Dil ye mera bas mein nahi
Pehla kabhi aisa hota tha nahi
hmm..
Dil ye mera bas mein nahi
Pehla kabhi aisa hota tha nahi

Kuch dinon se meri bhi sunta nahi
Tu hi bata iss dil ka main ooh uff main kya karoon
Main kya karoon.. (keeps repeating)
Karta.. aawaargi
Iss pe toh dhun chadhi, hai pyar ki
Naa jaane, gum hai kahaan?
Baaton mein hai pada, bekaar ki
Karta hai awaargi
Iss pe toh dhun chadhi, hai pyar ki
Naa jaane gum hai kahaan?
Baaton mein hai pada, bekaar ki
Ulti ye baat hai
Aise haalaat hai
Ghalati kare ye, main bharu!
Uff dil ka kya karoon
Main kya karoon

Dil pe mera, kaabu nahi
Fitrat kabhi iss ki aisi thi nahi
Tu hi bata.. iss dil ka main ab kya karoon
hmm.. Kehne pe, chalta nahi
Kuch dinon se, meri bhi sunta nahi
Tu hi bata iss dil ka main ooh uff main kya karoon
Main kya karoon.. (keeps repeating)
He smiles imagining Nandini smiling…
His chain to thoughts was broken by the sound of steps.. he quickly kept his guitar back into the cupboard…
Cabir, Laksh and Sanskar entered the room…
Laksh:Manik you woke and came early here…why???
Manik:Actually I did not wanted to make Nandini embarrassed…
Sanky:for what…

Manik chuckled…All went and got ready for the match…
They all were wearing loose blue tank tops which are for boys and also barmuda shorts with shoes….even though they only had natural muscles (guys they are still in class 9 so plzz understand what I mean)…all four were looking hot….
They came out of there room and Navya and Swaragini also came and joined them… all three of them were also wearing loose blue tank tops and sweatshorts and shoes and were all looking breathtaking with their high ponytails..
Laksh, Cabir and Sanskar had their jaws dropped looking at Ragini, Navya and Swara respectively…
Ragini and Navya slightly blushed at their stear…Swara went to Sanky and closed his mouth…
Sanky:Swara do you want to kill me or what?? Yaar…
Swara blushes:shut up sanky…and playfully hits his arm…
Sanskar hugs her and whispers:you are looking dame hot baby…
Swara’s cheeks turned red more…
Manik:ahem…ahem…guys the room is still open if…and smiles mischievously..
Others giggles…
Sanky to avoid embarrassment:where is choti.. girls??
Ragini:woh she is coming…
Manik was impatiently waiting for her to come out of the room…and he was more eager to see her…
MANIK’S POV

Navya:so…I guess you found a new member for our team huh..
Looking at Manik..Boys nodded…
Cabir: woh kya hai na Madhubalaji…hum ne socha jab hamere pass apke bhai pehle se hi mojud ho toh…fir kisi aur ko kyu liya jay…
Others giggled listening to Sudh hindi from Cabir whereas Navya glared at him…
Manik:what?? Madhubalaji…nice name haa… Navya even I will call you that…and started laughing…
Navya:bhai you can call me Navu like others… not what this Cabir said…and again glares at him…
Nandini shouts while coming out of her room: bhaiyo, Lucky bhai, Cabir bhai there is a big problem….we…don’t…have…our…eighth… member…now what…(she was panting heavily)
Cabir and SanLak rushed to her….
Laksh:choti first breath…breath in breath out…
Nandini did so and now she was breathing normally…they hugged her tight…Manik and others were adorning them….
Sanky:no choti..we found our eighth member…
Nandini:really who???
Laksh:Manik…
Nandini:what why him???..and frowned…
Cabir chuckles a little seeing her frown and says:Choti he can play basketball…so we offered him to join that’s it…
Nandini:bit before that he has to show us his skills..than only…
Ragini:but why Shona??we used to take people with just basic skill…and he is telling na that he knows how to play than…
Nandini glaring at Manik…:but I don’t trust him…what if he is involved with our opponent…
Manik:oh…come on Miss.potato…and why will I do that…
Nandini:I don’t know but…I just know that I don’t trust you….
Manik felt a pinch of pain in his heart unknowingly listening to this…but he was determined…
Manik:oh no problem you can check my skills..
Nandini:ohk so…we will have one on one…and if you are able to score even one basket… you can join us…
Manik:oh…but with whom…
Nandini:WITH ME..
All the others were shocked as they knew how well she plays even none of them can defeat her..
Swara:oh comeon Shona you are joking right??
Nandini:no baby…I am dame serious about it… if he scores one basket playing with me he can join us happily…and I won’t even say a word..

She stamps her foot and goes out…

Manik:why??
Cabir:ever since we have met I always wanted to do that…get on her nerves…
Sanky:yaa seriously salute to you man…and all the best…
Swara:yaa…come on we have to also warm up after their match…
All nodded and went towards basketball court..
Nandini was already practicing…she was dribbling the ball by bending low and them shooting and each time she did this the ball went and directly fell into the basket…she did not even missed one shot…
All came there and saw her…especially Manik..
MANIK’S POV
This girl is something…only she has that guts to make me quiet…What the hell am I speaking… nobody is still born to make me quiet..especially not this Miss.potato…wait a second I hadn’t noticed her first…she is wearing tank top and sweat shorts…but but but on top of black full sleeve t-shirt and leggings…but why…hey Manik why do you care whatever she wears…but why is she wearing this…maybe uncomfortable with short clothes.. but if so than how is she wearing her uniform.. wait a second yaa I remember she was wearing trousers and t-shirt all the time not the uniform….but why???
END OF POV
His chain of thoughts was broken by Cabir..
Cabir:chal buddy it’s your turn to show your skills to choti…
Manik smirked and nodded and went inside the court…
Swara shouts:bhai all the best…
Manik just smiled…
Sanskar:Swara you never told me All the best before any match…not fair yaar…
Swara:Sanky don’t be jealous…he is my bhai… and anyways you need not be jealous coz I am only urs…Swara is only of Sanskar….
Sanskar was overwhelmed:and Sanskar is only of Swara…
The other four smiles seeing there love for each other…Sanskar goes behind Swara and back hugs her and keeps his chin on her shoulder…Swara smiles at his gesture…
Ragini:Navu…look how happy Swara is…
Navya:yaa Rags..after all sanky loves her soo much…
Ragini nods…Laksh hears this and goes behind Ragini and back hugs her…but due to sudden hug Ragini jerks and hits her elbow on Laksh’s stomach…
Laksh:awwooo..Ragini wat did I do why did you hit me??
Ragini:its your fault you suddenly came and back hugged me…and it was just a reflex…
Cabir:Lucky be aware of this Lady Bheem man …
Laksh nodded holding his stomach…
Navya:ok ohk..now let’s see this two they are starting their game…
All saw towards MaNan….
Manik:Miss.potato let’s start…
Nandini:sure Mr.over confident…
They started playing…when Nandini was dribbling Manik came and snatched the ball.. seeing this the other 6’s jaws dropped…
Swara:Sanky am I seeing the same that you are seeing…
Sanskar:yaa…did he just snatched the ball from Choti…even I can’t do that…
Other four nodded in agreement…
Manik was giving a though competition to Nandini and even she was not less…it was 15 mins since the game started but none of them could score…
Manik while dribbling the ball:Miss.potato if I shot and you are not able to prevent me from scoring you have to do what I say…and we you are able to than I will not play match with you guys…deal???
Nandini:deal…
Manik went pass Nandini within seconds and did a lay up shot and the ball went in…
Nandini:oh no….
Manik jumped…and came to Nandini…
Manik:so Miss.potato what do you say???
Others also joined them…
Cabir:I must say you play really well…
Sanky:yaa he is just like…ahmmm….yaa just like male version of Choti…even some what in his behavior also…
Swara:bhai we must say..we have to know your hidden talent…so tell us what more have you hidden from us…
Manik:well…you will get to know but for now I would like to hear what Miss.potato has to say about me…
Nandini instantly saw towards him…in his eyes…
Nandini:well I must say you play very well…just to good…
Manik felt very happy listening to this…and a wide smile came on his face…
Manik:so you remember the deal right??
Nandini nodded…
Manik:so you just have to confess something really important to elites…not me but to them…
Nandini saw towards others than again at him…
