They reached Goa around 6pm in the evening. All got out from the bus along with their luggage. And head towards their hotel. Its not a normal hotel where tourists usually stay rather its specially made for these kind of events where many audis made for practice. Nd have many bedrooms for stay. They quickly get in the hotel nd reach reception counter to take their room keys. Workers give them their keys nd show them their way to the rooms.

They moved to their rooms to take some rest as they were very tired. But before that they planned to meet up at 8pm for the dinner. All got in there rooms nd directly went for shower because of their cutee mud bath. Though they cleaned nd changed themselves there only but they still need proper shower. So they took shower nd soon all slept in their respective rooms.

Nandini's Pov.

I lazily stretch my hands to pick up my phone which was continuously buzzing dont know from when. Finally reached nd pick up my phone without looking at the caller id. I spoke hello still yawning. Hello Nandu how are you beta..voice came from other side. Nd I understood that it was my amma calling. And that reality strike me that I forgot to inform my parents about my arrivial. And my sleep went away. I stood up instantly nd panickingly replied Ohh Amma sorry sorry. I completely forgot to call u.

Amma- Dont panic beta. Relax . I know you must be tired nd thats why u forgot. Right?

Nandini- Yeah Mom. My mum is always right. nd before you started your questions let me tell u that I reached safely here nd completely enjoying it.

Amma- And my daughter is no less than me she already knows what i m going to ask.. Hmm interesting. And i m happy that you are safe n happy nd enjoying. So ok all the best for ur concert. Give ur best. Bbye tc.

Nandini- Thanks Amma. Bbye love u.

I hung up after bidding adieu to Amma. Then my eyes felt on the clock its showing 7.45 pm . Then i realised I have to go out for dinner at 8 pm as we planned before. I hurriedly got out from bed and went for freshen up.

I came out from my room nd started looking for others. Then I saw Manik is also coming out of his room. The event organisers gave us rooms adjacent to each other. The girls rooms are on one side nd boys are on one side. And coincidently Manik's room was just opposite to my room.

He smiled looking at me. I smiled back and roam my eyes from his head to toe. Aiyappa he is looking so damn hot in casual wear only.  He is wearing t-shirt nd shorts which is coming on to his knees only, his hair all gelled up.And his eyes whenever i see into it i felt myself going lost in it. His hazel brown eyes have a very strong effect on me. I completely lost in admiring him. That i didn't realised when he came and stood vry close to me.

MANIK's attire.

When he leaned over my face then I realised he is standing vry close to me nd leaning over me. I instantly looked down due to shyness. But he didnt stop infact he smirked with my action nd leans more. His proximity giving me goose bumps and my heart beat as usual become heavier.

Done checking me out.. Ms. Murthy.
I know I m very handsome and girls cant resist me.  He whispered into my ears. I promptly looked up when his words digest to my senses. I gulped down the saliva and replied what?? No.. I..i..m not checking u out..
And who said that u r so irresistible. I stammered while answering him becoz of two reasons. First his proximity doing havoc with my senes and second becoz i caught red handed. He actually understood what was I doing.

He smirked listened my reply and I again looked down. Becoz i was blushing now. And he spoke again.

Acha...then what are you doing ?? Tell me.. He said and pulled me by my arms. I m still looking down not able to look into his eyes afraid of being caught with my actual feelings. Say he said trying to make me look up. But I m adamant too.

I was continuously praying to Aiyappa for help and thinking of better excuse but my dumb head didn't give me any idea nd i cursed my head. He held my chin nd made me looked at him giving up on his speaking efforts.

I looked in his eyes which was already looking at me intently. He again asked the same question but before I reply to him. Cabir came and cleared his throat Ahem..ahem..

Manik instantly loosened his grip and we straightened ourselves. Cabir came and stood besides us and said.

Cabir- Guys Ye corridor h. Kuch toh sharam kro.. And chuckled.

I felt embarrassed and what a girl supposed do at these kind of situations..so i did that too.
(Nhi sumjhe arre looked down aur kya).

But Manik spoke Cabirrrr shut up..jaisa tu sumjh rha h waisa nhi h . we are just talking ok.

Cabir- Ohh acha like that..so you wanna say that ki tu aur nandini sirf bat kr rhe the vo bhi aise khadhe hokr.
He said and joined his hands to show them our postions by joining his hands vry close. Our eyes popped up seeing his hands like this. And I looked down being hell embarrassed.

MANik gets irritated and embarrassed a little but he is Manik Malhotra how can he show his actual sides easily. Now itna toh I know him. So he covered his embarrassment into annoyance Nd held Cabir's hands. And said while gritted his teeth Cabirrr have u lost it. Its nothing like that ok..

Cabir was about say something but before everyone came there and said
What happened guys any problem??

Again Cabir tried to speak but Manik palmed his mouth through his hands and said Nothing guys..bs we were waiting for u all.  Listen this all said Ok and starting moving from there. Manik sighed in relief and Cabir murmured in Manik ears Bach gya saale tu. But kab tak. And moved from there.

End Pov.

All came in the centre of the hotel. The workers come and show them there way to the dinner. They followed them and enter in the big hall where all the other participants already sitting there. All seated on empty chairs and waiter served the food.

After the dinner The organisers of the event came and introduced themselves. And so did all the participants give their introduction.

Now all were going to their rooms for rest as from tomorrow they have to do practice. Suddenly one boy came to Mukti and said Hii I m Abhimanyu..Nam to suna hi hoga (in SRK style) . And forward his hand for handshake.

Mukti- No..Nhi suna (and laugh.) Nd held is hand nd said. Hii I m Mukti.

Abhi-  ( put hands on his heart & said in a dramatic way) Ohh my bad luck..Mukti so beautiful name. So Ms.Mukti may i know why are you here for??

Mukti- Thanks. Your name is also nice. And yes u may( nd smiled) I m the member of Fab5. We are here for the opening performance of the concert. We introduced ourselves there few min back. You didnt see.

Abhi- Ohh yaa I see but You all are so famous for your singing and I m too a big fan of yours..i mean the Fab5  so I thought of meet you personally once. As you all are here so how can I missed this chance.

Mukti- Ohh that so sweet of you. Nice meeting you. And you are here for??

Abhi- Arre abhi toh mile hi h...Jan jaogi ki main yha kaise. Becoz I think ab hum milte rhenge so next time ke liye bhi toh kuch chhodhna padega na. If you came to know all about me then next time what we meet for nd most imp what we talk. Right.

Abhimanyu said this and left from their hurriedly.

Mukti- ( in mind) Weird..
Whatever she said and goes from there.

Manik's Pov.

We all greet Good Night to each other. And came into our rooms. I quickly took a shower before going to bed. It was a hectic day And now a cool shower is helped me to take away my tiredness a bit.

After the shower I laid on my bed then suddenly my mind started recollecting the memories of corridor with Nandini before dinner. In mind thinking.

When I came out of my room. I saw Nandini standing outside of her room which is  just opposite of mine. She is looking too beautiful and super cute in just simple wear. She is wearing a jumpsuit, with a single stone studs earrings, but its shines, shines like a star, her hair half tied up and other half was open, she put light kohl in her eyes, and a pink gloss on her already pink pouty lips. I again felt like kissed them right away. But I put a break to my thoughts when she saw me and our eyes met. Its was a blissful moment. Her eyes has the capturing power, whenever I see into them, i felt myself fully captured under her eyes spell. She is having a vry strong effect on me in just two days.

NANDINI's attire.

I pushed my thoughts away, By saying Manik Malhotra what are you doing..U again checking her out, get a grip of yourself. She is just your partner okk. I took a long breath and calm myself. But then I looked at her, she is also looking at me with a constant gaze and when she roam her eyes from my top to bottom. I smirked understand her gaze on me. Ummm toh SHe is also checking me out.  Unknowingly my lips curl into a small smile to see her like that. Absentmindedly I started walking towards her. And wait for her to react. But maybe she is too lost, So I leaned onto her. She suddenly came back to reality and looked at me but I didnt stop and whispered in her ears nd smirks at her reaction listening me after. Her face was worth watching. She shivered when I spoke and I again smirked on having my effect on her.

She stammered when replied me and I already know that she is was lying. She looked down nd I know why..becoz she was blushing. I really liked the color of her cheeks. But I m The Manik Malhotra how can I leave her easily. So held her from her waist and again asked. She didnt reply nd constantly looking down. Being impatient I held her chin with my index finger nd made her looked at me and again asked. But before she could reply Cabir and spoiled the moment. I m really enjoying her condition but this Cabir all spoiled it.

But how on earth is possible that Cabir Dhawan bina bole chup rhenge. And as usual he again speak his  Bakwass baatein. Nd Nandini looked down afte he spoke but replied him sternly that its nothing is that sort of.

But he didnt let go the topic and again spoke showing our positions. I really felt like killing him. Some how I controlled my emotion and replied him but he was again going to spoke but before that all came. And I sighed.

But How come my problems end so fastly. All came and asked. Cabir was going to answer then.But this time I spoke before Cabir again start his bakwass. I covered his mouth from my hand and replied. Thankfully they didnt asked more and we all moved out from there.
Thinking over.

I laughed remind the scene and soon slept.

End Pov.
