Nandini: amms don't worry main bilkul theek hu afterall I have my Bhai with me and manik bhi toh hai na

Amms: I know kanna par fir bhi bachcho ki chinta toh hoti hai na

Nandini*smiles*: Oho amms I am your granddaughter na toh fir how can anything happen to me and there is no chance of such things when you have two very protective persons around you almost all the time

Amms: acha ab apne Bhai aur best friend ki taarif karna band kar and Abhi ko phone de. Mujhe kuch kaam hai usse

Confused? Let me explain. Nandini was in her room getting ready for college when amms called her up to ask about her well being. This was now like her routine to talk to amms once in every two weeks, have her breakfast with her Bhai and then wait for manik to pick her up (don't forget that they are still a couple for others in college) while Abhi would go to pick up mukti. It was her daily mooning schedule. A month had already passed after the new year and since then manik and nandini were growing closer with getting themselves indulged in their small romantic moments, still trying to discover their feelings for each other. January had been a blast for them with the kite flying festival to be the most memorable part of the month. February has till now been no different.  The days pass by in a blur due to their absolute busy schedule  but this group of friends make sure to spend atleast some fun time together. Now going back to the conversation with amms.

Nandini: ha ek minute amms.....Bhai!!
Nandini shouted to make sure Abhi was still there having his breakfast while she walked towards the kitchen.

Abhi: kya hua baby doll?

Nandini: Bhai vo amms wanted to talk to you

Abhi*taking the phone*: oh okay
He took the phone and started talking with amms while nandini had her breakfast at the same time when the door bell rang and soon manik made his entry.

Manik: whats up people!
He said cheerfully to which nandini asked to him to shut his mouth as Abhi was talking over the phone.

Abhi*on phone*: ji amms...ha-
He could not talk any further as the phone was snatched out of his hands. He looked up to find manik talking to amms. He shook his head in disbelief and continued eating his breakfast.

Manik's phone Convo

Manik: hey girlfriend! How are you?

Amms: badmash ab tak nahi sudhre na tum? Bachpan me bhi aise the aur ab bhi aise hi ho

Manik: Kya karu girlfriend jitna bhi try karu badal hi nahi pata

Amms*giggles*: kaise ho kanna

Manik: ekdum theek lekin apki yeh jo nandu hai na vo mujhe bohot pareshaan karti hai

Amms: manik meri nandu ke baare me kuch mat bolna samjhe? kyuki I know my granddaughter

Manik: Kya amms itni jaldi party change?

Amms just chuckled in response.

Amms: manik ab phone zara speaker par dalo

He did as said.

Amms: bachcho apna khayal rakhna ok?....I have to go now. Badme baat karenge

Nandini/manik/Abhi: ok! Bye amms....we love you and we miss you!!

Amms: love you and miss you too bachcho

They ended the call. Manik and nandini moved to college in Manik's car and Abhi went to pick mukti up and soon were off to college.

Space academy

Manik: um...nandu?

Nandini: ha?

Manik: Tum music room me jakar mera wait karo...I will be there soon ok
Saying this he was about to leave when nandini held his hand and stopped him from going.

Nandini: kyu? Tum nahi aaoge kya?

Manik: vo mujhe na kaam hai....yes! I have some important work to do so I'll just wrap it up and be there ya?

Nandini*confused*: what work?

Manik*removing his hand from her hold*: nandu main tumhe milta hu na...ok bye!
He left in a blink without listening to her response while nandini nodded her, all confused and started walking towards the music room with a confused frown on her face.

Canteen

Alia: guys manik aur nandini kaha hai?

Dhruv: baby unhe chodo...mujhe tumse kuch puchna hai

Alia: pucho na dhruv. You don't need my permission

Dhruv: ok so...(bends down on one knee) Ms. Alia Saxena will you be my valentine and make me the luckiest guy by being my date?

Alia gasped. She had definitely not expected this. Her eyes were wide from shock while her lips had a happy smile. She just nodded her head in a yes and pounced upon him for a tight hug. The scene was witnessed by the while canteen as Dhruv's act had attracted a lot of attention towards them. They slowly broke the hug when mukti faked a cough to bring them out if their land. Alia looked around and started blushing after realizing that their sweet little moment was witnessed by so many people. Now it was abhi's turn. Mukti was busy admiring dhruv and alia when Abhi backhugged her and forwarded a box full of her favourite chocolates in front of her. Mukti jumped in excitement and snatched the box from him on which she found a small note saying- 'will you be my valentine? '. Mukti was more than happy so she hugged Abhi and whispered a small her in his ear. Abhi grinned widely due to her positive response. All this while Cabir stood there silently whereas navya gazed him with an 'expecting something'  expression. Cabir feigned innocence.

Cabir: Kya hua navya? Mujhe aise kyu dekh rahi ho?

Navya*covering up*: nahi....kuch bhi toh nahi

Cabir: ok

Navya nodded and turned to leave when a guy came to her with a bunch of red roses saying someone had sent them specially for her. She was a bit surprised bur nevertheless accepted them and gave a small smile to the guy as he left. She started fiddling with the bunch of roses to find any clue and came across a note that said-

'I know that you will always be my madhubala as I am your joker but now I also want you to be my date for tomorrow.....my valentine!
Will you accept my proposal and name your tomorrow's day on my name?

Yours joker aka Cabir'

Navya was dumbfounded. She did not know what to say or how to even react, only one thing came to her mind. She quickly ran to Cabir who was still looking at her, trying to figure out her expressions and hugged him happily whispering a quiet thankyou in his ear. Cabir smiled and kissed on the side of her head mouthing a welcome while the rest just stood there, admiring them.

In the music room

Nandini reached the music room and kept her bag aside, her eyes searching for manik but manik was nowhere to be seen so she started calling out for him but got no reply. She was about to move out when she noticed a colourful paper tied to the door's handle and being the curious cat that she is she untied it and started reading the note. Its content made her smile wide. It said-
