The Hidden Love ✔️✔️- (BOOK 1)

Manik returned

Malhotra Mansion, London.
Neyonika : "But why Manik why Australia?"

Manik : "Mom. You know I feel suffocated here. I think I will be feeling better in Sydney."

Neyonika : "Okay take Soha with you. Then I'll be tension free."

Manik : "No mom! Not Soha. I mean I know she's a nice girl and that she loves me a lot. But these days she has been walking around me like a pet. Mom I need my personal space."

Neyonika : "Fine! Its impossible to argue with you."

Manik gets ready with his bags and leaves the Mansion and joins Dhruv. Both head to airport. While Dhruv looks at Manik " Fab five here we come!" thinks Dhruv. As they were in the Cross street lane they see Soha's car. Dhruv gets tensed and Soha notices the driver of the car wearing a cap and hiding his head as far as possible. She gets suspicious and opens the door of her car and then comes a big shout "Hey you crazy moron lady! Get into the car and drive quick.." She immediately gets into her car and drives past the driver glaring at him with anger..

"God saved us today from wrath of Soha" says Manik.

Dhruv : "I thought u liked her.. I mean you know the great lovely dovely couple?"

Manik : "Girlfriends are crazy and I don't even want her to be one. But she is just my past so I have to accept it."

Dhruv : "Sometimes it's better to forget our past and just move on with a smile."

Dhruv and Manik reach the airport. They board the flight and occupy the adjacent seats.
Dhruv : "I'm so excited. You know I will be meeting my friends after months!"

Manik : "Months? Why? Don't tell me you didn't talk them for all this time!"

Dhruv : "Hmm.."

Manik : "Oh wow. The guy who taught me the real meaning of friendship didn't celebrate his own friendship with his so-called friends.. Can you let your buddy know the reason?"

Dhruv : "Its a stupid reason. in the sense, so ... But I think you will be glad to meet them. We all had a band. Fab five. Its was so awesome. I mean so like ya, I was in love and I felt insecure, and she loved someone else cheated me so I left her... and so on, I mean a long story. God knows what more I have" Dhruv gives a soft laugh making Manik laugh a bit.

Manik : "Fab five. Sounds so familiar! Anyways. I'll be overwhelmed to meet them."

Dhruv : "Yep."

The flight reaches India. Dhruv takes Manik to his old Malhotra Mansion. "How you came to know about this place.? Its my dad's na??"

Dhruv : "Sixth sense. Anyways. So you wont mind if I stay here."

Manik : "Of course not."

Dhruv : "I'll just come back.."

As Dhruv left, Manik roams around the place. And Manik reaches the swimming pool, he remembers seeing a girl playing with colours with a guy, both are in the swimming pool very close and tight that not even an air particle could pass through them. 

"What's happening to me?" Manik whispers "It seems as if I visited this place before, it makes me feel like I belong here. I think Dhruv was right about India. It is a place where even a stranger feel so much of belongingness"

On the other hand Dhruv thinks "I have to talk to fab five about Manik's condition. If we try too hard to get his memory back it may harm his life. That's what the doctor told me. So I can't take any risk."

Dhruv decides to first meet Mukti so he goes to Mukti's place. Mukti sees Dhruv.

Mukti : "How dare you! How could you show your face after doing so much. Get lost."

Dhruv : "Listen Mukti. I am sorry. You why I did all that."

Mukti : "For Aliya. But did you think about us even once?"

Dhruv : "I know I am guilty. How's Aliya?"

Mukti : "Shattered. Unhappy. She feels the worst. She has lost trust in love."

Dhruv : "Varun?"

Mukti : "That cheapo loser was a cheat! He dated three girls at the time when he was dating Aliya."

Dhruv : I don't believe this. The guy for whom I thought Aliya was made for cheated her..

Mukti : "It was always only you in Aliya's heart. I saw the real smile on the face of my friend when she was dating you."

Dhruv : "I promise I will make everything back to normal. It will be fab five again.

Mukti : Oh! It totally slipped out of my mind. Cabir is alive. Abhi brought him back."

Dhruv was so happy to hear the news.

Dhruv : "Okay I have also a surprise for you all. I have found Manik."

Mukti : What?!?

Dhruv : "Yes and a bad news."

Mukti : "What can be bad? Fab five will be back and think about Nandini. She would be so happy to hear this. Oh she must have met Manik till now. After all Manik would of course meet her first."

Dhruv : "No!!!(shaking her body) no. He has lost his memory. And we can't remind him directly as it can take a toll on his health. Plus Neyonika and Soha have played dirty tricks. They have tricked him that Soha is Manik's girlfriend."

Mukti : "Soha? How the hell she is alive? She was dead na"

Dhruv : I have no clue! So here's my plan.

He discusses something and leaves winking at her. Soon Dhruv leaves Mukti's place and reaches Malhotra Mansion. He discusses with Manik about the party that Fab five has kept for himself.

Manik : "But how stupid are your friends. A surprise party and let you know all about it."

Dhruv thinks "We have kept this party for you. We want our old Manik back!"

Nandini's house.
Mukti calls Nandini "Nandu we kept a party that now Abhi and Cabir are back. I know it would be difficult for you but please come today. We have a big surprise."

Nandini : "Why wouldn't I come? After all my friends are back. And Cabir and Abhi are my friends.
I'll come with Aryaman. Don't worry."

Mukti : "Okay cool talk to you later. Need to call Aliya Cabir everyone!!"

Nandini : "Bye take care!"
