PROLOGUE

An 11 year old sweet pampered girl who was blessed with everything. Her parents loved her the most and treated her like a princess. She was happy in her own bubble with her family and friends. But a dark night rose and fate changed everything. All Nandini could see was the sight of her parent dying in front of her but she couldn't do anything, his baby brother suffering badly. She was drenched with blood but all she cared about was her family. She tried to reach her parents but suddenly she fainted. After that incident she could only remember the sight of her parents dying in front of her. Nandini woke up with a jerk and she found herself lying on a bed with many machines and tubes around her. Doctor came towards her and asked," So finally you are awake. How are you feeling Nandini?" Nandini put her hand on her head and after a long pause she asked," Nandini? Kon nandini?" Who am I? Mai kaha hu?" Saying that everyone around her were shocked would be an understatement. Rishab was crying and he came towards Nandini and hugged her. Nandini was confused and she jerked him away. Nandini was staring at rishab as if trying to remember him and she fainted again. Rishab started crying and doctor told everyone to go out. After some time the doctor informed that Nandini has lost her memory. Everyone was shocked. After some time Nandini woke up and everyone came inside. Nandini looked at them all confused. She didn't find any familiar face and then she looked at Rishab and called her. Rishab was very happy and he hugged her. The doctor came and asked her," How are you? Do you remember anything?" Nandini replied," Maa, Appa, Rish..Ri..Rishab." After sometime the doctor informed that she remembers only the accident and no one should ever try to talk to her about her past. The doctor also informed that she might recall memories but if anyone else tries to talk about her past it won't be good for her.

On the other hand, an 11 year old boy was lying on a hospital bed unconscious. He woke up with a jerk and screamed,"Dhruv". He was none other than Manik. Manik looked around himself and was totally confused. He started remembering what had happened last night" Manik and Dhruv were playing on the back seat of a car and suddenly they met with an accident. Dhruv's head was majorly injured but Manik was helpless" He started crying when the doctor came in and said," So how are you feeling?" Manik replied" Dhruv kaha hai? Wojh theek to hai na?" He was informed that Dhruv is fine but he is suffering from an unknown disorder which can't be curred easily. Manik was shocked and he started blaming himself.

After 5 long years, everything was fine but the memories always hit them hard. Nandini Murthy lived in Mangalore with her grand mom and developed interest in music and dance. At first she hated her grand mom because she was the one who informed her about her parent's death but slowly she started accepting the fact and grew up as a strong girl. On the other hand Manik Malhotra who was deprived of love grew up as a rude arrogant monster. His friends were his life. Music was his first love, his passion, his everything.

Nandini grew up as strong girl with high ambitions. She wanted to follow her dream of becoming a singer but she was also interested in management field so she decided to join a good reputed school which was none other than her dream school warrior high. She wanted her brother to speak again and and be normal so she decided to take him to Mumbai where he could live with Chacha- Chachi and she could regularly visit him.

"Amms I will miss you so much. I love you. Please take care of yourself. Bye" Said Nandini hugging her grand mom and got inside the bus carrying her jar of fireflies with her. She was having fun with Rishab and Chacha chachi and after some time she slept. She woke up with a jerk as she realized that something hit the bus and everyone got out of the bus. She saw a black jeep and she turned around with a frown. She was holding her jar of fireflies and said," Oh shit. Ab kya hoga? Mumbai ja rahi hu and." Suddenly someone bumped into her and her jar was about to fall. She got sacred and saw a tall guy holding her jar of fireflies and she smiled. The guy stood up and gave the jar back to her and their hands touched and at the same time her fireflies started to shine. She starts smiling and was about to thank him but he started walking. She saw that he was very tall and was carrying a guitar with him. He joined 4 other people wearing similar black outfits. She kept staring at them until they were out of her sight.

She reached Mumbai late at night. She was tired and went to her room thinking about her day and that guy. Thinking about what had happened and about that guy she fell asleep with a smile on her face.

IT WAS A NEW BEGINNING FOR HER.

SHE WAS NOT CONTENDED WITH HER LIFE SO WASN'T MANIK.

LITTLE DID THEY KNOW DESTINY HAS SOMETHING PLANNED FOR THEM!

SHE BELIEVED IN LOVE BUT HE DIDN'T.

SHE WAS SWEET HE WAS ARROGANT.

THEY WERE POLES APART.

BUT THEY SAY," OPPOSITES ATTRACT."

LET'S SEE HOW THESE TWO SOULS FALL IN LOVE.

CHAPTER ONE

"NANDINI NANDINI! Utho beta. Nai to tumhari train miss hojayegi. Yad hai na aaj warrior high jana hai tumhe." Nandini heard her chachi screaming from downstairs. She gets up with a jerk and sits on the edge of the bed and holds her forehead and says to herself" Arghh. Not again. Firse wahi sapna. Mujhe kuch yad kyu nahi aa raha hai ki wo dono kon the. I know they both were very close to me. But why? Why Aiyappaa? Why can't I remember anything? After that accident mujhe kuch bhi achese yad nahi hai. I lost my parents, rishab's voice. Wasn't that enough? I also lost my memory." She started weeping silently. Suddenly she saw her chachi in front of her ready with her super lunch box and she says" Arey nandu tu abhi tak tayaar nahi hui?" Nandini says" Chachi wo." But Chachi interrupts and says"Arey meri nandu ko kya hua? Ro kyu rahi hai ?Ye mat bolna ki firse wahi sapna aaya aur tu uske bare me sochne baith gayi !" Nandini plasters a fake smile on her face and says" Chachi yeh sab chodo na. Mai ready hoke aati hu." Saying this she goes to the washroom to get ready.

After some time, Nandini with her luggage left for the station with her family. She was scared and also excited. Nandini said to herself," Aiyappaa please help me. I am so scared. I don't know what is going to happen with me. I hope no one bullies me there." She was brought out of the trance when she heard the bell which indicated that the train is going to start. She hugged Rishab, Chacha and Chachi and entered the train. She could see all the students of warrior high. She went inside looking for her seat. After some time 3 men came and took the luggage of all the students with him. She sat beside the window thinking about her life. How everything changed that day? She was about to cry but her thoughts were disturbed by some noise. She stood up and looked around and she saw 5 students coming towards her. Everyone else was making way for them as if they were superiors. They were none other than fab5. Nandini came and sat beside her window. Suddenly some patted her shoulder and turned around to look at them.

Nandini: Can I help you?

Mukti: Yes. Get out from here. This is our place.

Nandini: I am sorry. But this seat has been allotted to me. You can sit somewhere else.

Cabir: Lagta hai nayi hai. Isey dikhana hoga ki hum sab kon h.

After some time, Manik, Aliya and Dhruv also joined them. Dhruv and Manik placed their guitars on the adjacent seat and joined Cabir and Mukti. Nandini's eyes widened seeing those guitars. She saw the same guitar with that guy. She was brought out of the trance when Manik held her hand and was dragging her.

Nandini: What the hell? What are you doing you tall guy? Who are you?

Manik: I am Manik. Manik Malhotra.

Nandini: Manik Makhotra. I have heard this name before.

Manik: Obviously suna hoga. Agar tumhara drama khatam hogaya ho to niklo yaha se.

Nandini: Mai kahi nahi jaungi. Tum apne aap ko samjhte kya ho?

Manik: Just get out. I said.

Hearing his voice everyone gathered around. She was scared. Just then a girl came and apologized to them and dragged Nandini with her. Nandini was shocked. She couldn't digest the fact that anyone didn't help her. They were just looking at them silently.

Nandini: What the hell? What are you doing? Who are you? Mujhe kyu le ja rahi ho yaha se?

The girl: tumhe pata bhi hai tum kis se panga le rahi ho. Ye log fab5 hai. Unke samne kisi ki nahi chalti. Please unse durr rehna.

Nandini: What?

The girl: Han. Wo log bohot bure hai. Wo jo sabse lamba hai wo Manik Malhotra hai. Unka leader. Wo do ladkiya hai Mukti and Aliya. Aur wo dusra ladka jo tumse bat kar raha tha wo hai Cabir. And wo jisne cap pehni hai wo hai Dhruv. Wo sabse acha hai unke group me.

Nandini: Mai nahi darti kisise. Meri seat waha hai and I will go and sit there.

The girl: Please suno humari bat. Mera nam Navya hai. Unhone mujhe bhi bohot torture kiya hai. Mujhe unka group join karna tha. To unhone hume fasaya, Achese bat ki and badme hume dustbin me band kar diya.

Nandini: What? Aisa kaise kar sakte hai wo log?

Navya: daro mat. Bas unse durr raho. To tumhe kuch nahi hoga.

Nandini: Okay. Btw I am Nandini Murthy.

Navya: Tum humari sabse pehli friend ho yaha.

Nandini smiled. Meanwhile, fab5 were having fun. Aliya has always loved Manik so she doesn't leave a chance to impress Manik. So she went near Manik.

Aliya: Hi baby. Tumhara mood kyu itna kharab hai?

Manik: Please Aliya not now. Just go away.

Aliya: Manik. Please. Why don't you understand? I love.

Manik interrupted: Aliya. Please just stop it. We are best friends. Nothing else. Do you get that? Please don't spoil our friendship.

Aliya was sad with this behavior of Manik and walked out from there.

Mukti: Manik tune ye kya kar diya?

Manik: Mukti maine kya kiya hai? I have no such feelings for her. Why doesn't she understand?

Dhruv: Buddy. We know that. But please don't be so rude with her.

Manik: Hmm.

Dhruv also got up and went near Aliya to console her. She was standing near the door of train.

Dhruv: Aliya. Please stop crying.

Aliya: Dhruv please go.

Dhruv goes near and Aliya and gives her a side hug

Dhruv: Please don't cry. Tum rote hue bilkul achi nahi lagti.

Aliya was so sad that she hugged dhruv .

Aliya: Dhruv. Tum humesha mere sath hote h jab bhi mujhe tumhari zarurat hoti hai. You are such a good friend.

Dhruv smiled and hugged her back.

Dhruv: Friend nahi best friend.

This brought a smile on Aliya's face and they both went back to their seats.

IN THE EVENING

Nandini and Navya were talking and suddenly Nandini remembers that her handbag was missing so she went to get her bag from where the fab5 were sitting.

Meanwhile,

Cabir: Guys. Iss bar aur ek nayi ladki hai. Wo bhi madhubala ki friend. Usey tang karne me bada maza aayega.

Mukti: You are right Cabir. Usne humse panga liya. Usko dikhana padega ki hum kon hai. Kyu Manik?

Manik was lost in his thoughts. He was thinking about Nandini.

Manik said to himself: Who is that girl? She is very different from others. Other girls would cling on to me but this girl she was fighting with me. The way she was getting angry she looked so cute. What? Cute? No. How can I think about a girl whom I just met? Arghhh.

He was brought out of his train of thoughts when Mukti shouted his name out.

Manik: huhh. What? Chilla kyu rahi hai?

Mukti: Manik. Tu theek to hai na? Hum uss ladki ko tang karne ka plan bana rahe hai and tu kuch bol nai raha hai?

Manik: Mukti. Acha wo. Mai uske bare me hi sochra tha. Anyways I will be right back.

He got up and was about to go out of their compartment. At the same time Nandini was rushing towards their compartment. Nandini was walking very fastly and suddenly she bumped into Manik and they both fell down. Nandini was on top of Manik.

Baatein Kuchh Ankahee Si, Kuchh Ansuni Si Hone Lagi Kaabu Dil Pe Raha Na, Hasti Hamaari Khone Lagi

They were so close to each other that they could feel each other's breathes. Manik's hands were around her waist. They were just looking into each other's eyes. Aliya got angry and stamped her foot in anger. They both were brought out of the trance due to the voice. Nandini was trying to get up but her locket got stuck in Manik's shirt.( Wo Wo O O O O O...) She was trying to free herself but she couldn't. So Manik brought his hands towards her locket and tried to remove it by looking into her eyes. He was lost in her.( Wo Wo O O O O O...)Manik was successful in removing her locket. They both were looking into each other's eyes.

Cabir: Hogaya Manik. Ab kya kiss karega usko?

Everyone started laughing except Aliya. Manik and Nandini were embarrassed. Nandini got up and the Manik also got up. Nandini was looking down in embarrassment and Manik was just staring at her.

Nandini: Wo mai. Mai apna bag bhul gyi thi yaha pe isiliye wahi lene aayi hu.

Mukti took her bag and said: What do you think? Itne easily tumhe apna bag mil jayega?

Nandini: Please give it back to me. Please.

Manik took the bag from Mukti's hand and gave it back to Nandini. Nandini was shocked but then she took the bag and smiled at Manik and left from there.( Shayad yahi hai pyaar in the bg) Manik just kept staring at her till she disappeared. Nandini was walking towards Navya and a smile appeared on her face.
