Nandini was in deep slumber with a big smile on her face. Sun rays fell upon her face forcing her to open her eyes. She wake up and joined her hand to pray from God. After praying she closed her eyes for a minute and the happenings of last night came to her mind making her smile to her fullest.

Quickly getting up from her bed she went to have a shower to quick start her day. After having a shower she started to get ready for her school.

In hall, Raman is reading news paper while ishita is busy preparing breakfast.

"Raman please wake Nandini up. She has school today, she will be late this way." Said ishita from kitchen.

"Let it be ishu. Let her sleep today. She will take holiday." Said Raman.

Nandini after getting ready reach living room where Raman was sitting. She silently went  and hugged him from behind.

"Good morning dad." She said happily.

"Good morning my princess." said raman bringing her in front of him and kissing her forehead.

"Good morning mumma" said nandini loudly to her mother who was working in kitchen. Listening her ishita came out.

"Good morning but how come my baby kumbhkaran wake up on her own today." asked ishita while teasing her.

"Dad see mom is making fun of me." said nandini to which raman fake scolded ishita, "Ishu don't tease my princess." to which ishita glared him back.

"Princess take holiday today, I also will not go to office. We will spend some father daughter time." said raman.

Listening him nandini thought, "Dad wants me to spend time with him but I want to meet manik also. Its not like  I don't want to be with dad but I also want to be with manik. What should I do now?".

"What happened princess where did you got lost?" asked raman.

"Nothing Dad. But..  Yes Today i am having an important class in school which I can't afford to miss. So I can't take holiday." said nandini thinking of an excuse.

"Sorry bhagwan ji i am lying to dad, but I really want to meet manik today. Forgive me please." thought nandini.

"It's ok princess. Lets do one thing, you go to school and in afternoon I will pick you up and then we both will go to your favourite restaurant to have lunch. What say?" asked raman telling his plan.

"Yes dad it sounds great." said nandini happily after listening raman.

"If you both are done with your planning let me remind you that your princess is getting late for school." said ishita.

"Oh shit. I will just go to my room and bring my school bag." said nandini running upstairs.

"Nandini slow." said ishita loudly from behind.

Nandini after getting her school bag and lunch went to malhotra mansion.

Outside Malhotra Mansion

"Nandu came here." said Mukti seeing Nandini.

"Hi Muku, you already here." said nandini going towards her.

They both were standing outside the car waiting for Manik and Cabir.

"Nandu i am really tensed. Today is social science test and I am reading and everything forgetting again and again." said Mukti making crying face.

Listening this Nandini got shocked.

"What today is test? Oh Shit, I totally forgot about it. What will I do now. Oh my god i will get fail." said Nandini panicking.

"Who will get fail?" came voice from behind.

"Ok Ok Cool down, relax. I just asked." said Manik.

"So how's the preparation guys. All done" asked Manik.

"Yes bhai almost." said Mukti.

"Bhai let's go we are getting late" said cabir who came running to the car and sat in the passenger seat.

"All thanks to you." said Manik.

Mukti, nandini and manik also settled in the car. Nandini was sitting between manik and mukti.

Driver starts the car and Nandini took her book out from bag and starts studying for the test.

Manik saw this and hold her hand. Nandini feeling the touch saw towards him.

He asked what by raising his eyebrows. She smiled and nodded her head in no gesturing nothing.

School

Driver stopped the car as they reached the school. Cabir and Mukti came out of the car.

Nandini was also stepping out of the car when Manik held her hand.

"I want to talk to you." said Manik to which Nandini said, "Okay, I will just come."

Nandini and Manik also came out of the car.

Cabir went to his class in hurry as he is having an extra class.

"Nandu let's go. Bhai we are going, will meet you in lunch.. Bye" Mukti said dragging Nandini along.

After covering some distance nandini stopped and said in loud voice, "Oh shit". "What happened nandu?" asked Mukti being startled of her sudden shout.

"I forgot my notebook in the car. You go to class, I will just bring my notebook." said Nandini walking back without hearing Mukti's reply.

Nandini reach parking where Manik was standing. She went to him.

"What happened Manik? What you wanted to talk." She asked.

Manik held her hand and took her to corner where no one can see them.

"You tell me, what happened to you, why were you looking so tensed back in the car."  asked Manik.

"Nothing manik. Its nothing." said nandini.

"Out with the truth now Nandini. Anybody looking at your face can say that you're lying." Said Manik to which Nandini looks down.

Manik hols her chin and moves her face upwards, "Nandu tell me, what happened." he asked softly.

"I am having social science test today and I forgot about it. Now I will get low marks. Manik please don't get upset from me. I promise I will score good in next one." She said not wanting to upset him.
