Hey guys….plzz do comment…

Mukti and Alya are seated in library when they see Richard’s ghost friend Nick…

Nick: Hey Mukti… Hi Alya!!

Mukti: Hello buddy… How you doing??

Alya:Hi Nick… Saw you first time after vacations… How’s life going (Nick gives her a look… Alya understands) oh… No no no… I didn’t mean that… I am so sorry… You know we are habitual to ask this… I mean… Where were you these days…?

Nick :Ah… It’s ok… Yeah I have been busy…. BTW… I have a message from boss…

Both the girls together :Richard?? You have a message from Richard for us!!???

Nick nods :Actually… Junior Murthy wants to see you both at Quidditch stadium now…he has something important to talk…

Alya: Abhi or Nandini or Navya??

Nick: The one who roams with you…

Mukti: Oh ok… Thanks buddy… And good to see you…

Nick nods and floats away…

Mukti: I hope everything is fine… Why is Abhi calling us at the stadium? I mean we usually meet there when we want to talk about something which no one else should listen…

Aly: I know… I am also thinking about that… Let’s go there… But what about Manik and Cabir’s problem?? Oh ya…he can help us out… he has given solutions to many of our problems..

Mukti:Aloo, half of the solutions were suggested by Nandini!! The ones which I used to enjoy a lot!!

Alya:God!!! She is so your carbon copy and Cabir’s female version… But let us go now… And see what has happened that this meeting is held…

Mukti nods and they both rush for the stadium…

Navya, Cabir ,Nandini and Manik come out of Nyonika’s cabin… All are engrossed in thoughts… Cabir breaks the silance…

Cabir: Isn’t it amazing?? Your wands are so same!!! Just 0.05 inches difference is there… Didn’t you guys knew it??

MaNan look at each other and shake their heads…

Nandini: I remember… When we went to Wandatorium with Dad, this was the only one of its kind… The rest two was sold…

Manik: Ya… I bought one of them… But we didn’t pay any money… This wand seemed special… It attracted me and when I held it,it accepted me…

Cabir:You both didn’t paid for this wand!!! (Cabir thinks) Do you know what it means?? This wand is actually special… It was Free of Cost still no one could buy it… It chose you as it’s master… It means even you guys are special…

MaNan look at each other and then at their wand…

Nandini is about to say something when Richard comes…

Richard :Boss…

Nandini: Richard!! How are you buddy?

Richard :I missed you both… Now you are finally here… We will rock the college…

He sees towards Navya and blushes…while Navya forces a smile.. Manik and Cabir looks at them shocked…

Nandini: Yes Richard we will… BTW,meet my friends Cabir and (she looks at Manik unsure) Well… He isn’t friend but meet Manik… Mukti’s Younger brothers…

Richard : Hi both of you… (They both greet him back) BTW, Nandini… I have a message for you all… Abhi has called you all to the Quidditch stadium…he waiting there with Dhruv, Mukti and Alya… Go fast…he was really worried… and Navya you as well…

Nandini teases him…while Manik and Cabir looks on clueless…
Richard floats off from there blushing… Navya gives a glare to Nandini and makes an irritated face…

Cabir:Why is Abhi calling us there…

Nandini: That you will find out after we will reach there… But just know that it’s related to our forms…

Navya: Let’s go then…

All three nod and head towards the Quidditch stadium….

Abhi and Dhruv are waiting for them in one of the stands… They both come there…

Alya: What happened Dhruv?? All ok?

Abhi: No… I wanted to tell you something related to Nandini and Manik—

Alya (interrupting) :It’s ok Dhruv… Even I was hyper when I listened it… But you need to take that coolly… So what if we have not kissed being in relationship for six months and Nandini and Manik did just in their first meet… You should know that it wasn’t out of love…

Dhruv: What!!! Nandini kissed Manik!!!

Mukti facepalms…

Alya: Hey!! Was I not supposed to say that!!???

Abhi: Don’t change the topic Alya… Tell me… Did they kissed each other?? Mukti???

Muktu:Twice…

Dhruv: Twice!!! How on Earth that even happened!!! Whole college knows about their first meet!!

Alya:I can explain…

Mukti: You better should… Coz I can hear the tick tock of a time bomb…

Abhi, Dhruv and Alya glare her to be quite… Alya tells them whatever happened between MaNan… Abhi’s and Dhruv’s eyes gets wider as they goes into detail…

Abhi: Is that even a revenge??

Dhruv: I know… It’s hot right?

Abhi: What were our siblings thinking???

MaNan and Cavya enter just then…

Nandini: Regarding???

Abhi: What were you both thinking when you kissed…??

Mukti: Twice!!

Navya(shocked): You both kissed??

Dhruv: That too twice!!

Nandini (turning to Manik): You told them!!! How could you??

Manik (turning to Mukti and Alya) “You told them!!! How could you??

Nandini: Oh don’t copy me!! You were the one to tell your sisters and brother..!!

Manik: I didn’t!!! Cabir just got to know it!!

Nandini thinks :Oh no!! Was that guy Cabir!! Can he read minds?? No… He can’t be that guy… I can’t do wrong with Navya… No Aiyyappa plz… Not Cabir… Not Cabir… (To Manik) why?? Can he read minds??

Abhi, Dhruv and Navya glance at Cabir at once for they understood that what Nandini meant…

Cabir: What!!! No!!!

All the four relax…

Nandini: That means you told him!!

Manik: No I didn’t… He can see someone’s past or future if he concentrates on something or someone…

Navya: Wow… You never told me!! I mean us…

Cabir smiles sheepishly and rubs his nape…

Nandini: That means I am the luckiest one to know it as soon as I know him… There you go buddy…

She does high five with Cabir…

Mukti: Ohk… Shall we concentrate on the matter now? Abhi why you called us here and what were you telling about Nandini and Manik if it was not about their kiss??

Abhi: Oh ya… You know we all are in such a big problem… Our admission forms are missing!!

Alya: No… Only Manik’s and Cabir’s are missing…

Navya: Wait… That means you knew about Manik’s and Cabir’s forms being missing… Well for you information,even ours are missing…

Alya: You mean Your’s and Nandini’s??

Nandini: No.. she means all of us…

Manik: Yeah… But tell me how do you know about forms… You promised to tell that afterwards.. well this is the afterwards…

Nandini: See… We had some important works (Navya and Abhi glares her) Ok I had some important work and for that I had to see the forms… So we sneaked on into VP Malhotra’s cabin and copied the forms… Of our batch , bhai’s batch and a year senior to that…

Alya: What!! You sneaked into Nyonika Mom’s cabin!! Girl!! How did you managed to??Nandini smiles proudly…

Dhruv: Stop freaking out!! Manik,how did you knew about the missing forms?

Manik: Oh… I saw them with Mom at night and out of curiosity checked that…

Nandini: Such a lier you are!! You sneaked into the cabin the same night when I did… Infact I was there when you entered..!!

Manik turns red :Ok fine!! I did… I wanted to find something out… Hey!! You were there!! Then why didn’t the revealing spell showed you??

Nandini: Coz I use my brains unlike you… Taking the chance,I sneaked out of the cabin before you could cast your spell!!

They then tell each other about how they got the forms copied and how it got stolen without telling them their real motive…

Mukti: Wait a second… We are forgetting something… Hey… What happened in the registration… Our forms are stolen right?? You guys didn’t registered?

Nandini: Well… Unexpected happened Mukti…

Mukti, Abhi, Dhruv and Alya are clueless… Navya just then remembers something…

Abhi: What do you mean Nandu?

Cabir: Abhi ,when we went there for registration,our forms were there with Mom… I don’t know how… But something is fishy…

Abhi: Exactly… First our forms are missing,then our forms’ copies goes missing and then when you guys go in there, the forms are there with VP Malhotra..!!

Alya:I don’t understand when the forms were already there,then how come we didn’t saw them!! There’s definitely something fishy…

Cabir notices Navya lost in thoughts and being quiet thinking something…

Cabir: Navya… You are quite??

Navya(in a low serious tone) :Guys… We are in a mess… (All of them look at her seriously) I wanted to tell that to Nandu, Manik and Cabir as soon as I saw it but then many things happened and I completely forgot… When again the forms discussion started here, I recalled something I saw in VP Malhotra’s cabin… Which definitely is a problem for us…

Cabir: Navya… Don’t play with words and complicate things more… Just say it at once…

Navya nods :Nandu… Do you remember what I said about my skills to you when we first identified it…??

Nandini nods (she recalls and repeats it for her) :I remember,you said that you have got special eyes and can see everything… Everything means the visible ones as well as the invisible ones… The fastest ones at a very slow rate and the slowest ones at fast speed…. The biggest object as well as the smallest ones…. The far objects as well as the near ones… Nothing can be hidden from your eyes… Ya… I remember that…

Navya: Nandu and bhai ,I saw the form copies on VP Malhotra’s table…

All get shocked…

Manik: What!! No…!! I remember,there was nothing on that table except for our wands and Ms. Mew’s house…!!

Nandini: Are you dumb!! Didn’t you get what I said about Navya just now??

Manik realizes and gasps… So does everyone…

Cabir: Guys… This is true and this as well that we are in a very big mess now… Now before we fall into another one, I think we should return to college… It’s been quite a time while we are here…

All nod and turn to go when Nandini stumbles and is about to fall…
Manik calls her out of concern and holds her by waist to prevent her from falling down… He looks at her innocent face intensely… Nandini has eyes closed out of fear and she is clutching his collar tightly… All turn to look at them but are amazed at the sight….

Cabir and Mukti smirk :Ahem Ahem!!

Manik stops looking at Nandini and looks here and there as he blushes… Nandini opens her eyes and finds herself in Manik’s arms… She feels awkward and stands straight… She looks here and there…

Others suppress their smile :It’s ok Manik and Nandini… It happens… Thank you Manik you saved Nandini…

Nandini going all red: Yeah thanks…

She says and walks off from there in speed… As she goes, Manik gets her imported sandalwood smell… He inhales it deeply and looks at her going in thoughts…
