LOST LOVE

IS THIS LOVE?

Their journey ended on a good note with love blooming in someone’s heart. This trip made Navya and Cabir closer to each other and manik strong enough to mark his love as his. And Nandini while she was still confused about the incidents that happened last night.

Everyone reached Mumbai. Arya left everyone safe and sound at their homes. Now it was time to bid good bye to manik after a tiring trip. 

Manik: so bye guys and Nandini now please don’t cry

Nandink shook her head in positive. Manik turned back to go but his heart was not ready to leave her even for a second. But life was cruel for him now. He has to leave Nandini to meet her again. But no his destiny was not so cruel as manik moved ahead to go Nandini called him

Nadini: manik 

Manik: yes 

Nandini came out of the car and stood infront of manik

Nandini: Manik i want that back. 

Manik: excuse me. what do you want back? I don’t have anything of yours. 

Nandini: liar 

Manik: seriously Nandini

Nandini: Oh god you have my bracelet. Remember?

manik: oh. But that’s mine now.

Nandini: Listen Mr. Malhotra that’s mine. And i want that back.

Manik: You don’t have your name written on it and since i found it so it’s mine not yours. 

Nandini: but-

Manik: bye Nandini.

With this Manik got inside his mansion leaving an irritated Nandini behind 

Nandini: Such a thief. You saw Arya he stole my favourite bracelet. And i was feeling so bad for this thief.

Manik(himself): I am sorry Nandini but I can’t give this to you. I know it’s very close to your heart and you are very close to mine so I’ll keep it very close to my heart.

AT MURTHY’S HOUSE

Nandini and Arya came back and freshened up. Now both of them were sitting beside each other having some snacks

Arya: Nandini how’s Manik? 

Nandini: What kind of question is that? We just left him. 

Arya: i mean as a friend

Nandini: hmm. Let me think. He is nice

Nandini ignored his questions and started watching t.v but Aryaman was Aryaman he snatched the remote and switched the tv off 

Nandini: Arya what kind of childish behaviour is this!! Give that back to me. 

Arya: Nanz it’s not fair. I’ll get bored here sitting alone. Ok let’s play a game

Nandini: Arya we have already played alot of games there. So please mujhe give that back to me. 

Arya: This gave will solve all your confusion. 

Nandini: What confusion? 

Arya: please Nanz please . 

Nandini: ok fine only if you insist.

Arya: ok i’ll say a word and you tell me any word or name that comes to you mind instantly

Nandini: God this is not Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Ok start 

Arya: Stupid

Nandini: Navya 

Arya: Best Friend 

Nandini: You 

Arya: Smile 

Nandini: Manik 

Arya: Cabir 

Nandini : Prankster

Arya: Family 

Nandini : Life

Arya: Manik 

Nandini: Love

Nandini was shocked after realising what she had just said and her confusion grew more and more when she saw Arya looking at her smiling

Nandini: it’s just- . I’ll just get something for us to eat

Nandini went to the kitchen and Arya came there as well

Arya: How long will you run Nandini 

Nandini: I am not running Arya. It’s just i am a bit hungry. Simple. 

Arya: not this Nandini. It’s about your feelings. How long will you run from them.

Nandini: What feelings Arya? what are you even saying? I....I doono... What ...are you even talking ...about

Nandini came out of the kitchen and before she could escape Arya held her wrist 

Arya: You are confused about your feeling towards well Manik. I know you’ve fallen for him 

Nandini: It’s nothing like that. Stop watching so many romantic movies. 

Arya: Nandini i know you since childhood. You tell me you don’t feel something when you look at him, a feeling like you have a new hope to live. And yesterday you were tensed about both of us but more for manik. The way you hugged him showed your emmotions. Think about it Nandini

Arya left Nandini’s wrist and she ran to her room unable to meet his gaze. She came to her room and locked it from inside her heart was beating at its full speed after listening to Arya’s words.

She kept thinking about it

Her first meet with Manik she thought him to be a jerk who has no respect for others.

She remembered the day when manik sang for her. She could somehow see the emotions and feelings in his eyes but because of his behaviour she got agitated and slapped him thinking it all as an act.

She remembered when she was drunk and the next day how manik was teasing her and how they both fell on each other on his bed and her lips curved into a smile thinking about these incidents.

She remembered how he cared for her and gave food to her to eat.

When his hand got bruised how much she was tensed and was on the verge of crying

When she hugged him first time in the forest she felt a shiver flowing down her spine and she felt completed

At last she just thought how tensed and worried she got when his hand was bruised and when he was nowhere to be seen in the jungle . How complete and joyful she feels when he is around her

Nandini: yes. yes. i am in love. I am in love with MANIK MALHOTRA. I have never thought that i will fall for THE MONSTER but what Nandini ofcourse you love him .. His smile. His eye. yes I love him . I love you Manik Malhotra . 

Let me just call Manik and tell him about my feelings . wait wait wait .. No tomorrow at college I’ll give him a surprise. But does he also feel the same for me ?? Should I tell him?? But until and unless I’ll tell him how will I get to know about his feelings so yes tomorrow . I’ll tell Manik about my feelings and rest is upon him whether he feels the same or not !! 

Suddenly she received a message. 

She checks it and yes it was from him.

Manik: Nandini I’ll keep your bracelet safe . Trust me .

Nandini( with a smile): I trust you.

Manik: good night . Sweet dreams 

Nandu: good night Manik .

Nandini ( to herself) : good night nandini. Sleep tomorrow is a big day .
