Nandini's place
Nandini was sleeping peacefully in her room. She was feeling her bed to be softer and fluffier than usual days.. Chucking all thoughts, she continued sleeping. Harsh rays of sunlight didn't let her sleep. She opened her eyes and realised that she was sleeping on

A giant teddy. Her smile was reaching her ears, her eyes were twinkling, she was completely mesmerised with it. Her eyes fell on the card attached with the teddy

"Dear Angel

'Bears sleep by day. At night they stay awake to chase away bad dreams.

- Jesse O'Neil'

This teddy will chase away all bad dreams while my Angel will sleep peacefully.

From
Your Monster"

She kissed the card and hugged and kissed teddy numerous number of times. She was enjoying cuddling the teddy when she saw that her room is full of teddies and cards. She got up from bed and reached first teddy which was

a monster teddy. Monster teddy has a card with Manik's photo printed on it.

"My Angel,

You call me monster when I get angry. Trust me at times, I fake anger just to hear my 'this' name from you. It gives me a feeling that I belong to you, it shows the rights that you have on me. I can be a monster to the world to save you from evil eyes. You are precious. You are my Angel. This teddy will remind you of me. Whenever you miss me, just cuddle it.

Always there for you
Monster"

She moved to other teddy, which was

A Bheem teddy and the card has Mukti's photo printed. Nandini couldn't control her laughter. She was just thinking what Manik's thought was in relating Mukti to Bheem's toy and opened the card eagerly.

"I know you must have laughed a lot after seeing Bheem toy with Mukti's Photo Card. I can never forget the first day of our college when Mukti blasted on me thinking that I am some random bad guy and she has to protect you from me. When I saw this toy in the market, that day flashed in my mind and I bought it and named it Mukti. Mukti is ready to fight the world to protect you from world. She is Bheem in our life. I can't thank her enough for always being there to protect you"

It was time for cupid teddy and Cabir's Photo Card.

"You call Cabir a cupid because he helped many lovers in their story. So what better teddy then a cupid teddy to represent Cabir on this day. I know he is you bhayu and you love him a lot. With this teddy you can cherish all yours and Cabir's memories."

A cute couple teddy was her next pick with Dhruv and Alya's picture card.

"Dhruv and Alya, a true epitome of beautiful and ever-green love. They have been together since childhood but their love has only grown in leaps and bounds. I know you admire their relationship. I also know that you secretly wish to have such a beautiful relation. Don't ask how I know because I know you better then you know yourself. So, this couple teddy will always remind of Dhruv and Alya, their beautiful love and your secret wish."

Nandini blushed a lot after reading that card.

Indian teddy doll with Navya's Photo Card.

"Navya and you share a very different bond. The way you understand each other reminds me of my bond I share with Cabir. She pampers you like a mother, takes care of you like a sister and have fun like a friend. She is different, she looks Indian but has modern outlook towards life and that's what makes her special. This Indian teddy doll to represent Indian Doll of our group."

She then moved to

Teddies family. Of course it also has a note attached

"This teddy family represents the family which we all have formed. It has an angel, a bheem, a cupid, love birds, a doll and a monster. You call it your second family. I promise that we will stay together like this forever. Hamesha!!"

Tears were unstoppable now. She was beyond overwhelmed, totally choked with emotions. When Angel is shedding tears, it's impossible that her Monster, her soulmate won't feel it. She instantly received a message from Manik.

"Angel I know you are very emotional right now but you know I don't like tears in your eyes. So please wipe those tears and smile. Now, put down all the curtains and switch off all the lights. Your next surprise awaits you under your bed. But don't you dare shed one more tear, else you will face monster today."

Nandini after wiping her tears and doing what Manik asked went to see what's under her bed.

She found star shape glowing teddies with the note

"For My Star.

You always shone like a star for me, always kept me away from darkness. These star teddies will glow throughout the night when my star will be in her peaceful slumber having beautiful dreams.

Yours Monster"

Nandini's happiness was at peak, smile was not leaving her face, a constant twinkle adore her beautiful eyes. She was jumping in the whole room cuddling one or the other teddy. With great difficulty she got hold of her excitement and got ready for the college in the minimum possible time.

Space Academy

Nandini reached college with Mukti and a beautiful twinkling smile. Mukti didn't ask her anything because she knew the reason. She was the one who helped Manik in arranging all the teddies in her room. She can do anything for her happiness. They reached jam room and saw everyone having fun. They greeted everyone and joined them but Nandini's eyes were getting locked with Manik every now and then. It was like the eyes were having their own conversation. No words required. Manik was elated that his Angel is happy, after all he put in all the efforts for this only.

They attended all the lectures while enjoying themselves in each other's company. After college, as usual Manik went to drop Nandini at her place. But is it possible that he ends the day without any surprise. No!!

He handed her a bouquet which has many many small small teddies. Its beauty was beyond words. Nandini kept looking at it lovingly.

Manik (Lovingly said): I wanted to give you infinite teddy bouquet but we can't define infinity. Consider it as my limitation and this teddy bouquet as infinite teddy bouquet. Infinite teddies to give you infinite smiles, infinite cuddles, infinite joy and infinite laughter at every given moment. Your smile is precious, it brightens my day, soothes my pain, and gives peace to my soul. All this is not for you but for me. I am v selfish person Angel, I can do anything for my peace and happiness and what I did today was nothing. Always smile Angel. Always smile for me!!

Nandini remained silent for few minutes and keep reading Manik's eyes which depicts care, concern, love, respect, admiration, every beautiful and positive feeling. She has by now realised that Manik is not just good friend, he is beyond that. Then Nandini took out a gift and handed to Manik. Manik smiled, he knew that it's not possible that his Angel doesn't gift him anything. With a sweet smile, he opened the gift and found

An angel soft toy. Manik cuddled the toy close to his heart and at the same moment Nandini placed her head on her heart. He lovingly took both the angels in his embrace.

Nandini: Manik!! When I saw monster, cupid, bheem, couple and doll teddy in my room, I thought why you didn't get me an angel teddy. But tumse acche se mere dil ki baat ko kaun jaanta hai. Tumhe pata tha na ki I got an angel teddy for you. (Manik smiled on this and nodded his head in yes. This is what soulmates are, they are near or far but they know what their mates thinks) Accha hua tum nahi laye, kyunki Angel ko to apne Monster ke paas rehna hai. Jab bhi main tumhare paas na hun, tab iss Angel ko dekh kar, iss Angel (pointing towards herself) ke saath spend kare moments yaad karna, smile apne aap aa jaayegi. Thanks a lot Manik. Thank you so much.

They bid bye to each other and moved to their places.
