Covenant--A Pact Of Love [ in editing] .[✔️COMPLETED]

91. (Bonus Chapter--Part 2)

The whole room was silent which was getting to his nerve. "Guys..say something." He requested them. Looking at Cabir he continued "Cabir...please help yaar.."

Before Cabir could say anything Mukti spoke "What will he say...in fact what can he say when he himself kept us in dark along with you." Mukti looked at Cabir "Cabir if you want to keep your head then do not defend Manik today."

Cabir simply nodded shocking Manik "Cabir how could you.." however Dhruv didn't let Manik finish "How could you not share such an important thing with us Manik..don't we mean anything to you at all.."

Manik shook his head "..Buddy..don't say things like that. You all mean world to me.."

"It doesn't seem that way Manik." Alia scowled "..don't you trust us..like at all."

"Alia it's nothing like that. "Manik panicked now. "I just wanted to sort everything out before dropping this news to you all. I was worried how you all will react."

"Manik how else could we react.." Mukti replied "...we knew that something was up with you since you came back from Mangalore. You were a changed and a better person who was worried about others. We could see it along with the world. However even after gazillion times you didn't answered our questions. We all were so puzzled until Nandini came along.."

Manik kept quiet as Dhruv continued Mukti's words "..Nandini changed you for good. And we all knew something was going on between you two but then too we didn't say anything because we wanted you to tell everything to us by yourself. But unfortunately you didn't. When I kissed Alia and shared my feelings about you with her...do you remember what you said to me back then Manik."

Manik nodded "..that indeed we had fallen apart and aren't as close as we were supposed to be."

"Indeed we have fallen apart Manik...because even you didn't bothered to share such an important thing with us."
Dhruv was disappointed and Manik could clearly see that. "I am sorry buddy.." he hugged him. "What I did was inexcusable..and nothing can change this fact. I was angry back then on you that you didn't share your feelings about Alia with me but I am way worse as I did the same thing by hiding one of the most important and precious relationship of my existence from you all because of my own insecurities and fear. I have committed a crime so whatever punishment you all will chose I will bear it silently as I am guilty of breaking your trust."

Dhruv hugged him back "We are not angry at you buddy. We are simply disappointed that you didn't trust us."

"Exactly Manik." This time Alia spoke "Nandini mean so much to you then why wont she matter to us."

Even Mukti agreed on this "..if you like Nandini and want to be with her then we will support you no matter what. And when I say "We" I mean "We All" Manik."

Manik knew exactly what Mukti meant. One of the reason why he didn't wanted to share his feelings with Fab 5 because he was not sure about Alia and Dhruv. Alia was his ex-girlfriend and Dhruv liked Nandini so of course that made Manik insecure as he wasn't sure of their reaction.

But now at the moment looking at both of them he was feeling really worse as he had clearly underestimated his friends and their loyalty towards him and their friendship.

"I am extremely sorry guys." Manik accepted his fault and literally begged for forgiveness by going on his knees. "I am sorry for disappointing you all."
However the very next moment his friend got him back on his feet and they all hugged him at the same time. "What is this Manik. Are you crazy or something.." Mukti slapped his back.

"I am sorry guys.." was all Manik could say.

They all left him but still kept him close "Since this is your first mistake we will overlook it and forgive you. However if you do it again then no one will be able to save you from our wrath...not even Nandini and his friends."

"I promise I will never ever hide anything from you all anymore. No more secrets." Manik promised.

His Fab5 hugged him once again which made him sigh in relief as his friends cum family were still with him. "However we need details of everything.." Mukti winked at him.

"Agreed.." Manik winked back.

Finally they heard a knock on the door and the next moment heard Nandini's voice "Are you guys done..."

"Yes Bhabhi ji.." Cabir rushed to open the door as he knew Manik would kill him if he stood next to him.

Opening the door he welcomed Nandini in "Please come in.."

She looked at Manik who was rolling his eyes but she could see the smiling faces on the room so she knew that everything was just fine.

"Manik..don't you think it's time.." Cabir reminded him something which automatically made Manik's eyes shine with happiness.

So he rushed towards Nandini and snaking his arm around her waist pulled her closer "Guys..meet Nandini..My Girlfriend.." and then he looked at Nandini's Nandini's shocked face and finished his introduction "..and Nandini..meet Fab 5..my friends cum family."

Nandini finally recovered her wits to reply "HELLO GUYS..I AM NANDINI..MANIK'S OFFICIAL GIRLFRIEND WHO JUST GOT INTRODUCED TO YOU ALL."

They all said in unison "HI NANDINI..NICE TO MEET YOU."

"SAME HERE" Nandini smiled.

However before they could carry on with their conversation Trilok walked in.
"Save your Hi and Hello's for later...because  it's time Manik."

"For what.." Now Nandini was shocked.

And to add up to her confusion Manik asked Trilok "What about the four of them.."

But the next moment Nandini's confusion got cleared and her eyes shined with happiness as Trilok replied "Aryaman and Riddhima are apologizing to Soha and Madhyam right now as we speak. And it's official that Soha and Madhyam are a couple now."

"That means.." all of them spoke together.

"Yes..our plan worked. Aryaman and Riddhima are ready to fight together for being together. They have stopped with the whole "quitting and running away" thing and had chose to face the issues between them head on by giving one more chance to themselves."

"Really.." Nandini was ecstatic now. "Wow...that's.." however before she could finish her sentence she remembered something. "Wait a second..what were you saying to Manik just now Pandit Ji..it's time for what.."

Manik smiled as Pandit answered her question that really shook her to the core because she was not at all ready for the surprise that both Manik and Trilok had planned for her "..It's time for the finale performance of the FUSION CONCERT my dear child..the most important performance..that will be performed by none other than Manik Malhotra and you my little Munchkin."
