Manik & Nandini - Stars & Fireflies 94
They say love doesn't need words.. its expressed by the smile and blush of a girl which travels from her eyes to her cheeks.. they say you know a boy is in love when he looks up to a girl as if she's the only person in this world.. when he looks at her as if she's the bearer of his existence.. they say love doesn't need words to express but sometimes we need to say those three words that could be the reason for someone's very existence..
soon all of them found themselves in mansion.. they all were tired with the activities of the day but the sweet success made their tiredness worth.. their bodies were tired but their hearts were far from even close to the thought of being tired.. they all ran into the main sitting area of the mansion placed the trophies on the coffee table and they all scrambled around the table for space to get the perfect selfie to be uploaded on their sns pages.. a lot of pictures were clicked and uploaded.. it was a euphoria like no other... as they were busy in getting the selfies clicked and pulling each other's legs and having non stop fun DJ's voice brought their attention to her "i know you guys are very very happy and today you made me very very proud.. I feel privileged to have mentored such brilliant students.. we have competed against the best and honestly i never hoped that we would win but we did won and you all have made me and space proud.." Dj's voice choked with emotions and seeing her teary eyed abhi and manik ran to her..
she took both of them in side hug, wiped her tears and continued "though i am proud of all of you but i am a little bit more proud of my two boys abhi and manik who stood by me and supported me in every way they could.. i know you guys have planned a gala celebration but no celebration is complete without a chocolate cake.." saying this she ordered the butler to bring in a huge chocolate cake.. "woww.." was the only thing heard in chorus.. they cut the cake feeding DJ first and then then feeing and playing cake holi with each other and of course clicking few more selfies with those cake faces.. "ok kids have a good time i am just too tired right so see you all in the evening..." saying this DJ singed off for the night... as DJ walked to her room abhi came to manik and whispered something his his ears and as soon as manik heard his smile grew wider and he hugged is brother out of happiness.. the girls stood confused as to what was happening..
"what's cooking between these two guys?" mukti pondered as she always has been the most curious soul to solve mysteries.. "Mukti! relax.." nandini chuckled.."its some brotherly talk.." alya seconded nandini and both girls started off laughing over mukti's sherlock antics.. "nandini.." "nandini.." navya's voice broke the girls session and all their hearts went out for her seeing in that condition.. she was a mess with messy hair, dark circles under her eyes and her eyes were blood shot.. everyone wondered if those were drugs or was she crying.. "nandini! i want to talk to you.." navya continued unable to see an eye to eye to her "can I have a moment in private with you?" navya asked hesitantly... just as nandini was about to nod in agreement and walk off with navya manik's stern voice came in "nandini is not going anywhere with you in private.." manik stood next to nandini.. "but manik.." nandini tried to say something but manik looked at her and she knew arguing with him is pointless.. "manik humein pata hai ki tum hamein pasand nahi karte.." navya said.. "nahi navya you are wrong its not about ki main tumhe pasand karta hoon yaa nahi par main tumhein nandini ke aas paas trust nahi karta.." manik cleared off navya's and everyone's doubts as he took nandini in his embrace wrapping his arms protectively around her.. "so whatever you have to say please say here.."
navya sighed as she knew manik was right she has lost trust all of theirs... she was about to break down when cabir came and took her side "its ok navya.. you don't have to feel guilty.." "cabir are you in your senses?" dhruv said "Dhruv its ok..' manik replied instead of cabir "if i will defend, fight and protect nandini then cabir too has the equal right to do it.. he loves her.." manik's words left everyone in shock including navya.. there was a complete silence no one knew what to say or how to react.. finally after gathered and some courage and started off what she wanted to say "nandini, manik i wanna say sorry to both of you.. i know what i am doing is very wrong and its my mistake that i let harshad use me.. i liked harshad from day 1 and when i realized that he likes you; i started hating you and manik both.. so much so that i cursed you both and look where that got me.." navya broke down as the truth came out which broke nandini even more.. a best friend failed to understand another best friend...
nandini stood there shocked and bruised by navya's words.. she held manik's arm tightly as she needed the strength to stand the betrayal handed by her best friend... "i hated you and a part of me was secretly happy when manik hurt you but when i saw manik actually loved you very much and harshad's obsession with you was never ending my hatred for you grew and that's where harshad got me and hooked me up to drugs and asked me to keep you away from manik at any cost here but as luck would have it manik uncovered the truth and i am sorry nandini.. i didn't wanted to do that but it all just happened.." nandini was too shocked to react and realizing this manik put words to her thoughts and said "navya she is hurt.. you were her best friend in space.. the first friend too.. she trusted you more than anything and you also needed to trust her.. love should help us become a better human being but the infatuation and attraction you had for harshad blinded you so much that you choose not to trust her.."
manik's words hit navya like daggers in the heart but she knew manik was right and nandini unable to hear anything more hid herself in manik's chest shedding few silent tears... manik hugged her tightly and continued "so navya you just can't hurt your friend and come and say sorry and seek redemption.. you have to make efforts.. once we reach india go to rehab and get yourself clean of drugs and start off new.." navya couldn't say anything more, she hung her head in shame and walked off slowly... manik made nandini sit on the couch and he sat next to her.. nandini was crying hard, she was broken by her best friend "how can she not trust me.. can't she see i was never interested in harshad.. how could she do this to herself..?" she inconsolable not because navya didn't trust her but because of her navya got herself into such trouble... Manik wiped her tears and took her into a bone crashing hug as he knew sometimes we need gestures to prove where words fail.. after being in a hug for what seem like forever manik broke the hug and said "nandini don't blame yourself for navya's condition.. yes navya didn't trust you but you are not to be blamed for it.. you are one in a million nandini murthy and i am not saying this because i love yes i do but because it is the truth.. you changed a guy like me so navya she can easily change as she has a good and pure heart.." manik's words acted as a medicine for nandini.. he cupped her face and continued "nandini you saw good in all of us when there was nothing good in us.. give navya some time and all will be fine.. and i promise you i will get her in the best therapy.." he assured nandini.. to make the atmosphere light alya chipped in saying "guys let's party and celebrate our big win and our togetherness.." abhi seconded her and continued "nandini we all are your friends too so won't you smile for us.." nandini nodded in a yes and smiled faintly but manik knew this was not the smile he wanted to see on her face and he knew what exactly he has to do...
half hour later they all assembled in the out house as they didn't wanted to disturb navya and DJ.. DJ on manik and abhi's request made sure that harshad left the country as soon as the competition ended but before leaving he warned manik off the consequences.. all of them were happy dancing, getting pictures clicked, pulling each other's legs.. it was a merry and happy time for them where they forgot all that they were dealing that life has thrown to them and they were just living in the moment.. but nandini was still sad and hurt.. she came to the party for her friend but her heart ached at navya's words and this didn't go unnoticed by manik.. soon he messaged all the fab5 members and abhi something which they readily agreed with a smile.. nandini was sitting on a cane chair at the corner of the room watching manik enjoy with his brother and friends.. soon the lights went off.. "Manik..manik.." nandini shouted and panicked on not finding him or anyone... a flash light fell on her blinding her.. and then came the sound of drum and guitars and few familiar voices...
Hey surma lagaa ke
Latein uljha ke
Haath jiya pe mal-mal
Tere chhajje ke niche khade hain
Phans gaye jaise dal-dal
Manik sang with his signature wink and swag and nandini's eyes popped out...
Tere chhajje ke niche hi khade hain
Phans gaye jaise dal-dal
Cabir and dhruv joined manik as the boys sang in chorus leaving nandini all shocked...
Gulabo.. zara itr gira do
Gulabo.. zara itr gira do
manik sang as cabir and dhruv lifted the chair she was sitting on...
Tauba tauba tu to mitha sa murabba
Tauba tauba tu to shehad ka dabba
Bhen ki takki oye
Wow so lucky oye
Sab ki dain aur tu bole dhabba
alya sang and danced around nandini teasing her and by now nandini was blushing hard and looking at manik for making the efforts for her smile..
Cocktail menu me bas tera naam - in the bar
Poster chhap gaye nikle - ishtehaar
mukti too joined the fun and sang
Abki baar - oye
Teri sarkaar - oye
Chipak chipak lets kiss you pooh in the car
she pushed nandini in manik's arms where nandini hid herself unable to stop her blush..
Surma lagaa ke
Latein uljha ke
Haath jiya pe mal-mal
Tere chhajje ke niche hi khade hain
Phans gaye jaise dal-dal
O tere chhajje ke niche hi khade hain
Phans gaye jaise dal-dal
they all sang in chorus dancing around manik and nandini and by the time the song ended nandini was laughing like crazy forgetting all her sorrows.. she hugged manik and all their friends took them in hug...
the party was in full swing when nandini received a text from manik "go to our room.. you will find a dress..get ready and the car is waiting for you outside.. its our special night nandini... manik.." a big smile adhered her face as soon as she read the text and ran into the room.. she found a huge box elegantly wrapped in a red colored paper.. she unwrapped the gift and found her favourite lost book "the love story by eric segal.." with a note.. " step 1 to our magical night... this book and you made me realize how beautiful love is.. i realized how selfless and magical love is... this book bonded us in an unshakable "forever" and as I said this forever is bigger than any forever.. PS I ----- You.. (saving the best for the last.. get ready car is waiting... nandini smiled as she saw the same prada evening gown.. she quickly changed herself into the peach colored one shouldered parada gown with rose sleeves.. she wore a peach diamond studs and nude make up and ties her hair in a loose side bun leaving bangs falling on her face from all over... she wore a nude stilettos and quickly ran down..
as soon as she came out she found dhruv waiting with the car.. "dhruv!" she asked all surprised.. he smiled and said "you look breath taking nandini.." "thanks" she replied.. "now step 2 to your magical night.." he said and took out a huge bouquet with red roses and note that read "roses are red.. violets are blue.. You ---- me and I --- You.." she smiled and dhruv opened the door and chauffeured her to the london eye... nandini's excitement and happiness was growing every single moment.. she was overwhelmed with the efforts manik took to make their special night the best night of their lives... "wow.." said nandini as she reached the london eye... dhruv opened the door "here we are miss murthy your destination.. have a great time.." she winked at her and drove off...
love happens to us when we least expect it.. love happens to us when we stop looking for it.. love happens to us when that one person walk into our life and changes everything around us without actually changing anything.. love happens to us when we stop for a moment and think "how did i survive without him/her.." love happens to us when life happens to us.. yes love comes to all of us so open your hearts to love and say it out loud to that one person who is your world..
end of part 94...
ciao...
