Nandini was shocked and hurt by Manik's words!

Nandini's POV
How can he say that? He very well know that how much I am scared of darkness ! He thinks that I will take advantage of his weakness? Whatever I did was just to check that if he still love me or care for me or not? He realm agreed to what Mukti said that I am a sympathy gainer? Did he really? I know I did wrong Manik but whatever you did now was not also right! You are changed Manik!You are changed!

She was sitting in the corner of the room just like a baby who is stucked between the evils in this big world and crying continuously reminsing How Manan was formed! How there love story started!

(BG-- Juddaaaaaaiii )

Flashback
Fab 5 slowly started getting impressed from Nandini and forgave her ,decided not to bully her more!

Time flew away along with Manan's awkwardness! They started getting close to each other! Comfortable with each other! Their bong grew stronger with the time!

One Day, Fab 5 decided tongo on a trip to Goa with Navni! Navya was Cabir's official girlfriend now! When they reached Goa, they all stayed in Holiday Inn Resort !

Cabir and Dhruv was sharing a room, Manik had a single room! Mukti and Aliya was sharing a room , Navya and Nandini was sharing a room! They all were tired so they decided to take rest and then go for sight seeing in evening!
In Evening, All went for a boat ride! When they reached there, All decided to drive their own boat but Nandini didn't knew how to drive a boat! Nandini told this problem to everyone so Cabir said " Are! To koi ni Manik haina

After listening this, Aliya got angry!

Aliya-- why Manik? come! I'll teach u!

Dhruv-- a..a..a! Aliya come! you teach me! Let Manik teach her! (Winks at Manik)

Aliya half heartedly agreed and sat with Dhruv on one ride! Like Manan, Cavya also sat on one ride each! Mukti was tired so she dropped the idea of boating and sat on one of the bench to see them boating!

Manan-

Manik-- Look Nandini! Hold this handle and hit the clutch slowly!

He puts his hand on Nandini's when Nandini looks at him. Both had an eyelock which was broken by Nandini's scream as she slipped in the water!

Manik panicked seeing her and jumped into the river to save her as she didn't knew how to swim!

Manik picked her in his arms and came out of the river! Mukti ran towards them and asked him what happened to her? Manik narrated her the situation and she ran to the car to get the dry cloth or scarf if by chance someone carried! Till the time Nandini got consciousness back! Manik saw this and immediately hugged her before she could say anything!
Slowly everyone came near them after seeing the hustle bustle there!

Manik-- tumhe pata hai how much I got scared? Now are you fine?

Nandini-- yeah am fine Manik!! Relax! Kuch nhi bua mujhe!

Manik-- agar kuch hojata tumhe toh mera kya hota!

Manik unknowingly spoke those unspoken words . When Nandini heard this, she blushed and look everywhere except Manik while Fab 5 was shocked to witness his confession!

Cabir to lighten the atmosphere further spoke "Manik take Nandini back to Hotel ! She needs rest for now!"

Manik agreed and went to the Hotel with Nandini in the car and when he reached, he asked driver to go back to them as that will be needing a car!

Manik picked her up in his arms and took her to the room whole way carrying her and Nandini was smiling at him!

When Manik reached the room , he put her on bed and asked her "why are you smiling at me like this?"

Nandini-- Nothing! Thankyou for saving me Manik!

Manik(lost in her eyes)-- I didn't saved you! I saved myself!

Manik said this unknowingly and Nandini hugged him immediately as she got so happy but she herself don't know the reason behind this happiness!

But their Moment broke when someone knocked the door! Manik went and opened the door , it was room service!

RS -- sir you asked for water?

Manik-- yes! Thankyou :)

Rs-- Have a good day sir!

And he left!
........
At Night

Nandini was in the room and resting while Fab 5 and Navya was near swimming pool area!

Manik was sitting on the edge of the pool dipping his legs inside the water
thinking about Nandini when his thought process broke by a tap on his shoulder! He turned to see the Peron and got shocked to see Harshad and Soha there!

(Harshad and soha's introduction ~
harshad is a childhood friend of Manik and Cabir! His father is a family friend of Malhotra's too! He likes Mukti!
Soha is Harshad's sister and they both are spilt brats! Don't respect anyone! Soha is mad for Manik but Manik thinks her as his friend only! But she wants him at any cost! Manik is unaware about her feelings for him!)

Manik-- wow! What a pleasant surprise ! Kesa hai? (hugged him happily) but then noticed soha and said Hi soha! How are you?

Fab 5 was also happy to see them and hugged them one by one!

Harshad-- hy guys! Tum log yahan? We just came here for a vacation with my friends!

He saw Mukti standing there and was staring her! Beside Harshad, Hus friend was standing who was staring Mukti lustly while Mukti felt uncomfortable so she excused herself and went to her room!

Harshad's starring session was broken by Soha's voice!

Soha-- hy manik! You know I missed you so much!

Manik-- missed me? Really? Great! Okay guys let's go back and take rest! Will meet here tomorrow morning!

Everyone dispersed to there rooms!
.........
Manik was passing by Nandini's room when he noticed the door is slightly opened so he moved forward to close the door but before that he peeped inside to see if Nandini is fine or not!
When he peeped inside, he got all aww as Nandini was sleeping so cutely holding the pillow near to her chest!
He went inside and saw some hair strands falling on her face, he sat beside her to remove them and thought...."she is so beautiful! I never seen such a beautiful girl in my life because she is beautiful not just by Face but also my heart! Now I don't want to waste more time to tell her about my feelings! Tomorrow morning I will tell her! "

He adjust the duvet on her properly and left the room kissing her forehead and closing the door perfectly!
........
Next Morning
Aliya, Navya and Dhruv were gone for Shopping and made Dhruv a Bali-ka-bakra! Mukti was still sleeping in her room and Manik, Cabir & harshad was sitting near swimming pool talking about random stuffs while Nandini was still taking baths and Soha was changing swim suit in the room!

By the time Soha came out,Cabir and everyone thought to have a drink so they moved towards the drink counter! They asked Soha and her friends to join them but they refused saying that they want to swim!

Soha was moving towards the pool but the idea of bullying someone strikes her mind! She saw a waiter was coming towards her carrying drinks in a tray so she asked her friends to push her on him! They did and the drinks fell on herShe shouted on that waiter

Soha-- hey you! And andhe ho kya? Dekhkar nahi chal sakte?

Waiter being a old aged man still said sorry!

Soha-- tumhare sorry we ye theek hojaega?

She was about to slap that Man when someone blocked her hand, she turns her head to see the person and their come our NANDINI !

Soha-- how dare you?

Nandini-- don't ever try to do that again!

She asked that Man to go and said she'll handle all this! That man left nodding his head!

Soha-- hello! He spoiled my dress!and you let him go! Who the hell are you?

Nandini-- it was just water! Not an acid! And moreover you are wearing a swim suit na? Then you should not have any problem with water! They are made for water! You know what? Tum kese log sirf aate hi logo ko bully karne ho! And he is just like your Father ad you was about to slap him! Shameful!

Soha-- ohh please! Don't compare him to my father!

Nandini-- actually you are right! He deserves a better daughter!

Soha's friend-- and tum jese log yahan sirf Hero banned aate ho! Wait a minute! Kahin tum uss waiter ki beti to nahi? Tumhe dekhkar to lagta bhi hai !

Soha and her friends laughed at this!

Nandini-- mujhe dekhkar tumhe kya lagta hai ya kya nahi I really don't care about that but tumhe dekhkar mujhe kya lagta I am sure you won't be able to listen! Trust me!

Soha-- you!!!!!........

By listening these voices, Manik, harshad and Cabir came near them

Manik-- what happened Nandini?

Harshad-- kya hua Soha?

Nandini-- you know her Manik?

Manik-- ya! He is my childhood friend Harshad and she is Soha ! Harshad's sister!

Soha got upset to hear that Manik didn't addressed her as his friend!

Nandini-- nothing Manik! Him to bas aide hi! (And smiled at him)

Soha-- yah Bhai! Nothing happened!

Manik-- BTW guys! She is Nandini! My........girlfriend

Nandini looked at him shockingly but soon recovered and leaves the place saying that she'll come in a while!

Soha also got numb after hearing this!

Manik too excused himself and followed her ! He saw her going towards the garden , he ran and holded her wrist to stop her!

Nandini-- manik! Leave my hand!

Manik didn't budge!

Nandini-- manik I said Mera haath choro manik!

Manik-- yeah haath chorne ke liye thori pakra hai!

Nandini-- me tumhari girlfriend nahi hu Manik! (She said this cryingly)

Manik cupped her face and said " I know ki tum nhi ho but I want ki tum banjao! I want you to be my first and last! I love you Nandini! I love you so much! Hamesha❤

Nandini looked into his eyes which held so much love and care for her! So much respect for her! She tightly hugged him!

Nandini-- I love you too Manik!
Kitni der lagadi tumne yeah kehne me!

Manik-- sorry na Baba! I was scared to tell you!

Nandini-- ohh acha? Manik Malhotra ko bhi Darr lagta hai!

Manik understood her sarcasm and then they both laughed heartily!

Slowly slowly Manik started coming towards her! He moved his face to kiss Nandini's forehead, she closed her eyes!

Then he comes downwards and kissed her both eyes! Then he eyed her lips and slowly kept his lips on her pouty ones!

Both were relishing each others taste and Manik slowly broke the kiss when he felt Nandini breathless! Both looked into each others eyes and shyly Nandini tightly hugged him!

Next day, they both told this news to Everyone , all of them were happy except Aliya and Soha! After whatever soha done , she was dead so Harshad moved back to America with his Father!

Flashback ends

The darkness was killing her! She was so scared that she wasn't able to breath properly!
.............
Here Manik reached his home and lied in his bedroom when he thought "agar Nandini sachme waha hui to? Nahi nahi! She just want to trouble me and get worried for her! So she can win easily!"

Here Navya was continuously trying to call Nandini but her phone was showing switched off! She even tried to call Cabir and messaged him but he wasn't replying her as he broke up with her on the insistence of Fab 5!
She called everyone but none picked her call as everyone stopped talking to her when she supported Nandini!

Whole Night Nandini was as there in the store room scared of darkness! She was badly broken thinking of what Manik thinks of her!

Here Manik was not bale to sleep whole night, he was restless but somehow his eyes catched sleep!
...........
Next morning
Manik woke up and switched on his phone and saw 50 missed calls and 30 messages from her! When he read the messages, it said that "Manik Nandini is not picking up the call! She is not home from last night!"

Manik got worried reading all the messages and called Aliya immediately!

Aliya-- yah Manik?

Manik-- Aliya did Nandini CE home last night?

Aliya-- Manik vo actually... Nandini doesn't live with me anymore! She changed her house a long ago!

Manik-- what? But why she didn't told me?

But he chucked all his thoughts and went to college in his car!

On the other side A guard was passing by store room when he
heard some voice from inside!
He pushed the door very hardly and it fell inside! Nandini suddenly got scared! She looked up to find the guard standing over the door!

Guard-- Mam Aap uahan? Aap Puri Raat yahan thi?

Nandini didn't said anything but asked him " Bhaiya please Aap mere liye Cab le aage? "

Guard nodded and ran to get the cab for her! While she slowly walked outside the storeroom and moved out of the college! She sits in the cab and as her cab moved out of the college gate, manik's car entered the college gate!

Manik moved out of the car and asked the guard About Nandini!

Guard-- sir vo to Abhi Abhi gayi!

Manik-- iska matlab vo Puri Raat yahan thi!

Guard-- haa sir vo poori raat store room me locked thi!

Manik in anger caught his collar and said " ek Insaan poori raat college ke storeroom me band rehta hai or Tum logo ko pata hi nahi hota! Iss baat ke itne paise lete ho Tum log?

Guard-- sir vo Kal electricity failure ki wajah se Nyonika Madam ne sabko chhuti de di thi!

Manik-- what? Kal light nhi thi college me?

Guard-- nahi sir!

He left his collars and sat inside his car and Nandini's words were ringing inside his mind " Manik I am scared vo darkness! Manik Tum mujhe kabhi darkness me Akela to nahi choro ge Na! Manik save me mujhe andhere se Darr lagta hai !"
Continuously these words were ringing in his mind and he was feeling guilty each and every second!

There Nandini reached her place and emotionlessly walked inside her house !
