It'd been 5 years since that ill-fated day. Valentine's Day. Manik Malhotra, who'd reverted back to his Monster ways for the world, still had a place in his heart for his Star, his Nandini, who now had a whole new world herself.
Chance encounters l...
Aaaaand I'm back! With a new chapter, and a new mystery to unravel! So I'm still unsure of how to handle this new character, and let's just say I'll be making it up along as a I go!
Nandini swore under her breath, which was heard by Manik, who was looking at the new entry with suspicious eyes.
"Mira!"
Samrat and Anika yelled gleefully, before running to hug their sister, all three smiling widely with tears in their eyes.

"Mira?"
Mukti asked in a whisper to Abhi, who chuckled. It had seemingly become a habit of hers now.
"Yup, Mira Shergill, she's Anika di and Sammy's sister, based in New York. But she used to live here only pehle, so she's like a childhood friend. She's your age, actually."
Abhi filled her in, as Manik overheard.
Okay, she was Samrat's sister, then why was Nandini looking like she'd seen a ghost?
He saw her turn around towards Malik and Raichand who held the same expressions, as they stared at each other, and then Mira.
Nandini squeezed her eyes shut, this seriously could not be happening. Things had just started going right with Sammy and Raichand, and Mira's entrance just complicated everything, what if this time it's Malik and Raichand at odds?
When they were all 14, Mira used to live with Anika Di and Samrat, and they had a tight knit group, of course, The Three Musketeers had always been a separate entity, but Mira and Sammy had a special place in their heart.
A year later, when Samrat left, so did Mira, for art school. She'd left behind a scurry of emotions though, for both Malik and Raichand.
Raichand held a torch for Mira, everyone who had eyes could see it. He truly believed she was the "one", even at the tender age of fourteen.
For Malik, Mira was a source of comfort. Having had no family of his own, other than T3M of course, Mira was someone he could blindly trust and lean on, after Nandini and Raichand.
While Raichand had a bond with Samrat, Malik had one with Mira.
In between the three, there was mutual understanding. Both Nandini and Malik knew how Raichand felt about Mira.
But for the outside world, it was always Malik and Mira, who stuck out like a whirlwind of romance.
With Mira, nobody knew what she thought, she wasn't one to reveal her feelings very keenly.
