Author's POV
They reached nandu’s office in time to see nandu and his dad leaving for lunch who stopped seeing manik’s car. In order to invite him for lunch together with them. When manik and cabir came out of the car it shocked both of them as they never expected them together because of the past.
“Hey I came here to take you for lunch but it seems you have already got a date.” Manik said jokingly while hugging his father and then giving a forehead kiss to nandu and half hugging her.
“we are about to go for lunch would you like to join?” manik’s dad asked. While nandu was still shocked by cabir’s presence.
“Yeah, sure I need to discuss something with you guys too. Cabir if you want you can join too.” Manik replied shocking nandu and his dad.
“What are you talking about manik?” nandu asked.
“Lets first go to the restaurant.” Manik said. They left from there and nyonika was watching from the office gate and was thinking what was going on there.
After reaching to nandu’s favorite restaurant they ordered there food and sat down on the table. Manik could feel the awkwardness being there so he decided to clear it, “Hey cabir came to my office when I was about to leave to meet you. He showed me something that intrigued me about your safety that’s the reason he is here with us.”
Cabir showed the video to nandu and his dad and told them what he suspected.
“So, you mean to say that Raghav is back after all this time to take revenge for what happened at musicane where none of us was at fault and he is working with harshad who was the real culprit are you even hearing yourself?” nandu said after everything.
“Hey, I don’t know why he is back but its sure that he is back and was involved in whatsoever happened with you. I thought this can be helpful for you so I came here.” Cabir replied.
“Or you came here with this because you thought if you tried to help us or pretend to help us maybe manik will forgive you and take you back. As you cant live without his help and money.” It was manik’s dad this time.
“That’s not true at all its different thing that I want him back but not for his money but because he was my bestfriend and I know I have done a lot of mistakes to reach here but this doesn’t have anything to do with the video I swear.” Cabir clarified.
“Okay then, you have shown the video and send the video to manik and get lost because I don’t think manik needs you here.” Manik’s dad said. Cabir looked at manik and saw that his dad was right and he didn’t want him here so he sent the video and left from there.
After cabir left he got a call he picked it up and realized it was nyonika so he was about to cut the call when she said, “I know where Raghav is and what he is planning to do. He is here for you and wants to talk to you.”
“I don’t want to meet him or even see him. I don’t care if he is here to get back together after all this time and what he did is a perfect reason for me to not meet his ever again in life.” Cabir replied.
“But don’t you wanna protect your bestfriend who doesn’t even want you around anymore. If you want to come straight and you will see a black car get in that.” Nyonika said and cut the phone before cabir could say anything.
Cabir contemplated whether he should go to meet her or not. He wanted to protect his bestfriend but didn’t wanted to meet Raghav but it was necessary so he decided to go meet them. He reached the car and got in. nyonika was already in the car when she saw cabir she said, “Oh! So you chose your ex-boyfriend instead of your ego good.” She laughed and started the car.
“Where are you taking me I thought you wanted to talk to me and tell me where the hell is Raghav?” cabir was confused.
“I am taking you to meet him and then you lovers can talk it out between yourselves about what you are going to do about each other.” Nyonika replied while looking at the road. They reached a mansion which looked very expensive and royal looking, cabir was confused but kept silent.
They entered the mansion and cabir saw Raghav was sitting on the couch with harshad. Cabir was shocked to see harshad as police had arrested him.
“Oh well, look who is here to protect their bestfriend.” Harshad said, “don’t be so shocked money is the real thing here and you can buy anything.”
“So, the thing is that we know that your bestfriend doesn’t want you around for whom you once left me too.” Raghav said.
“I think you have memory issues it was harshad who outed us like that and then you were the one who left me.” Cabir replied.
“No, it was manik who did that. Because he didn’t wanted us to be together. You should remember that only he was the one who knew the truth about us at that time. How did harshad get to know about us you never wondered?” Raghav asked. Cabir was silent for a moment but then, “manik knew abou us but I am 200% sure he didn’t tell or outed us in front of whole college. It was harshad who did that I don’t know how he got those pictures but he was the one as he didn’t wanted Fab 5 to win.”
“it was manik who told me about you both. In anger, he told me about that I don’t know if he remembers it as he was drunk but he told me or how could I know just think.” Harshad said.
This shocked cabir that his bestfriend could do that to him. At first, he thought that they were toying with his feelings but after thinking for a while he actually started beliving that manik was the one who separated him from his love.
“We can still be together but we need to take revenge from them. He cant stay happy with his love after breaking us apart.” Raghav said while standing up and goin to hug cabir. Cabir was standing frozen from the realization and finally hugged Raghav his first and lost love tightly while crying heavily.
