FLASHBACK OVER

While thinking about the past Nandini was constantly creesing that hankie, with a faint smile. She was lost but one pair of eyes was looking at her continuously , his gaze was fix on her but she was in her own land. Manik came and sit beside her quietly. He is looking at her, the way she is creesing the hankie, giving it importance. To bring her out of her thoughts he said...

M(loudly): so what your project

Nandini came out of her thoughts, she came in senses, look at him for once and then bend down her head.

N( lightly): u came??

M: yes, why don't u want me

N: hmmm...

M: so what project u got

N: I got " The Impact of new Technologies on the country's broadcast Media"

M: okay so kab submit karna h tumhe ye

N: next month

M: fine Whenever u need help ask me, by the way I am Manik

He forward his hand for hand shake, Nandini look at him then at his hand and hold it very lightly..

N: I am Nandini, Nandini Murty

M(whisper): I know

N: kuch kaha aapne

M: no nothing

N: ok when we will start working on it

M: Don't be depended on me, you start searching on it

N: par aap

M( sternly): What

N(with her head down): aap guide  nhi karege mjhe

M: see u tomorrow after classes

N: thik hai

Without hearing Nandini's reply Manik left from there. Nandini was confuse regarding his behavior towards her. Manik came to jam room whole way thinking about Nandini..

M( in thoughts): God.. she is so innocent and sweet. She is not like others, no fashion, no make up, she live such a simple life in simple way. But it looks like she is afraid of something, the way in which she avoid making contact with people, she never talk with maintaining a eye contact. Her head remains down. Her hand is so soft, soft and smooth as feather. She is not the same...

When Manik reach to jam room, he finds it empty. H send a msg to Fab4..

M: kaha ho tum sab

He got same msg form everyone(fab4), that they are with the junior regarding project work.

M msg: ok

As FAb4 are not there , he write some lyrics and try to make a tune over it. He pick up his guitar and start singing...

Kyoon Badalon Ki Gali
Chand Hairan Hai Kya Pata
Armanon Ke Sab Iraade
Pareshan Hain Kyoon Bhala

Kyoon Badalon Ki Gali
Chand Hairan Hai Kya Pata
Armanon Ke Sab Iraade
Pareshan Hain Kyoon Bhala

Aye Dil Bata
Jaane Kyoon Is Martaba
Tune Mujhe Ye Kya Keh Diya
Aye Dil Bata
Aise Kyoon Hairat Bhara
Ye Pyaar Yoon Tune De Diya

Ooo..Aaa..Tere Naam..
Ooo..Aii..

Aye Dil Bata..Ae Dil Bata
Aye Dil Bata..Ae Dil Bata

Samjhaya Tujhe Kitna, Phir Bhi
Kiya Tune Bas Apne Man Ki
Galiyon Mein Jaake Kyoon Baitha Ishq Ki 
Ooo..
Kuchh Nahin Ab Mere Bas Mein
Kuchh Nahin Yahan Tere Bas Mein
Badmashiyaan Hain Ye Kiski, Ishq Ki

Bepata Lapata Ho Chala
Aye Dil Bata..

As Manik start singing, Nandini pass from the jam room. As she listen a melodious voice her feet stop, right over there. She feel a different emotion in that voice, she feels that she know this voice, she heard it somewhere .

He was singing but in middle he hears someones phone ringtone, he turn to look at the person. When he saw Nandini is standing on the door, admiring him. His mind smirk but he didn't show it to her.

M: tum yaha, kyu

N: No I was just passing form here I heard your voice.

M: SO

N: Your lyrics are beautiful

M:I know

Nandini was about to say further when again her cell rings, on which she left from there. Manik smile thinking about the compliment, a smile which is direct from his heart. Few minutes later Fab4 came over there.

M: kya hua

Mu: Puche mat yr us Rasai ke karan us Bandar ko jhelna pad rha h

Ca: Seriously apne marks ka sawal na hota to me us Madhubala ki kbhi help na karta

M: chill guys

Dh: Guys they just want our guidance not our whole property

Al: par phir bhi Dhruv

M: hey don't worry about them, Fab5 know how to handle them (with evil smile)

Cabir and Mukti pass a evil smile to Manik, Dhruv nodded his head in disbelief and Aliya was busy with her make up.
