After the Breakup

1. (Missing)

Nandini reached her place in Mangalore and met amms...

Amms - Nandu are you fine, was your flight ok, why did you travel alone.

Nandini - I'm ok Amms, and I'm an adult now, so I can travel alone

She said with a smile but still amms could notice that something was wrong with her, thinking it's just tiredness of the travelling, she told Nandu to take rest...

She freshened up and instead went to the roof top for some alone time..

Next day:-

Nandini - Amms I'm going to college for admission...

Amms - college mein admission, but Nandu you already study in space..

Nandu - Amms, you know I was always interested in science, music to bas neri hobby hai so I've decided to study science further..

Nandini - and amms I don't like the lifestyle of Mumbai, and aap bhi yaha akeli, I was missing you so much, so I came back here, hamesha ke liye...

Amms - but Nandu, hamesha ke liye..

Nandini - ha amms, waise bhi I went there for Rishabh and now doesn't get attacks anymore, doctors are treating him right, and Chacha-Chachi are also there for him so I came back..

Amms - This is the only matter ? Nandu if something's is bothering you, you can share, I'm your amms

Nandini - No amms why are you thinking like this, it's nothing like that..

Amms - Is it so, then why is your face so dull, earlier you used to be dancing all around and you're so quiet now)

Nandini - Amms, I came yesterday so I'm just a bit tired, just wait and watch tomorrow you yourself will say Nandu chup ho ja..

She said trying to sound cheerful..

Nandini - bye amms.

Amms - bye..

Nandini takes admission in a Science college which she always wanted, she wanted stay away from music as of now as this reminded her of him...

Manik's place night :-

Though his friends insisted to stay with him tonight but he refused saying he was ok when he wasn't..

He was drinking on the terrace one after the other to suppress the pain but all he could do is, remember her...

Nandini saw the saw stars and remembered the diwali day:-

"You know, For the first time someone's look equally beautiful as the stars and it's you", she remembered what Manik said and a tear rolled down her eyes...

While Manik looked at the stars shining brightly and remembered the night she was drunk...

"Manik, tumna inke chakkar mein matt paro, tum na hamesha mere saath raho hamesha, ok and I will, I will shine for you", he closed his eyes tightly remembering this suppressing his tears..

"Why didn't stay with me forever Nandini, why did you do this", he said and gripped the alcohol class so tightly that it broke, leaving his hands bleeding, but it was nothing compared to his bleeding heart...

"I have to stay happy, even if I'm broken from inside, for my amms, what's her mistake here, I don't want her to be sad at all, this is not the end of everything Nandini, you still have people around who love you and you can't hurt them", she said to herself...

Meanwhile in space:-

As Manik arrived he was getting usual glares from everyone, je entered the Fab5 jam room and saw everyone tensed...

Cabir - here he is

Mukti - Manik did you get to know

Manik - know what?

Alya - Soha is not dead, she is still alive..

He eyes widened listening to this..

Cabir - yeah, the police just found out..

Dhruv - to phir Mr. Khurrana ne uske murder ki F.I.R. kyu likhwai..

Mukti - Wahi to, why would he claim is our daughter dead..

Meanwhile Manik just left the place without saying a word to anyone, they called him out but he didn't listen..

He drove to the police station to find out everything...

He saw Nyonika & Mr. Khurrana over there..

He held Mr. Khurrana's collar in anger, he was fuming in anger, he was the reason why his love was away from him...

"Why did you lie", he shouted, thw police man separated them..

"Because, Nyonika told me to do so", he said..

"What! Listen don't make up stories", he shouted..

"He is speaking the truth", the inspector said..

"On Nyonika's order he declared that Soha is dead and filed a case against you, because Nyonika threatened him to tell the world about his daughter's mental instability, and he didn't want the world to know this, his image and reputation would be stake afterall", the inspector said according to the statement he gave before and Mr. Khurrana nodded..

Things were getting harder for Manik now, why would Nyonika do so, what will she get from it..

"For now, we'll keep both of them inside lock-up, until any further notice", the police said handcuffing them..

"Wait, Nyonika you gotta tell me tumne aisa kyu, just tell me kya mila tumhe ye sab karke", he shouted..

(Wait, Nyonika you gotta tell me why did you do this, just tell me what did you get by doing all this)

"Because I wanted to separate you from that Nandini, she was changing you into good, no you couldn't be good, you are a monster, the monster I created and she was trying to change you, so I did for separating you from her, and I was even successful until..", she said and glared at Mr. Khurrana..

Before Manik could argue further the police took both of them with them..

"Manik, we will inform you further incase you're needed, you can go for now", the inspector said and he looked at him blankly..

He went out being extremely lost and saw Fab5 standing there..

He could feel tears brimming his eyes, Mukti rubbed his shoulder to console him and Cabir hugged him, soon it turned into a group hug.

"Manik tu thik hai na", Cabir asked and he nodded when everyone knew wasn't..

(Manik, you're fine right)

"I think you should go home and take rest", Alya said..

"She is right, zyada stress mat le Manik, everything will be fine", Mukti said..

(She is right, don't take much stress Manik, everything will be fine)

He was just giving blank looks to them, he felt extremely lost..

"Manik, hum tere saath chale kya", Dhruv asked..

(Manik, shall we come with you?)

"Nhi, I'm fine, don't worry guys I'm fine", he said leaving the place...

(No, I'm fine don't worry guys I'm fine)

"How can he say he's ok when he is not, I'm so worried for him", Alya said genuinely but Dhurv took it another way but stayed quiet..

"Isse bas Nandini hi thik kar skti hai", said Cabir...

(Only Nandini can make him ok)

While Nandini got admission in a science college and started focusing on her studies, she tried her best to be happy and cheerful infront of Amms, and she enjoyed the peace of Mangalore while missing Manik...

To be continued...

Have patience everyone Manik & Nandini are gonna meet soon, there'll be a leap too, wait for it..
