Manik & Nandini - Stars & Fireflies 91
you know what's the most beautiful thing about love? well its love everything has to be beautiful but the best part is the felling when you are in love.. those butterflies in your stomach every time you see him looking at you like you are the only thing that matter.. the breath that gets hitched and the heartbeats that stop for a moment when she smiles for you.. the whole world around you doesn't matter and what matters is just you and her.. those beautiful mornings that begin with the happiness and anxiety of seeing your love again.. those blissful starry nights when you can't sleep cause there is someone more beautiful occupying your heart and mind with their thoughts.. those sweet nothings that hold the meaning for everything.. those long eyelocks, those smiles, those blushes, those longings, those hugs, those kisses.. being in love is like getting wet in the first rain of the season after a scorching summer when everything is beautiful and everything is pure and chaste...
it was past midnight nandini was sleeping happily wrapped in manik's arms.. her nestled was nestled in the crook of his neck listening to his heartbeats and his arms were wrapped around her protectively.. manik was looking at the stars and gazing at nandini too.. he wasn't sleepy for two reasons.. first being he didn't wanted to miss the chance of watching her sleep and two he was worried what had navya said in the flight.. he was trying to recollect navya's behaviour how she was being distant from everyone.. it was like as if she was not in her senses.. she wouldn't talk to anyone; would stay alone all then time.. she skipped college most of the time and she seemed she was drunk with blood shot eyes.. "but navya doesn't drink.." manik thought.. as if was in deep thoughts nandini said in a sleepy tone "manik can we go inside its getting cold here.." manik smiled and said "yes princess".. picked her up and walked in...
as manik walked in with a sleepy nandini in his arms smiling blissfully looking her; he crossed path with one person he really wanted not to see, none other than cabir.. "whooo" cabir exclaimed at the golden opportunity to pick on manik again.. "cabir not now haan.." manik rolled his eyes.. "ab nahi toh kabhi nahi.." cabir said in a mischievous tone.. "cabir ne kaha hai kaal kare so aaj kar.. aaj kare so ab.. so right now its the time mere majnu.." and started laughing as usual... "you are so so gone dude.." manik said threatening him.. Cabir stopped laughing at his threat and said "ok how you are carrying nandini in your arms and you can't run with her so forget it.." and just as manik was about to say something they heard some rambling from the kitchen...
manik carefully placed nandini on couch and both of them tip toed to kitchen without arousing any suspicion... as soon as they entered the kitchen they saw a shadow; they moved calmly towards it.. while cabir moved to switch on the lights manik picked up a pot and moved towards shadow.. cabir switched on the lights and manik was all set to strike but they both were stunned when they realized who the shadow was.. "Navya.." they both shouted in unison.. they stood shocked to see her condition.. she was sweating.. her eyes were blood shot.. her hair was messy and she was trying to open a packet and eat it.. cabir and manik looked at each other and manik snatched the packet.. as e took a closer look at the packet his eyes bulged out "cocaine..drugs.." and these words left both the friends shocked.. cabir couldn't believe what he heard so he took the packet for confirmation and stood there frozen..
"cabir yeh hamein de do please.." navya said trying to snatch it from cabir.. "navya get a grip of yourself.." cabir said.."tum drugs leti ho.. Navya since when and who got you on these?" cabir asked navya while keeping the packet away from her.. navya enraged like a wounded lioness under the influence of drugs; hitting cabir with her hands.. finally even manik had to pitch in and stop navya from doing further damamge.. he gave her the packet.. navya snatched the packet from manik's hands and ran off... "manik have you gone mad? why did you give her the packet man.." an angry cabir asked while pushing manik away.. "cabir have you lost it.. she's on drugs.. she was craving for it and if you take it away she will turn violent and invite everyone's attention especially the one who got her on drugs.." manik reasoned with cabir who after listening somehow got his composure back.. 'i am sorry maanik.." cabir tried to speak up but manik susshed him with a brotherly hug...
"cabir i understand your reaction.. i react in more aggressive way when it comes to nandini.. but right now we need to keep calm.. I am sure the guy who got navya on drugs has some connection with nandini's stalker.." manik observed and cabir seconded his observation "yes now her weird behaviour and her threats to nandini in the flight makes sense.." manik looked worried "yes cabir and that's wat is bothering me navya is nandini's best friend and we can't do anything in london we have to wait til we are back in mumbai.. but we have to make sure we keep an eye on navya and nandini shouldn't know anything about it.." cabir nodded in affirmation and both moved back to their rooms..
once back in room manik placed nandini who was blissfully sleeping unaware of the storm in her best friend's life which would end up affecting her too.. manik looked at her face, the calm and serene face that has brought calmness and peace to his stormy life.. his heart was scared and his mind was angry on the mere remembrance of that stalker.. he vowed to protect her at every cost even it meant his own life cause for him there was no life without her.. he vowed to protect himself for her cause for her there's nothing beyond him.. they were just two bodies with one soul, one heart and some shared breathes... manik took her in his embrace trying to hide her from every evil.. and she even in her sleep knowing his warm touch she clung on to him more tightly.. :how did i managed without her.." manik wondered...
finally the night made way for the day and manik's sleep was broken by dj's thunderous voice "manik and abhimanyu malhotra.." leaving the malhotra boys baffled and confused.. soon they both were standing in dj's bedroom with the rest of the gang their ears on door for some morning fun... "you two brothers are impossible.. even after me warning you both you just won't listen na.." dj said trying hard not to laugh in front of her romeos.. "but Dj what happened?" abhi tried to fake innocence.. dj creased her forehead "abhi don't act innocent.. i know what you guys did room swap even after i said no..." dj tok her anger out on abi.. "oh come on dj.." manik tried to pacify her but dj stopped him showing her hand and said "manik malhotra you absolutely have no right to talk.." manik rolled his eyes and dj continued "abhi you are elder to him it was your responsibility to make sure that he would behave.." abhi looked at dj and said "as if he would listen to me..".. dj waved her hands in air with an unbelievable expressions leaving the boys chuckling under their breathe..
abhi turned around and opened the door and the whole gang who were leaning against the door for entertainment tumbled down like a pack of cards.. fisrt one to fall was Cabir then follwed by mukti, nandini, alya and dhruv.. "woh..woh.." all of them found themselves searching for words.. "this whole gang is hopeless.." dj declared and they all went out quietly.. soon everyone was laughing on manik and abhi once they reached the hall.. "tum dono ka kuch nahi ho sakta.." dhruv laughed leaving manik surprised "buddy tu bhi.." he rolled his eyes and looked at nandini who was also laughing "aur tum.." pointed towards her and continued "chalo mere saath.." he held her hand and walked out leaving others laughing behind.. the rest of the day passed with the rehearsals as the competition was just two days away... it was 2 pm when they all were seated in the garden soaking in the sun when alya walked out dolled up and seeing her dhruv too got up and said "bye guys.." "bye.." they all said in unison.. "dhruv promised me to show westminister abbey; i have never been there in london.." alya said excited and cabir said "how will you see chruches and manik are east and west in fact none of us have visited any church in london.." alya smiled and said "but dhruv has so he has promised me that he will show me.." and they walked off..
while all of them were discussing the churches of london manik observed nandini's face fell hearing manik's dislike for churches.. he stood up and said "nandini get ready we are going out.." nandini gave im a confused expression and said "where?" "uff stop asking questions and now get ready.." even abhi asked mukti to get ready so that they also could go out and have some cozy time.. watching everyone leave gave cabir the perfect opportunity to get the truth out of navya..
soon manik and nandini were in manik's car and driving.. "manik where are we going?' nandini asked him for the nth time and manik smiled in reply for the nth time.. "uff aisa kya secret.." she said and finally manik spoke tucking the hair behind her ears "nandini you will love it till then enjoy the view.. waise you are looking absolutely stunning in this outfit.." hearing the last sentence nandini blushed instantly.. nandini was wearing a pink floral palazzo pants and whit knit top with pink cardigan where as manik complimented her in blue jeans black shirt and black leather jacket.. soon the car stopped and manik said here we are.. nandini looked around and almost shouted in excitement "st paul's cathedral.." she looked at manik with happiness and a little doubt as how he know she wanted to come here..
Manik smiled and opened the car door.. he gave her his hand which she took readily and taking her in side hug said "i saw your excitement when everyone was talking about churches and also the sadness when you knew i didn't like them.. true i didn't like them as never had any reason to believe in god but now i have.." he pointed towards her and said "now i want to pray nandini with you..for you and for us.. so princess lets begin our london diaries from here.." he said while taking a selfie for their slam book and took her in..
St Paul's Cathedral is an Anglican Cathedral.. The Cathedral's most prominent feature is a 120-foot-wide dome made of curved steel beams, covered with a clay tile surface and overlaid with copper. nandini was gaping at the church with disbelief and as soon as they went in her eyes widened... the cathedral was designed as such thatall visitors would be able to see and hear the Mass.. there are twenty four large windows in the dome and rose windows in the transepts flood the interior with natural light... nandini looked at the ceiling and was amazed with the beautiful paintings and the architecture... watching her observe everything made manik smile and hugged her even more closer and walked towards the Sanctuary the main altar.. as soon as they reached the altar nandini bent down on knees and folding both her hands and closed her eyes for prayer.. and soon she felt manik hugging her from behind.. she opened er eyes to see him sitting on knees holding her from behind.. his hands wrapping her hands for prayer and keeping his chin on her shoulders he said "as i said i wanna pray wit you for us.." and they both closed their eyes to pray for a lifetime of togetherness..
after spending some more time at the cathedral watching the shrines and chapels manik and nandini finally came out of the cathedral..by the time they came out it was already 8 pm and nandini was hungry.. "nandini let's eat out today.." manik said and she nodded happily.. soon they found themselves seated in Strada, one of the finest italian restaurants near the cathedral.. "manik this is beautiful.." nandini said as she held his hand and continued "thanks for making this day memorable for me.." manik smiled and said placing his hand on hers "nandini you made my whole life special this is just a day.. and princess there is no place for a sorry or a thank you in our relationship.." soon they finished their dinner and drove back home.. as nandini had an eventful day she fell asleep resting her head on manik's chest and nestled up in his arms as he took the wheel with one hand and the other wrapped around her..
as soon as manik entered the mansion with nandini in his arms he found the whole gang waiting for him with serious faces... 'what happened guys?" manik asked.. abhi asked manik to make nandini comfortable first and them come down for a chat.. manik quickly went up and tucked her in bed and came down.. "manik it s harshad.. its harshad who is behind all this..navya's drugs and nandini's stalker.." cabir informed leaving manik shocked..
love is like a wild flower.. it blossoms when you least expect it to and fills your whole life with its sweet smell.. yes love is like wild flower rare to blossom but when it does it makes the life beautiful..
