" So....hows your life going on? With all those deadly instruments?", he asked and she looked at him confusedly and raised her eyebrow asking 'What'.

" Arre those surgical tools you use. Whats that called? Ya...scalpel. Take it in front of some common man and he will file an attempt to murder case against you.", he said and she rolled her eyes. This man and his baseless humour!

" Oh please...Its atleast better than yours han. Sitting at one place the whole day and signing files after files and then digging your heads in that computer screen to make presentations.", she said with slight shake of head followed by his poker face which made her chuckle.

" Anyways. Its all going fine. And ab toh my mentor's Pops. So no worries.", she said with a sweet smile and he too smiled back . " Lucky you han.", he said making her pat her own back to which he rolled his eyes.

" Hey! Mukku told me that your brother Rishab's here?", he asked suddenly making her nod.

" Yeah. He's joining SPACE. Same as mine. Medicine.", she said with an expression of pride on her face which didn't go unnoticed by Manik. He smiled knowing how much hardships she had faced to fulfill her dream and now seeing her little brother follow her path, how proud she must be.

They walked around whole campus, talking about their current life and careers, also bantering on some silly things, when they reached the caffeteria. Deciding to have a cup of coffee, they went in and settled on their most favourite table, which was once the adda of the eight people. Manik placed the order and turned to her, only to see her looking around in admiration.

" What happened?", he asked, taking the salt box and playing with it. She looked at him with her ever sweet smile and chirped in, " You remember those moments we spent here? Sitting here with you after like eight years is such a nostalgia." She said dreamily and his lips stretched widely at the corners as he looked around the place where they had uncountable memories hidden.

" Hey you see this. Its still here.", he said suddenly his eyes widened as he spotted the scratch on the centre of the table. There it was scribbled:

" The World of Fab5 and TG3 "

" When all the things were being refurnished and renewed, SSO himself ordered to preserve this table. Even Ruhi told that no one other than TG3 junior and us are allowed to sit here. He wanted to preserved our memories in here.", she said and the smile didn't leave his face.

" You remember how Navya whined all the while when Cabir wrote Fab 5 and then you had to add TG3 to it to make her happy.", he chuckled and she too laugh nodding her head. Navya was all the time a dramaqueen and showed a lot of tantrums when Cabir wrote only Fab 5, saying that they don't have a group name like them. It was only when Nandini went to add TG3 in it and Cabir fed her a free Chicken Cheese Sandwich that she calmed down.

" Waise Cabir se yaad aya. Howz your kitchen? Did I miss the funeral?", he asked teasingly and she laughed out. Last nights memories flashed in front of her and her laugh turned uncontrollable.

" Are are hame bhi to batao apne is khushi ka raaz. Zara ham bhi hasle. ( Tell me too whats the reason behind your laugh. I too want to.)", he asked with an amused expression and she nodded her head trying hard to control her laugh. Just then, Raju the son of the caffeteria owner came and served them their coffee and Nandini asked him about how his graduation was going on and he happily answered her. Manik just sat there admiring her. How easily she mingled with people around and cared about every person who crossed her path. She was surely someone special. Atleast for him.
