CHAPTER 41
After having lunch, everyone was talking and chit chatting with each other in the centre. Manik was looking at Nandini when she was laughing on some lame joke by other students. Nandini looked at him as she felt his intense gaze on her. Nandini raised her eyebrow as if asking 'what are you doing'. Manik just nodded his head and smiled and then Nandini snuggled close to him resting her on his chest and wrapping his arms around his stomach and Manik happily wrapped his arms around her shoulder. Harshad was looking at them with a devilish smirk and thought," These are a few last good moments in your life Manik Malhotra. Enjoy it." At the same time, Aliya saw MaNan lovingly looking at each other wrapped in each others arms. Aliya said," Aww! You both are such cuties. Please be like this forever." Manik pecked on her cheek and said," Yes we will be like this forever. Humesha!" Nandini blushed and said looking into his eyes," Humesha." Everyone looked at them in awe and Cabir clicked a picture of them and sent it on their group with the caption,"Lovestruck!" MaNan came out of their lala land with the message beep but none moved away from each other. Cabir said," Manik Nandini." Manik thought that he will again taunt but to their surprise he smiled and said," Iss bar mein koi taunt nahi marunga. I am really happy to see you both so happy. This is my first and last wish to God to keep you both together and happy forever."
MaNan were just looking at them and then both stood up and hugged him together. Nandini," Cabir you are so sweet." Manik added," Really bro! Thank you so much for that." Soon others also joined them in the hug. Their happy moment was disturbed by Raghav sir and they broke the hug listening to him.
Raghav Sir: So guys, take some rest. We will meet here again at 6 pm. It's 3:30 right now. You all have 2 and half hours. Do whatever you all want but don't go far.
Everyone agreed and some people again sat on the benches in the centre and others went to their tents. Nandini and Aliya were in their tent and Nandini and Aliya fell asleep after some chit chatting. Dhruv was asleel but Manik was not able to sleep. Cavya and Mukbhi were sleeping peacefully in their respective tents. Manik slowly went out of the tent without disturbing Dhruv and went towards Nandini and Aliya's tent and smiled looking at Nandini's serene face. She looks so innocent thought he and slowly lied down on his stomach beside her wrapping his hand around her stomach. He placed a soft kiss on her nose and placed his head on her shoulder. Nandini in sleep kept her hand on his arm clutching his t shirt and then he slept after staring at her for a while. After an hour or so Dhruv woke up and found Manik was missing so he went out searching for him. He exactly knew where he was so he went into Nandini and Aliya's tent and saw him sleeping beside Nandini.
He went near Aliya and shaked her so that she wakes up. Dhruv pointed towards MaNan and she smiled looking at them. Aliya held his hand and they walked out of the tent. They went inside ManRuv's tent and sat theit cuddling each other.
Dhruv: Manik has changed so much. Hai na?
Aliya: Yes really. And I am really happy for him. Nandini is perfect for him.
Dhruv: Hmm. And you are perfect for me. I love you so much Aliya.
Aliya blushed: I love you too Dhruv.
They turned their faces to look at each other and slowly kissed each other. The kiss was slow at first but then grew into a passionate on. Dhruv fell on the mattress and Aliya came on top of him. They started kissing again and Dhruv's hand touched her bare waist due to her short top. He moved his hands slowly up and started caressing her back sending shivers down her spine. He swiftly swapped their positions and started kissing her neck, shoulders and her lips senseless. He pulled down the strap of her top and placed some wet kisses there. He licked her cleavage and all she could do was moan his name again and again. He pulled her top up and kissed her upper body passionately not leaving a single part. She was constantly moaning in pleasure but slowly so that no one can hear her voice. Dhruv removed his t shirt and Aliya came over him and kissed and licked his chest, then his neck and shoulders and then again smacked her lips on his. They broke the kiss after they were out of breath and Aliya placed her head on his chest.
Dhruv: I think we should stop here. Koi aajayega.
Aliya: Hmm..
Aliya sat straight adjusting her top and was blushing remembering their short make out session while Dhruv wore his t shirt with a shy smile on his face. They went out of the tent so that they can control themselves from crossing the limit. At 5:45 pm, Nandini opened her eyes and saw Manik beside her sleeping on his stomach wrapping his arms around her stomach and nuzzling into her neck. She could feel his hot breaths. She kept looking at him and turned herself to face him without disturbing him. She moved closer to his face and placed a soft peck on his nose and then sucked his lips very lightly. Manik smiled and slowly opened his eyes. He moved towards her face and rubbed his nose against her and moved back. After a few minutes, Nandini got up and said," Chalo Manik it's 6 pm." Manik also got up and they both went out to join the others. Soon Raghav sir with miss Naina came there.
Raghav: So students it's time to have some fun. Today we will have fun here itself as it's already late.
Naina: Yes! So students I have an idea. We will make 2 teams and play a treasure hunt.
Everyone agreed and started hooting and cheering.
Raghav: Calm down guys. And the teams will be decided by us.
He announced the teams. Team A had Manik, Dhruv, Mukti, Navya, Aryamann and some other students. Team B had Nandini, Cabir, Aliya, Abhi, Harshad and some other students.
Manik: I won't be playing this stupid game.
Raghav: What's the problem Manik?
Manik: I want Nandini in my team or else I am not playing.
Raghav: Manik stop cribbing like a child. We have decided the teams and you will have to play according to it.
Manik was about to say something in anger but Nandini held his hand and controlled him.
Naina: We will be back with the clues till then stand with your teams.
As soon as they left, Manik jerked off Nandini's hand in anger but Nandini being a stubborn girl held it again and looked at him with a smirk on her face.
Manik: What?
Nandini: I know you are scared because mai dusre team mein hu so obviously my team will win.
Manik: Oh please! You can't beat me.
Nandini: Let's see then. I challenge you.
Manik winked: Challenge accepted baby.
Nandini smiled at him but then went towards her team giving him a smirk. Raghav and Naina came there with 2 chits and gave it to the respective teams. They also announced that the loosing team will maje dinner and the winning team will rest. The game started and MaNan smirked looking at each other. Manik read the clue and within few minutes he reached the second clue. Nandini reached the second clue with her team after a few minutes. Manik was doing everything fast and Nandini wanted to win so she thought of distracting him. She smirked and went in front of him with her team and suddenly she removed her jacket exposing her bare shoulders and back due to the spaghetti top that she was wearing.
She winked looking at Manik and he was not able to take his eyes off her. She was successful in distracting him abd her team was in the lead now. Manik said to himself," So Miss Murthy wants to play games with me. Now I will show you how it's played." He smirked and started helping his team mates. After some time he was all wet due to sweat and removed the t shirt he was wearing. Nandini's eyes popped out looking at him shirtless. She also felt angry when she saw some girls ogling at him. Manik ignored others and was continuously looking at Nandini from a distance and watching all her expressions. They were away from the camp site and there were many trees around. Manik then smirked and emptied his water bottle on himself. Water was falling down from his face to his bare chest and down to his perfectly toned body. Nandini bit her lower lip looking at him and then looked away trying to control herself. She closed her eyes and took deep breathes. Cabir shaked her and said," What's wrong with you. Where are you lost?" Nandini said," Nothing Cabir. Main kuch soch rahi thi." Suddenly Harshad shouted saying that he has got the answer to the clue so everyone followed him. On the other side, Mukti also asked the same to Manik but he excused himself saying that the game was too boring. Their team also started searching for the next clue and Manik was standing there alone looking for Nandini but she was no where to be seen.
Suddenly someone pulled him and took him behind a tree were no one could see them. It was Nandini and looking at her Manik folded his arms across his chest giving innocent looks. Nandini pushed him with her hand and pinned him to the tree and came closer to him.
Nandini: What the hell were you doing there?
Manik innocently: What did I do?
Nandini: Yeh tum mujhse puch rahe ho? Why did you take off your shirt? You distracted me. Do you know how hard it was to control myself there?
Manik swapped there positions and pinned her to the tree. He trailed his finger from hee face to her neck to her shoulder and then came closer to her looking intensely into her eyes.
Manik: To tum kya kar rahi thi. You know na that you are so irresistible.
Nandini: Manik. I
Manik didn't let her speak anything and pinned her hands to the tree. He smacked his lips on her and she also responded with equal fervour. They kissed till they were out of breath while rubbing their bodies with each other. Manik then moved down and sucked and licked her neck and her bare shoulders. He gave love bites on her neck and slowly his hands moved down fondling her curves. She tried pulling him closer and after some time she pinned him to the tree and gave love bites on his neck and then kissed his chest passionately. She looked up after some time and again kissed his lips softly yet passionately cupping his face. Manik responded with equal love holding her waist tightly.
Breaking the kiss, they hugged each other tightly and said 'I LOVE YOU' at the same time. After some time, they broke the hug and started going towards the camp thinking that everyone will get tensed. As soon as they reached their, they found Team B were very happy as they won. As MaNan came towards their friends holding hands Cabir said," I told you al ki ye dono sath me hi honge." Everyone chuckled at them and after some time, Nandini whispered in Manik's ears," Wear your shirt Manik. I hate when someome else looks at you like that." She looked at the girls who were continuously ogling at his hot body. Manik ran to his tent and came back wearing a black t shirt and then joined others in the centre. Manik's team had to cook so they went in some corner where all the arrangements were made for cooking. They decided to divide the work between every member. Navya was cutting veggies with a random girl, Manik and Dhruv had to mame rotis, Aryamann and Mukti with some others had to cook the sabjis and some others had to cook rice. Everyone started their work except Manik who was making weird expressions. Rest of their friends were chuckling looking at him while he gave them a fake smile and he also started helping Dhruv. Nandini was talking with Cabir, Aliya and Abhi but her attention was completely on Manik. On the other side, Manik's face and his clothes were covered with aata and he was also glancing at Nandini again and again.
After some time, Nandini excused herself and walked towards ManRuv. Manik was about to touch the hot pan with his finger but at the same time Nandini reached there and held his hand.
Nandini: Are you out of your mind? Ye hot hoga bohot so you can't touch it with your hands.
Manik just smiled at her concern and then Nandini came at his place and started helping them. She saw that the rotis were made in very weird shapes and started laughing.
Manik: So you are laughing eh? Kitni mushkil se banaya hai maine.
Nandini: Sorry baby. But look at them. Aise shape ki roti aaj tak nahi dekhi maine.
Manik made a sad face and Nandini stopped laughing. She moved towards him and said while wipping off the aata from his face," Manik don't be sad na. Tumne atleast try kiya na. And anyways I am gonna eat it chahe kuch bhi ho. Cause it's filled of love." After that, MaNanRuv together made the rotis for everyone and soon the dinner was ready. Everyone sat in the centre and some students were told to serve the food from team B. Harshad smirked and went towards the corner where food was kept. He mixed some pills in a plate and told a girl to give that plate to Manik only. The plate was given to Manik and everyone else started having food. After dinner, Harshad went to a corner and called Aryamann and Cabir saw this so he put on his bluetooth device and heard that their conversation. Harshad told to Aryamann that he had already spiked Manik's food so he doesn't need to do anything.
Cabir: Shit!
Nandini: Kya hua Cabir?
Cabir pointed towards Manik who was sitting beside Nandini keeping his head on her shoulder and smiling. Nandini was confused but then suddenly she remembered about Harshad's plan.
Nandini: Oh shit! But Manik ne to kuch nahi piya.
Cabir: That jerk had mixed some pills in his food.
Mukti: What the hell! Ab kya kare?
Cabir: We just have to handle him. Kuch nahi hoga guys. Don't worry.
Nandini: Han Cabir is right! Umm. Guys you handle him for a few minutes. I am getting a call from Chachi. Mai abhi aati hu.
She slowly gets up moving Manik's head from her shoulder but Manik held her hand and made a puppy face. He said," Baby where are you going." Nandini smiled at his cuteness and said," I will be back in a minute. Promise." Manik left her hand nodded like a child and Nandini went to a corner to attend Chachi's call. Meanwhile, Manik was trying to escape but no one let him go. After a few minutes, Nandini was still not back so Manik was getting restless. Manik saw that no one was paying attention to him so he sneaked out from there and went in the direction where he saw Nandini had went but she was not there. Manik shouted," Meri Nandu kaha gayi. Nandu. Nandu. Where are you." Suddenly Aryamann came there and told him," Maine Nandini ki waha jate hue dekha." Manik was not in his senses so he thanked him and walked towards a tent and entered inside it to find a girl there. She was Shayna who was waiting for Manik.
Aryamann was not feeling good to do all this but he had to for his best friend. He then went towards the others and sat with them. Everyone behaved nicely with him so that he doesn't realise that something is wrong. Nandini came there and found that Manik was missing.
Nandini: Guys where is Manik?
Cabir: Oh shit! Abhi to yehi tha. Chalo hum dono usey dhundte hai.
Nandini: han jaldi Cabir.
Cabir excused himself and left a cellphone there and Aryamann smirked looking at it. He kept the phone in his pocket when others were busy in talking. He thought no one saw it but everyone had his eyes on him. Aryamann also left from there and moved towards Shayna's tent and started recording the video by peeping into the tent. Inside the tent, Shayna was getting close to Manik but he was going away from him. Shayna caressed his cheeks and her other hand was on his shoulders. Manik held her hands and pushed her away. Manik said," Meri Nandini kaha hai. And who are you?" Shayna said," Oh Manik. Forget her na. I am here for you." Manik moved away from her and said," Please go away. I want my Nandu. Wnere is she." Shayna said," Manik main hu na. You can spend the night with me. Manik didn't pay any attention to her and that girl was about to move closer to him when Manik heard Nandini and Cabir's voice who were shouting his name. He ran outside the tent and saw Nandini and Cabir who were looking in the opposite direction. He went there and hugged Nandini from behind and nuzzled into her neck. Nandini knew this touch and left a sigh of relief when she felt Manik hugging her. Nandini turned around and said," Where were you Manik? Do you know I was so scared." Manik cupped her face and said cutely," I was searching for you baby."
Nandini held her hand and said," Okay. Chalo mere sath." Saying this she dragged him with her and Cabir followed them. On the other side, Aryamann was shocked that even in drunken state Manik was not getting close to another girl. He went towards Harshad who was in their tent.
Aryamann: Dude the plan is off. Manik ne Shayna ko to touch bhi nahi kiya. Nandini aur Cabir aagaye the waha so ab wo log usey akela nahi chodenge.
Harshad angrily: What the hell! Tumne aisa hone kaise diya?
Aryamann: Chill man! It's not my fault that Manik loves Nandini so much that even in such state he won't even think of cheating on her.
Harshad: Sorry yar! I got angry. I have a plan B. Hum Manik and Nandini ka video banaka leak karenge. Give Cabir's phone to me. I will do it.
Aryamann thought," How can Harshad be so cheap? I can't let this happen. I have to stop him at any cost."
Aryamann: No no Harshad. You know na fab5 hate you so much. Kisi ne tumko dekh liya to you will be in problem. I will do it. No worries!
Harshad smiled: Okay.
Aryamann left from there and said to himself," Harshad is always ready with his cheap plans. Plan B hai to plan C bhi hoga. I can't fall so low. I have to do something. I think I should confront Cabir about this." He made a firm decision and walked towards Cabir's tent where he found MaNan, Mukbhi, Dhrulya and Navya together.
Aryamann: Sorry to disturb you guys but I want to confess something.
Cabir: What is it?
Aryamann sat down and gave Cabir's phone back to him.
Aryamann: I am sorry. I was planning to trap you guys with Harshad. He is my best friend so I was helping him. Mai tum sab par bohot time se spy kar raha hu and I really don't think you guys match Harshad's definition." He paused and saw everyone's blank expression. Manik was not paying attention to it and playing with Nandini's hand then kissed it. He then pulled Nandini and wrapped his arms around her shoulder and others looked at them with a smile. Aryamann continued," And specially Manik and Nandini's love for each other made me change my mind. I have seen them caring and loving each other so much. And also the bond you guys share. I swear maine aisi friendship and aisa pyaar kabhi nahi dekha. Please trust me. I really don't wanna harm you all." Everyone looked at him with a blank expression and after some time,
Cabir: And you think we will believe you?
Aryamann: Please Cabir trust me. I don't want to help him anymore. If I was on his side then I would not have come here.
Mukti: This might be Harshad's plan. You never know what your enemies plan against you.
Aliya: I second that. Bhai kuch bhi kar sakte hai to destroy us.
Everyone was having a serious discussion here but Manik was in his own world. He whispered in Nandini's ear which was heard by everyone," I love You Nandini. You are mine. Meri Nandu. Sirf meri." Nandini forgot everything and just blushed and hid her face in his chest and said," I love you more."
Cabir: Oh god! Yahan itna serious discussion chal raha hai and ye dono abhi bhi romance kar rahe hai.
Aliya: Cabir! Manik is not in his senses so it's not his fault.
Mukti: But I am sure if he was in senses na fir bhi Nandini se romance hi kar raha hota kahi kone me.
Nandini looked at others and said: Guys please don't tease us na!
Dhruv: han guys. Stop it.
Navya: Dhruv bilkul sahi keh raha hai. Ye dono kitne pyaare lagte hai aise.
Abhi: Yes. That's true.
Cabir: Okay fine! Manik Nandini continue your romance. Aryamann tum bolo.
Aryamann: What can I say now? I just want to say that I am out of his plan.
Cabir: But we can't trust you.
Aryamann: Fine. Mai Harshad ke samne uske sath hu but I am not helping him anymore.
Cabir: We still can't trust you. Actually hume pata tha that you both are planning against us. And this phone is of no use. Because isme jo bhi hoga I can handle it through my laptop. Tum video banate and mai yaha se delete kar deta.
Aryamann: Woah! Ye sab kab hua? I mean how?
Aliya: We have been spying on Bhai. And Aryamann you also be carefull. Because we have got our eyes on you.
Aryamann: Oh god! Just tell me what can I do to win your trust?
Cabir was about to say something when they heard Manik's voice. Manik said," Nandu I want my kiss. Please jaldi kiss me." He made a cute pout to which everyone chuckled except Nandini. Nandini said," Shh Manik. Everyone is here." Manik said," No no no. I want a kiss right now."
Nandini kept her hand on his mouth and whispered something in his ears to which he widened his eyes and smiled like a child.
Nandini: So Cabir tum kuch bol rahe the?
Cabir: Yeah! I was saying that kal tumhe kuch karna padega jo mai bolunga then only I can believe you.
Aryamann: I will do anything. Just tell me.
Cabir: Wo main kal bataunga. See you tomorrow.
Aryamann left from there and soon everyone started going back to their tents. Abhi stayed their as it was his tent, Dhrulya, MaNan and Mukya left from there. Nandini convinced Aliya to stay with Dhruv and she brought Manik inside her tent. Mukti and Navya went inside their tent.
INSIDE NANDINI AND ALIYA'S TENT.
Nandini brought Manik inside by holding his hand and he followed her like a small child. Manik: Give me a kiss na. Abhi to koi nahi hai.
Nandini chuckled and kissed him on his lips softly and he also responded back with equal passion. They broke the kiss and Manik lied down on the mattress and pulled Nandini beside him. He turned his face and she also did the same and now they were lying on the mattress facing each other.
Manik: Nandu tumhe pata hai jab mai tumhe dhundne gaya tha tab Aryamann told me that you are in some tent so I went there but tum nahi thi waha. He lied to me.
Nandini: Accha. Phir kya hua?
Manik: There was a girl who was coming close to me but maine usey durr kar diya. Because Sirf meri Nandu mere pas aa sakti hai.
Nandini cupped his face and said: I trust you Manik. Mujhe pata tha tum yehi karoge. I love you.
Manik pecked on her lips: I love you more Nandu.
Nandini just smiled looking at him but suddenly he stood up and told Nandini to come with him. She followed him and they went outside near the edge of the mountain.
Manik shouted," I LOVE YOU NANDINI." Nandini panicked and covered his mouth with his hand and said," Shh Manik. Kya kar rahe ho? Koi sun lega." Manik moved away her hand and said," I don't care. Mai kisi se darta hu kya." Nandini said," I know you are not scared. But mujhe darr lagta Manik. Please mere liye don't shout na. Please." Nandini said this with a puppy face and Manik said," Aww. My baby is scared. Don't worry. Mai hu na." Saying this Manik hugged her tightly and Nandini also hugged him with equal force. Meanwhile, Mukti saw that Navya was asleep so she sneaked out and went towards Cabir and Abhi's tent. She called Cabir and told him to come out.
Cabir: Kya hua Mukti? Sab thik toh hai na?
Mukti: han Cabir. Everything is fine. Tu na mere tent me ja Navya ke pas. She is waiting for you.
Cabir: Ahem Ahem. Sidhe bol na you want to spend the night with Abhi.
Mukti smiled: If you know it then why are you asking me. Just go na and don't disturb us.
Cabir winked: Okay. All the best.
Mukti hit him playfully on his shoulder and entered his tent and Cabir went towards Navya's tent. He saw her sleeping peacefully so he also slept beside her hugging her.
At the same time, Abhi was shocked to see Mukti in his tent so he stood up. Mukti went closer to him and started kissing him passionately and they fell down while kissing and started making out. At the same time, Dhruv and Aliya were also in the same tent and were sleeping peacefully. Aliya's head rested on his chest and Dhruv wrapped his arms around her comfortably. Meanwhile, MaNan broke the hug and started walking towards their tent.
Manik: I don't want to go baby. Mujhe yahi rehna hai. Under the stars with you.
Nandini: Manik please let's go inside. Don't you remember what I had promised you.
Manik happily: Yes I know. But thodi der ke liye hum yaha rahenge. Then we will go inside and do it.
Nandini had no other option but to agree due to his cute antics. They sat in the centre holding hands and looking at the stars. Nandini pointed towards a star and said," Look at that star Manik. It's shining so bright. More than any other star. Manik said," No. It's not the brightest star." Nandini looked at him," Toh konsa hai?" Manik cupped her face and said," You are the brightest star. My shining star jo sabse zada shine karti hai. Sirf mere liye." Nandini just smiled and said," And I will keep shining for you always." Manik pulled her into his arms and they again started looking at the stars. After some time, they went inside their tent and sat on the mattress.
Manik: Now Nandu it's time for you to fulfill your promise.
Nandini blushed and moved closer to his face and started kissing him softly and they fell on the mattress kissing each other and started making out. After a few hours they slept in each others arms. Nandini placed her head on his chest and he wrapped her in his arms tighly.
