15 | memories

They all were in two jeeps fab 5 in one and navniyu in one. 

They reached the location which was on the outskirts of Mumbai. The place where fab5 was formed and where it ended. Fab five were in tears. This place had seen them and their bond with each other grow stronger. All hugged each other and navniyu were in tears of happiness seeing their partners happy. The tree house was elavated on a huge banyan tree that gave it support and it was hidden from plain sight. Fab5 knew the location by heart as this was their home for almost a year. 

Fab5: u guys know the story behind this tree house. 

No the trio replied. 

Manik: I'll tell. 

Flashback: 

Manik was in 12th grade and he had been not allowed to write exams as somebody blamed him for cheating. Raj was called to school and insulted. Raj was disappointed and didn't speak to Manik. Manik was upset. He was accused for something he didn't do. He left the house without telling anyone. Then Raj and Niyonika received a call from the principal. 

Principal: hello Mr. Malhotra I called to apologize. The real culprit has been caught. Manik is innocent. 

Raj was upset as well as guilty. He had spoken very rudely with Manik. He went towards Manik's room and found it empty. 

Raj called Kabir and asked about Manik's whereabouts. Kabir knew he had to handle the situation so he lied telling that Manik is with him and is sleeping. Fab 4 then searched for Manik everywhere. They realized that when angry Manik went towards nature. So they moved towards the forest and found him removing his frustration on the trees. They all went and piled up on Manik pulling him into a hug. They looked around and were surprised by how beautiful the area was. 

Alia blurted out randomly: I wish I could live here. 

They all looked at her for a minute then pounced on her. 

Fab4: that’s a genius idea Alia. But what about tree house? 

They looked at each other and started laughing. 

Manik: we’ll come here to practice our skills. They all looked at each other as they thought of what they had in common. Dhruv was humming a tune and the rest stopped thinking and looked at him. 

Manik: that’s it we’ll be a band. A musical band. Dhruv knows base guitar, Kabir knows drums, Alia knows piano; keyboard and Mukti my rockstar you’re the electric guitarist. 

All smiled and That's when they formed fab five- a musical band. They all built this tree house on their own. They saved money and furnished it. They used to leave at night come here and work. They all finished the tree house in two months and visited here often but stopped after an incident. 

Flashback end. 

They all went in to find five beds made on the floor and a heater secured in the corner. There was a small book shelf along with a kitchen which was stocked with the food they carried with them. All the windows covered with brown curtains. The backside of the tree house. The path lead towards a waterfall. They were so mesmerized seeing the waterfall as the beauty was magical. The water so pure. They found a sitting place in the lower part of the tree house. All settled themselves and closed their eyes to take a nap. All girls were sitting in the guys laps. 

After one hour: 

Manan woke up and found others yet asleep and saw the time in phone which showed 5:30A.M. They moved towards the lake and splashed the water on their face which was very cold. Nandini moved towards the kitchen in the treehouse and found it neatly stocked. She quickly prepared ham and cheese sandwiches and with a packet of Doritos went to Manik. Both shared a mug of hot chocolate that was prepared by Manik. 

Nandini: Manik I know that you guys told us only half the story. What actually happened that you guys disbanded fab5. 

Manik: you noticed huh? Well I guess nothings hidden from my beautiful and smart biwi. A year after the tree fight Dhruv had an accident because of me. He was coming to pick me up after my drunk stupor on the night I got to know about my real mother. He.... he got into a crash crash and was in a coma for two days. Alia somewhere blamed me and I did myself as well. We all just drifted apart after that. Till today I regret my decision and blame myself though he is fine now. Nandini just hugged him and said it wasn’t your fault mani and she comforted him making him believe that it wasn’t actually his fault. It was the driver in the other car. After this they finished eating and when  done they moved towards their friends and woke them up. They all had the ham and cheese sandwiches along with a cup of hot chocolate and all moved out towards the cars as they had to return back. Manik locked the door of the tree house and threw the keys at Alia who caught them. 

Everyone settled in their vehicles. 

Manan on bike. Mukbhi and kavya in Kabir's car. Dhrulia in Alia's new car. 

At 7 am. 

They reached home and directly landed on their beds as they were tired. The boys side was in murthy mansion and girls side in Malhotra mansion. The guest were staying in the outhouse and close relatives in the mansion. 

Two days later...... 

Today was the reception of mukbhi and dhrulya. They had completed the wedding yesterday and everyone was happy. The reception was in one of the posh hotels of The Dhawans. The arrangements were done and to the fact they even had invited media to announce that three more members of fab 5 were officially hitched.

In the hall: 

the place was decorated. Everyone was there except the star couples attending the guests. There were many people and celebrities. It was a page 3 event. All were decked up. 

While they attended the guests at entrance Manan and Cavya took care of the guests inside and that there was no problem with the paparazzi. 

All were waiting for the star couples when they walked down from the two sides of the stairs.  Dhruv wore a long ink blue sherwani and Alia was in a golden lehenga with a gorgeous smile on her face looking like the doll she was. Mukti wore a red lehenga with golden embroidery work all over. Both had their head covered with matching chunri. Both couples walked down with such grace that all were in awe. 

As they walked down the stairs all clapped, cheered and hooted. Manan were with them near the staircase. Manan and kavya lead them and made them stand on the stage as people came up and wished them a happy wedded life. All took group pictures also. 

As soon as the last guest came up and left Raj announces for the wedding ring ceremony. 

All smiled and mukbhi and Dhrulia exchange their wedding bands and then the cake cutting ceremony began. After the cake ceremony all left to their houses to get the after wedding rituals done that were pending.
