Manik reaches near FAB 4 in the canteen and sits silently without saying anything. Nandini too soon reaches there and sits beside abhi.

Manik was very angry and all could easily notice it because his face was turned into complete red.

Manan were sitting opposite to each other but still looked every where possible except into each others eyes.

Kabir,dhruv and abhi were noticing manan and understood that something was again wrong between them.

KABIR : manik kya kayega tu

Manik simply nods nothing and looks down stamping his foot on ground.

HARSHAD : hello guysss

Manik closes his eyes and rubs his forehead with his fingers.

ALIA : thank god bhai aap agaye I was missing you badly and were did you just dissapear all of a sudden

Manik and harshad look each other

KABIR : arey teri pyari behna tujhse kuch puchri hai bolna harshad kaha tha thu itne din haaa

HARSHAD : alia wo achanak kuch emergency agaya tha isliye I had to leave without informing you

KABIR : yar mujhe aisa kyu lagtha hain ki tu hamesha emergency ko call karke apne paas bula letha hai hmmm

HARSHAD : very funny kabir

DHRUV : vaise tumhari bath hogayi ho tu tum ja sakthe ho

HARSHAD : yes of course and was just about to move but then sees nandini and stops

KABIR : what???

HARSHAD : hey nandini kaisi ho

Manik holds his chair tightly to control his anger

DHRUV : harshad leave

HARSHAD : relax yar itna hyper kyu hore ho am just asking her casually aur vaise bi kya patha wo khud bi mujhse bath karna chari ho you know girls are very shy so and before he could complete his sentence his head was pinned to table by a strong hand.

Soon harshad realises that it was none other than the manik malhotra and so shouts his name in anger.

All get up from their chairs in a jerk and look manik making their eyes widened.

Harshad frees his head and looks straight into manik eyes

HARSHAD : how dare you

MANIK : stay away samja just stay away

HARSHAD : scene kya hain boss tum dono ke beech chel kya raha hain

Manik shouts his name and holding his collar with his one hand raises his another hand to punch him. He was about to punch him but then he sees nandini closing her eyes tightly by bending her face down towards her shoulder. His expression changes and she slowly opens her eyes and looks him. He turns his face and moves his hand back and "dekh harshad scene kuch bi ho usse tujhe farak nahi padna chahiye and am warning you again just stay away from us varna thu jantha hain main kya karsaktha hoon aur jo kuch maine tere sath kuch din pehle kiya na am sure tu wo sab itni jaldi nahi bula hoga tho isliye its better if u stay away hmmm"

Harshad gets angry and giving a look to nandini leaves from there

Manik too gives a look to nandini and leaves from there leaving alia and mukthi hell shocked

MUKTHI : ye kya tha

ALIA : what was he saying to bhai

ABHI : alia agar wo tumhara bhai hain tho manik usse aise kyu bath karra tha

KABIR : guys ye sab bathe tho ham baad main bi kar sakthe hain philal we need to rush its already late for class

NAVYA : haan agar hamse pehle sir class main pahunch jayenge tho bahuth badi gadbad ho jayegi

DHRUV : haan chelo

Alia and mukhi doesn't say anything and simply follow kabir and dhruv.

They all go to class and see that manik was not present in the class. Nandini becomes sad and everyone decides to go out too but before they could step out of class there biology sir comes & says them to sit in their places. Having no option left they all go & sit in their benches

Nandini was very sad and even had teary eyes.

ABHI : jaan

NANDINI : hmmm

ABHI : tum logo ke beech phirse jagda huya kya

NANDINI : nahi aisi bath nahi hai

ABHI : acha vaise neeche wo sab kya tha manik alia ke bhai se aise kyu behave kiya

NANDINI : wo bura hain isliye

ABHI : nahi wo jab pehle bath karra tha tho manik ne kuch nahi kaha par jab usne tujhse bath ki tho

NANDINI : wo actually harshad always tried to trouble me isliye manik ko wo pasandh nahi hain

ABHI : ooo not bad it means he really cares for you kyu

NANDINI : haan

ABHI : then don't worry sab teek hojayega hmm

NANDINI : hmmm

NANDINI POV : patha nahi kaise sab teek hoga I know meri galthi hain mujhe usse sab clearly explain karna chahiye tha par usne sab galath samaj liya I know wo kisi kone pe bait kar diwar par apna gussa nikala hoga ayyappaa please uske sath rehna aur uska kayal rakhna and I promise main jaldi sab teek kardungi

Manik was in room moving here and there and finally after punching the wall hardly he leans to the wall closing his eyes.

MANIK : how could she just say that matlab main uske sath sirf damnnn. How can she even think like that man usse patha hain ki main aisa kabhi nahi kar saktha hoon. I know meera ki incident ki vajah se wo bahuth disturbed hain aur jo bi uske sath hua hain wo galath hain par iska ye matlab thodi hain ki jo kuch bi un dono ke beech hua hain wohi sab hamare beech bi hoga.

He opens his eyes & sits on ground. Patha nahi uske dimag main ye sab kaha se atha hain seriously agar ek ladka galath kartha hain tho kya sare ladke aise hi hothe hain goddd kaise kaise in ladkiyon ko samjaye ki sare ladke ek jaisi nahi hothe hain I know ki zyada thar dhoka ladke hi dethe hain par sacha pyar karne vale ladke bi hothe hain yar par nahi in ladkiyon ko na sacha pyar karne vale ladke pasandh hothe hi nahi hain yaa unhe tho use and throw type ladko se hi pyar hotha hain agar koyi ladka kisi relationship main buri nazar se unhe dektha hain ya chotha hain na tho unhe kuch samaj nahi atha hain aur infact ulta kush hothe hain ki wo unse pyar kartha hain aur jab asal main koyi ladka pyar se unke karib atha hain tho unhe ye lagtha hain ki wo galath hain aur bas chance marne ki koshish karra hain and closes his eyes and recalls all his conversation with nandu and after sometime "ye maine kya keh diya use gusse main shittt man" and runs out of class

He reaches near class and notices that the class was about to end so without going inside waits outside.

Soon the class ends and sir goes out.

Nandini was about to get up but manik enters at the same time and they both share an eye lock.

He slowly walks towards her and she thinks that he might be still angry so decides to go out and gets up but manik goes near her and she moves back. He sits beside her and looks her. she will be lost in looking him and he holds her hand and make her sit.

DHRUV : buddy thu kaha gaya tha

MANIK : wo principle ne bulaya tha kuch kaam se tho isliye unse milne gaya tha

KABIR : hooo acha acha

MUKTHI : guys ham log bi yaha hi hain hamari tho koyi value hi nahi hain yaha kyu alia

ALIA : yaa hame na kisi aur se dosti kar leni chahiye shayad

DHRUV : common girls bahuth ho gaya

MUKTHI : haan haan tum log tho yehi sab kahenge na ki bahuth hogaya bas karo kyu kare ho and all right

KABIR : arrey meri maa kyu tang kinchre ho chodo na

Mukthi and alia smile and haan

Manik was still holding nandu's hand and she was lost in looking him. He suddenly see her and she looks down. He leaves her hand and looks down.

Nandini takes her notes and "gussa"

He smiles a little bit but hides it and "haan kyu"

Nandini becomes sad & "kya hum thodi der ke liye bath kar sakthe hain"

Manik raises his eyebrow and "mujhe laga ki ye jo hum iss vakth kare hain use bath karna hi kehthe hain"

Nandini looks him and "yaha par aise nahi bahar jaha hum suba bath karre the"

He too looks her and "hooo acha acha wo hamare room main???"

Nandini smiles a little bit and "tumne mere sawal ka jawab nahi diya"

Manik controls his smile and "sochna padega"

She looks him sadly and turns her face. He looks her and smiles.

Kabir,dhruv and abhi were watching them silently in between and felt a little bit relaxed knowing that they were at least talking through messages

MANIK : guys I will be just back

KABIR : kyu kaha jara hain

MANIK : kuch kaam yaad agaya

DHRUV : achaa teek hain jaa and smiles

MUKTHI : manik tujhe nahi lagtha ki tu class ke andar nahi balki bahar zyada vakth guzar raha hain

MANIK : yaa ab main sabki tharah normal thodi hoon jo sirf class main bait kar padayi karunga common yar I mean am the manik malhotra and winks

Nandini smiles and gets up

KABIR : hoo acha acha tho ab bath samaj main agayi

NANDINI : kyaaa

KABIR : arrey wahi ki kyu manik class se bahar jara hain

Manan look each other and then immediately turn their faces aside

MANIK : what are you saying

DHRUV : arrey buddy kabir ye kehna chahra hain ki tu tho the manik malhotra hain na tho thu wo sab thodi karega jo ham sab normally iss age main karthe hain kyu kabir hain na and winks looking manik

NANDINI : ooo haaa

NAVYA : hooo tho ye bath hain

KABIR : haan ab chelo tum dono jao na yaha par aise kade kyu ho

MANIK : yaaa and they both leave from class.

Manan walk silently and soon reach near room. Manik opens the door and nandini enters first. She goes to corner of the room and manik too follows her till the end. They both stand a little bit far leaning back to wall.

They both stay silent for sometime and finally decide to break the silence.

They both turn towards each other and "sorry"

They both look down and again "wo actually"

They both smile and "you say"

They both turn their faces smiling and then look each other.

MANIK : ok you speak first

NANDINI : nahi you say na

MANIK : listen you wanted to talk right so you say

NANDINI : haan par you to want to talk na so you start

MANIK : acha teek hain wo main

MANIK : nahi main pehle bolunga

MANIK : main ne kaha na main bolunga

NANDINI : maine bi kaha na ki main bolungi

MANIK : goddd

She was about to say something but he keeps his index finger on her lips. They share an eye lock and manik slowly takes back his hand and looks down.

NANDINI : manik am really sorry main tumhe hurt nahi karna chahthi thi

MANIK : nandini please sorry tho mujhe bolna chahiye maine gusse main patha nahi

NANDINI : nahi manik galthi meri hain main tumhe apni bath ache se nahi samja payi

MANIK : nahi nandini maine tumne apni bath samjane ka mouka hi nahi diya

NANDINI : manik am sorry maine meera ki incident kuch zyada hi apni dil pe leli aur uski vajah se patha nahi kya kya sochne lagi

MANIK : iss main tumhari koyi galthi nahi hain nandini I can completely understand how you might be feeling after knowing about her

NANDINI : mujhe kuch samaj nahi ara tha, main bahuth dar gayi thi manik patha nahi kyu main sirf hamare bare main sochri thi aur

MANIK : nandini am sorry main jantha hoon ki tum ek ladki ho aur mujhe samajna chahiye tha ki tumhara wo sab sochna galath nahi tha

NANDINI : manik mujhe tum par koyi shak nahi hain main bas itna chahthi hoon ki hum apne relationship ko dheere dheere aage badaye

He cups her face and "main jantha hoon aur samjtha bi hoon"

NANDINI : manik main chahthi hoon ki pehle hum dosth bane ek dusre ko jane ek dusre ke achayiya aur burayiya dono ko pehchane aur uske baad

MANIK : jaise tum chahthi ho na bilkul aise hi hoga

She places her hands on his hands and looks him.

MANIK : nandini main jantha hoon aur samjtha bi hoon ki tum iss vakth kaise feel karri hogi aur sach kahu tho is main tumhari koyi galthi nahi hain I know ki ek ladki ke liye kisi be ladke se apni relationship ko age badane ke bare main sow baar sochna padtha hain aur soche bi kyu na after all its the biggest decision of her life right

Nandini nods as yes.

MANIK : nandini tumhe hamare bare main sochkar zyada pareshan hone ki zarurath nahi hain main jantha hoon ki meera ke sath Jo kuch bi hua wo galath hain par iska matlab ye nahi hain ki har ek ladki ke sath vahi hoga

NANDINI : main janthi hoon par patha nahi kyu and stops and again continues manik tumhe bahuth gussa aya na jab maine tumse kaha ki I don't want us to regret anything bolke

MANIK : jhut nahi bolunga haan mujhe thoda nahi bahuth zyada gussa aya aur kuch der pehle thak bi main sirf gusse main tha

She looks down and he lifts her face up with his index finger

MANIK : patha hain main gusse se laal hogaya ki tum aise soch bi kaise sakthi ho ki main kair par phir socha ki tumhare iss dar ko mere alawa aur koyi bi bahar nahi nikal saktha hain

She looks him with awww

MANIK : Maine pehle bi bathaya hain aur aaj phirse kehtha hoon main tumhare paas is liye nahi atha kyuki mujhe tumhe choona hotha hain balki is liye atha hoon kyuki mujhe tumhara sath acha lagtha hain and I really mean it

Nandini have tears in her eyes and "am sorry"

Manik smiles and miss nandini moorthy I manik malhotra today promise you that until and unless you don't want me to take our relationship into next level I won't make any move in trying so.

She was looking him lovingly

MANIK : our relationship is very different and I don't need to touch you to feel you.

Tears roll from her eyes and he wipes those tears wearing a smile.

MANIK : now this is the only common thing in our relationship and others

NANDINI : what

MANIK : flowing of these tears you know i guess no guy in this world have an other option rather than watching you girls cry every now and then

Nandini turns her face smiling

MANIK : arrey seriously ab tum hi dekho tum ladkiyan na jab dhuki hothe ho tho rothe ho aur jab khush hothe ho thab be rothe ho jab ham ladke tum par gussa hothe hain tho bi rothe ho aur agar bina gussa kiye meri tharah aise bath kare tho phir bi rothe ho

NANDINI : stop it haa

MANIK : mujhe tho ye lagtha hain ki tum ladkiyon ko na bas rona hotha hain agar koyi reason na bi ho na tho phir bi kuch na kuch reason create karke tum log rone lagthe ho

Nandini smiles hugely and manik stop it na

His hands were still on her cheeks and hers were on his hands.

MANIK : I like to see this smile on your face rather than tears in your eyes

She blinks her eyes as ok

NANDINI : those were happy tears

MANIK : but still I don't want to see them

NANDINI : I can't help it

MANIK : acha teek hain chelo only happy tears are allowed not any other tears

NANDINI : hmmm

MANIK : so now you wanna say something

NANDINI : thank you

MANIK : for what

NANDINI : for everything

Manik smiles and looks her lovingly

NANDINI : manik you are the best thing ever happened to me and I promise that soon when its right time we will take our relationship into next level

Manik smiles and nods as yes

MANIK : vaise wo right time kab hoga nahi matlab I can wait par you know agar patha chel jaye ki mujhe kab thak intezar karna hoga tho it would be better na hmmm

She hits his stomach playfully and "tum kabi nahi sudroge"

Manik starts laughing like a kid and she just stands adoring him

She slowly moves little close and kisses his cheek.

MANIK : ye cheating hain

NANDINI : kyaaa

MANIK : tum ye sab karogi tho phir main and pouts

Nandini smiles & emmm even you can

Manik smiles and leans forward to her cheek but then moves back again.she looks him confused and then he kisses his two fingers (index finger and middle finger) of his right hand and places those fingers on her cheek.

She smiles and immediately hugs him tightly. He too smiles and hugs her back.
