She mended hearts
breaking her own
She was what
he could call home.
Hopes ran through her nerve,
always kept others above,
For all she ever wanted in return
was Love. ❤️
Inspired from the Indian Romance Drama "Kaisi Yeh Yaariaan".

Plea...
A/N- I'm so, so happy that my readers LOVED the fusion instrumental of Kanmani Anbodu. Honestly, it was just a fluke! I am not a South Indian & had no idea of this song, it's just that this video instrumental caught my heart! <3 ______________________________________
#29- Of Jealousy, Friendship and Forgiveness.
The evening had turned into night with Nandini clouding Manik's thoughts as he sat on the poolside with his guitar humming a soft melody. Nyonika not being at home to watch the softness in his gestures that rare evening gave him even more freedom to express his emotions to those stars high up there. A smile had adorned his lips and it intended to rest there for the rest of the night. The unceasing desire to find the girl who stole his heart with her voice on the first day itself was starting to fade away and instead, the girl who rakes him over the coals almost every single day, the girl whose eyes twinkle with hope and innocence had started to take over most of Manik's attention and mindfulness. He went to sleep with Nandini's thoughts and dreams, only to wake up a smile that he hadn't realized he felt after a long, long time.
Next Day 2PM
It had been a very hectic day for Nandini who had to reach early to college to start her preparations with Aryaman, then practice her performance with Navya till Harshad reaches for the band practice. The auditorium, till the break, was allotted to NH4 on Harshad's order and no outsider was permitted inside till then, which made it quite easy for Nandini to complete her practices with Aryaman as well as Navya. Harshad had been quite successful in creating his helpful, kind and friendly image in front of Nandini, who had already disregarded Manik's warnings even before her morning's cup of coffee. Harshad came soon after Navya-Nandini's practice and then started the composing of lyrics and tunes, vocal testing and much more which went on for three hours. Then there came a point where Nandini was too tired to even speak. Three hours practice with Aryaman, one hour with Navya and to add to it, three full hours of practicing as the lead vocalist was not a cakewalk.
Sensing Nandini's condition, they decided on a break. Harshad asked them what they'd eat and himself went to get them from the canteen.
Nandini sat on the edge of the stage and chugged the bottle of water down her throat. Navya and Aryaman watched as she slowly rested her forehead on her palms- she was clearly stressed.
She sat in the same position for a while when Aryaman came beside her and held her shoulders, giving her a side hug. Nandini forced a small smile as he studied her tired features.

"What happened?" he softly asked her.
Nandini looked up at him, worry apparent in her eyes. "Do you think this will work?"
"What will work?"
"Long hours of practice. I am singing in all three, and not just this," she added, "I have a duet with Manik left." She sighed heavily, her voice was breaking under hours of stress to the vocal chords. "Four rehearsals, one month... only God knows how I must manage!" her shoulders drooped.
