Time:- 10 am
At Mumbai Airport

Manik was coming back to Mumbai after completing his graduation. It's been so long he meet Nandini face to face though they used to talk to each other on vedio calls but Manik just couldn't wait to see her directly. His flight landed on time and when he came out of the airport he saw Raj waiting for him. Manik immediately hugged him and said,

Manik:- Hey Dad. How are you?

Raj:- I am fine. So how's your flight?

Manik:- it was good. Now let's go. I can't wait to see Mom.

Raj:- (smirked) can't wait to see your Mom or Nandini?

Manik:- (shyly) nothing like that.

Raj:- okey let's go.

At Malhotra Mansion

As soon as Manik entered the hall room he started shouting,

Manik:- (shouting) Mom...Mom where are you?

Neonika immediately came there and hugged Manik tightly.

Neonika:- Mera baccha, agaya tu? I missed you a lot.

Manik:- I missed you too Mom. Specially your hand made food.

Neonika:- Awww mera baccha. Koi na, ab tu agaya ha na. I will cook your favorite dishes everyday.

When Neonika was talking Manik's eyes were roaming here and there to find Nandini. But she was nowhere to be found and seeing this Neonika said,

Neonika:- (smiled) That person you are searching isn't at home.

Manik:- where is she?

Neonika:- She went to college as it's the last date for submitting her assignment.

Manik:- Mom I am leaving.

Saying this Manik started going out.

Raj:- Where are you going?

Manik:- To meet her.

Manik took the car keys from the driver and started driving himself.

Raj:- (smiled) This boy won't change for good.

Neonika:- Maybe this is called true love. They stayed away from each other for years still their love for each other never decrease at all. I think now we should think about their marriage, what's say Raj?

Raj:- What's so hurry Neonika? Manik just came back after completing his graduation, let him focus on his career for now till then Nandini will also complete her graduation. Then whenever they want they can marry each other.

Neonika:- Do you think Manik will wait for this long?

Raj:- When he could wait till now why can't he wait little more?

Neonika:- I don't know. Let's see.

At Space Academy

Manik reached Nandini's college and asked a boy,

Manik:- Nandini Murthy, 2nd year student. Do you know where she is?

Boy:- She is sitting in the college canteen with Aryaman.

Manik:- (angrily) Who's Aryaman?

Boy:- He is college trustee's son and also a student of this college.

Manik's blood boiled hearing Nandini is with a boy when he strictly forbidden her to talk to boys at college. He directly went to the college canteen and found her sitting on a corner table with a boy. They were laughing at something when that boy's hand accidentally touched her finger. That's it Manik shouted loudly,

Manik:- Nandini....

Nandini:- (shocked) Manik tum yaha?

Manik didn't replied Nandini. He held her hand and said,

Manik:- Let's go home.

Nandini:- But I have classes to attend.

Manik:- (flaming in anger) I said let's go home. Don't you get it?

Seeing Manik getting angry Nandini shut her mouth and Manik almost dragged her with him. Whole college was seeing them as if they were some alien came from other planet.

At Malhotra Mansion
In Nandini's room

Nandini:- You are such a Monster Manik. How could you drag me like that in front of the whole college?

Manik:- I don't care Nandini. Didn't I tell you to stay away from boys?

Nandini:- He is my friend Manik. We were just talking normally.

Manik:- oh I saw that how he was talking to you, by touching your finger.

Nandini:- Damn Manik what's wrong with you? He touched my finger accidentally. Trust me he is a good boy.

Manik:- he is good or bad I don't care. Just stay away from him, okey?

Nandini:- But Manik....

Manik:- (shouted) I don't want to hear anything.

Saying this Manik came out of the room when Neonika said,

Neonika:- Manik lunch is ready. Freshen up and come down, okey?

Manik:- (rudely) I am not hungry.

Neonika:- (confused) but....

Manik directly went to his room to avoid farther interaction with Neonika when Nandini came out of her room too.

Neonika:- What happened to him?

Nandini:- I don't know. He is getting angry unnecessarily.

Neonika:- please talk to him and bring him downstairs for lunch. Raj is waiting to have lunch with him.

Nandini:- Okey Aunty.

Neonika left there and Nandini was thinking about how to calm down that Monster when she got an idea. She went to Manik's room and peeked inside. Manik was sitting on the bed unpacking his begs when Nandini said,

Nandini:- koi ha?

Manik heard Nandini but didn't replied as he was still angry with her. So Nandini went inside and started singing in tolder voice,

Nandini:- Lal Lal gal,
Jase tamatar,
Manstu ka gussa,
Char gaya sad par,
Kasa manaon usa,
Lagta ha dar,
Kahungi kuch to,
Bho ho jayaga,
Or bhi lal lal,
Phir dalna paraga pani,
Balti bhar bhar....

At the end of the song Nandini held her both ears and said,

Nandini:- (cutely) Solly Monstu.

Hearing Nandini singing the same song she used to sing in childhood Manik couldn't stop himself smiling.

Nandini:- Did I just saw the Monster smiling?

Manik immediately composed himself and said,

Manik:- (rudely) No I didn't.

Nandini:- yes you did.

Manik:- (shouted) I didn't.

Nandini:- (shouted back) you did.

Manik:- No.

Nandini:- Yes.

Manik:- No.

Nandini:- Yes.

Manik:- No

Nandini:- No?

Manik:- Yes.

Nandini:- (jumped in joy) Yes you did. Yayyyyyyyyyy the Monster lost to me.

Manik:- (angrily) this is not fair Tiny Mini. You used trick like always.

Nandini back hugged Manik and said,

Nandini:- Everything is fair in love and war. I missed you Monstu.

Manik brought Nandini in front of him by holding her hands. He cupped her face, kissed her forehead and said,

Manik:- I missed you too.

Nandini:- Uncle and Aunty is waiting for us. Let's go.

Manik:- Okey, let's go.
