all of us were sitting around the fire once we were done with our food , as manik played his guitar ,
Cabir : manik yaar why don't you sing something
Soha : han manik please , I am dying to hear you sing
" ok I wont lie but the way she said it , I was actually felt a bit insecure *
Manik : ok ..ok
*and he started singing *
Juki teri palkon mein mil jaaye mujhe panaah
Palkein gire aasu bhari reh jaaye mere nishaan
*he looked at nandini*
Tute dil ki mat kar tu fikar mere humnava
Pyaar doon tujhko is kadar
Reh jaaye mere nishaan
*his eyes fixed on nandini as she blushed harder and harder*
Mere nishaan..mere nishaan...
Mere nishaan..mere nishaan...
Mere nishaan..
..........................
khaak mein mil jaun main Jasie ki ek lamha
A lag ja sine say ban ja mera rahnuma
Dekhta hun sapne tere sun le meri jane ja
khuwabb ye sach ho jaye ager khuda ho mehrban
*I looked at soha who couldn't get her eyes of manik*
Mere nishaan..mere nishaan...
Mere nishaan..mere nishaan...
Mere nishaan..mere nishaan...
Mere nishaan..mere nishaan
* manik winked at me and told me to look at cabir through his eyes , I saw him staring at navya as manik sang , he looked at her with love in his eyes but our madhubala was too lost as her eyes were closed enjoying manik's voice*
Sajde main tere sar jhukta bus
chahat ki hai ye dastan.........
*Aliya rested her head on dhruv's shoulder , while manik and I had an eye lock , navya looked at cabbir as he quickly turned his head but navya knew so she smiled at him *
Rooth gaya mera rub jo mujh say
to mita de vo mere nishaan.....
Mere nishaan..mere nishaan...
Mere nishaan..mere nishaan...
Mere nishaan..mere nishaan
he ended the song and it was all love in the air , one by one everyone went and slept on the beds in front of the dhaba , everyone was sleeping except me I just sat at the plank of the wood and stared at the stars and the fire i sat rubbing my hands and shoulders while i saw maniks jacket on me and i hugged it as if it was manik
* i heard manik's sleepy voice from behind *
M : nandini tum yahan kya kar rahi ho , tum soi nahi ab tak * as he came and sat down beside me*
N : kuch nahi , its nice to just you know sit and watch these flames and stars
M : hmm
* i rubbed my palms cuz it was getting colder and colder and manik pulled me closer wrrpping me in his arms *
M : who its cold na , isi liye
N : han tumhare paas aur koi reason thori hai , ur holding me cuz its cold , that's it * i smirked at him *
M : h.....ha...han aur nahi toh kya , tumhe kuch aur laga
N : nahi mujhe kuch nahi laga
*we both burst out in laughter , i rested my head on his shoulder and we both hummed " tum hi ho" , i didn't realize when i was half asleep in his warmth comfortably snuggling in his arms and he smiled at me and picked me up and placed me on a bed and covered me with his jacket and kissed my temple as he whispered "goodnight beautiful" in my ears , as i smiled at his words as he lay in his bed a little distant from me *
