***************************************************************************************

Nandu pov- Manik...!! please come back to me.. I cant stay away from you any more..!!

he moved a little in his sleep as few tears from her eyes drop on his hand..

she wiped off her tears and settled next to him on bed and slept close to him without disturbing..

after watching her man like ages, she too dozed off..

The next day , she woke up before Manik and left for office placing a note on the table..

After 2 hours Manik too woke up.. and found a note on the side desk..

NOTE:

No need to come office.. Cabir bhai and I can manage for today.. You can take rest.. Food and medicines are kept on the teapoy in the hall room..

he smiled for her concern and thought..

Manik pov- She still cares for me after what I have done to her.. I love you shona.. I hope we get back together like old days.. Missing you..!! Together we are yet apart..!!!

He gets up from the bed and freshens himself...

He then goes to the living area and carried the food and medicine to Nandu's room and started eating... After taking medicine, he felt little better..

He rested on the bed in sitting position.. Suddenly his eyes fell on a photograph which is fixed right above the bed..

Its her photo which was clicked by himself..

He stepped on the bed and took the photo frame from the wall.. when he removed the frame from the wall, a book falls down.. He thought that it may be her personal dairy..

Nandini has a hobby of writing dairy.. The things which she cant express Whatever she feels for her loved ones, she uses to share with her diary..

But for the first time, Manik Malhotra expectations proved wrong.. It wasnt a dairy but its a scrap book..

BOOK COVER

He caressed the book cover and opened it to see further..

He opened the first page and got surprised..

It was their pic written "MY LOVE... ONLY MINE.. <3"

(IMAGINE THIS PIC)

He remembered their old days and was lost in his own thoughts.. Just then his phone rings..

He was called immediately to office as there is something emergency.. So, he took the scrap book with him and went away to his place to freshen up..

Before going, he placed Nandu's photo frame back in its place..

OFFICE

Nandu almost managed everything pretty well in his absence.. Cabir too helped her..

Meanwhile Manik too comes to the office and passes through Nandu's cabin.. she looks at him coming to the office and gets furious for not listening to her and not taking care of himself..

she entered his cabin like a lioness and was about to shout..

NANDU OUTFIT

she stood silent as Manik is busy speaking with a man around 40 along with a girl around 25..

when she opened the door forcefully, everyone turns to look at her.. she felt embarrassed..

Nandu- I'm sorry..

A girl named Veebha asked..

Veebha- Are you a new employee here..?

Nandu- yes mam..

Veebha- Next time before getting into someone's cabin, please make sure to knock the door for permission..

Nandu- I'm sorry mam..

Veebha- Now can you leave..? we've something important to discuss..!!

Nandu nodded and went away..

Manik didnt say anything as he dont want any mess right now in front of his clients..

So they continued their discussion..

After an hour, the person left..

Veebha- So sir..! It seems like a good deal..

Manik- yeah.. ofcourse...

MANIK OUTFIT BY sneha_glam

he said holding his head with his hands..

Veebha- sir..! Are you alright..? You look pale.!

Manik- oh.. Its nothing.. aahh.. My head.. Need some coffee..

Veebha- I'll just bring it for you..

Manik- yeah please..

she went away.. Manik is still holding his head and was leaning on his seat.. Nandu looks at him and goes to bring a coffee for him..

when she came back she found MAnik is already drinking coffee brought by Veebha..

She felt jealous and went away in anger.. she reached Cabir's cabin and bursted out at him.

Nandu- wo ladki hai kaun..? wo mujhe kyu order kar rahi thi..? and why the hell did she give coffee to Manik..?

Cabir- woo.. woo.. calm down my sherni.. lo.. have some water..

she drink the glass of water in one go and looked at him..

Cabir- ab bol.. one question at a time okay..?

Nandu- wo ladki kaun hai..?

Cabir- which ladki..?

Nandu- arey wo.. Manik ke cabin me thi na..

Cabir- wait a sec.. why did manik come to office..?

Nandu- first you answer me.. who's that girl..?

Cabir- arey which girl yaar Nandu.. yaha toh 25 se jyadha ladkiya works.. whom are you speaking about..?

Nandu- I know everyone here.. But I've not seen that lady here..!

Cabir- oh.. she might be Veebha..

Nandu- whatever..! who's she..?

Cabir- she's a senior employee here.. A very sincere employee too..

Nandu- toh..

Manik enters Cabir's cabin.. Nandu turns her face to the other side..

Manik pov- Now what did I do..?

Cabir- Manik..! you feeling better..!!

Manik- yeah bro.. Thanks..

Cabir- why did you come to office..? I told you to take rest na..

Manik- ha.. but Veebha called me and said that some emergency.. so i came..

Listening Veebha name from him, Nandu's anger increased..

Cabir- what emergency..?

Manik- some new project..

Cabir- oh.. great..

Manik- we need to see the sight now itself..

Cabir- we matlab.. you and me..???

Manik- Nope.. she and me..

he replied looking at Nandu..

Cabir- come on Manik..! she do have a name..

Nandu- leave it bhai.. I'm not dying to listen my name from any random person..

this pinched his heart.. but he composed himself and speak..

Manik- can we leave..??

Nandu- yes sir..

He went away and she too followed him..

They both reached the parking slot where a driver is waiting for them in Manik's car..

Nandu without waiting for him hopped into the car and settled in the passenger seat..

Manik- can you sit in the back..? we need to discuss about the sight..

Nandu -No need sir.. I'm comfortable here.. and I can help you from sitting here itself..

Manik- then dont blame me..

saying this he sat in the back seat..

Nandu pov- blame me..!! why will I blame him..? what does he mean..?

her chain of thoughts broken when Veebha came and settled next to Manik..

Nandu- ayyappa..!! Not again..???

Driver- sir... shall I start..?

Manik- yeah..

Veebha kept on blabbering about the project and sight..

he was least interested in her talks.. his complete concentration is on his girl.. she was fuming in anger and he observed that from the rear mirror.. and he knew the reason too.. He listened all her complaints to cabir against veebha.. Thats why he asked her to sit along with him..

But why will she listen to him..?? Female Ego..!! huh..

They soon reached the sight area.. and gathered necessary information and started their return journey..

Before hopping into the car, Manik felt dizzy and vomited again..

Nandu got panicked and was about to reach him..

Veebha made an eeew face and asked..

Veebha-sir.. you alright..?

Manik- yeah.. can you get some water..?

she went away..

He then grabbed Nandu's bag from the passenger seat and took out her bottle which she carried with her and washes his face..

Nandu comes to him and asks..

Nandu- sir.. feeling better..?

he took her scarf and cleaned his face..

she didnt protested too as she's concerned for his health..

Manik- Much better..

she thanked god.. Nandu wanted to sit with him..

But Veebha comes and was about to sit next to him, her face fell down.. she moved to the front seat..

Manik- veebha.. you dont mind na.. If i vomit again.. You know na. I'm not well. you know what I mean right..

Veebha made a scared face and said..

Veebha- ah... ha.. wo kya hai na sir.. Nandini can sit with you.. I mean I need to mail the details to Mr.Sehgal.. So you might get disturbed.. You need rest..

Manik- okay.. fine.. If you think so..

he profusely pull that prank to sit with his girl..

Veebha moves towards Nandini and asks very sweetly..

Veebha- Nandini.. can you please sit in the back seat.. I need to mail something important..

Nandu(confused)- okay..

she then settled next to Manik and time to time checking on him whether he's okay or not..

On the mid way, Veebha gets down as Manik asked her to attend some meeting on his behalf..

she obeyed his order and left..

Manik keeps his head on Nandu's shoulder and pretends as sleeping..

she looks at him surprised... and felt that may be in sleep he kept his head on her..

Unknowingly a tear fell down from her eyes and drops on Manik's hand..

He immediately opened his eyes and enquired..

Manik- Nandu..!! why are you crying..?

Listening her name from him after ages, tears started flowing again..

Manik cleared her tears and took her into a side hug..

Manik- stop crying.. I'm perfectly fine.. see..

Nandu- Nahi.. I did everything.. I made you ill.. I'm sorry..

Manik- its okay baba.. calm down.. I'm fine..

NAndu- Nope.. you're still not fine. I shouldnt have behaved so childish yesterday night..

Manik- shona.. ho gaya na.. leave it..

both of them got surprised..as MAnik addressed her as shona..

Then both of them separated themselves from each other..

NAndu- I'm sorry sir..

Manik- stop calling me sir Nandu..

Nandu glares at him..

Nandu- I should have said the same..

Manik- what..??

Nandu- After meeting me, atleast once did you call me with my name..???

Manik- wo..

Nandu- no na.. then why should I obey your orders..

Manik- because I'm your boss..

Nandu- what..??

Manik- yes..

said in a bossy tone..

Nandu mutters- Monster..

Manik- I heard that..

Nandu- I dont care..

Manik smiles for their silly acts..

Manik- driver... stop the car..

He stopped the car..

Manik- you park the car here and go.. I can manage from here..

Driver- okay sir...

he went away..

Manik- Nandu..

she didnt respond..

Manik- Ms. Nandini Murthy...!!

he said sternly..

Nandu- what..??

Manik- I'm feeling very hungry.. can we please eat something..?

he said making an ill face..

Nandu- okay..

he smiled and both of them entered a 5 star hotel.. Manik is a well known person..

So they were given special importance..

Manik and Nandu were seated next to each other..
