It was a pleasant day, He was roaming around the corridor of the college going towards the canteen, when he spotted HER.

She was smart, beautiful and kind.

Brave, strong and courageous when facing fighting against wrong doings... never giving up. And sweet, selfless, loving, caring for her friends and loved ones.

He was very happy to see her coming towards his direction . She seemed so carefree, cheerful and happy, It made him happy too. Until he saw who was with her. Because, holding her soft hand gently and smiling happily and talking with her was none other than HE... THE MANIK MALHOTRA and not him ARYAMAN KHURANA.

And just like that all the happy feelings vanished in a blink of an eye leaving his already shattered heart to break a little bit more than yesterday as he looked on at the couple who smiled at him when they saw him and then continued on their way.

Nandini looked so happy and at peace.

But she wasn't with him, not by his side. It was not him who was making her smile and happy, She was not his... Not HIS PRINCESS.

The truth and reality was always the same... It never changed, ARYAMAN KHURANA loves NANDINI MURTHY.

But it was also true, that NANDINI MURTHY has given her heart and soul to MANIK MALHOTRA.

-*-*-

He loved everything about her.

He loved the way her soft pink lips tugged upwards and formed into the most beautiful enchanting smile he has ever seen.

He loved the way her long straight silky hairs sway gently with the air.

He loved it when her big doe-eyes sparkled and shined brightly, when she got excited like a kid.

But he felt jealous and hated it when she took Manik's name. The joy, passion and love filled in her sweet voice was always for Manik. And no matter how much he hated it and wanted it to change... Wanted to be his name, it was always going to be that same way.

The warmth she has... he could only feel it as a friend in a friendly hug from her and nothing more than that.

He wanted to hold her tight and lock her in his arms. But she was already having her head rested on someone else's chest.

He wanted to spend his every day, minute, second... Every waking and sleeping hours with her. He wanted to shower her with his affection, care and love. But she already has devoted her whole life to someone else.

He wanted to take her away from herself, and attach her forever with him. But she was always lost in the thoughts of someone else.

His heart only prayed and desired her. He just wanted her to listen only his heartbeats and realize that every beat his heart skipped was because of her... But she was already busy listening to someone else's heartbeat which gives solace to her.

He wanted to cross his every path with her. But her feet was always alongside of someone else's.

She was his dream, and she was his reality. But when he always sees her with Manik, his dreams fades and the real reality crashes in front of him.

Nandini and Manik. He needed to get it in his head. He repeated it again and again.

Nandini and Manik, Nandini and Manik , Nandini and Manik, Nandini and Aryaman , Nandini and Aryaman , Nandini and Arya-!

He loved her name with his more than with Manik's.

It was his and only his fault that he fell in love with Her . The innocent, bubbly, cute, friendly Nandini that everyone adored and loved.

She loved everyone. She loved Him... Aryaman too, but only as a good friend.

He wanted his image in Nandini's expressive beautiful eyes when someone tried to find him. But her eyes always shined, twinkled brightly with only Manik's face.

He wanted to be her rescuer. He wanted to be her knight in shining armor. He wanted to be her prince charming.

But he could never be that PRINCE , because his PRINCESS was with her DREAM MAN... HER MONSTER living happily in another castle .

He could only watch Her, protect her, love her from the sideline.

She was a princess, perfect in every way. But she wasn't HIS PRINCESS ... She was HIS STAR... Because she only loved HIM. And He Aryaman wasn't HIM.

                            The End.
