MaNan SS - Paris Wala Love

CHAPTER 6 - WILL WE MEET AGAIN?

COFFEE SHOP

Manik and Nandini order the coffee. The waiter brings their coffees to the table and places two fortune cookies next to them. Nandini gets excited.

Nandini: Wow, a fortune cookie!

She immediately grabs one and breaks it open to get the message, while Manik sips his coffee.

Manik: Don't tell me you believe in those fortune cookies.

Nandini: Yes, I do... not literally, but it's fun to read the message.

Nandini pulls out the paper and reads, "We don't meet people by accident. They are meant to cross our path for a reason, and that's called DESTINY."

She smiles at the message. "Wow, such a true and meaningful quote, right?"

Manik scoffs. "You call that meaningful?"

Nandini: Yeah... in fact, we both met because destiny wanted us to meet.

Manik: Seriously? We met because you decided to help me that day. It was your decision, not Mr. Destiny's.

Nandini: I'm sure you don't believe in destiny, otherwise you wouldn't be saying this.

Manik: You're right, I don't believe in it.

Nandini: Okay, then at least open your fortune cookie and tell me what your message says.

Manik: Nandini, I don't believe in all this stuff.

Nandini: Please, for me...

Nandini makes a cute face that Manik can't resist.

Manik: Okay, for you.

He breaks his cookie and pulls out the message. He reads it aloud, "Destiny is for losers. It's just a stupid excuse to wait for things to happen instead of making them happen." He laughs.

Nandini: Show me.

Nandini grabs the paper, thinking he made it up.

Manik: Wow, now I like this fortune cookie a lot. Should we get more?

Nandini: Thanks, but no thanks, Manik.

Manik: But the message is right. If you want something in life, you should work hard to get it rather than wait for it to happen.

Nandini: Yeah, that's true too.

Manik: So Mr. Destiny won't help us to know each other. We have to do something ourselves.

Nandini: Do what?

Manik: I'll say a letter, and you have to say something about yourself that starts with that letter.

Nandini: Cool. You go first.

Manik: G.

Nandini: GOD.

Manik: God?

Nandini: I believe in God a lot and I usually go to the Ganesha Temple in Paris.

Manik: Wow, Nandini, you seem to believe in so many things.

Nandini: And you seem to believe in nothing.

Manik: Hey, I do believe in certain things, okay.

Nandini: Like what?

Manik: I believe in friendship and I believe that hard work can make anything possible. Most importantly, I believe in enjoying life a lot, and the list goes on. Okay, now your turn. Give me a letter.
