Cabir:okkk f9 continue continue..

Manik:haa toh guyz i was saying k nandini's accident was not really an accident...*while everybody cringes their eyebrows in confusion*...what i mean is k nandini ka accident was pre-planned...

Mukti:whattt...manik accident pre-planned matlab... I mean how can j b soo sure that it was pre-planned....

Manik:bcoz nandini ne uss ladki ka face dekha hai jisne yeh accident plan kiya tha... though there was 1 girl nd 2 men bt nandini can only see the face of the girl...

All:whatt..

Dhruv:kon hai woh?? I mean whose that grl nandini saw?

Manik:SOHA...

alia:whatt!!!lekin soha is toh dead naa... I mean u were accused for her death only naa...

Manik:exactly bt nandini is sure that this accident was planned...

Cabir:bt manik it might b possible k nandini ko koi galat femi hui hoo... I mean...

Manik:nahi cabir nandini is r8... I mean jab nandini ko hospital laya gaya tha that night also some1 tried to give her poison through blood drip...

Mukti:ohh god!!! Lekin phir woh aur do log kon hai??

Manik:i dont know... Bdw alia where is harshad??

Alia:i dont know where is he... I mean he hadnt came home after the day we visited Nandini at ur place...

Manik:i don't know btt i have a gut feelings that harshad is also involved in this accident nd may b nyonika also...

Cabir:ho sakta hai.. I mean we can not trust them anyhow...

Dhruv:waise buddy, howz nandini??

Manik:aah woh... She is f9... I mean recovering... As she is having soo much factures at ribcage,she will take tym bt still she is able to walk by her own...may b 2-3 days more nd she will b able to walk properly....

Mukti:grt...i hope she will b f9... Waise woh kya tere ghar hi rehne wali hai??

Manik :haan.. I mean i dont wanna leave her alone..what iff again they try to harm her...

Cabir :sahi hai...tu tension na le we will find them soon...

Manik:*wid red eyes*woh toh we will for sure... Trust me agar meri nandini k iss halat k piche nyonika ya harshad mein se koi hoga then i m gonna rotten them into hell...

Dhruv:*changing topic*acha chal abhi toh jamming karte hai...

To which all nodded nd they started jamming...

----------------------------------------------

After jamming,fab4 at 7 pm on evening left for their house while manik left for nandini's place to pick her...

@nandini's house:

Nandini nd rishab were talking sitting on sofa when the bell ring nd chachi open the door to see manik..

Chachi:arey manik beta aao na andar..

Manik:*while coming in*hello chachi..

Chachi closed the door while manik came in hall to see sibblings were laughing... Seeing nandini laughingly whole-heartedly, a smile came on manik's lips...

Chachi:arey tu khada kyu hai bethna...

Thats when nandini noticed manik nd smiled fully looking at him which he also returned gladly..

Chachi:acha nandu kal baju walle aunty paysam de gaye the toh mein yeh bowl unko wapas karke aati hoon....bss 5 min mein aai... Tum log aaram se baatein karo..

Nandini nodded and chachi left while Manik came and sat beside nandini nd exchanged pleasantries wid rishab... After few minutes rishab went to kitchen to fetch a glass of water for manik..

Manik:how r u... Feeling ok??aur tumne medicines li?

Nandini:manikk...saans to le lo nd i m f9 nd haa meine davai bhi le li hai...

Manik:gud,then shall we leave??

Nandini:manik plzzz na i wanna stay here... Pakka i will take care....

Manik:nandini last tym also tumne zid ki thi nd we landed here ... Now this tym i m not listening u,u r coming wid me... Aur mein hamesha ka thodi bol raha hoon,jab u will b f9 toh waise bhi u have to come back here sooo now u r coming wid me...i don't wanna leave u alone,mein uss madhubala k waha chod deta tumhe bt then she is pregnant toh definetly woh tumhara dhyan nahi rakh sakti nd wid alia nd mukti u wont b comfortable issi liye i m taking u wid me...

Nandini jst huffed on manik's stubborness...

Rishab came nd gave glass of water to manik which he drank and after that trio continued wid their talks...

After few minutes chachi came...

Manik:chachi i think ab hume nikalna chahiye..

Chachi:arey lekin nandu ko aaye thoda hi tym hua hai.... Aise kaise aur phir dinner bhi to baki hai..ek kaam karo dinner karke chale jaana...

Manik jst look at nandini on name of dinner nd nandini jst laughed in her mind seeing manik's horrified face...

Manik:nahi chachi actually dad bhi dinner ke liye wait kar rahe hai nd nandini ko bhi medicines leni hai nd we cant delay it u know... nxt tym pakka we will have dinner...

Chachi:acha thik hai lekin mein abhi bhi keh rahi hoon k tum nandu ki bekar mein hi fikar kar rahe ho... Hum sab hai yaha usse yahi rehne do..

Manik:i know chachi bt agar midnight nandini ko doctor ki jarurat hui to it would b gud if i will b there nd waise bhi navya bhi waha par mere saath aati hai nandu ko studies mein help karne k liye...

Listening manik's last statement,nandini jst look at manik thinking-"kitne aasani se juth bolta hai yeh ladka aaiyappa" ...

After this small bickering of manik-chachi finally manan bid byee to chachi nd rishab...

Nandini jst blushed at his last statement nd hit him on his biceps playfully...

Manik:acha ok mere baare mein toh jaan liya now ur turn... Tum batao...

Nandini:mein...umm soo i was born and lived in USA till i turned 8...my appa was astrophysicist nd amma was a cardiologist...but after amma-appa passed,aams bought me nd rishu here in manglore nd we stayed wid aams till i turned 17 nd then i came mumbai wid chacha-chachi nd rishu after getting scholarship from space...

Manik:how did ur amma-appa passed??

Nandini:i told u naa appa was astrophysicist soo once there was a meteor shower nd appa took us to see it bt then a huge star came nd crashed wid our car...me nd rishu were saved bt lost our parents...infact rishu lost his voice due to that meteor attack only...

Manik:hmm...

Nandini:u know manik i was never lyk this serious in my childhood... I mean i was soo crazy....i used to do all crazy stuffs lyk going for weekends-picnic,crazily talking wid amma-appa nd doing all-in-all crazy things... Bt phir i had to take responsibility of rishu...aams was there to take care of us bt appa always taught me to not b burden on some1 nd never let ur head down before some1 no matter whosever it is..issi liye i took scholarship in space soo that i can b capable to earn for rishu's treatment...uss waqt i didnt get bt now i think appa was r8,i got self-confidence nd i can stand for myself...

Manik:yup that toh i know u can take perfect stand for urself-u know u punched me for bullying u...

Nandini:hmm tohh never try to mess wid me again or u will b held responsible for my punches...

Manik:woahh i m scared...*taking her palm between his*i know u want to b independent bt i want to take care of u nd pamper u lyk ur appa... I want u to throw tantrums on me lyk u would have done wid ur appa... I want to see that child in u who was burdened wid responsibility at that small age....i want to pamper that child in u.. .. I want to return u ur childhood nandini...

Till now nandini was in tears... She never thought that 1 day she will b listening this from the 1 whom she hated most in starting days of college...

Nandini:btt manik u dont need to...

Manik:*cutting her in between*i know that i dont need to bt i really want to nandini... I wanna experience a child in u... I wanna know how u were in ur childhood.. Plzzz...

Nandini nodded smilingly wid tears of happiness in her eyes...

Manik:*changing topic*child banne ko bola that doesnt mean u will literally keep crying lyk a baby...

Nandini:*whinned *manikk...

Manik:achaa tell me abt ur family nd friends...

Nandini:okaayy soo i m having aams, chacha-chachi nd rishu as closed once nd now u r also included... Chacha-chachi nd rishu se tum mil hi chuke hoo nd aams-she is strict btt she is the best any1 could have... Trust me u should meet her 1nce..

Manik:toh abhi bhi u r in contact wid him??

Nandini:haan i mean whenever i go to manglore i use to hangout wid him infact u wont beleive i always use to stay at his place nd use to eat nd play nd roam together...

Nandini was jst blabbering abt her CRUSH here manik was getting more nd more possessive nd angry on mention of his name...
