's okay...but I am really disappointed being your friend first you didn't even think to let me know? As far as I know I gave most of my time to Fab 5. Whenever I be with Nandini everyone blames me saying I don't spend tims with them at all...." Manik was letting out his frustration that he had towards Alia.

"Agar life mein na sirf tum sabki parvah karbi hoti na toh main na tumhare sath relationship mein hota aur na hi Nandini ke sath. See Alia we all have an individual life being a part of Fab 5 doesn't mean we have only that life. We have alot of things in our plate which we don't even know." He said and stopped the car as they reached.

Alia was all the time looking down at her hands as she was taking his words thinking about it very deep.

"Tumhara bhai hai Harshad even though how much he tries to hurt Fab 5 but he still loves you but being jerk he doesn't share it...he is blind behind the revenge. Alia when we think na life is always cruel to us...we think no one is there to support us, to give their shoulder for us that time you know you have urself. Khud ladna seekhana hota hai...har mod par har koi sath nahi hota."

"You are now sounding like my father." Listening her Manik chuckled and shook his head.

"Pehle Nandini ko mother bola ab mujhe father...kya yrr... utna bhi budha nahi hun main." He said moving out of the car.

"But you do sound like one." They both turned their gaze to the person.

"Haan. For sure Nandini ka asar hai." Cabir said teasingly to which Manik rolled his eyes and said

"Shut up! Anyways it's late I'll leave."

"Kahan?Nandini ke paas?" Mukti asked giving him a teasing smile.

"Nahi... Malhotra Mansion need to deal with someone." They stared at each other knowing his anger.

"Manik shanti se kaam lena." He bobbed head and again sitting into the car he left to Malhotra Mansion.

"Chal Alia..." Saying Mukti bid bye to Cabir and Navya who also needed to leave for their apartment.

In the car

"I won't leave you Neonika. Bas bahut hua tumhara. Ab bas kuch ghanton ki baat. Bahut shauk hai na to kill others I'll show." Saying this in his mind Manik drove to his Mansion.

Here in Mukti's apartment Alia and Mukti were sitting on the bed and talking or should I say solving their minds.

"Manik has turned really good... I mean he was telling me a lesson of life." Alia said with a smile.

"That's all because of Nandini. Agar voh nahi hoti toh shayad aaj hum sab bachhon ki tarah behave kar rahe hote. Somewhere this change is needed in our life." Mukti said looking at her to which she bobbed her  head.

Taking a long pause Alia spoke " I made everyone upset na? Har kisi ko dukh pahunchaya maine..."

"Ohh agar voh sab na hota toh shayad Dhruv ke maan mein jo chal raha tha na voh sab pata nahi chalta hume samjhi...aur jo hona hota hai na voh ho jata hai...so relax." Mukti said to which Alia gave her a sad smile.

"You know Alia jab main pills le rahi thi na tab tum logon ne mujhe bahar nikalvaya aur even when Abhimanyu wasn't there that time too...and Alia tumhe bulimia hai voh bata dena chahiye tha hum mein se koi tumhe judge nahi karta." Mukti said to which Alia replied.

" I know but uss samay bahut kuch ho gaya tha...so I... I really didn't knew maine jo kiya woh sab frustration ke vajah se kiya... I am sorry" she cried... Mukti hugged her immediately and said

"It's okay. Shh...shh...forget it...forget it."

Here Manik reached Malhotra Mansion he was about to enter when he was stopped by the guards.

"Sir aap andar nahi ja sakte." Listening him Manik frowned.

"Kyun? Mujhe mere ghar ke andar jaane ke liye kyun rok rahe ho?" Manik asked furiously

Before he could reply a thud sound came...which was not common but could easily make out what it was.

How was it?

Few words for Manik.

Few words for Manik and Alia's bond.

Few words for Alia and Mukti's bond.

What happened?
