Manik's eyes were constantly searching for nandhini .. This was noticed by Cabir..

Cabir: manikkkkk...she won't be here ..all participants are at the back stage ...so stop searching... Shell be here shortly

Manik gave him a whatever look and looked towards the stage as the programme started...first two performance was some team from 1st year ...
Its was time for nandhini's performance .. She entered the stage and took her seat ..she was followed by navya and aryaman .... Once nandhu took her seat. .she closed her eyes and prayed for 2secs and then opened her eyes ..so soon as she opened her eyes met manik's ..

Manik's POV
After she opened her eyes ...first thing she saw was me ....her eyes met mine and she stopped .. I wanted her to feel comfortable and not be afraid ..so i gave her a smile and an assuring nod .. Then I thought might be I overreacted. What will she think?? ...will she just ignore ??within seconds my mind posed so many questions. ...but as she saw my assuring nod ....she smiled confidently .. I was on happy she responded me ... That was for the first time .. I felt I was flying ...within minutes she started the song .. (Banarasiya from ranjanaa)
I was mesmarised by her voice .. Her was of singing ...she was enjoying each and every line ..every word ....I felt soo content listing to her ....her eyes were dancing .. The performance was magical ...I had never had any interest in Indian classical fusion ...but she made me fall...I didn't realise when the song got over .. There were loud cheering all over ....everyone were hooting .. I saw her...she saw me ...I smiled at her contently . she responded with equal Happiness...then she bowed at everyone and then left....
