Still trying to calm himself Cabir says, "Save it for later Manik. By the way there's someone else also on the call who wishes to speak to all of us, specially you Manik."

Taking this as his cue Mr. Mehra joins the conversation, "Hello Manik"

There's again a silence as everyone gets shocked recognizing that voice, their dream mentor.

Recovering from the silence,

"Cabir stop it." Manik says acidly.

While Cabir whines saying "But it's not meeee this time!"

"This time? You did this stupid joke before also?" Mukti said while trying to control her laugh.

"I had no choice! Manik wouldn't talk to me." He pouted. And Navya laughed quietly seeing her husband behave like a 5yrs old kid.

Mr. Mehta for some odd reason found these young men and women funny and cute.

"Manik it's not Cabir this time. If you want, check the conference call. See there are six members on the call not five." Mehra said trying to sound firm.

With him saying this except Cabir rest all members immediately checked the call and saw it's real. It's six members not five.

And as soon as they realised that MR. MEHRA is really here on the call with them, they all gasped.

Somehow druv managed to speak up.
"S-since w-when!?"

Cabir chuckled nervously and replied "since the start"

As soon as those words left his mouth it was followed by another loud gasp of shock! It was pin drop silence when mehra decided to break it.

He cleared his throat and spoke up. "I know you are all shocked but this is important. And should I presume that manik is still the leader of the group?"

"Y-yes." Alya replied timidily.

"Then may I speak to the leader?"

"Y-yes s-sir." Manik replied stuttering not able to recover from the shock.

Okay now that I have all of your attention, let me tell you the reason for my call.

"First of all my secretary has been trying to get in touch with you all since the last six months. But none of you responded. Which is a high disappointment." Mr.Mehra said in a firm tone.

Fab 5 who till now had not been able to digest the fact that their dream mentor had called them were now scared hearing his tone.

Manik just meekly responded, "Sorry sir but we have not performed as a band from two years. We have all been on a break."

"Break! More like we have disbanded" pipes in a angry yet sad Cabir.

"Stop it Cabir." Multi speaks up.

"It's the truth mukti. See the damn reality. How long are you going to ignore the fact?" Cabir said in a annoyed sad tone.

This was a truth that all five knew but till now have not been able to come to terms with it.

Knowing that he would get such a reply Mr.Mehra smirked and said, "I know all of it. Save all of this for later and hear me out now."

"Yes sir" Fab5 spoke together.

"I have a proposition for you."

Just as mr. mehra was about to continue, they heard a new voice.

"Sir! Sir! Druv sir, are you ok?" Druv secretary speaks.

Druv with a drowsy tired tone says he's fine. Then the secretary reminds him that he's still on his call. She leaves saying she would bring his coffee.

"You moron! Stop wasting my phone bill!" Cabir scolds druv.

"I asked you to sleep a bit, why wouldn't you listen to me?" Alya said worriedly.

"Sorry!" Druv says guiltly.

"You crackhead! I was the one who called druv not you!" Mukti should at Cabir.

"Guys! Whats going on?" Manik asks being the lost soul.

"Why should we tell you?" Mukti taunts manik. And supporting her Cabir also taunts him saying, "go continue hiding in your man den."

"What does that even mean? 'man den'?" Druv asks confused.

Alya even though she wanted to say something but was feeling a bit awkward and scared. Thinking that her words might hurt someone, she doesn't speak up.

"Okay you all can reconnect later. For now hear me out." Mehra says in a authoritive tone.

"Please continue sir." The leader speaks up on the behalf of his group.

"I would like to launch you back in the music industry this new year. I want YOU all to come back TOGETHER and perform as a BAND." Mehra drops the bomb.

All of their tounges tied hearing Mr. mehra's words.

Manik was the first one to recover saying, ''I don't​ know Sir! As you know we're not together anymore and have all begun a new life keeping music aside. I doubt we'll be as good as before!''

"And we all are settled in different parts of the world." Alya said sadly.

"Exactly. And our dear great leader, we are talking to him for the first time after our disbandment." Cabir says.

"Also the fact that even after we tried to contact manik, manik always ignored us." Mukti also complains.

"And sir i don't think music is in me anymore." Says manik.

Mr.Mehra in an assuring voice says, "Manik I may be a businessman but even I understand music. Once you make music a part of your life, it never departs even if you try to leave it. If you all decide to come back together nothing can stop you. If your music​ comes from your heart it'll definitely make a mark. But for that mark you have to make that attempt."

Manik still being unsure remains silent.

Just then Alya pipes in saying, ''I think we should give it a shot."
