The guy said ''how many times I have told you Sanju that I don't like to celebrate this day, there is nothing special about it''. Why I am not special to you Namit, why you always say there is nothing special about it – Sanju
Namit was looking at her in deep thought and then said sadly It's not that you are not special it's just that I don't feel like there is anything to celebrate on this particular day, you know right my parents separated on this day, although they are not yet divorced but not leaving together as well.
I understand Namit, that's why we are not celebrating this day, I am just wishing you! And I will always just wish you on this day and nothing else is that okay said Sanju making a puppy face. Namit suddenly chuckled and said Okay!

After looking at her the old grandma soften and said beta you are leaving by 10 am why don't you just complete the reaas for today anyways I am not going to be with you after today right? You won't be practicing veena after this. Hearing this Nandini became emotional and said Amma I don't want to go to Mumbai alone, why don't you come with us. Mrs. Dewan chuckled and said you are not going to be alone there dear your Chacha – Chachi will be there with you and you are going to stay with them, and beta you know I can't leave my gurukul, so my baby you go to Mumbai and study hard, achieve what you have dreamt. You are right Amma I have to study hard to show those people that I am capable of taking my Dad's place and I just can't watch those people taking my dad's place – Nandini.

After reaching to Tanmay's place Namit found both Kiara and Madhur is already there sitting and watching something with a smile on their face What are you guys watching? asked Sanju. Oh! This is Tanny's new video which was shot yesterday look he has got 100k views said Kiara astonishingly.
Really, OMG Tan you are amazing – Sanju
I told you this video will reach to new heights – Tanmay
That's great Tanny but be careful if this guy does the police complaint, then you we will get arrested said Madhur with concern in his eyes.
He dares put his foot in police station, he will be thrown out of the college and no other college will admit him said Namit in an angry tone.
Yeah, he himself came to Tan saying my Girlfriend loves me with all her heart, although she was cheating behind his back, we helped him see the true face of this whore – Kiara
After listening to his friends Madhur was in dilemma at some point he was convinced and at some point, he was sceptical about the situation, its just that he doesn't want his friends to be in danger, looking at his face Namit went near Madhur and said Buddy relax I am there why are you worrying so much no one will dare to touch V5, I can't let anyone come near us, and you know right who owns Excel University Niharika Malhotra my so-called Mom. Do you think that she will let anything happen to the reputation of Excel, although she is a bitch, she loves her designation very much she knows very well if any mishap happens to the reputation of the college she would be removed from her position by my Dad.
Exactly so just chill said Kiara putting her hand on Madhur's shoulder. Madhur Smiled and said nothing.
Okay now everything is clear then let us plan for tomorrow said Tanmay and everyone looked at him waiting for him to complete his point. What? Why are you guys looking at me like this? You think I called you guys in the middle of to show the reviews on my videos? asked Tanny. Have you guys forgotten that tomorrow our juniors will join the college? – Tanny
Oh yeah! But then they will be not joining for their regular classes, right? So, what the point of planning from now we don't know whom to target like who could be more entertaining – Kiara
I agree with Kia, until we know who can give us ultimate entertainment, we can't jump over anyone and moreover most of them will be coming with there parents so let us not do anything Infront of their parents – Sanju
Oh God! Who is saying we will start with our pranks tomorrow, we will only choose our target and decide what task to be given to whom and nothing else – Tanny
And for this you called us at middle of night? asked Namit in an irritated tone
Bro so you think that all the entertainment you guys get without any plan? I Tanmay use my brain to the fullest to bully those idiots so that we all can have fun, but this time I am not going to do it alone you all have to help me in this said Tanmay
I am out of this said Madhur raising his hand in denial.
Why? Asked Sanju, Kia & Tanny at the same time.
Its okay guys leave him why to disturb him when he is not comfortable in something, and did you guys forgot that V5 fights with others not in themselves said Namit raising his eyes.
Everyone agreed to what Namit said and did not forced Madhur with anything in which he is not comfortable with, and Madhur also turned deaf and got himself busy with his music, while everyone started talking about the next day.
Dadar Railway Station
Maa, I am so happy that finally, we reached Mumbai safely and sound, I pray that everything goes well from here as well – said the girl while talking on the phone.
Beta don't forget that Mumbai is a big city people will fool you there, so please always be attentive – said the woman on the phone to her daughter
The girl rolled her eyes and said that maa this is the 100th time you are telling me, I am grown up mom please stop nagging me like always, you know right who I am, I am Riddhi Sharma most intelligent student in our town so how can anyone befool me – Riddhi
Fine I won't say anything now don't waste time and go to your hostel and then call me said her mother and disconnected the call.
Riddhi was very much excited to start her new journey in new city, this was the first time she came out of her Hometown Varanasi. She took the help of the coolie to carry her luggage to the taxi and the taxi driver drove towards her hostel.
Diwan Niwas
Chacha – Chachi this house is so beautiful said Nandini, looking at the living area of the house. Yes, I knew you will like this house as it was gifted by your dad on my completion of MBBS said, Dr. Diwan.
You know what nandu this house is so special to me as this was his last gift from my Bhai, this will always remind me of him, like how he always supported me and motivated me said Dr. Diwan feeling sad.
Chachu then you should be happy right that at least you have this house so that you can feel that he is with you all the time said Nandini hugging her uncle.
Oh my god, I don't know why you guys started being emotional, this is a good day Nandini It's your first day at your college just don't become like your Chachu and start shedding tears – said Shalini pouting and coxing Nandini.
After that, all of them hugged and smiled. Why I am left out of this group hug said Rakshit pouting. Everyone broke the hug and looked at the 14-year-old boy standing at the stairs pouting and started laughing. Okay, come here said Nandini. Now I don't want to hug you guys said the guy hugging himself.
Nandini went to him and hugged him forcefully and Rakshit got irritated and said don't you have to go to college?
Yeah Yeah, I forgot Chachi show me my room I will get ready fast, said Nandini holding Shalini's hand.
Shalini took Nandini to show her room while Dr. Diwan went to the kitchen to prepare some food for them.
Excel University
Riddhi was so excited about coming to the college that she has not even seen her hostel properly, she just changed and rushed to the college. Once she reached her college, she was amused to see the infrastructure of the college premises, "OMG I feel like a dream come true, I will participate in all the events conducted by the college so that I can get the student of the year trophy" thought Riddhi.
She started strolling in college campus until she found a huge banner of 5 students holding some musical instruments, she felt she has seen them somewhere but was not able to recall suddenly she saw the name of the band V5 and googled it, after looking at the result she screamed and said "OMG so this the famous V5 which I saw on MTV"
Student around her noticed her screaming and came asking what happened, she looked that them and asked where can I meet these people, I want to be a part of this band I know music I can play few instruments like sitar, Harmonium, Tanpura and santoor.
Those students first looked at Riddhi and then started laughing after hear her words. Riddhi was bit confused and asked why are you laughing? One of the guys said first they are pop singers, so your knowledge of these musical instruments won't help them in any way. Second, they don't give a damn to anyone apart from there own band members so I would suggest you not to try meeting them or else they will make your life living hell.
Riddhi got angry after gearing the guy and said this college is not their dad's property that they will make my living hell.
Well! Its Namit's mom property so yeah, they can do anything so stay as far as possible from them said the guy and went from there.
Are they casually scaring me out of nothing thought Riddhi and glanced one last time to the banner and went from there.
After walking for sometime, she got tired and sat on the bench in the corridor of the lecture halls and started recalling to the words which the guy said few minutes ago, are they really so dangerous what to do shall I ask someone else or shall I just ignore it and let it be, but whom to ask I don't know anyone here she thought.
Suddenly a girl asked her can you tell me the way to the auditorium where the orientation for 1st year students is going on? Riddhi looked at the girl and suddenly stood and screamed OMG yes Orientation I totally forgot about it, the girl got confused looking at Riddhi reacting so strange,
Riddhi noticed the change in the expression of the girl and then explained "Actually I am also a new student here, like from 1st year so even I have the orientation and I totally forgot about in the excitement, I don't know the way to the Auditorium let's go together we will ask someone the way"
The girl nodded and extended her hand saying Hi I am Nandini Diwan, Riddhi shook hand and introduced herself.
Now finally I know someone, actually right now I was thinking I don't know anyone here and see god has introduced you to me. – Riddhi
Nandini smiled and said let's go or else we will be late
Oh yeah see again I forgot said Riddhi slapping her forehead.
Both of them went from there searching the Auditorium.
IN THE CAR
Tanny can you tell me how can we help you, asked kia
Patience baby patience, even I don't know what to do and how to do we just need to observe them and set our target that's it – Tanny
Kia rolled her eyes and looked at Sanju and said babe do you feel like smashing someone, if you do so just smash this Tanny's face for me.
Ok guys relax no need to break your head we will get our target for next few months just by observing them – Namit
Yes, this is what I am trying to say just see who could be our puppet for next few months – Tanny
Namit parked his car in the parking lot of the university and said to his friends ok now get down, we will wait in the canteen for them to come after there orientation.
All of them went straight to the canteen and placed their respective orders, and started doing their own work.
