All I'm saying is that I don't want to sort of fall in love with fifty different people. 

I'd rather find one person and fall completely, deeply in over my head.

Manik was driving back to Nandini's home to drop her . The shoot lasted longer , with much fun and enjoyment . And as it was late Manik decided he will drop Nandini down . 

Nandini was settled in the passenger seat looking at the site the renewed with photos and style , with a pout . Manik saw her with a side glance and had an urge to chuckle at her cuteness but letting it slide he asked " What happened ? Not satisfied ? "

" No , they are good . But it seem something is lacking .  But what ? " Nandini pouted looking at the site  still confused . 

"Relevance." Manik stated looking on the way . 

" what ? "  Nandini asked him in confusion . 

" Online shopping is a psychological behavior . So if you want your customers to want to buy something , you have to follow the psychological law of the behavior of purchasing . As the design of your store is much more attractive now , user's experience will be better too . But it still lacks relevance . " Manik said but it only made Nandini huff and pout as he told her the problem she already know but what's the solution of it .

" But how can I improve it ? " She asked him with a cute pout .  He smiled at her pout and said " How about drawing some comics ? You can write a short story about each of your toys. If people are attracted by the stories , they will surely want to buy your products .  "

Nandini's eyes lit up listening Manik's suggestion and she said " Good idea . I have always believed that a great designer can design and also express his feelings through it .  "

She turned towards his and with a great smile said " Dr. Manik you are very smart ."

He smiled at her compliment and said " Nandini Murthy , do you know that , when a person do something what they really likes , they shine .Like when you are with someone you really like. You are just shinning . "  

She look at him with a little confusion and little shyness as how this topic connected . Manik just smirked at her expressions and asked " Are you little into me ? "

" You ..." She started to speak listening him but a hue crept on her cheek and she looked at the other side biting her lower lip and mumbled " Narcissist . " { Narcissist - are the people who give more importance to themselves .}

Manik chuckled at her comment and then said suggesting her " You can create more characters . For example - cats , burgers , bears and MANI " 

Her eyes widened listening the last thing he suggested and she said " You know about it. " 

Manik gave her a small smile and said " Mukti is not good with secrets ." 

 She mentally made a point to give mukti a much needed reward { note the sarcasm } . But then looked at Manik and she asked " Are you angry on me ? "  

" Should I be angry on you ? " Manik asked her back with a smile . She pressed her lips into a thin smile knowing that he is not mad at her now .

They reached Nandini's home , and Manik stopped the car amd looked at Nandini saying " Here , you are home . "

She fidgeted with her fingers and very slowly asked " You wanna come in ? "
