Nyo: Nandini?

Nandini turns back to find Nyonika standing on the staircase with a wide beautiful smile on her face. She immediately comes down and hugs Nandini tightly. After breaking the hug..

Nan: Good evening ma'am

Nyo (smiling widely): A very good evening to you too dear. I am so glad that I got to see you now. I was wondering how can I wait till tomorrow.

Nan: Something important ma'am?

Nyo: Of course it is important. Today, the Fab 5 performed again after 2 years 3 months 5 days and 20 hours!! And all this is because of only and only you. Thank you so so much dear.

And hugs her again.

Here Fab 5 was astonished on hearing this new piece of information.

Cab: Mother India, how did you know?

Nyo (grinning): Want to know? Then watch this!

She hands him her mobile and Cabir plays it for Fab 5. The video was of their today's performance in the orphanage. Fab 5 were extremely confused that how come she knows and who had done the recording. 

Neyonika understands their confused faces and says..

Nyo: Confused right? Wait let me tell you, the girl right here (holding Nandini and looking at her) She is a gem, Just once I told her about Fab 5's love for music, don't know how she saw that longingness in my eyes to hear you guys sing again, and she made it possible today. (with tears in her eyes) Thank you child, thank you so much. I know it's only you who made it all this possible.

Turning towards Fab 5.

Nyo: She recorded and sent it to me.

Fab 5 were stunned.

Nyonika goes towards Manik, Manik looks at her with expressionless face and as soon as she comes face to face with him, he lowers his  eyes, unable to meet her eyes.

She caress his cheek and plants a kiss on his forehead and says:

YOU SANG VERY WELL TODAY.

Manik shots up his head to see in her eyes. He sees the same pride and happiness that he used to see earlier whenever he used to perform. His eyes get brimmed with tears.

Nyo: It was a beautiful performance. Can we hope to now hear frequently from you, and the Fab 5?

Manik was feeling out of the world. After 3 long years his mom spoke to him in such a loving way. And even requested him, pinned her hope onto him. Without his knowledge a lone tear drop falls from his eyes, while he smilingly nodded.

Nyonika goes back to Nandini.

Nyo: Now you got to know why I chose YOU to be their tutor? Nandini you don't know what a gem you are and I didn't want to let you go off.

Nan: Thank you ma'am but I didn't do anything, it was their decision to perform.

Nyo: Whatever it is, but I know it wouldn't have been possible without you. And now I am sure, they would not only score 60% but more than that under your tuitions.

Nan: Sorry ma'am but I can't continue as their tutor anymore.

This shocks Nyonika.

Nyo: What?? But why? (looking back at Fab 5) did they do something with you? Did they play a prank on you?
