Manan ff - unconditional love !

Celebration time

Recap: Manik's plan got Harshad behind the bars and saved Rishab. The Fab 5 won the Musicana trophy as well as the album contract.

After the end of the eventful day, all of them gathered at Nandini's place before departing for their respective homes. Usually, whenever Fab 5 would have a winning trophy in their hands, that night would always be their celebration night. No one would sleep and all of them would just celebrate the victory. This time however, even though it was a big achievement and they were all very excited about it, nobody had the energy to celebrate. It had been a hectic day for all of them, physically as well as mentally and therefore they just needed some rest.

Nevertheless, their victory did not have to go in vain because just when they reached home after getting Manik's wound dressed at the hospital, Chacha had kept a delicious cake waiting to welcome them. As Chacha had been a fatherly figure to the Fab 5, they felt really touched by that gesture. Nandini was still worried about Manik's wound even though the doctor had said it in front of her that it was nothing to be worried about and that he would be fine soon enough.

Amms: I am so glad my Nandu found such great friends who never left her side in the difficult situation she faced today. This is true friendship which glows even in the darkest of times. And all of this has to have a special mention of Manik for being so supportive of Nandu.

Chachi: Yes Amma. You're absolutely right. I always knew how close the Fab 5 were to Nandini but today, what Manik did to save Rishab and Nandini's performance, it was just commendable.

Chacha: So that calls for a celebration. Come let's cut the cake now.

All of them join in together and the Fab 5 cut the cake while all the others cheer for them. Nandini took the first piece of the cake and fed it to Rishab and the next one to Manik. After the Fab 5 had fed each other and also the others with the cake, Chachi took it inside to cut it into proper peices to be served to each one of them.

While all of them were sitting together, discussing about the whole day and their performances, Mukti got a call that made her blush and she moved aside to answer it. All of them understood just who must have it been to make her blush and started teasing.

Mukti: (on the phone) Hey!

Abhimanyu: Hey my love! Congratulations!!

Mukti: How do you know we won?

Abhi: How could I not know that? Of course it had to be the Fab 5! Who else is better than you'll ?

Mukti: (blushing) Thanks!

Abhi: So where's the party tonight?

Mukti: We're at Nandini's place where Chacha got us a cake. Other than that there's no other party tonight. We are all too exhausted. It's a long story, will tell you once you come back from Pune. But when are you coming back? I miss you!

Abhi: I'm sorry baby! But you know this is important right? It's my new job and I couldn't deny them sending me away for a month for this work. I have to be really careful.

Mukti: Yeah I understand. So, do you talk to uncle and Aunty often?

Abhi: Dad never receives my calls. Mom does assure me that someday he would accept and forgive me just like she has. But, I don't know. I think I have hurt him too bad for him to be able to forgive me.

Mukti: It's not like that darling. Things will change and they will change for better, trust me!

Abhi: (trying to smile) If you say so.

After the cake cutting, all of them depart for their respective homes with a decision to meet early morning the next day to go on for a picnic at Manik's farmhouse for the celebration.
