Nandini was dragging Manik keeping aside the crowd. They were in the corridor where people are less, and they were are now away from their friends n people. Then Manik spoke as he quietly moving with Nandini from sometime.

"Nandini bolo toh where are you dragging me, and what you wanna talk about"?

Nandini stopped listening Manik and turned to face him. She was hell furious in anger and her eyes were spitting fire, all red due to anger. And she glare at Manik with her big doe eyes which increased more now as she wide it.

Manik see this and instantly put a finger on his lips with his free hand and show her that now he will not say a word. After this Nandini turned and again started moving.

Now they reached terrace, both of their favorite place as from here only they started their journey, this place make them closer bit by bit, if both of them was angry with each other they came to this place and other was surely know where the person was. This place has a special place in both of their hearts. No one can no longer angry with each other.

Both reached and now facing each other, for a good 5 minutes no one spoke and just looking and glaring one another.

After few minutes Manik spoke getting restless now...."Nandini what's the matter, speak up jabse aayi ho stare hi kr rhi ho"

"Kyun tumhe late ho rha h, Uss chipkali ke pass jana h..? Vo tumhara wait kr rhi hogi na..!! Nandini replied and Manik make a confused look.

"Chipkali???....kon Chipkali, Nandini kiski bat kr rhi ho tum.. Manik replied being hell confused as what Nandini speaking.

Nandini stares Manik for few seconds and folded her arms around her chest and spoke..."toh tumhe nhi pta main kis ki bat kr rhi hu" she said grittedly.

"Nhi, Manik said moving his head in a no.

Nandini furiously replied.... Soha ki your so called friend aur kiski...jabse aayi h tumse chipke ja rhi h, chipke hi ja rhi h. Always cling on to you... Chipkali kahin ki..  Nandini think of her while saying last line. And make a very bad face.

And Manik who were keenly listening Nandini burst into laughters after hearing Nandu and seeing her expression on every line she spoke. And Nandini shockingly staring at him.

"Hahahahah....So..ha....chip..kali... Nandini. .Oh....my....god... hahahahah!! Manik said between his laughters.

Manik kept laughing and Nandini stares him and think  is she cracks a joke or he gone mad! Then Nandini said "It's looks funny to you. I didn't cracked a joke, so why are you laughing like maniac, pagal ho gaye ho kya.

"Shut up Manik" Nandini fuming now. But he didn't stopped..

Manik kept on laughing after this too and this makes Nandini more furious now. And then in anger Nandini stomped her feet on Manik's left feet and started moving from their...

Aaaaaaooowwww... Manik let out a whine as Nandini hit his leg strongly. And stopped laughing and see Nandini going so he hurriedly goes and held his arm from behind, and pulled her with a jerk, Nandini hitted his chest by a strong n sudden pull. And Manik held her waist tightly.

Both shared an eye lock for a good 5 minutes, then Nandini started struggling in his arms, trying to get free from his strong grip. She kept on struggling but all in vain as her pettie figure and tiny hands was not that stronger comparatively to Manik's muscular tall body and strong arms. Obviously, he was way too stronger than her. But Nandini is also not less, she knows that she can't get out from his grip in fact can't even move him a bit but even after that she is trying n trying.

Manik watched Nandini and spoke...  'you seriously think that you can get rid of my arms strong grip' and chuckled.

"Manik, leave me. Nandini said angrily.

"Naah!! Said Manik.

"Manik, chhodo mujhe, tum...tum hass lo bas. Bahut maja aa rha h na tumhe. Nandini said being irritate.

"Gussa?? Ho... Manik asked calmly now by seeing Nandini's irritated expression.

But Nandini didn't replied and moved her head other side. And Manik held her chin and make her look in his eyes and said.

"Ok..toh my chhota packet is angry on me, but ye toh bta do maine kiya kya, tabhi toh mujhe pta chlega why u r so much angry.

Nandini remove his hand from her chin and replied. "Seriously, Manik tum mujhse ye puch rhe ho...tumhe nhi pta why I was angry on u??

Manik nodded in a big fat no and gave a cute expression to her as he very well know that she can't resist his cute cute faces. So he tried this to calm her down a bit.

As Manik think and it worked not fully but a little becoz he see Nandini expression changed a bit and then Nandini said.. arghhh, Manik don't make these faces, today it didn't worked. But ok, tumhe nhi pta tumhare deeds let me explain you...

"Ya. I'm listening!! said Manik curiously.

"After your opening act, when you are coming to me, Soha interrupt in between and after you saw her, you completely forgot me, Manik. You didn't even looked at me once, nor a glance even, you ignore me completely. You completely engrossed in talking to her. And vo Soha...chipkali clinging on u all the time. And abhi when she said that we didn't look like a couple, you didn't react a bit and moreover you let her to kiss you. How could you and how could she kiss you, friend h toh friend ki tarah rheh, why behaving like a gf. Always always sticking on u. Huhhhh " and you didn't stopped her.. that's why I m mad on u.

As soon as Nandini finished, Manik again laugh a bit but control himself seeing Nandini's glare.

"Nandini it's not like that, firstly I didn't ignored you, vo toh i was meeting her after a long time tabhi I became so happy seeing her. Actually we were friends from childhood but when I was in 9th standard, she shifted to Australia. And then slowly slowly we lost contacts but jab maine usse yha Dekha toh i was totally surprised. That's it. And rhi bat uski mujh pr sticky hone ki...toh aisa nhi h.. ki vo hamesha chipkati ho mujhse ..jo tumne uska nam hi chipkali rkh diya..(Manik laugh here n continued) and kiss ki bat rhi toh...she was my friend how can i stop her... And ismein burai bhi kya h....ek cheek kiss hi toh tha...lips pr nhi tha..what's wrong in that. (He said all this to make Nandini more jealous).

Manik said and Nandini pushed him forcely. This time she get succeeded and came out of his grip as Manik loosened his grip on her while talking.

After Nandini pushed him. Manik taken a back and looked at him all baffled. Manik looking at her and she said..

"Its ok for you Manik, haan.... Tumhe uska kiss Krna sahi lgta h.. she said being hell angry hearing Manik and asked him....and Manik nodded.

Seeing his reaction Nandini huffed like a angry bull and Manik give her a loop sided smile. And then speak..

"Yes, Nandini I don't mind, Soha kissed me she is my friend, just like you are..ismein problem kya h....jo tum mujhe itne gusse se dekh rhi ho.. "

"Ohh plz...don't compare me with that Chipkali..I m far better than her.. Nandini said.

"Oh..god Nandini, Mujhe sumjh nhi aa rha..Soha mein problem kya h....why u dislike her so much. You only met her today and even u both didn't talked properly also...so kaha se tumhe vo itni buri lg rhi h. Manik said seeing Nandini's reaction.

"I don't know, but I don't like her bas.... Nandini said and crossed her arms around her and looks down.

"But mujhe pta h... Manik said and smirk.

Nandini looked at him arching her eyebrows being confused and asked him...kya kya pta h tumhe...

" Yhi, Y u don't like her! Manik said still smirking.

"Acha..toh btau, Y I don't like her. Nandini said in a sarcastic way.

"Because you are jealous with her..."  said Manik.

Hearing this Nandini eyes popped out from the socket, jaw dropped and she instantly looked at Manik with open mouth. And Manik smirked hard seeing Nandini.

"Whattt, Jealous vo bhi main...Nhi..bilkul bhi nhi, Main kyun hone lagi kisi se bhi jealous!! She said abruptly and sheepishly looked at her side to hide from Manik gaze.

"Acha....Toh u were not jealous..toh vo kya tha..when Soha is standing close to me abhi vha niche..u forcefully pulled her & came in between me n her and like a angry wild cat u dragged me from there, showing that only u have a right on me.
Manik said making Nandini realized her earlier behaviour and smirked again.

Hearing n seeing Manik smirk she looked down embarrass and thought that her chori pakkadi gyi.. then she started thinking some excuse to get out from it.. soch Nandu soch. She is thinking. Just then she remembered out something and smiled widely and looked up at him and spoke..

" Ohh hello...I'm not jealous, vo toh I m just keeping my promise which I do to u...thats it Mr.Malhotra. She said confidently.

And Manik made a confused look and ask.. promise... what promise Nandini??

"Bhul gaye...u only said na before the performance that I wanna talk to you, Nandini, it's very important. Plz after the performance you just come with me, kahin mat jana etc etc...so dekho here I m keeping my promise...Nandini said imitating Manik lines.

And then reality stuck Manik, he recalled all the scenes after the opening performance to till now....Manik was thinking all this and Nandini continued..

"Kya hua...yad aaya kuch, ab bolo what u wanna talk? Nandini said seeing Manik lost.

But Manik was drowning in his own land, thinking how he talked to Nandini on all this, how even started conversation on this, didn't hear her.

Then Nandini comes and snap out Manik from his thoughts by putting hands on his shoulder. As she got worried like all of a sudden Manik expression was changed into fear one. So she try to calm him down by saying.... Manik what happened, kahan kho gye... Bolo kya baat h.

Manik hears her words and thought to tell her before it's too late. He took a long breathe and started...

"Nandini, vo..I was saying..That u didn't told me about Aryaman. Manik said giving a hint to Nandini, so that she herself started the topic of Aryaman and her marriage.

"Aryaman, what should I tell about him to u. I only introduced u na some hours back. Toh phr... Nandini being confused that what Manik wanna know.

"Nhi...vo nhi..mera matlab h I know u introduced but u didn't told me about him before today. Manik said lil bit annoyed on Nandini as she is not getting it.

"Acha....ha that's because, he didn't even in mind. Actually when I was 10 years old only, his parents and him got shifted to Delhi. That time we were so small, so he and I can't come to meet at our places and our parents were busy in their business. So we both apart. We both missed each other as we shared an unbreakable bond. but then, He got busy in his studies and I too. Kabhi Milne ka mauka hi nhi mila,but suddenly today he came to surprised me. Actually it's all mom dad plan. They didn't told me about Aryaman visit. Taki they will give me  surprise. And u know I really became happy to see him there, main usse terrace pr, means yhi toh mili thi..and I just jump on him and we talked and...  Nandini said smilingly. But our Manik baba fumes in anger, jealousy took over him and he cut her off..

"Ha ok..bas aur nhi Sunna maine Uss chipku ka nam, I already had enough." Manik said frustratingly.

" What??kya kha tumne Chipku.  Manik tumne Aryaman ko chipku kha..are u mad?how can u call him like that! Nandini said hearing Manik saying Chipku to Aryaman.

"Haan toh, chipku ko chipku nhi kahunga toh aur kya kahunga.. bolo, Dekha nhi tumne all time trying coming close to u, always stand closely to u, bloody chipku." Manik said hell irritatedly.

And it's time for Nandini to smirk. After hearing this Nandini smiled inwardly and smirked looking at Manik. And Manik make a grumpy face and said what..aise kya dekh rhi ho..

Nandini smiled more after Manik spoke and said.... "Toh Monster was jealous. Haan..

"What? Jealous? What nonsense is this? I m not jealous ok. Manik said annoyingly. But from inner, he very well knew it's is jealousy but he is a monster how can he slope down so easily. 😈

But our Nandini is also no less. She smirked again and continued.

Acha...toh you are not jealous of Aryaman. But u don't like him being close to me, why?? Nandini said looking at him.

And our Monster caught. Now what will he say. Let's see...

"Because nobody has the right coming close to u except me, do u understand that!! Manik said, as he had enough of all this friendship drama now.

Nandini hears this and a huge smile crept on her lips, she wanna jump, scream,yell and what not. As finally she hears what she wanted to hear and waiting for it. But she controlled as Manik didn't said clearly now.
So she again asked...

"Why? Manik.

Manik come close to Nandini and spoke...

"Because, I don't like anyone touches you, forget touch, I don't like some other even stare you, trying coming close to u. Whenever I see some other being close to u, u know it's hurts here (he grabs Nandini's hands and putted on his heart and said very cutely) . I don't know why I feel this but, I fill like beating that someone blue n black and pulled u my side closer! (He said and pulled Nandini closer to him grabbing her both arms, and Nandini smiled)
Like this, grab ur waist and show to the world that YOU ARE MINE, ONLY MINE!! (He said grabbing her waist, and finished all the gap between them) . Mujhe nhi pata, why I feel all this but whenever you are with me, I feel happy, I feel special, I feel top of the world. I feel I have the most beautiful and innocent girl by my side, which is only MINE. And no one can ever have her, just like I have. And I can say it proudly to the world! I don't know what you think of me. But definitely for me you are more than a friend, a very special person which I want always be my side, if then I have anyone or not,that doesn't matter, I don't care a bit. But just YOU, ONLY YOU NANDINI.

Manik became silent after saying this, and stare at Nandini to find her pov. But Nandini was lost in his eyes deep, she kept on staring him direct in his eyes. She felt herself more drown in his eyes by each word he said to her. She was absorbing his every word deep down in her heart, to save them into it forever n ever.

Manik saw Nandini still lost, so he called her name lovingly while stirred her a little. Nandini came out of her land and it took her a moment to realize what just happened now. Nandini came out but again didn't said a word and just looked down.

She couldn't hold herself more after listening such an hearty, truly and loved filled confession from him and looked up at him to find he intensely looking at her already, and she again felt herself drowning in his deep brown hazel eyes and her emotions overpowering on her and she just crashed her lips on his.

Manik was stunned with her reaction, he was fully taken a back to see Nandini's bold act, he was in dilemma and stood their still like a statue, not responding to her and here Nandini was sucking his lips like a hungry cat. She was nibbling his both lips and smiled in between the kiss seeing Manik's shocked face.

Now she was getting irritated seeing Manik still not responding to her and still lost, so she bite his lips harshly to make him come out of his land and respond to the kiss.

Manik came out in the reality after Nandini bite his lips and then he smiled widely and slowly steadily started responding her. And this makes Nandini super happy, she also smiled and kiss him more lovingly n wildly.

Both are kissing each other madly, deeply n wildly, pouring all the love which they had for each other. No one is ready to broke the kiss. The kiss was becoming more n more passionate by each passing second.

Manik bite Nandini's lips making Nandini gasp and open her mouth and Manik taking the opportunity slid his tongue into her mouth to explore each n every corner of it.

Both were exploring each other's mouth, devouring all the emotions in this kiss and were trying to dominate each other. They had a mini fight of their tongues. Nandini kissing his upper lips now, and Manik kissing, nibbling and chewing her lower lip. Their lips were moving in a sync, felt like they were meant for each other only. It felt So Perfect, So Right, like it was all written already in their fate. And soon they became breathless, and broke apart in need of oxygen.

Both broke apart and joined their foreheads, and were panting heavily, catching their breaths. Their eyes were closed but they can felt that both are completed now, contented. They found their missing parts in each other's bodies.

Manik first opened his eyes and called her name like a prayer. Hearing this Nandini also opened her eyes looked at him with all the love in her eyes indicating him to read her feelings through her eyes. But Manik was expecting her to speak though he can easily read her eyes what they want to say to him. But still he want to listen it, but here Nandini was all silent.

Nandini's silence irked Manik so he asked.... Nandini kuch bolo, why u so silent?

Nandini looked up at him smilingly but again looked down blushingly. And it annoy him.

"Nandini say something na, today I told u what my heart felt for you from so long, and u r silent. Plz kuch toh kaho, your silence annoying me now. "  said Manik annoyingly moving little backward.

"Kya...kya bolu main Manik." Nandini said after a long silence.

"Aree,mujhe kya pta, tum socho" said Manik irritated.

"Manik, do I need to say anything still, tumhe nhi pta what I feel for you, you understand me that much, which no one can. Hain na, so I don't think I need to express my feelings for you. Nandini said thought tease Manik a bit.

"Ha Nandini mana I understand you as much as u understand me. But I express na, toh you should also bas." Manik said stubbornly as he wanted to listen from her mouth.

" Manik, it's not like tumne bola toh I also say. You know na, toh bas khehne ki kya jarurat." Nandini said moving aside a little from Manik and see him squinting her eyes.

"No, you have to say it. That's it. Say.. Manik said frustrated.

"No, I won't say."

'Yes,you will.'

"Noooo"

'Yesss'

"Noooo means no"

They both fight yes or no and turned angrily on other side. And murmured..

(Can't he understand I m a girl, how can I say it comfortably, I needed time. But no, he is so impatient, hone do I will not say. Huhhh).

(Can't she say it, I wanted to listen it from so long but arrrrghhh.... She loves to pissing me off).

Just then an idea struck to Manik's mind how can he make her say it, just like she did. He thought and an wicked grin crept on his lips and he turned to look Nandini and spoke.

"So, tum nhi Bologi? He asked.

"Nhi" she replied.

"Its your final decision?" He again asked smirkingly.

"Yes, ek dum final" she replied being confused seeing his smirk. As she understanding that he was up to something but kya, she didn't able to locate it.

"Ok....then bye." He said and started walking from there smilingly inwardly, leaving Nandini all baffled and confused.
