** NANDINI **

I'm soo mad at him right now.. He is.. He is.. Urgghh...!! I can't even find a word to describe how big jerk he is..

How dare he ?? How dare he give me the same dress as Alya..??

What is his problem??

Why can't he just get over her..??

Forget all this.. Why the hell he wants each of his date to look like her..??


Currently I'm annoyed like hell and he just doesn't care.. He is driving peacefully...!! How can someone be soo rude..!! I huffed and crossed my arms thinking of Mouni and her assistant's not so friendly chat..!!


Everything was okay in the beginning when they started doing my hair and other stuff.. Suddenly a parcel arrived and it was nothing but my dress.  Dress I was gonna wear in the event.. Dress I'm wearing right now.. Dress similar to Alya wore in one of her Award shows..!! Yes.. The point was everybody knows that he is obsessed with that girl and he actually helps them by doing these things..!! The entire salon was quietly giggling probably already knew what is going to happen..!! All this is so twisted.. I just don't want to go anywhere.  At least not as a substitute..!! But I can't do anything except accepting whatever he has..!!


"You're not looking bad..." Wow.. And here I got the compliment.. Of course I can't expect more than this..

After all I'm NOT LOOKING BAD..!!


"I'm glad ur money paid off and I'm not looking BAD.. " I emphasized and the hurt and sarcasm wasn't missed in my tone..!!

"I-I didn't mean it like that.. Of course u r loo--"

"It's okay Manik..!! U don't need to justify urself.." I cut him and turned my face to look out of the window..!!

It was an hour long drive to the venue as it was outside the city. The place was decorated beautifully and there was a red carpet leading us inside. Manik and I stepped out of car and Manik walked towards me giving me a warm smile.

Something is wrong...!! I knit my brows when he came and place his hand on the small of my back and I gasped at the contact..  I was wearing a beautiful pink full length gown which had a deep back making direct contact of our skins..!!

"Let's Go..!!" He murmured before ushering us inside.

There were several news reporters and paparazzi were there to capture our picture. Some of them were complete junglees as they were throwing themselves on me on my way, annoying the hell out of me.. I even got a few compliments making me blush. !!

"Manik who is this new girl??"

"Is she ur new girlfriend??"

"Are u two in a relationship now??"


"Manik.. What happened to Soha?? Did u two break up..?"

"This girl is wearing the same dress as Alya.. Are u still not over her??"


This was the last question I heard before we entered in the party away from all that nonsense..!! The sad part was- the moment we stepped inside the warm I was feeling till now was gone.  Yes..!! Manik removed his hand. I don't know why but I was missing that touch.. But alas..!! He is not mine to miss..!!  I shook sadly..

"Nandini..!! Hi..!! What r u ----" Cabir came towards us smiling but his smile faded as soon as he took a complete look of my dress and he shot an angry look in Manik's direction who in response just shrugged. How mean he is ? Huh..!!  I gave a small smile to Cabir to which also gave me formal smile and stood with us..!!
