The Known Strangers✅

Monster in Cuffs

"Happy Birthday" A loud cheer brought the Thakkar bro-sis from their world and they turned to see the gang present there, who pounced on Abhi wishing him Happy Birthday making him and Nandini stumble a little, soon they left him and wished him personally, it was that time Manik hugged Abhi tightly saying "Happy Birthday Bro, I am so happy" to which Abhi nodded smiling

Nandini: Ho gaya? (Nandini asked impatiently) Bhai let's cut the cake (She said excitedly. The cake was brought and Fab5, EMs, Malhotra couple and all the guest stood there)

Abhi: Cake? Seriously? Am I a kid?

Nandini: Oh hello, you just have to cut it, nahi khana tho maat kho, main tho soch rahi thi khud hi katu but since it's your birthday I give you the honors (she said dramatically making all the people present there chuckle and Abhi made a bad face)

Abhi: Ok I will cut (he cut the cake but was in a fix who should he give the first bite, MukNi saw the confusion and giggled

MukNi: Here (they said and made Abhi give the first bite to Neyonika and she feed him back as all the others adored the girls, Abhi then feed Nandini on Mukti's orders and then Mukti, followed by Manik, Druv, Aliya, Cabir and the EMs. The party was going in full swing, everyone was enjoying their time)

Abhi: (suddenly) Ek Minute! (He said gathering attention) that means you all know from the beginning that she knows (he said accusingly to all)

Mukti: Oh no! No Abhi, I got to know just two days back

Aliya: Same here

Vaibhav: You told us yourself (and rest EM boys nodded to second him)

Vibhuti: Nandini told us in the morning (all EM girls nodded to second her)

Abhi's eyes darted to ManBhir

ManBhir: We.... We kinda know since long (and before Abhi could launch and them Nandini was standing between raged Abhi and terrified ManBhir)

Nandini: Bhai I told them not, I wanted some time trust me and I wanted to tell you myself

Cabir: And we didn't know how would you react

Manik: We were worried for you

Abhi: (with soft eyes) You guys were worried for me? You didn't know how would I react? (He went and hugged ManBhir and all signed in relief breathing out the breath they were all holding) I live you guys! This is the best birthday! (He said coming out of the hug)

Nandini: (changing the topi Accha so how is my gift? (She said gesturing the digital frame which now showed various pics of fab5 with Abhi and the gang with Abhi)

Abhi: It's the best! (he said and hugged Nandini)

Raj: Has to be my princess took so much efforts (he said joining in with Neyonika)

Manik: Ek second, when did you guys got to know?

Neyonika: Yesterday when we came home at night Nandini meat us before any of you and took us here (she said gesturing the Thakkar Mansion) then she told us that she knows everything and then asked us to help her in the plan so that in our absence Abhi has to go to office and she can do all the arrangements here with her friends (she said gesturing Fab3 and EMs)

Abhi: (emotionally) I am so Lucky to have you guys with me

But all he got was a usion

"YOU SHOULD BE" and laughter
