LOST LOVE

FOREST HUNT

The next morning arised with new sunshine, feelings and surprises. Everyone woke up from their deep sleep unaware of the things the day have stored for them.

AT DINING TABLE

Nandini came down and saw everyone settled for the breakfast. She too made herself comfortable after chipping a good morning to everyone. The breakfast was going on silently when nandini spoke

Nandini: Arya. I wanted to ask you something

Arya knew what was coming so he was fumbling on his words 

Arya: ya nanz. Say (in mind) please not about the room.

Nandini: Arya what i was thinking that today we won’t practise rather enjoy. 

Arya: hmmm fine but we do have our fest in 2 days so.

Nandini: so i have an idea we’ll play the game which we both played in our childhood 

Manik: which game? Nandini we are not kids anymore.

Nandini: i know manik and i promise you it will be fun 

Arya: ya she is right manik. So guys we’ll play that game after breakfast

AFTER BREAKFAST

Arya: so guys the game is that we’ll pick out one-one chit from the bowl and the name we get are our partners Then we all will take the vocky talkies with us and will go with our partners to the forest for the hunt and we need to get a flower which is- 

Nandini: -of pink colour . My fav and its only found in this forest. So we’ll come back with it and the team who comes first wins the game. 

Everyone: Awesome 

Arya: so let’s pic up the chits

Cabir: Navya 

Alya: Dhruv

Now only 2 chits were left one with Mukti’s name on it and the other with manik’s name 

Nandini: my partner is Mukti 

Arya: so me and Manik

Manik forced a smile beacuse he wanted to be with Nandini but unfortunately bad luck. On the other hand his heart was doing a happy dance that Arya was away from nandini . So he had no objection

The game started and everyone went to the jungle. The jungle was a deep one

Navya: What if we get lost?

Cabir: Navya nothing will happen. 

Navya: What if a wild animal ate us? 

Cabir: If you keep on speaking like this so if an animal is not even coming here will also search for you.

On the other side

Alya: oh god. My dress will get messed up and my legs are paining too. 

Dhruv: Who told you to wear heels. 

Alya: oh hello i don’t have any other footwear than heels

Seeing alya’s cute pout face dhruv lifted her up in his arms

Dhruv: now fine

Mukti and Nandini were just walking ahead 

Mukti: Gosh Nandini were is this flower? 

Nandini: Mukti i know this jungle very well just a little more.

AFTER ALMOST 4 HRS

Everyone came back.

Alya: i am too tired but really nandini this flower is beautiful

Nandini: yess 

Dhruv: oh hello i have to be tired. I had to lift you up 

Mukti: but whatever we say it was fun

Cabir: ya fun watching Navya’s face. Oh god Navya you were too scared 

Navya: haww. What if something would have happened to us? 

Nandini: guys where is Manik and Arya? 

Alya: They must me coming. 

Nandini: but they should have reached first. Arya knew each and every way of this forest

Navya: What if they are lost? 

Nandini: no this can’t happen

Cabir: girls. Girls relax they must have stuck somewhere and Navya please don’t scare others with your what if.

AFTR 2 HRS

Nandini: guys it’s been 2 hours. i am going to search for them. Arya must be ok but manik he is new to this place.

Dhruv: Nandini don’t freak out. We’ll wait for some more time. 

Nandini stood up from her place and went to the small temple to pray to her Aiyappa 

Nandini: Aiyaap i know you never let me down. So please listem to me today also. I promise i won’t trouble you again. Please keep Arya and Manik safe wherever they are. If anything happens to them i won’t be able to face myself. Its just because of me i got them to play this game. And if they won’t come back i swear i will do something to myself and it will be just beacuse of you. Please keep them safe. ESPECIALLY MANIK

Another 2 hours went but there were no signs of either Manik or Arya . Now even the guys were worried because their talkies were not reachable 

Nandini: guys i can’t wait for more time. Please let me go

Just then a voice from behind came

Voice: Nandini

Nandini turned and watched Manik and Arya standing at the door. Both of them were dirty with mud all over there clothes. Nandini quickily ran and hugged manik.

Manik was shocked because he thought that Nandini would first come to Arya but no he was wrong Nandini without breaking the hug started chanting sorry 

Manik broke the hug and cupped her face to only watch her crying 

Manik: Nandini why are you sorry. Look we both are fine

Just then reality stuck nandini she immediately hugged Aryaman

Nandini: Aryaman where were you both? You know i was so worried for the both of you. 

Cabir: ya guys where were you both?

Arya: actually-

Manik: We were lost and in finding the way we both fell into a pit. 

Mukti: guys whatever happened, happened.Let’s forget all of this. Arya and Manik you both get fresh and come down for dinner. Everyone’s hungry.

AT DINNER

All were silent and none spoke a word. After dinner evryone were retiring back to their room when nandini hugged Manik and stared crying silently

Manik: Nandini look i am fine. You must be tired go to your room and sleep

But nandini was not ready to leave him, not even for once

Arya: Nandini? 

Manik: guys you go and have rest i’ll take her to her room

Manik lifted Nandini in his arms but still she never left his tee..

IN NANDINI’S ROOM

Manik : Nandini now we are in your room lets sleep 

Manik put nandini on bed and just turned to go but she held his hand

Nandini: Manik you know i was so sacred for the both f you. I thought you left me. You know i can’t even think of living without you. I am sorry

Manik: shhh. Nandini it’s fine. It’s no one’s fault. Now sleep 

Nandini: Manik please don’t leave me

manik: no i won’t. Promise

Nandini slept holding manik’s hand. And manik well himself never realised when he slept in that position. But one thing was good that he was with nandini and close to her.
