CHAPTER 25

DAY 1(TUESDAY)

All the students and teachers of warrior high were very busy in the arrangements of the upcoming musical event. Unlike other schools, Warrior High not only focused on academics but also on talents of the students. In the morning, Cabir would go along with Navya for her practice and keep an eye on Harshad. Navya liked this gesture of Cabir. Manik and Nandini woke up with a smile on their faces and were still dreaming about yesterday night. They both got ready and reached the class and sat together holding hands. The classes were held up to 12 pm and then the students were assigned with their tasks. Aliya and Mukti were in the drama room where all the costumes were kept. Mukt looked after the costumes and Aliya made arrangements for make up. Meanwhile, Dhruv, Navya and Cabir were in the audi looking after the sitting arrangements and Cavya fighting over small things. Abhi was handed over the backstage arrangements along with Shanaya. Everyone was busy in their works but Manik and Nandini were just practicing in the music room. They had been practicing for 2 hours now and Manik decided to take a break.

Manik: Nandini. We should take a break.

Nandini: Ya Manik. We are done with our song. I hope everything goes perfect.

Manik came closer: Nothing can go wrong when we are together.

Nandini smiled: Ya Manik. You are right. We both are imperfect but when we are together we everything seems to be perfect.

Manik cupped her face: Yes. Everything seems perfect with you.

He bent down a little and placed a soft kiss on her forehead closing his eyes which made her feel happy. It was a kiss which reflected pure love. Moving away from her forehead he started looking into her big brown eyes and then her smile which could make anyone's heart skip a beat. Nandini also looked into his deep chocolaty brown eyes which reflected his pure love and affection for her. They stayed in that position for a while and then moved closer. Manik tilted his face a bit and was about to claim her pink luscious lips when someone coughed which led to breaking their trance. They moved away and saw Cabir. Cabir came near them.

Manik: Cabir! Why do you land up anywhere at wrong time.

Cabir: Sorry to interrupt you both but Raghav sir is calling all of us in the audi.

Nandini: Okay. Let's go then.

Manik: Fine. Let's go.

They went to the audi and saw all the students and they went towards the rest of their gang. Abhi was also present there so Nandini went to talk to him and stood beside him which made Manik jealous even if he knew Nandini thinks of him as her brother. He went on the other side of Nandini and put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her closer. Nandini was shocked with this sudden pull but felt happy being in his arms. Abhi just stood there smiling at his jealousy but just then Mukti came there and he remembered about the pills. He wanted to talk with Mukti but just then Raghav sir came there and started speaking.

Raghav Sir: Good afternoon students. I hope the work is going on well. I need the updates so every group will come and give me the updates. Be quick guys we don't have enough time.

Aliya and Mukti's work was appreciated by Raghav sir while he scolded Navya and Cabir for fighting. Harshad and his partners were praised, Abhi's work was appreciated by him while Shanaya was scolded for not involving much and at last Manik and Nandini were also praised with their progress. Dhruv was told to work with Abhi as Shanaya didn't involve herself much in the task. Everyone again took off to their respective tasks. All day passed with work and everyone was tired. Manik and Nandini practiced their dialogues as well as their song. Navya and Cabir spent their day fighting and having cute arguments. Dhruv and Aliya managed to practice for an hour in between. After having dinner everyone was damn tired and decided to doze off as they had to work more. Everyone headed to their respective rooms and dozed off soon.

DAY 2 (WEDNESDAY)

Cabir was sitting outside the music room waiting for Navya. He kept checking on her time to time and everything was going on well. He sat down on the bench outside and fell asleep. Navya came out after her practice and saw Cabir sleeping like a baby on the bench. She smiled and went near him. She said to himself," Maine kabhi socha nahi tha ki Cabir itna acha hai. He cares for me so much that he wakes up early in the morning for me and now he is sleeping her like a cute baby." Unknowingly she moved her palm towards his face and then sat down on her knees and went closer to his face. Suddenly Cabir woke up but his eyes were half open so Navya abruptly got up and told Cabir to wake up and they both went from there. In the afternoon after the classes everyone went to do their respective works. Manik and Nandini were in the music room and were practicing. Everyone practiced and worked on their tasks the whole day. Aliya and Mukti were busy with their work while Abhi and Dhruv became good friends and worked properly together.In the evening, Manik and Nandini were sitting on the stairs and Nandini was very tired and was feeling sleepy. Manik noticed that she was very tired so he decided not to give her more stress today. Manik side hugged her and she kept her head on his chest feeling his heartbeats.

Manik: Nandu!

Nandini softly: Hmm..

Manik: I think you should take rest. You are tired.

Nandini: No Manik. We have todo so much and

Manik got up and said: Shut up Nandini. You are so tired and I am not going to listen anything.

Nandini: Manik please. Don't.

Manik: Are you coming with me by yourself or you want me to use my tricks.

Nandini folded her hands across her chest and said: I am not coming. You can do whatever you want.

Manik smirked her and lifted her in his arms and started walking towards her room even if Nandini was constantly telling him to put her down. Soon they were inside Nandini's room. Manik gently placed her on her bed and smiled seeing her angry pout. As soon as he placed her on the bed she got up. After some time of fighting over this issue she finally gave up. Manik went inside her washroom to freshen up and when he came outside his face and his shirt were wet. Nandini laughed seeing his condition while Manik glared at her angrily. Manik dried his face with a towel. Nandini was still laughing and then suddenly her eyes widened when Manik started taking off his shirt. He looked at Nandini's face and smirked. He slowly unbuttoned all the buttons of his shirt and seductively threw it on the floor. Nandini looked lovingly at his bare chest and his well build up body. He looked damn hot shirtless thought Nandini. Manik moved closer to Nandini increasing her heartbeats. Manik held her waist and pulled her closer and Nandini kept her hands on his bare chest. They kept looking at each other. They both could feel each other's hot breaths on their faces as well as their heartbeats. Manik could see what effect he has on Nandini and felt happy about it. Manik slowly removed Nandini's school blazer and it fell on the floor and looked at her neck sliding her shirt a little where he saw the faded mark of his love bite. Nandini remembered about it as he touched the mark with his soft hand. She tip toed and went near his neck. Her hands were still on his chest and she moved closer to his neck and kissed the right side of his neck. And then started sucking it and left a love bite on his neck. Manik was very happy with this and suddenly Nandini hugged him tightly as she was feeling shy. Her hands were on his bare back caressing it softly while Manik was playing with her hair. They broke the hug after a few minutes.

Nandini shyly: Ab tum jao Manik. Navya aajayegi toh?

Manik smirked: Okay. Bye.

Nandini saw that he was still shirtless and was smirking. She imagined him going out and all the girls staring at him and trying to get close to him and she got angry thinking about it. He turned around to go when Nandini came in front of him.

Nandini: Stop stop stop.

Manik innocently: Kya hua Nandu?

Nandini: Wohh. Umm.. Wear your shirt and then you can go.

Manik: It's wet na Nandu.

Nandini picked up his shirt and then went towards her dressing table and started drying it with her hair drier. She came near Manik and gave his dry shirt to him.

Nandini: You can wear it now.

Manik smirked and wore his shirt. Nandini just kept admiring him. She was brought out of the trance when Manik gave her a quick hug and went out of the room. Nandini stood there for a while thinking about Manik. Manik came out of her room blushing and went away from there. At the same time, Aliya came out of her room which was close to nandini's room and saw Manik coming out Nandini's room. She had never seen Manik blushing. She felt angry when he saw Manik coming out of Nandini's room and that to blushing. She started walking towards the music room for practicing with Dhruv. She and Dhruv practiced well for an hour but she seemed to be lost and Dhruv noticed it.

Dhruv: Aliya are you fine?

Aliya with tears: No Dhruv I am not fine.

Dhruv cupped her face wiping her tears. Aliya just hugged him tightly and Dhruv also gave in. Dhruv was caressing her back to console her. After some time, they broke the hug.

Dhruv: Please tell me what is wrong with you.

Aliya: Manik.

She again started crying and Dhruv side hugged her trying to console her. He knew what was the matter and he felt bad for Aliya. After some time they joined everyone for dinner and then after having dinner everyone went back to their respective rooms and dozed off.

DAY 3 (THURSDAY)

All the students were gathered up in the Audi after the lunch break. Abhi was still confused about whom to talk with about Mukti. He couldn't see anyone in this state. He turned around when he heard someone calling Mukti's name. It was Harshad who had called Mukti. He remembered Nandini telling about Hharshad. He saw Mukti's face which showed that she is hurt.

Mukti: What is your problem Harshad?

Harshad: I have to talk with you.

Just then Navya came there and saw Harshad. She became sad and went away from there completely ignoring Harshad. Mukti also left from there without letting Harshad say anything. Abhi noticed everything. He said to himself," One playboy and two girls who look equally hurt. I have to do something soon." Meanwhile, Cabir and Navya were sitting on the chairs. They both were exhausted and kept there hands on the arm of the chair. Their hands touched and they saw each other and kept looking at each other. At the same time, Nandini came there and saw them. She said to herself," What is going on between them?" She thought not to disturb them but just then Manik came from behind and kept his hand around her shoulder. He didn't notice Cavya.

Manik: What's up guys?

Cavya came out of the trance and straightened up.

Cabir: Nothing bro. I am just exhausted.

Manik: Ya same here.

Nandini saw Navya glancing at Cabir again and again and a smile appeared on her face. After some time, Raghav sir came and started checking on the arrangements and felt happy seeing his students working so hard. He appreciated everyone and also commented on Cavya that it was good that they had stopped fighting. Everyone chuckled listening to this. Raghav sir left saying that they have to work only today as tomorrow they all can rest. He also said that their opponent school teams would be coming tomorrow. Everyone went back to their work. Aliya and Mukti were checking on the costumes. Aliya seemed very upset to Mukti.

Mukti: Aliya tu theek hai na?

Aliya gave a fake smile: Yes I am fine.

Mukti hugged her: If something is disturbing you please share it with me.

Aliya hugged her back: Yeah sure Mukti.

After their work for the day was done, Mukti went towards her room while Aliya went to the music room to practice with Dhruv. Mukti was in a rush and took out the packet of her pills from her bag but it was empty and then she realised that the other packet was missing. Suddenly Abhi came in front of her and showed her the packet of her pills.

Abhi: Looking for this eh?

Mukti angrily: What the hell? Yeh tumhare paas kyu hai?

Abhi: I should ask that. Why do you have these pills?

Mukti snatched it from his hand: It is none of your business.

She walked away from their angrily and entered her room banging the door. She sat on the floor crying. She was helpless. She was still hurt because of Harshad but she never showed it to anyone. In the evening, everyone met for dinner. Manik and Nandini as usual were sitting together and Manik was teasing her to which she reacted as he had expected. After talking and laughing together for some time, everyone went back to their rooms.

DAY 4 (FRIDAY)

The whole day was off for all the students and all were looking after arrangements. It was the last day for preparations and everyone was working hard. All the students from 5 top schools throughout the India came to Warrior High and they were assigned their respective rooms. Harshad left no chance to impress the teachers by his sweet words. He welcomed all the guests and students very nicely which impressed everyone. He smirked and left from there. Fab5 saw this and giving angry glares to Harshad left from there. Everyone assembled in the Audi where they saw NavNi and Abhi talking and laughing with each other. They all went near them and Manik went straight between Abhi and Nandini and gave a fake smile to Abhi to which he giggled. Raghav sir along with the principal came there and the principal gave a speech to motivate them. Everyone was done with their respective tasks and now they all had to look after the decorations of the Audi where the event will be held. After a few hours the Audi was almost decorated and it looked beautiful. The stage was covered with black shiny cover and around it a set was built. It was dark blue and artificial stars were shining on them. There were curtains hanging around the whole stage making it more beautiful. Everyone settled down and suddenly they realised that they haven't practiced for the opening performance. So fab5, Harshad and NavNi gathered in the music room. Harshad came in between.

Harshad: So guys I will lead.

Manik smirked: Harshad why are you even trying? Everyone knows who is gonna lead. And that is me.

Harshad: No Manik. I will lead.

They faced each other and looked at each other angrily and Nandini came in between.

Nandini: Guys. Stop fighting. I have an idea. Let's toss.

Harshad: Fine.

Nandini took out a coin and tossed it in the air and again caught it. She looked at Manik as if asking what he wants to choose.

Manik: heads.

Nandini opened her hand and saw it was heads. She became happy and started smiling. Seeing her smiling face Manik understood that it was heads.

Nandini looked at Manik with a smile: It's heads.

Manik smirked looking at Harshad: I knew it. So let's get started.

Manik picked up his guitar and came in front of the mike. Nandini came beside him and started adjusting the mike beside him. Manik came closer to her face and Nandini looked at him.

Manik: Thanks.

Nandini: Thanks for what?

Manik: Thanks for making me win.

Nandini smiled: Wo to bas luck tha.

Manik smiled: So that means you are my lucky charm.

Nandini blushed hearing that and they kept looking at each other for a while. And then all of them started practicing for their performance. After practicing for hours with lots of Manik and Harshad fights which were solved by Nandini everyone started going towards the canteen but Abhi stopped Manik and said that he wanted to talk about something. Everyone went to the canteen except for Manik and Abhi.

Manik: What?

Abhi: It's about Mukti.

Manik worriedly: Mukti? What happened?

Abhi: I saw anti depressant pills in her bag. (He explained the whole scenario) I think we should do something to help her. It's not good to take such pills.

Manik: Thank you so much for telling this. I will definitely do something about it.

Abhi: It's my pleasure bro.

They both joined everyone else in the canteen. Manik was very upset thinking about Mukti and he didn't speak anything. Nandini was shocked to see him like this. He didn't do anything to tease her. She was worried for him. After having dinner, Manik left without giving Nandini a chance to speak. Nandini also went to her room worried about Manik. At Night, Nandini was not able to sleep because she knew something was wrong with him. Nandini went outside her room and started walking towards the boy's hostel. She sneaked inside without making any noise. She went towards Manik's room and knocked on the door. Manik was still awake so he opened the door and was shocked to see Nandini there. Manik heard some foot steps and then he saw the peon coming towards his room. He pulled Nandini inside and closed the door. There was someone who saw all this. He was a guy from other school and smirked looking at this. He said to himself," Interesting. There are so many hot chicks around here and I am sure I can have a lot of fun here. I need to know about this hot girl." He smirked and went inside his room.

Manik: Nandini. Are you crazy?

Nandini: I was worried about you. Just tell me what is wrong with you?

Manik sat on the bed and Nandini beside him. Manik put his head down. Nnandini kept her hand on his shoulder to relax him. He looked up and saw Nandini's beautiful face. He thought how could she recognise his feelings so easily.

Manik: It's Mukti. She is back on her anti depressant pills. (He explained what Abhi had told)

Nandini: Manik. Don't worry. We will find a way to deal with it.

Manik: I hope so.

Nandini stood up and pulled Manik with her. Nandini just hugged him tightly and Manik also gave in. Nandini caressed his back slowly to console him and Manik felt relaxed being in her arms. He smiled and huggd her more tightly. They both stayed like this for a long time and then broke the hug. Nandini placed a soft kiss on his forehead which relaxed him completely and took away all his worries. He had no words to describe how he felt at that moment. After some time, Manik went towards Nandini's room with her. They reached her room and saying good night to each other Nandini turned to go inside but then suddenly she turned around and came near Manik. She pecked on his lips and ran to her room giving a shy smile to him. Manik blushed at that moment and went back to his room.
