To Hook A Star

Companion

The journey of life is hard to go through but the journey became beautiful and memorable if we have a companion. we always need a companion in our life no one loves to be alone and this companion can be your parents with whom you enjoy the childhood phase or the first phase of your life and maybe your friends whom you love to spend most of the time or maybe your life partner.

If someone asks me is it necessary to have a companion? can't we enjoy the journey alone? and my answer will be yes we always need a companion every moment may be in the form of parents, friends, relatives, acquaintances, or may in the form of someone else. You need someone who can ask you at the end of the that 'how was your day?' ' Are you tired?' someone how will keep a check on your meals, with whom you can share all the day happens. and talking about enjoying life alone, you can enjoy but it is not any short journey it's very long after a moment you surely need someone to talk, to laugh with or maybe one to fight with.

Having your life partner as your companion make this journey more beautiful you know that someone is waiting for you at home, there is someone whom you can call your home, with whom you can share everything without the hesitation of being judged, you know there is someone who will be your side no matters what. Who stands beside you and completes you.

MANIK

He was always in a bad boy image in front of the world who has lots of attitude with him but for his close one he was always a caring person but only a few knows he empty from inside. He has loving parents but they were most of the used to busy in their office, business meets and more related stuff they never let him feel any absence of anything all the luxury was provided to him from childhood but the thing that he wanted was his parents little more time and attention that he didn't get but he never complained.

To fill the hollowness he made friends he didn't talk much with everyone from starting because he knows who genuinely wanted to be with him or is just because of money and status they are with him. then he got fab5 another family in the form of friends the things common between them they also crave for unknown feelings like him and MUSIC bind them together with a bond which is unbreakable. Now they are an important part of his life whom he laughs at like anything, all secrets are shared as fab5 states one for all for one.

But as said everything changes with time NO there was nothing changed in their bond it is the same as before or may become stronger but there is some addition in their life they find their partners so now it's not alone fab5 now there is a life beyond fab5. But for Manik still, it's the same.

He was sitting on one of the couches in the fab5 office with others after doing jamming for continuous 2 hours for a break and he was just noticing his friends who were sitting with their better halves and enjoying themselves in their own world he was just noticing how much changes are there in his friends and all changes are for their own good

Dhruv and Aliya were always the same the lovey-dovey couple with their baby talks but their maturity regarding their relationship is something that he never thought he will see, the ever makeup queen who doesn't even use to enter the kitchen learn cooking only for Dhruv and he was always a mature and shy guy who is now actively shown doing PDA.his trance broke by Kabir

"Manikk" Kabir called him or say shouted 

"kya h cabirr why are you shouting" Manik replied being irritated

"arre yrr tujhe itni der se bula rahe h "mukti said

"arre kisi ke khyalon me khoya hoga" navya Kabir's girlfriend said

"ha ha joke tha Madhubala ji" Manik said sarcastically

"ab rakshas ko joke kb se smjh aane lge" navya replied to him

" ab tumhe sach me meri rakshas wali side dekhni h" he asked raising his eyebrows

to which she nodded no and kept silent who in the world wants to see Manik Malhotra's monstrous side

and they again get busy in bickering teasing they were laughing and enjoying together their time in between he notices that Abhi said something in Mukti's ear and she was blushing he anyone would come and say this same thing that you will see the lady beam blushing one day definitely he would have died out of laughing of course at that time who can say that the lady bheem whom people have doubt that she even know the meaning of words shy and blush but time as definitely change but for others, she is same lady bheem and making her blush is only done by Abhi her companion for life.

and coming to the joker of the group Cabir who can say that the all-time prankster will one day pranked by someone Kabir who all time c***k pj's is hell serious when it comes to navya. they were definitely a unique couple always on each other neck fighting and bickering at every moment still so connected to each other one is a joker and the other is Madhubala for him.

Seeing his friend sitting with their partners and having time of their life made him remember his conversation with her mom 2 days back

FLASHBACK

Manik came home late at night all tired and exhausted because of continuous work in an office and then jamming with fab5 as the date for album launch was coming near. he was directly heading towards stairs but stop listening to her mom's voice he turn and see her sitting on the couch so he walked towards her and laid down on couch putting a head on her lap she started caressing his hairs and a sigh left from his mouth.

"mom why are awake till late you should have slept, "he said his eyes were still close

"I was waiting for you how late you came home Manik and look how tired you are looking," she said in a worried tone

"nothing mom just there was some important work in an office and then album launch is there in few days so "he explained to her or say tried to explain her

"hogaya I know you had kept yourself busy in office work and your all friends left office on time but you were there only to avoid coming into this empty mansion I know you miss us Manik but we are also helpless"Manik was silently listening to her he knows he can't hide anything from his mother and she was right he avoids came here early or he came only for sleep because he doesn't like eating here alone this emptiness came to eats him.

"Why don't you get settled now Manik," she asked

"I am all settled mom I am doing good in business and music career is also" he tried to explain but cut his talks in between

"Manik you very well know what I am talking about don't divert topic now your all friends are well settled now you should also think once about this" she tried to explain him but he didn't say anything to which she further asked

"acha you have any girlfriend you" he immediately answered her in no "no mom"

"Manik if you want I can look for girls for a marriage proposal. you tell me your expectation from your partner"

"mom I "

"Manik just answer now"

he sighs and said"mom I don't anyone who is behind for money, status or fame and respect and love my family including fab5 like her own that's it "

"hnn I will find my bahu now" she exclaims loudly which make him chuckle 

"it's hard to find someone like this mom"

"Nothing is impossible for Neyonika Malhotra don't you know" her dramatic answer made him laugh

"and if I find someone good you will look for it ok" to which he nodded later after talking for some time they wished good night to each other and calls it a night.

FLASHBACK ENDs

After that, his mom showed him some photos of girls but later she herself don't approve of them which made him chuckle.

Later he bid bye to fab5 and move towards his mansion and reached there to see darkness all around indicating his parents have already slept. In the morning he said no to his mom not to wait for him as he may get late because of practice. But deep down he wants someone who will wait for him no matter how much he says not to. this mansion was looking empty in his eyes he himself doesn't know what he exactly he was looking for.
