after 3 days Manik was suppose to leave for Sydney. Tonight was his flight n he was busy in packing while nyonika was stuffing his bag with warm clothes, some home made food atleast that he can consume for few days .

Finally leaving for airport Manik hugged all his fmly members m friends n left for airport. Boarding the flight Manik took rest. Suddenly he started feeling happy. He started getting good vibes making him think positive.

His flight landed and he came out of airport. A driver was waiting for him with a car. Putting his luggage in trunk they drove off to the house were Manik will be staying as he will be here for a year probably.

Cmg home Manik Changed and fell on the bed. Feeling the soft mattress after a long time Manik slept in a jet speed.

He woke up next day and dcd to take rest for the whole day n resume work from day after tmrw as tmrw there is Christmas n the whole city will celebrate it.

Next day Manik came out n was roaming around the city. Having delicious food, exploring the city , having fun n celebrating Christmas alone yet delightfully.

The next day he joined the office n got himself busy in the work he has come for. He had a great day n headed towards his home back. He talked with his parents and having dinner he slept

This continued to 1 st January. Today he left from office around 6 n drove to Starbucks. Buying himself a coffee he drove his car. He stopped at the red signal n all the walking ppl were crossing the road.

Manik was abt to sip his coffee wen he saw a beautiful girl crossing the street. She was simple yet beautiful. Looking at her Manik felt the urge to know her more.

He was so much lost in his beauty that he dint realise that the signal had turn green from red. His trances were broken by the honks of other cars behind him. Unwillingly Manik drove away from there.

Rest of the nite he couldn't stay sane. Eating sleeping working watever he was doing that girls face flashed in front of his eyes.

Next day Smiling like a fool Manik came to work. Unknowingly he was so happy that he dint realise that not for once he had shouted or got angry on anything or anyone.

He purposely left early from office today with a driver n drove to the same street that he had crossed yesterday. He got down from the car n told his driver to leave. He waited for the time to turn 6.30 as he saw her yesterday at that time.

Soon his eyes fell on the opposite side of the road n noticed the same girl. He stood straight set his hair n coat making himself look like a gentleman he waited for her to come near.

Soon the signal turn red n those ppl started walking. That girl crossed the road still not noticing Manik n walked away from him. Manik quietly followed that girl hiding himself in the crowd.

He followed her till her home. Manik stayed at a distance once she had entered inside her house. He waited for her n saw the lights of her room on n the shadow of the girl could be seen.

Waiting for a long time to just have a glance of her Manik stayed there only . But he couldn't meet her so he left from there with a hope to meet tmrw .

Next day was the same . Manik waited at the same street whr he was there yesterday n again followed he till her house. Like this 4 days passed away.

Next day was Sunday. Holiday everywhere. Manik too was at home bt wanted to see that girl so he came to her house. There was a big play ground type of thing near her house n few teenagers were playing football. Wanting to see her Manik joined those teenagers as an excuse. Bt the whole day he couldn't meet her .

Unknowingly he slept on the bench nearby her house. He woke up next morning wen the sun rays went to harsh on his beauty sleep. He opened his eyes to realise whr he was n before he could understand everything completely he saw the same girl Cmg out of her house.

Leaving everything Manik again followed her hidingly. He stopped wen he noticed the girl entering a building. He looked carefully around n realised that it was an hospital.

He entered in n started finding the girl bt couldn't. Still finding her he started moving backwards n suddenly bumped on someone n both tripped bt holded each other from falling down completely.

Looking at the girl Manik realised that she is the same girl he was finding. He can now see her very closely. He noticed her soft pink lips,cute small nose, big deo eyes, chubby cheeks, beautiful skin complexion .

He was lost in her while the girl made him stand properly n than said

Girl-I m sorry....

He heard his voice n felt like angles are singing a sweet soothing lullaby. He dint realise wen she walked away with him n he kept staring at her. Soon reality hit him as she was now far away from him. He immediately stopped a ward boy passing by his side n asked

Ma-who is that girl

N pointed towards that direction. The ward boy looked at the girl kneely n said

Boy-oohh she....she is dr Nandini

Hearing her name Manik whispered

Ma-beautiful

The ward boy was confused and than left after seeing Manik dreaming. Manik went in the direction whr the girl had gone.

He started finding her. After a brief time he saw her walking in inside a cabin. He immediately came near the closed door of cabin n traced his hand on the name plate on the door which read "dr Nandini murthy" . Manik was abt to kiss the name plate bt stopped as he realised that ppl are watching him thinking him crazy.

Manik thought of something and started finding a place. Seems like destiny wanted them to meet. Coz Manik got wat he was finding. There saw a window whose glass was half broken. Getting an opportunity Manik came near that broken window and immediately place his hand on the broke glass n pressured his hand on that

Soon a big cut appeared on his palm n blood started oozing from his hand. He smiled victoryly admist the pain n than came back in the crowd. He hide his injury smartly from everyone bt wen he came near Nandini's door and acted of being in pain

He entered in and

Ma-ahhh .....dr .....mera hath

Nandini immediately stood up from her place seeing a patient bleeding badly. She came near him n held his wounded hand with her one hand and his shoulder with another to make him sit.

She immediately got the first aid n started cleaning his wound. While doing that Manik asked

Ma-khoon bahut beh Gaya hai na ab admit Hona padega.

Nandini looked at him as he spoke Hindi n than asked

Nan-you know Hindi

Ma-haan Indian ho Toh aayegi hi na

Nan-aur aapko kaise pata k muje Hindi Aati hai

Ma(flauting his smartness)-obviously Nandini murthy kisi foreigner ka naam thodi na hoga

Nandini looked at him with wide as thinking how does he know her name and seeing her expressions Manik said covering it up

Ma-woh Bhar door pe likha tha na dr Nandini murthy toh bas pata hai

Nandini looked at him and than continued her work n said

Nan-deep cut nhi hai admit hone ki zarurat nhi hai

Ma(freaking)-kyaaaa....... kyuuuu

Hearing him Nandini again looked at him with shock expressions thinking maybe that she heard something wrong so he immediately said

Ma-I mean it's nice.

N started laughing forcefully. Nandini completed his dressing n than said to him the precautions to be taken while washing her hands bt Manik heard nothing just relishing his sweet voice.

Once she was done she came to him n said

Nan-okay..... take care and bill Bhar counter pe

This was a clear indication for Manik to leave and unwillingly he left from there . He paid the bill and than received a call from office informing him that he is needed in the office. Manik left from there came home chngd to office wear n left for office. Same at evening he waited for her bt today he dint follow her bt left for his home.

After 2 days again Manik hurted his second hand and same he came to Nandini and did his dressing.

This routine followed for 2-3 times finally Nandini asked.

Nan-aapko baar baar hath pe chot kaise lag jati hai

Ma-woh Mei glass ki factory Mei kaam krta ho na isliye lag jati hai (lie)

Nan-ohhh

Once she was done she washed her hands while Manik said

Ma-aap mere sath coffee peene chalegi .

Nandini stood silent for a moment and than said

Nan-sorry I have work which can't be neglected.

Manik mouthed an ohh bidding bye to each other Manik left from there. Again a week passed bt Manik reduced hurting his hand.

On day he was purposely waiting for Nandini who crosses that road and wen she crossed the road Manik knowingly followed her and than came close to her and acted

Ma-hey doctor

Nandini looked at him and recognised him while Manik said

Ma-aap yahan....

Nan-mera ghar issi taraf aata Hai  so......

Ma-ohh

Nan-wat abt you

Ma-Mei actually dhund rha tha for a company to coffee

Nandini rolled her eyes while Manik said

Ma-why don't you join for it

Nandini was abt to deny bt Manik said not gvg her a chance to speak

Ma-plz don't deny let me give you a treat plzzz...... waise bhi its abt a month bt I m all alone here.......n ab bhi Indian hai Mei bhi so plz let's go.....plz plz plz

Nandini agreed as ppl were looking at them. Manik got so excited and than started walking.

Silently walking in Manik opened the door for Nandini n than pulled a chair for her. Nandini sat there comfortably and Manik then asked after sitting in front of her and asked

Ma-kya peeyengi aap

Nan-coffee with extra sugar

Ma-okay

And then he called a waiter and placed their order he called for some sandwiches too for both of them

Nandini noticed Manik's politeness towards a normal waiter and she was feeling happy seeing his manners.

Nandini was already aware of his well toned body inspite of his clothes on him n liked his body n face n today looking at his way of dealing with ppl impressed her the more.

After the waiter left Manik turned to Nandini and started talking to Nandini. They chatted normally abt their work life bt Manik mostly avoided the topic so that he doesn't have to lie.

Slowly slowly with the passing days they became friends. Nandini started enjoying his company while Manik was falling for her more n deep.

Manik was resting his head on his chair thinking abt all this. It was evening by now time to leave for home. Manik was so much lost in his thinking that he dint realise the time. Raj came in Manik's cabin and patted on his shoulder bringing him out of his trances and said

R-kaha khoya hai Manik.......chal ghar chal

Manik simply bobbed his head and stood up from his place gathered his things and walked out with raj towards his home .

Driving towards home Manik was all silent while raj was thinking how to console Manik .

They reached home and saw that the grp was present there to distract Manik from Nandini.
