Nandini's P.O.V.
I quickly rushed to the place where I am sure to find Manik, since it has been one hour before that he messaged me.
While walking, I was getting mentally prepared to tell him what all happened. I mean, I was going to tell him that Rishab and Dhruv saw each other and both of their attacks triggered.
I know that he would be damm heart broken for not being there with his buddy when he needed to be... And I am sure that as soon as I tell him about that, he would just...
He would just...
He would just walk away from me straight to Dhruv. You know, he do value me, but he values Dhruv more.
But it is okay. Yes, it really is. I will never let his made in heaven friendship stain. I don't care even if he walks away... If his friendship makes him more happy than I do, then, I am happy for him.
I saw a lonely tear dropping down my cheek. I quickly wiped it and saw that place.
I already fallen-for-him heart falled even more.
He decorated everything!
Wait a minute. This is the stuff from my room.
He broke into my room! Oh, this boy!
But then, this all looks so perfect. This is so sweet of him.
As I went towards him smiling like a little kid, my smile even grew larger, occupying the space that my cheeks used to live on.
You can all do 'aww!' since he was sleeping! Oh, he was looking so cute sleeping. His perfect orbs were right now resting and I must not say this, but this man just cuddled into the bouquet I assume he bought for me! Aw! He looks so cute doing that.
Oh, it was so rude of me to not to describe you his effort and hard work. Well, the place was bordered with silver fairy lights and in between the bricks' spaces laid the sweetest cakes, tomatoes! The ground was covered with rose petals and he had a bouquet of lilies with roses which he was using as a pillow to rest his gorgeously carved face. He used the different scientific things that I used to decorate my room but he probably stole them all to keep them here.
But I think that I ignored all of this when I saw him sleeping like a baby. He wore a charming white shirt with blue jeans.
I went and sat next to him and in no time, I found myself smiling and playing with his hair. He must have got tired and bored...
I didn't wake him up. I just stared him. Though his eyes were closed, I felt like I was getting lost in his eyes. I bent down to kiss him on his forehead and as soon as I did so, he smiled.
He just woke up.
He slowly opened his eyes and said, "Is it a dream?"
"Manik, good morning." I said.
He smiled.
He got up and said awkwardly handing me the bouquet, "Um.. This is for you."
I took it and said, "Manik, you are looking redder than the tomatoes!"
He chuckled.
"Manik, I have something important to tell you. You know, when I was..." he cut me by keeping his finger on my lips and saying, "Ssh... First watch this."
He then pointed towards the evening sky when he clicked some kind of button and wao!
A lot, I mean, a lot of fireflies just came out of nowhere! It looked so beautiful.
I was just lost.
Manik's P.O.V.
She was looking so cute smiling like a child seeing the fireflies coming out of the remote controlled box.
She was shining brighter than all of the fireflies.
"Wao Manik! You are the best!" she said and hugged me with enthusiasm. I sometimes doubt her age.
"Hey, Nandini, there is more to watch." I said with a half smirk.
She just released myself from the hug and jumped and asked, "WHAT!" she was literally laughing. Okay, now I don't doubt her age. I am sure that she is not eighteen. But she was looking so cute doing so.
"Just wait..." I said and pressed the other button on the remote when some specific fairy lights turned red and flashed, 'I ♥ U'. She was looking even more happy.
Then, after she hugged me and praised me like a child to whom I gave chocolate, we both laid down on the rose petals looking at the sky.
"Nandu, you know, I always used to think that nothing can be more shiner than stars. And then one day, I found you." I said, "And then I realised that those people who are beautiful from within shine brighter than stars and don't need a spotlight to shine."
She knitted our hands saying nothing.
We laid in that position for about the next fifteen minutes when she suddenly got up and said, "Manik, I want to tell you something very important. Manik, switch on your phone."
She commanded.
I got up and took out my phone from my pocket. I switched it on to find seventy eight missed calls from Love, Jenny, Aaliya, Cabir, Mukti and Aaryaman.
I froze.
"But what happened!?!" I asked, puzzled.
"Manik... Dhruv and Rishab saw each other and..." I cut her since I understood what she said and said, "How is he now!?! Shit! I curse myself! I need to go." I said getting up on my feet.
"Ya Manik, you go. But Jenny handled him. Still, you go. He needs you." she said.
I am so happy that she understands me. I really am. And this is one of those thousand reasons why I love her so much.
