Summer break has always been my favourite . But not this time . This time I'm anxiously waiting for my GATE and CAT score , which shall decide my future . Business has always been my passion .
Sighing I take out the last box from truck and pass it to my dad ......
" Hey ball please ! " I hear an handsome stranger ask . I look down to see a football near my leg , I kick it towards the stranger and walk inside my new house .
It was midnight when I wanted to complete reading my novel . But suddenly there's a power cut . Sighing I keep the book on its desk and go to my adjoining balcony only to see that there's power cut only at my house while rest of the surroundings are enjoying the invention of Thomas Alva Edison .......
" Hii , I'm manik ! " I hear a voice saying . I didn't know if I should speak with a stranger so I keep quite .
" We already met in the morning beautiful ! You forgot me ? I'm hurt ! "
But in the morning I didn't meet anyone , except the football guy . As I remember the football guy , current comes back and I'm in front of the football guy who introduced himself as Manik . I've never been good at speaking with strangers so , I simply go inside and close the balcony doors . After few minutes , I peep through my curtains to see him still standing there . He catches me peeking through curtains and he smirks .
ThE next day comes by soon which I've been waiting for a long time . Today's the release of Kabali , a movie of my favorite superstar Rajnikanth ....... I sigh disappointedly when I don't get tickets for the premiere show .

" Tickets madam , tickets.... 1 ticket 500 ₹ ." I hear a man who's busy selling tickets in black .

" Give me a ticket ...." We both say at the same time . I look up to see the owner of the voice when ,

Hii !! stranger , I'm manik remember....
The guy looks at us and tells us that he exactly has two tickets and that too seats next to each other .
I start thinking if it's good idea to watch this movie with this guy but then again it's kabali . I can't miss the premiere show for the world and also the movie is for 2.5 hours . So , I can manage right ....

Yes , I was right . I could manage the movie by focusing on rajnikanth than his nonsense . But again he was also a big fan of Thaliva .

Hey , how are you planning to go ? He asked .
Hmm....bus may be . I answered unsurely .
Why take bus when I can drop you at home .
I start thinking of his offer . Seeing uncertainty in my eyes . He said , you can trust me . I'll never break it . I don't know what prompted me to accept his offer , but I did .

As promised he safely dropped me at home and waited for me to enter the house . As a matter of fact I liked his attitude . Before closing the door I told him something that he desperately wanted to hear . My name ....
Manik , I'm nandini . Saying that I closed the door and went to my room smiling like a love sick teenager .

After that movie ,  manik and I became close . We started hanging out a lot . Though we didn't name our relationship , it felt right . After few more friendly dates , manik and I became bold enough to kiss each other .

Few days later was his birthday when he said that he  didn't want to die virgin and wanted to give me his virginity  . I didn't think manik to be a virgin at 21 but then at 20 even I'm a virgin .
His way of asking me to sleep with me impressed me and in that excitement I agreed to it . That night was the most memorable night of my life and also the turning point of my life .

After that night , manik became even more attentive and possessive . Though we didn't name our relationship , I liked him caring for me .

Everything was perfect until I received my joining and acceptance order from Harvard university . My dream university to complete my business administration . I didn't know how to break this news to manik because for one I can't leave my dream university and for two I don't know if long distance relationship would work ......

I start playing with Manik 's hair as he fell asleep on my lap . I have to tell him about this soon .

The next day i go for grocery shopping with dad and mom . By the time I return to room , there was a furious manik standing there ready to pounce in me .

Hii Manik ! I start the conversation only for him to show me an envelope and with deadly calm voice he asks me ,

When were you planning on telling me ?
Were you Even going to tell me or leave me just like that forgetting about me like I never existed ?

Hearing him accuse me , I snapped at me saying it was none of his business . Manik left from window as usual making me regret snapping at him .
I followed him to his home and apologized for not informing him before and that we could still be in touch .

" Promise me , you won't find yourself a boyfriend or lover . The only lover you'll take in youR life is me . " He said so seriously .

Is it some new way of asking out ? I teased . Only for him to pull me to him and kiss me roughly .

Yes was his only reply . That night was again filled with one of our sweet love making memories .

After a week I left for Harvard university. Mom and Dad were proud of my achievement . After my parents left , manik came from behind . He didn't say a word but hugged me tight conveying all his feelings and longings in it .

By the time you come back , you'll be proud of me just like I'm of you . Stay safe were his last words before I got into flight .

**************************

" Mam you can't go inside . " Sir will be really angry . Please mam .....

But I could care less about his anger . I enter the room to see all the 5 of them posing for their upcoming album .

Seeing me manik runs towards me and pulls me for a passionate kiss .

I'm only happy to oblige . We both kept our promises of not dating anyone else . Manik visited me in regular intervals and Skype and face time always kept us connected .

Sir , I tried to stop her ....... Manik 's secretary voice stopped seeing me and him kiss like harmonal teenagers .

She has all rights to meet me at any moment she wants Navya . Next time I don't want you to stop her ever , came his cold reply .
I rolled my eyes at his rudeness but then again he fulfilled his promise of becoming successful and asking my hand for marriage from me and my dad . Yes , now he isn't that careless and irresponsible boy . He's a rockstar who's very responsible and dedicated to his work .
He even made me the CEO of Manan musicals even after my refusal to start from beginning . According to him , I should only be under him and not others . When I asked if he referred to his bed , he simply stated that I've a dirty mind ......

I love you , he said after his secretary and other fab4 members left .
I love you too . Hamesha . I said to which he just kissed my forehead and said hamesha .

This is how I fell in love with a mere stranger who now owns my heart .
