Kaisi yeh Yaariyan Season 3

Chapter 11

The sun was setting behind the hills, it was early June and even the late evenings were unusually hot. Monsoon would be here in a couple of weeks hopefully. The bus was moving up the winding roads. On one side was the hill and on the other a sharp ditch. A canopy of trees covered the hilly road and sunshine streamed through the thick web of lush green leaves. It was just a matter of 10 more minutes before Nandini would reach her stop. Nandini liked Panchgani away from the hustle-bustle of Mumbai. No one bothered her, she didn't have to run away from anyone or anything here. She could spend nights crying, she could skip dinners, she could strum away her evenings on Manik's guitars, she could do anything without having to explain or apologize.

She remembered she had to call Navya. She looked at her watch. Navya's show must have been over by now. She dialed her number.

Navya: "So Nandini you finally remember you have a friend."

Nandini : "I know I shouldn't have cancelled the plan yesterday. Sorry."

Navya: "Its ok Nandini. There's no place for these formalities between best friends. But I am worried because you don't sound ok Nandini."

Nandini: "I am ok Navya. Don't worry so much about me. Hey, I saw your poster today at the bus stand. Tu to bari famous ho gayi hai yaar. Acha, is Shahid Kapoor coming to your show for the promotions of Udta Punjab?"

Navya: "Yes that's the plan."

Nandini tried to sound enthusiastic: "Milwayegi mujhe?"

Navya: "Ab milke kya karegi, tu to sagai kar rahi hai na?"

Nandini: " Haan to sagaai hi kar rahi hun, duniya thori na chor rahi hun."

Navya: "Is it necessary Nandu?"

Nandini: "What?"

Navya: "Natak mat karo Nandini. Tum janti ho kya. Kya yeh zaroori hai, yeh sagaai with Neel."

Nandini: "Tumko to sab pata hai Navya. Fir why are you asking the same question that Dhruv and Mukti asked me. I don't have an option. Aur fir kiske liye? Manik Malhotra ke liye jo hamesha ke liye chorkar chala gaya aur kabhi peeche murkar nahi dekha."

Navya: "haan janti hun, sab janti hun, par yeh bhi janti hun ki poori zindagi insaan ek jhoot ke saath nahi guzaar sakta."

Nandini: "Navya don't make it more difficult for me. Let's not discuss those things that we can't change. By the way how's Abir? Did you receive any information from his adoptive parents?"

Navya: "No Nandini. Kabhi kabhi I feel ki Bohot bari galti kar di maine Abir to adoption ke liye dekar. Main soch rahi thi ek week ke liye delhi chali jaoon. Unka address hai mere paas.. Dur se hi sahi but I want to see Abir.. He must be 3 and a half years old now."

Nanini's stop had arrived. She got down and started walking uphill towards her quarter. Except for a couple of kids playing on the road, it was almost deserted. It had started getting dark.

Navya: "Kuch log, kuch rishte hamesha ke liye hi hote hain Nandini..bhale hi who log saath na rehte hon. Abir bhale hi harshad ka beta hai par uski responsibility Kabir ne uthai. Aaj na to Kabir hai aur Abir bhi mere paas nahi par who rishte kal bhi wahi the jahan aaj hai aur inke bina zindagi adhoori hai. "

Nandini kept quiet.

Navya: "Tum chahe jitne bhi hate messages dedo, tumhari life se Manik ka sayya kabhi nahi jayega Nandini."

Nandini: "Navya!!! Kitni baar kehna parega tumse ki I hate Manik. Stop mentioning him. Will you?"

Navya: "Chill Nandu. I won't mention him. You take care. I will call you tomorrow.

Time changes everything. People and their relationships, Nandini thought, unlocking the entrance to her apartment.

It was only yesterday when she had stepped in Mumbai and in to S.P.A.C.E. It was only yesterday the famous FAB5 had tortured her and Navya. It was only yesterday when Monster Manik became only Manik. It was only yesterday when she had unknowingly and illogically and hopelessly fallen in love with him. It was only yesterday when she had the best of friends in Kabir, Dhruv, Mukti and Alya.

But today, Kabir is dead and so is FAB5. The ones who remained are scattered and broken. There is no friendship and no love...and Manik..only Ayappa would have known what happened to Manik.
