<font face="Calibri">NANDINIS POV -:</font>
<font face="Calibri"></font>
<font face="Calibri">I just ran out of there ...i was running from the biggest dream of my life which has turned the worst nightmare of mine ..MUSIC ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">While running I collided with a table in the canteen ...and because of it a chair fell down ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">But I didn't paid any heed to it ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">As for now I just want to crash on my bed and cry my heart out ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">I wanted peace ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">I reached the parking area and just took my car and left for my home ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">I messaged navya about my leaving and told her that I got a headache ..yet I knew she will understand like always!!!!</font>
<font face="Calibri">I entered my home ...chachi asked me what happened ??..but I just rushed to my bedroom ...i shut the door after me and collapsed on the floor and cried hard ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">Sometimes crying is good !!yeah it is ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">Because it reduces the unbearable pain ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">Tears flow from our eyes as pain is flowing out from our HEART !!</font>
<font face="Calibri">Afer sometime I got up and moved to the storeroom ..</font>
<font face="Calibri">I reached there and opened the cupboard ...and here it is ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">MY BROKEN GUITAR ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">I remembered how that day whwn mom died papa threw it on the floor sand it got broken ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">I left out a painful laugh remembering that day ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">It was indeed a horrible day !!! </font>
<font face="Calibri">I actually lost my everything ...every damn thing that day ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">I lost my mom !! I almost my father !! and most importantly ..i lost my DREAMS ..I lost my life MY MUSIC ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">That day only this guitar was not BROKEN ..</font>
<font face="Calibri">That day my dreams were broken ..they were shattered ..</font>
<font face="Calibri">My heart was broken ..</font>
<font face="Calibri">My soul was broken ..</font>
<font face="Calibri">And it is broken till today ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">And here I am trying my best to fix everything ...but its just not happening ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">I am tired of running ...running away from myself ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">Thak chuki hn ...pretend kar kar ke ..that its all okay ..when its all messed up ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">By now my tears had been stopped a long ago ...as they are also tired of flowing ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">Wo hasi sapne ...Wo saji manjile ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">Sab toot gaye ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">Dil mein junoon tha ..Sab ka sath tha ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">Sab peeche choot gaye ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">I looked at the broken strings ..and smiled ...syill they are like this desperate to to ring ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">I wiped those dried tears from my cheeks and sat on the floor holding that guitar in my hand..</font>
<font face="Calibri"></font>
<font face="Calibri">MANIKS POV -:</font>
<font face="Calibri"></font>
<font face="Calibri">I was playing my guitar in the canteen ... I love music as in my life music is the only thing which gives me peace ..</font>
<font face="Calibri">I was playing there and people were enjoying ..</font>
<font face="Calibri">But I got distaracted by the sudden thud sound ..i looked towards the direction and saw nandini running out ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">Why is she running like this as if she has saw some ghost ...??</font>
<font face="Calibri">What happened ?? </font>
<font face="Calibri">That boy ..has he done something again ??</font>
<font face="Calibri">What is wrong ??</font>
<font face="Calibri">Is ok ??</font>
<font face="Calibri">I was curious to know ..</font>
<font face="Calibri">I got up from the table on which I was sitting and ran after her ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">I followed her and saw her leaving from college in her car ..</font>
<font face="Calibri">When she was opening the door ..i noticed her tears ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">Was she crying ?? ofcourse she was !!</font>
<font face="Calibri">I don't know why seeing her like this pierced my heart ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">I never felt like this before how I feel with her ..</font>
<font face="Calibri">Something different ..something new ...i don't know what it is ..but it is something ...!!!</font>
<font face="Calibri">Yesterday too ..it was a very different feeling ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">In the furniture shop I was very close to her ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">I so wanted to kiss her ...until she go out of breathe ..</font>
<font face="Calibri">If she wouldn't have stopped I would have definately kissed her ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">But what she said that she won ..lyk seriously ??? stupid girl ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">Today too I wanted her to share about that guy too me ..</font>
<font face="Calibri">I don't know why ?? but I just wanted to know ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">I wanted her to tell me ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">My chain of thoughts was broken as I listened cabir calling me from back ..</font>
<font face="Calibri">I turned around and saw him with navya ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">" bro ..whats up ?? tu idhar kya kar rha h ??" he asked me ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">And even I don't know what I was doing here ..</font>
<font face="Calibri">Umm ..i was following her ..but why ?? </font>
<font face="Calibri">Why does she affects me ??</font>
<font face="Calibri">I cant tell cabir that I m here following nandini ..so I further asked him " meri chod ...tu bta tu yahan kya kar rha h ??"</font>
<font face="Calibri">And he seemed distracted ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">" woh !! nandini messaged navya that she got a headache ..so she left ...and she took the car with her ..so I m just going to drop navya " he said ..</font>
<font face="Calibri">When did she got a headache ??</font>
<font face="Calibri">And she was tou crying ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">Then why did she lied ..?? </font>
<font face="Calibri">Now I was more curious to know ?? what happened ??</font>
<font face="Calibri">I need to see her ..actually I wanted to see her ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">" han !! tou ..come I w2ill also come with you guyz ...you know she is my classmate ..i mean she was fine then all of a sudden what happened ?? so I will also come with u ppl nto see her " I said so innocently that even I was shocked by my tone ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">Navya agreed inwstantly and cabir gave me a suspicious look ...which was almost expected ..</font>
<font face="Calibri">As Manik Manhotra never cares for anyone !!</font>
<font face="Calibri">Before he asked me something I quickly grabbed my keys and got in ..in my car ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">Cabir took the passenger seat ...and navya sat at the back ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">While sitting inside cabir gave me a what -are-u-upto-look ?? but I ignored it simply and strated driving ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">------------------------------------------------------</font>
<font face="Calibri">We reached her home ...and navya rang the door bell ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">An aunty dressed up in a sky blue salwar and kurti opened the door ...she saw us and greeted us with a smile ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">Maybe she was nandinis mother !!</font>
<font face="Calibri">"chachi yeh cabir h humara dost ..and yeh manik h ..nandu ka classmate ..." Navya introduced us ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">Chachi smiled and welcomed us in ...and then left for the kitchen for making something ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">I saw navya going behind chachi..she stopped her " chachi nandu kahan h ??" she asked </font>
<font face="Calibri">chachi...</font>
<font face="Calibri">Chachi said nothing amd just blinked her eyes and smiled sadly ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">Navya too gave her a helpless look ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">What is happening dude ??</font>
<font face="Calibri">Where is nandini ??</font>
<font face="Calibri">My curiosity was just increasing to know where is she ..</font>
<font face="Calibri">I wanted to know the reason behind her tears ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">Huh !! </font>
<font face="Calibri">But wait ...again ...arghh !! why I am curious to know about her ??</font>
<font face="Calibri">This girl is definitely getting on my nerves ..</font>
<font face="Calibri">She is driving me insane !!</font>
<font face="Calibri">This is so not me !!</font>
<font face="Calibri">But I chucked those thoughts as now I just wanted to see nandini !!</font>
<font face="Calibri">Navya came back and sat with us ...she started chatting with cabir on some of her subjects and cabir too got engrossed with her completely ignoring my presence ..</font>
<font face="Calibri">What the hell ??</font>
<font face="Calibri">I need to do something ...nandini where are you ??</font>
<font face="Calibri">Then I saw a beautiful ..very cutee little girl coming out of a room holding a doll in her hand ..she was licking her thumb and seemed confused ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">She came towards navya and patted on her shoulder with tiny hands to gram her attention...</font>
<font face="Calibri">Navya turned towards her and smiled seeing her ...and quickly adjusted that girl in her lap ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">"didi ..ye log kon hn ??" she asked innocently ..</font>
<font face="Calibri">"so cabir and manik meet riya ..." She introuced her ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">And cabir shook hands with her and I just passed a little smile ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">She got down of navyas lap and adjusted herself on the front sofa beside me and started playing with her doll..</font>
<font face="Calibri">Wait !!!</font>
<font face="Calibri">She can help me ...she can tell me where is nandini ??</font>
<font face="Calibri">Think manik think ...how ...??</font>
<font face="Calibri">And suddenly an idea stucked on my mind ..</font>
<font face="Calibri">I smirked and got up ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">"navya !! I am just coming ..."I informed her ..and made my way to the kitchen..</font>
<font face="Calibri">I entered the kitchen and saw chachi cooking something ..</font>
<font face="Calibri">She saw me and asked "aree ...kuch chaiye tha kya manik beta ??? "</font>
<font face="Calibri">"Nhi chachi wo!!! Mein hath dhone...umm ...hand wash karne aya tha ..." I said trying my best to sound genuine ...and said with a smile ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">"achaaa !!! achaa!! Beta ..wahan pe dho lo !! " she said pointing towards towards the wash - basin ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">"hmm" I said twitching my lips in a smile ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">I moved towards the basin and saw chachi again getting engrossed in cooking ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">Finally !! huh !! I got the opportunity ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">I quickly opened the fried and to my luck I got as chocolate inside ...I quickly grabbed it ...keeping in my mind that chachi wont saw me ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">And she didn't ..</font>
<font face="Calibri">I slid the chocolate inside my pocket and then washed my hands ...ofcourse noticing that chachi must see me ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">I came out of the kitchen passing chachi a cheesy smile ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">Well done !!!!! I mentally patted my shoulders for being such a smart thief !!</font>
<font face="Calibri">And then made my way to execute what I thought ..</font>
<font face="Calibri"></font>
<font face="Calibri">I came back to the hall and saw navya and cabir still chatting and laughing on god knows what ?</font>
<font face="Calibri">"But good for me" I murmured to myself and smirked ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">I looked towards riya ..she was still busy playing with that doll and was shaking it with her tiny tiny fingers ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">I smiled seeing her !! she was cute !!</font>
<font face="Calibri">I sat beside her and said "hi " trying to sound very exited ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">" hey !!"she said looking towards me and again got engrossed playing with her doll..</font>
<font face="Calibri">What the hell ?? </font>
<font face="Calibri">She is ignoring me ...the manik manhotra ..</font>
<font face="Calibri">But I need to do this ..</font>
<font face="Calibri">I want to see nandini !!</font>
<font face="Calibri">"how are you ?? " I said again seeking her attention ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">And finally she placed her doll aside and noticed me ..</font>
<font face="Calibri">" I m fine !! how ale uh ??" she asked me with a smile ..</font>
<font face="Calibri">" I m good !!! ..woh !! will you do me a favour ?? " I asked her very innocently surprising myself ..</font>
<font face="Calibri">She cringed her eyebrows cutely and the raised her eyebrows asking me what ??</font>
<font face="Calibri">" wo !! can you tell me where is nandini ??"I asked her ...in a hope ..she may tell me ..and quickly slid that chocolate out of pocket and waved it infront of her ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">She saw it and her eyes started sparkling ..but all of a sudden she gave me a angry glare ...and said " this is my chocolate ..navya di gave me ...apne kyun chulaya ??"</font>
<font face="Calibri">And I swear for the first time in my life I got scared ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">I smiled faintly ...just like a studid person...murmured a sorry .. and pleaded her by my eyes to tell me where is nandini ??</font>
<font face="Calibri">She changed that angry expression and smiled again ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">" its okk !!! ..nadini di is upstails ...left side second wala room .." she told me slowly ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">I grinned like a kid ...on knowing finally where is nandini ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">I got up quickly and was about to rush upstairs but felf someone pulling my coat ..</font>
<font face="Calibri">I looked down and saw riya pulling my coat with her little little fingers ..</font>
<font face="Calibri">I knelt down and asked her " what ?? " ..</font>
<font face="Calibri">" don't forget !! to bring me chocolate next time ..!! its due .." she said and ran back to her room holding her doll ..</font>
<font face="Calibri">I smiled heartily ..on that ..</font>
<font face="Calibri">And then made my way upstairs noticing cabir and navya that they wont see me ..</font>
<font face="Calibri">I reached her room ...but she was not their ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">Then where is she ??</font>
<font face="Calibri">Oh god!! What the hell ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">I left that room ..</font>
<font face="Calibri">I searched in other rooms but she was not their ..</font>
<font face="Calibri">I stopped near the stairs thinking ..where is she ??</font>
<font face="Calibri">And that's when I listened the sound of guitar ..</font>
<font face="Calibri">Someone was trying its best to play it ..but the voice was really harsh !!</font>
<font face="Calibri">I followed the sound ..</font>
<font face="Calibri">I reached towards a room ...and peeped in ..</font>
<font face="Calibri">And what I saw really pierced mmy heart and made me conbfused ..</font>
<font face="Calibri">I saw nandini ..sitting on the floor trying her best to play that broken guitar ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">There were dried tears on her face and her eyes were quite swollen ..maybe because of crying ...</font>
<font face="Calibri">But I don't know why ??</font>
<font face="Calibri">It hurted me to see her like that !!</font>
<font face="Calibri">I finally composed myself and knocked ...</font>
