"Not getting sleep?" She turned to see Manik she shook her head and turned back...manik sighed and sat beside her....

Both sat in silence for few minutes..

Finally manik spoke breaking the silence
"Listen nandini i m really sorry about that....it was just......."

"No need to be sorry Manik.....i know u didn't meant that" nandini interrupted his words

"So u r not angry for that" he asked in disbelief she shook her head in denial

"Who said i m not talking to you?...."

"You didn't talked to me when i returned so i thought" he said sadly

"Aise kuch nhi hai....wo mera bass mood nahi tha" she said laying down.

"Oh" Manik laid beside her and both stared the stars for few mins

"Is it because of your dates" Manik asked staring up in the sky

She sit with a jerk looked at him bewildered.

"Why are u staring me like that it's a normal thing" he said turning towards her ...she sighed and lay down

"Yes" she breathed... Manik nodded

"Does it pain?" He asked after sometime

She looked at him and nodded sadly

"It pain like a bitch " she said

"I don't know why we girls only have to suffer all this " she said sadly...tears roll down her eyes

Manik pulled her in his embrace "ssshh....don't cry it will be ok"he said rubbing her back...and both stayed like this.The moon and stars witnessed the unspoken love which was blooming between them...love for each other...both are unknown of the feeling that they are already falling in love with each other not for body but for soul.
