Next day morning, At Murthy mansion:

Priya: Nandu, wake up, its getting late.

Nandini: Maa, 5 more minutes please.

Priya: No nandu. It's already 7AM.

Nandini woke up with a jerk.

Nandini: what, 7am? Ok maa, I'll be down soon.

She got down from the bed and ran into washroom.

Priya: "ok nandu", saying she made the bed neat and went down.

Nandini came down taking her bag after an hour.
By the time, Abimanyu and dhruv too came down.

Nandini was telling priya about their competitions. She was happily listening.

Priya: I know you guys will perform well. But practice more.

Nandini: Sure maa we will.

Abimanyu and dhruv smiled and nodded.

After breakfast, they left to college.

At Malhotra mansion:

Mukthi: Mom, we are joining in competitions.

Nyonika: what competitions Mukthi?

Mukthi: Talenta mom. In that we fab5 are gonna perform. Then our whole gang is in treasure hunt. And then in ballroom dance, Abimanyu and I, dhruv and aliya, cabir and navya, manik and nandini.

Raj: Wow Mukthi. Best of luck for your competitions.

Nyonika: I know you guys are gonna rock in every competition. Practice well. Convey my wishes to everyone.

Manik, cabir and Mukthi smiled and had breakfast.
After breakfast, they left to college.

At college:

(*Nandini is the representative of their class. Whereas Manik for his class*)

(Principal in intercom)
              A very Good morning to all. Students today onwards you can have your practice sessions. You have two weeks to practice. Then the competitions will begin. So the more you practice, the more you succeed. Now I want the representatives of every class to come to the meeting room with the name lists. Thankyou.

Nandini: "ok guys I'll go to the meeting room.", saying she left

While going she was searching manik.
On the other side, manik was also searching for her.
Finally they met outside the meeting room.

Nandini: Manik, I've been searching you.

Manik: Me too nandu.

Nandini: oh but why.

Manik: Actually nandini, if I say you should not get angry.

Nandini: Tell me first manik.

Manik: "I wrote your name in solo singing.", he said shutting his eyes.

Nandini smiled.

Nandini: "Manik even I did the same. I wrote your name in solo singing.", She said biting her lips.

Manik was shocked.

Manik: Nandini I cant please. Remove my name.

Nandini: "No manik. You should. As a gang, we all know no one can beat fab5. Likewise, you prove everyone that no one can beat you in solo singing too. Please manik for me.", she said being mature but also making a puppy face.

Manik had no choice except agreeing with her.

Manik: ok nandu. But what will I get in return?

Nandini: without thinking a second, "whatever you want".

Manik smiled and said "ok"

Nandini smiled and both went inside the meeting room.

All gathered outside the Auditorium except manik and nandini.

Mukthi: Guys, let's practice. I'm so excited.

Cabir: ok but first we will practice for group song then for dance.

Navya: Yes good idea.

Cabir: You guys practice in your music room. We will practice in the auditorium.

Abimanyu: ok guys. Then we will meet you at the canteen at 11.

All bided and left.
Manik and nandini too joined with their group.

At music room:

Nandini: Guys, I gave my name in solo singing.

Navya: Wow nandu. Even I wanted you to give your name. But I thought you will disagree.

Nandini smiled.

Navya: I'm happy for you. You will win for sure.

Nandini: Thanks navya.

Abimanyu and aryaman said ,"All the best choti" together making nandini and navya laugh.

Nandini: ok come let's practice.

On the side manik told fab5 that he joined in solo singing. All got happy and hugged him.

*One side,
N2A2 are practicing
On the other side,
Fab5 are practicing.
Both were practicing with full concentration.*

Soon it became 11 and all became tired.

At canteen:

Aliya: "Guys I'm drained.", saying she lied on the table.

Mukthi: Me too aliya. Let's be here till the afternoon. Tomorrow we will continue please.

Dhruv: ok. We started practicing after a long. So it's a bit hard.

Cabir: yes no problem. We will continue tomorrow.

Manik came holding a tray of snacks.
N2A2 joined them.
Mukthi: How was your session guys?

Nandini: Good as always Mukthi.

Mukthi: Guys we planned to continue our session tomorrow.

Navya: ok but what are you going to do now?

Mukthi: I dunno but I'm taking a break.

Aryaman: Mukthi, yaar you just practiced for only 2hrs. But you are speaking like you've been practicing for a week.

Mukthi: Its been long since I touched guitar and practiced monkey. So only.

Aryaman: "what monkey? Me?", saying he took a water bottle and chasing her.

Mukthi and aryaman were running around.
All were seeing and laughing at them.

Mukthi: arya please yaar. Dont pour water on me. Please.

Aryaman: Ok then say sorry.

Mukthi: ok. Sorry monkey.

Again she started running and ended up hiding behind manik.

Mukthi: bhai, tell him to go.

Manik: I'm not between you both. Saying he moved away.

Mukthi: bhai, I hate you.

Manik: "seriously Mukthi u hate me", saying he too took one water bottle.

Mukthi knew if she go against manik she will lose for sure. So she surrendered.

Mukthi: sorry bhai. You know na I didnt mean that. And I love you the most.

Manik: "i know Mukthi. Its Just for fun.", saying he sprinkled some water on her face.

Mukthi faked anger and hugged him.

Aryaman: You kiddo, this time I forgive you. If you again call me like that. You will see what i can do.

Mukthi showed her tongue to aryaman. He laughed.

They kept their bags away. Manik saw nandini's bag. He opened it and put chocolate in there. After he was successfully done. He came and sat with everyone. It was noticed by none.

Their spent time together making of each other and left home.
