Manik: right!

Alia: but manik why didn't you tell us about this fake relationship drama of yours?

Manik: because I wanted you all to believe it

Dhruv: what? Buddy tu ye kya bol raha hai?

Manik: vo I thought ki agar tum logo ko....as in fab 5 ko yeh believe ho jaye ki I have a girlfriend toh the rest of the college and even soha will believe it and that actually happened but then it got all messed up😣

He said running his fingers in his hair frustratingly.

Mukti was still standing there silent, trying to digest the things manik just spoke when Abhi called her out.

Abhi: mukti?

Manik: choti look I'm really sorry but please trust me......nandini is nowhere at fault here...it.....it was all my plan and she was just doing what I told her to do

Mukti*expressionless face*: Abhi will you drop me home?

Abhi: but.....

Mukti: please!

Abhi*sighs*: fine

Manik: choti....

Mukti: I need time....please

She said with a blank face and all manik could do was agree to her and accept her plead. He was helpless.

Manik: sure

Mukti: Abhi let's go

Abhi: yeah come

They left.

Alia: manik don't worry....I know her....she'll be fine and will surely understand that it wasn't nandini's fault...ya?

Dhruv: ha buddy tu chill kar vaise bhi kal nandini aa rahi hai

Cabir: ha manik tu tension na le.....when Cabir is here....have no fear😎

Cabir said to lighten up their moods and manik smiled a bit.

Mukti was sitting silently in the car and gazing out of the window, deep in her thoughts, recalling all that had happened in these few days. How she had accused nandini.....how restless and sad manik was when nandini was away from him....manik and nandini's fake relationship and lastly manik's lame idea of bringing her close to Abhi. She was so busy in thinking that she did not notice when Abhi stopped the car and was staring at her. It was only when he held her hand that she snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Abhi.

Mukti: kya hua? Why did you stop the car?

Abhi: because I lost something very precious...will you help me in finding it?

Mukti made a confused face and asked: what are you searching for?

Abhi: my mukti's smile😃.....the most precious thing for me

He said with a smile and mukti smiled faintly.

Abhi: uh-uh this isn't my smile....wait let me help you

Mukti cringed her brows in confusion having no idea about abhi's next move when....

Mukti: hahahaha......abhi.....s-stoppp...hahahaha...abhii

Abhi was tickling mukti which made her smile to the fullest. Mukti was pleading Abhi to stop in between her giggles but he was adamant. Finally when he was satisfied, he stopped and they shared a cute eyelock.

Abhi*smiling contently* : always keep smiling like this.....those frowns don't suite you.

Mukti: thank you

Abhi: acha toh ab tum mujhe thank you bologi😤

He said faking anger.

Mukti*biting her tongue*: oops

Abhi: mukti....don't think too much....I trust you, you'll take the right decision.

Mukti just smiled in response. Abhi tightened his grip on her hand and started the car again to drop mukti home.
