Its been a month that I chanced upon the magical world of Manik and Nandini. It's such a pity that the personal equations between the cast turned so sour that an epic story of love and friendship had to untimely die out. However, I feel they (Manik...
'Fireflies.....A jar of fireflies...he catches it as they collide and she drops her jar of fireflies.....music...the guitar...he strumming the chords as they happily jam... she..falling off a cliff...holding on to him for dear life...She... holding his hand...waltzing away in twirls amidst a sea of stunned onlookers.....stars...a sky full of stars...she resting against him, lying by his side under a sky full of stars...rain...unseasonal rain dousing a valley of glittering lights...he holding away one single lamp...she running up to him...one earnest embrace and their lips meet, mimicking their burning bodies...
Hugs...kisses...smiles..tears..she..him...them..music..stars..fireflies and them again..'
Manik opened his eye with a jerk as a stream of warm sunlight poured through the window. He was lying alone on her tiny bed.

He rubbed his eyes. Was that a dream in monochrome of two silhouettes, his and her? Wow! It was so beautiful and it felt so real, like flashes of a life he had lived, but of course he hadn't. He grinned. They say morning dreams often come true. He will do it, turn them into reality with her, for her, for them. But where was she?
Then realization hit him. She had been so sick all through the night and he had held her close to his chest. Where had she gone? Was she still just as sick?
He got up and started looking for her. She wasn't there in the bedroom or the washroom, not even in the living room.
"Goodmorning Manik!" There, he saw her in the kitchen.

He stopped to take a closer look at her. Fresh, like the morning dew, she was brimming with joy. There were no traces of pain on her face which was as pretty as a virgin rose kissed by the rain. Was this the same girl he had brought from the hospital?
"Goodmorning Nandini, how are you feeling now?"
"Awesome!!!" She just couldn't stop smiling.
"How bad is the pain?"
"What pain? The night took it all away from me"
Manik wondered if he had missed this point 'A night can take away all the pain'. Damn! these sites always had half baked, improperly researched facts. But if you were a guy, you HAD to resort to them because no one else has ever taught you and your girl is too shy to bring these up. He was miffed but one look at her and he couldn't keep up the anger for long. She should always smile :)
