7. The Photoshoot (Part 2)

NANDINI'S P.O.V.

So, we both got in front of the camera. I was feeling very nervous. I have never felt this nervous ever! I mean, I have danced on stage in competitions and have even won Ms. Ballet Manhattan, but I did not feel this nervous that time.

"Okay so Manik and Nandini, you both first start with---" said the photographer when I said, "How much time do we have?"

"At the max half an hour."

"Thanks."

And then the photoshoot began. First they took our individual photographs which were just amazing and to my surprise, I wasn't feeling nervous while my individual photographs were being clicked. Then we both again went to change and now, we had to pose together.

At first I was a bit nervous and was not able to give a proper expression when Manik whispered, "Nandu, relax. You are doing amazing. Just look into my eyes. Good. Very good." he said and I was getting lost in his eyes.

We both sat on a sofa staring into each other's eyes and I completely forgot about the camera part. It was just him and me.

I don't even remember whether I did a pose or not as I couldn't think of anything else except for his eyes.

"THANK YOU!" shouted the photographer, "Yours was my personal best." he said and I woke up from my thoughts.

I realised that I was sitting next to Manik and he was still looking into my eyes and I have hugged him. We both were looking into each other's eyes and our faces were just two to three centimetres apart.

I blinked and soon Manik too blinked.

A red colour flushed on mine as well as Manik's cheeks and we both quickly got up and went to change.

After that, we both went to canteen together.

Though we were both too quite.

We didn't even speak a word.

At the canteen, we saw Cabir, Mukti and bhai waiting for us.

"So, how did the photoshoot went?" asked bhai.

"Good." we both answered hurriedly.

"Just good?" asked Mukti.

"Ya, just good. Any prob?" I asked.

"Nope." said Mukti with her hands half raised with swag all over her face.

"Hey guys! They have send me the posters. You know, I have the submission ID... Anyways! Wao! You guys did amazing! Just look at your posters!" (A/N - One as the banner for previous chapter and one as the banner at the side for this chapter.) Said Cabir.

"Guys! Your ship is working! In not more than one minute, I have got sixteen likes on Facebook, twenty seven on Insta and fourteen on Twitter! You guys have a great chance to win!" said Cabir excitedly.

I smiled and I know that even Manik did.
