Scene1---*-----(garden)-----*----
Manik brought his face closer to nandini and took a selfie.
*click *
With that click the butterfly spread its small colorful wings and flew away.. Both smiled seeing that.. Then they looked at each other.. Nandini was blushing hard.. Manik was smiling endlessly. Manik took a step towards Nandini .. She got nervous.. Rain drops were falling on her lips.. She sucked her lips. Suddenly Manik's phone rang and Nandini got scared..
Manik smirked and said " relax.. phone bell h.. thunderstorm nahi" .. Nandini recalled their hug and turned being embarrassed and nervous. She bit her lower lip and slightly pat on her forehead..
Manik on phone" ahh.. yes sir.. we are coming".. And he hung up.. Listening this Nandini turned and in her nervousness said " raghav sir the na.. Aaiappa.. Main kaise bhul gai.. Ma'am must be searching me in the hostel.. Itna time ho gya.. How can I be so irresponsible.. Main..."
Manik " nandini.. Calm down. ten minutes hi late hain"
Nandini freaked" Ten.. Ten. Minutes.. Oh aaiappa..ten..."
Manik held her shoulders and said " Nandiniii.. Calm down.. Take a deep breath"
Nandini was taken aback by his touch.. She turned her head to look at his hand that was on her shoulder.. Manik followed her gaze and was also taken aback.. He removed his hand from her shoulder.. He sighed, then leaned towards her.. He looked into her eyes and asked in a very soft husky voice " why are u so nervous..?"
This made Nandini more nervous.. She gulped her saliva and uttered " it is.. It is.. my first time na.." being lost in his eyes..
Manik being confused " first time?" while leaning back..
Nandini came out of her sub conscious state " Wo.. Wo.. First time.. Matlab.. This is my first time .. That.."
Manik narrowing his eyes " hmmm.." Nandini innocently " That m late for a class.."
Manik smiled at her innocence... Nandini bit her lower lip and said to herself while looking away " aaiappa.. He smiled.. his smile is making me so nervous.. Aise nervous hoti rahugi toh he will get to know that I ... I... "..
Her eyes grew wider and a smiled came on her face.. She bit her lower lip looking at him and said to herself " I am in love with him". She was lost.
Manik waved his hand in front of her and said " Nandini..where r u lost..?"
Nandini to manik " m late.. M going... bye.." taking steps in backward direction.
Manik "aree.. are.. nandini.. listen. I am also coming." . But she turned and ran away without wasting a second..
Manik " practice k lie late.. Like seriously.. Itna darti h ye phoolan.." not believing the reason of her sudden escape..
Nandini had a broad smile on her face.. she said to herself " i never knew love me itna
restless feel hota h.. I
m so restless because of you manik." she was
breathing heavily..
Manik smirked and said " i never knew love me itna
peace hota h. Finally
i have found my peace in you Nandini" while looking at her.. And he
sighed with relief.

Aryamann and Soha walking through corridor..
Aryamann to nandu on phone " gf don't be so nervous . i know you will rock the stage..(pause) but stay away from him.. Be with your teachers.. (Pause).. okay take care.. bye..". He hung up.
Soha cleared her throat.. And said "so possessive..". Aryamann " shut up bebo"
Soha " acha ..When r u going to tell her..?" Aryamann " why we always discuss about my love life.. What about yours?"
Soha laughed loud and then composing herself said " bhai.. I don't believe in love.. U know it.. ye sb bakwas h.. U have seen mom and dad.. They are always fighting.. Ye love.. Ye sb... This is all bullshit.. "
Aryamann " to why u keep on asking me k main Nand..." .He stopped seeing Harshad there..
Harshad " hey guys..whats up?"
Aryamann " hiii.. nothing .. just roaming.. Well i have a class in five. You guys talk.. I see u later.." . Harshad smiled and said " okay".
Aryamann left from there.
Soha to Harshad " so what r u doing here in the dance wing?" and she moved to the auditorium. Harshad said " was looking for you.." following her..
Soha surprisingly " really.." while walking speedily towards the stage.. Suddenly she slipped and was about to fell.. But Harshad had caught her in the nick of time. Soha smiled, composed up herself and tried freeing her from harshad's grip. But to her surprise Harshad didn't let her go..
Soha being confused " Harshad.. What r u doing.. Leave me". Harshad smirked and said " i heard what u said to aryamann.. Our thinking is same.. I also don't believe in love." Soha jerking him away from her said " so.?"
Harshad " so I think.. We two can have some fun together.. U know what I mean.."
Soha smirked and said " Fun.." . She continued " i thought since you are nandu's friend so u must be a nice guy.. But to my surprise u are not.." angrily looking at him.
Harshad surprisingly "what did u say..? Come again.."
Soha " u heard it right.."
Harshad "and that's because I asked you directly.. right? But soha what about u." soha looked at him being confused.
Harshad continued "That day u were wooing Dhruv. What was that..?" Soha looked at him in disbelief and said in a loud voice "you took me wrong.. That was just for fun".
Harshad smirked saying "that's what I am saying. Let's have some fun. Come on. Don't spoil it. I know girls k "NO" ka matlab "YES" hota h.." .. He moved towards her and touched her bare shoulder..
Soha fumed "How dare u Harshad..? " raising her hand on him. But Harshad held her hand in time and twisted her hand. Soha winced and tried jerking him away but she couldn't.. Suddenly Harshad felt a hand on his shoulder..
A voice came " har ladki ka "NO" , "YES" nhi hota harshad..
Scene3--*--(competition venue) ---*-----*-----------
Raghav had asked Manik and Nandini to rehearse in separate rooms.. They had been rehearsing for 3 hours.. Manik was restless to see Nandini..
Kamini after listening Nandini's song " bahut acha Nandini . manik aaya hi hoga..ab wo aur aap saath me ga k sunaege.. main abhi aai." and she left..
Nandini to herself "His presence is making me so nervous.. I won't look at his face.. Yes " and she immediately shut down her eyes and started rehearsing..
Suddenly manik entered in the room and smiled looking at her.. Nandini heard the footsteps, opened her eyes and saw him.. She stopped singing. .
Manik in a soft voice " sing naa.. Ruk kyu gai.."
Nandini looked away and tried recalling the lyrics but she couldn't .. (pyaar k side effects)
Nandini to herself "oh no! my heart is racing so fast. But aaiappa it's not the right time... I should focus on music." still looking away.
Manik to himself "this is the right time.. focus on her Manik" and he walked to her and sat down on the mattress, just next to her.. Nandini was still stealing her looks..
manik to nandini " waise .. why are u hiding your face all the time?"
Nandini who was trying to recall the lyrics was taken aback. She looked at him and asked " why did u ask me not to show my face?"
Manik " why were u annoyed at me and ignoring me?"
Nandini recalled their kiss at the camp and blushed. But immediately composing herself she gave an excuse " why.. Why did you try to make me drink forcefully at freshers party?"
Manik playfully asked "you were annoyed bcz of that incidence.!! Like seriously! It was 2 months ago i guess.."
Nandini was caught.. She looked away and uttered "Wo.. Wo.."
Manik again playfully "Han. Han.. Bolo bolo.." and smirked..
She looked at him.. Manik looked up and continued " And as far as I rememberrr... Camp me toh humne scores EVEN kr lie the ... no?" narrowing his eyes ..
Nandini immediately " okay. Scores EVEN ho gye aj tak k sare. Now we should focus on music" looking down. Manik smirked looking at her.
Scene 4 ------**---------- (SPACE academy ) -----------**-------------------
Aryamann while dialing nandu's number rushed out of his classroom.. Suddenly he bumped into someone and his phone and his book fell down. He looked at the person and found that it was Aaliya. Aaliya looked at him, nodded her head in disbelief and said "you again!!". Her bag had fallen down..
Aaliya and aryamann both bent down and together picked up his book.. Aaliya being annoyed in a loud voice " I guess we have some "BOOK connection." Aaryamann confused "BOOK connection?"
Aaliya smirked and while giving a fake smile said "yes. BOOK connection.. The first day I saw you I lost my favorite BOOK. Second time when I bumped into you, my BOOK fell down and now third time it is your BOOK".
Aaryamann smirked and while giving a fake smile said "I think you love reading BOOKS. And I am a philosophy student. May be destiny wants us to write some beautiful STORY together".
Aaliya got more annoyed. She almost shouted "stop bumping into me Mr. aryamann khanna"
Aaryamann raising his eyebrows "oh! You remember my name. But you said you are not interested knowing my name"
There was a silence for a moment. Both were still holding that book.
Aaliya annoyingly "whatever!" and she stood up leaving the book.
Aaryamann also stood up and said "the more ANGER towards the PAST you carry in your HEART, the less capable you are of LOVING in the PRESENT.." Aaliya was speechless and surprised..
Aryamann looked at his book and said "aisa main nhi.. Aisa is book me likha h. wonderful author -Barbara de angelis..."
Aaliya somehow managed to ask "why.. Why do u telling... all this to me?."
Aryamann " those who live as a prisoner of their past can never move on. Just free yourself from all the bars.. Just renew yourself.. Love yourself.." he took a pause and said " aisa book me nhi likha... This is what i believe ".. Aaliya was dumbstruck.
Aaryamann looked for his phone and found it lying on the floor. He picked it up and walked out of the scene. Aaliya kept looking at him...
Scene 5----*(music room"competition venue)-------
Nandini on phone worriedly "maddie.. U called and disappeared..(pause) muje theek se sunai nhi dia but I heard a girl's voice (pause).. maddie tell me right now.. (pause) Maddieee "..

Suddenly raghav came. Nandu on phone "sir aa gye.. I'll call u later"
Raghav " guys.. I just got to know Zahenaseeb already ek group perform Kr rha h.. i think we should prepare some other song"
Manik freaked " what.? 7 o' clock performance hai. Kisi new song k lyrics ,music, composition yaad krna is not that easy.."
Nandini " Manik relax.." Manik stopped..
Raghav " i know.. Already sune hue song me koi b flaw nikal skta h.. that's why m worried .."
Nandini thought for a while and said " sir.. Give us one hour.. We will prepare a song and will get back to you in an hour." leaving manik's mouth open.
Raghav raising his eyebrows " u sure?" Nandini nodded. Raghav walked out of the room..
Manik was looking at her in disbelief . Nandini took out a diary from her bag and stood up.. She turned a few pages and said " mil gya.." Manik was still confused..
Nandini took out a paper and pen from her bag and sat far away from manik.. Manik kept looking at her.. She started noting down something on the paper from her diary..
Manik "hello.. What are u doing?" Nandini "shhh" Manik " what shhh"
Nandini clenched her teeth and almost shouted "manik.. don't disturb me.. Chup rho.."
Manik to himself " dude.. Are you sure u love her.. This phoolan.."(LOL)
Nandini stood up and sat down next to him.. She showed him the page and kept her diary away from his reach.. Manik read the paper and smiled. Manik " wow.. This is cool.. Good song for a Duet.. Tum likhti b ho..?"
Nandini "Kbhi kbhi"
Manik thought for a while, smirked and said " But we can't sing this song.."
Nandini with her eyes wide open" but why? U said it's nice."
Manik gave an excuse " but.. But we don't have music ready for it.. Lyrics hi to hain"
Nandini excitedly " toh let's just try making some good music for this song"
Manik showing fake attitude " why do u think I will listen to u.?
Nandini to herself " he is so kadva.. Nandu are u sure tu is se pyaar krti h?" ( lol)
Manik acting smart said " okayyy.. Toh let's do a DEAL"
Nandini innocently " DEAL?"
Manik "ya deal. I'll help u but after performance we will go for a WALK.."
Nandini heart again started racing fast.. She uttered " manik.. Walk.. Walk kis lie.. And Wo bi mere sath?"
Manik bring his face closer to her.. Nandini held her breath. Manik said in a low voice " just want to explore more" . Nandini in a low voice "explore. what.?" lost in his eyes.
Manik backed off and said "This place.. Of course.. And.. And u r not that bad company" he smirked..
Nandini came out of her trance and gave an excuse " manik.. Wo.. Wo.. Sir won't allow us.."
Manik " i don't need his permission.. you tell. Do u want to go or not?"
Nandini stood up and took a few steps towards window.. Her back was facing manik.. Nandini to herself " i want to go but i can't .. I am already so nervous.. and walk pe. Akele.. No. No.no. I should go a bit SLOW "
Nandini uttered without looking back " manik..try to understand"
Scene 7---*( SPACE academy ---auditorium)------*------
Harshad turned and saw Dhruv's hand on his shoulder. He left Soha's hand and jerked Dhruv's hand from his shoulder.. He shouted "Look. This is our personal matter. U stay out of this"
Soha was surprised seeing Dhruv but Dhruv didn't look at her.. He was giving angry looks to Harshad.
Dhruv " u can never change harshad.. Stop judging girls by their clothes. If she said NO then that means No" while looking in his eyes. Harshad fumed..
Dhruv looked at Soha, held her hand and dragged her from there.. Harshad and Soha were surprised. Dhruv had taken a few steps just then Harshad said " oh.! Lovely.. Seems like Soha is successful wooing you.." and he smirked.
Dhruv stopped and clenched his fist in anger. Harshad continued " What were you saying Soha.. You wanted to have Fun with Dhruv.. See , Dhruv is here.. now you can have that ..."
And before Harshad could complete his sentence, he received a solid punch on his face from dhruv.. Harshad clenched his teeth and pushed him back saying " u fool".
And within a minute both were fighting like hell.. Soha was tensed.. She was constantly telling Dhruv to back off. But he didn't listen.. Soha called Navya.. Suddenly FAB3 came there.. And were shocked. Cabir pushed Harshad away from Dhruv. Harshad was breathing heavily and giving stern looks to Dhruv..
Harshad in anger " if I want then I can teach a good lesson.. right now.. U remember the very last Competition.. The day your hand was bleeding like anything " while looking at Dhruv..
Fab4 were shocked.. Harshad " yaad aaya.. I only had changed those guitar strings" and he gave an evil smile..
Suddenly they heard navya's voice " harshadji aur kuch b galat Kia h toh Wo b bta dijiye.." ..
Harshad was shocked.
Scene 8--*--- ( competition venue)-------
Manik blackmailing Nandini " DEAL Kro.. YES hai to i will help you.. Or elseee" .
Nandini made a worried and innocent face and said " okay". She was biting her lips.
Manik "u will go with this puppy face?" Suddenly manik's eyes fell on her diary..
Nandini who was not looking at him and was lost in her thoughts " Han".. Manik grabbed her diary.
Manik "what Han.. First SMILE and then say YES" while opening the diary.. Nandini making a face " don't be stubborn.. Kaha na i will go" still looking away..
Manik read from the diary "
MY LOVE SONG.".
Listening this Nandini was shocked , she looked at him with her widened eyes and almost shouted "manik.. This is my personal diary. Band kro ise". And she rushed to manik.. Manik immediately stood up.
He raised his hand straight upwards keeping the diary in that hand.. He teased her " personal diary..wow. By the way the lyrics of your LOVE SONG are too different"
Nandini jumped high trying to get back her diary said " give it back..manik.." . Manik laughed and said "first SMILE and say YES "
Nandini annoyingly " I won't smile.. huh.. Give it back na.." again jumping high.. Nandini kept jumping but she couldn't reach him.. And manik kept laughing.
Manik acting cool said " keep trying..".
Nandini gave up and said" this is not fair.. U r so tall".
Manik " me? tall?? No.no.. Kaha main tall.. Actuallyyy... u r too short.". And laughed loud.. Nandini got more annoyed. She folded her hands across her chest , made an angry face and looked away..
Manik stopped laughing , composed himself and thought " dude.. Patane se pehle naraz ho gai ye to"
Manik to Nandini" okay.. let's make it EVEN for both.. Forget this DEAL , let's play a GAME.. I am closing my eyes..and I won't move from this place.. But I will keep moving my hand.." indicating his hand in which he had held the diary.. He continued "You can use that chair and can take your diary" pointing on a chair..
Nandini thought for a while , showed him eyes and said " fine..huh.."
Manik acting innocent " But no cheating Han.. I don't like it.. When I m ready , then only we will start.. Okay"
Nandini still annoyed " fine". She brought the chair and stood on it.
Manik smirked, closed his eyes and stood straight with his hand raised upwards holding that diary..
Nandini" say it na...". Manik acting innocent "what?" with his eyes closed.
Nandini being impatient " that u r ready.."
Manik " ohhh... achaaa.. 2 minutes han.. Let me clear my throat.." and he started his acting.. Nandini looked at him in disbelief.. Nandini shouted " manikkk" clenching her teeth.
Manik laughed and said "ok..ok.. m ready "
And the game started.. Sometimes manik was passing the book from his one hand to another.. Sometimes he was moving his hand away from her reach.. Nandini was busy focussing on the diary.. And Manik was cheating keeping his one eye a little open.. Manik was trying hard to stop his laughter. Suddenly Nandini's eyes fell on him. his one eye was opened. Nandini screamed " Manik Malhotra.. U cheater.. ". And she hit him on his shoulder.. Manik was laughing like anything.
Nandini gritted her teeth and again leaned to hit him. But Nandini felt a jerk and she was about to fell ..
She screamed " haaa.." .
manik leaned and held her waist in the nick of time.. The diary fell down on floor.. Nandini's foot were placed on the chair.. But her entire body weight had been shifted on manik.. Nandini had closed her eyes out of fear.. Manik was looking at her with much love in his eyes.. Their faces were too closed.. She was breathing heavily.. Manik was feeling her warm breath on his face.. He gulped his saliva..
Nandini opened her eyes.. She looked at his face.. He had a very different smile on his face.. His eyes were twinkling like stars.. And he was looking straight in her eyes.. Nandini's heart started racing fast..
Manik looking into her eyes " u won't smile.han?" Nandini lost in his eyes innocently nodded in a NO while constantly blinking her eyes.. Manik smiled and pulled her more closer.. She was breathing heavily..
Manik in his intense voice still looking into her eyes "then.. shall I drop u?"
Nandini lost in him " I am not afraid of falling untill m with you . I know u won't ever let me fall.. I trust you.." Manik was taken aback.. He recalled the moment when he had pulled Nandini up in the jungle from the pit and she wasn't afraid of falling..
He recalled the moment when he had asked Nandini not to TRUST him, he had rudely behaved with her.. He recalled her face , her TEARS..
Manik corrected his poster and made her stand straight..Manik " let's practice" while walking away..he took his guitar and started tuning it. Nandini was confused at his sudden change of behavior..
Manik to himself " ab se I will never hurt u.. I will make up for every mistake i did in past.. I will make u SMILE.. I will make you say YES with a SMILE on your face. . And this WALK will be a
walk to remember.. "
