Recap: formation of the thunder 3 band with Manik, Navya and Soha.

After enough jamming till late evening, the fab 5 and the thunder 3, although rivals now for Musicana, sit together for some relaxing time. Mukti had already left for some important work as she said to the others. She had obviously gone to see Abhimanyu. Dhruv and Aliya had been trying but still could not see eye to eye.

Manik: okay guys I'll take your leave. I need to go somewhere.

Nandini: no wait ! You need to drop me home. Actually chachi wanted to meet you. Yesterday you left from the door itself so she said I should bring you home some other day.

Manik: okay come.

Manik and Nandini leave together , Cabir and Navya leave together and Soha also leaves so Dhruv and Aliya are left alone. Aliya gets up and starts moving when Dhruv grabs her hand from behind and stops her. Aliya immediately gets nervous and tries to remove her hand from his hold but Dhruv would just not let go.

Dhruv: I need to talk to you.

Aliya starts sweating, her heart beats increasing and her legs feeling weak. She turns around to face him, with her head bent low, not looking at him, in his eyes.

Dhruv: (bringing her closer) Come. Sit.

Aliya takes a seat beside him still bending her head low.

Dhruv: (angrily) Do you realize what you did last night ? Why Aliya ? How could you do that ?

Manik and Nandini reach his bike in the parking when Nandini asks,

Nandini: So, am I disturbing your plan ?

Manik: Plan ?

Nandini: You said you had to go somewhere.

Manik: Yeah ! I was just going to see that kid in the hospital. I can go after I drop you. It's alright.

Nandini: Why is it alright ? I'll come along with you. Do you mind ?

Manik: Not at all.

They drive off towards the hospital. On the way,

Nandini: You did not answer my question from last night.

Manik: What ?

Nandini: Why do you wear these glasses with 0 power. I told you you look much better without them.

Manik: Maybe I don't want to look much better.

Nandini: What ? Why ?

Manik: (laughing) Just kidding.

Back in the music room,

Dhruv: I understand it must have been difficult for you but is this really the way ? I mean you know it and everyone except Nandini knows how much I love her.

Aliya looks up at him with tears flowing out of her eyes. Dhruv still does not pay heed to those tears and continues angrily.

Dhruv: I know, after Aryaman, things would have definitely been difficult for you. You might have needed someone close, but did you really want that close person as me ? Your friend who loves another one of your friend ?

Aliya feels broken at that. She keeps crying and staring into his eyes as if asking, "how could you say that?" His allegation on her about her physical needs that might have led to what happened was really painful. She kept staring at him for some more time and then left the room crying. Dhruv was so angry, he completely neglected her tears and moved out of the room to follow her.
