Mukthi: Very good mom. We completed our group practice.
Nyonika: ok Mukthi. Do practice more.
All the three "sure mom". Saying everyone left to college.
At college:
Aliya: Abi and Mukthi, come with me. We have to rehearse for the walk with the costume.
Dhruv, Abi and Mukthi left with aliya. Aryaman was doing his drawing practice. Cabir and navya went to canteen to buy some snacks. Nandini was searching something on her bag while manik spoke
Manik: Nandini!?
Nandini: Yes manik.
He handed a chocolate to her.
Nandini: "Thank you", saying she smiled.
Manik: Nandini, will you share that chocolate with me?
Nandini: Sure manik. You can take the whole chocolate also.
Manik: No, i asked you to share with me while you eat.
Nandini: "Ok", saying she opened the wrapper and gave a bite to manik.

Manik smiled eating the chocolate. Then nandini too ate the remaining chocolate.
Nandini: shall we start practicing manik?
Manik: sure nandu. Go ahead.
Nandini: ok but 1st for trial I'll sing with lyrics in my hand. Then I'll sing without it. Ok manik?
Manik: "ok nandu. Your wish.", saying he smiled.
Nandini started singing "Bolna" She was fully involved in the song like closing her eyes and singing. Whereas manik was mesmerized by her voice and her face. He thought to take video of her while singing instead he couldn't take his eyes from her. He was staring at her without blinking his eyes. By the time, nandini completed her song. He was still looking at her. Nandini came to him and called manik. He came back to his senses and spoke.
Manik: Yah nandu.
Nandini: I completed singing manik.
Manik: "Ya ya nandu. I know. It was wonderful actually I was mesmerized by your voice.", he said looking straight into her eyes.
Nandini: She blushed and said, "Thank you manik."
Manik: "Nandu, come sit here.", saying he sat on the table.
Nandini sat beside him.
Manik: I'll tell you one thing but you shouldn't discuss this with anyone.
Nandini was shocked and asked
Nandini: "what happened manik? Are you in any trouble?", she asked being concern.
Manik smiled at her concern. He took her hands into his. Nandini was shocked at his act and looking down avoiding his eye contact.
Manik: Nothing like that nandu. But it's a secret which I know and wanna share it with you.
Nandini: ok manik.
Manik: Nandu, Dhruv is in...
Nandini: "Dhruv? What happened to dhruv?", she asked standing from her place.
Manik looked up facing nandini.
Manik: "Nothing big, nandu. 1st come and sit.", saying he pulled her and made her sit with him.
Nandini: Ok then tell me what's it.
Manik: "Dhruv is in love with Aliya.", he said making nandini shocked as hell.
She was looking at him silently and being shocked to the core. She didnt reply anything.
Manik: Nandini?
*No response* from nandini.
Manik: "Nandini", he shooked her by her shoulders.
Nandini came back to senses.
Nandini: "Yah manik", still in shock.
Manik: "Nandini, listen to me properly. I know you are shocked. But it's love, we cant plan it, right. It has to happen. And now it happened to dhruv now. We have to support him. And it's still an one sided love. He didnt propose to aliya yet. He is planned to do it in this weekend. He told me not to tell anyone till he gets a green signal from aliya. But I couldn't hide it from you. I know he is my best friend and I shouldn't break his trust. But nandini, I know you will be happy for him and you should be involved in every single thing happens in your brother's life.", he spoke looking deep into her eyes.
Nandini didnt know what to say.
Nandini: Manik, I'm happy for dhruv but I was shocked by your sudden confession about his love life. I'll always be his side no matter what.
Manik: I know nandu. That's why I told you. But you aren't angry at him, right?
Nandini: No manik. I can understand his side. But tell me since when this love story's been happening?
Manik: He has a huge crush on aliya for 3 years. But finally he brought some courage to propose her after 3 years.
Nandini: ok manik. I'm so happy for him.
Manik: I know you will nandu. That's why I couldn't hide it from you.
Nandini: *smiled looking down*
Then both realized that nandini's hand is still in manik's hand.
She looked at it and blushed. Manik smriked.
They heard everyone's coming. So nandini released her hands from his.
Dhruv: Nandu, you completed your practice?
Nandini: Yes dhruv. Your completed your thing with aliya?
Manik was shocked.
Dhruv: "What?", asked without knowing what she is referring to.
Nandini: "I mean your helpings for aliya. Completed your practice for the show?", she changed topic and smiled at manik.
Manik sighed in relief.
Dhruv: Not yet nandu.
Aliya: "Yes nandu. I've to do some altering works for both of their dresses.", she spoke in a tired voice.
Nandini: Come on aliya. You can do it. You still have time.
Aliya: Yes nandu. I'll complete it by tomorrow.
Nandini: ok aliya.
Manik: where are the others?
Dhruv: Mukthi and abi went to call cabir and navya. Aryaman, I dunno where is he. Wait I'll call him.
Manik: ok guys. Then let's go and join them. I too messaged arya to come outside the college.
