After manik had left last night, nandini studied for a while, but still her mind was deviating back to Manik.
The feelings that she had thought would subside with time, we're gradually increasing and she had no idea what to do. So in the end she has decided to just go with the flow. If something was meant to happen, it will happen all u have to do is wait.

Next morning nandini was ready and today would be the first time she would go in her own car ,the one gifted by shivaay,  she was excited to say the least.

But the excitement dropped as soon as she saw adi standing with preeti who were waiting for her. The events came rushing back and she was speechless.

Adi came ahead while preeti motioned to her that she would wait in the car

Ad : nandini about yesterday

N : yes

Ad : manik talked to me and I realized I was behaving wrong, I get it.i am sorry

Ad : it's okay infact I am glad u understood, and anyways u are going to be my favorite brother always.

Adi smiles and hugs her while nandini hugs him back.

She goes towards her car and leaves, adi following behind

Space academy

Nandini's car stopped at the parking lot and all heads turned towards her. She got down only to see her friends huddled together in a circle chatting.

Namdini went towards them.

N :good morning

Mu : morning nandini, u can't imagine what just happened

N : what

A : a label owner wants to sign us and today we are going to meet him.

N : that's great, congratulations

Nandini's eyes landed on Manik who didn't meet her gaze. Since she had come Manik had not even once  glanced at  her .she didn't know if she had done something wrong.

M : ah guys we should practice

Ad : practice??

M : Ya, he wants to listen to us live once before signing the contract

Aryaman came and took nandini's hand, Manik glaring and there hands

N : what is it aryaman

Ar : I need to tell u something

Nandini nods and goes with him, while manik is left looking at their direction. Manik also then leaves the place in anger.

N : why did you suddenly bring me here

Ar : actually the label owner who wants to sign Fab 5 ,he is my father

N : what

Ar : us and I only had recommend their name

N : so why didn't you tell that in front of everyone

Ar : because I don't want them to know, they might than think that they are getting this only because of me and they don't even know about it and I want to keep it like that

N : but today or tomorrow they will know, better say it now

Ar : are you sure

N : yes and I think they would be thanking you for this and not think anything else.

Ar : okay

Nandini then leaves to her class. Aryaman going his own way.

It was almost half day and nandini was going towards the cafeteria when she saw manik by the lockers.

N : manik

M : nandini hi

N : hi, I talked to adi and it's all good thanks to you

M : no worries

N : why are you behaving so weird

M : not at all, see I am busy so see you later,

Manik left on a hurry leaving nandini confused and due to her recent realization of feeling for Manik, she was hurt. Since morning Manik had not even talked to her ,he was avoiding her. She knew she had to do something about it. Without manik  everything felt incomplete.

Auditorium

Fab 5 were ready, niyonika along with the label owner was also present, it was a big deal, getting this label would enhance their carriers and everyone was excited, except Manik.

Manik was still not able to digest what he had heard yesterday, nandini she meant so much to him, he loved her so much and to think about her with someone else, manik could not even imagine.

Music has always been a part of him, he lost himself in it, and right now only music could take him away from the thought of nandani.

Fab 5 organized their instruments, students had started gathering around afterall they were quite famous and to listen to their song  live was a great deal.

Manik closed his eyes and started singing.

Tu safar mera
Hai tu hi meri manzil
Tere bina guzara
Ae dil hai mushkil

Tu mera khuda
Tu hi duaa mein shaamil
Tere bina guzara
Ae dil hai mushkil

Mujhe aazmaati hai teri kami
Meri har kami ko hai tu laazmi
Junoon hai mera
Banoon main tere qaabil
Tere bina guzaara
Ae Dil Hai Mushkil

Yeh rooh bhi meri
Yeh jism bhi mera
Utna mera nahi
Jitna hua tera

Tune diya hai jo
Woh dard hi sahi
Tujhse mila hai toh
Inaam hai mera

Mera aasmaan dhoondhe teri zameen
Meri har kami ko hai tu laazmi

Zameen pe na sahi
Toh aasmaan mein aa mil
Tere bina guzara
Ae dil hai mushkil

Maana ki teri maujoodgi se
Ye zindagani mehroom hai
Jeene ka koi dooja tareeka
Na mere dil ko maaloom hai

Tujhko main kitni
Shiddat se chaahun
Chaahe toh rehna tu be-khabar
Mohtaaj manzil ka toh nahi hai
Ye ek tarfa mera safar, safar
Khoobsurat hai manzil se bhi
Meri har kami ko hai tu laazmi

Adhura hoke bhi
Hai ishq mera kaamil
Tere bina guzara
Ae dil hai mushkil

As much as he wanted to forget nandini for a moment, he wasn't able to, how could he forget someone who was present in his each memory, unfortunately even music reminded him of her, her face coming in front of his eyes. Nandini was someone his mind related everything to.  He opened his eyes only to see nandini in front of him, for a second he didn't even realize she was real that she wasn't a part of his imagination.

As soon as the song ended, cheers and claps echoed breaking Manik's trance. He didn't even wait for the label owner, in order to avoid nandini he left, hiding himself from her eyes due to the crowd, he knew she was trying to reach him but still he went away

Nandini also left behind him, she had decided that she was going to confront him, ask what was wrong.
