Nandini POV
I wake snuggling onto my quilt. I slowly wake up and see that its seven already. I go to Manik's room and see him sleeping like a baby.
An evil idea erupted in my mind. Hehe Manik Malhotra I have a sweet way of waking you up.

I took some make up and doodled on his face.

I giggle seeing his face. Manik hears me giggling and wakes up.
"Good morning Nandini" he says
"Oh, yes how much more good can a morning be" I say sarcastically.

Manik goes to freshen up and I stand nearly controlling myself from laughing.

"Nandini" manik shouts.
"Today your end will be by me" he continues shouting. I run around the room and he chases me.

"Nandini, you better stop" manik yells.
"Manik, I am not a quitter" I say between my giggles.
I end up on one side of the bed and manik on the other. He takes a pillow and starts hitting me. I grab another pillow. My fellowmates, thats how you start a classic pillow fight

After half an hour we both lay on the bed between the pillow stuffings staring at the cieling. We both laugh together and manik says "we need to go. Dress like a foriegner if you don't want those goons to recognise. Ranbir told the goons are still after us."
So, mom won't doubt Ranbir because Cabir is pretending to be Ranbir. But they will doubt me and Manik because we are missing. So the goons are after us.

I change into a dress with a hat. I looked like a british woman.

I came out and saw manik sitting on a bike

"Are we going on a bike ride?" I exclaim
"No, I am going to ride a car, sitting on a bike"Manik said sarcastically.
"Hahah manik malhotra your so funny" I replied with sarcasm evident in it.
I get on the bike and he starts riding it.
"Hold tight" he says. I wrap my arms around him. God,why am I blushing?

"I thought you would be scared to go on the bike"Manik says with a smirk on his face. Even though I was hesitant I decided to reply keeping in my blush.
"I love bikes. I used to ride it in US. No objections, I am riding it back to the hotel" I said in a stubborn tone.
Sometimes I wonder,when I was in US I used to hug a lot of people. Those touches never affected me so much. I have so many questions left unanswered. Why am I even thinking about this. I am too young to think. I lowly chuckle at my self.
"I am okay with it but do you think you can drive with this dress" he said not arguing further."
"Shit, I can't" I say to myself.
He stopped at a market and was asking something. I dont know how he managed to understand. I wait while sitting in the bike.
Kerala is indeed really beautiful. If dad's actually somewhere here, I can truly understand the reason. Dad always admired nature. My thoughts get interrupted as Manik
"I am going to eat ice cream"Manik says out of blue.

Ice cream! Oh yes. I am hardcore fan of icecream. Manik and I rush to the nearby ice cream store. I could live on ice creams for months.
"A chocolate ice cream please" manik says
I wait for manik to order my ice cream.
"Manik, where is my ice cream"? I ask
"I told I am going to eat ice cream, not that I am going to buy you ice cream" manik says with a smirk on his face.

"Manik, I hate you " I say with an angry pout. I stomp my feet and sit on a bench. I cross my arms on my chest and sit with an angry pout. Suddenly a hand extends from my right holding my favourite chocolate icecream .
I turn around to see Manik smiling with the ice cream.
"Sorry" he says sweetly.

"Thank you manik" I say while I grab the ice cream and munch on to it like a little girl.
After sometime Manik tells me that he has a surprise for me.

"Nandini, mission find Nandini's dad complete" he says pointing to a house with the name board " Krishna moorthy".

I jump up and down and hug manik in happiness.
"Thank you manik"I say sincerely
