Manik updated his friends about Nandini.

        Cabir : "We have been following her daily activities for the past few days. She is either at the college attending her classes or she is at the volunteering club. Rest of the day she is at home, she is leading such a boring lifestyle."

        Alya : "In order to lead an exciting life, you need wealth. Probably she is yet to find someone with whose wealth she can enjoy."

        Cabir : "Why would someone join a volunteering club voluntarily? Most of them are forced to be there as a disciplinary action."

        Alya : "She would have trapped so many people and broken so many relationships in pursuit of wealth. This might be one way of washing away her sins. Or this might be a way she is using to impress people by portraying that she is very good."

        Manik : "Why should we bother about what she is doing and why? Let's focus on what we have to do?"

        Cabir : "That's what I was arriving at, but I got sidetracked. We can speed up our plan if you join the volunteering club."

        Manik : "You know that isn't my cup of tea. Mom wanted me to join her in her volunteering activities several times, but I always avoid it. Think of some other option."

        Cabir : "That's seems to be the only way you can get close to her. She isn't going to come to us and join our music club, so you will only have to go to her, and this is the only option I could think of."

        Manik : "If I join that club, what about our club?"

        Cabir : "You don't have to worry about it. I and Dhruv will take good care of it in your absence."

        Manik once again agreed unwillingly since no one could come up with better ideas.

        Manik met the president of the volunteering club at the their next meeting.

        President : "What brings His Highness here?"

        Manik : "I want to be a part of your club for a short time."

        President : "May I know what is the reason for gracing us?"

        Manik : "What will you do by knowing the reason? Just get my work done, partner me with Nandini."

        President : "Why her? Are you targeting her for some reason?"

        Manik : "You are right. How did you guess?"

        President : "You aren't someone who would go behind girls. Last time too, you got her name cancelled and added her to your club, so I figured out. What did she do to you, and what are you planning to do with her?"

        The president was a little concerned.

        Manik : "Why so much concern for her?"

        President : "I don't want to lose a volunteer because of your actions."

        Manik : "If she leaves, someone else will come in her place. There is no dearth for people."

        President : "You know very well that very few people join our club on their own and she is one of them. She is very dedicated and I wouldn't want to lose someone like her. But I can't deny you either, I will make the necessary arrangements soon."
