Nandini had entered someone's room to lock the windows. While going out of the room, her eyes stuck on the study table. She noticed a pink water bottle there decorated with fairy lights.

"Why does this bottle seem so familiar?" She asked herself, being confused with a frown covering her forehead still staring at the bottle keenly. "Yes! It's the same bottle which I had given to that bitter face and didn't take it back. What's this doing here that too like this?" Then she looked around the room carefully. "By any chance, is it Manik's......"

She didn't even finish the line before Manik walked into the room. He had seen Nandini coming up. He found it to be the perfect chance to talk to her. He asked Vihan to take care so that no one came upstairs and he ran to talk to Nandini.

Manik noticed the water bottle in Nandini's hand. "What're you doing with this? Keep it back there."

Nandini frowned. "But it's mine!"

"Yes, it was but now it's mine. What're you doing here? It's my room." His voice sounded stern even though he didn't wish to speak that way.

Nandini looked into Manik's eyes and he couldn't take that. He hurriedly looked away from her.

"Sorry! I didn't know it's your room. I just came to close the windows. I was leaving anyway." Nandini spoke in a low tone.

She kept the bottle with a thud and was about to leave.

"Shit! I made her angrier. Manik Roy, why're you so rude?" He scolded himself mentally and hurriedly turned back. "Nandini, wait...." He called her from behind.

But she didn't stop. He ran behind her and stopped her holding her hand from behind. He turned her to face him. Nandini slowly raised her face and looked at Manik.

"Nandini, I didn't want to say that. I know the bottle is yours but I...."

"Leave my hand." Nandini cut him in between.

Manik freed her hand from his hold and Nandini was about to leave again.

"Nandini..."

She turned back but again he couldn't say anything. So, she turned back to go.

"Nandini, please. One second!"

"Do you want to say something?" Nandini raised her eyebrows. "Everyone is in the hall. It won't look good, if I'm missing from there for so long."

"No, actually I..."

"You what?"

"Actually...."

"I'm going down."

"I'm sorry. That day I.... I shouldn't have held you like that and applied the medicine. Also I shouldn't have spoken to you like this today." He stopped for a few seconds before continuing. "You can come to my room anytime. I won't mind."

Nandini looked at him in surprise. She was surely amused by his gestures. Till now she had always seen boys trying to find ways to touch a girl and he was, he was saying sorry when he was not even at fault.

"Aah!" She didn't know what to reply.

Manik looked at her in confusion. "What aah?"
