So guys here is the 3rd chap. I'm extremely sorry for posting sooo late. It's almost after a week.
Chapter-3
Everything was going good. It was a new start for NH3. But everything got ruined in just seconds. It was a debut for NH3 but nobody expected such carelessness and that too from Harshad! While singing and strumming the guitar, Harshad broke a string which created a sudden silence all around the audi. Everyone had a blank expression on their face. Even Nandini, Navya or Shahid couldn't expect this from Harshad while this jerk was just expressionlessly watching the broken string. Even fab5 couldn't accept what just happened. They were going through a mixed emotion because their chances of winning increased, the band or the band members they hated the most were now under them but also each member of fab5 was feeling sad for such a mishap on the stage.
All this while Manik really helped Nandini. Through his eyes he signaled Nandini to continue singing which would prevent them from anymore awkwardness. Nandini and Navya glanced at each other and continued the song. Manik and Nandini had a beautiful eyelock. Harshad had lost it very badly and now he could do nothing to save it. So he quietly went to his other band members and stood there silently. Finally! the song ended. It was a complete mess but NH3 received appreciation for their hardwork. They quietly descended the stage and went to their green room. No one spoke anything cause they knew this could worsen the condition.
After few performances it was time for fab5. Everyone was too excited but how could Manik perform without seeing his luchy charm so he messeged Nandini-" Hey darling! Dont worry everything will be cool but for now i wanna meet my lucky charm cause next is my performance. Hurry up sweetheart." Nandini couldn't think of anything else. Nothing was more important than Manik. So excusing herself she went to the backstage area but to her dissapointment she only saw fab4 standing, Manik was nowhere to be seen. Then she saw him already in the stage. So without wasting anymore time she directly went into the audi. As soon as she entered, both Manik and Nandini had a huge smile on their faces. Nandini through her gestures wished him all the best and gave him some cute flying kisses to which Manik responded with a smile. But those villianish eyes couldn't take this anymore abd the person directly went to the washroom. "How dare you Manik and Nandini. Now wait and watch." These were the only words that person spoke and then came iut of the washroom. After few minutes fab4 too entered in the stage. Their song was 'Mann mera' while Manik sang the song all the time Manik and Nandini's eyes were only fixed at each other. They played it very beatifully and obviously received alot of hooting and praises.
Now it was time for the results. Everyone was in the audi except fir Harshad. The result was very predictable. Shaan too anounced fab5 as the winner. They were feeling in top if this world. They had their all time favourite group hug on the stage itself and rhen Nyonika came up to make an anouncement. "Goodevening, today I am very proud that our college has won the Musicana. So there is a party at the Malhotra mansion tonight to celebrate the winning of our college esoeciakky fab5 at Musicana. I wish to see all of you there." After that Manik couldn't escape from their fab5 celebration and couldn't even meet Nandini whereas she waited for sometime but when Manik didn't turn up she left the college and went back to her home. Manik was getting too restless to meet her but to their badluck the duo couldn't meet. Manik reached his home and messeged Nandini-" Hey baby! I know that you were waiting for mr but I'm extremely sorry I couldn't come. Tumhe toh pata hai na fab5, they dont leave me alone. Agar tum mujhse baat nhi karna chahti toh I accept it but plzz aaj party mein aa jana otherwise I wont even come out of my room. Bye sweetheart."
After reading the message Nandini smiled on his sillyness and got ready in a red ankle length gown. She was looking stunning. After that Harshad, Navya and Shahid came to pick her up. Nobody talked about the incident but everyone was calm and cool. They reached the party and as she entered Manik was left awestruck. His princess was looking amazingly beautiful that too in his favourite colour. Their gazes met and a amile crept on their faces.
Even Dhruv saw her and smiled a little. Alya noticed it and teased him in person.Alya- so Dhruv, the shy lover boy is back! Don't you think Dhruv that its high time you should ask her out? Confess to her? Unn 3 flowers ki vajah de tumhara kal ka time bhi waste ho gaya.
Dhruv- No Alya not ryt now. Yahan par sab hai aur fab5 ko bhi is bare mein kuchh nhi pata. Mujhe toh pata bhi nhi ki sab kya sochenge?
Alya- uffo Dhruv tum kitni tension lete ho. Tumhare decisiins hamari choices par depend nhi ho sakte na. U need to...
Dhruv- stop it Alya. Maine bola na abhi nhi.
Alya- okk. Abhi mat bolo but danve toh kar sakte ho na. Go and ask her for a dance.
And she pushed him so he had no other option but to ask her. In the mean time Manik and Cabir were talking and Mukti went to talk to Alya.
Mukti- hey Alya! Why are you sitting here alone? Chal na Manik bhi vahan par hai.
Alya got a little tears in her eyes listening to Manik's name.
Mukti- hey babe! Kya hua why are you crying?
Alya- kuchh nhi Mukti. I'm ok.
Mukti- no. There is something tell me kya hua?
Alya- mukti, manik...
...he broke up with me but plzzz promise me ki tum kisi ko nhi bataogi abt it.
Mukti- what?? Ok i promise but yeh kab hua.
Alya- its been a while Mukti but I still miss him.
Mukti- stop crying Alya aur vaiswbhi hum sab ko pata hai ki Manik tumse kitna pyaar karta hai toh he will come back to you so dont worry and smile now.
Alya felt better after sharing her worries with Mukti meanwhile Manik saw Dhruv going towards Nandini. He observed it very keenly.
Dhruv forwarded his hand for a dance and Nandini even accepted it. They reached the stage and Nandini didn't glance at Manik for once. Manik was getting jealous and when he couldn't watch anymore he went up to Alya and offrred his hand for a dance. Alya was happy and Mukti wished her goodluck. They reached the stage too. Then even Mukti and Cabir went. Navya and Harshad came too. Nandini saw Manik and Alya together bit didn't react. Then the partners got changed and fortunately MaNan, CaVya, MukShad, and DhruLya were partners. Mukti and Harshad went away. Alya took Dhruv to a corner to discuss about their plan whereas our MaNan were happy to be together. Cavya stopped dancing and stood there to watch Manan. They both gave questioning glances to each other after watching Manan dance so intensely.
Nandini to Manik- was Mr. Manik Malhotra being jealous.
Manik- what rubbish? Main aur jealous? And why do you think that?
Nandini- yaaa tabhi toh tum Alya koblekar aaye na mujhe jealous feel karwane ke liye.
Manik- achha agar janti ho toh why did you go and dance woth Dhruv?
Nandini- Manik mujhe laga ki Dhruv tumhara dost hai isliye tum bura nhi manoge. But sorry.
Manik- well its ok I'm noy mad at you but arecyou mad at me for...
Nandini said cutting him in middle- for not coming amd meeting me after the performance?
Manik- yaah tumhe kaise pata i'm gonna talk abt this?
Nandini- Manik i know you very well. Samajhti hoon main tumhe. Janti hoon ki tumhare friends tumhare liye kitne important hain idliye I dont object and I'm not mad at you.
Manik- really? thankyou so much. So you will always understand me like this only na?
Nandini- humesha!!
Manik- humeha!!
And they continued their romantic dance.
But those eyes had witnessed this and the person angrily left the party.
