CHAPTER 19after having a hearty chat and a round of leg pulling everyone decided to leave for maniks house,whereas aryamann tuk his leave,biding everyone a gud nite with a sweet hug and hugging nandini for comparetively more time,which of course did not go unnoticed by manik,everyone reached his house
the whole gang was down,for after having a drinking competiton absolutely no one was in a position to leave apart from nandini and manik who were continously sharing cute eye locks
n:umm..manik,i think i shud leave,inko yahi rehne do,jaane ki halat mein nai hain
m:haa,ok,come i will drop u and there is no need to argue coz m not listening to u
nandini sheepishy smiled on his caring attitude and then they left
manik was driving and he felt a strange kind of peace with her,they were peacefully driving when nandini said
n:manik stop the car na
m:huh!!parr tumhara ghar toh abhi tak aaya nai
n:hmm..nai aaya parr hamne kab se saath baith ke baat bhi toh nai ki hai
m:miss vashishth it seems ki aapka dimaag kharab ho gaya hai,raat ke 1:30 baje u want to stop on the iddle of the night and talk?
n:arghh..manik just do what m saying
m:ok ok
with this he stopped the car,nandini came out ,climbed on top of the car and laid down
m:nandin yeh kya karri ho,neeche aao
n:ohhoo manik,tum upar aao
manik had no other choice but to listen to nandini
n:isnt it beautiful,moon and all,stars,they r so beautiful
m:hmm...i love stars
n:i love fireflies
m:fireflies??tumne kabhi bataya nai
n:bataya toh tumne bhi nai,u know jab main dehradun mein thi,mere bachpan mein na wahan bahut saari fireflies aati thi,i used to adore them,they were so tiny,yet so powerful,powerful enough to lighten up the path
m:hmm...they teach us to be strong,they inspire us to always lighten up our path
n:nope,not for me,mere liye they had a different inspiration
m:ok,aur woh kya tha?
n:every time they lighten up,uske baad,they again lose their light,they dont teach us to lighten up our path,they teach us to never give up,and for an instance show us the real world,the darker one,they tell us that not always acn we live our lives in light,dark is also a part of us,so there is no need to run away from it,live with it,u never know when the world living in darkness mite turn out to be beautiful
m:what?mtlb?
n:mtlb yeh ki,without this darkness,light has no meaning,the one we critisize is the reason the other survives,the one we adore,u know it teaches us something,u never get the reward of what u truly deserved,the world fails to see the real talent,it luks at the one who is more glittery and sparkling,iss duniya mein tareef ussi k milti hai jo uske kabil nai,bahut kam hote hain jinhe woh milta hai jiske woh haqdaar hain,but never doubt urself,coz the truth whichmysterious to the world,is an open book in front of u,u r the reason for the importence of his light,without u he has no meaning
nandinis words as usual blowed manik away,away from his world,out to the space,he was baffeled,unable to analyse what to say
n:y do u love stars?
m:bcoz they were with me,always,they didnt leave me like my parents,they twinkeled with me every night,every night i felt scared of the darkness,they showered their love on me,they gave me light,they gave me a hope to move on,everyday,they r the ones who promised to be with me always
n:i will be there for u manik,always,and with this nandini luked at manik\
on hearing nandinis words manik was overwhelemd,he luked at her,the way her angelic face shone in the shadow of the moonlight,at that moment he found in her what he never found in anyone,his star,his lighting star
with this both of them once again luked up at the night sky and manik slowly yet affectionately held nandinis hand in his hand,and nandini tightened the grip assuring manik,she was there with him,she will always be there for him,leaving a smiling yet blushing manik behind
NEXT MORNING
it was the most awaited night,the whole college was filled with a eeling of enthusiasm and excitement,everyone was impatient to know the result,among this exciting moment,a girl was continously moving to and fro in her green room,and that girl was no one else but our very own nandini
NANDINIS POV
god!!aaj kya hoga,pehli baar m gonna perform,agar maine koi galti kardi toh?
"koi garbar nai karogi,cool down my nandu"
nandini turned around and saw fab5 standing over there,and theowner of the voice was manik himself
c:right,arre minion,darr kis baat ka,u toh know u rock,and have u forgotten what minions say
and everyone together said
I DONT TRY TO B AWESOME,IT JUSTCOMES NATURALLY,a lin which nandini always said
this brought a smile on her face
n:of course,m the best
and everyone with this had a grp hug
mu:chalo guys,jaake nav,aru aur abh ko bhi wish karna hai
m:yeah um log jao,main aata hoon,everyone left and manik luked at nandini,he kept a hand on her shoulder and said,
m:dont worry ur gonna rock and hugged her,he then breaking the hug seductively brought his face close to her ears,sending shivers down her spine and said"all the best,make me proud,MY NANDU"giving emphasis on the word my nandu and then quickly pecking her cheek left
