Nandini's POV

It was 8:30 in the night and I was still standing in front of mirror getting all dolled up. I looked at myself in the mirror and checked myself.

The black off shoulder dress which was reaching till up to my mid-thigh and showing up my slender legs with a pair of high heels was looking so good on me. It can definitely blow away Manik. I don't want his eyes to roam other than me. At least not on that Anjali.

I took out the blusher and applied it lightly over my cheeks and all of a sudden I heard someone screaming.

"Nandini... are you done? We are gett...." I saw Manik standing on the door, looking at me with wide open eyes. I looked at him through the mirror. His piercing gaze was eating me all alive. We were at 10 feet distance still he was capable of making me go weak in my knees. I couldn't control it more and I looked down.

"WOW...!!!" I heard him hoarsely. I instantly looked up with wide open eyes.

He blinked his eyes few times and then looked away. I was watching him very keenly. I saw him taking deep breaths and murmuring something to himself. Then he looked up to me again and gave me a small smile. I too passed him a smile.

He leaned on my room door and looked at me dreamily.

"you know you look... you look beautiful..." he said in a trance.

I cleared my throat so that he can come out of his trance. He instantly came out of it as per my plan.

I took the earring from the table and wore it "why are you here?" I asked him.

"woo... its already 8:30. We are getting late." He said.

I gave no heed to him and concentrated on myself.

"Anjali... must be waiting for me" he said in a very casual tone. As soon as he uttered those words, I looked at him instantly.

"she can wait for some time. I am getting ready na" I said coldly.

I saw his expression changing instantly "haann... par wo kya hain... I don't like when she waits for me... you know achha nahi lagta" he said in teasing tone.

I glared him.

"I will wait down stairs, come soon" he smiled at me and went away before I could say anything.

I was about to call him, but he was gone already. I sighed and did touch ups fast, so that we can leave for the so called party.

I gave myself a final glance and smiled on my own.

What was I doing? Why I am doing this? What was the need of me to go with him? I myself pushed him away, to jab wo kisi aur ke karib jaa raha hai to fir mujhe dard kyun ho raha hai? Why I am feeling so weird?

I closed my eyes to control my thoughts. Right now I just don't care about anything, what I care is I don't want him to be alone with Anjali that's it.

I sighed and went down.

After a long good bye session, I and Manik left for the party. In the car, I conveniently ignored him. He tried to talk to me, but I ignored it.

Finally, we reached at Anjali's house and we went inside.

We entered together in to a big hall, crowded with all age of people. I felt a little distance, because I didn't know anyone there apart from Manik. I looked at him and he looked at me.

Suddenly we heard Anjali shouting his name.

"Manik...." He came running to him and hugged him instantly. He too gave in the hug. And what was I doing? Nothing just standing there like a fool.

Finally, she broke the hug and stood in front of us. She was wearing a beautiful sequin dress with normal heels.

"My... My... someone looks handsome" she said checking Manik out. My eyes bulged out hearing her.

"And I see, someone with you" she said looking at me. I smiled fakely at her.

She smiled at me genuinely, atleast I thought so.

"hey... Nandini right? Hii" she said. I extended my hand to shook her hand.

"par Manik tumne to kaha tha, you will be coming alone? I thought you will be my date" she said sadly.

"ha, but... you know Nandini..." he was finding words to say that I am his date. Like really?

I wrapped my hands around his hand and said "uhmmm Anjali... actually I am his date tonight. I hope you don't mind" I said with a sugary tone.

She looked at me with wide open eyes and then her eyes travelled to Manik. They both looked at each other and then gestured each other something through their eyes. I was trying to understand but failed miserably.

"Manik" we all turned to our right and saw a man in his 50s walking towards us with a drink in his hand.

"Chandu uncle. Hii" Manik took out his hand from my grasp and hugged him.

"hello to you young man" he said with a big grin.

"kaise hai aap? Did you take your medicines?" he asked breaking the hug.

Chandu uncle made a face and then turned towards Anjali, she shrugged her shoulders and ignored him.

"ahhh... le lunga, kya jaldi hai..." he said.

He turned towards me and then said "well I see a very very beautiful lady standing beside you"

He took my hand and lightly kissed on my knuckle making me feel a little uncomfortable.

"gorgeous lady, welcome to my house. Myself Bharat Ahuja. Father of a very pretty girl Anjali Ahuja" he side hugged Anjali.

"he is a bit flirty, but a nice man" Manik whispered in my ears.

"hello... Nandini" I said.

"well this is my right to ask you Manik that who is she?" he straight forwardly asked Manik leaving me and Manik in an awkward position. We were not would be's, nor we were love birds.

"uhmmm.. she is" Manik looked at me... "she is.... a friend... a very very special friend" he said looking at me dreamily.

"ohh.. I see" he exclaimed.

"okay... Dad.... Enough of this. Come Manik our batch mates want to meet you" Anjali said and dragged Manik along with her.

I stood there looking at them from a distance, while Chandu uncle came and stood beside me.

"hmm...." He said.

I turned to him and asked "what?"

"I see Love in the air... don't you?" he said. I looked at Anjali and Manik holding each other's hands and laughing uncontrollably.

"main unki nahi, tumhari baat kar raha tha" he said and I instantly tuned towards him.

He laughed a bit and then said "jab koi pyar karne wala zindagi se chala jaata hai, tabhi unki kadar hoti hai. Bahot time hai na tum dono ke pass, isiliye ladte rehte ho. Par ek baar sochna, agar ladte hi rahoge, to zindagi kab jioge? Khushiyaan kab dekhoge?" he said.

I got lost in his words, how true he is saying.

"Nandini, my child. Insaan bura nahi hota, kabhi kabhi haalat aise ho jate hai ki wo insaan ko bura bana deti hai. Par... hume dhyan rakhna hota hai ke hum uss insaan ko galat na samjkar, biti baato ko bhula kar ek nayi shuruaat kare. God bless you my child" he patted my head and went away towards his other guests.

I turned my gaze towards Manik, who was looking at me time to time making sure that I won't feel uncomfortable. He was smiling the fullest.

I smiled seeing him smile. His smile, which mattered me the most few years back. Did that smile still matters me? Did I forgive Manik for whatever he did?

I saw him coming near to me suddenly and I shook my head to come out of my thoughts.

"listen, you not feeling uncomfortable right?" he asked me and I just looked at him.

Could I forgive him? Whatever happened, happened, but was he alone at the mistake? But what after I forgive him? Will he ask me to marry him? Can I marry him? What if something like this happens again? What will be his reaction? He can never change; his anger can never change. But...

"Nandini...." he shook my shoulders.

I looked here and there and then at him to ensure that he was in front of me.

"what? Where are you lost?" he asked me.

"uhmm...." I cleared my throat to compose myself a bit.

"uhmm.. wo... nothing" I said.

"you okay right? Do you need anything?" he asked me lovingly.

He looked here and there again and then dragged me with him "come."

We both stood in front of the bar counter, he made me sit on one chair and said to bartender "can I have a glass of mock tail for her. please"

Bartender nodded and quickly gave him the glass.

"here. Take this." He handed me the drink. I took the drink and sipped it.

"Manik...?" we heard some random guy with blonde hair calling him from far. He gestured him to come to him. Manik nodded and turned to me. Giving me a smile he started walking.

I pulled his jacket a little and made him stop. He turned to me and looked at my hand which was resting on his jacket.

"don't go. Please" I whispered lightly.

He smiled and tucked some hair behind my ears "I am right here. I am not going anywhere. Okay? You drink this. I'll be back" he said and walked away smilingly.

I saw him going away from me. It was burning me from inside. I immediately remembered how he break everything in between us just like that. How he didn't even look at me once when I went to his house. How he said that I should just throw away his memories which he gave me.

And I watched him again, is he the same person? Yes, he is. he will not change. I know. Agar kal jaake wapas aisa kuch hoga, he will take his family's side. I don't know what I am to him. But I clearly know what he is for me.

I turned my face from him to avoid my inner turmoil. I closed my eyes to clear out all the mess I have in my life. My best friend loves me, the person whom I love, I don't know whether I love him or not now. he is begging for the apology; I don't know whether I should give it to him or not. I don't know anything. I fucking don't know anything.

I turned around to see the dance floor flooded with lovey dovey couple. I was about to look away, but one pair took all my attention. That was Anjali and Manik, dancing together over a song, he holding her from her waist.

I clutched the glass in my hand tightly. Why? why can't I just see him with someone else? Why it burns inside? I took the side glass from the bar and drank whatever it was, it was a little bitter, but it calmed my inner burnings. They were talking and dancing. I saw him hugging her tightly.

I turned towards the bar table and grabbed the plate full of drinks. I need to calm myself. I drank one by one all the drinks in a go and shook my head rapidly.

I blinked my eyes few times and laughed hard.

Manik's POV

After leaving Nandini near bar table in sane state, I came back to my friend to meet them. Anjali dragged me towards the dance floor to dance, I glanced at Nandini, she was back facing me. She was a little upset, she even asked me to stay back near bar table. I regret it, but I think she needs a little time to figure out everything. Slowly she is forgiving me, I could feel it. but she needs to win this forgiving battle all alone. So that is why I left her there.

"So...?" Anjali said grabbing my attention towards her.

"Soo...?" I asked her in return.

"Nandini....?" she said looking at her. I smiled inwardly and nodded.

"Nandini..." I said proudly looking at her.

"lucky she" she whispered looking at her.

"what?" I asked immediately. She shook her head.

"hmm... so you know about me now. tell me about you now, no secrets. Who is he?" I asked directly.

She smiled painfully and said "you"

And I stood there numb.

"listen... it's not a joke okay?" I tried to make some sense.

She shook her head and said "I am not joking Manik" she said.

I stood there like a fool, dint know how to react, what to say, and what not to.

"I... I really... don't... know what to say" I stammered.

She smiled "it's okay. Manik. I just wanted to confess it. I am not hoping for an answer."

"from the start, I used to like you. Pehle aisa lagta tha, it's just because I am attracted to you. Kabhi maine iss feelings ko seriously hi nahi liya. Phir jab tum India waapas gaye to samaj aaya that this is just not attraction. I have already fallen for you. Par over the phone main tumhe batana nahi chahti thi, so I waited for you to come here" she explained. How foolish of me that I missed it. that is why she was crying when I was leaving for India.

"phir tum aaye yaha. Par... tab tak bahot der ho chuki thi. Wo jagah jo mujhe chahiye thi, wo already reserved hai. For forever. And wo jagah Nandini ki hai. Wo meri to kabhi thi hi nahi. par..." she had tears in her eyes while speaking.

I pressed her hands tightly in my hand.

She wiped her tears and looked at me "par... I am not angry on you. You are a very good friend Manik. And I know I will be always your friend. Par mujhe sab kuch bhulane ke liye, move on karne ke liye, I had to tell you about this" she cried.

"hey....shh..." I hugged her tight. I caressed her hairs lightly. How could I not see this? She was right in front of me and I just ignored.... I was not there when she needed a friend's shoulder to cry and I hate myself for that.

"don't hate yourself Manik" she cried harder in to my hug. I broke the hug and looked at her confusingly.

She wiped her tears again and said "I know you very well. Ab tum inn sab ke liye bhi khud hi ko genhgaar samj rahe honge. But Manik, you can't hold someone else's feelings for you. You can't stop someone else to not love you. I was at mistake. Mujhe tumhe ye sab India jaane se pehle bata dena chahiye tha, to shayad aaj..." she said and stopped.

"Anjali...." I closed my eyes.

"I am sorry Manik, I didn't mean it. balki I think whatever happened, it's because she is in your destiny. I am not." She said.

"Anjali... listen to me" I said putting my hands on her shoulders.

"you deserve better. You are a very beautiful soul. I am so sorry that I was not there for you when you needed a friend's shoulder. But Anjali I have given myself to someone and that someone is sitting there" I said and pointed at Nandini.

"even if you have confessed it two years ago, I would have not accepted it. Anjali, what I have with Nandini, I have never felt like that ever before with any girl. I love her. I love her so much. And Anjali... there is always someone in everyone's life. I have found mine, you have yet to find." I explained calmly.

She sobbed a bit.

"Anjali..." I hugged her again.

"you will find someone who will love you more than yourself girl. just wait for some time. God is not so cruel." I said and she hugged me back and sobbed.

"I am so sorry that I felt that way for you, I am so sorry Manik" she sobbed harder.

"Shhh.... It's okay... shhh..." I tried to calm her down.

It worked and she broke the hug and wiped her tears "you are very bad. Tumhari wajah se mera sara make up kharab ho gaya" she said still wiping her tears.

I shook my head and smiled "kiddo... you know how important you are to me right?" I asked her. she nodded smilingly.

"well... filhal, someone else should be important to you." She said pressing her lips.

I looked at her confusingly and then she gestured me to look back. I turned immediately and saw Nandini fighting with the bar tender. God...!!!

"I think I'll go there" I said and ran to Nandini.

I stood beside her. "I said... muj...he.. chaahiyeeee..." she slurred.

"Nandini, what happened?" I asked her making her sit on the bar stool. She blinked her eyes at me and then folds her hands near her chest and made a pout and turned other side.

"isseee.. kehdo.... i.... don't.... wanna talkkkkk" she said in a furious yet in clear voice.

"what..? kya pilaya isse?" I asked bartender angrily.

"sir... she drank the whole plate of tequila shots. And moreover she wants more" he said.

"what...?" I yelled. I looked at my side and saw her still sulking and glaring at me.

Drunk Nandini Murthy is definitely trouble for me.

"Nandini.... come on let's go home" I said dragging her, but how she even listen to me? She jerked my hand and looked away, she took the another glass of whisky from the counter and gulped it down in mere seconds. My eyes were wide enough.

I took the glass from her hand and put it aside with a thud. She cringed her nose and huffed.

"You....." she pointed a finger at me and then looked away "I hateeee... you..... suna tumne you Monsterrrr....." she said. I shook my head.

"Okay... but come let's go home, see you can't even stand properly" I suggested her.

She nodded her head in irritation and slurred "no... whyyyy do you caareee..? you go to that.... What's her name are??" she scratched her head in order to remember.

"who?" I asked.

"haa.... Anjaliiiii..... Panjali....." she shouted her name loud and laughed out loud. I looked around to see Anjali giving me glares. I looked at her apologetically.

I turned towards Nandini "No, I want to be with you. Come let's go. This party is boring"

"no... you goo.... I am not coming with you.... Shooo.... Goo... go away... shuu... shu...." She literally shooed me away from her.

I held her tight "Nandini, listen to me carefully. We are going home. Don't be stubborn okay" I said and she blinked her eyes in annoyance.

She jerked my hands off her and shouted "noo... meansh... no...." she turned around.

"fine... then don't come to me. I am going to Anjali.... Huhh..." I said out of anger and walked away from her. She will come around I know.

I went and stood in front of Anjali. She asked me through eyes that what happened.

"Man.... why do even people drink if they can't handle?" I said out of frustration. We heard some music being played in the background. But my full concentration was on my anger and frustration about how I am going to handle drunk Nandini? like when she is sane, I can't handle her, how am I supposed to handle her in her most insane situation.

"she is trouble man..." I again said.

"well, let me add some more trouble to you. Look behind" she giggled. I turned back and saw her shaking her hips in a very very sexy manner. I palmed my face in embarrassment. Manik a long night to go.

Aa aa aa aa

Aa aa aa aa

I turned around and heard her singing the line. I closed my eyes and shook my head in disbelief. She is insane God... I looked at Anjali who was enjoying my situation of course.

Janeman janeman palat teri nazar

Yaha hai dil tera dekhta hai kidhar

Janeman janeman palat teri nazar

Yaha hai dil tera dekhta hai kidhar

I turned towards her and glared at her. she came to me and danced around me, then she turned towards Anjali and gave her a very hard glare and then she looked at me and caressed her own body making me open my eyes wide in shock.

Mila le dil se dil pyar se pyar kar

Udhar to raat hai savera hai idhar

Soon the others who were present there joined her and they all danced in front of me and Anjali. I shook my head and turned around and took the glass from the waiter and gulped it down. I looked at Anjali and she supressed her laugh on my situation. These girls are crazy....

Janeman janeman palat teri nazar

Yaha hai dil tera dekhta hai kidhar

Janeman janeman ja ne man

I and Anjali walked around the corner, just to ignore the embarrassment. I saw from far that Chandu uncle gave her another glass and winked at her. he gestured her to drink more. Oh God...!!! Why me? I looked up to give him some abuses. I looked at Nandini and she gulped the whole glass in a matter of seconds. I shook my head. Shit...!!! She is going insane. I glared at Chandu uncle. He winked at me. I glared him more.

"well she is quite jealous of me. I didn't know that" Anjali said proudly.

"don't just don't... please... I am right now really pissed off and see Chandu uncle is also making her drink more. Is he insane?" I said furiously.

"well looking at her right now..." we both looked at her and she was dancing crazily on the music with random people.

"I can see someone is going to be get laid, you know you upon her?" she winked at me.

"Shut Up..." I said in irritation.

I heard her singing the lines, which did nothing but shocked me to the core. In her drunken state, she is marking herself of mine. But when it comes to accept in sane condition, she pushes me away.

Tere liye hi bani hu

Janeman janeman

Mai sab me shamil nahi

She came near me and stumbled few times, and stood by taking support of my coat. She sang the lyrics and slowly pushed me away from her some times. I tried to stop her, but how can she stop.

Tere liye hi bani hu

Janeman janeman

Mai sab me shamil nahi

She patted my chest few times, I looked down to see her hand. She put her fingers on my chin and made me look at her.

Dil se zara pooch apne kya me tera dil nahi

She walked away slaying and danced fumbly. Then she turned towards me and winked at me. I smiled and pressed my lips together to control my laugh.

Naya hai silsila naya hai ye safar

Nayi hai manzile magar hai ek dagar

She again danced around me, pushing Anjali away from me. I saw Anjali shooking her head laughingly. I stood there shrugging my shoulders. Chandu Uncle came and danced with her for sometimes.

I looked at Anjali and she gestured me to take her away. I laughed and murmured a sorry to her. of course my Nandini ruined her oh so gorgeous party in to a drunk dance party.

Janeman janeman

Janeman janeman palat teri nazar

Yaha hai dil tera dekhta hai kidhar

Mila le dil se dil pyar se pyar kar

Udhar to raat hai savera hai idhar

I saw her still dancing tapping her foot on the floor. I went to her. she looked at me dreamily and expected me to dance with her, but I did otherwise. I pull her to me and took her on my shoulders and turned towards Chandu uncle.

He gave me a wink and laughed. I shook my head and walked out with Nandini still singing on my shoulders. Unbelievable.

Janeman janeman ja ne man

Janeman janeman janeman janeman janeman janeman

I walked out taking her on my shoulders while she flapped her hands and legs in air singing crazily "Janeman.... Janeman...."

"Manik... shtop....... Oye..... shtop na...." she struggled in my hold. It was difficult to handle her, so I put her down on her feet.

She struggled to stand still, but I held her immediately and she stood smiling dreamily.

She left my hold and sang again "Janeman....." actually yelled out loud..

"shh......" I said putting my fingers on my lips. She blinked her eyes few times and she copied me "Shhh....." putting her fingers on her lips. I pursed my lips so that I can hide the smile. She was looking so cute. I love it when she obeys me.

I was admiring her, while she kicked my leg harshly "Owww..." I looked at her in disbelief.

She was gesturing me towards her lips and finger.

"What??" I asked her holding my leg. Crazy woman.

She again looked at me angrily and then gestured my again. I understood what she means.

"speak" I said placing my hands on my waist.

"wo.... I was shaying that.... That....." she slurred and leaned on the car.

"what...?" I asked.

"uhmmm...." She gave me a disappointed look.

"wooo... me bhul gayi..." she said innocently.

I smiled and said "okay, never mind. Come one we will go home and then I will drop you to your room. you will hit the bed instantly and then sleep. Okay?" I explained her my perfect plan.

She raised an eye brow at me and then gave me a smirk. I narrowed my gaze at her and raised my eye brow too.

She dreamily looked at me and came near me, she pulled me with a jerk towards her. It was so sudden that I couldn't even know what to do.

"what... what are you doing...?" I stammered.

She let her fingers roam on my face lightly and said "how about.... We hitttt.. the bed... together...? Hmmm?" she said huskily. Her hands sliding under my coat.

I widened my eyes hearing her words. She has really gone insane... like really...

I took her hands in mine and stepped back, so that I could maintain some distance from him.

"Nandini.... you are drunk" I said to her or rather to myself. Uffff... this girl will be my death one day for sure.

She blinked her eyes for sometimes again and then fumbled again. I held her waist from side so that she can take some support.

"Manik.... I am tiredddd..." she said yawning...

"let's go home. Get in to the car fast" I said and opened the door for her. she looked at me with a frown and then closed the door.

"Nandini what...." I said. But she cut me off.

"Home? Whoshhhh home?" she asked me.

"Cabir's home. Your Jiju..." I told her, so that she could at least remember him.

"no...." she shook her head rapidly and slurred again "it's... it's very boring... noo... I don't want to go thereee..."

"to kaha jayenge?" I asked.

She smirked and said "my houshhh...." She grinned madly.

I shook my head and said "no... no... we are not going there. We are going Cabir's house. Come on in... fast..."

"Manik... Pleashh...Pleashhh...." She begged me in a toddler voice.

I sighed "see... Nandini we don't have keys na... so we have to go Cabir's house. Haina?"

She clicked her fingers happily and said "I haveeee the keysshhh..."

Ho gaya Kand... ab to uske hi ghar jana padega... it's a very bad idea to go at her home. She and me alone under one roof and that too with drunk Nandini... Manik.... Teri izzat khatre me hai.

"kaha hai keys?" I asked.

She checked her purse, but couldn't find it. she gave me a pouted look and looked down.

"It's okay, hum kal jayenge tumhare ghar okay?" I said.

"haawwwww....." she shouted instantly.

"What?" I asked.

"I remember...." She said. "What you remember?" I asked her again.

"I have the extra keys...." She said shrugging the shoulders.

"And where are they?" I asked her again.

She put a finger on her cheek and tapped it on her cheek in order to think. Einstein. 

"yeshhh... I remember..." she clapped her fingers. She gestured me to come near her. I shook my head.

"Are come naa...." She slurred.

I went near her and bent down so that she can reach up to my ears.

"Itshh... under the vase outshide my houshh..." she whispered in to my ears. I looked at her and nodded. She gave me a thumbs up and smiled.

I shook my head and made her sit inside the car and drove away.

It was almost night time and here beside me miss Murthy was troubling me to death. Once I made her sit inside the car, she nagged like a child, when I started the car and was driving calmly, she waved her hands in front of me to distract me. I calmly made her understand. She sat for a while quietly and then she yelled "Janeman... Janeman" waving her hands outside of the window. Trust me, I have had difficult time handling her in the car. Phew, but after 20 minutes of eventful drive we reached her apartment.

Right now we were standing outside of her flat and she was just waving her body right to left and looking at me dreamily.

I raised my brows and asked "What?"

She shook her head and continued doing what she was doing. I shook my head and took a deep breath. I looked for vases around her flat. That was not difficult to find the keys, because there were only two vases. I took the vase and looked under it, there was no key. So I proceed to another and there I found her flat keys.

"One task complete Manik" I whispered to myself. I opened the door of her apartment and it was all dark. I dragged her with me inside and locked the door behind, so that she couldn't run away.

I switched on all the lights.

"Nandini. now chalo. Off to sleep." I ordered her and went to her room. she followed me like a puppy.

"Come on, go to your bed" I said as I switched on the light.

She blinked her eyes at me and then looked at herself top to bottom "But how will I shleep in thiss....?" She asked still blinking her eyes.

"hang on" I went to her wardrobe and started searching for her nightwear. I saw her coming towards me and standing just beside me leaning over the other door of wardrobe.

I took out a t-shirt and track from her wardrobe and handed her "hmm.. wear this" I said and was about to close the door but she again nagged "naii... ye naii.... Manik see na... the pink one.... I want the pink one..."

"Nandini...." I looked at her and she was making all the cute pouts, which I couldn't refuse.

I sighed and looked for some pink in her wardrobe. I saw a strap coming out from her clothes. It was pink, so I pulled it out and saw it.

I gulped and was still holding the strap of her pink coloured bra with some white lace work. She looked at me and I looked at her.

She blinked her eyes and then took that from my hand to her and checked it. I was still in a shock. Okay... This is weird.

"Manik.... Ye nai..... I want t-shirt no?" she again nagged and throw that away.

I closed my eyes to concentrate on the pink t-shirt of her, not that pink lingerie... Manik... control...

I opened my eyes and then looked in the wardrobe. I again checked her wardrobe hoping that I again don't do blunder and took out some private things. Well as such there is no private in between me and Nandini... but I liked that one, it was so hot. Manik think how it will look on Nandini. Just in THAT... Ahhhh...

I shook my head to come out of that zone. God Manik what you are thinking.

Finally, I saw some pink t-shirt and pulled it out and gave it to her.

"hmmm... wear" I said closing the wardrobe.

"aur tum...?" she asked innocently looking at me.

I looked down at me, I was in formals, I can't sleep like that. "I'll take some clothes of Aryaman. You change here, meanwhile I go and change. Hmm?" I said and was about to walk away, when she pulled me with a force towards her and now she was in between me and the wardrobe.

She was looking at me and I was looking at her. I looked here and there to avoid her eyes. I might cross the line, which I really don't want to.

"What... what are you doing Nandini" I asked lowly.

She made me look at her and then whispered "you are very bad... vely vely bad.." she made a pout.

I smiled and tucked some hairs behind her eras "Kyun ab maine kya kiya?" I asked.

She sighed and traced the buttons of my shirt and said "you didn't... onche.... Tried to kish me..." she made a pout and I widened my eyes.

"Nandini... baby you need to sleep and I..." I was saying but she cut me off, by putting her fingers over my lips.

"Shh....." I instantly got hush. This can't be happening, she is not in her senses and I...? I am losing it. she being so close. I am afraid that I might do something.

"Don't talk shooo much.... Jusht Kishhh meee..." she leaned over me to kiss me, but I needed to stop. It took every ounce in me to stop her, because I wanted it. but I didn't want it like that.

I pushed her a bit on the wardrobe and then said "Nandini... get a grip of yourself. Change." I said and moved back.

She frowned on me being away from her. I started walking out, when she held my hand again.

"Kaha jaa rahe ho?" she asked very innocently. I turned and looked at her.

I smiled and replied "I am just going to change. Okay? You change here meanwhile I to get freshen up and then come. Hmm?"

She left my hand and then sat on the bed and nodded. I smiled and walked out and closed the door behind.

I sighed and went to Aryaman's room to fetch some clothes. I saw his and Nandini's photo beside his bed. I went there and flipped it on the table, so that I couldn't see them.

I took out a nightwear and wore it instantly and then again rushed to her room.

I stood in front of her room door and took deep breaths.

"Manik... control, okay. She isn't in her sane condition, it's just the alcohol who's speaking. Control" I said to myself.

I knocked on the door twice, but no reply.

"Nandini...? are you done?" I asked knocking the door.

"Haaannn...." She yelled from inside.

I opened the door and found her still sitting on the bed yawning.

She was still in her party clothes, like seriously? Now what??

"Nandini what is this? Didn't I tell you to change? Haan?" I asked her furiously. She instantly made a bad face.

"Manik.. you are vely bad, vely bad... goo... you alwaysh shcold me... I hate you..." she stood up and hit my chest few times.

I held her hands and looked at her, she was still making faces and yawning too.

"okay. Tell me kyun nahi change kiya abhi tak?" I asked her. she looked at me and smiled. She freed her hands from me and then turned. Now her back was in front of me. She took all her hairs on her one shoulder making me go weak in my knees.

"Thishh.... Thishhh chain is not opening.... Do it for me pleashhh" she yawned.

I was gawking at her smooth back, which was shining in the moonlight. Don't do this Nandini, it's very difficult for me to control.

"Do it na...." she yelled. I went up to her and placed my shivering fingers over her zip and closed my eyes to control the damn hormones.

I opened her zip still closing y eyes. Right now the least thing I want to do is see her naked back.

"ho gaya" I said and turned my face away. I saw her turning to me smilingly.

She extended her hand towards me and gave me her night suit. I gave her confused look.

"ab change bhi kar do na...." she said smilingly.

I palmed my face and looked up to curse the god... why? like why? aapko bahot maja aata hai na, mujhe aesi compromising situation me dekhke.

"Nandini.. I cant do this.. you have to change on your own. Go to washroom and change" I said handling her the night suit, but she came to me and hugged me. I looked down and saw what I was avoiding. Her Silky, White, Naked back.

I gulped and tried to push her away, but couldn't.

"no... pleshh.... I am very shleepy... do it na... pleashh... nai to aishi hi so jaungi" she yawned against my chest. I could feel her exhaustion. I sighed and then thought what to do.

She can't sleep in her party dress. What to do now?

I looked around and then switched off the light. I broke the hug and said "Okay... hang on just stand still okay" I said and she nodded.

Finally, I closed my eyes and then I put my shivering hands on her bare shoulders. I caressed her shoulders and then moved down still closing my eyes. I felt some fabric in my hands, so I just pulled it down and took the t-shirt of her nightwear and made her wear that with closed eyes of course. Then I made her wear her tracks. Lastly, I guess I was done and then I opened my eyes to see her smiling at me. Thank God she didn't nagged while I was changing her clothes. Pata nahi kya ho jata tab.

"Chalo, ab off to bed. Come on" I said and she followed my words and went to her bed. She lay down on the bed and I adjusted the duvet over her. she was already exhausted, so she closed her eyes instantly. I sighed and sat beside her. I watched her face serene and beautiful. I want to take care of you like this Nandini forever. And I promise I will do that my whole life, whether you like it or not.

I leaned and kissed her forehead.

I stood up to sleep on the couch, but she held my hand. I stop at my place.

"Mat jaao" she whispered. I turned and saw her eyes open.

I went to her and sat beside her. she looked at me with tears in her eyes.

"Heyy... why are you crying haan...?" I asked. She did nothing but pulled me to her, and now we both were laying on one bed. She hugged me sideways instantly not letting me even move.

I rest my case over there. Even I wanted some peace so I think this is the best way to get some peace.

After some minutes of silence, I heard her whispering "You won't leave me na this time?"

I looked down at her and smiled, her eyes were closed and her face was pressed against my chest. I hugged her tightly and whispered "No... never...." I placed my lips over her hair and kissed them numerous times.

"I love you Nandini" I confessed. She shifted a little in my arms.

I heard her in a fading tone "I.... Love...." She couldn't complete her words and passed out in my arms.

I smiled and closed my eyes just to remember the things which happened tonight. Tomorrow is going to be a new day with full hopes now.

The day is not far Nandini, when you will come to e and will never let me go. I Promise....
