Hey everyone. I hope everyone is doing well. First of all, I just wanted to say a big thank you for all the people who have taken time to read and send me notes on how they're liking the book. I'm very very very humbled by your responses. Thank you so much.
Another thing, you must have noticed the name of the book has been changed to 'Reality Ever After'. I thought this was a much better title compared to the last one but let me know your thoughts on it as well.
Here's another part. I hope you guys enjoy it.

The rest of the weekend passed uneventfully for FAB5. All of their friends had retired to their own houses late Saturday night to get some well-deserved rest. Nandini had also come back home as she wanted Manik and his Dad to spend some more time with each other before his Dad left to go back to Pune the next day. As for the album,it was received very well by the public and all of FAB5 were expecting at least a couple of offers from most of the top music labels of the country. The social media continued to trend Manik and they were not ready to give up. Manik's phone wouldn't stop ringing the past couple of days with all the music labels calling him for a meeting. He was super happy and thrilled with the response they had received.
On a bright Monday morning, he reached college where he could meet his friends and discuss what needed to be done next. He entered their jam room to find everyone in a not so happy mood.
Manik - Guys. What's up? Aise mooh phulaakar kyu baithe ho?
Cabir - Mooh phulaakar na baithe toh kaise baithe? Hum ne itna accha launch mila and nobody big wants to sign us. 2 din ho gaye. We've only heard from all tier 2 music labels and they don't seem to want to even pay us.
Alya - Haan. They're saying we are very new and they'll only pay us if the album is successful.
Manik - Really? Mujhe kal se 5 music labels se phone aaya tha. All of them want a meeting with us.
Mukti - What? Are you serious?
Manik - Haan. I thought tum logon ko bhi aaya hoga.
Dhruv - Nahi. Humein toh koi call nahi aaya.
Cabir - Tu shayad band lead hai na. Isiliye aaya hoga. But anyway, I'm so glad they want a meeting. Kab hai meeting?
Manik - I told them I'll let them know later. I wanted to know Tum log kab free ho?
Mukti - Yeh opportunity ke liye toh hum humesha free hai. Call them and tell them we're okay to meet them
today itself.
Manik - Okay okay. Relax. Main abhi phone karta hoon.
Alya - Put it on speaker.
Manik called 'Paramount' music labels' manager who had reached out to him first.
Manik - Hello. Mr. Singh?
Mr. Singh - Yes?
Manik - Mr. Singh. This is Manik Malhotra. We spoke yesterday?
Mr. Singh - Oh yes yes. How are you?
Manik - I'm fine Sir. Actually Mr. Singh, aapne meeting ke liye bola tha?
Mr. Singh - Of course. Tum aaj dopahar ko aa sakte ho? 2 pm?
Manik - Sure Mr. Singh. Main aur mere band members 2 baje aapke office mein pohoch jayenge.
The rest of the FAB5 members were getting excited by every minute the conversation was progressing.
Mr. Singh - Sorry Manik. Tumhare band ko aane ki kya zaroorat hai? Yeh meeting toh sirf humaare beech hai. Everyone got confused with Mr. Singh's response?
