Manan: Magic is in you (episode 28)

Hey guys…plzz do read my new ff Mana: true love never ends….first episode is out now …and also plzzz plzzz do comment…

It’s night… All are in their rooms…
Mukti and Abhi have just returned to their room after their regular meeting and have fallen asleep Nandini and Manik were pretending all the while to be asleep so that they aren’t caught… Now they feel the time is right…  They secretly sneak out of their beds and move towards Terrace…

She went up to terrace and looked around… She knew that Manik must have planning something or other as he didn’t get opportunity in the party… And his eyes were a proof that he wanted to do more than just the confession… So she changed… Checked White Cold shoulder shirt with denim hot pants and white sneakers… After all she is Nandini Murthy… She has to maintain her image of the best and she cannot afford to loop hole in her looks for any of the situation…
She looked for Manik all around the terrace… Then her eyes fell on her destination who was standing there smiling…

Manik was standing leaning on the railing waiting for his Ms. Fresher… At first he thought to go as he was after all he is Manik Malhotra… Every looks suits him… But then remembering his plans,he thought a casual get up would be a better option and what if Nandini looks better than him… Well of course she does but he has to look equal to her… He also went for a white tee and a blue denim… He reached terrace first and was waiting for Nandini when he felt her coming and smiled looking at the way…

As he expected… Nandini can never compromise with her looks… Her aim in life is to be perfect… And to some extent,she is a perfectionist… But he has a upper hand in potions…
Poor Murthy siblings… They are weak in potions but Nandini is improving really fast…
Manik looks at her without blinking… Everyone knows she is beautiful but suddenly or due to confession and realization,she seemed even more beautiful to him… He just thought whether Nandini knew that he has planned something… Well not a big deal… She is a mind reader… Moreover his mind reader,his Ms. Mystery… The one who captured his heart… She is bound to understand him…

Nandini was smiling all widely when she saw Manik waiting for her… His expression informed her that he very well approved of her looks… She chuckles seeing him staring at her like a romeo… That means she was right… Manik had definitely planned something as he was also dressed… Well they are definitely a perfect pair… Unknowingly,they colour coordinated… White with blue denim… She definitely has some connection with the guy standing in front of him… They are so similar yet different… Both can read minds,both are impatient,both are hyper,both react instantly… But… Where Nandini keeps smiling, Manik keeps frowning except for the past few days where he was busy flirting with her,where Nandini mingles with everyone except for Soha and group ?, Manik behaves a kind of introvert,Where Nandini is sweet smiling lady, Manik is the angry young man,where Manik is a guy of few words, Nandini speaks a whole lot, both react instantly but where Nandini acts in haste, Manik behaves in a calm, composed way…
In their difference also,they complete each other…

Manik (smiling) :Seems like Ms. Fresher has an increase in her attitude after wearing the crown… That’s why she is making them wait for whom she is special…

Nandini (blushing and smiling) :Seems like Mr. Fresher was too eager to meet Ms. Fresher so he was standing here even before the decided time so that he doesn’t misses the first look…

Manik smiles as he got an equally good reply… Another thing in Nandini he loves… She has the ability to make him quite which no one can…

Manik :Ready Ms. Fresher??

Nandini :Manik!! Stop calling me that… It feels weird… You can call me that in front of Soha… I would love to see her expressions but not here…

Manik :Ok… Nandini… Is that ok?

Nandini nods… Manik takes out his broom bike and makes it big…

Nandini :Manik… (He looks at her) wait… We can’t go out of Hecate… Specially at night… You know we are already attacked twice and I don’t want the third time at least for now… Mom Dad Amms and other professors are keeping an eye on us… Plz… We won’t go out…

Manik goes to Nandini leaving his broom suspended in air and goes to her… He puts his hand on her cheek…

Manik :I know Nandini… And even I am worried about that… Specially for your safety… So… Don’t worry… We aren’t going out… And you can’t fly off Hecate just like that… You have to go out of the boundary on feet…

Nandini :Oh! I forgot!! But Then this bike??

Manik :Have you ever seen the top view of Hecate at night??

Nandini shakes her head… Manik holds her hand and takes her to his bike…

Manik :Will I make you fall down??

Nandini smiles… So does Manik … He sits and holds the handle… Nandini sits behind him and holds the broom… Manik smiles mischievously… He moves the broom up from back using handle and Nandini slides towards him…

Manik :Now stop acting like other girls… I know you are not one of them…

Nandini smiles and holds him tight while hugging him… He holds her hand pulls her even more closer… She smiles… He also…
He starts his bike and they fly up…

Nandini :This is good about the broom bikes… They don’t make a huge loud noise when Started unlike the muggle bikes… You cannot really have a secret ride on them…

Manik :So have you ever tried secret drives??

Nandini :Of course… Though I was a minor but who checks late night… We… I mean me and Navu and sometimes bhai used to crawl our bike without any ignition upto almost five hundred metres then we used to drive late night along the beaches in Mumbai… Luckily Mom never got to know… Else to bike would have gone…and Dad he knew about it but he also knew that I wouldn’t get hurt until I want so he he knew about it…and you won’t believe when mom used to be here…dad used to join us sometimes…it was real fun…

Manik :You miss being a muggle??

Nandini :At times,I do… But being a witch is far more enthusiastic… Anyways I have lived eighteen years of my life believing that I was an ordinary muggle… All those magical novels used to fascinate me so much!! Now that I finally know that I am a witch,I want to explore this life as well…

Manik chuckles hearing her talks…

Manik :Look down once…!!

Nandini looks down and is mesmerized seeing the view… The Hecate lake is looking thousand times more beautiful in this full moon night… The crystal clear water with white water lilies is magnificently reflecting the night sky with those uncountable tiny twinkling stars and the beautiful full moon… The magical flowers around the lake are shining in the moon light giving coloured twinkling lights…

A spellbound Nandini murmurs :Mesmerizing!!!

Manik :Not more than you..!!

Nandini blushes…

Nandini :Will you take me there??

Manik :Why do you think I have brought you here..?

Nandini smiles and holds Manik tightly… Manik sweeps down his broom downwards in the direction of lake… He flies over the lake before landing… Nandini looks at their flying reflecting image in the lake water and blushes as it shows their sitting position… But… They looked good together… Infact perfect…

Manik takes his bike to the lake side and Nandini gets down… Manik also gets down and keeps back his bike…

(Music plays in the background)

Kissi sham ki tarah
Tera rang hai khila
Main raat ek tanha
Tu chand sa milla

Nandini moves to run to the lake but Manik holds her hand and stops her…Nandini stops as Manik holds her arm… She senses him coming closer to her… Her cheeks start feeling hot and turning red…
Manik comes to her and opens her hairs… He whispers in her ears…

Manik :Your open hairs suits you… You look even more beautiful!!

Haan tujhe dekhta raha
Kissi khwab ki tarah
Jo ab samne hai tu
Ho kaise yakeen bhala

Manik keeps looking at her in awe… While she stands there standing and blushing over his praise… The light breeze which was slightly touching their face caused her hairs to fly lightly… The beauty of night was best personified in form of Nandini… Her long hairs as the beautiful night,her face as moon and her shining eyes as twinkling stars… He comes closer to her and tucks her hairs behind her ears… His touch on her skin always causes her to close her eyes…

Toota jo kabhi tara
Sajna ve
Tujhe rab se maanga
Rab se jo maanga
Mileya ve

Nandini could feel her heart beat increasing and thousand butterflies escaping her stomach… It’s not that he has touched her for the first time,they have had more than just the touch on the first day itself but tonight was different as it displayed the unsaid feelings…
Manik kisses her cheek… She smiles and moves forward forgetting that Manik is still holding her hand…

Tu mileya toh
Jaane na doonga main

He stops her again and pulls her towards him… He lifts her face by her chin… She opens her eyes… They both look into each other’s eyes… They both see each other’s reflection… Manik smiles and leans in towards Nandini again closes her eyes… He kisses her forehead… Nandini smiles and hides her face in his chest and hugs him… Manik smiles and reciprocates her hug…

Haan maine suni hai
Pariyon ki kahani
Waisa hi noor tera
Chehra hai tera roohani

Nandini breaks the hug and goes to lake side… She sees her refection in the lake… Moon’s reflection is also visible beside her head…
Manik smiles seeing her and moves towards her… His reflection appears in the water beside moon… Now they are looking at their water reflection…

Nandini :Moon is looking so beautiful!!

Manik :Which one?? Wait let me clear my confusion…

He pulls Nandini towards him slightly and her face covers moon’s reflection…

Manik :Yes… The moon is looking very beautiful…

Nandini is falling for Manik every moment… And Manik… He is already head over heels in love with her…

Aa tujhko main apni
Aaja meri
Baahon mein chupa loon
Haan apni iss zameen ko
Kar doon main aasmani

Manik moves towards Nandini and moves her hairs to one side and keeps it on her shoulder… He keeps his head on her other shoulder and back hugs her holding her waist…
Nandini moves closer to him putting her hands over his and looking all the while at him through the reflection…
He slowly touches the lake a nd the lake turns into ice…except for the area near the flowers…Nandini was surprised to know that he is a cryionic…He holds her hand they both proceed towards lake…

Zindagi rok doon main
Ab tere samne
Pal do pal jo ruke
Tu mere sath main

Manik takes Nandini to the exact middle of the lake and makes her stand in front of her holding both her hands… There is a small water Lily just between them… Manik leaves her hand and kneels down on his one leg… Nandini is looking at him in amazement…
He carefully picks up the small water Lily from bottom holding it’s leaf from the water… Nandini is smiling… They start talking through their eyes… He asks her to touch the petal… She does so… What follows next,amazes her to the core…

Toota jo kabhi tara
Sajna ve
Tujhe rab se maanga
Rab se jo maanga mileya ve

The Lily opens it’s petals even more and spreads becoming big like a fully matured flower… The middle there was a solitaire which was shining brightly ever due to moon light…
She looks at Manik amazed… He asks her to pull it off… She follows his every instructions…
The petals detaches from the core of the flower and goes up in the air and bursting themselves and releasing pink magical dusts…
Nandini looks at the activities happening in the sky.. Manik also stands up to come beside her witnessing the scene…

Tu mileya toh
Jaane na doonga main

The magical dusts starts taking the form of alphabets and start arranging themselves… When finally done,they reveal the unsaid feelings of both the hearts…
I LOVE YOU…!!!
Nandini is ecstatic… She doesn’t have words… She turns to him and hugs Manik out of ecstasy… Meanwhile the dusts in the air turn back to numerous petals and it starts showering on them…

Itni bhi haseen main nahi hoon yaara ve
Mujhse bhi haseen toh tera yeh pyar hai

Nandini breaks the hug and looks at the showering petals… She enjoys them spreading her arms… Manik is also Happy seeing her happy… He goes to her and turns her around… She looks at him smiling…

Haan itni bhi haseen main nahi hoon yaara ve
Mujhse bhi haseen tera pyar…

He again goes down on his knees… He takes the ring from her hand and holds it in front of her asking permission… She nods happily…

Ye tere mera pyar ye
Jaise khwab aur dua
Haan sach kar raha inhe
Dekho mera khuda

He takes her left hand and slides the ring in her ring finger… He then kisses her hand… She spreads her other hand… He smiles looking at it and puts his hand on her hand…. She makes him stand up and cups his face going close to him… He also slides his hands on her waist and holds it…. She kisses his forehead… He smiles… She encircles her hand around his neck… He pulls her closer to him and merges his forehead with her…

Nandini :Manik …

Manik (closing his eyes while enjoying the moment) :Hmmmm….

Nandini :I love you too…

Toota jo kabhi tara
Sajna ve
Tujhe rab se maanga
Rab se jo maanga
Mileya ve

Manik at once opens his eyes and looks at her… She smiles looking at him… Happiness is visible in his eyes… He puts one of his hand on her cheek while other still on her waist…

Manik :What did you say?? Say again!!

Nandini :I love you too Manik…

Manik:Again…

Nandini :I LOVE YOU TOO MR. MANIK MALHOTRA!!!!!

Manik (cupping her face with both his hands now) :I love you three four five six seven eight nine ten and till infinity!!! I love you Nandini …

He again merges their forehead…

Tu mileya toh
Jaane na doongi main

They stand like that while the flower petals are continuously showering on them….

Nandini :Manik …

Manik :Hmmm…

Nandini :Won’t you kiss me???

Manik at once parts from her and looks at her shocked while she looks on with a cute innocent face…

Manik :Nandini!! I am going to have a tough time dealing with your deadly combination of innocence and boldness!!!

Nandini chuckles :The most desired girl of this college is offering to kiss you and you instead of obliging the offer, passing comments on me…

Manik :OK… So my girl wants her first kiss from me??

He pulls her closer by her waist… She encircles her hands around his neck…

Nandini :Manik… If by chance this happens,this will be third one in proper and fourth if we count the almost done one…

Manik (unbelievably) :What by chance??? This will definitely happen tonight… And everyday!!! Wait a min!! You were counting all the time!!!

Nandini :You see… I am Nandini Murthy… I have so many stuffs to look after so I need to keep the record of everything…

Manik :So… Ms. Nandini Murthy,be ready… Coz from now on, this department will not have any records coz you won’t be able to record it… If you are Nandini Murthy,even I am Manik Malhotra … And Manik Malhotra has the habit of breaking records…

Nandini blushes but manages to be bold :We will see Mr. Malhotra…

Nandini turns to go but Manik again pulls her… He leans in to her lips but she stops him… He looks at her puzzled…

Nandini :This is so ordinary and used to way!! I want my first kiss after relationship to be something unique… Just like the proposal and confession…

Manik :As my girl wishes..!!

Manik takes out his broom bike again… He sits on it and makes Nandini sit in front of him but facing him… She also sits close to him encircling her hands around his neck… They both smile looking at each other…

Manik :Ready Ms. Murthy??

Nandini :I hope that the experience is going to be as amazing as your imagination…

Manik :I think you forgot what I had said… I can be really wild while kissing… Well this time,you can replace can with will…

Blush is visible on Nandini’s face… Manik mutters another ‘Haaye’ and her cheeks are totally crimson again!!

They both fly up in the air… He stops his bike in the mid air and keeps it suspended…
He slides his one hand to her waist while other goes sliding from her neck to nape… She closes her eyes feeling him… He brings his lips closer to hers… Even she moves towards him… Their lips touch and they both feel a shiver…. Manik makes the move and sucks her lower lips… Nandini sucks his upper lips… They enjoy this foreplay kiss… Manik hears slow moans from Nandini … He gets the signal to take another step… He sucks her lips harder… Nandini now moves her fingers vigorously in his hairs… He is getting turned on slowly by her actions… Now Nandini literally moves towards him and he lifts her by her waist in the sitting position only and now she is on his lap in the mid air… Hugging him with her hands as well as her legs while kissing him wildly at mid night hanging in the air…
Manik bites on her lips… Nandini moans out of pain but Manik sucks her lips again to soothe her but she is Nandini Murthy!! Soon she took her revenge… Manik feels a slight pain but he clutches her waist very tightly pulling her more into him so that there is no space left in between them for even the air to pass…
Now he traces her lips with his tongue to seek permission… Which he easily gets and they both explore their mouth… War of dominance going on between the equanimous!! Finally when no decision comes out and they fall short of breath,they both part….
They both breath heavily looking at each other with equal intensity… Nandini still on his lap with her hands encircling his neck and Manik holding her waist… Their faces,only an inch apart…

Manik :I bet that if we do it one more time,I will loose my control over me… Your actions will activate the beast within me!!!

Nandini :Can’t you look at my condition?? You were literally trying to fuse my body into yours!! Do you have any slightest idea how good that feels while kissing!!! Even my hormones were being activated!! Thank Aiyyappa that we need oxygen for breathing else everything would have happened here in the mid air itself!!!

They both chuckle merging their foreheads…

Manik :Shall we leave now??

Nandini :I don’t wish to but I am sure bhai and Mukti will worry if they won’t find us… And it will a fuss… So we have to… But I am not going to change my sitting position…

Manik :Trust me… Even I won’t let you change that baby!!

He winks at her… She pecks his lips…

Manik :Ufff!! I am going to have a tough time controlling me in public…

Nandini :You should better learn it soon… Coz I haven’t planned to reveal this anytime soon…

Manik nods and starts his bike… They both go back to the Arete Hostle terrace… After giving each other a last good night hug and a short kiss,they both depart to their room….
