PART 18
manik got down from the driving seat and opened the passenger door for nandini. nandini got down from the passenger seat with a sweet blush on her face, looking down. manik smirked watching her glowing blushing face from the time they left the beach. she had his coat around herself and he thought she was looking really beautiful with it.
manik closed the door for her and stood infront of her. nandini was looking down and blushing hard. he had locked his eyes on her. manik touched her cheeks which made her look into his deep brown eyes. with his other hand he entwined their fingers. he caressed her cheeks and tucked the wet hair strings behind her ear. nandini broke the silence between them
n=manik... its quite late, mujhe andar jana chahiye
but he was in mood to move his gaze from her. instead of letting her hand free he took a step forward and reduced the gap between them a bit more. her heartbeat skipped as he took one step closer to her. she trusted him. what happened between them was special for both of them. his each and every touch was special for her but it was also a fact that she wanted all this to go slow. none of them knew the reason behind their closeness, why they felt connected to each other, why they wanted to be with each other so much..
nandini came out of her trance when manik called her for the third time
n=huh???
m=maine toa tumhara hath kabka chor diya ha
she looked at her hands , they were free and manik too was standing a bit far from her smiling at her.
n=ab woh.. main...good night manik
m=good night
he replied in a polite tone and nandini went inside her apartment. manik smiled to himself, watching him being so much decent was surprising to his own. he took his phone and texted cabir
...
nandini entered her house and found it was calm and quiet which meant navya was sleeping. she peeped into navya's room and yes she was fast asleep. nandini quietly came inside her room and locked the door.
she took off maniks coat and hugged it tightly.. till now she had been controlling her smile, her excitement but right now it was only Her !! jumping on the bed, dancing along with the coat, sitting in front of the mirror and watching herself turning into crimson, hiding her face with her palms... suddenly her phone buzzed. she quickly opened her phone and yes it was him
"Thanks for a wonderful evening"-- Manik
her smile grew even wider.. she collapsed herself on the bed lying on her back and hugging his coat close to her chest...slowly drifted into sleep
...
manik entered his house with his not so familiar different smirk on his face only to be encountered by his dad who was in the study
m=dad..you're still awake???
raj=ha woh... was waiting for u son
m=dad??? sab theek ha na?? you're fine???
raj=main toa theek hu, but theres something wrong with you
m=me?? nahi toa..um completely fine dad
raj=accha?? but whats this new smirk and smile on your face???
manik blushed and ran his fingers through his hair
raj=okayy.. so someone is blushing hard???
m=dad...ap bhi nah kuch bhi bolte ho
he tried his best to avoid his dads gaze from him and so began to walk away.. towards his room
raj=manik,..
he stopped while climbing the stairs but didnt turn around
raj=i wanna thank that girl because of whom my son in actually happy now, mera ashirwad usse dedena
manik smiled and came to his room after locking the room. he remembered the beach moments while walking towards the balcony. he stood near the railing and looked at the stars. from today stars have become even more close and favourite of him, because today he shared his feelings and fascination towards the stars with her. Then manik remembered what his dad told him, and yes he would convey his message to nandini the very next day
...
cabir and druv were sleeping in their room when suddenly manik entered. he rolled his eyes as he knew exactly this would be the scenario he would get to see once he enters the room. without saying anything or making any further sound, manik turned on the Music system and in a moment both of them sat up with a jerk listening to that outburst music.
c=teri problem kya ha yaar?? sharifo ki tarah neend se jagah nahi sakta kya?? mukti ke sath reh reh kar sari tameez bhul gaya ha
cabir said with a frown on his face and rubbing his eyes
dr=buddy tu yaha?? itni subhah subhah?
m=if you both have forgotten then let me remind you, humne sirf talent parade jeeta ha, but still we have to finish our album.
c=ha toa karlenge na, whats the big deal??? album kya bhaga jaraha ha..we have signed it
m=yes thats why and let me also remind you... next week khurana wapas araha ha, america se and we have to submit him our songs..so yeh sab sleeping drama band karo and freshen up within 10 minutes.. humhe practice karni ha college jakar. mukti and alya are on their way
c=tujh jaise dost se accha ha koi dushman mil jaye
saying cabir got down from the bed and went inside the washroom. druv too went to the guest washroom. manik went to the kitchen to make some coffee for three of them. while taking out the coffee pot, his eyes fell on the jar of Chocolate powder. having flashbacks of the "Hot-chocolate date" according to his dad, manik started to smile. suddenly he remembered he didnt send her any text .
...
nandini opened her eyes lazily hearing the constant vibration of her phone. she took her phone and saw the alarm was ringing. she switched off the alarm and looked at herself, she was lying on her bed in the clothes of yesterday night and that too holding his coat. His coat, she realized she had been hugging it all night when suddenly her phone buzzed. she opened it and saw his message. It was a picture message which contained a mug of hot chocolate. nandini smiled and replied back
...
cabir came to the kitchen to grab some breakfast when he noticed the two coffee mugs with one hot choco cup
c=tujhe kya hogaya?? tu kabse coffee ke badleme yeh hot choco peene laggaya ???
m=woh actually...
manik's phone buzzed and he opened it immediately
Nice start of the day.. Good morning :) --- nandini
manik smiled watching her text which made cabir realize the reason behind his smile and this "Hot - Choco"
c=accha..toa yeh hot chocolate ke peeche nandini jee ka nam ha hana???
manik rolled his eyes and didnt reply to cabir's question . cabir smiled and joined manik in the living room
m & c=cheers
c=wase ek baat bata... whats the current scene??
m=what scene??
c=chal ab chor yeh drama karna.. tujhe acchese pata ha about which scene um talking.
manik pretended to ignore his words and concentrate on his mobile
c=theek ha, i think mujhe abhi uncle se hi baat
m=nahiii
manik shouted and cabir bursted into laughter
c=tu toa ese darraha ha jaise main teri school ki report card uncle ko dikha dunga and jisme tere marks ekdam kharap aye ha
m=cabir..shut up...
c=dude seriously..i mean chal kya raha ha?? i mean i know ke kal raat tum dono akele the.. kuch special time spend kiya but... what is the latest update of that special moment
m=hogaya tera?? abhi keliye no update.. jab hojayega then bata dunga
c=are par..
at that moment druv joined them and manik smirked as he knew cabir wont bring up nandini's topic in front of druv
...
SPACE
nandini was walking along with navya when she bumped into harshad. watching her in front of his eyes that too smiling and happy made him even more furious
n=ow harshad.. hi kaise ho??? sab theek ha na??
harshad gave her a glare
n=you know something navya, some people think themselves to be very much smart and intelligent but in reality they are nothing but a total zero
h=listen nandini you..
n=no you listen to me, like seriously how could you harshad?? i mean tumne kal jo mere sath kia ha uske bad tumne khud hi prove kardiya ha ke tum manik aur fab5 ke samne khare honeke kabil nahi ho, you are a total coward. agar himmat hoti toa yeh sab nahi karke face to face perform karte but no, you wanted manik to become stressed so that woh apne performance par concentrate nahi karsake ha na??? and see what happened , tum apnihi jaal me phass gaye
h=you bloody..
c=wwooohhh harshad hii kaisa ha tu???
cabir comes in between the fight along with alya mukti and druv.
h=cabir..stay out of this
c=no no wrong answer... actually kya ha na ke teri yardasht kamzor hogayi ha. alya bachpan me tumhare bhai ne badam nahi khaye kya?? kitni kamzor memory ha but no worries let us remind you once again. stay away from fab5 and nandini navya samjhe? warna kal aur aj jo bhi encounters you had with us and them, manik ke kan agar pouch gaya toa seriously is bar suspended nahi tujhe sidha college se rusticate karwa dega and um sure you really dont want that... so back off dude
harshad glared at everyone and left from there tapping his feet. alya felt once again digusted. cabir turned to nandini and navya and saw navya was smiling at him. he too gave her a smile
a=nandini.. um sorry .. because of my brother
n=alya.. its okay. maine tumse kal bhi kaha ha ke its not your fault and tum khudko blame mat do
d=ha alya hum sabko pata ha ke you are no where at fault
c=guys..lets just drop this topic and gather all in the jamm room
mu=ya but where is manik??
nandini realized he was not there with the rest of the gang.
c=uncle ka call aya tha..woh ghar gaya ha kuch important kaam ha.
nandini became sad as she would have to wait now to meet him.
d=guys i think manik ke ane tak hum instruments ko place karlete ha..
mu=ya.. come on. see you nandini bye navya
na=bye
cabir winked at nandini and left from there.
nandini looked at navya who was watching cabir and others going
n=navyaa
nandini called her and navya came out of her trance
na=ha??
n=kaha kho gayi???
na=kuch nahi... nandu hum chalte ha. humari dance class ka time horaha ha
n=accha main bhi library jarahihu kuch kam ha badme milti hu
...
nandini came to the library and found it a bit more empty than usual days. only two three students were studying in the corner tables. she ignored them and took the register copy and started to do her job going one by one to the shelves. but her mind was stuck in manik. where he was, she wanted to meet him first in the morning but right now he was not here yet. nandini was standing infront of the corner shelf of the library when she heard some footsteps approaching towards her. her heart thumped when she saw a shadow behind her almost hovering over and coming to get. she was ready to shout after turning around but a big hand covered her mouth and pinned her to the wall
m=ssshhh main hoo baba
hearing the familiar voice nandini opened her eyes and saw him smirking at her. she removed his hand and
n=manik..tum yaha?? yeh koi tareeka hota ha kya... dara diya mujhe
m=wwoohhh..so the nandini murthy is scared??
n=very funny..but tum yaha kya karraheho?? i mean cabir ne bola that your home kuch kaam ha tumhe tumhare dad...
manik smiled
m=that was actually mane kaha tha sabke samne i mean kehneko..cause
n=cause???
m=cause if i hadnt said that main tumse abhi mil nahi pata
she blushed hearing this.. giving a pause he holded her hand in his and caressed her knuckles
m=nandini... i wanted to say that ke... lets just be like this for sometime. i know, ke kaal raat ke bad, i mean i just want to say ke its not right time ke hum sabke samne reveal kare i mean...like now how we are meeting aur talking i feel ke its not the right time to be like this infront of everyone else.. so i was thinking to keep it...
n=secret???
m=hmmm
he shook his head , manik malhotra was feeling nervous to open up his heart in front of her. she smiled and ruffled his hair
n=manik, tumhe esa kya lagraha ha that i will oppose your decision??
m=tumhe bura nahi laga???
n=manik even i know whatever happened between ha.. what is happening its strange, something new yet special for both of us.. and for the time being main bhi iss feeling ko sirf hum tak rakhna chahti hu. i want this feeling to be within us right now, manik.. sabkuch itna jaldi horaha ha.. i want these moments and time to pass slowly, feel each and every minute
he had the brightest smile on his face hearing her saying all the things which he had in his mind since last night and watching him smiling she too smiled. he couldnt resist but planted a kiss on her temple. now this was something new for her. she smiled the way he kissed her. she loved his touch. they were full of care, love.
m=going for practice. will see you later
n=theek ha
...
manik was walking towards the jaam room when he spots cabir and navya talking. now this was something new for manik watching cabir talking to a girl Normally,without any prank and that too navya. they were actually smiling and talking. manik stood there for some time and smirked watching this New change in cabir. after a few moments navya left waving bye to cabir and he too went inside the jaam room
