Cabir got tired and crashed himself on the sofa arranged in the entrance..

Navya- now this looks perfect na..

Nandu- ha.. bas ek hi kami hai..

Cabir- I dont have any more energy now..!

Nandu- haha..!! dont worry.. 

she brought some photographs and arranged them in the wall of the entrance..

Navya and cabir got overwhelmed with her idea..

she arranged their pics of her family and her past memories..

Navya- nandu..! where did you get all these pics..??

Nandu- these pics are the only memories which are always with me navya..! how can i forget my best memories..!!

Cabir- wow sistaa..!! I'm impressed..!

she smiles and he side hugged her..

Navya looks at the below pic of nandu and asks..

Navya- aww nandu..! you look so beautiful in this pic..! 

Cabir- I remember this pic.. manik clicked it na.. saale.. kabhi mera photo nahi kicha..!

Navya- wow..! he is multi talented..

they both were gossiping themselves..

But Nandu lost in her own thoughts remembering the past..

FLASH BACK

Nandu phone rings flashing the name "Love of my life.."

Her face lighten up like a 100 watts bulb and she quickly attends the call...

Nandu- hey..

Manik- shona.. itna dher kyu laga dhi..!

Nandu- wo.. mein rishu ko help kar rahi thi..!

Manik- okay.. go down asap..

Nandu(scared)- why..?? Are you home..? you okay na..?

Manik- calm down baba.. mein nahi aaya.. aur mujhe kuch bhi nahi huwa hai..! mein bhilkul tikh hun..

she relaxed a bit and asked..

Nandu- phir..??

Manik- my surprise is waiting for you..

Nandu(excitedly)- wow..! surprise..!! what's that..?

Manik- go and check yourself..

she hurriedly rushed towards the door and found a man with a packet..

Nandu- who is he...?

Manik- well I dont have his identity card to give his details.. just take the packet..

she made a grumpy face and took the packet from the boy and thanked him..

he returned a smile and went away..

Nandu- isme kya hai..??

Manik- go and open it in your room..

Nandu- koi bomb hai kya..??

Manik- Nandu..!!

he shouted in anger..

Nandu- okay.. calm down my monster..! opening it..!

no response..

she looks at the screen and found that he already disconnect the call...

Nandu- Ayyappa.!! mein bhi na.. ab mere monster ko kaise manaw..!

she without further thinking left for his place.. 

As she entered his place.. The servant wished her and informed that manik is in his room..

she thanked him and went towards his room..

she was peeping through the door..

a voice came from the room..

Manik- andhar aasakthi ho.. kha nahi jaunga tumhe..! aur koi bomb bhi nahi laga huwa hai..!

Nandu moves towards him and sits next to him..

he didnt look at her..

Nandu- Manik..! I'm sorry..!

Manik- No need..

Nandu- itna gussa..?? koi bath nai.. I've my own ways..

she tried to kiss him on his cheek.. but he stopped her instantly..

Manik- all the time your ways doesnt work Ms.Murthy..!!

Nandu(anger)- Manik..! stop calling me that..! you know na.. I dont like it when you call me that..

Manik- oh really..

she nods cutely making a pout.. he so wanted to kiss her chubby cheek.. but his anger stopped him from doing that.. he composed himself and said..

Manik- I dont care..

Nandu- fine.. mein ja rahi hun.. tumhi pehenlo ye dress.. I dont want..

she gave him his gift and stood up..

he hold her wrist and stood up..

Manik- what do you mean by you dont want..??

Nandu slowly wraps her hands around his neck..

Nandu- so my monster wants me to wear this dress..

Manik- of course.. but dont call me monster okay...??

Nandu- then stop calling me Ms.Murthy..

Manik- you always win na..

she nods..

he slides his hands around her waist and hold it tightly..

Manik- shall we continue the thing which you stopped..!

Nandu- what thing..??

Manik- the kiss..!!

saying this he forwarded towards her to kiss.. this time she stops him..

Manik- ab ye kya hai..!

Nandu- punishment for not allowing me to kiss you before..

Manik- this is not done na..

he said making a puppy face..

Nandu- everything is fair in love and war Manik..!!

Manik- okay..! atleast go wear this dress for me..

Nandu- sure..

she left towards his changing room and dropped herself into the beautiful long gown..

when she comes out, she didnt find manik but there is  a note saying..

she smiles looking at the note and reaches the place where her love is waiting for her..

Manik- you're looking like an angel..

she blushed and thanked him..

Nandu- but what are we doing in the forest mannu..??

Manik- I want to share something important about me which no one knows..

Nandu- dont say me that you're a wild life hunter..!

she smiles herself for her silly joke which irked him..

Nandu controlled her laugh and speaks..

Nandu- okay.. no more comedy.. now say na..

Manik- I want you to know about my passion..!!

Nandu- Music is your passion right..! 

he was about to say something.. but she spoke in between..

Nandu- wait..! are you gonna sing a song for me now..?

Manik- I already sang many times for you.. Is that not enough..??

she makes a grumpy face..

Manik- acha.. sorry..

Nandu- pehle promise karo that you'll sing your whole life for me whenever i ask..!

Manik- acha baba.. promise.. ab toh smile karo..

Nandu- tum pehle promise tikh se karo..

Manik- I did na..

she glared at him..

Manik- okay.. i promise that I, your monster manik will always sing for you just like the way you, my jaan always shine for me..!!

she hops on him and hugs him..

he got little imbalanced due to the sudden hug but balances himself and hold her tightly..

  after a while she gets down and both were lost in each others eyes..

few minutes later, Nandu disturbed their eye lock saying..

Nandu- Manik..! 

Manik- hmm..

still looking into her eyes..

Nandu- you didnt say about your not known passion yet..!!

he breaks the eye lock..

Manik- wait  a sec..

he comes back with a camera which is hanging around his neck..

Nandu(surprised)- ye kya hai..!! before you give your stupid answer, I know its a camera.. but what are you gonna do with this..

Manik- well.. The passion of your mannu which you're not aware of is..

Nandu- is..??

Manik- photography..!

Nandu- what..??

Manik- yeah.. I'm fond of photography and its my passion besides music..

Nandu- this is something interesting.. kabhi mujhe bathaya kyu nai..!

Nandu- aww... Love you manik..!!

MAnik- love you too shona..

Nandu- But i didnt do any touch up..

Nandu smiles and blushes too..

she got shocked..

Nandu- kyu..??

Manik- Before your tomato red cheeks gets vanished, let me click your pic..

Nandu- Impressive..!! you're so talented mannu..!!
