"Nandini Nandini Nandu" his soft voice echoed in her head again and again as her eyes were drooping and her body felt light as if she was in oblivion, a complete bliss. This felt good. It was as if nothing else mattered, as if there were never responsibilities burdening her tiny frame, as if she was never sad or better, as if she never felt anything at all. Even If this is what hell felt like Nandini would want to go again without bargain except if Manik was offered in exchange.

Manik, the guy whose smile is enough to lighten her life, whose voice fills her heart with warmth, whose anger and subtlety keeps her going, whose love keeps her alive.

A very beautiful guitar piece was being played somewhere in the background, somewhere very near to her but she did not have enough energy to move even a feather .She just laid back and dropped her eyelids to let the emptiness consume her.

The sky was clear. The sea was silent as if it was a secret keeper that heard them and took them away with each wave that passed. The crescent moon shone high and reflected aesthetically on the calm sea. The stars twinkled brilliantly, smiling to shine in the dark sky.

The guitar was still playing and the music was getting clearer as Nandini was approaching the source of it. In her beautiful floral dress, she swiftly walked on the sand taking small steps as she was devouring the melodic music. As she got closer ,her lips lifted as did her chubby cheeks, her smile was reaching her eyes as she saw him .The bright moonlight illuminated his beautiful face, his perfect sharp jawline and his pointed nose ,his closed eyes and his serene face , a sight to behold.

He was lost in the music, in his own little world. She stepped closer and settled beside him to admire him closely. She watched him play and she could do that all day. He opened his eyes to see her smiling at him, he reciprocated and stopped playing. Nandini frowned; she did not want the music to stop. He smiled wider and kept the guitar aside, without a word being said, he delicately took her face in his hands and pecked her forehead. His lips felt warm and a known yet unknown sensation passed through her body as her smile returned. He moved further, he smoothly kissed her closed eyelids and soon captured her lips. They kissed slowly as if they were in no hurry, as if they had all the time in the world to be devoured by each other.

The wind was blowing and her hair was a beautiful mess. He pulled away swiftly and tucked her hair behind her ear and looked deeply into her eyes and said in his ever so husky tone "you know for the first time someone is looking equally beautiful, stars" he looks up to the sky and then back at Nandini "like the stars and it's you"

Nandini blushed "The first time you said that you said the same thing "

"Every time I look at you it feels like it's the first time. I can never get enough of you "Manik said.

"So keep me with you forever" Nandini pulled Manik's hand, intertwined her own with his and rested her head on his comforting shoulder.

"Humesha" he softly pecked her hair as an assurance and pulled her closer in his embrace. "Never will I let you go, not even for the stars"

She laughed at that and closed her eyes to enjoy the moment, to enjoy the nature and to enjoy his presence. They stayed in the same position for god knows how long, they shared this comfortable silence. All they ever needed was to be by each other's side and nothing else mattered.

Dear KYY fans,

I have a quick quiz question for all the KYY fans.  Lets see how much do all of us remember. I just wanna know if it's just me or there are other people who remember each and every dialogue from the series. 

What was the event or the episode or the scene in which Manik said these lines: -"you know for the first time someone is looking equally beautiful like the stars and it's you"?
