Tysm guys. 😳😳 And yeah I will upload the next chapter in 2 parts due to some problem.. the 1st part will be uploaded tomorrow morning and the 2nd part will be uploaded till the evening..please understand. My laptop is not working properly so it's difficult for me to write the chapters in my cell phone..BTW I loved today's epi. It was perfect. The kiss was sensational and I loved the part where Nandini writes I LOVE YOU on Manik's hand. Share your views about the episode.

CHAPTER 23 A

RECAP: Manik reads Dhruv's book and finds out that Dhruv has some feelings for Nandini.

Manik was shattered. He didn't know what to do. "I THINK I AM FALLING FOR NANDINI" this sentence again and again started coming in his mind. He and his best buddy had fallen for the same girl. That too not any other girl but her childhood bestie Nandini. Manik went to the music room and started playing his guitar. He said to himself," Dhruv loves Nandini. He has never fallen for any one before. How can I take away his happiness for my happiness! Pehle kabhi Dhruv ko kisi ke liye feelings nahi aayi. It is his first love. I can't make him sad. And he is the best guy one can ever meet. I am a monster and I don't deserve an angel like Nandini. I will stay away from her. But I love... no no Manik Malhotra get a grip of yourself. She is my best friend and it will remain that way only." Meanwhile, Dhruv was very upset because Manik had read his book. He very well knew his buddy. He was sure that he will never consider his happiness and he will always think about his friends first. He said to himself," Omg! What have I done! Ab Manik pata nahi kya kar baithega. I have to talk with him before he does something wrong." He got up and went to his room. He talked with Cabir and he found out that Manik was not there. He searched for him everywhere. He was not even in the music room. He was very scared now. He didn't know what to do and he can't even share this with anyone. Meanwhile, Nandini was in her room studying. Suddenly she realised that Manik was upset because of her. She went out for talking with him. He was nowhere to be seen so she went behind the music block. There he was sitting on the stairs. Nandini sat beside him and held his hand. Manik looked at her with a blank expression. Nandini was shocked to see him like this.

Nandini: Manik. I am so sorry.

Manik jerked her hand and moved away from her. Nandini became sad because of this. She moved closer and kept her head on his shoulder. Manik closed his eyes and smiled.

Nandini: Manik do you trust me?

Manik: Yes I trust you.

Nandini: Jo aaj subah hua usey bhul jao. You don't wanna know about that secret. Jab time aayega tum samajh jaoge ki maine tumhe kyu nahi bataya. Okay?

Manik: okay. ( Manik smiled unknowingly and was about to pull her closer but then he realised what he was doing so he stood up and turned around.)

Manik with tears: Nandini I will see you later. Bye

Nandini went closer and was about to hug him from back but he left without even looking at her. She knew something was wrong with her. She went towards her room thinking about Manik's behaviour and was very upset.

IN THE EVENING

Manik came back to his room. Cabir noticed that something was wrong with him. Firstly he thought that he was upset because of Nandini but then he realised that he can't be so upset because of such a small thing. Cabir asked him what was wrong with him. Manik thought that he shouldn't tell anyone about his decision so he just said that he was upset because of Nyonika. After some time, Manik and Cabir went towards the canteen to have dinner. At the same time, Nandini and Navya were also walking towards the canteen. Four of them reached towards the canteen at the same time. Nandini was in front of Manik and Navya was in front of Cabir. Manik and Nandini had an eye lock. Cabir and Navya smiled at each other looking at them. Nandini gave a cute smile to Manik and at the same time, Manik saw Dhruv in the canteen and he ignored Nandini and went inside giving an angry look. Nandini was shocked and at the same time Cabir and Navya were also shocked. Nandini went behind him with a sad face. Cabir came towards Navya.

Cabir: Aaj subah to romance kar rahe the aur ab kya hogaya?

Navya: Pata nahi Cabir.

Cabir: Manik ka mood theek nahi tha aaj. Kuch toh karna padega.

Navya: Han. I have an idea.

Cabir: Bolo na fir Madhubala ji.

Navya said something in his ear and they both smiled looking at each other and hi-fived.

Cabir: Wah Madhubala! Intelligent ha!

Navya: Wo to pehle se hu.

Cabir: Hahaha. Chalo abhi!

They both went inside and sat with others. Manik and Nandini were in front of each other. Abhi was sitting with Nandini and Navya was on other side. Mukti was sitting beside Manik and Dhruv on other side of Manik. Cabir was sitting between Navya and Mukti and Aliya was sitting between Abhi and Dhruv. Everyone was talking and laughing except Manik and Nandini. Manik so wanted to be near Nandini but he couldn't and Nandini was upset thinking about his behaviour. Nandini looked at Manik and realised he was also looking at her. She smiled but suddenly Manik turned away his face ignoring her which made her upset. Dhruv was noticing all this and felt very bad. Nandini looked down and Abhi noticed this. Abhi went near Nandini.

Abhi: Kya hua baby doll?

Nandini: Nothing Abhi!

Abhi: Tum kis se chupa rahi ho? I saw that.

Nandini looked at him and was looking very upset.

Nandini: I don't know what is wrong with him. He is ignoring me.

Abhi kept his hand around her shoulder and said: Don't worry baby doll. Everything will be fine.

Nandini smiled looking at him. Manik saw this and then he looked at Abhi's hand on her bare shoulder. He was fuming with anger looking at them and when Nandini looked at him he again turned away his face. After some time, everyone started moving out of the canteen. Navya took Nandini with her and Cabir took Manik with her. Aliya dragged Dhruv with her. Now Mukti and Abhi were left alone. They both were walking but no one spoke for some time.

Abhi: Can I ask you something?

Mukti: yeah! Sure

Abhi: Why don't you smile?

Mukti looked at him: What? I smile. Who said that I don't?

Abhi smiled: I mean a real smile.

Mukti: It's none of your business.

Mukti stormed out from there and Abhi ruffled his hair and smiled looking at her. Meanwhile, Aliya and Dhruv were talking in some corner.

Aliya: Dhruv What is wrong with you? Why do think that she is not interested in you?

Dhruv: Aliya! Please stop it. I said I don't want to.

Aliya: Please Dhruv. Mujhe batao kya hua?

Dhruv: It's nothing.

Saying this he went away from there and then Aliya also left from there. Meanwhile,

Navya: Nandu! Please help me. Waha store room me mera scarf gir gaya ha shayad aur mujhe andhere se darr lagta hai. Can you please bring it for me?

Nandini: Navya.. Umm. Okay I will bring it. Just wait here.

She went inside and Navya hid in the corner when Manik and Cabir came there.

Manik: What the hell Cabir! Store room ke pas kya kar rahe hai hum.

Cabir: Manik baba go inside. I have some work there and ya I will be back in 2 mins tab tak tu andar ja.

Manik went inside and it was dark. As soon as he walked inside Cabir locked the door from outside. Navya came there and smiled at him. Navya just hugged him in happiness. Cabir was shocked but then he also hugged her lightly. Navya broke the hug realising what she was doing. There was an awkward silence between them when suddenly Harshad came there.

Harshad: Navya!

Navya: Kya hai Harshad?

Harshad: I know you have no interest in talking with me. And trust me I also don't have any interest in talking with you.

Cabir: So why don't you get lost Harshad?

Harshad: You stay out of this Cabir! Anyways I don't have time to waste. So Navya, we have to perform together so kal se we will practice in the morning. Raghav sir is strict for his projects so please don't deny. Come to the music room at 7 am. Bye

Navya: Okay. Bye.

Navya was sad because of Harshad and Cabir noticed this. He kept his hand around her shoulder trying to console her.

Cabir: Don't worry.

Navya: Hmm..

Meanwhile, Manik walked inside and saw someone standing there. He couldn't see the face of that person so he walked towards it. As he moved closer Nandini was moving backwards and soon they bumped into each other. Nandini turned around and saw Manik. Manik was shocked to see Nandini there.
