A girl was sleeping peacefully in her room .

Her sleep was disturbed by the constant ringing of her phone.

The girl got irritated and lifted the call.

Girl- Hello...... who the hell is this ?

The person on the other side of the phone - Nandu.... tu abhi tak so rahi hai. Bhool gayi aaj hamara exam hai.

Nandini got up immediately with a jerk.

Nandini -

What ????

Exam !!!!!!

Oh God Mukti mai to bilkul hi bhool gayi thi.

(The girl who was sleeping was Nandini and the other girl was Mukti)

Mukti - Acha ab Jane de. Jaldi se ready hokar neeche aaja. Mai wait kar rahi hu.

Nandini - Ok abhi aayi. Give me 10 min.

Nandini got ready in no time and rushed down.

Nandini - Mukku.

Mukti turned back and saw Nandini.

Both of them sat in the car and drove to the examination centre.

Mukti -

Nandini what the hell is this?

How can you forget that today is your exam?

Nandini made an innocent face and said - Mukku wo main kal soha ki party me gayi thi. To isiliye bhool gayi.

Mukti - Tum bhi na Nandini kamal karti ho. Tum Janti ho na Soha kaisi hai fir bhi tum uski parties attend karti ho.

Nandini - Mukku comeon . Don't start it again. Pehle hi main tension me hu. Aur tum mujhe aur tension de rahi ho.

Mukti sighed and said- Ok fine.

They reached the examination centre.

Mukti- By the way kaunsa subject hai aaj tumhara.

Nandini - Oh shit!!!!!!!

Mukti - Kya hua?

Nandini - Mujhe to pata hi nahi aaj kaunsa subject hai.

Mukti - Congratulations........ Tab toh ho gayi tum pass.

Nandini - Taunt mat karo. Aur batao mai kya karu.

In the meantime a guy came to Mukti and said- Mukti ye lo tumhara hall ticket. Tum ghar pe bhool gayi thi.

(Manik's look)

Mukti bit her tongue and said- Thanks Bhai. Jaldi me mai bhoolgayi.

The guy was Manik, Mukti's brother.

Manik - Ok. But Next time be careful.

Mukti - Ok Bhai.

Manik looked at Nandini and was mesmerised by her beauty.

Nandini too looked at Manik but ignored him as he was not a guy of her type.

Manik wore spectacles and applied oil in his hair which gave his hair a sticky look.

Nandini just like other girls ignored him due to his looks.

Mukti - Bhai apki help chahiye.

Manik - Haan bolo...

Mukti - Ye meri friend hai Nandini. She didn't prepare for the exam.
Toh please aap uski help kardoge please. You both have the same paper today.

Manik - You mean to say that I have to help her in cheating.

Mukti - Haan Bhai please.... warna wo fail hojayegi.

Manik looked at Nandini.

Mukti - Nandini bol na ....

Nandini made an innocent face and said- Haan please help kardijiye na. Apka ye favour mai kabhi nahi bhoolungi.

Manik melted seeing Nandini's innocent face.

Manik - Ok.

Nandini - Thank u thank u so much.

Saying this she went inside the examination hall.

Manik smiled seeing her excitement and followed her after wishing good luck to Mukti.

In the examination hall-

Fortunately for Nandini, her seat was exactly behind Manik.

Manik showed her the entire paper.

Nandini copied it checking from time to time if the invigilator was seeing her.

The examination finished and Nandini heaved a sigh of relief.

She went outside the examination hall and waited for Manik.

Manik came out after five minutes.

Nandini - Thanks so much aapne meri help ki. Agar aj aap nahi hote toh pata nahi mai kya karti.

Manik - It's Ok. You don't have to thank me.

In the meantime, Cabir came to Nandini and asked - Hey Nanz how was your paper. Saare questions ache se answer kiye na.

Nandini - Haan Cabir. The paper was just awesome.

(Cabir was Nandini's friend)

All thanks to Manik who helped me in the exam.

Mukti also came by then and heard that Nandini had written the paper very well with Manik's help.

Mukti - Thanks Bhai. You are the best.

Cabir - To Nanz chale......

Nandini - Haan Chalo...

Saying this she went with Cabir and Manik went with Mukti.

Manik turned and saw Nandini walking away with Cabir.

Nandini too looked back and found Manik already looking at her.

She smiled at him and went away.

Days past by and it was now the time for the results of the examination.

Nandini was very nervous as she didn't want to fail in the examination.

She checked the results online and jumped in joy as she had got 98% in the exam.

She thought to thank Manik personally.

Nandini called Mukti and asked for Manik's number.

Mukti said that Manik had left for London to complete his further studies.

Nandini felt bad that she couldn't thank Manik properly.

Years passed by and Nandini slowly started to forget about Manik.

Nandini joined her father's business.

She was doing very well in the business.

Meanwhile in London -

Manik had completed his studies and was returning to India after 3 years.

He didn't forget Nandini even for a second.

Manik was happy that finally he will get to see Nandini after so many years.

He was not the same boring Manik anymore.

The nerd with sticky hair and thick glasses was transformed into a hot handsome and sexy guy.

(Manik after transformation)
Girls were ready to die for his one look.

But Manik had only one girl in his mind and heart - Nandini.

Since the Time he had seen Nandini at the examination centre, there wasn't a single day when he didn't think about her.

Finally he was going to meet her. The love of his life NANDINI MURTHY.

Everyone in the Malhotra house knew about Manik's love for Nandini .

Manik's parents had secretly fixed Manik and Nandini's wedding and wanted to give them a surprise on Manik's return from London.

Finally the day arrived when Manik came back to India.

Murthy Mansion -

Nandini's Mom came to Nandini's room to wake her up.

Nandini - Mom please let me sleep.

N.M.- Nandu uth jaa Beta. Aaj teri engagement hai.

Nandini got up with a jerk.

Nandini - Engagement????

N.M.- Haan Beta.

Nandini - But Mom itni jaldi kya hai. Mujhe abhi apna career banana hai.

N.M.- Mai kaunsa tumhari shadi karwa rahi hoon. Bas engagement abhi karlena aur shaadi baad me karlena.

Nandini - But Mom aise achanak......

N.M.- Achanak nahi Beta mai saalo se soch rahe the hum log. Ladka bahut Acha hai. Tum humpar trust karti ho na.

Nandini nodded her head in a yes.

N.M.- Toh bas bharosa rakho humpe. Hum kabhi tumhara bura nahi chahenge. Ab jao jaldi se ready hojao.

Nandini went to freshen up and got ready in a dress selected by her mother.

Nandini came down and saw the Malhotras sitting in the hall.

Nandini to her mother - Mom ye Mukti ke Mom Dad yahan....

N.M.- Haan Beta inhi ke bete se tumhari engagement fix ki hai humne.

Nandini - Matlab Manik se.....

N.M.- Haan.

Nandini - No Mom mujhe nahi karni ye engagement.

N.M- Beta ek baar mil to Lo usse.

Nandini - Mom milna kya hai. Mujhe MANIK se nahi karni engagement.

Manik came inside and heard their convo.

Manik - But mujhe to tumse engagement karni hai.

Nandini turned to see who was the person who was disturbing their conversation.

Nandini - Tum kaun ho aur yaha kya kar rahe ho.

Nandini's mother left both of them alone.

Manik - Waise Nandini mujhe nahi pata tha ki tum itni beautiful hogayi ho.

Nandini - Listen tum Jo bhi ho. Just leave.

Manik - Aise kaise hosakta hai ki mai tumse bina engagement kiye yaha se chala jau.

Nandini - What???? Meri engagement to Manik ke sath hone wali hai.

Manik - Haan to Manik ke sath hi to ho rahi hai tumhari engagement.

Nandini - Iska MATLAB......

Manik - Matlab ke mai hi Manik hu.

Nandini got happy seeing Manik's changed Avatar.

Nandini - Manik...... Tum kitna badal gaye ho. Maine to tumhe bilkul bhi nahi pehchana.

Manik smiled seeing Nandini's excitement.

Nandini - Maine tumhe results ke din phone Kia tha to thank you. But tum London chale gaye .

Manik - To Ab thanks kardo.

Nandini - Thank y.......

Manik - Ruko ye kya kar rahi ho.

Nandini - Thanks bol rahi hu.

Manik - Mujhe aisa thanks nahi chahiye.

Nandini - To fir Kaise thanks karu.

Manik while coming close to her- you have to thank me in my style.

Nandini - Matlab.

Manik came dangerously close to Nandini and said- Matlab aise.....

He was about to claim her lips when Mukti entered and immediately turned to the other side and said- Bhai Nandini tum log ye sab darwaza band karke karsakte the na.

Nandini blushed hearing this.

She was about to run away from there when Manik held her hand and pulled her towards him.

He hugged Nandini from back and said- Mukti Ab hum to yeh sab open me karsakte hai coz we are getting engaged and very soon will be married.

Mukti - Hawwww...... Bhai ..... isse Pehle ki atmosphere aur hot hojaye mai jaati hu. Aur ap dono jaldi neeche aajana. Sab wait kar rahe hai.

Manik - Ruko Mukti hum bhi aate hai.

All three of them went down.

They exchanged rings with the blessings of elders.

And got married after a year.

Done......

This was a short and simple love story of MANAN.
