Aankhein woh baatein, teri mulakatein
Mere zehan se ab jaaye na
Khwaabon mein jaake, hans ke muskura ke
Mere zehan se le jaaye jaan

Tere dil ki kahaniyon ki main
Banun raat deewani re
Sochun tere bina agar zindagi
Behde aankh se paani ve hey

Baahon mein baahein
Teri yeh aahein
Mere hokar yeh
Reh jaayein haan

Ankhein woh baatein
Tere sang raatein
Mere zehan se ab jaaye na ho

She is the girl with full of life, pretty face with chubby cheeks, curvy body with beautiful Smile. She just doesn't have a pretty face; she also has a beautiful heart; living life in her own way. She loves helping others; she can't see anyone in pain. Yes she is flawed because she didn't want to be loved for her petals. She wanted to be loved for her thorns, because she knew if someone loves her flaws they will love her wholly. She is "Nandini Murthy"

Today is her first day of college and she is still sleeping when her mother comes and sits beside her to wake her up.

Nandini Mother- “Nandini, baby wake up today is the first of your college and you don't want to be late, right?”

Nandini wakes up with a jerk after listening about the college. She is very excited for her first day at the college and she doesn't want to be late for this for sure. 

Nandini mother- “Good morning, bacha.”

Nandini- “Good morning Mamma.” (kissing her cheeks)

Nandini's Mother- “Ohkk, go and freshen up; till the time I will prepare your breakfast.”

Nandini- “Ohkkk Mamma.”

Nandini gets inside her washroom while her mother goes in kitchen to prepare breakfast. Nandini gets ready. She is smiling, her face is shining like a star and today there is something special in her smile as she is going to her dream college. She goes out and has her breakfast. Her mother wishes her "All the best" and also tells her to be safe and study hard. Nandini says, ohkk to her mom and tells her to not take tension and finally she bids bye to her mother and starts her journey towards the college.

St.Xavier college

Nandini is standing outside the college gate. Her face is shining brightly. The smile is not leaving her face. She slowly enters  the premises and looks around. As today is the first day there are many students who are standing there searching for their classes. Some are taking selfies and some are talking and making new friends....

While she is observing all thi,s there are some bunch of boys who are sitting and talking. They notice Nandini there, while one of the boys looks at her and gives her a smile but Nandini feels awkward and leaves the place at once, while the boys again start talking to themselves.

Nandini goes towards her class when she finds the same boy there talking to other students. The boy looks at Nandini and gives her a smile while Nandini just quietly sits on her seat. The boy comes and sits beside her.

Boy- Hi! Myself Maddyam Sighaniya and you,

Nandini- I am Nandini Murthy .

Maddy - Wow! You have such a pretty name.

Nandini - Thanks.

Maddy- Ummm....Can we be friends? Don't think me of some cheap boy. I genuinely want to be your friend, only if you want.

Nandini(smiles looking at him)- Friends.

Maddy - Are you sure?

Nandini- Definitely.

Maddy - Ohh, wow! Thanks a lot for accepting my friendship.

Nandini-(just smiles )

Maddy  – Come.. I will introduce you to some of my friends.

Maddy introduces her to some of his friends. Nandini is enjoying the company. She is feeling good that on the very first day she gets a great bunch of friends.

Her life is going smoothly. Nandini and Maddy ’s friendship grows stronger with time. As more time passes, they became best friends and for Nandini, Maddy is not just her friend but more than that. She falls for Maddy deeply. She smiles whenever she looks him smiling, talking, and pampering her. Maddy  takes care of her like a baby and she enjoys all the attention given by him.

It is one of the normal days. Nandini enters the college campus when one boy comes towards her, telling her that Nandini is calling her in auditorium. She goes  there and  find the whole auditorium is decorated with heart shaped balloons and other things and Maddy  is standing there in the middle. She smiles looking at him. Somewhere deep down in her heart, she knows why he has called her. She is getting excited a little but sacred too. She goes towards him and Nandini smiles looking at her and he sits on his knees and proposes her.

Maddy - Nandini the day I saw you I felt that there is definitely some connection....then we became friends and I don't know when but yes I started feeling deeply for you....So would you give me a chance to grow older with you?

Nandini( tears in eyes but still smiling)- Yes.

And that's is it. Maddy  hugs her tightly and Nandini ’s happiness having no bounds. She is very happy to get the dream boy of her life. Their friends come out and congratulate them. Maddy  get busy with his friends while Nandini is just looking at him with smiling face...maddy comes towards her and asks her if she would like to go on a date with him in which Nandini just blushes and says, Yes...

Nandini is feeling out of the world. She is not being able to describe her feelings. She is getting ready for her first date. She is very nervous yet excited. She gets ready in a simple yet elegant gown with matching accessories. She is looking pretty like a doll. When she is checking herself for the last time in the mirror, she receives the call from Maddy that he is waiting down.  She hurriedly goes out and both Maddy and Nandini look at each other and smile and start their journey. Maddy  takes her to his farmhouse for the date...the date is going smoothly. Nandini is enjoying every attention of Maddy .  The way he is taking care of her small things, she is falling more for him.... as the date proceeds, they dance romantically and there they have their first kiss. For Nandini it is the most blissful moment of her .....Maddy  starts  proceeding further but then he looks at her and asks her for the permission and this gesture of Maddy  makes Nandini to fall deeply for him. She trusts him so much that she feels this the moment when they can take their relation to the next level because she is sure that he won't ever break her trust and that is the moment. She nods  and they both consummate that night and it is pure blissful experience for Nandini. She can't be more lucky to lose her virginity to the love of her life and in the next morning she wakes up and finds herself snuggling to Maddy  more. She kisses his forehead and wakes him up. That’s the time for them to go home Maddy wakes up and they both go to their places as it is Sunday so there was no college. Nandini bids bye to him, telling him that they will meet tomorrow. Maddy smiles and bids bye to her...

Nandini enters her house. She is so happy today that she can't even describe it. she goes and hugs her mother tightly. Her mother asks for the reason but she just says she is happy like always. The mother and daughter spend their time together. It is night. She is waiting for the call of Maddy but the whole day there are no calls from him, not even a single message. So she thinks that he must be sleeping.  No problem, she will meet him tomorrow. With a content smile, she sleeps thinking to start of their new relationship by tomorrow....

But only God knows what is store in her life....

Kaisi woh muraad thi jo aaj jal gayi
Pariyon ke zehan mein jo aag ban gayi
Dekhi na thi sapnon khyalon mein kabhi
Aisi zindagi se mulakaat ban gayi

Teri aankhon ki lehak ko na jaane
Na jaane kaisi raat mil gayi
Na jaane kaisi raat mil gayi
Na jaane kaisi raat mil gay

Next morning she is getting ready for the college. The smile today she is having is very different. Her face is glowing brightly. She goes out from her room and hugs her mother tightly. Her mother gives breakfast to her and she happily has the breakfast. Then she kisses her mother and goes to the college happily. The whole she is just blushing remembering her moments with Maddy. She can't wait to meet him now...she reaches the college.

She enters the college campus and starts searching for Maddy  while she feels everyone is looking and laughing at her. She ignores them and goes towards Maddy where he is sitting with his friends and talking. She looks at Maddy  and smiles while Maddy  looks at her but he doesn't smile back. He just gives some weird look to his friends and comes towards Nandini

Nandini- Hi.

Maddy- Hi.

Nandini- Howz you?

Maddy (not interested)- Nandini I wanna tell u one thing.

Nandini (smiling)- Yeah tell na.

Maddy - See all that was between us was just a dare given by my friends. Please don't take it seriously....It's so common yaar.. you know na… no heart feelings. I hope u understand.

Nandini ’s heart just brakes in zillion pieces hearing him saying all there was nothing between them. It was just a dare but for her it was everything. She felt deep for him. She is not being able to understand the situation and how to react on it. She thinks it's her fault only that she trusted a person very easily and she gave herself to him but for him it was just a dare.

Maddy - Are… where are u lost? I hope we are fine. No need to exaggerate it much. It's so common yaar. But don't worry, we will be friend ya. Okay, bye for now.

Aankhein jhukti chubhan mein
Ashkon mein magan yeh
Kaisi teri saansein chadh gayi
Ho sakhiyan dekhe anjuman mein
Soche sab mann mein
Kaisi kaisi baatein ban gayi

Ho teri baaton ki chehak ko na jaane
Na jaane kaisi raat mil gayi
Na jaane kaisi raat mil gayi
Na jaane kaisi raat mil gayi

Oh ri chidiya na tujhe ri
Kyon yeh duniya bhaaye re
Oh re panchhi kyon humesha
Baithi munh latkaaye re

Teri aankh yeh jo namm hai
Inmein jo gham hai
Chhod ke subah pe kar yakeen
Ho yeh jo jhoomta sawan hai
Meethi jo pawan hai
Teri hi muskaan se hai bani

Ho teri baaton ki chehak ko na jaane
Na jaane kaisi raat mil gayi
Na jaane kaisi raat mil gayi
Na jaane kaisi raat mil gayi

She is standing there and looking at him going. She is having tears in her eyes but not because she is hurt by him but because she trusted a wrong person and submitted herself to him without even having second thought. It was her fault only because he asked her to proceed  while she gave him the permission to proceed further......

She goes inside the class and finds maddy  sitting there and talking to some girls and laughing. He looks at her and laughs telling something to the girls while one of the girls comes towards her and sits beside her and kisses her cheek making her shocked but then that girl shows her the picture of her kissing Maddy ’s cheek. The picture goes viral. All most everyone of 1st year batch knows about the dare and all are laughing at Nandini that she fell in the trap of Maddy  so easily and in just 1 month of her college she fell in love with maddy ...All are laughing at her making fun of her innocence while she is just sitting sadly thinking about how her life got changed just in one day. She is not even crying because she is hurt way more than that .The day passes somehow with all laughing and fun at her.
She goes to her house. Her mother was waiting for her but she just ignores her and goes inside her room and cries hard, blaming herself of what all happened. Her mother asks the reason but she doesn't reply. She says she is having fever and will sleep the whole day.  She is sitting in her room silently, her mother asks so many times but she just ignores her questions..

Next day she gets ready for college but the smile is lost. Today she goes out; her mother is standing there with breakfast but she just takes an apple from the table and goes out. Today she didn't even hug her mother ....her mother feels there is something wrong but she just ignores her all question and goes to the college. She reaches to the college while everyone is laughing at her and making fun of her. She goes and sits silently on the bench. No one is sitting beside her. All of the class are making fun of her even Maddy  and his friends are laughing and passing comments. She just ignores all this and concentrats on studies because she is upset with herself that how easily she trusted someone. she thinks Maddy is never at fault. The fault is hers of trusting the wrong person and she is not being able to forgive herself.

Days passes but the bright smiling Nandini is lost. She remains sad all the day. The chirpiness, the smile everything is just lost. She is alone all the time. No one wants to be her friend. Her mother tries many ways but she doesn't say anything to her. She always ignores her; even her appetite is lost. Her mother cries looking at her child. Once who used to be so bright and smiling and now she is lost somewhere.

She is pass by stairs while going to her class. There are two senior boys sit daily and observe Nandini when she passes by there.... once the boy from that group says something to his group.

Boy- Cabir  I have been watching this girl for past few days. She always remain so sad. 

Cabir - Yeahh Manik even I felt the same.

Manik - Come let's find about this.

They both go towards first year classes while one girl and boy are standing there. So they both go towards them and ask about the same.

Manik- Who is that girl ?(pointing towards Nandini)

Boy- She is Nandini

Manik - ohkk is she is fine? I mean she remains sad like this… always.

Boy(laughing)- Ha..ha… ohh Nandini? She is an idiot. She gets easily involved in the trap of Maddy  and ( he told Manik  all the things)

Manik (angrily)- And you are laughing here and you (pointing towards the girl) you are toh a girl na? Don't you have a heart ?What maybe she is going through and she is not an idiot you both are idiots. Just think who is wrong in this. him or she? ...... Don't involve yourselves so much in a wrong thing to be in good books of some rich boy while you forget to differentiate between what is right and what's wrong......Now tell me where is Maddy ?

Boy- He is in the football court.

Manik leaves from there angrily and Cabir  follows him. They both reach the football court and find Mady  sitting there with his friends and talking. He goes towards them and starts to beat him while cabir  also joins him Maddy ’s friends tries to stop them. Manik himself leaves Maddy and grabs his collar and asks,

Manik - What did you do with Nandini?

Maddy - Ohh she complained about me to you !

Manik - Shutup! She doesn't even know about this ...you tell me just for a mere dare you acted that u fell in love for her and did everything with her.Hmmmm?

Maddy (smiling) - Ohh come on! I didn't force her. She herself was ready for it ..... What to do?  She can't ignore my charm you know na.

Manik - She submitted herself to you because she fell in love with you. She trusted you enough to give herself to you..and what you did you just played with her heart .....just tell me if in the place of hers, your sister or your friend  would be there what would you have felt? Just tell me!  Are youyou’re your senses? You even leaked her pictures of kissing you to make her life worse. Are you even in your senses Mannn?...

Maddy (softly) - Ohh shit how can I do this? I am so sorry.

Manik - Don't say sorry to me. Say sorry to her.

Maddy - I will. And thanks bro, making me understand. I will never do something like this in future.

Mannik nods her head the leave the place.

While Nandini is going towards the exist as it is the time of the college getting closed. A girl comes to her (the same girl whom Manik  talked to)

Girl- Nandini wait a minute.

Nandini- Yeah.

Girl- See I am really sorry for whatever I did to you. You were alredy so sad and we all just made fun of you knowing that u were not in fault.... I am feeling very guilty please forgive me.

Nandini(smiling a bit) - Its fine, no need to be sorry. It's good that you came to me.

Girl- It’s just because of Mankk . He made me understand that how wrong I was by supporting the wrong person.

Nandini- Manik  ??

Girl-  Yeah, Manik Mahlotra He is our senior....He is also the captain of our football team and always supports the truth. When he came to know about what Maddy  did to you he even fought with him.

Nandini(shocking)- for me?

Girl- Yeah for you ....You know he is a man with golden heart. He can't see anyone in pain. He is the gem of a person. You should definitely thank him personally.

Nandini- Yeahh, I will . Ok now I have to leave.

Girl- No, you are coming with me.

Nandini- But Alya .

Alya - No if and but. Just come with me.

With this, Alya  takes her to her friends. Nandini is little uncomfortable but all  of them apologize to her and ask if she can be their friend. Nandini just smiles (genuinely ). All start talking to her and after so many days Nandini smiles  a bit.  She is little better but definitely this time she is not trusting them but yeah she gets friends again....they all talk, even exchange their phone numbers. Nandini is feeling good after so many days.Then Nandini says that  her mother would be waiting for her so she will meet them tomorrow and she leaves for her house.

She reaches her house and see her mother is sitting on the dining table with a sad face....She feels bad that because of her; her mother is sad so she puts a smile on her face and goes inside and hugs her mother tightly from behind and kisses her cheek. Her mother looks up and sees Nandini standing there with a smile. She gets a smile looking at her.

Nandini 's mother- Bacha how are you?

Nandini Maa I am perfectly fine, no need to worry. I was behaving like an idiot from past few days but ya now I am fine. No need to be sad because of me.

Nandini's Mother (caresses her head with slight smile)

Nandini- Maa I am very hungry plz give me the food… jaldi.

Nandini 's Mother- You sit here, I will just bring the food for you.

Her mother goes inside to get the food for her while Nandini is just thinking about Manik  that because of her he fought with Maddy . She just saw Manik  once when he fought with one boy who passed a wrong comment on one of the girls. Everyone speaks about him that he always stands for the right issues. She thinks he is definitely the gem of a person.Her mother comes with the food and they both sit together like the old days. They talk, they laugh and enjoy their daughter and mother moments. After so many days she smiles she enjoys talking with her mother. They both even sleep together like two lost best-friends and enjoy like old days .

Sochi thi jo raat woh aaj mil gayi
Dhuyein ke baras mein barsaat mil gayi
Dekhi thi jo sapnon khyalon mein kahin
Kushiyon ki kiran woh aaj mil gayi

Yeh zamana beshram hai
Na iska dharam hai
Kyun dhoondhe hai tu ismein bandagi
Oh tere sath tera man hai
Dil ki dhadkan hai
Aage badh ke jee le zindagi

Next day she reaches her college with the smile because she knows being sad won't help her. She needs to forget the past and live the present now. When she was passing Maddy comes toward her.

Maddy (bending his head )- Nandini I am really sorry for whatever I did to you.

Nandini- (just smiles) It's ohkk Maddy  I forgave you long back just today I forgave myself. Take care Maddy  wish you lots of success.

And she goes from there and enters her class where Alya  and all other are sitting and waiting for her. She goes towards them and they all talk and make fun of some silly things like friends do. Click the pictures and all and she is smiling and talking like a carefree girl . Manik  is standing near the door and smiling looking at her happy when Nandini looks at him standing there. She just passes a smile to him while Manik  just blinks his eyes..

Nandini tells her friends that she will just come and she goes towards Manik  .

Nandini- Hi

Manik - Hiii…

Nandini- Thank you so much for standing by me.

Manik - No need to thank me. I just stood for the right and you know you have to stand for yourself. You don't have to wait for someone to speak for you...living is not easy sometimes.

Nandini- I know you are right and I was behaving like an idiot from pass few days but it’s just because of you I came to know that you have to stand for yourself .

Manik - Because of me?

Nandini - Yess because I heard u were saying something which exactly I needed that moment .

Manik - what's that?

Nandini- " Yeh zamana beshram hai
Na iska dharam hai
Kyun dhoondhe hai tu ismein bandagi
Oh tere sath tera man hai
Dil ki dhadkan hai
Aage badh ke jee le zindagi"

Manik  just smiles

Nandini- You know that exactly I was doing I was thinking I am not worth of it. I was punishing myself for this society but after listening to you I got to know how much wrong I was. So that why ,thank you so much.

Manik -   You know just remember one thing in life,
     Forgive yourself for the mistakes you made that you cannot erase and learn from those faults and grow.
