You are everything I want

Fab5 and Navni

Manik deleted the picture and he went away without uttering word.

It was embarrassing, what he would think about me though I did not clicked the picture and more than he did not say anything he just deleted and went away. Does he think that I am throwing myself on him? I cannot face him now.

I took some to prepare myself to face embarrassment. To my shock, no one asked anything about the mobile. I wonder what he told everyone. I don't have courage to see his face to speak to him. I avoided him till they all left to their place.

"When will Abi wake up?" Navya asked me.

"Abi means Abimanyu?" Mukti is shocked.

"Yes", I smiled

Abi and Mukti were rat and cat when in their childhood, it all started from me. Abi got less mark in maths and he hided his rank card from his Appa. I found out that and gave to my uncle and Mukti helped in that mission. From there they both used to pull their hair. In addition, Mukti's Tamil is little different and in fact cute but Abi irritates her for her slang. It is evident that Mukti did not forget him from her shock and hope Abi also did not forget Mukti.

Next two weeks I did not heard anything about Manik from Soha as Aryaman and I was forced to work in phase 2 of Dexterity for one month. Initially Harshad informed us to work from Phase 2 for two months but I fought with him and convinced him for one month.

Phase 2 is far away from my flat that I need to travel 30 minutes. Soha and other team except me and Aryaman is working from Phase 1. Now Soha is filling Navya with greatness story of Manik Malhotra.

In this past two weeks Cabir and my bond grew gradually and same as Manik and Navya's. I wonder what these irritating people will communicate that I find both these people talking through mobile once in two days. When I complaint to Navya she complaint that Cabir and I spent a lot time than Manik and her. She also informed that she felt a brotherly feeling towards Manik.

I realize that Abi is only one who is left alone not that he don't have any friends, he just joined the hospital and he has some friends in the hospital but they were from North and he can't communicate in Hindi. He chooses this Hospital in Pune only for me as he would selected some other good hospital in Tamil Nadu also. I need to properly introduce him to my office colleges and Fab 5 as Cabir have already asked me bring Abi to Alya's birthday party next week and I informed Abi to not to accept his weird shift on that day.

Soha have once mentioned that Fab 5 will not celebrate birthday parties and I am confused that now they are celebrating Alya's Birthday. I asked the same to Cabir and he mentioned that Alya has no parents and she brought by a nanny and her mother's brother. Her parents legally made it clear that all property belongs to Alya after her 21st age and the power of attorney is with Dhruv's father as Alya and Dhruv's family were friends from last three generation. Apart from Fab5 and Dhruv's family, she is close to her uncle who is head of investigation bureau, this is the reason he did not protest to give power of attorney to Dhruv's family as he always occupied with his work. Alya is dearest and youngest member of Fab5 that every other is more concerned about her feelings. I felt sorry for Alya when Cabir said she used cry silently for parent's loss, never mentioned to Fab5, and went under depression. Manik was the first one identifies her state and cured before getting worst.

I slowly started to understand everyone and I am almost envy of their friendship. Not that I don't have any, I have Navya and Abi and both of them is more than enough for me but when heard not only Fab5 is close but also their families. For every function and festival, all the families gather and celebrate and sometimes Alya's uncle also gather along with them. Cabir is so proud of his friendship and family and I can feel from his voice when he told me. It is rare to such unity. But felt that Cabir avoided talking about Manik's parents.

"Abi, where are going" Navya asked seeing Abi packed bags.

"To home" Abi answered taking some more time that his usual. And signed Navya to keep quiet that she don't know Abi is going his mother's aniversery.

Abi's mother, my aunt died when he was 5 and his father refused marry after that and tried to give Abi mother's love also. But he was broken when he heard that Abi cried in school when his teacher asked him, his mother's name to write down in some parents report. My mother came forward to accept him as son and then they shifted home near to our home. Abi never allowed me to attend his mother anniversary as he considers me as his mother. It seems dramatic but I was born on day her mother died and my Amms too say I look like Abi's my mom and our eyes looks similar.

After Abi left, I explained Navya the reason.

"When he will come back?"

"He told he will come two days after, i.e on Sunday night as he have some important duty on Monday early morning"

"Okay, I am leaving bye" I said in hurry that today is Friday and the traffic will so high that I need to leave 15 minutes before than the normal timing.

My mobile ring and the calling number is unknown.

"Hello" I answered the call.

"Hello", I heard his voice, I am in mood to irritate someone.

"Who is this?" I asked.

"Don't act Ms. Nandhini Moorthy, I know you recognised my voice"

Damn does he really have any seventh sense?

"Hello, I think you are not Prime Minster of India to recognize you from your voice"

"I was no mood talk to you," he said with irritation.

"Then you should not have called me Mr. Manik Malhotra"

"For the first time, I accept what you said, but I have no other choice. I just need to know whether Navya and Cabir are speaking..." I cut him with my series of questions before he completes.

"What?"

"What if they are speaking?"

"What is your problem?" I was confused with his question.

"Ms. Express train, I meant if they are speaking in mobile now. I tried calling Cabir and line is busy and then I tried to call Navya and for her also the line is busy."

"Oh, like that?"

"Yes, like that"

"But I don't know"

"What you mean by you don't know"

"Mr Malhotra which part you can't understand, I don't know which means I really don't know whether they are speaking or not as I am not at my flat"

"Oh, like that?"

"Yes, like that" I said in same attitude he told me the same sometime back.

My dress covered my lower part of body is now covered with the mud.
