The next morning...
"Manik, Nandini, mujhe principal Irani ka call aaya tha. Tum dono ki 17 days ki leave approve nahi ho sakti.. As you know, Musicana bhi aa raha hai, in 4 months, and usse pehle teachers ko pura material cover karna hai..um.. I suggest that you'll could go back to college for a week, and then we could come back for the wedding." Nyonika said.
"Ok mom." Nandini said.
"Hmm" Manik said.
"Abhimanyu, mein inn ka kya karoon?" Nyonika told Abhi, who was standing right over there.
"Iss Dil ka kya karoon, mein kya karoon, mein kya karoon, mein kya karoon, mein kya karoon, mein kya karoon, mein kyaa karoon?" Abhi sang.
At college:
"Guys, look, Madhubala akeli baithi hai.. Nandini kahan hai?"
"Don't know.. And don't care..." Alya replied.
"Aur Dhruv toh chup hi rahega.. Now toh I'm seriously missing Manik and specially Cabir." Mukti said. "Vaise, yeh log hai kahan? Prof. Abhimanyu bhi nahi dikh raha!"
"Guys, Manik ka message..." Dhruv said.
They picked up their phones.

End of Fab 5 Chat
While Navya got a message from Nandini..
Nandini:
Navya, I'll reach college tomorrow, I'm with Abhi bhai.
"Hey guys! I'm back!" A guy shouted in the canteen.
Fab 3 and Navya looked up... Harshad Saxena!
"What is he doing over here?" Mukti whispered. Mukti lost her balance and was about to fall when Navya held her.
"Tum thik ho?" Navya asked her.
"Ya, I'm fine.. Thanks!" Mukti replied in a whisper. She was too weak to say anything and ran off to the bathroom.
"Mukti!" Navya called out.
"Navya, leave her.. She'll be fine." Alya said. "Bhaii, aap waapas kyun aaye ho? Kyun mere friends ko humesha target kar te ho?"
"Alya, how are you?" Harshad went forward to hug his sister.
"Stay away Bhaii.. Please.." Alya said and left.
"Alya, meri baat toh suno!" Harshad said, but Alya refused.
"Um.. I am Navya Naveli! And you?" Navya approached Harshad.
"Hi... Harshad Saxena, Alya's brother." Harshad introduced himself.
"I'm sorry Harshad, but I will have to leave." Navya said and left.
"What do you think Mukti? Mein tumhe itni asaani se chhod dunga? .. Nah! Fab 5 will be over! And this is Harshad Saxena's vow to himself!" Harshad thought.
Mangalore:
"Chalo, let's leave." Nyonika said.
"Aunty, do you want to come to the front seat? Matlab, Nandini and Manik.." Cabir said.
"Samajh gayi.. Tu Kab se itna smart ho gaya?" Nyonika said and laughed. Cabir grinned.
Manik and Nandini came, together.
"Match made in heaven.. Dono saath mein aa rahe hain.." Cabir said.
Manik saw that Nyonika was sitting in the front seat, with Cabir. He had no option but to sit with Nandini.
Reluctantly, he did...
