Nandini's pov

Wow...what a beautiful journey it was.... and all the credit goes to Manik...I am getting to see a new shade of him... He shows the monster side to the whole world.... but he isn't a monster.... dheere dheere na i will know him more....

Look at him kitna cute lag rha hai ... he's sleeping just like a 2 yr kid....
"Aiyooo Nandu.. have u seen the time.... woke him up.."  snapped my inner me... But i didn't want to disturb his sleep....

Seeing the time.. I jumped like a squirrel.... and shouted...

"Aiyappa....its 7am .....and we have to return to the camp.."

"Nandini tum thik toh ho na" Manik asked worriedly

Shit my shout woke him up...

"I am sorry Manik..." and he gave me a   why kinda look

"I didn't want to wake you up.. but mere shout k waja se your sleep got disturbed"

"Chill Nandini...u don't need to say sorry for small-small things....Its absolutely fine...Wese bhi we gotta go now..."

"Hmmm... chalo..."

After few hours we were back to the camp.

In the hall

Cabir(singing) "Raat akeli hai..."

Navya(singing) "Bujh gaye diye..."

Cabir (singing) - "Aake mere paas...."

Navya(singing)- "Kano mein mere ...Jo bhi chaiye kahiye...."

Cabir(singing) -"Jo bhi chaiye kahiye...."

"What.... what are you guys doing..? " Manik n Nandini spoke together

Cabir- Kuch nahi gaana gaa rahe hain"

Manik-"Kyun... ?? No need to sing for us"

Cabir-"Us..? Maine kab kaha we were singing for you two"

Manik-"Mazak mat kar...Woh... We got lost in the jungle...and now we're very  tired, we need rest"

Cabir- "Haan poori raat jungle mein..tired toh hona hi tha...u know what i mean......"

"Cabirrrrr.... chup kar" glared Manik

Nandini- "Main...main...aa..aati hu...b...b...bye guys "

Navya- "Sharmaaa.. gayi hogi...mai bhi aati hu" 😉

Nandini's pov

What the hell were they doing.... singing song that too a romantic one in front of everyone.... So embarrassing...Only Manik can shut that Cabir up... and Navya ... Aiyappa woh bhi...

There was a knock at the door...

"Navya tum"

"Haan ..mai...tum itni shocked kyun ho? "

"No... nothing.."

"Wese Nandu .. kal raat ko kya hua .?

"Kya hua  aur...just we were lost...and isliye abhi aaye.."

"Woh toh mujhe pata hai... but raat mein kya kya hua....Tum or Manik.."

"Navya...ekdum chup ok...kuch bhi mat bolo..yaha you came to tease me..?" I stopped her from speaking

"Arey main toh bas..."

"Just leave...bahar niklo tum... mujhe rest karna hai..." I literally pushed her outside and she kept on banging the door and then i heard a few giggles before the noise stopped.

Aiyappa... this Navya is too much.. 😏

I went for the shower... and then took a short nap....  I was woken up by a loud banging on the door...

"Nandini khana lag gaya hai...aa jao niche" Navya was shouting from outside

"Haan....aati hun..."

In the dining hall.... all were busy eating..and Manik .. he was busy gobbling the chicken tandoori... "Awww so cute" poked the inner me

While we were having our lunch... Princi & Nyonika came and made an announcement...

"Guys today is our last day in this camp... so we need some celebration...And what can be more beautiful than your performance" said Nyonika

"Performance??? " We all asked in unison

"Yes aaj aaplogo ko evening mein group me perform karna hoga" informed Princi

"Shaam mein..???We haven't even practised " said Manik and we all nodded

"So what...you guys are the best performers and that's why you all are in SPACE.... Just have some rest... All the best guys" ordered Nyonika and she left along with Princi

"Yaar ye trekking kam tha kya....jo ab group performance..." grinned Cabir

"Guys ab jab Nyonika ne order de diya toh we have to... so let's meet in the evening n let's rock... " I tried convincing them

"But Nandini... practice..? "

"We'll pull it off... don't worry Manik"

"Yes...Jab Nandini ne keh diya hai toh...we will give our best..." Dhruv supported me and I saw Manik twitching his eyebrows

"Haan...Bhai don't worry...we ll do something...chalo ab let's go and have rest" Mukti suggested

Manik's pov

It was 7pm... We gathered in the lawn... Nyonika was already there with some guests who came to see our  performance.... I was a bit worried but Nandini's assurance made me positive

"So here is our group.... Come on guys start...All the best to everyone" boasted Nyonika

[Author's note - Here along with Manik, Harshad Dhruv Cabir Navya Nandini Mukti n Alya will be singing together...Harshad and Dhruv will be playing the guitars Dhruv the drums Mukti the keyboard Navya,Mukti & Alya will be singing the chorus  And Manik n Nandini are the lead singers]

So our group song started with Dhruv and Harshad strumming the guitars

Mere Maula Maula Mere Maula
Mann Matwala Kyun Hua Hua Re
Mann Maula Maula Mere Maula
Mere Maula

(Dhruv started)

Kis taraf hai asmaan
Kis taraf zameen
Khabar nahi khabar nahi
Ooohhhh
Jab se aaya hai sanam
Mujhko khud ki bhi khabar nahi
Khabar nahi
Hoooohhh

(Harshad was singing  with full attention on Mukti)

Hosh gul sapno ki mein bandhu gull
Aankh kab khuli
Khabar nahi khabar nahi
Hoo hoo
Kis taraf hai asmaan
Kis taraf zameen
Khabar nahi khabar nahi

(Dhruv was singing while gazing at Nandini and Manik was frowning)

Mere maula maula mere maula
Mann matwala kyun hua hua re
Mann maula maula mere maula
Mere maula

(Harshad was singing )

It’s got to be love
It’s got to be love
It’s got to be love
Got to be love,Coz it really got me going
It’s got me going
Got to be love,Coz it really got me going
It’s got me going
Got to be love,Coz it really got me going
It’s got me going
Got to be love,Coz it really got me going
It’s got me going

(Chorus by Navya Alya n Mukti)

Jaane kab kahan kaise
Tere ho gaye kaise
Hum toh sochte hi reh gaye
Aur pyaar ho gaya

(Manik started singing looking at Nandini)

Mere khwaab dil saansein
Mill ke kho gaye aise
Tujko dekhke aisa toh
Kayi baar ho gaya

(Dhruv was singing again staring at Nandini.... and it irked Manik)

Tu kahe, dil yeh tera hi rahe
Aur kya kahun
Khabar nahi, khabar nahi
O..
Kis taraf hai aasmaan
Kis taraf zameen
Khabar nahi, khabar nahi

Mere maula maula mere maula
Mann matwala kyun hua hua re
Mann maula maula mere maula
Mere maula

(Manik signing without even a blink and staring continues)

Aayega woh is intezaar mein
Ud chala dil wahan, sapne jahan mein janu
Lagta hai woh mere kareeb hai
Aisa kyun hai magar,dhunde nazar beqabu
Hosh gul sapno ki mein bandhu gull
Aankh kab khuli
Khabar nahi khabar nahi
Hoo…

(It was time for Nandini to sing.... She was singing while looking at Manik but was trying her best to hide from being caught by Manik )

Kis taraf hai asmaan
Kis taraf zameen
Khabar nahi khabar nahi
Ooohhhh

(Manik started singing again)

Jab se aaya hai sanam
Mujhko khud ki bhi
khabar nahi
Khabar nahi
Hoooohhh

(Dhruv was singing)

Hosh gul sapno ki mein bandhu gull
Aankh kab khuli
Khabar nahi khabar nahi
Oooohhooo
Kis taraf hai asmaan
Kis taraf zameen
Khabar nahi khabar nahi

Mere maula maula mere maula
Mann matwala kyun hua hua re
Mann maula maula mere maula
Mere maula

(While Manik sang the last lines.... everyone was lost in their own world... Manik staring Nandini n vice versa.... Navya & Cabir stealing glances... Harshad n Mukti lost in each other ..... And and Our Dhruv and Alya at Nandini n Manik respectively )

As the performance ended there was a big round of applause for our performance....
