As soon as she decided to wake up, she moved a bit, that's when she felt restrictions, she turned a little and then looked back to see Manik sleeping, with his face hidden on her hair, his mouth slightly open and snoring lowly.

She smiled and moved away, then she turned around to look at him. As she turned around and laid down on her back, her hair got set beautifully on the pillow, which she was unaware off. She looked gorgeous.

Anyways, she smiled seeing him sleeping and touched his jaw very softly. She felt his prickly beard. After few moments she gently closed his mouth and moved to get up. As she moved, she felt tired but she had to get up.

She dragged her sleeping posture to bring it in sitting position, all the time her hand sticking the quilt to her bare chest. Then she looked around for any cloth but only found her saree. Taking that she rolled it around her upper body, just to cover herself and then started getting down the bed.

Soon she was off the bed, she started walking towards the cupboard to pick up her towel or bathrobe, which ever is seen easily. While she was walking she felt sore and tired. She knew it was not just the make out but a little bit of unwanted holi too.

Puffing in tiredness, she entered the bathroom and took a nice warm bubble bathtub bath. It took her 45 mins but she did relax herself to some extent. After bathing, she came out and wrapped herself in a light saree.

Combing her hair and applying vermilion,with no jewellery. She made her way downstairs, the joints of her thighs were paining not too much but at times she felt the strain on them.

When she came down, she saw everybody in the living room, kind off tired. She joined them and asked a butler for a cup of coffee. Mr Malhotra was sleeping as he was out with his friends and came back before an hour. So he was not present there.

Nandini was giving massage to her nape and around it to reveal the tiredness. She drank the hot coffee which boosted her body a little, she was talking with the gang abt the celebration and also asked butlers abt the cleaning stuff.

The rest of the day passed lazily, with Manik waking up and troubling Nandini. The night ended with sore body for everyone. Next 2 days Nandini felt extremely tired. She had to catch up the music practice but she was too tired to even cook.

15 days of March have been completed, everybody were busy in their lives, at one dinner, the whole gang along with kids gathered at Malhotra mansion. Right now they were at the dinner table, when cabir spoke on everybody's behalf.

C-Manik......hum soch rhe the........let's go for a vacation..........

To which navya interrupted suddenly and in excitement.

Na-out of India.

Except from Manan, all eyed at Navya as she is breaking the strength of the conversation. So fixing it cabir said.

C-haan.........out of India........it's been long that we have been to some new place....all together. Waise bhi bacho k vacation chal rhe hai......toh

Ma-kis chiz ka vacation?

C-school ka.

Ma-aacha.........aur kaun jaa rha hai school?

Cabir got tounge tied as except from aarav no kid is going to the school. They stayed silent, it seemed they were scared of this topic but nobody is realising as to why they are scared, Manik is just like them, not superior to them. Anyways after a few seconds of silence he said.

C-aarav........aarav jata hai na school.

Manik moved his head while stuffing his mouth with a morsel. While he was chewing, Mr Malhotra spoke.

Mr m-jaa kar aao tumlog........Maldives is a good place.

The gang looked at him, while Manik spoke after gulping his bite.

Ma-thik hai........but we need to wrap up the work first.........Nandini has her recordings in the next 2 days........and we need to stay back for a week post recording for safe side......plus office thing.........so we can schedule the trip for April.

On hearing this, it seemed like everybody were relaxed, smile appeared on their lips and they were happy.

Mu-now that we are going.........Manik saari bookings tu karega........along with finalising the place and date.

Everybody bobbed their head in agreement and it was decided that they all are going for a vacation in April.

2 days passed in a jiffy, Nandini was prepared with the songs but as the time was coming closer, she was getting nervous. Today was the day for the recording, Nandini woke up early but except from getting ready for a while in her routine clothes, she did nothing.

Nervousness took the best of her sanity, she didn't feel to touch even a plate, she asked the butlers to prepare the breakfast. She was so nervous that she simply paced in the living room. After 1/2 an hour, the door opened and the gang entered cheerfully.

Nandini passed a faint smile at them, while they were just pouncing on Nandini in happiness. They started sharing their experiences and were motivating Nandini but everything was going above her head.

Nandini didn't even came to wake up Manik. He woke up by himself as his mind was alert abt this day. He got ready to leave for the studio and came down to see Nandini surrounded by the gang. He wished good morning to everybody and joined them.

Mr Malhotra entered the mansion to see the same scene. He smiled at them and after exchanging pleasantries, he went to freshen up. Soon they were at the dining table for breakfast. Nandini hardly ate a few morsels. Seeing her so much disturbed Mr Malhotra spoke.

Mr m-Nandini.......thik se khao........and don't worry so much.

Manik agreed to him, Nandini just gave a faint smile and ate 2-3 bites more, then she got up abruptly saying.

Nan-mei ready ho jati ho.......so we can leave after breakfast.

Saying that she walked away. Seeing her going aaliya spoke.

Aa-she is nervous........I hope she can calm herself.

With this they started talking abt this only. While Nandini came in her room and took the outfit that she had decided to wear for this event. Taking the hanger, she moved to change but she felt tired, that's why she sat on the bed huffing.

There was silence in the room, she felt her breathings to be abnormal, she felt her tummy to be hollow, her body heat was low then the usual temperature. She felt anxiety symptoms. She closed her eyes and concentrated on her breathings. After a good 4 mins of relaxation, she mumbled to herself.

Nan-come on Nandini........you can do it......yeh pehli baar nhi hai........meine stage pe bhi perform kiye hai.........so aaj toh it's studio...... in a closed room......in front of 4-5 people........I can do it........aur Manik bhi hai mere sath....... I don't need to worry........I can do it.......yes........ everything is going to be fine.......infact it's going to be perfect........yes.......it's going to be perfect.

After a good self motivation speeche, she opened her eyes to feel herself back to normal, she felt to be courageous enough. She got up and started changing in the room itself. Even though she was motivated, her subconscious mind kept poking her abt a hollow feeling.

The plain dress is Nandini's outfit but if you wish to assume the other one......then that's also okay.

Anyways, she got changed in the best of her attire, did little make up, wore suitable jewellery, combed her hair and left it open, rectified her vermilion and nupital chain and then picking up her phone, she came down.

Everybody were done with the breakfast and were waiting for Nandini in the living room. Soon she came and joined them. Everybody started wishing her luck one by one. Navya got the dahi cheeni. Mr Malhotra took that from her and feeded Nandini.

Then she bow down and took his blessings. They bid adieu too each other and then Manik held her wrist. Together they left the mansion. He opened the car door for Nandini and made her sit. Then he came to driving seat. Soon they hit the road.

Nandini was busy in herself, the nervousness and anxiety triggered her back. She was just looking on her lap, playing with her fingers. Manik was waiting for her to say something or look at him but nothing happened.

Finally, he himself, entwined their fingers and rested on her lap, when he did that, that's when Nandini looked at him and Manik realised that her hands were ice cold. He pressed their fingers gently, assuring her and making them warm and then he said.

Ma-relax Nandini.........nothing is going to go wrong.........it's just a normal recording.......and you can take your time over there too.

Nandini just passed a faint smile and bobbed her head. While Manik passed her a full fledged beautiful smile and then bought their entwined hands close to his lips and gave a warm kiss on the back of her palm. He rested their hands back on her lap.

Nandini placed her free hand on their joint hands and was grasping his body heat as much as she could. There was silence btwn them but suddenly Nandini's phone blared, scaring her. She relaxed herself in the next min and looked at the caller id to find it's amms. She picked up the call from her free hand and.

Nan-hello.

Am-Nandu.........kaisi hai tu?

Nan-mei thik ho.......aap kaise hai?

Am-hum sab bhi thik hai.......aaj tera recording hai na?

Nan-haan amms.........mei bas on the way hi ho..........

Am-arey bahut aachi baat hai.........give your best Nandu.........muje pata hai tum aacha hi karogi........nervous mat hona.........aiyappa tumhare sath hai.

Nan(meekly)-ji.

Before they could talk further chachi was insisting amms to pass the phone to her and she did. In excitement both Chachi and Chacha talked with her, they blessed her, wished her and motivated her. Nandini replied meekly to them too.

After a never ending call, they ended it and soon they reached the studio. Nandini felt more nervous seeing the building but she kept herself composed.

Manik parked the car and they got down, Mr Narayan was informed abt their arrival. So he came to receive them. He wasn't expecting them to be on time, that's why their side of preparation was left a little.

After exchanging pleasantries, he escorted them in a green room, apologising them for the delay. They sat, unintentionally Nandini sat infront of the mirror, on the make up chair. She was lost and Manik was just looking at her nervous state. Trying to figure out a way for her.

Their lost lost session was disturbed by the entrance of an unknown lady, who entered in with a box type thing. She greeted them and kept her box on the front table of Nandini. Then she said.

L-ma'am please sit straight.......I'll do your make up.

This was the last thing, Nandini panicked more and turned to Manik and said in a haste tone.

Nan-make up........what make up........haven't we decided of no shooting.........then.

Seeing her so much panicked, Manik came to her while the make up artist was confused.

Ma-relax Nandini........it's just a casual stuff.

Nan-no........then they will say.......shoot is also a casual stuff.

She started reacting in worry. Manik held her shoulder and signaled the girl to leave, who left in the next moment. As she left Manik jerked Nandini towards him.

Ma-NANDINI.........calm down.......it's just a song recording.

When he did all this, Nandini was suddenly numb. She just kept looking at him and was blinking at low pace.

Hey guys.....here is the update. Firstly I would tell this......many had requested a small nok-jok btwn Manan post holi........but that didn't happen....... the reason was......firstly Nandini played holi back......with Manik......though in rage.......and then the passionate love making........I think......after this...... hardly any girl will complain....... not that the make out was a bribe......but the love she felt during make out vanished all the harmless grudges.......

Secondly no offence to anybody.......and I am not saying it because of some reasons too.......I was in this thinking process too......that's why I am mentioning it in today's chp.......it might be coincidence but it's not intentional.

I know.......they story might have got dragged or boring or showing just stuffs but no romance........it has many reasons.

One of it is my interest in the story itself....... lately.......I don't feel like writing....... don't worry I am not going to leave the story in mid.........I need some time and space to get in the flow of the story...... previously when I used to update regularly.......I was in constant touch with the story.......which helped me to think new, romantic and funny scenes...... plus you ppl too felt the fun as I was so much into the story........but the recent happenings around me have disturbed me badly........I can't connect myself to do any work.......not just story.......but also things related to me health too........I am trying to write on everyday basis.......even if I right just 1/4 at one day........but I need time...... please bear these chps.......these are not off track.......this is the sequence only but the unplanned romantic scenes that use to come in the flow are not included in this........plz just adjust for this month and pray for me........that's all o would say.......any advice or comment doesn't hurt me......so plz don't think it that way........I just said this coz I know.......you ppl will understand me and also pray for me genuinely.

Sorry for the boring note too. Good night bye. Next chp on Saturday..... according to schedule and yes......on Sunday I am planning for a double update......so get ready too😊.
