MANAN - Cloud with a Silver Lining

14-Perfection : A reality or myth

Four days had passed, four days since they first met, four days of absolute fun, four days of sharing the pain and miseries, four days of reliving the old memories.

It was Wednesday noon, everyone was still staying at Nandini's place. They had either taken an off from their work or opted for work from home in case of urgencies for they had realized that this time together was more important than anything else. They knew it was high time that nothing but their inter personal relationship tops the priority list and that was exactly what they focused on. In between, on Abhimanyu's insistence, they also filled him regarding the events that took place in the past. Right now, post lunch they were busy telling him about how Dhruv and Alya confessed their love to each other.

................Flashback starts (multiple POV's)..............

Nandini 

It was May 2009, we all had gone to Goa for a weekend trip after finishing our semesters. I was with Fab 5 and Navya for more than year now and by now I had crossed the line from being just an acquaintance to friend. Anyways, after reaching Goa we girls were relaxing in Alya and Mukti's room when Mukti decided to play a game "One Word that pops in your mind when I say...."wherein she would say a word and we need to speak the first word/thing/name that comes to our mind when we hear the word. Okay so now I do not remember who was first or last and I don't even remember anyone's answers except Alya's. Infact her words and replies are crystal clear in my memory. So here it goes

Mukti – Cloud

Alya – Rain

Mukti – Sea

Alya – Beach

Navya – Traffic

Alya – Annoying, but seriously Navya Traffic....??

Navya - Ok Ok...Passion

Alya – Music

Navya – Friends

Alya – Fab5

Me – Best Friend

Alya – Mukti

Me – Brother

Alya – Cabir

Me – Crush

Alya – Manik

Me – Love

Alya – Dhruv..

Mukti – Life....Wait what...what did you just say...Love...Dhruv...!!...Seriously Alya...When did this happen..why didn't you tell me...Since When...??

Alya – Since a long time now..I don't remember

Mukti – How can you hide it from me Alya..I take offense to it

Me and Navya were busy admiring their bond..finally Navya cleared her throat to gain their attention and I spoke

Me – Alya, the question now is does Dhruv know...??

Alya – No Nandini...He doesn't know...in fact I don't even know if he has the same feelings for me or not..??

Navya – Really Alya...I didn't know you are blind...Dhruv loves you...everyone can see it..I am surprised you have a doubt on that..

Mukti – Exactly, I mean I used to think you do not have feelings for him, I was always sure about his feelings though

Alya – Really if he has such strong feelings why hasn't he proposed me yet..??
