I wonder what was she trying to hide from me ?! What is the secret of her ?! The more I think I know her..the more she becomes mysterious…yes manik..u’ve fall for a mysterious girl who has too many secrets..I wonder when I’ll b able to say that I know my nandini inside & out !!
End of POV

It’s evening.. Everyone get ready for the party…nandini was wearing a black gorgeous saree which suited her perfectly…she curled the bottom side of her hair & applied some make up with red lippy…she was looking hot & also very pretty…

Manik was wearing a blue shirt with black blazer & black jeans..his hair was perfectly jelled up & had bracelet & watch in his hand..any girl will skip a beat after watching this killer look of his..

All guests started to arrive..nandini took a last look on the mirror & left from the room…

She went near the staircase & looked at the guests..she saw manik standing with nyonika & others…her heart started to beat fast watching manik..she checked him top to bottom & was mesmerized watching him…

Manik was talking to others when he overheart some guest’s conversation saying – ‘ look..nandini is looking so beautiful…isn’t she??’

Manik followed their gaze & saw nandini coming down…he was just lost in her beauty… He couldn’t take his eyes from her…he just wanted to steal her from the party & spend his all moments with her only…
Both shared an eyelock… Nandini came to Manik…

Manik : u r..looking very pretty..
Nandini blushed..
Nandini : thank u…
Nyonika : nandini..my daughter is looking fabulous today..come kids..I want to introduce u with some guests…

Nyonika took them with her & introduced them with some of her frnds & business partners.. All were complimenting Nandini..some male persons were even checking her out which irked Manik… He felt possessive towards her…

He pulled nandini into a corner…
Nandini : manik..what r u doing ??
Manik : see..how those idiots were checking u out..
Nandini : oh..so??
Manik : so means?? How dare them to look at u in such manner !
Nandini : hmm..something is burning…
Manik : what? What is burning??
Nandini : may b someone’s heart !!
Manik : shut up..don’t assume things..ok??
Nandini : ok…
Manik : I was trying to protect my frnd…
Nandini : yeah.. I know…
Manik : good…

Manik left from there making irritate face which made nandini giggle…

Cabir went to announcement…
Cabir : hello Ledis & gentleman.. Let’s make our party a bit exciting.. Itz tym couple dance.. So I rqst all the couples to join for couple dance…

Everyone clapped & cheered…..all the couples went to dance floor..

Nandini remembered her & manik’s couple dance & became numb..manik went to nandini & offered his hand..
Manik : may I have the honour to dance with this beautiful lady standing in front of me??

Nandini smiled at him & gave her hand into manik’s hand…both went to dance floor…all this while nandini was remembering their moments…

(I’m adding the title song of ae dil hai mushkil..do plug in on if possible..)

Tu safar mera
Hai tu hi meri manzil
Tere bina guzara
Ae dil hai mushkil…

(Manik kept his one hand on nandini’s waist pulling her close & with another hand he held her hand…)

Tu mera khuda
Tu hi duaa main shaamil
Tere bina guzara
Ae dil hai mushkil….

(Both looked at each other’s eyes & was lost in each other as if they were talking through eyes..)

Mujhe azmaati hai teri kami
Meri har kami ko hai tu laazmi…

(Both started to move according to the dance & were lost in each other forgetting the world..)

Junoon hai mera
Banu main tere kaabil
Tere bina guzaara
Ae dil hai mushkil…

(Manik twirled her once & pulled her close.. her back collided with manik’s front..)

Yeh rooh bhi meri
Yeh jism bhi mera
Utna mera nahi
Jitna hua tera….

(Nandini looked at manik & manik also looked at her while manik was hugging her from back..)

Tune diya hai jo
Woh dard hi sahi
Tujhse mila hai toh
Inaam hai mera….

(Manik kept his chin on nandini’s neck & nandini closed her eyes while both moved according to the music..)

Mera aasmaan dhoondhe teri zameen
Meri har kami ko hai tu laazmi…

(Manik left her & twirled her )

Zameen pe na sahi
Toh aasmaan mein aa mil
Tere bina guzaara
Ae dil hai mushkil…

(Manik pulled her close..this tym nandini was facing manik’s front…Manik kept his both hand on her waist & manik kept her both hand on his chest…)

Maana ki teri maujoodgi se
Yeh zindagani mehroom hai
Jeene ka koi dooja tareeka
Na mere dil ko maloom hai
Tujhko main kitni shiddat se chaahun
Chahe toh rehna tu bekhabar
Mohtaj manzil ka toh nahi hai
Yeh ek tarfa mera safar…

(Both were dancing in that state lost in each other’s eyes as if both were expressing their pain through their eyes…nandini’s eyes were numb & manik was trying to read her pain in her eyes…)

Safar…Khoobsurat hain manzil se bhi
Meri har kami ko hai tu laazmi..

(Nandini left him & was about to go but manik held her hand stopping her from leaving..nandini turned & looked at him..)

Adhoora hoke bhi hai ishq mera kaamil
Tere bina guzara ae dil hai mushkil

(Manik pulled her close by her waist & twirled her ..then he hugged her from back & moved according to the music looking at each other’s eyes..)

Everyone hooted & clapped for the couples loudly….Manan left each other…Nandini was feeling emotional so she left from there…

She went to a corner & saw her picture with manik in her mbl & remembered their moments.. When silent tears were coming out of her eyes…

She wiped her tears immediately when she heard Navya’s voice calling nandini…

Navya : nandini..u r here?! I was searching for u…
Nandini : why ? What happened??
Navya : woh..do u remember our school frnd ishana?? She is also here..
Nandini : really???
Navya : yeah..
Nandini : great !! Let’s meet her…

Nandini left with navya..they met a girl which was their school frnd…while talking with her Nandini felt thirsty… She excused herself & started to search something to drink..she saw a glass was kept on the table with some drink.. She thought it might b cold drink & drank it fully…

Manik was searching for nandini in the whole party..he asked navya & navya said nandini left saying she was feeling thirsty & haven’t come back yet…manik felt tensed for her…she searched her in the whole house…suddenly he heard someone laughing in the pool area…

He went there & saw nandini sitting near the pull & continuously laughing…
Manik : nandini..what r u doing here??
Nandini : manik !!! OMG !!! U r here?!!!
Manik : nandini…r u ok?? Why r talking lyk this??!
