chapter 10
Finally they had reached back, she was tired with amount of travelling and trekking, yet all throughout the way back, she kept on blabbering about her trips in US with her appa , all the stories of her childhood while Manik was smiling and listening carefully to each word of her.
She walked off to her home, only to enter her room and wave him off .
There she was tossing in the bed, replaying the day in her mind
Suddenly her mind struck a thought she had read long time back
"Legend has it, that when you can't sleep at night, it's because you're awake in someone else's dream "
"Wow!" She sighed, smiling to herself
"Wait, why did she want to be in his dream? "
Her mind questioned her heart
Poor the tiny heart of hers , was already starting to pump his name in to her veins
While her intellectual mind bothered itself for long, pondering.
while he on the other hand was back to his iphone tweeting

The next early morning, she woke to a beautiful day and stood in the kitchen making two cups of coffee.
She took the chocolate sauce and was busy when suddenly a sudden pat on her back startled her
" you , Manik , you scared me "
"oh , I thought Nandini murthy wasn't scared of anyone "he said smirking
And leaning on the kitchen slab, standing next to her
"so, you knew I was coming "
" noo , I didn't " she tried to word herself properly , but well the faade was falling .
" soo you're drinking two cups of coffee , was yesterday night so hard .huh?" She meekly smiled, while her brain was busy contemplating about how he knew about her hard night!
She handed over the coffee to him swiftly and walked to the balcony
He looked at the coffee with a cute smile drawn on it , he smiled seeing the latte art she made for him today morning .
"Oh lord , how many times would he make him fall for her ?"
These cute gestures would definitely consume him someday!
They both stood in the balcony drinking the coffee
Comfort silence it was .
conversations that are soo deep , that words aren't required - when you bodies ,your eyes , your beating hearts , your souls do the talking for you , more than the words
it just makes you feel safe , a sweet safe tingling feeling .

Manik's pov
I walked to her locker room , although our courses were poles apart .
But you know who Manik Malhotra is right?. If you don't..Then you better !
She was standing there pushing her books into the locker, making cute pouts now and then as her petite form wasn't able to handle the heavy 5 books she was holding.
I sprang and held the books for her and she smiled.
While still busy, she asked "you're here!"
"I thought may be a movie after the college could do "he smirked, ruffling my hair
I HAD JUST ASKED OUT THE GIRL I LOVED , THE GIRL I LOVED SINCE MORE THAN A MONTH NOW .
My mind still comprehended if my move was right? if she wouldn't like it ?maybe it was too fast for her ? Was it ?
I opened my mouth to reassure her, in case she planned not to come, just then she spoke
"umm, could you wait , I have to submit this assignment . I' ll be back In 10 minutes maximum " she spoke , biting her lower lips and shaking her right leg with a frenzy .
I smiled, it was her . She was surely nervous. Very nervous
She passed a vibrant smile to me , while walking away with the assignment .
When suddenly I heard some girl talk
" Manik , is he interested in Nandini ...like cabir's sister Nandini ?"
Ignorance is bliss I decided and walked off , yet the way things were going with us , I was sure that tomorrow when cabir could be back , he would surely notice the different vibe between us two .
He would , because he is cabir and he knows it all .
Nandini's pov
I submitted the assignment and walked off to the washroom, trying to gather myself to a little better form . I reapplied the balm on my lips and tuck my hair and looked at myself again in the mirror
Would I look good to him ? Would I be good enough for him ?
Maybe. Just a maybe

We both were seated in the theatre watching "fast and furious 7 "and in every some time exchanging glances.
Noone's pov
It was late night, they both had dinner and soon enough he was outside her some
She got off, when suddenly even he got off from his side and leaned on the car
"Nandini , wait naa "he spoke subconsciously
She looked at him dazzled
"Let's talk for some time "he justified
"hmm "
And while they both talked, very stealthily Manik had taken her hand in his and was caressing it .
Nandini wasn't unaware. She was loving this .
She had always felt homely with him.
She trusted him.
She smiled taking her hand off slowly."Manik, its late now, Bhai s coming tomorrow morning , you should go home "
"hmm"
She turned back, to leave when suddenly she got pulled back onto his chest and in a second , she felt a warm upsurge on her right cheek
He kissed her cheek
And then she knew
That you could be
Homesick for people too !
She was red , maybe tomato red .
While he stood blushing, leaning on the car , she walked into her home without looking back
For the smile on her face wasn't leaving even for a second and she was crimson red
You were you
I was I .
We were two ,
Before our time .
I was yours ,
Before you knew .
And you have always.
been Mine too .
- Always
