Nandini left from there.
Nav: areh isseh kya hua
fab5 just gave a 'I don't know' look.

Nandini was just walking across the corridor thinking about her encounter with manik before. She came into an empty room and say down , looking up,
Na: aiyappa, manik sach kaha, 😓 meri vaja seh Sab khatam hui. I don't even think I deserve to be with him. (Crying) I should just get rid of this hope. There is no hope. (Sobbing)
Nandini was still sobbing looking down and she didn't notice that manik had came in and heard her.
Ma: Nandini?
Nandini looked up and she still couldn't face him. She looked back down and stood up walking away. Manik had caught her hand and she just stood there facing her back towards him.
Ma: tumne lunch kiya?
He was worried for her.
Na: .. Erm woh nay..
Ma: what! Nandini Cmon man don't be careless. Challo mere saath
He took her to the canteen and got a sandwich for her. He sat Infront of her and asked her to eat. Nandini still looking down hasn't said anything. Manik was getting impatient. Her health was important to him.
Ma: acha Nandini, listen.. Look at me
He held her chin to look at him
.. " tumhe hope peh give up kiya?
Nandini looked at him in shock.
Ma: ha woh Maine tumhara bhaat sunliya
Na: manik lets not talk about it. (Weak voice) Tum sahi kaha mere vaja seh Sab ... And she began to leave but manik had stopped her again. He pulled her to him and she came and sat on his lap. Nandini was shocked she looked around to see of anyone was looking and luckily it was only them in the canteen.
Na: manik choro...
She kept on trying to get out of his grip but his hold was tight.
Ma: kya bhat hai nandu, tumne itne easily give up kiya? Now this is not the Nandini I know, the Nandini I know never gives up.
Na: manik please mujhe choro, mujhe kaha Na main iss ka bareh me bhat nahi karni .. And she looked the other way
Ma: Nandini look at me
She looked at him.
Ma: Tumhara hope peh kyu give up kiya. Where is the Nandini I know who fights back.
Na: manik.. You were right it's all my fault. I don't deserve you. I should just go away from your life. You hate me nah, aur main tumhara hate nehi dekhsakhta. Mujhe hope ta but aur nai tumhe woh jo subha kaha nah wo sach hai. It's all my fault, all my fault.. (She was crying now with her head on Maniks chest) .. sorry, it's all my fault.
Manik felt bad, he couldn't see her cry.
Ma: Nandini listen stop crying. Aur about your hope, toh hope hai ... hamara beech. Tumhara hope jeet sakhta hai.
Nandini looked up at him and started at him with teary puffy red eyes.
Manik wiping her tears said,
Ma: don't give up. Hope hai aur ha agar Tum chaho hope win kareh toh pehle you need to be strong and healthy to fight back with me. So now khana khaloh. and promise me Tum everyday ontime khana khaogi
Na: (sobbing) promise
Manik and Nandini had an eyelock.
Ma: jante Ho Nandini looking into your eyes it's doesn't hurt that much anymore. Maybe I have hope too ?
Nandini just gave a weak smile.

Later Nandini realised that she was still sitting in Maniks lap.
Na: (getting up) sorry
She said looking down
Ma: it's okay now ab main jata hu .. Bye take care
After her left Nandini had the biggest smile on her face after ages. She was really happy.
Na: thank you thank you thank you soooo much aiyappaa

Manik was walking away smiling. Cabir saw him and started to tease him.
Ca: wah wah lakhta hai aj manan ke beech kuch hua. Tum bohot smile kariho manik
Ma: manan? What are you saying cabir
Ca: Manan, ma ki manik and nan ki Nandini. Itna bhi mushkil nahi ti
Manik just gave cabir the angry glare.
Ma: seriously cabir.
Ca: acha chor ye Sab aur challe music class pe
Ma: Haan chal
They both reached the music room and saw fab5 there and stood next to them.
Nandini and navya had just came in too. Nandini and manik had an eyelock. This was broken by cabir coughing as he had caught them.
they both then looked away. And went to their place.
The music teacher, raghav (not gay n inlove with cabir) came in.
R: okay guys Sab agaay. Okay aaj hum kuch mazah kareh. Right so I got a bowl of chits that has every students name on.

So you guys have a weeks time.
Manik had come first to pick up a chit and the name on the chit left him shocked happy all sorts..
R: Kon hai manik
Ma: Nandini ...
Nandini looked at him in shock.
Na: aiyyappaa main manik ke saath kaise gaungi. (Tension, biting her nails)
R: okay then Nandini and manik you both are a pair.
Manik and Nandini looked at each other then somewhere else
R: okay so next ...
Cabir came and picked up the chit and said
Ca: yeh kya hai mere kismat! Ajao madhubala ji
R: madhubala?
Ca: sorry, navya ji ajao
Navya was just shocked. She was scared what was going to happen with her.
Aaliya got dhruv and mukti had got a random boy.
R: okay so everyone's paired up. Okay then you can Practice today rest of the lesson and also you got a week time. May the best pair win.

Manik went upto Nandini
