Manan : It’s You ~ my firefly

It was morning.. The sun was shining brightly..nandini was sleeping peacefully in her bed..a smile was also there in her face…but soon the sun rays disturbed her peaceful sleep..she opened her eyes..she checked the tym & got up from bed & went to washroom..she took bath & got ready in a purple dress..she applied pink lipstick & light make up..she made a simple bun with her hair.. & went downstair for breakfast… She greeted Nyonika & Mukti.. She noticed manik was not there in the table..she wondered where was he…she asked nyonika…

Nandini : aunty..where is manik? Won’t he join for breakfast??
Nyonika : I don’t think he will join..cz he is sleeping..& no one is allowed to disturb his sleep…otherwise he gets really angry..moreover,tomorrow he will go to office.. So let him enjoy his sleeping today..
Nandini : oh…okay…
Trio had their breakfast with a little chit chat… After that nyonika went to her NGO & mukti went to meet abhi..

Manik was sleeping in the bed..nandini was getting nervous if he gets angry then ! She gathered her courage & prayed to her ayiappa..she went near the bed & sat beside him..
She called him..but he was in deep sleep..he was sleeping lyk a baby..nandini found it cute & was staring at her..she touched her face with her hand & manik smiled in his sleep..nandini became surprised watching this..she blushed a bit..she called manik again..
Manik in sleepy voice : let me sleep nandini..don’t dstrb..
Nandini again started thinking what she should do..she got an idea..she took a glass of water & sprinkled some water in his face..manik got up with a jerk..nandini got up from the bed & started laughing..
Manik : nandini !! What was that??
Nandini : that was water.. U don’t know??!!!

Nandini was crying…
Navya hugged her immediately..
Navya : don’t cry.. We won’t leave those wicked persons..we will surely punish them & everything will b alright…

In the hall :
Manik & cabir was sitting in the couch…
Manik : what r u thinking?? Why r u so upset ?!
Cabir : u know..when u told me about her..I thought it can b our nandini for a while..but instantly removed that thought as I couldn’t even imagine such worst things will happen with our nandini.. She was so adorable & cheerful person.. How can someone b so cruel to do this with her ?!!
Manik : I understand cabir..when I also watched nandini..I also felt the same..
Cabir : I just want to give a tight punch to that man’s face..
Manik : it won’t b enough for the crime they have done..I’m just feeling lyk killing them..but I can’t..

Zehnaseeb, Zehanaseeb
Tujhe chaahun betahasha zehnaseeb

(Manik was amazed listening nandini’s voice..)

Mere kareeb, mere habeeb
Tujhe chaahun betahasha zehnaseeb

Tere sang beete har lamhe pe humko naaz hai
Tere sang jo na beete uspe aitraaz hai
Iss kadar hum dono ka milna ek raaz hai

(Manik was lost in nandini’s voice & felt as if she was telling this to him..nandini tapped on his shoulder to sing the nxt line..)

Huaa ameer dil ghareeb
Tujhe chaahun betahasha zehnaseeb
Zehnaseeb, Zehnaseeb
Tujhe chaahun betahasha zehnaseeb

(Nandini got up from bed & started walking towards balcony & started singing)

Lena-dena nahi duniya se mera
Bas tujh se kaam hai

(She turned towards manik & both looked at each other)

Teri ankhiyon ke sheher me
Yaara sab intezaam hai

(She started coming towards manik)

Khushiyon ka ek tukda mile
Ya mile gham ki khurchane

( she sat beside manik & sang the nxt line..)

Yaara tere mere kharche me
Dono ka hi ek daam hai….

(Manik was smiling & was remembering all their cute moments)

Hona likha tha yunhi jo huaa
Yaa hote hote abhi anjaane mein ho gaya
Jo bhi hua, hua ajeeb
Tujhe chaahun betahasha zehnaseeb

Zehnaseeb, zehnaseeb
Tujhe chaahun betahasha zehnaseeb
Hua ameer dil ghareeb
Tujhe chaahun betahasha zehnaseeb
Zehnaseeb, Zehnaseeb
Tujhe chaahun betahasha
Tujhe chaahun betahasha zehnaseeb

(Both finished the song remembering their moments & with a smile on their face..)
