He took rest ice creams & kept them at the refrigerator…
Then they all sat on the couch..they decided to wach an horror movie.. Though nandini was feeling scared but still she didn’t show it to anyone as they’ll tease her..
They switched off the lights & started to watch the movie…
Manik asked her several tyms if she was comfortable with the movie..she said yes…
Movie began…nandini was getting scared but still was trying to stay strong… But she couldn’t do that for long..she got too much scared watching a scene & held manik’s hand unknowingly..Manik looked at her & smiled…
He side hugged nandini..he kept his one hand on nandini’s shoulder & with other hand he held her hand tightly…
Nandini was looking a bit relaxed after then…

Nandini looked at him..
Manik : if u were so scared then why didn’t u tell us before.. I asked u na…

Manik : ok…
Manik kissed her cheeks..he side hugged her tightly..nandini also hugged him back & kept her head on his shoulder… Manik also continued talking to her so that she feel less fear…
Finally the movie gets over…
