[Ps: Sorry for bursting the hopes but not the awaited one]

"तू पसंद तो है मुझे, बस कहने से डरता हूं,
अकेले अकेले तुझे इश्क किया करता हु!"

"Bye Mimi!!"

"Bye Shona. And remember..."

"No Masti, No Sharat!" Anahita completed her mother's sentence before her.

(Masti- carelessness, Sharat/Shararat- Mischief)

Nandini smiled and gave a flying kiss to her daughter who went and climbed up on the van of their school which will take the kids to the park.

Soon the bus was out of Nandini's vision and she moved back towards the house where for now she was alone, as Ishita also went to hospital early in the morning. And although it was Monday, but it was a government holiday so she doesn't have college today.

For which she was quite thankful for. Because after her encounter with Manik last night, she wasn't sure what to do.

One part of her was feeling guilty for talking with him like that, or even thinking that he has some motives for his soft and kind behaviour.

One of the many things she has learned from life is Reading behind the lines. And as much as she has learnt from her observations, Manik is anything but fake or double faced.

But again observations can be proved wrong. Not everytime your sixth sense works. Generally when you think someone is fighting for you, with you, they choose to stab your back. And there is no worst feeling then seeing a person you trusted so blindly, breaking that trust with a venomous smile and no regret.

She sighed and took a seat on the couch. She was disturbed with her thoughts which were all mess. How just one incident can change your life, your thoughts , your whole existence so drastically. She closed her eyes and leaned back on the sofa and some memories flashed through her mind.

हो चेहरा है या चाँद खिला है
ज़ुल्फ़ घनेरी शाम है क्या
सागर जैसी आँखों वाली
यह तो बता तेरा नाम है क्या

(is it your face, or the moon itself shining,
is it your hair, or a dark evening itself?
O one with eyes (deep) like the sea,
at least tell me what your name is.)

"Hey!! You sang so well." The guy in front of her smiled and bowed his head.

"Thank you."
