Manik
With Nandini
Even before recognizing this L word feeling, his day started and ended with her. Everything he did or even thought was about her even it was not a good feeling when u had a girlfriend..But once he identified his emotions directed towards that one girl is not going to let him live unless he acknowledged it, he was his happiest ever. He was this love stuck puppy, ready to do anything for his love including catching fireflies!!!. He has this romantic side to him which would have never shown out if it wasn't for Nandini.. Everyday is an adventure discovering little things, or doing the same old things with her made him happy..Happy is a very small word for heaven..Being with Nandini made him feel like being in heaven if there is one..

Earlier before Nandini joined SPACE Manik made others life hell. It was his daily routine. Nothing new hit him..But after tasting love and having lost it, he is in self inflicted hell from which no one can redeem him except he himself. And the guilt that emerged every time he saw her tears is not gonna go away even if he is fried in the burning hot oil of hell. And the feel of seeing her in the circle of his best buddy is unfathomable. He wanna rip his friend's hands apart for daring to touch her. He seems to forget that he is the same friend whom he sacrificed his love for.. Having her at conspicuous distance and still not be able to touch her is worse than being shot dead for him..

With Manik
It was amazing for Nandini that how one single act of him helping Rishab unmindful of his own victory erased all bad memories inflicted on her by the same man. She tried seeing goodness in everybody and when she did she was satisfied that there is goodness in earth even in the pile of garbage. When she saw that goodness in Manik she was addicted to it wanting to see it only for her. Though she never showed it out it killed her to see him at ease with girls including her while she is a clear mess whenever he is around. When he confessed she was at awe that a man like him can fall for her. But that never bothered her to doubt him coz Manik was anything but a Liar and a coward. She dreamed, bathed and ate Manik for the whole night. He made her feel like the only girl in the world. If that night would be the last day of her existence she would spend it with him and forget the world.

She was the princess of her own world where she doesnt have to question her loyalties trust. Her friends and family loved and cherished her. She never once yearned for a boyfriend or love for that matter. Whatever she had she was happy and content. But when she experienced more, she wanted more. She never wanted to hug him. But when he hugged her, she wanted that hug to last forever. She hasn't experienced a kiss. But when she did she was greedy. And being without it now made her feel poor. She never was rich. But now she is missing it. She will never trust another man again on his word. And when she is given choice to choose between love and death, she would gladly choose death and be gone rather than falling in love again..
