She was on terrace with a cup of coffee in her hands looking at the stars, the summer was already here and the stars were more clear in the sky, it was just another day when manik was late from studio.

The clock stopped at 12 and a sigh left her mouth again it was like everything was falling apart now when she was alone not only mentally but physically too she couldn't help but think of her decision of marrying manik, she was soo clear that she loved manik but now thinking she just can't stop thinking about it, marrige is a big thing and it can't be undo ever it's not like she doesn't wanna marry him but somewhere she fears that what if one day he falls out in love with her and finds someone better and what if thier marriage fails.

Nandini was always known to Console and support manik but if manik had his insecurities nandini too had them it's just that her insecurities were hidden in a corner and she never paid any attention to then but now they were coming to light and she couldn't help but goo in distress.

She wanted to talk with someone but who, she doesn't want to disturb manik and especially not with this thing cause she thinks that he will get hurt and would cancel the weeding and she doesn't want it.

She plugged in her earphones and closed her eyes in an attempt to clear her mind from all the mess, the melody of the song was calming and soft making her feel a little better but better has never been enough.

Thinking about all her friends she could talk about her problems, she found noone, since the start except manik there was noone who she could share everything even as a child nandini only had a close group of friends who got lost in thin air as soon as school ended and the ones who stayed only grace thier presence on what's app messages on Holi and Diwali.

When she started college and met navya she thought that finally someone would become her best friend and will listen to her and will acknowledge her problems but none of this happened instead she was the one to listen Navya's probelms and solve them and whenever she was unable to do soo or Wanted to do something for herself she was tagged as a bad friend like the talent hunt phase it's not like nandini didn't wanted to help navya but somewhere she wanted navya to be here with her in her tough times but navay wasn't able too, to the world they were navni the bestest friends but was it truee? Cause she doesn't think friendship works one way, navya was too busy in her problems that she forgot that sometimes you need to side your problems just to help that one person who cares for you and be there's for you everytime.

Everything around her was getting hard, she was missing her appa and amma, she wants to be there little girl who used to cling onto her mother when she used to do household chores, she wants to be the girl who used to go for morning walks on beach with her appa, she wants to be the same girl who used to sit on terrace at summers with her appa and amma where her appa used to play sitar and her Amma and her used to dance, she misses the sound of  thier laughter she misses the cute fights of her appa and amma, she misses the consolation of her Amma when she used to cry, she misses her pampering of her appa when she used to get angry, she lost the light of older lamps in the search of new bulbs but now when the bulbs are getting fused she wants to go back to her older lamps, they used to give little light but that light was enough to make her heart and home bright.

She was lost in her thoughts when she felt a kiss on her cheeks, she plugged off her earphones and saw manik standing infront of her with a tired smile and messy hair and instantly a small smiled knocked on nandini's lips no matter what the situation is manik Malhotra would always bring a smile on her lips
