Manik & Nandini - Stars & Fireflies 53

Manik held a resisting Nandini's hand and dragged her out of the auditorium with him.. Nandini was shouting all the while "Manik leave my hand.. let me go.." but it seemed Manik was not ready to listen... Every member of Fab5 was shocked except for Cabir as he anticipated this... Cabir knew no matter how hard Manik tried to make the world and himself believe that he hated Nandini it was the exact opposite.. And somehow deep down even Manik knew that Nandini belong to him and he belonged to her but his ego was too big to accept the fact that its not the fighback but surrender in love that makes the life beautiful...

Cabir smiled and gestured Dhruv to walk out.. They all went back to their music room.. Manik's behaviour has broken Alya once more.. Mukti came to her and asked "are you ok?" Alya didn't reply anything, took a deep breath and said "yes I am fine Mukti..." and smiled.. "Sometimes we don't get what we want Mukti not because we are less fortunate but because maybe there is something better out there for us.." and the two friends hugged each other...

Meanwhile Manik dragged Nandini straight to the dance theater.. "What is wrong with you Manik?" Nandini screamed.. "What is wrong with me?? Or should I say what is wrong with you?" Manik too screamed.. "Me?? What did I do?" Nandini was angry and confused.. "Why did you let Abhi to hold you?" Manik was furious.. "Is that even qualified as a question Manik? I was falling and he helped me.." Nandini replied.. "No still why?" Manik said.. "manik stop being childish.." Nandini reasoned.. "Ohh ok..then why didn't you stop him from kissing you and hugging you.." Manik's anger was crossing all limits and so was Nandini's

"two things Manik.." She said angrily.."First of all he was being courteous and nice to me and that is not called kissing ..Not everyone is like you and secondly I am not liable to answer you.." Nandini was angry.. "Oh really that is not kissing.. Then what it is?" Manik said.. "Kiss is what you and I shared under the stars and which you used to complete you stupid mission.." Nandini screamed pushed Manik away and ran off from there.. Manik stood there motionless.. Ever since that video came Manik had never thought or remembered that kiss...

"The kiss under the stars.." Manik said to himself and the images of the night played before his eyes...The dance, the fight, the kiss and the talk all playing on a loop in front of him.. He relived that night again and felt his knees going weak and took a chair's support and sat there blankly...

Meanwhile Abhi took DJ to her office.. "What's going on DJ?" he asked her.."I've seen Manik angry, rude and many more things but this is different.. His anger has jealousy, his anger has a fear..his anger has love.." Abhi continued.. "Is he in love with Nandini?" Abhi asked surprised... DJ looked at him and smiled.. She took a deep breath and told Abhi everything... How Manik and Nandini met and how Nandini is his stranger and how he betrayed her and broke her and how much courage nandini is showing to win back her self respect and love...

"Unbelievable!" Abhi said "This boy needs a brain transplant for sure..I mean he got love true love and he has almost thrown away.." Abhi was surprised "how could he do it.. His ego I always knew it would create problems and look where it got him and Nandini, what crime that girl did she fell in love with this idiot.. But now what next?" Abhi asked DJ.. DJ smiled "Wait till you know what next.." She texted Dhruv and Cabir.. Soon Dhruv and Cabir walked in DJ's office and Abhi was shocked "wooo so these guys are helping nandini great.."

DJ told Abhi their plan to make Manik realize his mistake and get back with nandini.. DJ was way too happy "You know as per Dhruv's guess Manik came to me to talk to replace Nandini as Dhruv's partner cause he cannot see her with anyone.." "Wow so all is working according to plan.." Cabir exclaimed.. "Yes Cabir it is..Dhruv thanks beta.." DJ seconded Cabir...

"Wait DJ wait.." Abhi said.. "Not so fast..you guys are underestimating Manik.." "What do you mean we don't know him.." Cabir said.. "Yes that's exactly what I am saying.." Abhi replied.."Manik loves you all more then his life and there will be a point when Manik sees Dhruv and Nandini all smiling and happy he will back off DJ because he loves Dhruv too much.. And that will break him and eventually Nandini too and from that point there is no going back.." Abhi said.. Abhi's words made everyone sit and think.. They knew how much Manik loves his friends..

"So now what?" DJ asked in a sad and worried tone.. "DJ don't be sad..Every cloud has a silver lining.." Abhi hugged her "Manik need to see Nanidni with someone he dislikes so he will fightback for his love.." Abhi reasoned.. "But whom?" Dhruv asked.. "Me.." Abhi said. "You.." All of them said in unison.. "Of course Manik hates me.. So if he sees Nandini with me he will be so jealous that he will fight for her...and guys even I may have a chance with Mukti.." Abhi winked.. "Oh so you wanna have your way too.." DJ held his ear.. Aww DJ please it hurts.." Abhi said... Cabir who was in deep thoughts till now said "Actually this is awesome.. Abhi trying to be close to Nandini will do its trick.." and they all looked at each other and smiled...
