Avoid mistakes if any. I will try to update this repeated chps this week.

Ma-HAAN NHI HAI HUM JUST FRIENDS........SUNA TUMNE.........WE ARE NOT JUST FRIENDS.

Fab4 looked at each other in shock and before Manik and Soha could fight Mukti turned around Manik to make him face at them and asked her with anger and disappointment.

Mu-Manik what is all this and yeh sab kabse chal rha hai...........?

Manik was not at all in mood to answer them so he ordered looking at them.

Ma-I m not waiting over here for another min. Meine driver bolaya hai get ready we are leaving soon.

Saying this he walked out of there and entered in his room to pack his bag. He just dumped his clothes and within 5 he walked out with his bag and entered in Nandini's room and packed her bags too.

He sat beside her to calm his anger and was caressing his hair. After a short nap Nandini woke up to see a loving Manik beside her. She looked at him blankly and Manik caressed her face.

Ma-are you feeling better now?

Nandini bobbed her head and then got up to sit.

Ma-get fresh we are leaving now.

Nan-NOW?

Nandini realised this album deal and then she looked at him and was abt to protest but before she could say Manik placed his finger on her lips and said.

Ma-nothing........we are leaving and that's final.

His tone held authority yet softness. Unwillingly Nandini agreed and got up to get fresh. While Nandini was in bathroom Manik called his driver and asked him abt his whereabouts. The driver told him that he will reach soon. Nandini came out wiping her face and Manik picked their bags and said.

Ma-chalo..........

Nandini kept the towel on bed and took her dhuppta and walked behind him. There was still time for driver to come but Manik preferred to stay out rather than at Soha's farmhouse.

By the time they were standing fab4 too came with their bags and looking at Nandini they gave her disappointing and disgusting looks which made Nandini nervous.

After 5 mins driver came with Manik's black sedan car and Manik walked towards the car with the bags saying Nandini to follow him. Driver rushed and took bags from Manik's hand and placed it in the trunk. Manik walked behind driver.He told the driver.

Ma-tum woh wali gadi chala k aao mei yeh car le jaoga.

Saying this both exchanged the car keys and driver rushed to help fab4. Fab4 walked towards the car and Manik thought Nandini is behind him while Soha came at the door to see them leaving.

Nandini was standing perfectly in certain of trio. She looked at Manik who is interlinked with fab4 and the whole fab5 is interlinked with Soha as Khurrana's is gvg them the opportunity.

She felt helpless looking at the mess. This is not the way she wanted her relationship to be revealed to Manik's friends. She was thinking and feeling guilty abt everything. On the other hand Manik thought Nandini is near him so he told her.

Ma-Nandini sit in the car.......

He was waiting for her to sit though Manik's whole attention was not on her but then he could easily feel if the door was opened or not. He unlocked his car and again said thinking Nandini is behind him.

Ma-Nandini I said sit in the car.

While Nandini over there was standing like a statue looking at all the people around. While when Manik didn't get any answer he turned around to see her and found her nowhere.

Ma-Nandini?

He turned around completely and saw Nandini standing there only so he called out loud bringing her back from her guilt.

Ma-NANDINI.........

He walked to her and holded her palm

and drag her towards car infront of everyone.

He came at the passenger side and opened the door for her and said.

Ma-sit.

Nandini sat and Manik too sat. The driver was also waiting for fab4 so they all too sat and Manik started driving in reverse to get out of the gate and driver followed him.

They hit the road and Manik with hand actioned the driver to go ahead of them so the driver took a ryt and then came ahead of Manik's car.

For some distance Nandini didn't say anything but then she closed her eyes to gather herself and then asked in her soft tone.

Nan-Manik.........yeh sab tum kyu kr rhe ho....... this album is important.........

Hearing her Manik stopped his car on the left of the road and turned to her. He cupped her face and said.

Ma-meine pehle bhi bola tha.........nothing is important for me other than you......

Nan-but Manik it is important for fab5....... cabir needs it.

Ma-And I need you.........you realise agar tumhe kuch hojata toh mera kya hota.........agar mei 5 min bhi late aaya hota toh I could have lost you for forever..........do you understand this thing.

Nan-Manik but tum itna impulsive behave nhi kr skte and let the deal go.........it's abt your career.......fab5 's career.........aur.......

She was interrupted by Manik.

Ma-DEAL DEAL DEAL..........Nandini I m sick and tired of this deal thing now........mei khud ab ek deal ban gaya ho.......jisse jaise chahiye waise use karo.........

Nandini stopped him by holding his hands and then said in soft tone.

Nan-aise mat bolo..........I didn't mean to make you feel like that.........all I m saying is that I don't want to be the reason of your failure........ Manik I wish to make your life perfect not to mess it up all the way more.......

Ma-that's exactly what I m trying to say you...... tum ho toh sab kuch thik hojayega.........have faith on me Nandini........I will manage everything..........

Nandini looked in his eyes and said

Nan-I trust you.......

They had a cute eye lock and then Nandini came ahead and both hugged each other tightly. After a very long hug Manik moved ahead and cupping her ryt jaw he said.

Ma-just stay with me and I will make everything perfect.

Nandini bobbed her head in assurance and Manik kissed her forehead.

He resumed driving and Nandini entwined her palm with him.

Driving for an hour Manik entered in the area of Pizza Hut that was build on highway for tourists. He got down and Nandini followed him. Manik locked his car and again holded her hand and lead their way inside the restaurant.

Entering in Manik made Nandini sit on the empty table for two and headed to give their order he waited in the queue and once it was his turn Manik placed the order and paid the bill.

He came back as their order will be served to them. As he sat Nandini holded his palm and asked.

Nan-feeling better now.......?

Manik huffed tiredly and then bobbed his head. They looked around and saw the staff decorating the restaurant as valentines is after 2 days. They were liking the ambience.

Their order was served and Manik passed Nandini her pizza and opened for her the can of soft drink. Nandini touched the pizza but it was very hot which is why she left it. After few seconds they started eating. Nandini offered her pizza to him coz she knows that Manik loves pizza a lot.

After a good early evening dinner they resumed their journey. On the other side fab3 were blazing fire with their words for Nandini while cabir tried to make them understand the matter which back fired as fab3 understood that cabir knew it and he too hided with them which is why they were angry with him too. Manan's sudden revelations have made fab3's pov changed towards Nandini. Suddenly every good thing Nandini did was now understood as her tricks and cleverness.

After a long journey finally everybody reached Mumbai. Fab4 told driver to take them Malhotra mansion while Manik was driving to drop Nandini.

It was 11.30 pm by the time Manan arrived at Nandini's place. Manik stopped the car and both got down. Nandini came at the opposite side of car and Manik went to bring out her bag from the trunk.

He came back to Nandini and she took her bag from his hand and placed it on the ground and then she holded Manik's hand and said in a corncern tone.

Nan-you look very tired Manik.........go home and sleep.........don't think of any other thing.......okay.

Manik bobbed his head lazily and then kissed her forehead. He looked at her intensely and then said.

Ma-I will miss you........sleeping beside you......

Saying this he moved his hair strand behind her ear. Nandini smiled and said.

Nan-hum kaal milenge college mei.......

Ma-hhmm.......

Nandini picked up get bag to go but then Manik took that from her hand and said.

Ma-come I will drop you till the door.

Nandini blinked her eyes and both walked towards the door. Reaching there Manik was abt to ring the bell but then Nandini stopped him and said.

Nan-chacha chachi ko mat batana abt the pool thing......khamkha pareshaan hojayenge.

Ma-okay.

And then Chachi opened the door making Manan scared a little. While looking at them Chachi got overly excited and said.

C-arey tum dono bhar kya khade ho........andar aao........pata hai mei tum dono ko kitna miss kr rhi thi........waise tumlog aaj aanewale the toh muje kyu nhi bataya.......

Nan-Chachi.......woh practice jldi puri hogai na isliye hum aaj hi aagaye........

C-ohh.....aacha hai.......chalo andar aao........

Nandini took bag from Manik and stepped in while Manik waited for them to close the door. Seeing Manik not moving Chachi said.

C-arey tum andar kyu nhi aa rhe........

Instead of Manik Nandini replied.

Nan-Chachi aaj nhi.........aaj woh bahut thak gaya hai.......

Ma-haan mei 2-3 din baad phirse aaoga proper dinner k liye.

C-aacha (disappointedly)...........chalo koi nhi........lekin aana zarur......

Ma-ji.........bye.

He wished good bye to both the ladies and turned around to leave. After he was away from house Chachi closed the door and asked Nandini abt their whereabouts and she kept on talking abt her days without her. In btwn Nandini excused herself and came back in her room.

On the other hand Manik sat in his car and waited for Nandini. He stretched his neck left and ryt to loose his muscles. Nandini came back in her room hurriedly and came in her balcony

(Okay I know you all remember Nandini's window but in my story Nandini have an balcony with a complete glass slidings. Once can stand there as you can see in the down pics.....this will have some other use too that you will know in further chps)

She was expecting Manik to be still there and he was. Manik too felt her presence so he looked up and found Nandini there. Both waved at each other and finally Manik left.

While driving he was thinking to talk with his dad abt Khurrana's and teach them a great lesson while Nandini came back in room and just the thought came in her mind abt Soha and Manik. She didn't wanted to create further mess so she immediately msgd Manik coz she knew he is driving ryt now.

Nandini msgd Manik

Don't think of any stupid revenge or punishment against Khurrana's......I don't want any mess for anyone of us......plz do this much for me.

She sended the msg and came back to Chachi. Chacha was also there. They had a small family time and then came in their rooms to end the day.

Manik's phone vibrated making him notified abt receiving a msg. He thought to look that later. He drove back to home and once he parked his car he got down and walked towards his door.

While walking he looked for the msg and seeing Nandini's msg he couldn't understand why she wants to let soha go so easily. Being busy in his phone he entered the house and was walking towards stairs unaware of fab4's presence but he was made alert abt them when he heard aaliya stern tone calling him.

Aa-Manik.......

He turned around and found the curious and furious fab3 with cabir standing there waiting for him.

Tmrw I will try to update chp 13 n you me will come after this week. Good night
