MaNan: It all started with a lie

Stronger Than Ever

Maddy left the room leaving behind nandini who kept pondering over Maddy's unusual behaviour. She was aware that something was surely bothering him and she was determined to find out.

Manik saw her lost expression and frowned.

Manik: hey wassup? Any problem?

Nandini: huh? Ha....n-nahi toh...no problem at all

But manik wasn't convinced.

Manik: tell me...maybe I can help you

Manik tried to make her spill but even nandini was stubborn.

Nandini: nahi manik...its nothing...really

Manik*sighs*: fine. Tell me when you feel like ya?

He said cupping her face to which nandini smiled faintly.

Cabir: Oye Romeo Juliet! No romance now ha

Cabir spoke up when he saw manik and nandini lost in their own world.

Manik: seriously Cabir!

Cabir: seriously manik...ab chal leave your dear girlfriend alone for some time and spend some time with us

Mukti: exactly! Chal na manik

Manik: are but-

Mukti: chal!!!

And she dragged manik along leaving no chance for him to deny.

As soon as they left, nandini decided to check on Maddy and see if he was okay and so she began searching for him in the entire house abd found him sitting all alone in the balcony with his guitar. Nandini smiled knowing what she had to do and rushed to her room meanwhile aryaman entered the terrace calling out for Maddy.

Aryaman: bro I get it ki you like staying alone but you should not leave me like this between couples na. Ab toh sirf hum dono hi single bache hai aur tum ho ki iss masoom si jaan ko akela chod kar iss guitar ke saath baithe ho

Maddy chuckled at his drama.

Maddy: oh dramaqueen agar tera drama ho gaya ho toh bol kya hua hai

Aryaman: Kya hua hai?

Maddy: stop with this crap acting of yours and speak up already bro

Aryaman*sighs*: fine! Tu upset hai na?

Maddy*confused*: upset?

Aryaman*hesitant*: ha voh manik aur nandu ke bareme...

He trailed off and Maddy immediately stiffened listening to him.

Maddy*avoids eye contact*: manik aur munchkin ke bareme kya? Oh that they are dating? Usme upset hone wali kya baat hai?...I am toh happy

Aryaman: bro I know ki tu sirf nandini ke samne open up hota hai but that doesn't mean that I don't know you at all. Main jaanta hu that something is disturbing you...tujhe share karna bhi hai but you are not able to

Maddy: arya I am sorry but even you know I can't (sighs) I don't know ki main apni har baat munchkin ke saath kaise itna easily share karta hu but all I know is that only she is the one in front of whom I can pour my heart out....yet. I am sorry

Aryaman*smiles*: hey its fine...me and even navya and Abhi will be waiting for the day when you won't hesitate sharing all your problems and worries with us too just like you do with nandu...(pats his back) take your time

Maddy smiled nodding his head and soon aryaman left leaving Maddy alone with his guitar, pondering over various thoughts when he heard the door open behind him and nandini entered in with her guitar. He exactly knew what she was up to.
