Manan : It’s You ~ my firefly

Nandini was driving the car…she was driving fast & crying… Suddenly she stopped the car…

Nandini : everyone was r8..he killed my parents.. I still had some doubt.. I couldn’t blv that person killed my parents whom I treated lyk my father..that’s why I wanted to know it from him..how could he?! Just for money & fame?! Didn’t he think about his sister for once?! Didn’t he think about me even for a moment?! How can a person b so cruel?! I wish it would b my bad dream..I really wish…

Nandini cried a lot…then she wiped her tears…

Nandini : it’s getting late..I have to go..manik & bhai must b worrying for me…

Nandini started the car again..after half an hour he reached at abhi’s apartment…

Nandini in mind : bhai & manik must b very angry on me..what’ll I do?! Come on nandini..go & face it…

Nandini rang the calling bell..navya instantly opened the door…

Navya : nandu !!!

Navya hugged her tightly..
Manik also came out from the room listening the sound of the bell…

Nandini came inside…

Mukti : nandini..where did u go suddenly ???

Nandini looked at abhi..then manik..both were angry…& looking at her for answers…

Cabir : & that msg?? What was that?? Nandini …say na…

Nandini : I went to khurana house to meet uncle…

Everyone were shocked…

Abhi : seriously nandini??? U went to meet him without even informing us?? Why ?? If something had happened to u then?? U didn’t even think about us na???
Nandini : sorry bhai..forgive me..if I would tell u..u wouldn’t let me go..but I needed some answers from him..
Mukti : but why suddenly now???
Nandini : woh..when I was lying in the room then I got a msg..then….

Nandini told them everything…

Abhi : nandu… He called u..& u left without any kinds of protection ?!
Nandini : sorry bhai..it was really necessary for me..plzz forgive me..I prmiz I will never ever repeat it..plzzzz!!!
Abhi : pakka prmiz??
Nandini : nandini prmiz..
Abhi : OK…
Nandini & abhi hugged each other…

Then nandini looked at manik..
Nandini : manik…

Manik left from there & went to the room…
Abhi : go & pacify him..he was very tensed for u…
Nandini went to the room…

Manik was sitting on the bed..Nandini sat beside her…

Nandini : Manik…
Manik : I don’t want to talk to u nandini.. Just go from here…
Nandini : but manik…
Manik got up from bed..
Manik : what manik?! Why should I talk to u?! U don’t have trust on me na???
Nandini : what r saying manik?! I trust u…
Manik : if u would’ve trust me..u would’ve tell me…but u left without saying anything to me?! Why?? Didn’t u have that much trust on me that I will understand u & support u???

Nandini was silent…she was looking down & crying…

Nandini : sorry manik…
Manik : don’t..don’t say this sorry…
Manik left from there & went to balcony…
Nandini also went there & hugged manik from behind…

Nandini : manik..plzz I’m sorry..plzzz…don’t say that..I trust u..u also know that..I trust u more than I trust myself…I just wanted to face it alone..by myself…I know I’ve make a mistake.. I will never repeat it..plzz manik.. Don’t stay angry with me..I won’t b able to tolerate it..
Nandini was crying badly…

Manik’s anger melt down listening her words..he couldn’t stay angry anymore… He turned to nandini & hugged her tightly…nandini also hugged him back tightly..

Nandini : I’m sorry manik..
Manik : do u have any idea how much worried I was?! I was dyeing every single moment..I was getting flashbacks of ur kidnapping & so many bad thoughts were coming in my mind..I was feeling so helpless nandini.. Don’t u dare to do it again..if u do it again na..I won’t forgive u…
Nandini : I won’t do it again..prmiz..I’ll always inform u & share everything with u…I’m sorry..
Manik : itz ok…

Manik left her & wiped her tears..nandini also wiped his tears which came out unknowingly…
Manik cupped her face & kissed her forehead…

Manik : let’s go..everyone must b waiting for us…

Manik was about to go but nandini held her hand…

Manik : what??

Nandini came close to him..she cupped his face & came more close to her…nandini slowly went close to his lips..then kissed him..manik was taken aback by her sudden act..but he also started to response soon..manik also held her by keeping his hand on her waist & pulled her close..it was a passionate kiss which assured each other that they will never apart & always b there for each other..they will never leave each other..

After a long kiss both left each other unwillingly as they were out of breathe.. They joined their heads closing their eyes…after sometime manik opened his eyes & looked at nandini..

Manik : Nandini…
Nandini opened her eyes slowly & looked at his eyes…
Nandini : hmmm…
Manik : I love you…
Nandini smiled : I love you too manik..
Manik : shall we go??
Nandini : OK..

Both left from there hand in hand…

At the drawing room everyone were tensed..they were thinking if everything sorted between manan or not…

Manan came out of the room smilingly & holding each other’s hand…

Cabir : look..here we r tensed for them..they r coming smilingly & happy happy…
Navya : it’s good that everything sorted between u both…
Manik : learn something from ur gf..
Everyone laughed & cabir made an whatever face…
Mukti : so..let’s start the party…
Everyone hooted…

They played the music & danced together…

Khurana Mansion :

Kishore was walking here & there restlessly..
Kishore : no..I’m not a looser..I’m a winer..yes..
He remembered nandini’s word…

“Didn’t u feel shame while killing my parents?! She was ur own sister…
u killed them just for money & fame?!!
Jst remove ur so called pride from ur eyes & face the reality..
u had everything.. But now look around..u have nothing..Ur son has also left ur house..U r a looser…”

Kishore screamed saying noooo….
He broke a vass out of guilt & anger…

He cried & fell on the floor…

Kishore (cryingly) : yes..I’m a looser..I lost my everything… I became blind for money & fame…what have I done ?! My own son left me..my niece who considered me as her father I sold her for my own interest..i killed my own little sister & her husband..Sulochna!!! My sister !!!

He roared & cried a lot sitting at floor.. But there was no one to console him….

Abhi’s house :

Everyone stopped dancing & sat on the coach..they all were tired & panting…

Mukti : it was so much fun..
Cabir : yeah…
Navya : but what next??
Cabir : let’s play truth or dare..
Manik : no no nooo…

Manik : I’m not afraid..OK?? It’s just that I don’t trust u about dare..u can give anything…
Mukti : bhai.. Plzzz na..let’s play..
Nandini : plzz manik….
Manik looked at mukti & nandini..then said – ok f9..just for u both…
Everyone : Yaayyyy!!!

Navya brought a bottle & everyone sat on the floor making a circle…

Cabir took the bottle & twirled it…it stopped on abhi…everyone hooted..

Abhi : yeah nandu.manik is r8..no need..
Cabir : yeah..u can back off..but if u back off now..u’ll b a looser..
Nandini remembered about kishore..then she agreed out of rage..
Nandini : ok..I’ll drink it..
Cabir,navya,mukti & abhi were shocked.. They thought Nandini will back off & they will tease her as they used to do in the past…
Manik : r u crazy?!

Nandini : rlx..nothing will happen…
Cabir gave her a glass of vinegar..nandini drank it though manik tried to stop her…
After drinking nandini felt queasiness & immediately ran to washroom & puke…
Manik also went behind her.. He was knocking the door of the washroom..
Manik : nandini.. R u ok???
Nandini : yeah manik..

After sometime..nandini came out from the washroom… Her face was pale & she was weak..manik made her lie on the bed & made her drink some cold water…
Manik : what kind of a stubbornness is this?! I told u not to do that..
Nandini : I’m fine manik..
Manik : yeah..I can see that..
Manik gave her a chocolate & told her to eat it
Manik : u take rest here..I’ll b back..

Manik came out of the room… Cabir went to him…
Cabir : I’m sorry manik.. I didn’t know she will really drink it …
Manik : I warned u…every fun should b in it’s limit…
Mukti : bhai..we usued to do all these in the past also..we used to give Nandini an weird dare..& she wouldn’t do that & we teased her for it..I wonder how nandini agreed today…
Navya : yeah..manik..that’s why we supported cabir for that dare…
Abhi : they r r8 manik..
Cabir : sorry manik.. I didn’t do it intentionally…
Manik : itz ok cabir..
Both hugged each other…
