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

After a week when college started.

No one spoke anything about Manik and Nandini. They tried to behave as casually as possible, but awkwardness was still present. Manik didnt want to sit with them at the start, but after serious threats from Nandini, he agreed to join them. No one was talking to him except Nandini and Mukti. Boys totally ingnored him, as if he wasnt there. Manik never said a word, but was just silent all the time.

Even during classes, Manik used to sit alone in the last bench and left for home after his classes were done. If he had to wait for Nandini or Mukti, he used to sit in the library spending time with books.

No one, not even their family knew that Manik was taking therapy. Nandini and Manik were taking sessions together or individually as they were advised. It was Nandini's idea, because she really wanted to give themselves a chance, but first they had to let go the past. Manik was hesitant initially, but after a couple of sessions he realised that those sessions were much needed for him to let out all that was stored in him.

After a month into their sessions, Manik was getting better. Nandini was happy to see the positive change in his behaviour. That day when he flinched, something inside Nandini broke. She wanted to see her monster back in action. They were taking baby steps, but they were really happy with the progress that they were making.

15 days later: Manik's POV

"Hi guys" I walked into the room nervously and they turned to look at me. Cabir got up to leave but I held his hand and said in a low tone

"Please... at least listen to me"

He didn't say anything, but he didn't leave the room either. I sighed and started talking

"Guys, I am sorry, for everything I did and every word I spoke that day. I truly am sorry. I don't know what got into me that I reacted that way, but I realized how horribly I was wrong. Hit me if you are angry but please don't ignore me. I can't bear your silent treatment anymore."

There was pin drop silence in the room before Harshad and Abhi came and hugged me. I also reciprocated the hug and tears escaped my eyes. It's been so long that I was with them, and if not for Nandini I would have not come to talk to them soon. Her first condition to accept my apology was to make everything right with everyone and her list went on and on and on. I had to start somewhere and I decided to talk to the boys first, so I messaged them from Nandu's phone to meet in Malhotra mansion in an hour and they were here.

I heard someone clearing their throat and saw Cabir, Dhruv and Aryaman standing there with a smile on their faces and the moment I broke the hug with Harshad and Abhi they pounced on me making me laugh at their craziness.

"finally the drama is over" Cabir said and that caught my attention, what drama was he talking about. But before I could think more about what he said there was a knock on the door and SHE entered the room with a sweet smile on her face.

"Baby girl" they all shouted in happiness seeing her and squeezed her together in a hug.

"Guys I cant breath" she said in a hardly audible tone and they released her. I smiled at the sight of her having fun with all my buddies.

"Can I have my girl back??" I said annoyed as they hardly noticed me after she came.

"Sorry mister she is our sister first and your girl next... so stay away" Cabir said crossing his hands on his chest and I raised my eyebrow at his comment.
