Avoid mistakes if any.....and yes the chps and small small leaps after every scene so bear it.    

A month have passed and Manan have grown extremely close. Except from having a lip lock they have done everything. Kissing each other's cheek,hugging,sleeping close to each other or on each other,spending maximum time with each other. Well their closeness can be seen and felt easily even to stranger than Chacha Chachi must have obviously seen.     

With time even dhrulya were accepted by rest of them and they even got use to with Manan. Things have cool down btwn the girls but still they cannot talk frankly like other normal people.     

Anyways today Nandini came alone to college coz she had some work on the way to college and fab5 came together. At one corner of staircase Nandini was checking the notice as the notice board was there.     

Manik arrived with fab5 and while climbing stairs he saw Nandini he stopped so fab4 too stopped. Manik put his finger on his lips indicating fab5 to keep quiet. They agreed and Manik told them to go he will join them soon. They left quietly and Manik came at the side of the stairs.     

Nandini was extremely busy in reading the notice that she wasn't aware of her surrounding. Manik was 2-3 steps down from the last step. He made sure that Nandini was busy and once he was confirm he took one side of her dhuppata pallu and very slowly and softly started pulling that.  

Nandini's dress   

Slowly slowly,slowly slowly he pulled out her entire dhuppata along with controlling his giggles. Nandini was still busy and Manik was waiting for her. As Nandini was unaware of all this she moved to go once she was done but soon she was stopped when she heard her name. Manik saw her gng so he climbed the remaining steps and called her.    

Ma-Nandini......   

Nandini turned around and saw Manik but next she saw was he showing her dhuppata to her. That's when her hand immediately touched her throat to confirm that it's her dhuppata. She looked back at him and saw him having mischievous smile on his face and understood that it is all his work. She took a step and said.    

Nan-do mera dhuppata wapas......   

Ma-haan toh le lo na.....kisne roka hai........   

Saying this he forwarded his hand to let her take it. Nandini holded that but before she could make her hold tight Manik pulled the dhuppata and when Nandini's hold got tight the other end of her dhuppata was in her hand.      Seeing him playing with it Nandini said.    

Nan-chodo mera dhuppata....        

Ma-haan toh yahan aa k le lo.     

Nandini took a step ahead and Manik took a step back. She frowned and again took a step and Manik moved back. Again a step ahead and Manik moved back. Like this they took 5-6 steps. At one point Manik was stopped by the classroom door where he walked purposely.

Once he reached there he pushed his body more on the door making it open. Nandini was so busy in getting her dhuppata back that she didn't notice his actions. Manik stopped at the flat opened door and Nandini was thinking that he had stopped moving so it will be easy for her to get it back.

In that thinking she walked fast and in a fraction of second Manik pulled her and closed the door pinning himself on the wall and her on him. Nandini realised their situation and realised that they are alone in room. Manik had already locked his hands on her waist locking her from cmg out of his embrace. Seeing him not making any releasing moment Nandini said.     

Nan-Manik chodo na.........   

Ma-kya Nandini 5 mins........tumhare pass 5 mins nhi hai mere liye.     

Saying this he left her and before Nandini could react Manik put her dhuppata around her waist and pulled her near

And tied the ends of dhupatta on his back.   

Manik moved her hair back on her ear and asked.   

Ma-kaha gayi thi....... ?

Nan-woh I wanted to buy some gold toh bas usse hi lene gayi thi........so isliye........    

Ma-toh muje kyu nhi bataya.........?

Nan-woh it's a surprise for you.......isliye......    

Ma-aacha........toh jo chahiye tha woh mil gaya..........?

Nan-hhhmm perfectly........    

Ma-good.........    

Saying this he placed a kiss on her cheek and Nandini closed her eyes feeling his warm lips on her skin. After that they talked a few mins and then left from there. Their college day ended soon and at night Manik came to her room to sleep peacefully.     

Next morning they got down to leave for college by their usual way. Cmg down Nandini saw Manik getting down from a ladder. Looking at it she frowned and asked.  

Nandini's dress   

Nan-yeh kaha se le aaye........?

Manik looked at the ladder and said.     

Ma-arey haan yeh toh mei tumhe batana bhul hi gaya.......yaad hai meine phone pe kaha tha that I got something unbelievable in Sweden.......    

Nandini recalled the scene and then after remembering it like crystal clear she bobbed her head so Manik further said.     

Ma-this is only that thing........    

Nan-ladder........ismei kya different hai.......?

Ma-that's the thing.......wait I will show you.....     

And then Manik in next second started closing the ladder. It was so smooth that he had to put that much only pressure that a person use to carry a 2 year old. Nandini was looking at him and soon Manik turned and showed her the ladder which was now folded in a kids folding chair. It folded into last extend. Showing that Manik said.      

Ma-can you believe it mei isse apne suitcase mei dal k laya tha.......it's so compact.......and very safe to climb your balcony.    

Nan-hadh hai.........   

Manik didn't bother on her words and hide the ladder at the corner of her house where nobody enters as it is a very narrow place. Doing all that they headed to college. Their half day of college was good. Around lunch time Manik was heading to meet Nandini and soon he found her walking towards him but she had a CCD coffee glass.

Nandini too saw him and headed more fast towards him. They met at one point and Nandini was licking her upper lips. Done with that Manik asked her.     

Ma-kaha gayi thi tum........?

Nan-woh ek teacher aaj absent hai so unka lecture free tha.......tum jamming mei busy the and i wished to have coffee........toh I just got down to get it........ccd naya khula hai na niche isliye.........    

Saying that she offered her coffee glass and Manik took it. He drank from it and Nandini said.     

Nan-aachi hai na........muje toh bahut aachi lagi.......    

Ma-hhhhmm.......   

Their day ended. Few days passed and it was their normal college lunch break. Nandini was waiting for Manik and soon he arrived. They exchanged greetings and then talked a little. Nandini then gave him a rectangular box which had a jeweller's name.      

Ma-yeh kya hai........?

Nan-arey meine woh chain banane ka order diya tha na...........I just got it so here it is.......    

Ma-haan toh yeh toh tumhara hai na.......why you gvg it to me........    

Nan-arey baba........meine bola tha na that it's a kind of surprise for you isliye........     

Ma-ohhh.......    

Nan-kholo na.......   

Manik opened it and smiled brightly. It was a simple golden chain but what was important was its locket which was capital "M". Manik removed that and bought it exactly parallel to his face.     

Seeing his smile Nandini was happy that he liked it. After a brief moment she said.     

Nan-kaisa laga........?

Ma-beautiful.........   

Nan-hai na........ab muje pehnao.........    

Saying this she turned facing her back to him and took all her hair at one side. Manik kept the box and opened the chain. He put it around her neck and then tied it.     

Nandini straighten her hair and turn back to him. Manik couldn't move his eyes from her neck as the chain was looking very beautiful on her plus it was the initial of his name which was cherry on the cake.   

Anyways that day too passed and again a week was over getting them more closer. Today fab5 received a call from Khurrana's manager that they are ready to record the songs and launch them next week time.     

Well it's been 6 months now from Khurrana's office fire accident. This 6 months have changed many thing among all of them. Anyways cmg back fab5 were happy that now they will be officially launched. Manik shared the news to Nandini and she too was happy.      

Next few days fab5 were busy with final practice and meeting with Khurrana. Than they recorded the song. Khurrana did a photo shoot in all they were completely busy from the past 2 weeks. Their launch date was finalised to be after 2 weeks and they all were happy as their life was on track and now running at a smooth speed.     

Today at college Manik again met Nandini and he told her abt his busy schedule. It's not that he didn't meet or talked to her abt his day routine but today he was free till one week and he was spending quality time with her. After talking abt here and there Manik told her.     

Ma-aacha listen meine ek designer k pass se appointment liya hai for you........so we have to go there.    

Nan-designer kyu.......?

Ma-arey I want to make a dress for you toh measurement toh lagega hi na.........tum kya chahti ho k mei aise tumhare ek ek body part pe dhyan se nazar dalu and andaze se measurement bata do.........ashlil aurat........     

Nandini slapped his back after hearing him and said.     

Nan-shut up Manik.........    

Manik giggled seeing her irritated face and said.      

Ma-tmrw mrng we have to go I will pick you up okay.      

They say ended and next morning Manik picked up Nandini and drove directly to the designer's boutique. Reaching there they entered and the designer met Manik. They shook hands and then she lead their way.    

After talking formally they started their work. Nandini was standing a few distance away and Manik was sitting. The designer got the measure tape and started her work along with noting her measurements.    

Done with it Manik told the designer that he will come later at evening to select the colour, design and cloth material. The designer agreed and Manan left from there.     

They attended their college and then next 2-3 days passed in jiffy. Nandini's dress was ready and Manik was ready for his surprise. Last night he came at her place and after cuddling to sleep they slept.     

Unlike usual days today Nandini woke up alone and looked around and concluded that Manik have left her place but the gifts placed there caught her attention she came over there and picked up the greeting card. She opened it and read.   

Get ready to live the most momerable day of your life.........my driver is waiting for you down. Take you time and get ready. He will get you to me.......aaj ka din hamare naam hai so let's start this. Be ready like a queen i m waiting to see you in that dress.      

Reading the note Nandini blushed and then knowing what's going to happen she started jumping on her place out of excitement, dancing all around. Taking her towel she rushed in her restroom like a train and then in an hour she was out clad in her dress.

She wiped her hair and sat on her dressing to complete her look with make up and earrings that Manik have sensed for her along with the footwear. She came down with her clutch and bid bye to Chachi who knew where she is gng.     

Manik had to come college coz he had a very tiny work over there. He entered the jam room and cabir whistled looking at his attire.      

C-shadi hai teri.......aise saj dhaj k aaya hai......    

Manik rubbed his finger at one corner of his lips and said controlling the happiness on his face.     

Ma-aaj mei Nandini ko propose krne wala ho..........I m going with her.......on a date.....    

Hearing that fab4 just threw themselves on Manik to hug him as they were happy in his happiness. They talked a little and they were interrupted when Manik's phone rang. It was from his driver to inform him that they have reached college.     

Nandini was very confused seeing college but soon Manik came and opened the back seat door where Nandini was sitting. He gave her his hand and Nandini holded his hand. Manik pulled her and Nandini came out. Manik looked at her completely and he realised that there is no women beautiful as beautiful as Nandini. Looking at the angle Manik's heart was satisfied.      

Manik made her sit on the passenger seat and took the key from the driver and sat in the car. He turned to her and said.    

Ma-turn around.......    

Nan-hain?    

Ma-arey baba turn around......   

Saying that he moved her back a little as a gesture to turn and Nandini turned around. Soon she felt darkness in front of her eyes as Manik was blind folding her. Touching the black silk cloth Nandini asked.    

Nan-yeh kya kr rhe ho.......?

Ma-surprise hai na isliye.......    

He was done with tying so said.    

Ma-now relax and wait your wait is going to be worth it......     

Saying this he started the car and left the college premises with a racing heart coz Manik was very much curious to see her reaction on his date decoration.   

How was it do tell me.....bye.
