Manik and Nandini sat beside each other near the lake while the kids sat at a farther corner hearing stories after their lunch break. The surroundings were rather calm only the uneven breath and raging heartbeats of these two souls could be heard. Manik had questions, questions he wanted Nandini to answer him but by what rights do he ask her, it had just been a few weeks that they have known each other and a day since they were engaged. It was as if she could hear him that Nandini eventually spoke up, "Ask me what you want to? You can!" she said. "Why so secretive?" he finally asked. "about what?" Nandini still hasn't faced him. "About everything happening here. Why hide it?" Manik said. " Manik damn where do i even start from-" Nandini gave a small laugh looking at the beautiful sky.
