Next Morning
At Space Academy

Manik again fought with Nandini about how can he drown in the water like that and he came to college without having his breakfast. Nandini was really very frustrated on his silence behavior and still couldn't help but taking his breakfast along with her at college. Manik was passing by the basketball court with Nandini tailing behind him asking for having his breakfast when a basketball directly hit on his head making him fall on the ground holding his head in pain.

Manik:- Ahhhh….

Nandini:- (panicked) oh shit. Manik are you alright? Did get hurt badly? Come, let's go to the sickbay.

Aryaman immediately came to him, forwarded his hand towards him and said,

Aryaman:- Sorry bro. It was a mistake, we didn't intend to hit you.

Manik rejected his help and stood up by his own glaring at him. If looks could kill burn someone Aryaman would be ashes till then.

Manik:- (angrily) Of course it wasn't intended losers.

Aryaman:- Hey why are you getting so personal bro? And you are best in studies that's doesn't mean we are losers, okey?

Manik:- (with attitude) Oh please I am best in everything. Beat me if you can.

Aryaman:- Okey then, let's have a match.

Nandini:- What the hell guys? Aryaman just stop it and Manik come with me, you need treatment.

Manik:- Challenge accepted, but I have some condition.

Aryaman:- What is it?

Manik:- (smirked) This match will happen between just you & me and who will lose, he have to leave this college forever.

Nandini:- (shouted) Stop it guys. What are you? Some five years old kids?

Aryaman:- okey fair enough.

Manik:- That's great. Nandini get me a strong painkiller from the nearby pharmacy.

Nandini:- Are you mad? You need treatment Manik, why can't you get it?

Manik:- Nandini just do what I am saying.

Nandini:- I am not getting anything for you. You are coming with me to the sickbay and that's final.

Meanwhile whole college gathered at the basketball court. Manik saw Navya standing there and said,

Manik:- Navya right?

Navya:- Yes.

Manik:- Get me a strong painkiller.

Navya:- (confused) Me?

Manik:- (glared) Yes you. Go and get me a strong painkiller.

Navya:- (scared) Okey.

Navya went away when Nandini shouted at Aryaman.

Nandini:- Aryaman what's wrong with you? Can't you see he got hit on his head? He needs treatment immediately.

Aryaman:- Why are you saying this to me? Tell him, he started it.

Nandini:- (angrily) And you are going to end it right? Do you really think that you can beat him? He is actually best in everything.

Aryaman:- Let's see.

Nandini:- (slapping her forehead) Oh God what's wrong with you both? Why are you behaving like some cat and dog?

Navya brought painkiller for Manik and he took them. After sometime he changed his outfit and came to the basketball court.

Aryaman:- It will be 45 minutes match and till then number of basket will decide who will be the winner.

Manik:- Okey.

Game started and Manik was doing really well. Seems like he is pro in this game. But Aryaman was not a weak player, he is the captain of college basketball team. He was giving tough time to Manik after all whole college was gathered there to watch the match and he can't give up this easily while Nandini slapped her forehead as she knew that Manik is definitely going to win. She knew him from childhood and she also knew that Manik was state level basketball champion so it's not possible for Aryaman to beat him. After having a tough match Manik won the game.

Nandini:- (rolling eyes) See I told you, he is best in everything.

Manik:- (smirked) So Mr. Aryaman Khurana, that's it. It was not nice meeting you though, hope to not see you in college again. Goodbye.

Aryaman was bending his head in shame as his reputation is gone in front of the whole college.

Nandini:- Manik please don't do this. He won't get admission in any college in the middle of the year. Please let it be just for me, please.

Aryaman:- Nandini you don't need to beg for me in front of your boyfriend.

Nandini:- (shocked) Boyfriend? Manik is not my boyfriend.

Aryaman:- (confused) But he said he is your boyfriend.

Manik:- Yes Nandini is not my girlfriend. Actually she is my wife. We had a childhood marriage.

Nandini:- (confused) Manik are you out of your mind? Do you know what even you are saying?

Manik:- Oh come on Nandini, there is nothing to feel shy about it. Aryaman you can stay in this college as you can see, I just can't say no to my girl.

Aryaman:- But…

Manik:- I know you are feeling like I am doing favor to you but I really can't see my girl upset. So please it's a request.

Saying this Manik left there and Nandini also ran behind him.

At parking lot

Manik was about to sit in his car when Nandini held his hand and stopped him.

Nandini:- (flaming in anger) What the hell was that?

Manik:- (innocently) What?

Nandini:- Don't you dare to act innocent.  Why did you tell him about our childhood marriage?

Manik:- We are married and that's true right?

Nandini:- For God's sake it was a childhood marriage Manik. Then we were immature kids.

Manik:- But marriage is a pure bonding of two souls. I don't know about you but I always considered you as my wife only and today I said this him just to protect you from the evil eyes of that jerk, that's it.

Nandini:- Wife? Seriously? It was you who manipulated me by saying that if you fill my hairline with vermilion then we will be together forever. Manik, you and me can never be together.

Manik:- Why Nandini? Why can't we be together forever? Did you promised me to be with me always?

Nandini:- I was a kid then. How could I take decision of our future then?

Manik:- so you are backing off from your promises?

Nandini:- Yes I am backing off from my promises.

Manik:- Then hear me loud and clear Ms. Nandini Murthy, I will make you mine again and this time forever.

Tum bewafa ho
Sab jante the
Phir bhi tumha hum
Dil mante the,
Huma bhi sheher ma
Kayi chahte the
Phir bhi tumha hum
Dil mante the….
