Manik & Nandini - Stars & Fireflies 44
Its often said that actions speak louder then words and most of the times its true... And when it involves love in your heart but anger in your brain the consequences can be tragically funny...
Manik Malhotra, who is he.. The boy who fits every girls dream perfectly.. His looks, his talent make girls swoon over him..When he looks at you with those big dreamy eyes you will feels special the most special girl in this world.. But this perfect boy had the most imperfect life; a life without love.. All his life he craved for love, a love that would complete him, a love that would not expect anything out of him, a love that's just love and nothing else... And he got that love but what did he do he almost threw that away because his ego got bigger then his love.. His arrogance overpowered his heart.. But will love leave him so easily never because you always fall in love but never fall out of it...
As Manik was missing and deny Nandini in Malhotra Mansion on the other hand DJ was making efforts to bring things back to normalcy for Nandini, the one girl who held the key to Manik's heart and his happiness... DJ went to kitchen and made breakfast for her.. As DJ was busy making breakfast chachi walked in slowly to her and said "I am sorry.. I might have crossed my limits.." DJ smiled and patted her back "You are a mother..and any mother whose daughter is going through this would react...I am happy you behaved like this...but the actual fight starts from now when Nandini comes face to face with Manik.. She will break every moment and you have to be her strength.." DJ replied... Chachi smiled "DJ i don't need to be her strength she has you and Cabir so she doesn't need me.."
They all finished their breakfast and were ready to leave for college.. Cabir left early saying Manik should not see him with them as this would put their plan and his friendship in jeopardy.. Nandini went to her room to get her bag.. She wore simple white anarkali with blue duppatta and tied her hair in a side braid.. As she came down DJ saw her hair she went to her and said with a smile "Never ever let a tragedy define who you are..Fightback.." and she opened her hair.. "Perfect.." and they both drove off to the college...
It was just like any other day in Space bustling with students and music all around... DJ took Nandini straight into the class to make sure her confrontation with Manik is not early in the morning...Navya was already waiting for them in music room.. As usual they were about to start the day with aarti but when DJ asked Nandini to sing she could not.. DJ understood that she will take time she asked Navya to sing... Navya started aarti and her voice echoed all around.. Fab5 were chilling in their music room when they heard aarti.. Manik realized it wasn't Nandini and smirked thinking she gave up but at the same time there was part of him that wanted to hear her beautiful voice...He closed his eyes to calm himself down but all he could remember was her song from the day of orientation...
Manik got pissed, he picked up his guitar and started strumming it angrily.. Everyone in the group were shocked to see this but Cabir knew what exactly Manik was going through... "You asked for it.." he murmured and sat down to enjoy the show.. Manik kept playing guitar for a really long time with his eyes closed and flashes of Nandini running all around hem.. Her eyes, her hair, her smile and those lips they all kept him on the edge of his seat.. A part of her wanted to see her but then he reasoned he hated that girl to the core...
Finally Alya had enough she took the guitar from his hands and said "what's wrong with you Manik.." "Nothing now give me my guitar..." Manik was doubly pissed now but Alya refused.. Seeing that situation is getting out of control Dhruv tackled the situation saying "Guys lets go to canteen..we need a break.." they all agreed and walked off to canteen..
Fab5 were sitting in canteen and chilling.. Alya wrapped her hands around Manik and her head resting on his shoulders... just then someone shouted "Look guys whose here.. Miss Nandini Murthy.. Hey Manik your play toy is here.." Manik and the rest looked at the entrance where Nandini stood frozen in shock...Manik looked at her big, red and swollen eyes and something pierced his heart.. He couldn't look into her eyes so he looked down.. Navya held Nandini's hand and took her in.. Nandini looked at Manik blankly trying find some answers but was looking every where but her...
Navya and Nandini sat on a table across Fab5.. Soon everyone in the canteen started gossiping about Nandini... Some randon girl walked to her said "congratulations Nandini.. we have been here since one year and no one knows us but you are most famous girl in the college in just few days.." Nandini broke listening to this and Navya got angry "One word more and I swear I will kill you right here.. go mind your own loser business.." She asked nandini to get so that they could leave but it seemed nandini just froze in her place.. Seeing this a boy walked up to them and said "What's wrong she's saying.. She's after all Manik Malhotra's left over... Come on Nandini don't mind haan but can we also be friends.."
Nandini could not hear more she covered her ears and stood up but everyone around her was laughing.. Suddenly the boy got a hard punch on his face.. It was Dhruv.. "One word against her and your definitely dead.." Dhruv said.. "Learn to respect girls.." The boy tried to defend himself when Cabir chipped in said "I guess you didn't hear him properly.." and punched him once more.. By this time Nandini was unable to take this pain and humiliation further she fainted.. Just as she was about to fall Dhruv held her and shouted "Nandini.." They all panicked Dhruv picked her up in his arms and walked off and Navya followed him...
Amidst all these chaos one man was sitting quietly and he was Manik Malhotra .. Manik was silent not because he didn't care but because he was numb.. He couldn't believe what has just happened all he remembered was Nandini crying and fainting... Few minutes later a girl came running to cabir and Fab5 music room.. "Help..Help.." She was panting.. "What help.." Alya asked.. "Manik will kill him..If you guys won't stop him he would kill him please.." She pleaded.. Hearing this they all panicked and ran with her.. The girl took them all to the parking area where Manik was beating life out of someone.. He was the same boy from the canteen who was abusing Nandini.. "How dare you say that.. Shes a left over.. how dare you say that.." Manik was not himself.. Everyone had seen him angry but on one had ever seen him this angry.. Manik was spitting fire with his every punch.. Cabir ran towars him and controlled him with great difficulty.. Manik said "Listen everyone one word against Nandini next time and not a single person will be alive to see the next day.." He shouted and walked off...
