(Flashback)
Little Nandini who is around 9 years old with her younger brother is seen saying bye to her mom and dad as they are going for work, when they see a black BMW car park near the house near them, a boy gets out of the car and runs to hug his grandfatheriy who hugs him tightly, that boy is obviously young manik whose 10 years old at the time.
Ri- di who is this? Rishab said innocently
N- i don't know rishab, i guess we'll find out.
Next day, nandini sees manik playing the guitar on the front porch of his house, and admires him, manik notices her and gets conscious, and gets up to go inside. Nandini calls out to him.
N- heyyyyyyy listen!
Manik turns back and looks annoyed.
N- tum guitar kitne ache se bajate ho! Mujhe sikhao na??
M- and why should i do that?
N- because agar tum mujhe guitar sikhaoge toh we'll become friends!
M- and mujhe tumari yeh friend request mein koi interest nahi hai,
And he turns around to leave,
N- oyeeeee, meri friendship bohot valuable hai, it's too precious....tum mujhe thank karoge trust me!
M- really? Manik said smirkingly
N- asmaa ke dekhlo? She said in a challenging tone.
M- fine, one week that's all you get, main tumhe guitar sikhaonga, and by the end agar tum seekh nahi paye toh, this friendship deal is over? Cool?
N- hahahahahahaha
M- has kyun rahe ho? He asks her confused
N- yeh soch kar ki hamari dosti bohot lambi chalne wali hai,
M- Itni overconfidence?
N- confidence hai, music is true love.
M- sure whatever...ab seekhna hai ki nahi?
N- haaan come
M- where?
N- arey meri favorite jaga pe!
Nandini drags manik near this beautiful hillside that has the most beautiful scenery.N- dekho, there meri secret place hai, ab jitni beautiful lag rahi hai na? Sunset ke baad aur bhi beautiful ho jati hai...it's magical
M- wow.... he says awestruck.
N- bola tha na, mere bina tum itni amazing jaga kon dikhata??
M- ok fine, ab bolke time waste mat karo, tumhe guitar nahi seekhna hai?
N- yesssss, acha wait tum itni impatient kyun hi rahe ho? You want me to win huh? She said smirking
M- oh please i was just asking, mera time bohot important hai, so use mein waste nahi karna chahta
N- ok fine relax baba, waise tumara naam poochna toh main bhool hi gayi!
Manik thinks in his mind
(Iss ladki ko naam nahi bataoongi, ab age jaake usne stalk walk kuch karliya toh?)
M- umm Manu...
N- so cutee
M- whatever
N- arey compliment tha..
Just then the sunset happens 🌄
N- manu dekhoooo this is the best part of my day, kitni magica hai na??
Manik looks at the sunset, the view was remarkable, and as soon as the sun set the fireflies had come out surrounding them.
N- yaayyyyyyyieeee!
Nandini starts twirling around the fireflies, she looked just like an angel, manik kept staring at her, he had never seen anything so beautiful or extraordinary in his life. A smile slowly crept his lips.
N- yeh mere best friends hai, ab tumare bhi ban jayenge,
Manik smiles at her, and then looks up at the million stars that had managed to appear in the night sky,
M- nahi woh mere best friends hai. He said pointing up at the stars,
M- i just love them, kuch nahi kehte hai, but they always shine for you,
N- so you love stars?
M- haan he says smiling and sits down on the grass. Nandini sits down next to him.
N- mere amma aur appa bhi stars se bohot pyaar karte hai, they work for them.
M- matlab?
N- hahaha, they are scientists, astronomers
M- ohhh matlab...
N- yup, kal when we come here i'll get you a telescope, use tum inhe aur bhi kareeb se jaan paoge.
She said smilingly looking at the stars. Manik smiles at her.
M- tumara name toh tumne bola hi nahi?
Nandini gets conscious, she thinks to herself
(Isse stars se kitni pyaar hai...i know what i should do)
N- taara, mera naam taara hai...
M- taara? Seriously... tumara naam stars jitni beautiful hai.
N- hahaha bola tha na meri friendship bohot valuable hai, tumhe taaron se dosti karni hai toh yeh lo taara tyaar hai! Nandini says putting her hand forward.
Manik starts laughing and shakes her hand.
M- i guess tumari dosti itni bhi buri nahi hai... he says smiling.
N- tumari bhi dosti kafi special hai rockstar!
And he starts to teach her to play guitar.
Soon enough they end up spending 2 whole months together of holidays. Manik and nandini gets very attached to each other, they have breakfast, lunch, and dinner together...he literally lives at her house and vice versa....and at this point of time they have still have no clue about their real names. Taara had become manik's best friend, he used to be happy kid, he was always seen smiling. Manik's grandad "daduu" was also a fan of nandini. One day dadu passes way getting a cardiac arrest, manik was in shock, nandini was by his side the whole time, hugging him, comforting him, etc.
in manik's room:
Manik is seen breaking everything in his room in anger. He was really close to his grandad.
N- manu, kya kar rahe ho, stoppp, please it's okay, she says hugging him. And trying to comfort him...he pushes her away and says
M- get lost taara mujhe akele rehna hai...
N- no you need me now manu, main kahi nahi jaa rahi hoon, she says crying.
M- fine tum yahi rukhoo main jaa raha hoon. And he storms off.
Nandini runs behind him but is stopped by ams, who she stays with. Nandini's mom comes and tells her
NM- kanna it's okay, use akele rehne do, he needs space.
N- but amma, he's broken. Nandini says crying
Ams- nandu, andar aao kanna, woh theek hojayega, hume use kuch der akele rehne dena hoga.
That evening nandini goes to the hillside, being confident that she'll find manik there...and their suspicion was right, manik was sitting at the edge of the hill staring at the stars.
N- kya hua rockstar?, dadu ki yaad aa rahi hai?
Boy- no, kuch nahi hua hai, get lost, mujhe akele rehna hai.
N- but akele rahoge toh yahan ka dard kaise kam hoga? Girl says pointing to his heart.
M- kya?
N- rockstar, amma kehti hai ke jab hum rote hai toh iss liye rote hai because yahan dard hota hai. She said again point at his heart.
M- maybe, but mein dard ko katam kaise karoon?
N- jab tak main hoon, tab tak tumhe wahan dard kabhi na hoga, and look these stars shine so beautifully. Inhe dekhe humhe bas smile karni chahiye, cry nahi. She said smiling.
M- toh tum meri star ho?
N- haan, and i'll always shine for you takhi tum kabhi sad na ho. She said smiling brightly.
Manik starts to smile and hugs her
M- ok star, tum humesha mere paas rehna, i will need you to always shine for me.
N- humesha.
Nandini holds his hand.
