Chapter 5 Part 4

SPACE ACADEMY ..

Everyone were in practice room...

RA : I guess everything is clear to you. You guy's have 2weeks time. I want 2 song's by next week Thursday as fresher's party is on Saturday. And on that day itself I will see your dance rehearsals.. soo by that time every preparation should be done.. I hope you are not unprofessional. So by this weekend I like to see atleast half of it..

CA : chill sir hojayega...

RA : agar zyada chill karo na cabir tho tum piche rahne lagoge.. soo complete your work then chill.

With that he left...

MA ( frustratedly ) : Where the fuck I landed myself. What he thinks.. music is a creative process, how can he give a time limit and keep a tab on us.. And on top of everything I have to participate in opening act with this Lilliput...

NA ( pissed off ) : ooo hello stop giving this much importance to your self.. And I am not a Lilliput you are a Eiffel tower.. who told you to be soo tall like Eiffel tower..

All chuckled at her statement.. before they start again..

CA ( putting hand on her shoulder ) : Maathe please stop this fighting and concentrate on the work .. What say ??

NA ( smiling ) : okay...

Abhi saw the time and said..

AB : it's almost 1 pm so why don't we eat something and then start practicing and if you agree then we can practice after college in our place or your place what say ??

All nodded there head and went to canteen....

All were mesmerized by looking at it.. all sat on one big table as they have to work together for 2 weeks. All got there order except for one... i.e nandu

So Dhruv asked her curiously..

DH : Nandini why are you not eating .. Aren't you hungry..

NA : No no it's not like that I am hungry but at afternoon I eat my lunch with my mom's hand.. vo kithni bhi busy ho at lunch time she used to come to my school, feed me my lunch and again go back to her work space...

( At the end of it she has tears in her eyes. Soo abhi side hugged her and kissed her on her crown from side.. and he was consoling her. But someone didn't like this i.e manik . He don't know why but he didn't like it. He crunched his eyebrows together and started eating his lunch with passing a glare to them.. this was seen by cabir but he kept numb for this moment.. )

AL : I guess you are close to your parents.. so tell us about you all ...

Nandini nodded and said

NA : I am Nandini Murty.. he is Abhimanyu, he is Aryaman and she is navya... We came from New York as my parents shifted to India. So my mom suggested it's good if we all friends stayed together soo we accepted her and here we are in front of you Guy's..

NAV : So that's our short intro .. tell us about you guys..

MU : I am Mukti Malhotra.. he is Manik Malhotra .. he is Cabir malhotra , she is Aliya saxena and he is Dhruv vedant..

We are know as FAB 5 one for all and all for one.. and even our parents were best friends so we are also friends from childhood..

AR : why you guys always mention your surname.. I mean it's good but you know.. why..

AL : Just to show the power behind it and it makes it easy for us tooo but Why you guy's don't mention it ?

NAV : We don't want to use our parents surname to achieve anything we want to achieve the things and the world should know us as the name not because of the surname..

FAB 5 were impressed with it.. especially Cabirrr..

CA : Guy's hogaya apni interrogation ab kya ham khana khaye.. I am damn hungry..

MU : bhukaad..

All were eating and abhi was feeding nandini because he knows how she is feeling.. but our manik didn't liked it but he also couldn't figure out why he didn't liked it. All were eating silently then suddenly nandu spoke..

NA : Mukti.. I have a small doubt.. you , cabir and that Eiffel tower are cousins or what .. because you referred you 3 as malhotra..

Manik glared at her.. Mukti chuckled at his expression and said..

MU ( smiling ) : Actually we are triplets.. Manik is elder to cabir by 5 seconds and cabir is edler to me by 3 seconds..

NA ( with a wide smile ) : Wow triplets.. it must be fun na like you all can celebrate your birthday at the same day and everything will be special.. and most importantly you can be together all time and even in same class..

She said last line eyeing abhi.. Fab 5 didn't understood her last sentence but chuckled at her behaviour as she acted like a kid .. only arya and navya understood her taunt to abhi but we're numb for the moment..

After done with the lunch all came back to practice room except abhi.. all were waiting for him but 3 people were not actually waiting for him i.e nandu, navya and arya..

After 5 mins abhi enter with a glass of fruit juice.. and directly went towards Nandini.. by seeing this nandink started running to save herself ...

This is not new for Arya and Navya but it is new for FAB 5 as they met them today and they are behaving like this in the 1st day which they actually didn't expected..

After running for almost 15 mins nandu went and hides behind manik, everyone were shocked even manik he himself was shocked as they both were fighting and she hides behind him which he never expected it... After hiding nandu shouted huffing

NA ( irritatedly ): Go away abhi you know I don't like juices that to fruit juices.. you know I even hate dairy products but you always bring milkshake for me atleast chocolate milk shake ho tho okay but you always bring fruit milk shake which is yuckk ... Please not today please I request you.. ayyappa please tell him to go away naa please ayyappa pretty please..

All were awww on her expressions as she was looking cute.. and chuckled at her's and ayyappa 's talk..

AB : Nandu baccha you know this is for your health. Even doctors suggested this papa ko bura lagega na when you again fall ill. This is for your health.. please drink it after that I will but you your favourite ice cream big tub today evening ..

Somewhere manik felt bad as he was calling her with nicknames but he shrugged off that thoughts

NA ( peeked by holding maniks arms with twinkling eyes ) : Sachiiii... Nandini promise you will buy me na ??

AB : Muchii I will buy you but for that you have to drink this..

She ran to him drank it in a go and after that was giving yuckk expressions.. all chuckled at her behaviour and after this they all started to practice dance.. Nandini was still not confident to dance but she didn't showed it and only abhi knows it.. arya and navya were happy seeing her dancing after so long..

They were practicing the dance and at on point all have to lift there partners in this manik lifted her they eyes were locked with each other and placed her down still they didn't broke the eye lock .. but soon they broke it as they listened claps so they moved far from each other and looked at the source.. it was Raghav sir with Harshad..

RA : Guy's it's awesome.. I loved the chemistry between manik and Nandini.. and if you all guy's practice for once or twice then I guess you all will be in the same line.. I am impressed... And he is Harshad he is assisting me.. I am taking a off for this week I will come directly on weekend i.e Saturday to see your progress.. so he is going to keep a tab on you guy's..

Harshad just smirked looking at FAB 5.

DH : sir can't we get any other person..

RA : No Dhruv I trust him soo I have appointed him

MA ( Sternly) : then you are trusting on wrong person sir..

RA ( angryly ): excuse me. I know how to take decisions don't teach me.

AL : we are sorry sir.. he didn't meant that. We are okay with it.

She said this to handle the situation.

Raghav gave a nod to them and went off saying them to disperse as the class is over..

Harshad smirked and said

HA : so you have to report tomorrow here at 9. And I don't like no for an answer..

MA : Harshad .. Harshad .. Harshad .. you think we Fab 5 will follow you in your dreams.. so just forget it..

HA : you have to listen to me manik.. in real on in my dreams..

MU : woh kabhi nahi hoga..

HA : let's see.. by the way who is this pretty lady doing here .. he asked moving towards Nandini..

Nandini rolled her eyes and said

NA : tell me something that I don't know.. I know I am pretty well to answer your 2nd question .. I guess this is a College so people come to this place to learn .. tumhara vision ithna kharab hai.. poor ( innocently )show your eyes to a nice doctor, if you want I can give you my family doctors number.. he will cure your vision..

All chuckled at her statement and fab 5 were that she handled him so nicely.. and specially manik was happy, abhi , Arya and Navya were proud that she handled him so well ..

HA ( gritted his teeth ) : So much attitude huh shorty.. height short hai but attitude ek pillar jissa hai.

We can see invisible smoke from Nandini's ears.. abhi Arya and Navya were ready for everything as they know now no one can spare him.. FAB 5 was curiously looking at her.. to know what will be her next move

NA ( went near him, calmly yet in a seductive way ) : so I am shorty ..... But you know short people are competitive to others in many ways..

He was just looking at smirkingly as he thought she fell for him but what happened next shocked FAB 5 and Harshad was in pain..

NANDINI with her knees kicked her balls. And said

NA : see I told you I may be short but I have more power than you too handle a cheepster like you..

CA ( in shocked state slowly which is audible to only fab 5 ) : bhai manik thu bach gaya.. nahi tho tu waha hotha.. mann gaya aajse height ke bareme kabhi nahi bolunga..

And all other FAB 4 nodded in agreement with him.. manik was scared to death that he just stood there numb and gulped the lump in his throat.... after composing Aliya ran to Harshad who was on floor in pain and said..

AL : Bhai are you okay..

Nandini, abhi, arya and navya were shocked and nandini was in guilty.

NA ( guilty ): I am sorry Aliya I didn't knew that he was your brother.. it's just that if someone comments on my height then it triggers me..

I am really very sorry.

AL : Nandini don't be guilty.. I know you did this for yourself. I understand it. It's bhai mistake he should have not said that..

HA : wow my own sister is supporting her and not me.

With this he jerked Aliya and went away.. and she sat there crying. Dhruv ran to her and took her in his embrace..

AL : look na baby .. he is again angry on me why can't he just see me happy and be happy far away from me..

She was crying continuously.. all felt her pain.. by seeing this nandu couldn't stop her self soo she went to abhi , hugged him and started crying.. all were confused as why she is crying only abhi, arya and Navya knows it but they didn't said anything as they nandini was more important at this time.. they were asking and trying everything to stop her crying but she didn't stop and started sniffing loudly..

By listening to her whales. Aliya stopped and moved to her after wipping her tears.

AL : Nandini why are you crying.. see you didn't do anything wrong..

Nandu spoke hicupping but she didn't broke her hug and abhi was rubbing her back all the time..

NA : it's......... Because .............. Of ..,............. Me .................. I ................ Should ,............... Have ,................not ,........ .............. Done .......

..................... Like .. ................. That.. and again she started sniffing slowy.. and abhi can feel his shirt being wet..

All this while manik was admiring her with a small smile as she was looking too cute . After processing everything what she said ..

AL ( smiling ) : Nandu ..

Nandini slowly peeked from his embrace and looked her cutely..with half open eyes..

AL : I can call you nandu right ??

Nandu nodded her head still being in abhi's embrace..

AL ( smiled at her cute behaviour) : he is wrong, he hurts me deliberately.. he can't see my happiness I don't know the reason.. but some where I got used to it but sometimes I do want my bhai but it's okay because I got Dhruv..

NA ( cutely ) : Is Dhruv your bhai ??

FAB 4 laughed at her statement..

AL ( laughingly ) : OMG nandu you are soo cute like a baby.. and Dhruv is my boyfriend we are in relationship since 7 years..

And again started laughing looking at Dhruv expression..

Dhruv was glaring everyone especially nandu.. Nandu slowly broke the hug and went and hugged Dhruv startling him.. but he too hugged her everyone stopped laughing and looki at them..

After breaking the hug

NA ( holding her ears with a pout cutely ) : Cholly..

Dhruv melted at this but didn't showed it and all were awwww at her..

NA ( again ) : Cholly na bhai..

By this Dhruv have tears in his eyes and hugged her and said it's okay all were happy with the new bond that formed on the 1st day itself..

After this cabir spoke

CA : soo abb ey emotional drama hogaya tho it almost 5 I think we should move to our houses and let's meet at our place around 6:30 so that we can soon complete this opening act and concentrate on our individual band performance..

All were okay with it soo they nodded there head and all exchanged each other numbers and moved to there home..

After reach they all saw that nandini has created a whatsapp group which states Fab 5 with navnirmanabhi ( nandini, navya, aryaman and abhi ) all chuckled by seeing the group name and went to freshen up..
