Hello Fam :)
A small note - I don't know about everyone but mostly introverts tend to 'overthink'. Maybe because they don't talk to people much, they don't have many friends and they don't have people who call them 'beautiful' or compliment for the person they are. It's not the fault of people around them but introverts. They love their single life way too much that when someone tries to enter it, it creates a chaos in their life along with lots of questions.
I request everyone. Please, try to understand what Nandini is undergoing and why she is struggling with her emotions.
Happy Reading...
Manik takes Nandu inside and makes her sit on the bed while settling himself beside her. He takes a deep breath before holding her hand softly.
Manik(worried): What's bothering you, Nandu?
Nandu(shocked): I was the one to promise you an infinite number of chances. That song was for me. All these songs are for me, right?
Manik(whispered): yes, Nandu. Yes. All these songs, that song, my heart, and I. We all are yours since our school time. Since the time I saw you again in my office. Since the time, I realized I can't afford to lose you again.
Nandu(restless): All this is so confusing. Why? When..
Manik(cupping her face): Nandu, just relax. Stop panicking. Ok? Let's take it one topic at a time. All I am trying to say since yesterday is only one thing. I belong to you, Nandini. I have always. I love you, Nandu.
Nandu(pleaded): Manik, this is wrong. We are two different people.
Manik(sternly): So, you don't love me.
Nandu(looking down): No.
Manik(stated): You don't love me and you can read my eyes. You blush even by my simplest of simple lines. You panic seeing me sick. You cry when I suffer. You pray for my happiness. Above all, where on one side you can't wait to stay away from people, you freaking write a whole book on me, right?
Nandu gaped at him in shock as he took her diary out from the drawer of the table beside.
Manik(questioned): This diary, it's yours, right? And this name, Manik Malhotra, I guess there's no one else who shares the same name as mine. And this doodle, this heart beside my name. Yeh sab kya hai, Nandini?
Nandu(frightened): Where did you get this from? You aren't supposed to read this.
Manik: Guess what, I already did. (Takes a deep breath, he speaks softly)) Nandu, I am not someone who would force my feelings on the other person and not definitely when it's love. After you left the concert yesterday, there wasn't a moment when I didn't curse myself for doing that to you. Yesterday, at night, I came to your house to apologize. To ask for a second chance for our friendship but I accidentally saw this. I was beyond shocked to see my name on it and hence, I took it to my home. I am not even feeling guilty after reading this. These words gave me a hope, Nandu. Why are you now taking this away from me?
Nandu(bursts out): Because you are nothing but a dream for me. A dream I am afraid to even wish to be true and have always adored you from a distance. I am used to this, Manik.
Manik(hopefully): But now when I am promising you to turn your dream into reality, why are you backing away, Nandu? What's stopping you? This diary is your heart, right? And when it's just me inside this diary, why can't we be together?
Nandu(hopelessly): Why aren't you getting it? We aren't compatible even. You are the Manik Malhotra, my boss, a rockstar. And me? Well, I am just a clumsy human being who's difficult to be with. I am complicated and I am confused about my own self. I get tired of humans and my mood swings. I will ruin your life, Manik.
