Suddenly her thoughts broke when she heard soha talk
Soha: happy Diwali nandu
Nandini: tha... Thanks soha n wish u the same (still in dilemma n shocked hearing nandu)
Evry body were still in shock with sudden change in soha behaviour except one soul who is jus standing n grinning like a kid watching the duo.. None other than The Manik Malhotra whose happiness have no boundaries seeing soha hugging nandu.. Suddenly reality hit Manik n he realise y am so much happy if soha accept nandu.. She is jus a mere Frnd like evryone n was so special that this stupid smile is not leaving my face
His heart screams "may b thr is something something n whistles
His mind "nothing nothing"
His heart "something"
His mind "nothing"
His heart "nothing

N his heart screams "something something"
Cabir shook Manik n says bhai tuh haas Kyun raha hai? R u not shocked seeing soha being over friendly suddenly with Nandini
Manik: ah Cabir it's okay nah if she s being friendly anyways aab hum sab frnds hai so let's soha also accept it n when she accepted wat is UR pblm ( n glares)

Manik eyes popped out hearing dost ki smile he thought aab yeh soha pitvayegi mujhe
Nandini: dosth which dosth
Soha: dosth woh waha hai NA n points her hand towards Manik
When Manik bends his head n thinks am gone aab n was wiping his sweat on forehead

N both hug each other n looking at them evryone smile broadly
Specially Manik who was now In relief but he kw soha is gonna tease him in evry possible but for now he chucked all the thoughts n jus wanted to go with the moment
After they broke hug evryone hugged each other n wished happy Diwali while alya dhruv were blushing looking at each other n had a friendly hug... Manan jus hand shaked n wished each other...
Nandu n abhi introduced Fab5 to family rishab, chacha n chachi was impressed by seeing evryone n specially Manik n said tum nah bhilkul ShahRukh Khan lag rahe ho
Manik blushes listening dat n says thanks aunty..
Chachi: meh nandu ki chachi hoon uska matlab sirf yeh theen hi mere bache nahi hai tum sab bhi mere bache jaise ho u all can call me chachi too..
Fab5 smiled broadly n hugged chachi saying thanks chachi.. They all r broken kids n they nvr experienced mothers love seeing chachi n the way she was being so loving with them touched their hearts n all have tears in thr eyes which they tried hiding but nandu saw n had tears in her eyes too.. Abhi kw thr inner turmoil so was smiling them the way they craving for mothers love.. N he made sure they would experience it they chachi...
Evryone broke the hug n chachi chalo bacho aab aur emotional nahi let's njoy aaj Diwali hai bhai so tum log maze karo meh dinner ki preparations dekhthi hoon
All nodded n chachi left with chacha...
Evryone handed over the gifts to dazzlers n nandu family but Manik dint give his gift to nandu as he wana give her in private n was little hesitant to give infront of evryone so he remained silent..

Nandini have no other option so she sighs n says
Nandini: Manik pls help me nah
He jus smiles n nandu turns her back towards Manik... He slowly lifts his hands from her hands rubbing them with his fingers n sending her a shiver in her body..
He slowly raises his hands to her dori n takes the knots of it while his hand slowly touch her bare back which she shivers n clutches the tree tightly.. Seeing her gasp Manik jus looses his senses n he slowly instead of tieing the dori slowly moves his hand to tough the mole.. Nandu heart starts racing n the breathe becomes uneven her heart starts thumping.. N her throat got dried... He slowly caresses the mole
Nandu can't help but a small moan escaped her mouth
Nandu: maaanikkk n tats it for him he looses it n bend down to kiss her mole he slowly bends his face... She can feel his hot breathe on her bare back n she starts shivering n she is having butterflies inside her stomach dng salsa dance.. She can't bear this torture anymore n was feeling weak on her knees n was about to fall when she hold Manik hand from front for support...
Nandu POV:
Her minds wants to stop but her heart all ready over powered her mind n the proximity is driving her crazy.. She herself is not understanding wat is hpng with her.. At a side she is liking it n same way she feels this is not at all ryt

Here Suddenly rishab rmbrs that they dint check abhi rooms n moves towards his room n checks evrywr but they dnt find anyone suddenly Navya signals cupboard n rishab opens the cupboard to see Mukbhi lost in each other eyes jus staring at each other
They jus jerked on hearing evryone scream n abhi blushes after coming out of trance...

Then suddenly some one cokes n climbs on abhi back n scream saaalleee (who is dat new entry koyi idea )
Scene shifts to Manan behind tree
Here nandu was lost in his touch n Manik was about to kiss her mole n was about to place his lips on her mole when they hear someone scream saallleee
N both gain their senses while nandu was full red which blush n Manik was jus hiding his face with embarrassment thinking wat he has done may b she dint like it
he was jus looking at her face with embarrassment but she jus lifts her head n jus blushes looking at Manik jus runs inside the house
Manik jus looks her and smriks seeing her blush... N jus muttered to himself tomato imaging her face turn dark shade of crimson...
Scene changes to Lawn:

Maddy: I kw yaar
Meanwhile Manik come thr n sees evryone n abhi asks did he see nandu while he jus smiles remembering the previous encounter with her.. N nods his head in no
Abhi introduces maddy to Manik n they shake thr hands
Manik: meh andar PaNi pike aatha hoon n moves inside to check on nandu
Nandu runs towards the kitchen n drinks PaNi n was still breathing heavily n was blushing in deep crimson n was lost in her thoughts thinking wat jus hpnd
Manik thinks her to b in her room n moves upstairs n see a room wr in the corner a lanterns shining n room was dark only the lantern is giving a bright light.. He slowly opened the door fully n was lost in the aroma of strawberry n walks inside he sees a big photo frame in the centre of a family three kids n two elders
Manik immediately guessed it was nandu family n it's her childhood photo he was admiring the photo n around tat big photo frame thr were small frames in which nandu different pics were thr few with dhruv Navya abhi rishab chacha chachi n few pictures of hers while eating icecream tongue out with cute antics.. Manik was adoring her pictures with a board smile...
N slowly moved towards her bed wr she had her parents pics on side table n a glass bottle was kept aside he just went n touched the bottle suddenly it started glowing...
It's started shining brighter than stars he was shocked to see n then understud that they are fireflies...
Fireflies started shining more brightly n he jus smiling seeing it but dint understand y they started shinning after he touched the bottle... N he heard some sound so he kept the bottle aside n took a gift wrapped from his pocket n kept it on centre of bed n left the room fastly
Here maddy comes to freshen up he does not find which room is abhi so he jus enters nandu room n sees her picture n understands its nandu room so he moves out
Meanwhile nandu moves to her room n sees a guy coming out of her room n gets confused thinking who is he?
N enters her room n she gets a shock seeing the fireflies glowing
She jus runs n picks up the bottle n thinks is it shinning coz of tat guy..
Matlab is it the time to find my true love.. N sits on the bed taking the her patents photo frame
Nandini: Amma r u seeing the fireflies r glowing.. Matlab my true love is some wr here is that the guy who jus left my room
N her happiness has no bounds n she was having happy years in her eyes dat it's time to find her true love like her Amma n Appa
N she keeps the photo aside n turns to leave when her fall on the gift wrap placed on bed she picks it up n sees on wrap its written from Manik
Nandini: Manik ka gift, matlab Manik bhi yaha aaya tha?
N even tat guy was also here in my room n nandu was confused
Aiyappa aab fireflies r glowing but coz of whom is it Manik or other guy
Aab kya hoga? Will nandu b able to find out her true love? Will she b able to find out who was it coz of whom the fireflies glow?
