MaNan ss:tu me manques(completed)(14&15-pg41) - Page 12

" Thank you soo much manik " she said , looking at him through the car window . he smiled , a genuine smile and Nandini headed into her home , after giving him a best possible smile she could manage after her act . she went upstairs and knew manik wouldn't have left , and waved to him through her window , soon he left for college , before he could get more late because of her and would have to tell a million lies to cover up to fab5 .

He , was mesmerized by her today . he had seen the rising flame full of strength in her a few times and every time as he flipped across his memories may be, he fell in love with her more . it wasn't just her innocence or her beautiful doe eyes which had dazzled him a month back , it was her soul which left imprints on his heart .

He smiled to himself and hummed a sweet tone , walking to the canteen where everyone sat .

Cabir was ready with his one liner while everyone was puzzled with his unusual self .

" bro , don't you think the sun shone on you a little too much today ...you're all chirpy and ...or maybe is it some new "

Manik cut him off before a disaster struck the table

" come on , we're just done with a huge album in delhi , what better ?"

Nandini changed into her usual clothes and tying up her hair , she thought about how one day changed things for her , how yesterday night she had merely read a page of her mother's diary and her perspective changed .

She no longer saw the smear on her white canvas as filthy , rather she saw how easily a red paint could hide it , beautifully !

She walked to her cupboard where lay a small box , containing most treasured bits of her life , one of them being her mom's diary .

She opened the page she read last night , softly running her hand over the words , absorbing them again

"you are broken , you are shattered ,there are awful nights when you cry because you still want the roman candles exploding like constellations or want to sway yourself to the soft music . I agree the music never tastes better than in those days .but its not bad at all .

Trust me , the most valuable asset you'll ever have is - you

. travel , pick up and explore new places , open the constellation maps , spot them and laugh at your victories .

Never lose the spontaneity , for to do things in this world you'd never need the magic of Neverland or a strange elixir , but just something that you'll always find deep in your heart .

And on this way perhaps , very soon , you'll find someone as well , not because this is the right pathway rather because you are loving what you do and trust me those eyes will scream , when they are staring at your soul because you love what you do and those eyes love you ."

In a few moments all headed to their work , while at home Nandini's phone buzzed with a message

Mukti- " babe , how about some shopping today evening with alya ...heard you were a little down , it' ll cheer u up ..be ready ...@5 "

Nandini smiled , she did hang out with mukti and alya sometimes , but it wasn't so often and she could clearly trace who the mastermind behind this was and she instantly texted him a thank you .

He there , reminiscing the morning punched into his phone -
