The Known Strangers✅

Caught

Recap: MaNan plan for Nandini to stay.... Nandini sings for Abhi

After some time Abhi and Nandini get back to normal which makes Manik and Mukti sign in relief.... Nandini was busy doodling in her book when she heard Mukti

Mukti: Why were you late?

Nandini: Wo Raghav Sir na.... (this made Abhi, Manik, Vaibhav and Akash sir snap)

Akash: What did he do? (Nandini was now seeing everyone in the adjacent benches waiting for her answer)

Nandini: N..... Nothing

Vaibhav: Nandu.....

Ameya: Last two rows... Where are you all.... If whatever you are discussing is so urgent leave the class (the boys were going to get up when Nandini glared them gesturing to sit)

Nandini: Sorry sir I won't happen again (he just gives a curt nod. Till the lecture was over everyone was restless a it spread in the class that Nandini was late because of Raghav. They wanted to hear what did he do. As soon as Ameya Sir left the class all gathered around Nandini)

Aradhya: What did he do?

Hrusikesh: Tune Pehele kyu nahi bola?

Vaibhav: That Raghav.... I won't leave him

Fab5 was shock seeing people so protective towards Nandini

Nandini: Relax guys. Wo I just went to give back the book in library which I issued he just asked me what I was doing in the library so early and few random questions.... Nothing much

Akash: Fine, but you are telling the truth?

Nandini: Ofcourse, Sacchi bas Iss vajhase I got late, now challo na, I am hungry (she held Abhi's and Vaibhav's hand and dragged them out and rest followed them.)

Canteen

All were sitting in the canteen at their merged table as

Saraswati, Hrusikesh, Akash, Khushi, Neha, Aradhya, Vibhuti, Vaibhav, Abhi, Nandini, Cabir, Navya, Mukti, Manik, Richa, Dhwani, Vedant, Rahul, Druv, Aliya and again Saraswati

All were talking randomly and eating.. If a week back someone would have said to fab5 and Abhi that they will find such beautiful friends in a week with whom they would share a strong and pure bond they would have laughed their gut out on that person.... But the EMs had made it possible to break their walls and make this new friendship bloom)

Nandini: Accha listen all (all attention was on her now) Wo... Wo... (she took a long breadth) I am singing with fab5 and Abhi on this Musicana (for seconds there was complete silence on the table and then there was a loud hooting song and everyone congratulating her fab5 and Abhi this was broken by a peon who came there)

Peon: Nandini Murty, Neyonika Ma'am bula rahi hai apko (Nandini gave a 'what' look to Manik who gestured her to go but but but this was observed by someone. Nandini went to Neyonika's cabin

Neyonika's Cabin

Nandini knock the door

Nandini: May I come in Ma'am?

Neyonika: Of course Nandini

Nandini: You called me

Neyonika: Ha, please sit. Wo Nandini actually Manik told me that you are singing with them on Musicana. Congratulations for that.. Amm.... Wo fab5 they practice a lot you know and also they jam when ever they think so or they want to so what I was thinking if you are comfortable you can come and stay with us I will talk to the hostel authorities don't worry about that... So.... I mean so what do you think?

Nandini: (thinking) Wha mere Rockstar kya plan banaya hai...

Mom... (biting her tongue) I mean Aunty

Neyonika: (glossy eyes) You can call me Mom

Nandini: Sacchi

Neyonika: Mucchi my princess I mean Ye.....Yes every of Manik and Mukti's friend call me that

Nandini: (happy) OK... Ha about staying if that will help us to win Musicana I will surely stay with you ((thinking) Sorry Mom jhoot bola) (Neyonika was so happy to get positive reply from Nandini she just went and hugged her)

Neyonika: I so happy.... (breaking the hug) Accha you go enjoy your break.... Go (Nandini leave her cabin happy and joined everyone in canteen... Seeing her coming out so happy all were looking at her)

Nandini: What?

Navya: Kya what, you say what, what happened there?

Nandini: Oh that wo since I am performing with you guys and if I stay in hostel it might be difficult so see asked me that can I come over and stay at their place

Fab4 and Abhi: (excited) And?

Nandini: And I said Yes (this made Fab4 an Abhi jump in happiness where a person also saw Manik all calm as if he already knew what was going to be Nandini's answere)

Neha: Good that will help you be free and practice

Khushi: You guys have to win this Musicana

Aradhya: That tho they will

Richa: Let's go guys we have our next class starting

(All disperse for the class. Fab5 and Abhi were walking Druv and Aliya first, Cabir, Mukti and Abhi next and Manik at the last while checking his phone. Suddenly he was pulled in a class)

Manik: What the.... (but before he can continue he heard the sweetest voice)

Nandini: Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you sooo much Rockstar (she held his face and kissed him hard on his right cheek it happened so sudden that Manik wasn't even able to respond) I am so happy Mani.... Challo Monster kisi kaam tho aye tum (she said patting his left cheek and shoulder and was going to leave when Manik hold her hand and pulled her with force pinning her between wall and him)

Manik: Woh... What was that?

Nandini: (confused) What? (well she was so happy and excited that she did not even see what she is doing)

Manik: I will show you what (he just like her held her face and kissed her hard on her right cheek same like her his actions made Nandini's eyes go widen an he chuckled at her expressions) This

Nandini: (coming out of shock) Wo... Wo I was excited tho bas ho gaya

Manik: Accha waise should I tell you what I do when I am excited (he asked with a naughty smile playing on his lips. Nandini was first confused as what he is trying to say but when she saw Manik caging he again by keeping both hands on either side she got his intentions.... He was just inches away from her now but then the trance was broken by a voice)

Voice: I knew it.... Yaha kuch toh paak raha hai
