CHAPTER 19

Manik and Nandini were lost in each other and Dhruv was looking at Nandini and smiling as he thought that Nandini is also staring at him. Their trance was broken by the class bell. Manik and Nandini were brought out of their dream land. Nandini looked forward and started smiling. Manik and Dhruv were also smiling thinking about Nandini. Navya noticed that Nandini was smiling so she thought of confronting her.

Navya: Nandu!

Nandini: Han Navya. Bolo na.

Navya: Kya soch kar itna smile kar rahi ho? Mujhe bhi batao.

Nandini: Navya mai kaha smile kar rahi hu?

Navya: Nandu! Sach batao kya soch rahi ho?

Nandini: Kuch bhi to nahi Navya. Tum pagal hogayi ho kya?

Navya: Manik ke bare me soch rahi ho na?

Nandini didn't say anything and started smiling or should I say blushing. She remembered about last night. She remembered how Manik sucked the icecream and how she kissed him on his cheeks. Remembering those moments her face flushed red and Navya noticed this. It was enough for Navya to understand her friend's feelings so she didn't say anything further. Nandini was lost in her thoughts and said to herself," What is happening with me? Why do I always keep thinking about Manik..Aisa kabhi merr sath nahi hua..What are these strange feelings? Am I falling for Manik?" Meanwhile, Navya then looked at Manik who was also lost in his thoughts. Manik was also thinking about last night and he also started smiling and said to himself," Nandu, what have you done to me? Me Manik Malhotra who never tried to be close to any girl is thinking about a girl and smiling..What is happening with me? Am I falling for you Nandu?" Cabir who was sitting away from Manik noticed this. He then went towards Nandini and Navya and saw Nandini smiling. Navya and Cabir looked at each other and smiled. Nandini didn't even notice Cabir. Cabir took Navya aside.

Navya: Kya hai Cabir?

Cabir: Oh Madhubala mujhe tumse bat karne me koi interest nahi hai.

Navya: Han to mujhe bhi nahi hai.

Cabir: Arghh! Just stop it! Let's fight later. Right now we should think about MaNan.

Navya: MaNan?

Cabir: You dumbo! Manik+Nandini= MaNan.

Navya: Oh achha. Maine bohot bar dekha hai ki Manik aur Nandini ek dusre ko dekhte rehte hai.

Cabir: I have also noticed that! But ek problem hai.

Navya: Problem? Kya problem?

Cabir: They both are equally stubborn and wo dono kisi se bat nahi karenge apni feelings ke bare me nahi confess karenge. To humein un dono ko help karni hogi confess karne me. What say?

Navya: Han theek keh rahe ho tum.

Cabir: Mission MaNan is on!

They both smiled looking at each other and then went back to their seats. After many boring lectures finally the classes were over and the students started leaving from the classes. But fab5, Nandini and Navya were still in the classroom. Everyone gathered around together and started talking. After some time everyone sat on nearby benches. Aliya was sitting alone and so was Nandini. Aliya was expecting Manik to sit with her but Manik went and sat with Nandini and Dhruv sat with Aliya. Mukti and Cabir were sitting on desks and Navya was sitting in front of MaNan. They started talking, chatting and gossiping. After some time everyone was busy so taking the advantage of the situation, Manik held Nandini's hand without letting anyone notice. Nandini was surprised with his gesture but she held his hand tighter which made Manik happy. Nandini then entwined her fingers with his. Manik stated caressing her hand with his thumb which made Nandini blush.

Mukti: Guys! Today's day was so boring yar!

Aliya: Ya Mukti. I was so bored the whole day.

Cabir: Guys! I have an idea!

Manik: What?

Cabir: Let's jam guys! It's been weeks since we have practiced together.

Dhruv: Han Cabir is right!

Manik: Ya Cabir you are right.

Cabir: Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!

Manik: Ya let's go.

Nandini: Guys, you all practice. Mai aur Navya room me ja rahe hai.

Manik: Aree why? Tum bhi chal rahi ho humare sath.

Aliya: But Manik, it's fab5's practice time and no one else can interfere.

Aliya's anger towards Nandini reflected from her tone and everyone noticed this. Somewhere, Nandini knew the reason behind Aliya's anger towards her. Manik was so angry on Aliya that he held Nandini's hand tighter. Nandini didn't know what to do. She thought of opposing Aliya because Manik was angry but at the same time she didn't want to be the reason behind conflicts between fab5. So she didn't say anything.

Manik: Aliya! Shut up! How can you say that? Nandini is not an outsider. She is mine and Cabir's best friend.

Aliya: I know Manik. But

Manik: But what Aliya? Nandini can interfere because now she is also a part of our family. Do you get that?

Aliya just looked away in anger.

Nandini: Manik, Please calm down. (She kept her other hand on his shoulder) I am tired. You guys practice. We will meet later. Okay?

Aliya: Ya Nandini. You should leave and ya you should rest.

Nandini: Navya chalo we will go to our room.

Manik was so angry because of Aliya and on top of that Nandini was leaving. He wanted to spend more time with her but she wanted to leave. So he jerked her Nandini off and stood up. Nandini was sad because of his behaviour but she thought she will convince him later so saying bye to everyone they both left from there. Fab5 headed towards the music room. They started practicing but Manik was not able to concentrate properly. In between Aliya tried to be near Manik but Manik just ignored Aliya. After some hours it was time for dinner so everyone went to the canteen and joined NavNi on their usual table. Nandini and Navya were sitting with each other. Cabir sat next to Navya, Manik sat next to Cabir, Dhruv sat next to Manik, Aliya sat next to Dhruv and Mukti sat in between Nandini and Aliya. Manik was in front of Nandini. Nandini was looking at Manik again and again but Manik avoided her. Once Manik looked at Nandini and Nandini also looked at Manik at the same time. Nandini made a puppy face and said sorry with her eyes but Manik juts ignored her. He looked away. After having dinner everyone went back to their respective rooms.

Manik was still angry with Nandini and Nandini was upset. They both wanted to talk with each other but both being stubborn didn't even try. It was around midnight and almost everyone was asleep. But Manik and Nandini couldn't sleep. They both were missing each other badly. They both were continuously checking their cell phones but no one messaged the other. After some time, Nandini gave up and messaged Manik.

Nandini: Manik, I need to meet you.

Manik: I don't want to meet you.

Nandini: Manik, Please..

Manik: No.!

Nandini: I am waiting for you behind the music block. Aana hai to aajana.

Manik: I won't come. Don't wait.

Nandini smiled as she knew that he would come for sure. Nandini happily went behind the music block and sat on the stairs waiting for Manik. Manik came from behind and saw Nandini sitting on the stairs. He went and sat beside her.

Manik: I told you not to wait.

Nandini: I knew that you will come.

Manik: Kyu bulaya mujhe yaha?

Nandini kept her hand on his: Manik, I am sorry na.

Manik: Sorry for what?

Nandini: Mai nahi chahti thi ki meri wajahse fab5 ke beech me koi jhagde ho. That's why I went back to my room.

Manik: But.

Nandini kept her finger on his lips: Shhh.. Manik I don't want to fight with you. Please. (She said making a puppy face)

Manik just kept looking at her with awe. She was looking so cute. Manik just smiled looking at her cute puppy face. Nandini's hand was still on his lips. Manik pecked lightly on her finger which made her blush. Nandini removed her finger form his lips and looked down. Manik was staring at her. He cupped her face and made her look at him. He started caressing her face with his thumb. He moved closer to her face. He brought his lips close to her forehead and pecked on her forehead lightly. He then removed his hands from her face and pulled her into a side hug.

Manik: Nandu, I am sorry maine tumhe ignore kiya.

Nandini: It's okay Manik. I can understand.

Manik: You know I just can't listen anything against you. That's why I got angry and upar se I wanted to be with you aur tum chali gayi room me isiliye gussa hogaya tha.

Nandini smiled: Manik leave it na. Jo hogaya wo hogaya.

They stayed in that position for a while and after some time they got up and started talking. Manik then startd tickling her. She was laughing like a little kid and Manik was enjoying a lot. Manik stopped tickling her but Nandini was still laughing. After a few seconds, Nandini moved closer to Manik and moved her hands towards his stomach and started ticking him. But he didn't laugh so Nandini looked at Manik.

Manik: I don't feel ticklish. Ha Ha Ha.

Nandini: Thodi si bhi nahi?

Manik: Nope.

Nandini: Acha. To let's check.

Saying this she started ticking him and he started laughing. He also started tickling Nandini amking her laugh a lot. Nandini sat on the stairs still laughing and Manik joined her and again started tickling. Nandini lied down on the floor laughing and Manik went upon her and was still tickling her. She was laughing a lot and pleading Manik to stop but he didn't stop. After some time, Manik was also laughing because he was enjoying a lot. They both were lying on the floor very close to each other. And suddenly and unknowingly their lips touched. Manik moved his face away and looked at Nandini who was shocked. They both got up and straightened up. There was an awkward silence for some time and they both were looking here and there to avoid eye contact. After some time, Nandini broke the silence.

Nandini: I will go back to my room. It's too late.

Manik: Ya chalo I will come till your room.

They both started walking towards Nandini's room without speaking anything. Soon they reached her room and they both were standing in front of each other without looking at each other. Manik went closer to Nandini and she moved back and soon her back touched the wall and Manik went closer to her. Manik held her wrists and pinned them to the wall and moved his face closer to Nandini. Nandini closed her eyes. Manik went closer to her neck and placed a soft kiss there. He then moved closer to her lips. Nandini opened her eyes and saw Manik so close to her. They both could feel each other's hot breath on their faces. Nandini again closed her eyes which gave a green signal to Manik. Manik moved his lips close to her lips and slowly touched his lips with her lips. He started kissing softly and Nandini also responded back. Manik sucked her lower lip while Nandini sucked her upper lip. Their tongues were exploring each other's mouths. The kiss turned passionate. Manik left her wrists and his hands held her waist and Nandini's hands were around his neck. She dug her nails into his hair and started playing with them. Their bodies were rubbing each other and they both were still kissing each other passionately. After some time they broke the kiss as they were out of breath. They both were breathing heavily and looking at each other. Manik again moved close to Nandini and they both were looking into each other's eyes passionately. Manik moved his lips closer to her shoulder. He held the strap of her top in his mouth and moved it down her shoulder slowly. His hands were on her waist. He started planting wet kisses on her neck. Nandini was feeling shy so she just hugged him tightly. Manik smiled at her innocence and hugged her back. He moved the strap of her top back to its place. They both hugged each other for a while and broke the hug. Nandini was looking down and blushing a lot and Manik was staring at her intensely. After a few moments,

Nandini: Good night Manik.

Manik: Good night Nandu!

Nandini gave a cute smile to Manik and went back to her room and jumped on the bed and hugged her pillow tightly. Manik stood there for a while and then went back to his room with a big cute smile on his face.
