#7- Fatal Insecurity

#7- Fatal Insecurity

Recap (just in case :p) :
Manik uses one of Fab 5's most dangerous traps in SPACE by trapping her in the old auditorium. She uses her right mind and stops the noise but gets herself locked in a small, rusty control room and faints out of claustrophobia. Manik along with fab5 and navya take her to sick bay where Manik sits beside her unconscious self, much to Alya's dismay. Her observes her closely and feels something. Later, by eavesdropping he finally finds out that neither Nandini nor Navya knew harshad from before, and so are innocent.

NEXT DAY

Fab 5 were sitting in the canteen and Mukti was cribbing.

"What yaar Manik... How can we just leave her like that? She dared to mess with Dhruv, with Fab 5, and above all, she's with Harshad. Dekha nahi Harshad usse milne bhi aaya tha in the sick bay." Mukti said.

"Yaar Mukti, Manik keh raha hai toh kuch reason hoga na. Chal na koi naya bakra dhund lenge." Cabir said.

Manik was quietly observing their expressions. Except Cabir for some strange reason, both Alya and Mukti had sulken faces. They clearly were disappointed with Manik's idea of not putting Nandini in trouble anymore. Dhruv was expectedly happy.

"Manik, why are you suddenly thinking so much for that girl? We've never spared anyone then why do we spare this behenji either?" Alya asked, or rather demanded an answer.

"Alya stop making this a big issue okay.", Manik said, "And besides, we've done a thing horrible enough yesterday. And she fainted, didn't she?" he said looking at everyone, "I think we're done with her."

Alya face went red with anger, she never expected Manik to go against her, especially when Fab5 is around. She picked her bag and walked out of the canteen.

"Le fir naaraz ho gayi. Ab ek aur bouquet bhej dena." Cabir said to Manik and earned a glare in return.

*********************************************

Nandini and Navya were attending their back to back lectures. Even though Navya and Chachi insisted to take rest for a day, she didn't budge for she didn't want to miss Pandit ji's class.

Both Navya and Nandini noticed the way students and teachers were looking at Nandini, the news of Fab 5's stunt on her had spread like a wildfire. Soon it was time for Raghav sir's class.

Once again the students were called, this time in the old auditorium with their instruments.

"Aiyoo, instruments, but maine uss ke saath kuch bhi practice nahi kiya. Aiyappa mujhe kiske saath phasa diya..." She whispered and covered her eyes.

"Hamara bhi wahi haal hai. Main aur wo Cabir sirf ghoom hi rahe the college mein, aur wo mujhse harshad ji ke bare mein puch raha tha."

"About Harshad? Kya puch raha tha?" Nandini asked.

"Woh-" she was cut by Raghav sir's announcement.

"Good afternoon students. I hope the interaction between you guys went pretty good yesterday. So without wasting much time I would like the students to come in pairs one by one and present whatever they've made till now." Raghav said and looked at the students nervous faces.

Nandini's eyes darted all over, until it landed on a certain someone, who was already staring at her. She bounced on her feet realizing he was coming towards her only.

"Hmm.. so seeing your faces I can easily say none of you are prepared. Well, don't take any of my words lightly, I'm very particular in what I say." He said further, "So I give you guys a week more. After one week, if I ask and you aren't ready, then no marks for this unit. So better start now." He concluded, receiving loud gasps from the audience.
