Turns out manik's fake-out kiss maneuver is just another prank. He lets it go far enough that nandini thinks he's being serious and nervously suggests they date first.
manik bursts out laughing at her choice of words, and nandini dashes out of the room, mortified. She leaves behind the reason she went there in the first place — her workbook covered in "I manik" doodles, which he smiles to read.
Tearily, Nandini wonders if she really is stupid for liking him even after he treats her like this. But she can't control her feelings.
Note: guys some of you are confused between the story line which I will try to clarify as much as possible. The doddles on the book is actually because in these few days during the study lessons and the time she spent with manik she is started to feel for him to which now she has ended up scribbling on her book but she still is waiting for her mystery man but let's see what destiny awaits for her.
back to the story:
Their was an announcement calling everyone in the auditorium for something special happening for the next few weeks.
Everyone started to move here and there to get a glimpse about the event happening and finally they succeeded by gathering around the auditorium where raghav stood with princi waiting for everyone to give them a chance to speak. After few mins they started:
Raghav: "so guys we are here to give you an interesting news which I hope you will wish to take part in. But I won't be telling you anything as here princi would like to continue."
princi: "hi everybody I hope you enjoy being part of S.P.A.C.E and are trying your level best to maintain our standards. I am really happy to announce a name which worked hard enough to gain herself in one of the 50 top seats. Her name is.....Nandini murty"
Everyone cheer for her and manik can't stop admiring her innocent angelic face. Nandini is well aware of his gaze on her but ignores it but the heat is radiating on her cheeks which gives manik another reason to smirk by seeing the effect on her.
Princi: "congrats nandini for being in the 50 place keep up the hard work and now for the news that I am here for. Guys there is going to be a intercollege challenge where I want all the bands to perform and win from the other schools competing against us"
All in unison: "woah....we will win....we will win"
Princi: "that's the spirit so I want everyone to go in the canteen and put down your bands name"
All in unison: "ok sir"
Princi: "ok so see you then have a nice day ahead"
After the announcement everyone started talking about the competition. But there was one girl....(yes guys you are right it's none other than nandini murty) who is thinking whether to participate or not but with who.
All of the bands including fab 5 and harshad band noted down there name for the competition.
Nandini heard some voices behind her who were calling her name. She turned around seeing navya, shahid, a boy and soha standing there. She got confused.
soha: "hey nandini. I remember the song that you sung in raghav's class and I am interested in adding you in my band.
nandini: "me??"
Soha: "yh if you want you can I mean I need another person and you sing well"
Nandini(in an enthusiastic tone): "ok"
Boy: "hey I am aryaman I play the drums"
Nandini: "hi"
Just then she heard a voice saying "hi". She turned around to she.........Abhimanyu
Nandini ran to him and hugged him tightly. This scene was watched by our very own manik malhotra who was burning with jealousy.
Nandini: "omg omg.....Abhi tum"
Abhi: "ha mein baby doll....i am a member of soha's band....i play the guitar"
Nandini: " so I will be performing with you"
Abhi: "yh"
Soha: "ok so now we got our band let's name it something"
Abhi: "how about "wings"
Nandini: "unusual and unique name"
Soha: "perfect"
Abhi: "so let's put our name down"
They put down there name and it doesn't take long for others to find out nandini being part of the challenge some mock at her and some say it's a challenge as they know her singing talent.
Another announcement was made to tell the students the event will be tommorrow itself so they should brace themselves and start practising. The day went in practising and some people even practised at night including fab 5.
Next day @ space:
It was the day where people were practising as best as they could and finally it was time to tell whether the practise was worth it or not.
Raghav: "so guys today is the day we are going to do round 1 only so I want harshad group to come up and perform"
Harshad came with his group members. One was on the drums and the other on keyboard. Two were on guitar including harshad. Harshad closed his eyes and Started singing.
Kabhi gardishon ka maara
Kabhi khwahishon se haara
Roothe chaand ka hai chakor
Zara se bhi samjhote se
Yeh parhez rakhta hai kyun
Maane na kabhi koi zor
Duniya jahaan ki bandishon ki
Yeh kahaan parwaah kare
Jab kheenche teri dor
Kheenche teri dor...
Manchala.. mann chala teri ore
Manchala.. mann chala teri ore
Khamoshiyon ki sooraton mein
Dhoondhe tera shor
Dhoondhe tera shor
Manchala.. mann chala teri ore
Manchala.. mann chala teri ore
Rookhi-sookhi dil ki hai zameen
Jaane kahaan gum hui nami
Meri ummeed hai teri baarishein
Ye sahe kayi baar pyaar ke
Tujhe har baar haar ke
Seekhe phir bhi kabhi nahi saazishein
Ho.. tere liye aaj khud se hi bhaage hain
Himmat ke tukde bator
Ho bhaage zamaane se
Chhup ke dabe paanv jaise koi chor
Jaise koi chor...
Manchala.. mann chala teri ore
Manchala.. mann chala teri ore
Khamoshiyon ki sooraton mein
Dhoondhe tera shor
Dhoondhe tera shor
Manchala.. mann chala teri ore.. . . . . . (Repeats)
Harshad ended the song by his guitar tune and humming. He opened his eyes slowly to see the reaction. He saw everyone so lost in the music to which he smirk and then raghav spoke bringing everyone back to life.
Raghav: "soo a nice and romantic performance lets see our next performance which will be by "wings"
Shahid starts his drums by his beats with soha and abhi joining in the tune. Aryaman and navya joins in after a min or so and then after few mins Nandini starts singing by strumming her guitar. She closes her eyes to feel the moment.
Ho.. sun saathiya maahiya
Barsa de ishqa ki syahiyaan
Rang jaaun, rang rang jaaun ri, haari main
Tujhpe main jhar jhar jhar jaaun
Hoon piya bas teri main
Ho chhu le toh khari main
(Toh khari main khari main...)
Ho.. sun saathiya maahiya
Barsa de ishqa ki syahiyaan
Main ret si, boond ka zariya tu
Paa ke tujhe bheeg jaaun re
Main ret si, boond ka zariya tu
Paa ke tujhe bheeg jaaun ri
Tar jaaun tar tar jaaun
Dariya ye tar jaaun jee
Ishq ye paake main tera
Nikhar jaaun ri...
Piya bas teri main
Ho.. chhu le toh khari main
toh khari main khari main...
Ho.. sun saathiya maahiya
Barsa de ishqa ki syahiyaan
The song ends with everyone baffled to see the deepness of the voice it felt as if the singer feels each and every word she is singing. Everybody's trance was broken with raghav's voice.
Raghav: "woah....what a performace lets see the last performance of the day which is from none other than fab 5"
Fab 5 came and took there positions: Cabir at the back with the drums, dhruv at the corner of the right with his guitar, alya with her piano next to cabir on the left hand side, mukti with her electric guitar in the left hand side corner opposite dhruv and last but not the least manik with his guitar in the front but in between aliya nd cabir with his smirk.
Cabir started by his beats and then dhruv and manik joined in by strumming their guitar matching up to cabir's beats. After a few mins mukti joined in and so did aliya with the all five making a similar tune manik started singing by closing his eyes and feeling the music.
Khamoshiyan aawaaz hain
Tum sun'ne to aao kabhi
Chhukar tumhe khill jaayengi
Ghar inko bulaao kabhi
Beqarar hain baat karne ko
Kehne do inko zaraa..
Khamoshiyan.. teri meri khamoshiyan
Khamoshiyan.. lipti hui khamoshiyan
Kya uss gali mein kabhi tera jaana hua
Jahaan se zamaane ko guzre zamaana hua
Mera samay toh wahin pe hai thehra hua
Bataaun tumhe kya mere sath kya kya hua
Khamoshiyan ek saaz hai
Tum dhun koi laao zaraa
Khamoshiyan alfaaz hain
Kabhi aa gunguna le zara
Beqarar hain baat karne ko
Kehne do inko zaraa.. haa..
Khamoshiyan.. teri meri khamoshiyan
Khamoshiyan.. lipti hui khamoshiyan
Nadiya ka paani bhi khamosh behta yahaan
Khili chandani mein chhipi lakh khamoshiyan
Baarish ki boondon ki hoti kahaan hai zubaan
Sulagte dilon mein hai khamosh uthta dhuaan
Khamoshiyan aakaash hai
Tum udne toh aao zara
Khamoshiyan ehsaas hai
Tumhe mehsoos hoti hai kya
Beqarar hain baat karne ko
Kehne do inko zara.. haa..
Khamoshiyan.. teri meri khamoshiyan
Khamoshiyan.. lipti hui khamoshiyan
Manik ended the song with his humming, cabir's slow beats and mukti guitar tune. Everyone was amazed by the intensity of the songs sung by the singers. Everyone's trance was broken by raghav's voice.
Raghav: "amazing perfomances by our amazing singers but there can be only one winner which was selected by our judges so the winner for this round is......."
Raghav: "amazing perfomances by our amazing singers but there can be only one winner which was selected by our judges so the winner for this round is.......wings "
Fab 5 shocked and wings rocked.
After finding out the winners Manik leaves from their in anger and everyone in the room was shocked to know fab 5 didn't win.
Nandini went from there to find manik. She saw him on the music room playing his guitar vigorously and his hand bleeding. She ran to him and hugged him tightly. Manik was shocked but gave in with the same intensity.
Nandini: "You're right, I'm not really good at anything. Even I'm amazed that I made it past the first round, and I'm really grateful for it. But I think I can say this: If you choose other impressive students with good singing skills and lots of awards, but those students don't practise because they're lazy, or they just give up because it's raining, and you feel like it might be damaging to your school, then pick me. I'm slower than others, but I don't give up. I stick things through to the end. That's why my nickname is Noah's Snail. Please raise this one snail."
Manik smiled as he knew she meant every word. Seeing manik smile she gave him a faint smile.
At malhotra mansion
manik's parents gave nandini cinema tickets as a congratulatory present. Nandini decides to go with nyonika.
This gives nyonika another opportunity for matchmaking fun times; she tells nandini she's running late, then sends manik instead.
Nyonika credits her acting for this success, but sanjana has caught a whiff of manik's changed attitude and wonders if nandini is the reason to which she smiles and calls nyonika.
manik and nandini end up being with each other with popcorn in hand. They start watching the movie but manik is not interested instead he tries to figure out his feelings and why he gets affected when nandini talks about harshad. During the movie manik think off mischieve. He gets his right foot and start to touch her leg which drives her crazy and he can see the affect he is having on her to which he smirks.
Nandini: "manik stop it...we are in a cinema"
Manik: "so agar hum ghar mein hote toh tum mujhe allow karti"
Nandini (sighs in frustration): "shut up"
Manik goes closer to her and drowns in her chocolaty brown eyes and starts leaning near his lips. At last when there lips were about to touch nandini pushed him and looked the other side to hide her blush.
The movie got over with a lot of pecks, teasing and kisses. They walk near the car and when manik was about to sit in the drivering seat.
Nandini: "manik can I drive"
Manik: "do you know how to"
Nandini: "yh why"
Manik: "because I don't want to die at a young age."
Nandini: "haha very funny give me the car keys"
Manik hands over the car keys and sits in the passenger seat and nandini sat in the driver seat.
Nandini started driving and manik was busy on his phone. He didnt notice that the car has lost balanced and nandini is finding hard to control the car but when he hears the car screeching, he looks up in alarm and when it was about to hit the tree he got the stirring wheel and got control. He took out the car keys and looked at nandini with eyes widening in shock.
Manik took some mins to come back to his senses and started yelling at her and told her to get out of the car. She got out followed by himself.
Manik: "you can go by yourself"
Nandini: "but..."
Manik (in between): "no buts"
Nandini having no option turned and started to move away and crossed the road with it looking around. To which a car came with full speed and she flew to the other side if the road. Manik heard a car stopping with a screech tow hich he looked around finding nandini in pools of blood being surrounded with people. He ran to her got her in his arms and yelled at the driver. After that he got in his car and rushed to teh hospital .
nandini ends up in the hospital with a broken leg and in an unconscious statd, attended to by the adults. She's worried about manik, and breathes a sigh of relief when nyonika tells her that he's already at left as soon after bringing her here.
So it's with surprise that they all look up when manik enters the room.
