Manik's Pov.

I immediately ran in that direction which I think that Nandini must be there. And bull's eye.. I was correct.
I smiled widely when I see her on the terrace, facing her back. I looked at her with a relaxing smile on my face. Phewwww  She is fine. I became very worried for her. If something happens to her na then I never able to forgive myself. I thanks to god for that.

( You guessed correct dear..@nikki5322 Congrats )

Then reality hit me that I came here to persuade her, by this I remembered the call which I did while finding her. Then I moved towards her with steady steps, keeping in mind that not to make sound. While moving I started singing..

Laal laal gaal
Jaise tamatar
Nandu ka gussa,
chhad gaya chhat pr..

When I started singing , she immediately turned and looked at me. She looked at me with wide eyes as soon as she registered my words which I singing. I slightly chuckled at her expressions. She is so cute. I feel like just go nd pulled her puffy cheeks which are now more puffy becoz of anger. But I controlled and continue the singing.

Kaise manau usse lgta h darr
Kahu kuch toh roegi vo balti bhar-  bhar...

I sang these lines dramatically. I gave each expression like I dont know how to persuade her, & I m scared of her. If I said something to her, she will start crying filling the buckets with her tears.

Nandini all the time just looking at me with amaze expression. Like I m a ghost hahahhah. But after sometime she looked down and thought something....umm I know what she must be thinking. Then all of a sudden she looked up at me with anger on her face and make a cute angry pout. Aahhh... This little naa is so kiddish man. But I have to took her anger away somehow. So I started once again.

End Pov.

Nandini's Pov.

After I exited the audi. I came on terrace to get some peace. I was so angry and hurt. I kept standing there with folding hands, and looking up at the sky. Cursing Manik and complained about him to my Aiyaappa.

I kept blabbering until I heard Manik voice. I turned and saw him, he was standing little away from me. And singing something. As soon as I came to understand his words. Shocked is an understatement I was stunned, I froze at my place. I kept looking at him with same expression. And he sang those lines.

Kaise manau usse lgta h darr
Kahu kuch toh roegi vo balti bhar-  bhar...

He sang these lines in a dramatic way. But I was in a shocked that how come he knows about it. Its only amma knows. I was thinking this with my head down. Then I again looked at him with anger as I thought he must be read my personal diary in which I write about my life related things. I make a anger pout which didnt unnoticed by him. But as I was about ask him about these lines, he again started singing.

Laal laal gaal
Jaise tamatar
Nandu ka gussa
Chhad gaya chhat pr...

This time he sang these lines with holding his ears, indicating me to forgive him. How cute he is looking or rather making cute - cute faces to make me fell on his cuteness and forgive him. My anger flew away looking at him besides his voice is so magical. Ummm now I know why all girls goes head over heels on him. His singing can make anyone fell for him. His charm and looks just as icing on the cake. He has all qualities what every girl wants. My thoughts came into halt when he sings further...

(Just imagine his face ).

Kaise manau usse lgta h darr..
Kahu kuch toh royegi vo balti bhar- bhar....

He completed the lines with the cuteness overloaded from his face. I turned around to hide my smile from him. He comes closer to me, near my ears and whispered sorry in utterly cute voice.. Ohh god he was giving me tough time.. I instantly turned around as enough of this pretending session I can't pretend to be angry anymore so I spoke looking into his eyes.. Manik I will accept ur apology but first tell me from where you got to know about this song??  I asked him..

Just then I asked this question he raised his eyebrows and said...no..naah first u accept my apology then I promise I will tell u.

This guy na I tell you. I mean I m angry on him so he has to listen to me but no iss situation me bhi apni hi chlani h..huhh. Fine if u r stubborn then I m not less. I thought and spoke no..u tell me first.

He again said noo... U accept first.

Arghhhhh... Monster monster.....aiyappa kya kru main iss ladke ka.... I said looking up.

OK..fine apology accepted ab bolo. I said becoz I desperately wanted to know from where he found this song. So I accepted.

As I said he smiled widely and hugged me muttering thanks .
I got shocked by his this sudden act..he griped me tight as if saying me to respond. And I wasn't able to respond to anything nor I broke the hug I kept standing there for few minutes. But all of a sudden my hands automatically go to his back and....I hugged him..I hugged him. It felt so good to be in his arms like this. I felt happy, contented as if my world starts and ends there. A strange feeling I m experiencing in this hug.

(First Hug)

We broke the hug after realising the reality. I looked down in shyness not able to meet to his eyes. We didn't spoke for few minutes. So somehow I composes myself and looked up and face him like nothing awkward happened and spoke. Manik ...tum he ....ye song.... kha se mila.. I stammered a little while speaking.

He looked at me and said Navya... Navya ne btaya...

Navya ne.... But usse kaise pta chla...jha tak I know I didn't told her this... I said confusingly. Becoz I never told Navya about this. Then how come she knows it.

End Pov.

Manik's Pov.

I smiled widely when she finally accepted my apology. And hugged her in excitement. I don't know why..why I did this but its felt so good to have her in my arms. I felt completed. I just want time to stop right there. I gripped her tight to feel the moment. As if I loose my grip I will lose it. And then she respond. She hugged me back and I was on cloud 9. I hugged him more tight.

We broke the hug god knows from how long we are hugging each other. And then she again asked me that question which I m trying not to face it. And finally I gathered some courage and replied her..
Navya... Navya ne btaya...

I said to her but how come she easily stop she again said.. Navya ne.... But usse kaise pta chla...jha tak I know I didn't told her this...

But this little is so stubborn. Not leaving the topic. Arre pta chl gya toh chl gya whats the big deal. But no..madam ko sb kuch jan na h. I thought and drown into the flashback where Navya told me this..

Flashback

I was searching her and thinking how will I persuade her then an idea pop into my mind. And I took out my phone and dialed Navya's no. She picked up in 2 or 3 rings.

Navya- hello!! Manik where r u we all are waiting for u here. And Nandu kha h? Tumhare sath h kya..

She picked and start blabbering. This Madhubala speaks a lott...arghh. But some how I control and answered him

Me - Navya calm down. And listen to me. Nandini and I.. we fought and now she gone some where I m searching her.

As soon as I said this. She yelled on phone.

Navya- What?? Nandu kha..kha chli gyi and why u both again fought u both are seriously impossible. Waise kis bat pr lade tum dono btaoge hume.

Manik- Navya don't worry I will find her..yahin kahin hogi kha jaegi. And bat I will tell u later. But I know its my mistake I again made her angry. Tum mujhe bas itna btao ab main usse manau kaise..help kr skti ho meri.

Navya- help ruko..hum kuch sochte h. Nandini ko manana itna easy nhi h Manik. Ha wait uski mom. She can help us. Tum wait kro main uski mom se bat krti hu.

Manik- yeah that's a good idea. Listen tell me fast OK. Bye.

Navya- hmm bye.

I hung up and after 2mins again my phone rang. And it was Navya. I instantly picked up and then she told me about this song. I seriously liked the song. Perfect on her. Then again I started searching her.

Flashback end.

I came back from my trance by nandini's voice. She looked at me with questioning look on her face. Waiting for my answer. I scared of telling her this , what if she again gets angry after listening this. But do I have any other option. No. Manik himmat kr aur bol de. Jo hoga dekha jayega.

I gathered some courage and looked at her to tell the truth.

End Pov.

Nandini's Pov.

Manik looked down after I spoke. He looks here and there. And then looked at me and stammeringly answered me.

Vo..vo..I asked Navya to help me so for that.. She called ur mother and your mum told us that whenever u get angry she sang this song for u. And by hearing this ur anger ran away in seconds. Tohh..

Toh tumne mujhe mana ne ke liye ye song gaya.. I completed his left words. He looked at me and nodded his head positively. I laughed looking at his sacred face. He must be thinking that I will become angry after listening this. But actually I m really really happy. Becoz he made so much efforts to persuade me. How sweet... No one never ever did something like that for me just to persuade me except my parents.

Manik looked at me hearing my laughter. And shockingly looked at me. I laughed more seeing his expression.

Awwww Manik you are so sweet. I pulled his cheeks and said. He dumbfoundedly kept looking at me. And I speak further.. You are so sweet tumhe sach me laga I became angry after listening this. Why manik? Why I will be angry. U did so much just to persuade me. Seriously u made me feel so special toady.  I bite my lips realising what blunder I said. But the damage was done now. Aiyaapa save me.

He looked at me. And smirked and said..acha... I made you feel special.  He said and comes closer to me and now my turn to looked down. I smiled shyly and nodded. Ok..So don't u think I deserved something in return. He smirkingly said. I instantly looked up at him and confusingly said what..what u want.
Ummm...let me guess..  he said and start thinking. Aiyappa kha phas gyi main.. I thought and cursed myself to spoke so bluntly. Don't know now what he wants.

After 2 min of thinking he spoke Nandini...chhodo bad me kabhi I will ask. Its due OK..

I sighed in relief. Ufff thank god aiyappa he left this but its quite shocking. Manik Malhotra leaves the opportunity so easily. But good for me. I thought. And replied him  OK..as u say.

Chlo everyone must be waiting for us. Manik said and started moving.
But I stopped him. He turned and asked what.

Friends...!! I said forward my hand.

Manik looked at me with amazement written all over his face. I chuckled looking at him. And again said manik can we friends?

Manik- haan..haa..ha sure.

Manik said coming out of his world. And hand shake with me. I smiled and said cool..chle.

Haan Chlo.
Manik said and we head towards the Audi.
