Avoid mistakes if any. No proof reading.

After Manik left the room, Nandini looked around and than opened the cupboard to pick up a towel but saw that the cupboard had few T-shirts, jeans and tracks. She picked one and looking at the size and realised that's it's of Manik's size and than her mind worked and she understood that it's Manik's room that he gave her so easily.

Before she could ponder over things, there was a knock at the door, Nandini opened the door to see the butler wheeling her bag in the room. Keeping that he was about to leave when Nandini stopped him and asked.

Nan-yeh Manik ka room hai na?

B-Ji........yeh baba ka room hai.

Nandini simply bobbed her head and the butler left. Thinking of why he did that, she freshen up and came down at the dining table and saw Manik waiting for her over there. They exchanged smiles and than Nandini sat. Butlers filled their plates and left from there.

Nandini couldn't eat coz her mind was filled with that thoughts and she decided to voice it. So she looked up at him, who was chewing his first bite, still she asked.

Nan-Manik !

Hearing her, he looked up at her and saw her confused eyes. Having his attention, she continued.

Nan-the room that you gave me is yours!

Manik got a bit conscious coz he didn't wanted her to know that, all he wanted was her comfort and happiness. He decided to be clear this time in this relationship and that's why he said.

Ma-you liked that and were comfortable too...........so that's why I didn't object.

Nan-will you be comfortable in another room?

Manik smiled at her concern which he felt after like almost 4 months. He said after a moment.

Ma-Nandini..........I hardly come here so it won't matter that I sleep there or in any other room.

Nandini hhmmed in acknowledgment and than asked.

Nan-are you sure?

Ma-yes totally.

Nandini gave him a warm smile and started eating. At the mid way of eating, she again called him and once his attention was on her, she said being hell hesitant.

Nan-I like you Manik...........I mean.........when I saw you first after loosing memory........I started feeling something but was scared to come close.........but now that you have said that words........I want to say this........I like you.........but don't know about love.........may be with time things would change.

Hearing the like word, Manik's heart started beating wild. He was on cloud nine coz they have come ahead even if it's one step. He couldn't stop smiling and had the whole lunch like that and seeing him smiling, Nandini too couldn't stop smiling.

After lunch they decided to take some rest and that's why they came in their individual rooms. Nandini slept in no time but Manik couldn't sleep and to add up more, fab4 arrived soon which is why he came down to receive them.

Seeing him all alone, cabir asked about Nandini and got to knew that she is sleeping, so fab5 were having their snacks and talking about their album practice. It was around 7.00 pm when Nandini woke up feeling fresh. She got fresh and came down not remembering about fab4 being here too.

So until she got down, she was all cool but when she saw fab4, she became self conscious, she started stealing glances and was hesitating to come close to them but cabir initiated and bought her close to them. They exchanged pleasantries and were trying to comfort her but Nandini couldn't make peace with Dhruv and Aaliya coz of their feelings towards them (Manan).

They all had dinner together with Nandini hardly exchanging words and Manik giving her enough time to mingle up with fab4. Later after dinner, cabir suggested to have drinks and talk with Nandini, so they were sitting on the floor, their backs resting on the couch, close to tea table with drinks and juice and were talking with Nandini about their past.

Cabir was saying all funny incidents of Manan which made fab3 laugh and Nandini was surprised hearing that. Manik was a bit embarrassed but at least these conversations were making Nandini comfortable with the rest.

Along with that, after every incident Nandini would look at Manik to get a nod from him which would confirm that cabir is saying the truth and this was seen by everyone. It was clear that at this moment Nandini is badly reliable and trusting on Manik only.

Manik was happy too that at least Nandini trust him enough. The night went on and all were tired now which is why they decided to end this night here only. So Manan climbed the stairs while the rest were going in different directions from living room as their rooms were down only.

Manan coming in front of their room's door, both looked at each other and smiled faintly. It seemed like both wanted to say something but were hesitating. They looked at each other than looked down and than again looked at each other. Giving up the thought, Manik wished.

Ma-good night.

On which Nandini too wished him back sweetly yet softly.

Nan-good night.

With this they entered their room and shut it. They changed into their night suit and Manik came on the bed. Taking a comfortable position, he closed his eyes to sleep coz since morning he haven't rested.

While Nandini after changing sat on the edge of the bed still thinking. After 5 mins of war btwn her thoughts, she got up and came out of the room. She opened Manik's door and luckily it was not locked. She came in and saw Manik's eyes closed.

Maybe he slept she thought, so that's why she softly came on the bed and again started thinking but didn't let her thoughts consume much time. She squeeze closed her eyes and laid down beside him.

Coming extremely close to him, she softly picked up his right arm and wrapped it around her neck. Manik was just a moment away from getting into deep slumber when he felt a touch and by the time he opened his eyes, Nandini had wrapped his hand around her neck.

With drowsy eyes he saw her in his arms and smiled brightly. He shifted a bit and pulled Nandini more to him and they took a comfortable position. Getting comfortable, Manik couldn't hold but slept while Nandini was not feeling sleepy coz she slept in the afternoon.

So she started looking at Manik's face. The calm and peace on his face, his fair skin and his key black stubble, the mole on his upper lips and the fragrance coming from his clothes. His heavy mane and his white forehead. The tip of his nose and his dark lips. Everything of him attracted her way too much.

Nandini couldn't think of his deeds at this moment coz she was badly lost in his features right now and they were making her fall for him beautifully. Unknowingly Nandini slept after some good time.

Next morning, Manan woke up beside each other. They looked at each other and than Nandini sat back first. Putting a hair strand behind her ear, she spoke hesitatingly.

Nan-woh kaal raat.

Manik smiled at her and said.

Ma-do you want me to shift your bags in this room...........with me?

Hearing that Nandini's head snapped at him to see him having a beautiful smile on his face. Nandini unintentionally blushed. Her cheeks turned pink and warm and Manik smiled more. She was trying not to blush but couldn't help. She said a soft yes and than looked away.

Manik smiled more and than he got up from his place, he came down and asked the butler to shift her bags in his room, while Nandini entered her room and than took a bath. Luckily she took her clothes in and when she came back, she saw the room to be clean.

She came back in Manik's room and found her bag there but Manik was not there. She heard water running and understood that Manik in taking a bath. She sat on the bed and called up chachi.

She had a normal conversation and when she was still talking, Manik came out in his towel. Nandini felt a bit shy and thought it's wrong, which is why she came in the balcony and continued talking while Manik got changed. Once done, he came to call her and just at that moment Nandini ended the call. They came back in the room and Manik spoke.

Ma-well.........for your information..........you have seen me naked too.

Hearing that Nandini's eyes went wide, she was shocked and Manik further said to clear his words.

Ma-naked means except from my private part..........you have seen me without clothes. Woh bhi ek baar nhi...........kahi baar.

Nandini was more shocked and asked with doubtfully tone.

Nan-how? And when?

Manik than told her the incidents of the time of bully, mostly the swimming pool times and once when she was his spot, she saw him in towel. Hearing all that incidents, Nandini was getting okay coz those were not on purpose but the situation was like that.

After this conversation, Manan came down to have breakfast and fab4 were waiting for them. The breakfast was a silent affair and than later fab5 had scheduled their jam session, that's why they were supposed to jam now. So Manik came up Nandini and said.

Ma-Nandini..........I have to go for jamming............will you be comfortable by than?

Nan-yes Manik..........don't stop your work for me.

Ma-tumhe kuch chahiye toh kisi bhi butler se mang lena..........okay! I'll be back soon.

Nan-okay.

Manik bobbed his head once and than Nandini made way to their room, while Manik was coming out in the garden for jamming but before that he asked the butler to give some filter coffee to Nandini after some time.

He joined the jam session and Nandini came in the room and sat in the balcony, looking around or maybe going through everything happening around her. Suddenly her life has changed completely. The fab5 to whom she was looking from far since months now, were so close to her at one point of time in her life.

Life has changed after getting to know that Manik was and is an important part of her life. The moments they shared were so many and important too. It had shaped their lives, it shaped their relationship.

She was in middle of thoughts when the butler came with coffee for her in a tray. He came to her and said.

B-ma'am your filter coffee.

Nan-par meine nhi mangaya.

B-woh baba ne bola k aap k liye bana lu.

Hearing Manik, she gave him a faint smile, took the mug and thanked him. Butler left the room and Nandini realised that Manik knows about her coffee thing but she doesn't remember how. Again she started thinking that if she wouldn't have lost her memory, things would have been different btwn them.

While she was busy in thoughts and sipping her coffee, just diagonally opposite to her, down, fab5 were jamming and for 10 mins Manik was not aware of it. After 10 mins, he saw Nandini in the balcony, sitting comfortably and looking around.

He became self conscious now and unintentionally started making mistakes which was bringing abrupt halt in their practice. Having enough of it, cabir asked.

C-kya ho rha hai Manik?

Manik looked at him with a scrunched up face and said softly.

Ma-what if she doesn't like my singing?

C-who she?

Manik was silent and cabir started looking around and fab3 followed his gaze. Soon they found Nandini and Manik saw that fab4 saw Nandini. Cabir said after understanding everything.

C-it's not the first time she is listening to you Manik..........even post her memory loss......... infact tu yeh jo silly mistakes kr rha hai na...... that will ruin your image now.........so focus dude focus.

Understanding his words, Manik bobbed his head and they started jamming again with Manik being careful with his instruments.
