Manan- it a revenge game

Part 3: Hate For Fab 5

Manik pov.........

Manik took a deep breath, his mind racing with the pros and cons of the decision laid out before him. The battle between his heart and mind waged on, each side presenting a compelling case. He couldn't escape the undeniable truth that surrendering his rights for Aliya was no longer an option. The strain on his relationships, especially with his family, had reached a breaking point.

As he observed the boys glaring at him with familiarity, a shared history lingered in their eyes. Yet, Manik pushed aside the mystery for now, his immediate focus on reclaiming his life and repairing the bonds with his family.

Amidst the turmoil, thoughts of Nandini flooded his mind. The lawyer's revelation about the contract signed on their birthdays triggered memories of his childhood plan to marry his star. Now, faced with the reality of his choices, Manik contemplated the pros and cons of the impending marriage.

The pros painted a picture of a future filled with love and understanding. Nandini, his childhood love, possessed the qualities that complemented his character. Her courage, modern attitude, and ability to navigate diverse situations seemed to align perfectly with his own aspirations.

The prospect of becoming a Malhotra, enjoying the privileges of his family name, held a significant allure. Moreover, the marriage offered an escape from the embarrassment and humiliation associated with Aliya.

On the flip side, Manik acknowledged potential conflicts with Fab 5, Nandini's occasional outbursts, and the perception that they were scared off by her and Navya. Yet, these cons seemed manageable compared to the prospect of a life with Nandini.

With his mind made up, Manik pondered Nandini's decision. The dialogue between his heart and mind echoed in his thoughts, each argument carefully considered. He knew that whatever Nandini's response, it would shape the course of their lives.

In the midst of this internal struggle, Manik reached a resolution. His heart yearned for Nandini, and the logic of their shared history and compatibility seemed too strong to ignore. As the weight of his decision settled, he awaited Nandini's choice, hopeful that she, too, would see the beauty in their shared past and the potential for a future together.

End of Manik pov......

Manik approached Nandini, his words carrying the weight of a life-altering decision.

M: I am ready to marry whenever you guys want me to.

The declaration sent shockwaves, particularly through Aliya, her stunned expression mirrored by Dhruv standing behind her. The lawyer swiftly secured Manik's signature, leaving a hard copy of the document with Raj Malhotra. As Neyonika exited without causing a scene, Dhruv escorted the overwhelmed Aliya to the sick bay.

The room emptied gradually, but when Nandini tried to leave, Manik halted her with a firm grip on her hand.

M: Nandini, I need to talk.

N: What is there to talk about?

M: Why are you and Navya angry with me? Who are those boys glaring at me?

N: Why ask me with anger that startled Manik? You chose Fab 5 over your own family. You've given our rights and place to them. Where were you when we needed you the most, Manik? We despise all the Fab 5 members.

M: You hate Fab 5, but why? I know I wasn't there when you guys needed me most. But what did Fab 5 do?

N: Let me explain. Do you know those boys who came today?
