Nan: Good morning Navya.

Nav: Very good morning Nandini. Where are you? When will you reach the college?

Nan: Navya, actually I have some work, I'll reach directly at the the time of classes.

Nav (sounding low): Oh! I thought we could spend some time together before classes start today. But no worries, tomorrow is Sunday, we can spend time together tomorrow and I am not going to listen to any excuse of yours for the same.

Nan: Navya, you know right I have given a challenge to Fab 5 then (thinking for sometime) actually Navya, if you wish you can come with us tomorrow.

Nav: Really Nandu? Ok then, inform me when do I need to arrive.

Nan: Won't you ask where?

Nav: You called me right? Then what's there to ask, I have my full trust on you.

Nandini gets overwhelmed hearing this.

Nav: Ok now we'll talk later. Will meet you in the class. Take care.

Nan: You too.

Nan (self talk): How easily Navya said that she trusts me the most and not only said she even proved it. She never questions me, whatever I say she believes it. I always wanted a friend like her but due to that incident, I am still not over the fact that I can never form a friendly relation with her or anybody else in that case. But I won't break Navya's trust on me, I will always be there for her whenever she needs me.

After finishing her morning chores, Nandini leaves for GOD'S ANGELS Orphanage, the same orphanage where she had lived for 6 months before shifting to her place. After hearing a little about Manik and Fab 5 from Neyonika and knowing few of their interests based on her observation, she knew what she has to do tomorrow with Fab 5 and what surprise challenge has to be given to them. She had decided to help Fab 5, even after facing their challenges, not because she was some saint but because she believed in being a successful human being, believed in helping even if they didn't ask her, she wanted to feel the same satisfaction after getting a smile on someone's face, and right now she saw many faces, Neyonika, Manik and Fab 4 in front of her. She wanted to get music back into Manik's life, into Fab 5's life. Yes, she doesn't know the reason why they left music, why after being so much into music what made them let it go. All she knew was that she wanted to do something apart from being an ordinary person who targets a good job, a good house and good food and considers only this to be a successful life. She wanted to help Neyonika get a smile on her face, who gave her a drop of love that she had been yearning for since years and for this, she needed her Lara Maa's help.

Lara Maa, caretaker of the orphanage GOD'S ANGELS who loved each and every child like her own.

Nan: Lara Maa, where are you?

L.M.: I am here Nanda

Nan (annoyingly): What Lara Maa, I have told you so many times don't call me Nanda, it sounds so weird.

L.M. (giggling): Weird or not, I'll call you by this name only.

Leave that, let's have breakfast together, like earlier.

Nan: Fine, I can talk with you also then.

L.M.: What talk?

Nan: Actually Lara Maa, I need your help.

With that she narrated her plan. Lara Maa and Nandini shared a different bond. Being the eldest in the orphanage, Nandini always showed her maturity and shared orphanage's responsibilities with Lara Maa. Lara Maa was the only one with whom Nandini could, for sometime at least, free herself from the shell that she has been living in since 2 years, and for Lara Maa, Nandini was someone whom she trusts blindly and discusses every small and big issue with her.
