Auditorium :
Nandini was standing on the door..what she found in
front of her eyes..made her stun..smile was never
leaving her lips..and tears were continuously flowing
down from her eyes...and then his voice again...
This place remind me of your 1st fear,
when i was responsible for your tear,
i thought i were having fun,
and with my monstrous acts you were done,
i made you scared by creating darkness,
but you filled my life with brightness...
She remembered how Manik scared her by closing all
the lights of audi..before he threw her appa's pen..she
remembered how much she was frightened and having
tears in her eyes..she wiped her tears and start walking
inside..with a broad smile..
Whole audi was decorated with beautiful candles..there
was no trace of darkness in those lightening
candles..and on the wall behind the stage..there were
huge banners of nandini's pictures...in whole audi there
were lightening effects of fireflies ...everything seems
so beautiful...she felt so special that it seems like she
is in heaven...on the floor..there was huge white
fog...creating a illusion as if she is walking in the
clouds...she roamed her eyes..in whole audi..and her
eyes were teary..smile was crept on her lips..
Nandini : "kahan ho tum manik..."...she asked looking
all around but there was no sign of him..again she
heard his melodious voice...
Manik : "inside your heart..."...she smiled and he again
continued..."now wipe off those tears..i don't like you
wasting those pearls...we wasn't had any good
memory in this audi..so thought to create one..."...he
paused for some seconds...and shouted loud... "I LOVE
YOU NANDINI"...his voice echoed not only in the audi
but in whole space academy...now..nandini's
happiness has no bound...she just wanted to be in his
arms..the person who was once so bad in expressing
himself..is now..confessing his feelings in front of
whole college...
Manik : "i know..what you must be thinking..am also
thinking the same..but..not so early..but by the end of
the day..you will be in my arms only..but right
now..let's do what situation demands.."...on which she
gave a confusing look..."i want you there..which place
has marked our first touch on each other..our first
eyelock..our first convo...oops..correction..our first
fight..."...she was confused for sometime..but then
she analyzed his statement...and now she understood
..which place he was talking about...
She in no time reached the place..and the place
was.. CANTEEN.. as for the first time..nandini held
manik's hand while saving navya from manik's
tortures..before that egg throwing incident...
CANTEEN :
Nandini was standing on the door..again she heard HIS
voice..
The day you first touched me,
something became alive in me,
this place has witnessed our 1st fight,
the fight which i made wide,
i tortured you a lot here,
and you thought i can't be fair,
let me tell you a secret my dear,
from always i wanted to be near,
that's why i followed you where ever you were...
A beautiful smile start playing on her lips..with the open
of that secret..and she can also sense the happiness in
his voice..the smile on his face as well..while telling her
the secrets..
She entered inside the Canteen..and she saw..all her
favorite food on the counter..from a chocolate ice
cream to her favorite pasta..from paysum to
dosa..from mixed fruit juice to lemon
water...everything was there..red and white heart
shaped balloons were scattered all over the floor ..she
smiled at his gesture...and again she heard his voice...
Manik : "ek baar pehle..i tried to made you drink that
dirty drink...am extremely sorry for that..so i thought to
mend a little..that's why brought everything you
like...we do have one good memory in this
canteen..remember that drunk night.."...and she start
remembering how she was about to kiss him that
day..she instantly start blushing..and he continued.."i
think we should make another one.."...he paused for
some seconds...but before he can shout..this
time..nandini took the charge and shouted all her heart
out..
Nandini : "I LOVE YOU MANIK".,...she shouted to the
fullest..and her voice echoed in the whole
canteen...and now she knows..the smile must be
playing on his lips as well..
Manik : "you never ceases to amaze me.."...she smiled
..and he continued..."now..i can't wait more..so come
there..where for the first time we put our egos in a side
and joined hands.."...and now it doesn't took a second
for her..to realize which place is it...
she ran outside and in seconds..she was
there...STAIRCASE...where they became partners for
dhruv and rishab's case..and from there only..there
love started blooming in their hearts..
STAIRCASE (Behind Music Winks) :
But when she reached there..there was no one..and no
decorations were there...she start looking here n
there..and just then heard HIS voice again..
Manik : "i know..you must be thinking ...why i didn't
decorated this area..so yes..i have a answer..because
this place is already decorated with our
moments..."...and she smiled remembering all their
days...and she heard his voice again...
This place marked our unforgettable journey,
when we were so called enemy,
till we were in love with each other madly..
I still remember,how you lied,
you lost your balance,
and i held you in my arms,tight...
(She remembered..how during rishab and dhruv case
..she lied to manik about the lost of earrings on the
staircase..but she lost her balance and he saved
her...and then they shared a very close moment...she
again start smiling..)
This place witnessed our JUST FRIENDS PHASE,
but the real feelings were on our face,
you were always so stubborn,
i wish i could press the pause button...
(She reminisced ..how while sitting on the stairs..manik
tried to kiss her..but she stopped him..by saying
"friendship mei yeh sab nahi hota" ...she again start
smiling broadly...)
This place reminds me of your trust,
for our relationship it was must,
i smiled that day on your words,
as i always wanted to heard...
(she remember how after drunk night..manik teased
her..and in return she said " i trust you"... and he just
smiled after listening to that...)
Manik : "come out now...i am dying to see you..don't
wanna wait more..come right there..from where our
story in real manner started.."...she start running
outside..she knows where he is...and in seconds..she
was there..
And yes..here He is..in the open area of space..where
once she punched him..and there story started from
there...he was standing on the same place..where she
had punched him..she start running towards him...she
hugged him tight and he lifted her a little..and swirled
her around..whole college cheered for them..fab-4
along with navya and abhi were also there..everyone
was hooting for them...there small family is very happy
today after seeing those love doves in each others
arms...
Nandini broke the hug..but was still in his arms...he
adjusted his mike ..which was on his face..
Manik : "I wanted you to cherish our past events..in
which we were together...from now on..whenever we
will look back..we will only remember our happy
times...promise.."...he asked her..and she happily
nodded her head in approval..
Manik : "now look at this place..it's the same
place..where once you had punched me in front of the
whole college..and now see the irony..."..but before he
could complete his words..she completed his unsaid
words..
Nandini : "that today i hugged you tight in front of the
whole college..that punch was out of anger and
pain...and this hug is out of love and bliss.."...she said
with a grin on which he gave her a content smile...
Now he made her out of his arms..and said..
this place has marked our starting,
i want to mark it as our new beginning,
yes..i want this place to mark our start of new life,
where i want you as my wife...
He smiled looking at her ..while she was shocked that
he said all this in front of whole college..he bent down
on his knees..and opened his palm in front of her..and
she was shocked to find that heart shaped box..which
she had given to him on her birthday 2 years back...
Manik : "i Manik..yes..simply manik...i want to ask you
holding my heart in my hand..love in my eyes...Will
..."...And his words never came out from his mouth as
her sudden action made him stun while others were
also shocked..
Nandini : "will you marry me manik... " ...she asked him
kneeling infront of him...and he was so numb to react
to it...yes..this girl always amazes him with her
antics...
Manik : "nandini...you wanted me to propose
you..but..."...he asked her still in shock..she made him
stand and cupped his face...
Nandini : "yes..i wanted..but i had never thought..you
will make it so special for me..from always..am your's
only..and now i can't wait any more...you did all this
for me...i just couldn't resist myself..from asking you
this,..."...she explained him looking deep in his eyes..
Now they both hold each other's hands and said in
unison "Will you marry me?..." ...they both answerd in
unison "yes.." ...and as soon as they completed..whole
college start clapping for them...while their small
family were having tears of joy in their eyes...and
MaNan hugged each other..
Nandini : whispered in his ears "you forgot one place
mr.malhotra..which has marked our love.."...he broke
the hug and gave a confusing look..she held his hand
and took him there...
while fab-4 along with navya and abhi smiled
broadly..when nandini dragged Manik with her...
In some minutes..the reached the place ...where for the
first time..nandini saw an other side of manik..she
opened the door and held manik's hand and entered
inside...

Nandini : "manik..this place..reminds me of your fear
and my mine too..yours of darkness and mine of
rats.."...she smiled looking at him..he turned his face in
left side and smiled at her...she held his hand more
tightly...
Nandini : "after that day only..mujhe laga..shayad mai
tumhe thoda thoda samjhne lagi hoon.."...she said
while reminiscing her words to navya that night when
they both got stuck in the store room...
Manik : "in this place only..first time i got drown in your
eyes...that day when i helped you to come down and
our eyes met...kuch tha..kuch alag tha us pal mei..but i
being a dumb head..samjh he nahi aaya..ki kya tha

front of him and encircled her arms around his
neck...and he hold her with her waist..
Nandini : "aur us din pehli baar mujhe pata chala
tha..that you had a mask on your face..yaad hai how
you shouted on me.."...he smiled and start reminiscing
... that how that day..nandini accused him for nothing and
he in anger told her that..he hadn't sent those goons to
her...and he also asked "why does everything thinks ki yeh
sab mene kiya hai"... his trance broke by nandini..
Nandini : "yaad aaya..pehli baar tumhare gusse ne ek
acha kaam kiya tha.."..she said smilingly and he held
her more tightly..
Manik : "really..humari story kitni ajeeb hai na..the girl
who hate stars..became a shining star for someone
else.."he said while tucking her hairs behind her ears..
Nandini : she put both her hands on her chest and said
"and the boy who used to be a monster became the
savior for the girl.."...she said smiling broadly...and he
smiled back..
He picked her up in his arms and start walking out
..without breaking the eye contact...he just don't
bothered ..how many people were watching them..he
just walked towards his car..made her sit in it..and
drove away...
