Nandini's pov

Bin kuch kahe,
bin kuh sune
Haathon mein haath liye
Chaar kadam bas char kadam
Chal do na saath mere

Cabir hummed these lines the moment we entered the hall...

I was taken aback by his singing without any reason...It took me minutes to understand...He was singing looking at our interlocked hands...

The moment i realised his taunt...I removed my hand from that of Manik...

I saw Manik gritting his teeth at Cabir..

Cabir-" Yaar how do you both pull it off... "

Manik- "What??"

Navya- "Mata Rani bhi ap dono ki madad karti hain"

I was going insane about their questions...
Just then Manik said -"Come straight to the point Cabir...."

Cabir- "So mai yeh bol raha tha...Tum dono I mean Mr Manik Malhotra & Miss Nandini Murthy har baar problem mein kese padh jate hai...Last time accident And this time missed the bus...Aesi help tum dono ko kyun milti hai uparwale se...I mean...Hum par bhi taras khao na Navya ki Mata Rani...."

Manik- "Shut up...I don't have time to listen to your stupidity..."

Navya- "Acha..hamare liye time thodi na hai...Saara time toh Nandini k....

Before she could complete Manik glared at her and she vanished in a second...

I turned and made my way... fighting hard to show my crimson cheeks...

Nandini's pov

After an adventurous and tiring night my day came to an end...

The chirping of the small birds woke me up...It was just 4 in the morning...

As per my new routine...I freshened up soon... And went out with the necessary items for aarti...

I was making my way through the garden to the nearby shrine...I felt someone following me..Maybe it was my hallucination...

I reached the shrine...lighted up the earthen diya...the incense sticks..and immersed myself in the devotion of Mata Parvati...

After singing the hymn...And lying prostrate before the Goddess I was done with my prayers...

I was descending down the stairs when I felt a pat on my left shoulder...

I shuddered at the sudden movement...My heart seemed to pump blood at a high rate... I closed my eyes in terror..it wasn't even 5am..No soul could be seen when I came...I was fear stricken... And I felt that somebody came before my eyes...

Slightly I opened my eyes and heaved a sigh of relief...

"Manik..tum yaha..You scared the shit out of me..." I shouted

"Wow...Miss Nandini Murthy gets scared too...Amazing"

"Shut up ...what are you doing here?"

"Same question for you"

"Mai yaha pooja krne aayi thi..."
"Itni subah..?"

"Hmm...but tumne bataya nhi why r u here at this time?"

"Main pooja krne wali ko dekhne aaya tha" 😍

"What did u say?"

"Its too hard for you to get it....prasad nhi khilaogi..?"

"No...yeh sabke liye h..."
