Next day Manan were in college. Nandini was attending lectures and Manik was jamming with cabir. After sometime cabir asked manik.    

C-waise yeh Q label ko album kab submit krna hai?

Manik was thinking abt it when the door opened and they saw Nandini entering. Manik got attentive towards her while Nandini came to him and then after a sec of silence she said.  

Nan-Manik I wanted to say something.    

Manik bobbed his head saying "go ahead" while Nandini then said.    

Nan-tum Q label ko album kab submit karoge.........Manik I think you should not delay this anymore.........I still feel that k tum jitna isse khichoge you will land up in trouble just submit them and finish it off.......    

Before Manik could say yes and assure her cabir said.     

C-toh Manik aaj fab5 se discuss kr lete hai....... waise bhi tuje upar se order aaya hai........nhi? 

  
Manik made a bad face to cabir and then said to Nandini.     

Ma-don't worry I will tell you soon......   

Nandini bobbed her head in "understanding" and before they could share further moments fab3 entered so Nandini said.     

Nan-mei chalti ho........   

She nod her head and moved out of jam room and muklya didn't like her being in their jam room but didn't say anything to Manik. After jamming a little Manik raised the question of submitting album and they all discussed abt it.     

Finalising a date Manik called up Khurrana and told him they are ready to submit the album. Khurrana was bugging fab5 abt the album but Manik was always making an excuse and delaying it which is why Khurrana was badly depressed and gvg the threat of cancelling the deal was not in his hand coz fab5 had Soha's video so Khurrana was badly helpless in front of them and now that Manik have agreed he could take peaceful breathes.    

Fab5 had a meeting with Q label and 10 days later Day was fixed. In the meeting Manik had openly warned Khurrana not to play any trick while recording or else he will spread the video like fire and it won't take a min for them to come on roads so there was no way Khurrana could plan anything against fab5.     

Everything was set for the album but just 6 days before their recording the whole Q label office building caught fire at night. It happened coz of some broken wire. The incident occurred  at night and by the time Khurrana got to knew abt the fire half of his building was badly burnt.     

Which is why Q label have now gone bankrupt. Fab5's album got delayed and understanding his situation Manik didn't trouble him further. Khurrana has assured him that he will keep the deal on coz in a way with fab5 album release he will get good profit but it is delayed for 6 months from now.   

Now that album is delayed fab5 has enough time in college and fab4 cannot blame Manik too coz he was ready to submit the album but Khurrana only got ruined. Fab5 would make music and all. There was competition going to be held in college. The Talent Hunt and fab5 have enrolled their names.      

Days went on passing and now a days Manik comes an hour late at college and if he is on time then he is vanished at evening and with passing days Nandini's exams days have started.      

She have successfully completed 2 exams and right now she is sitting in library and studying/revising the subject for which she have to give exam tomorrow. It was around 3.30 pm. Manik was done with his lunch and jamming. He called up Nandini.

Nandini's phone was on vibrate and in her pocket. She stopped her study and took out her phone to see the caller. Seeing Manik calling she ended the call and opened her WhatsApp to send him the msg.     

She was typing when again her phone rang, she ended the call and again she continued writing the message under the table hiding from the librarian. Manik called again and again Nandini ended the call and finally msgd him.     

I m in library can't pick up the call. I m studying.     

Manik who was dialling her number again saw her msgd so he ended the call before it could connect and read the msg after opening it. Seeing her msg he made his way towards library.    

He reached library and started finding her. He found her digged in her book so he came beside her and pulled a chair making a screeching sound. Already the library was quite and now his sound echoed gaining every single persons attention. Nandini too looked up and found him sitting.      

Ma-tum mera pho........     

Nandini palmed his lips coz his tone was quiet loud that all could hear and on the other hand the librarian started staring at Manan. Still keeping her hand on his lips Nandini whispered to him.     

Nan-don't make noise.........warna librarian hume bhar phek degi.......     

Manik moved her hand and said.     

Ma-I don.......    

Nandini again palmed his lips and again whispered.     

Nan-don't shout........plz I have to study........   

Gvg up Manik again moved her hand and then sat quietly for 5 mins. He then whispered.     

Ma-tumhe kitna time lagega aur........?

Nandini looking in her book replied in whispering tone.      

Nan-I will sit here till the end of college day...... I have to study for tomorrow's paper........     

Hearing this Manik felt tired so he rested his head on the table. (Like we did in school when teacher use to say us to put our heads down). He relaxed for sometime and then he holded Nandini's ryt hand in his under the table to have her touch on him.      

But after 2 mins Nandini pulled back her hand and Manik looked up for the reason and found her writing something in her book. He waited for her and once she was done her hand was free so again Manik pulled her hand in his and this time with pen.      

Again after sometime Nandini pulled back her hand to write so Manik pushed back his chair to get up and unintentionally the screeching sound came grabbing everyone's attention.    

Manik realised that what he did and immediately got up. Then he picked up the chair and kept it on its place without making noise. He came to left side of Nandini and picked up the chair and placed it down without making noise.      

He sat there and pulled the chair for his comfort keeping in mind not to make noise. He kept his head down and now pulled Nandini's left hand entwining with his under the table. Nandini didn't pull back her hand now.        

She kept on studying and Manik was adoring her non stop. Unknowingly hs slept in the same position. After her slept 15 mins later Nandini's eyes fell on him and saw him fast asleep.      

She paused her study and for a brief moment looked at him. She caressed his face from her ryt hand along with smiling. After that she continued studying.     

At 5.30 pm the college bell rang a clear indication that college day is over. Nandini looked up and each student were packing their bags. She turned to Manik and called him caressing his hair.      

Nan-Manik.      

He was in deep sleep so didn't wake up instantly. Nandini had to call him thrice and finally she got his reply.     

Ma-hhmmm.........   

Nan-wake up........college khtm hogaya.     

Ma-hhhmm........    

He came back in senses when he heard lots of screeching sounds. He opened his eyes to see this source of noise and realised that he is in library. Well as it was leaving time students were free to make noise in library so that is why there was lots of noise.       

He sat and looked around and realised that they are in college/ library. He came to Nandini who was studying and slept there only. He looked around and saw Nandini closing her books and packing her bag.     

He rubbed his face to let go off the sleepy look and stretched his hands to free his muscles. Nandini got up so he too got up and followed her. He saw Nandini walking in the direction of librarian and walked with her.      

He saw a mini line of students with books in their hand just like Nandini. They waited in the line for 2 mins and soon Nandini was on the counter. He looked and saw Nandini returning the book and librarian gvg her back her library card so he understood that it was line for books return. Taking that they exited the library and finally Nandini said.     

Nan-aachi padai hogai.......ab agar ghar ja k raat ko thoda dekh lungi toh subhe padhne ki tension nhi........    

Manik just yawned and lead her way towards the washroom. Nandini looked and saw that she was standing exactly infront of boys toilet and she realised that where she was.      

She moved back and luckily nobody saw her. Manan looked at each other and Nandini raised her eyebrows to Manik so he said to clear her thoughts.      

Ma-mei fresh ho k aao.     

Nandini bobbed her head in embarrassment and Manik entered in. He got fresh and washed his mouth and then came out with wet face. While cmg out he removed his handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his face. He came close and saw Nandini leaning to the railing wall and sipping water.      

He reached to her and kept back his handkerchief while Nandini took another sip. Her mouth was filled with water and she offered Manik the bottle who took that and emptied half of the bottle in single sip.      

Nandini gulped her water when Manik was drinking and then he gave her back the bottle. She took a mini sip and then closed the bottle. They headed down to leave the college. Cmg down Manik said.      

Ma-kuch khane chalte hai.......    

Nan-okay.......    

They sat in his car and Manik left the college. After they were driving smoothly on main road Nandini said licking her lips.      

Nan-pani puri khane chalte hai.........   

Ma-no ways.........tumhari exam hai tumhe street food nhi khana chahiye........tumhari tabiyat khrb hogai toh........    

Nan-sidhe sidhe bolo na k tumhe woh unhygienic lagta hai.....     

Manik hidingly made a face of being caught and then not to argue further he remained quiet. After sometime she saw him parking his car and far in front of her was Mc Donald's.    

She kept her bag on the back seat and both got down. Manik locked his car and came beside Nandini and entered in with holding her hand.      

They entered in and were finding a place for them coz Mc Donald's is always full. Luckily he got a corner sit of two so they walked there and Manik pulled the chair for her. He made her sit and then asked.      

Ma-kya khaogi?

Nan-Mc veggie meal le lo na........usmei fries aur coke bhi aajayega.     

Ma-okay.      

And he headed to the counter to buy their food. He had to wait coz there were 2 ppl ahead of him. Nandini was looking around to find a family, gang of friends, couple and colleagues. All were enjoying Mc Donald's.     

On the other hand Manik placed the order, paid for it and waited till his order was served. Once his tray was full he walked to Nandini with the tray. He placed the tray infront of Nandini and then sat on his chair opposite to Nandini.     

Nandini opened their sauce sachet and removed in the cup for them. They started eating their fried dipping in the sauce. Manik then opened his box of burger. Looking at it Nandini asked.     

Nan-yeh kya hai......    

Ma-Mc maharaja.........    

And he took a bite of his burger.      

Done for today......bye bye.
