Fool's Gold

Love is precious... Love is gold
But don't worry darling you ain't
Poor; for there's a ruse,
Little did you know it's just a...... Fool's Gold
- Nandini Murthy

Nandini Murthy, a believer once fell in love with Manik Malhotra - an estranged personality, an even more estranged lover. But that was a half a decade back fable. She walked in with grace and when it's needed she made sure she walked out with elegance. But had she fallen out of love with him was something she wasn't sure of yet. Nandini wasn't a fool but she was fool for him.
When after five years the same question evades her life once again with the same face she finds the doubt intensifies "is she done falling for him?"

And what about Manik? Wearing contradiction as his second skin, his heart is exactly what his name suggests - Manik, a gem hidden under the layers of fickle [sea]. Manik Malhotra was not controversial at all, but his eyes were. All is needed is a dive in; but think twice before you dive for it can cost you a make up or a break up... you never know!
