Where Everything Starts

Coming Closer

Hello my lovely readers. I hope you all are doing great.Take care, and please be safe. :)

----------------------------------------------------------------

(All the students are present at the notice board to see what all they have been assigned. They all are shocked after they all get their tasks.)

Mishti: How can this be? Poetry? Aur main?!

Abir: Singing? (He looks at Manik shocked, and talks to himself.) Kahan phasa diya mere bhai?!

Nandini: Kamal hain, sirf tum dono ke hi tasks ajeeb hain. All the other students can somehow manage.

Manik: Haan yaar! 

Nandini: I want to talk to the both of you. (She takes ManBir a little far from the others.)

Abir: Kya hua Nandini? (Abir asks with a confused face.)

Nandini: Kya kiya tum dono ne?

Manik: What do you mean, kya kiya hum dono ne? (Clearly understanding her, but is pretending not to.)

Nandini: Manik zyaada bano mat. Sirf Mishit aur Abir ke hi tasks swap hue hain. Aisa kyun? Aur kab se dekh rahi hoon, tum dono aapas mein hi muskuraaye jaa rahe ho. Maano jaise ki koi bada teer mar liya ho. Jaldi bolo baat kya hain. (Nandini crosses her arms across her chest.)

Manik: Wah meri jaan... (he then realizes what he just said, and then changes the topic.) Mera matlab hain wah Nandini bahut achi tarah se jaan liya hain mujhe tumne.

Abir: Meri jaan huh? (teasing MaNan.)

Manik: Tu na zyada dhyan mat de. Aur Nandini, yeh humara hi plan tha. It is to bring MishBir closer.

Abir: Haan agar hum saath time spend karenge toh it will be a great way for us to get to know each other more. Bas isiliye.

Nandini: Woh toh main samajh gayi lekin Mishti khabhie nahin manegi.

(This sentence leaves ManBir shocked.)

Abir: Aise kaise nahin maanegi?

Manik: Exactly, itni planning ki. Ab how can you say ki nahin maanegi?

Nandini: Manik, Abir, she is afraid of commitments. Uske parents ke separation ke baad she doesn't believe in relationships.

Manik: Oh. Ab? (He looks at Abir.)

Abir: Kuch nahin, main hoon na. Mishti ko uske darr se bahar nikal ke hi dum loonga.

Manik: That's the spirit brother! (Manik sides hugs Abir.)

Nandini: As you say. Just give her some time and space as well. Aur haan, ek baat aur. Tum dono ka jo bhi plan hain I don't care. Lekin I only want itna ki Mishti ki feelings ke saat koi khilwaar nahin hona chahiye. She should not end up hurt. Samjhe na? Warna mujhse bura koi nahin ho ga.

Abir: Mishti don't worry. Sab mujh pe chod do. I won't let anything happen to her. I promise.

Manik:(Whispers to Abir.) Waise bhi tum se koi bura ho bhi nahin sakta.

(ManBir starts laughing.)

Nandini: I heard that.

(They all head back to the group.)

(MaNan smiles seeing Abir's confidence, and feels happy that he loves Mishti so much.)

(Change of Scene)

(Everyone is at a park in central Mumbai. They were tired of being on campus, and stressed with the Talent Show act assignments. For this reason, they decided to go out for sometime, and after a very long time.)
