Cabir thought of giving some time to Madhubala because maybe at this point of time, shewill not listen to him. She will think that he is pitying her. He was playing with the spoon when the doorbell rang. He ran towards the door with his plate in his hand. He opened the door.
Cabir- Madhubalaaa I know you would come back... How can you leave m...ma...Manik!!!!
Manik- what are you blabbering? See I brought pizza for you.
Cabir pouted and said: No I do not want waise bhi meri madhubala ne mujhe khana bana ke diya hai.
Manik- what TERIIII madhubala? where is she?
Cabir- She left...why are you here?
Manik- stop being rude Cabir... I know you are angry at me but I have my reasons....
Cabir- Shut upp yaaar!! You were always like this. You ditched her on Musicanna for Dhruv and now, the same thing happened. You always care for the fake friends you have but not for the love of your life.
Manik-please listen to me... I need your help!!!
Cabir- You know I want to kill you for hurting Nandini. Do you even realise how much she is broken? Navya even left me because of this claiming that this college ruined their happiness. The main reason is because of Fab5 and I am no longer willing to be the matchmaker of Manan waise bhi main bahut pareshaan hoon Navya ke jaane se.
Manik shook Cabir shoulder to allow him to talk.
Manik- please listen to me. I had my reasons and let me explain damn it!!!!
Cabir nodded and sat on the table with a big pout and he narrowed his eyes.
Manik sighed and continued-
Do you seriously think I would have let her go Cabir? She is my life and I am hurting also. In the jam room, remember I was restless and I was about to text Nandinii...it's because a private number sent me pictures of Nandini...there were pictures when she was in college...in the music room and even inside her house...in her room. I was afraid but I could not tell her because she would panic... You know what happens to her when she starts to panic. That number threatened me that Nandini will die soon if I stay around her.
When this whole fiasco was happening...I forgot about this and let my emotions overtake me. When she hugged me I noticed there was a man peeping inside the jam room through the window. He had a gun pointed at Nandini... that's the reason why I made a decision like this and left her. I am afraid Cabir....me being around her means her life is in danger. I do not even know who is behind all of this. That person literally attacked my weakness Cabir. Now...now that Nandini hates me I do not what to do anymore.. My life is so messed up.
Cabir got up and hugged him...
Cabir- I do not know that you were going through this... I am sorry for judging you...I feel so bad right now.
Manik- Pagal ho gya hai kya? I completely understand...You reacted as a brother and I also wanted the person to know that you are angry with me. We have to act as we are not talking to each other. Please help me to protect Nandini...you are the only one she is close to right now.
Cabir- I am telling you Dhrulya are into this too. Maybe this is why they react as if nothing has happened.
Manik- I really do not know Cabir, I do not know whom to trust anymore. I feel so frustrated...I am unable to trace that call.. I am unable to think straight.
Cabir- PLEASE TELL THIS TO NANDINI...else she might end up hating you Manik...
Manik- How can I do this... I am afraid they might hurt her if they get the slightest idea that we are talking.
I am so confused Cabir... I know Nandini will do anything to make my lose my sanity. I hope I am able to control myself.
Cabir- And... what if she falls for another boy? How will you cope without reacting??
Manik pondered about what Cabir just said and facepalmed himself saying : Daamnnn only Nandini has the power to drive me crazy.
Cabir - I want your help too...in bringing Navya back here.
Manik- why? you should be happy...
Cabir- She told me she has feelings for me and I think that I also kinda...love her...
Manik- What?? but ..how? I mean you ...you are gay right? The other time you wanted me to find a boyfriend for you either white or black remember?
Cabir- Shut up...I do not know how I fell for her I want her in my life....
Manik- Nandini and Navya ne hum dono ko pagal bana diya..now let's see hume pareshaan karne ke liye kya kya karenge.
Cabir realised Manik's word and sat down...shocked.
Both were afraid of the upcoming torture of Navni...
Manik- I was already Majnu Malhotra but now, you are Cabir Deewana Dhawan... welcome to the group Cabiraa.
