Sunshine To My Darkness

Chapter 12

Nandini's POV

I was lying on my bed wasn't able to sleep at all. Deep in my thoughts.
They want me to sing yeah right as if I will.

It's been years i have last sang and all those bitter-sweet memories just come rushing down in my mind whenever I try to sing.

I got up and made my way towards the terrace. I was standing leaning the railing watching the sky full of stars.

I have lost all the hope to sing ever because it reminds me of him. For sometime I forgot of what he did to me because of his efforts. I developed a soft-corner for him in these days but I forgot about those painful days when my heart broke in million pieces and I had to pick those pieces with unsteady hands.

Those days were extremely difficult because I thought I found my true love but never thought that first love's pain would be so heart wrenching.
Unknowingly hot tears started pouring from my eyes.

I heard footsteps coming from behind.
Manik

I can even recognise him blind folded.
"You know you shouldn't waste your precious tears on a dumbass like me." He said giving me hot chocolate. I took the mug from him.

"I wasn't crying and puh-leez I don't waste my tears on a hopeless person like you."

"Reallyyyyy"

"Yeah reallyyyy"

"Nandini listen." He said sounding serious. He cupped my face and made me look at him.

"Remember the first time you entered S.P.A.C.E you wanted to go to the science stream because you got 100 in science." Manik said and I chuckled remembering the past incident where I flaunted my marks in front of manik.

"But you got an admission in music stream because you were destined to go in that stream. Music is just not a hobby for you it's your passion. It makes you happy nandini.
Music was your passion, peace & you shouldn't let it go for anybody.
Nobody, Nobody has the right to snatch it from you not even me.
Nothing should effect you. Not for you but do it for your parents and amms who wanted you to listen to your heart and achieve something in what you have your heart in." He said pointing to my heart.

"It's not easy manik. It's been years." I merely whispered.

"Doesn't matter. It's in your heart and once you decide to sing then nothing can stop you. I promise I will be with you at your every step to help you.
Just don't let my past mistakes effect your future nandini." He said straight looking into my eyes. He kissed my forehead and left from there.

He's right. Damn I literally hate it when he's right.
It was my parents dreams to sing which I stupidly left because of some stupid heartbreak.
I went to my room and slept after thinking a lot.

NEXT MORNING

I woke up and it was 7am. I went to take a shower.
I came out and saw everyone's awake.

Cabir, manik, dhruv and abhi were sitting on the couch discussing about the world's boring topic that is IPL. Yes people IPL has started and these boys have chose their teams. I won't ever understand about boys and their craze for cricket. I made my way to kitchen ignoring them completely.
Navya was in the kitchen making breakfast and saw mukti and alya too helping her.

"Good morning lovely ladies." I wished smilingly.

"Good morning." They wished back with a smile.
