"nandini this is your responsibility... I don't know what you will do and how.. I will just give you one month's time.." he said and Nandini's eyes widened in shock"Aru sir...one month... it is highly impossible... he is THE MANIK MALHOTRA... And...im sorry.." and shook her head in a No
"But nandu think about the TRP's of our channel.. they will definitely reach Himalayas..." and looked at her with loads of hope. Nandini thought for a while and said
"But Aru how will I reach him..?" the other person smirked and said "Nandu im your boss.. don't you know that I don't have informers when you can have yours... I know that Cabir and Dhruv of that band are a good friend of yours.. isn't that enough to get till Manik..?" and Nandini wiped the sweat formed on her forehead.
*******************
The crowd was going mad and crazy hearing the announcement that HE would be here in no time. All the press reporters and the other media people were seated in the front line as the interview was being given on their special request but one among the persons sitting between the super excited people was getting nervous with each passing second. She was continuously wiping the sweat on her forehead and biting her nails to control her anxiety and to add more anxiety to her nervousness HE came along with his band and occupied the stage and the crowd was hooting his name only two names were being heard in that massively large stadium..
"FAB 5... FAB 5...FAB 5..." and "MANIK...MANIK,...MANIK...!!!!!!! "
A smirk was clear on his face and he was looking only in one direction making HER more and more nervous and she thought that she would faint any moment.
"hello Mumbai...!!!" manik said taking the mike and again the crowd was dancing and jumping in joy as it was the first time in history for THE MANIK MALHOTRA to attend a conference that too in the presence of all his fans.
"you can proceed and ask me what ever you want to know about me.. jee bhar kae pucho(ask me to your hearts content).. pata nahi mai phir kab milunga aap sab logon ko...(dont know when will I meet you all next time)" Manik said and winked looking at the group of reporters sitting in the special seating arrangements made and all laughed at his comment.
Manik was quietly answering all the questions asked by them which was not so him but everyone present in the ground was happy to their fullest as Manik for the first time came to face them and was actually answering their all questions.. of course some answers which he said had some hidden meaning which they didn't intend to cross query as they were afraid of his reaction. Finally the question came which made HER blood dry in her veins
"sir we got to know that you are engaged... sir can we please know who is the lucky girl.. please sir.." one of the reporter said and Manik's smirk grew wider and he replied
"of course you have all the rights to know who she is.." hearing which Cabir and Dhruv looked at each other and slapped their foreheads which was not noticed by anyone as everyone's focus was fixed on Manik and Manik continued "actually wait I will introduce her to all of you.. she is right here.. gimme a sec.." and got up from his seat and SHE just wanted to run away and hide somewhere where he could not find her.
SHE clutched the chair's handle in which she was sitting as she observed that he was walking in her direction only. The total crowds gaze was fixed on him as he walked into the row where reporters were sitting. Manik came and stood in front of HER and said "can you please do the honours of coming with me on to the stage .." and forwarded his hand towards her and she nodded a NO nervously not meeting his eyes.
He bent a little further to her ears and said "come with me.. don't make me drag you onto the stage..." and that was the moment she looked at his face and their eyes met. He slowly rubbed his cheek with hers and with other hand wiped the sweat on her fore head and took her hand into his as she was still resisting to hold his hand and made her stand and brought her to the stage and she quietly followed him totally blank and numb to react.
The crowd started whispering when Manik again took the mike and said "so people she is my fiance Miss Nandini Murthy... we are engaged and are going to get married in 15 days.." and looked at Nandini and winked who was looking at him with a totally shocked face. He lifted her hand and kissed her knuckles and that was the moment she saw a ring in her finger and another shock...!!! He showed her hand which had a ring and his hand too with a similar ring (probably they were couple rings ) and said
"these are our engagement's proof.." and pulled her towards him holding her waist tightly.
