Manik & Nandini - Stars & Fireflies 40

Love, what is love? Some say a dillusion, some say life, some say the biggest magic.. what ever it is it's the biggest mystery... When it comes to your life it gives a happiness that the world seem to be at your feet and yet love is the only thing that can give us pain..The pain that breaks us, the pain like no other, the pain that stays with us forever... The pit in your stomach that kills the butterflies, that doesn't kill you but won't let you live too... So does every love has to broken unfortunately YES...

The night before was the best dream that Manik and Nandini lived in their lives and got up with a hope for a new start for them.. DJ gave Nandini a holiday today as she had worked too hard and needed rest so Nandini went straight to the college although she wanted to go Malhotra Mansion... Meanwhile even Manik was missing Nandini not being there he got up early and was already waiting for DJ at the breakfast table.. "wow..you are here before me?" DJ expressed surprise.. "Yes! I woke up early so I am here early.." Manik replied.. Within few minutes they left for college and soon reached... Manik started looking for Nandini in her music room on the pretext of dropping DJ... "You don't have to pretend Manik.. I know you are here for Nandini.." DJ pulled his leg... "Wooh DJ.." Manik was fumbling for words when he received a text from Cabir "she's in canteen.." and Manik rushed without saying anything..

As soon as Manik reached canteen he saw Nandini and Navya sitting together and talking and smiling...Manik looked at Nandini and smiled and as soon as Nandini saw Manik she blushed... Manik went straight to Fab5 and joined them.. He sat in way where he could directly see Nandini, they both were sharing cute yet intense glances while having fun with their friends...Suddenly there was a voice that was heard from the TV sets as it was exceptionally loud.. It was Space local channel broadcast...

The voice showed a video clip and said "So guys last night we all attended the most rocking party of the year.. So lets relive some of the exciting moments again.." and they started showing the excerpts from the party but the video got stopped in between and another voice said "Lets see something more interesting.." and soon they all saw Manik following Nandini to the garden, their fight and their intense and passionate kiss... Everyone was left stunned and shocked...

Nandini could not believe what was happening.. She had tears in her eyes.. She looked all around her people were talking all hush hush and looking at her weirdly...She looked at Manik who was looking down seriously... She ran upto Manik "Manik please say something..' She was crying but Manik just won't look up or move.. He just kept looking down and rubbing his forehead.. "Dude say something.." Cabir said as he came by Nandini's side to console her.. Alya was furious "You..?" she was about to say something harsh when Manik stopped her...

"Alya.." Manik shouted.. "What is wrong with you Manik?" Alya said "this girl has maligned your image and you are.." She couldn't understand... "Shhh.." Manik said.. "Relax baby..why are you worried about that tape.." Manik put a finger on her lips "I released that tape.." Manik announced leaving everyone shocked... "What?" Nandini was baffled "Manik what are you saying.." "Yes Nandini Murthy you heard it right I released that tape.." Manik looked at her with a devlish smile playing on his lips.. "Why would you do that?" Nandini was breaking down... "Why would I do that? Good question" Manik said "Lets rewind a few weeks back where a no vice comes to this college and insults Manik, The Manik Malhotra in front of the entire college.. But hey she's no ordinary girl as she has the courage to take on Manik..." Manik kept shooting venom at Nandini killing her with his every word... "So what could break this girl tortures no..no way she's way to strong for the average games..I thought hard and found the perfect answer LOVE...Yes love could break her and see it did.." He pointed towards Nandini who by now had gone numb.. She just kept looking at Manik unable to speak and tears rolled down her cheeks...

"So here it is a lesson for everyone tries to mess with Manik Malhotra will be reduced to ashes like her... Nandini Murthy down and out forever.." Manik sais.. "But last night you said you want me.." Nandini tried to make him realize his mistake.. "Exactly I aid I want you not I love you because I hate you.. I want you to destroy you completely..." Manik laughed as he said.. "But..but that kiss..." Nandini made one last attempt.. "That kiss..uggg not bad for a first timer.." Manik said "You really think I would ever want to kiss you.. tch..tch..tch.. highly mistaken.. A giirl like you is not worthy of it but I had to make you believe.. You wanna know whom I want kiss?" Manik asked and went and kissed Alya driving a final nail in the coffin... "Sorry baby for all the drama.." He said to Alya and turned to Nandini.. "So Nandini you messed up with the wrong boy.. this is Space Academy..Manik Malhotra's palyground..my kingdom and you tried to dethrone me..bad idea and grave mistake.."

Nandini was left cold and numb.. She couldn't believe what had happened just now.. She slumped onto ground...Even Navya, Cabir and Dhruv were shocked.. Cabir and Dhruv just could not believe Manik could do something like this.. Manik looked at Nandini blew a kiss to her held Alya's waist and walked off and Nandini kept looking at him without uttering a word with tears flowing down her eyes...
