Alya pov:
Ye nandu bhi na.. abb mei ise kaise handle karu....???

this stupid nandu why.. the hell she had to do this.. and i cant act sweet and soft to this dumbo... ahh.. i know he is not dumbooo now. but... i dont really like him.he always used to stick around nandu, and always play with her.

Soon my cursing session was disturbed by manik.

" soo ..we will just have a lunch. this is the best hotel nearby.. so that it would be perfect for our meeting after soo long. i just want it to be perfect." Said that dumbo I mean that manik..

"oo its nice" I replied. .

"manik.. i just be back.i will use the washroom and come"I added

"uu.. ya sure" he said.. ohh god chalo janab ne permission to di

I came inside the washroom I was hell annoyed with manik
and this nandu.. this damn girl. where the hell is she??? she just left me with this dumbo.

Just then i called nandu:

"heloo alya.. please dont freak out.. and don't be mad.. see manik is so hot and smart now.. so please my sweetheart manage something." She said from Otherside...

" nandu ki bachi... HOT?? OKK ya i can't neglect this fact but ms oversmart murthy I already have a boyfriend okk ? To mai iski hotness ka achaaar dalu? achha okie i can understand but where are u? come to resturant right now. i cant manage this dumbo anymore please. please"I said

"achha okie.. i will come wait for me.." she said

Nobody's pov

After few minutes nandu msg aliya
" im in the restaurant ".
Nandu found manik and felt conscious and found a table. Which was back facing manik.
And she hidded her face with the menu card.
Alya started walking towards the table and found nandu. And gestured to manage.

" u took soo long??." Asked manik
" vo.. vo... me.." alya was trying hard to find a lame excuse but before alya could complete waiter came there.

"sir order please. " said waiter
"ha.. order kare??.wait i know
Buffalo chicken and brown soup biryani??. Is your favourite right.??." Asked manik
Alya was confused .she was like wat_the_hell

"i hate brown soup biryani.... nandu likes it.. ewwww ." Thought alya as she really hates that

" wtf.. he still remembers every single thing i love.. omg he is insane. Manik ... what if i regret this..
No no.. o cant just go this way no-." Thought nandini... this is what called LOVE which manik does to nandu...he even remember damn single thing about her and what she was doing.. lieing?? Lieing to that man who was madly n deeply in love with her.. why? Just because of her appearance? Love is the purest thing in this whole world... we doesn't love a person with his/her physical appearance but with their inner soul .. how they are from inside.. the same way which manik does with nandini...he loves her from childhood.. bcoz of her inner soul.. nd here nandini is lieing.. is this correct??

Meantime waiter came towards nandu.

"mam order please."

Nandu was sneaking out from the menu card.
Searched the menu card.
"This" pointing towards menu card and watching manik.

"mam are u sure??."

Nandini looked into menu card she widened her eyes as soon she realized that she had ordered duck roast.

" no no.. sry can i get some coffee bas. " nandini asked waiter nodded n goes from there

And nandini again started eysdropping at manik and alya.

"so nandu... vo.. puzzle card jo mei ne diya tha.. when i left to newyork. Do u still have it?." Manik asked to alya while alya was like what_the_hell_ab_kya_karu??

And she looked towards nandu who was acting with her hand.
*Full- heart.*
*Break it.*
*Half heart.*

Alya wasn't understanding any of her sings nd made a puppy face..
"ha.. vo..." alya stammered she was not getting what to say...

Then Nandu took the paper from the table and wrote half heart.
" vo..." alya started while Manik was carefully listing to her and he was curious.but still alya wasn't able to see so Nandu bended forward and streached her arms maximum so that she can clearly see what's written in that..
" ha that heart." Finally alya completed

"gosh. .u r remember.
Its soo sweet of u " manik said and streached his hand to cupped her checks.

"manik... our order." Finally alya broked his trance . Both felt embarrassing.

"nandu. ." Manik tried to start conversation while eating. .

" manik.. Please dint talk while eating. I don't have a habit of talking while eating please." Alya said in a serious tone Manik felt a bit awkward. But he replied with a "okiee" n alya really felt relived...

Manik pov:.
Ye nandu ko kya hua??.. she was not like this before. . She used to talk with me non stop While eating.. Too weird. She has changed a lot..huh watever..
Manik pov ended.

Nandu signed thumb up for alyas smart move...while alya made a puppy sad face

"manik i have lots off work " alya said as soon as they finished the lunch

"I need to go okie." Saying this alya turned to go but Manik held her hand.

" arey.. itni kya jaldi hei.. nandu. We have a whole day left i have lots of plans." Said manik trying to stop her while alya freed her hand which manik had hold.

"vo .. vo.. ha. manik. Im flying to uk for my masters " alya lied to him..manik was shocked the girl whom he had loved since childhood...In childhood he was bound to go away from her due to his parents and look now again the situation is same but today she is on his place.. what destiny wants from him..he himself doesn't know..

"what....????." Finally manik was able to say something..and at that time only he could utter this word..

"ha.. uk. London." Alya said even she was feeling bad..she just want to stop this lieing game..

"but y ??? When?." Manik asked
" tomorrow... i need to go now for my studies...manik hope u will understand"

" yeh i can nandu ..okiee hang on. So u r leaving... fine but atleast please stay in contact with me...we will be in touch okie.??" Manik said half-heartily

"okiee of course we will manik Bye..." alya said nd turn to go but Manik held her hand pulled her in a hug.

"Take care...nandini uk I missed you. .nd thought to spend time with you but it's okk anyways will miss you" manik said while hugging her..

" hmm okie bye."alya replied

Nandu was seeing everything but felt bad and ran out through another door.Alya noticed it and she made a quick excuse and left.

Nandini's pov

I felt really bad that I have to lie to him..he was my best friend..I just ran from there n directly went home..I crashed on bed don't know why but a lone tear escaped from my eye..just then alya entered in my room..I well know what's coming next nd that happened too alya starts shouting at me..

"Nandu what's wrong with you? Tumne usse jhoot kyu bola that I'm nandini? Why you lied to him haan? He came to meet you nd what you did? Lied to him? Seriously nandini...so now will u do the honour to tell why you did that? " alya almost shouted on me n asked last question crossing her arm around her chest..

"Alya.." I started...

"Yes .. I'm waiting say fast" alya said still in anger fulled tone..

"Alya how can I go near him haan... I'm not that pretty more which I used to be in childhood...look.. I toh look ugly now.. no one likes me..nd manik.. he has became so smart n handsome..how could I face him.. I was scared what if he will not like me....." I stoped in mid looked at alya who was standing nd her face was softened I guess after hearing me.. while a few tears were escaping from my eyes..

"Alya I know it's not right to lie to him but tumhe batao main kya karu? Alya I don't want to loose my best friends nd manik..he is one of those"I continued while alya sat next to me n put her hand on my shoulder. .

"Kio.." alya said ...actually kio is my pet name..now everyone like to call me kio..

"Dekh kio..tu aisa kaise soch sakti hai? Tune hi bola tha naa we can't judge people on the basis of there physical appearance aur ab tu hi aise bol rahi hai? C'mon yrr "alya said while holding my shoulder...

"Aur tujhe kisne bola nobody likes you haan?" She continued while cupping my face with her both hands..

"Tu naa sabse achi insaan hai..aise hi tujhe mai apni soul sister nahi bolti..nandini ye saari baatein bilkul mat bolna samjhi? Tere pass wo hai jo kisi ke pass nahi hai...PURE HEART ..yes..you have such a pure heart nandini..you are beautiful from inside..aur jaha tak pretty hone ki baat hai then miss murthy let me tell you ..you are still pretty ok? Haan bas thora alya ke famous hand ka touch up dena jaruri hai bas . Alya said last line winking at me and I smiled..while she pulled me for a hug n I happily gave in..

"Kuch bhi sochti hai naa tu pagal ladki" alya said while hugging me nd slightly hit my head..after a pretty long time I was back at normal..

"Alya tune manik ko kya bola? " I suddenly asked..

"Wo I said ki I'm going london tomorrow for studies" alya said..

"But will remain in touch with each other so ye milne ka problem solve nd phone pe tu baat kar lena" she added..

"Hmmm but agar usne tujhe yaha dekh liya to?" I asked

"I don't know kio ..jab hoga tab dekhege" she said n I too chuckled. .

After sometime I was working on my laptop nd alya was sitting infront of me applying nail paint on her nails..I didn't understand why on the earth it's needed to spent money on all these things..they behave like there world will come to end if they will not use these stuffs...crazyy mahn..I concentrated back my mind on my laptop...

"Kio" suddenly alya said

"Hmm alya"I replied while still focussing my face on laptop

"I think he loves you" her sudden talk made me jump I just widened my eyes n looked towards alya who was still applying stupid nail paint on her nails...how can she say such a silly joke..

"What?? Alya are you mad??" I said which made alya look towards me ..

"No nandini I'm serious" alya said while I was shocked like hell...why on the whole earth he will love me? Duniya ki sari hot chicks mar gyi hai kya? Jo wo mujhse pyar karega?? Now I'm sure this alya really needs a doctor. ..
