CHAPTER 16

NEXT DAY

It was a big day for all the students of the school. The seniors were looking after the arrangements of the fresher's party while the fresher's were busy in practicing. But there was only one person who was chilled out. He was none other than Manik Malhotra. Fab5 were in the music room and Nandini was also there. Everyone was done with their practicing. It was around 4 in the evening.

Aliya: Guys I am done with my practice. What about you guys?

Dhruv: Same here.

Cabir: Ya I am also done.

Nandini: Me too.

Mukti: What about you Manik?

Manik was sitting casually on chair putting his legs on another chair. He listened to Mukti and got up and smirked. He said: Manik Malhotra ko practice ki zarurat nahi hai.

Everyone just smiled looking at his confidence. Nandini was busy looking into her diary. Manik noticed it and went near her and was about to take it away when Nandini pulled it back and glared angrily towards him. Manik smirked. Nandini was again busy looking into her diary and Manik gave a mischievous smile at her. He went near her and snatched the diary from him and ran far away from her. Nandini ran behind her. For some time, they both were running here and there. Nandini was behind Manik and everyone laughed looking at them. After some time, Manik came near fab4 and stood there. Nandini also came near her and tried to take her diary back from him. But Manik lifted his hands in the air and Nandini being short couldn't reach his hand even after tiptoeing. She gave up and stood in front of Manik folding her hands across her chest. Manik smiled looking at her.

Nandini: Why are you smiling? Tum itne lambe ho and apne hath upar karke khade rahoge to how will I reach your hand?

Manik: Ohh! BTW Nandu, I am not that tall. You are too short.

Nandini: No. You are too tall Manik Malhotra.

Manik: You are too short. Bachpan me complain nahi piya kya?

Nandini: Kaise piti? Tum ne hi sab pi liya na.

Everyone chuckled listening to their cute conversation. After listening to Nandini's comment Manik also laughed and kept his hand around her shoulder. Nandini who was trying to control also started laughing and Manik kept staring at Nandini while she was laughing. He said to himself," Always keep smiling Nandu. You look so beautiful." After some time, everyone went back to their rooms to get ready. Aliya, Mukti and Nandini got ready together and Aliya helped Nandini and Mukti with their make up. Mukti was a tom boy but today she looked like a girl. All the boys also got ready and went to the party. The girls were not there yet. Manik was constantly looking at the entrance waiting for Nandini. Aliya, Mukti and Nandini were walking towards the entrance. Aliya entered first followed by Mukti and then Nandini. Manik, Cabir and Dhruv looked at the entrance when Aliya and Mukti came in and they were shocked to see Mukti like that. Manik smiled looking at them and then Nandini entered wearing a navy blue gown and she was looking breathtaking in that gown. Her hair were tied up in a not so messy bun and some loose strands of wavy hair made her look more beautifull. Manik couldn't take his eyes off Nandini and he was left speechless looking at her and only he could say was," WOW!" Nandini was also staring at Manik. Manik was looking very handsome in his black tuxedo and his hair pushed back. He looked hot as usual and Nandini was stunned by his charm. They walked towards each other. Cabir and Dhruv also wore a black tuxedo, Aliya wore a red gown and Mukti wore a black gown. Everyone was present their and praising each other but Manik and Nandini were busy staring at each other. Aliya, Mukti, Cabir and Dhruv went from there leaving Manik and Nandini alone. Nandini was blushing and looking down while Manik was busy staring at her.

Manik: You look beautiful. Just like an angel.

Nandini looked at him and blushed: Thank you Manik. And you too are looking very handsome.

Manik smiled: Thank you! Chalein?

Manik gave his hand like a perfect gentleman and Nandini also agreed and held his hand. They both walked inside and every pair of eyes was looking at them. Someone said that they look like a couple; someone said that they both look perfect with each other. There were many people who commented on them and they both just blushed hearing all those comments. At the same time, Harshad also came there wearing a black tux. He saw Manik and Nandini together. He didn't understand what was happening between them. He said to himself," Ye Manik aur Nandini ke beech me kya chal raha hai? Anyways I should not think about them and concentrate on my performance. Manik Malhotra today you will lose." He smirked and went away. Manik and Nandini joined fab4. Dhruv was also staring at Nandini but she didn't notice this. Aliya was looking at Manik but he was busy in his own land. After some time there was an announcement that the performances will start very soon. Everyone got ready and after some time, the participants were called on stage. First the boys were called on stage. First was Cabir. He sang the song Saturday Saturday'. Then Dhruv played his guitar. It was an instrumental song. Harshad sang,' Khamoshiyan'. And now it was Manik's turn to perform. As soon as Manik's name was announced everyone started cheering for him. He just looked at Nandini and she smiled looking at him. He went on the stage with attitude and sat on the stool holding his guitar. The lights went off and the spotlight fell on Manik. He started playing his guitar and then started singing while looking at Nandini and Nandini also looked at Manik.

Hmm.. hmm...

Dehleez pe mere dil ki
Jo rakhe hain tune kadam
Tere naam pe meri zindagi
Likh di mere humdum

(He started remembering the moments spent with Nandini)

Haan seekha maine jeena jeena kaise jeena
Haan seekha maine jeena mere humdum
Na seekha kabhi jeena jeena kaise jeena
Na seekha jeena tere bina humdum

Dehleez pe merey dil ki
Jo rakhe hain tune kadam
Tere naam pe meri zindagi
Likh di mere humdum

Haan sikha maine jeena jeena kaise jeena
Haan sikha maine jeena, mere humdum
Na sikha kabhi jeena jeena kaise jeena
Na sikha jeena tere bina humdum
(He closed his eyes and remembered how she fell on him in the train and were stuck together and started smiling)

Hmmm.. hmmm..

Sacchi si hain yeh taareefein
Dil se jo maine kari hain...

Sacchi si hain yeh taareefein
Dil se jo maine kari hain...

Jo tu mila to saji hain
Duniya meri humdum

(He remembered how she kissed on his cheek)
O aasma mila zameen ko meri
Aadhe aadhe poore hain hum
Tere naam pe meri zindagi
Likh di mere humdum

( He remembered what happened last night)

Haan seekha maine jeena jeena, kaise jeena
Haan seekha maine jeena, mere humdum
Na seekha kabhi jeena jeena kaise jeena
Na seekha jeena tere bina humdum

Hmmm... hmmm..

After his performance, everyone started cheering and saying" once more". The judges were also impressed with his talent. Nandini was mesmerized. Manik came near fab4 and Nandini. Everyone praised Manik a lot. Manik kept looking at Nandini and Nandini blushed while looking at Manik. After the performances of boys were over it was time for girls. 2 3 girls performed well. 1 of them sang a song and two others danced. It was Aliya's turn. She went backstage and changed into her dance outfit and performed on the song' Chittiyan Kalaiyan' Her performance was very cute and everyone praise her a lot. After the performance she was back in her red gown. Now it was Nandini's turn to perform. She was scared and looked at Manik. Manik knew that she was scared so he held her hand assuring her that everything will be fine. She smiled and went on the stage. She adjusted the mike and started singing while looking towards Manik and Manik smiled looking at her.

O.. Yahin doobe din mere
Yahin hote hain savere
Yahin marna aur jeena
Yahin Mandir aur Madeena... x2

Teri galiyan... galliyan teri, galliyan..
Mujhko bhaavein galiyan, teri galliyan
Teri galiyan...galiyaan teri, galliyan..
Yuhin tadpavein, galliyan teri, Galliyan...

Tu meri neendo me sota hai
Tu mere ashqo mein rota hai
Sargoshi si hai khayalon mein
Tu na ho, phir bhi tu hota hai
Hai sila.. tu mere dard ka

Mere dil ki duaayein hain..
Teri galiyan... galliyan teri, galliyan..
Mujhko bhaavein galiyan, teri galiyan
Teri galiyan...galiyaan teri, galliyan..
Yuhin tadpaavein, galliyan teri, galliyan..

Kaisa hai rishta tera-mera
Be-chehra phir bhi kitna gehra
Ye lamhe, lamhe ye resham se
Kho jaayein.. kho na jaayein humse
Kaafila.. waqt ka.. rok le..
Abr se juda na ho

Teri galliyan... galliyan teri galliyan..
Mujhko bhaave galiyan teri galiyan
Teri galiyan...galiyaan teri galliyan..
Yuhin tadpaave galliyan teri galliyan..

Galliyan...
Teri galliyan..
Tadpaavein...

She sang the whole song looking at Manik, remembering the moments spent with him and was smiling the whole time. After her performance, everyone cheered for her and she walked down and went towards Manik and hugged him tightly. Manik also gave in and hugged her back. After breaking the hug she hugged Cabir also and he hugged her back. The results would be declared after some time so everyone started enjoying the party. Everyone was having fun. After some time, there was an announcement that everyone should come near the stage as the results were to be declared.

The host said: Guys and Girls, hold your breath because I am going to announce Mr. Fresher and Miss fresher. First of all Mr. Fresher is.. Any guesses?

Everyone started screaming Manik's name and Manik smirked. He knew he was going to win.

The host: You are right people. Mr. Fresher is Manik Malhotra. So please give it up for Manik Malhotra.

Manik stood up with attitude and walked on the stage and stood beside the host. Everyone cheered for Manik. Everyone was very happy except for Harshad. He walked away from there.

The host: And Miss fresher is... Any guesses?

Everyone started screaming Aliya and Nandini's names. They both smiled at each other. Manik smiled looking at Nandini.

The host: Miss Fresher is Nandini Murthy. Give it up for Nandini Murthy.

Aliya was sad but she plastered a fake smile on her face. Nandini was shocked as well as very happy. She walked on the stage and looked at Manik who was seeing her walking towards him. Nandini stood with Manik looking at him and then looked at the audience. Everyone cheered for them. The judges praise them a lot. The host said that the first dance will be done by them. So Manik offered his hand to Nandini and Nandini accepted it. They both walked down the stage. Manik pulled her closer and they started dancing on the song " Baatein Kuch Ankahee si" (Please imagine their dance in Raghav's birthday party) They both were lost in each other's eyes. Aliya was feeling jealous of Nandini and Dhruv also was jealous. After some time, everyone else also joined them. Aliya and Dhruv started dancing together, Mukti and Cabir danced together. Seeing everyone around them Manik and Nandini realised where they were so they looked here and there. Suddenly Manik stopped dancing and pulled Nandini outside and went to a corner.

Nandini: Manik kya kar rahe ho tum?

Manik: Wohh. Nandini.

Nandini: What Manik? Waha party chal rahi hai aur tum mujhe yaha le aaye? Kya kar rahe ho tum?

Manik kept his finger on Nandini's lips: Shh.. Nandini. Kuch mat bolo.

Nandini just kept looking at Manik and Manik was also staring at her. He then slowly moved his hand towards her cheek and tucked a loose strand behind her ear. Nandini started blushing and looked down. Manik smiled and then made her look at him. They both were just staring at each other. Manik moved closer to her face and looked at her pink glossy lips. Nandini just closed her eyes. Manik cupped her face with right hand and the other hand held her waist. Nandini's hands reached his shoulders. Manik went closer to her lips and they were 0.0001 inch apart from each other. They were about to kiss but they heard Mukti screaming Manik and Nandini's names. They both were brought out of the trance. Nandini looked down and Manik was irritated. They both decided to go back to the party. They went back inside. Nandini and Manik were stealing glances and blushing. Cabir just kept looking at them and smiled.

PRECAP: Everyone was in the canteen. Fab5 and Nandini were sitting together and just then a girl entered the canteen and everyone just kept looking at her.

Boy 1: Aree dekh yaar ye wahi hai kya?

Boy 2: Han wahi hai. Hot lag rahi hai.

Boy 3: Woww! Pehle kabhi aisi ladki nahi dekhi.

Fab5, Nandini and Harshad were shocked to see that girl.
