Avoid mistakes if any. No proof reading.

Seeing the crazy people dancing around on loud music made Nandini to look at Manik who was looking around. They were at the beach which had a party going on. It didn't seem like some private party coz connected to that was a resort. A big big resort and this party seems to be like a daily affair.

People were drinking and dancing around. Enjoying themselves and eating. The beach had pink neon lights and some were in their beach wear. She was looking around this world and walking with Manik.

She was aware of such things happening in the world but she have never experienced this. Back in mangalore, she couldn't even imagine that she would be here in the future. Having lots of things again going in her mind. She stopped coz Manik stopped and than he spoke.

Ma-so here we are.

Nandini just kept looking at him while Manik said.

Ma-this was my world Nandini until you made home in my life.

Nandini still kept gaping at him while Manik spoke having a smile on his face.

Ma-enjoy this moment Nandini........and we will explore more of our colours.

Now Nandini looked around and was thinking of how to live this place, this moment. She was busy thinking when Manik left her alone and came to the dj. After requesting him, he got the song changed and heard the new song. Along with that people hooted and shifted from her front and Nandini saw Manik standing amidst the crowd with his hands spread in SRK style.

Laughing for a moment, he started lip sync the music and did some awesome steps.

Aa raat bhar..
Aa raat bhar
Jaayein na ghar
Jaayein na ghar..

He came to Nandini on this and with his fist, gently dashed her cheek and than took her hand.

Aa raat bhar
Aa raat bhar
Jaayein na ghar

He twirled her around and than sang.

Jaayein na ghar
Hai saath tu..
Kya hai fikar
Jaayein na ghar..
Aa raat bhar..

He sang this saying her to cut of her slacks of past and her lost memory and live this life. Leave everything on time and enjoy.

Jaayein jahan jahan jahaan
Dil kare..
Jaane kahan kahan kahaan
Phir mile

He moved away from her saying to live this nigh.

Iss raat mein..
Beete umar, saari umar

People started dancing in their own now while Manik kept looking at her only.

Aa raat bhar, aa raat bhar
Jaayein na ghar
Jaayein na ghar..

Nandini still couldn't get a bit comfortable while she saw a group of girls dancing and shouting the lyrics and enjoying.

Raat mujhe kyun
Jaane lage yu
Kehthe hai khudko
Badal de tu

Manik came back to Nandini and pointed out at the girls being free. He twirled her again and took her in his arms and started moving softly.

Raat mujhe kyun
Jaane lage yu
Kehthe hai khudko
Badal de tu.

Amidst the loud song. Manik spoke on her hair.

Ma-let go Nandini.........yahan tumhe koi nhi dekh rha hai..........nobody knows you.

Chand ko chakne
Taaron ko peele
Aaja mein thoda sa
Jeele tu

His words hit her. She realised that she was in a room since her memory loss. Not the physical ones but otherwise. She hardly enjoyed anything after coming from hospital and this is not supposed to be a way of living.

Toh chal chale geerein
Padhey uthey udhey
Aa tujhko laga
Du mere kar..

Manik moved away and sang looking at her but he was still holding her. Seeing him, Nandini realised that she have Manik now and she needs to find a way out for them rather than sitting and crying over the forgotten things.

Iss raat mein..
Beete umar, saari umar
Aa raat bhar ( aa raat bhar)

She took a step and willing twirled around holding her hand and coming back she saw a bright smile on Manik's face and this made her happy. She let go off things and Manik started dancing with her more after her this step.

Aa raat bhar ( aa raat bhar)
Jaayein na ghar ( jaayein na ghar)
Aa raat bhar..

Nandini could lip sync the song but yes she was now enjoying around Manik. They got lost in the crowd and were dancing crazily coz nobody was seeing them.

Namkeeniyan hain
Nazdikiyaan hain
Rang hi rang hai nazaaron mein (Repeat once)

Nandini was laughing along with Manik and this broke all the barriers of thoughts and awkwardness btwn them. Nandini felt like the old free Nandini that came from mangalore. Though at the beginning she wouldn't have done this but her life has changed after Manik. In the past too.

Hasne lagi hoon
Phasne lagi hoon
Armaan dil mein
Hazaaron hain

Toh paar de
Sabhi hadein
Gale lage
Kabhi nahi hone de sehar
Iss raat mein
Beete umar, saari umar

Just at the end beat, Nandini got mis balanced and fell on Manik's chest. He caught her on time and both their eyes got locked. Their breathes got wild and things heated up btwn them.

Aa raat bhar.. Aa raat bhar
Jaayein na ghar.. Aa raat bhar

The song ended and got changed but that feeling btwn them didn't. Nandini looked at his lips and Manik eyes her actions. His heartbeats got uneven that her shoulder felt coz she was still sticked to him.

Nandini had many thoughts again at a time but still she was blank. She didn't wanted to think of their next step but had no strength to lock her lips with him too. They were eyeing each other and their lips constantly and than she was pushed again by a man who was dancing carelessly.

This bought them back to reality and they moved away, not having a kiss. For a moment they avoided each other but than Nandini looked at him and smiled softly. To cool the moment, Manik started moving his hip again and distracted her once again.

With passing time, Nandini again got comfortable and enjoyed this moment. Later, Manik came to her ear coz of the loud music and asked her.

Ma-do you want to have something? Coz I am thirsty.

Nandini too felt thirsty and simply bobbed her head. So taking her in a side hug, he bought her out of the crowd and came to the bar counter and ordered mock tails for them. Seeing some weird thing coming to her, Manik spoke.

Ma-don't worry.........it's alcohol free........coz I know Nandini Murthy doesn't drink.

Nandini giggled at that and Manik too joined her. They had their sip and than Manik spoke.

Ma-waise meri drink bhi non alcoholic hai.

Nandini smiled at that and than asked.

Nan-so you had this wild life before?

Ma-well after you joined Mumbai.........I never got time to party like this kyuki lots of stuffs were happening around us.........but before that I have been to such places.

Nandini hhmmed. Manik was talking about past coz he knew that shutting up suddenly will stress Nandini too so he was talking about past but in other form, when Nandini was not around him. After saying all that, he sipped his drink and than spoke.

Ma-I didn't tell you this na.

Nandini frowned while Manik said further.

Ma-earlier you use to call me monster.

Nan-aise kyu?

Ma-that bully part thing.

Nandini bobbed her head in acknowledgment and than spoke after a moment.

Nan-I am sorry for that.

Ma-don't be.........with time I loved that and I would love if you say that again to me in future.

Nandini again gave a nod of acknowledgment and than they had their drinks. After that they were looking around and than realised that it's late now. Nandini had started yawning too and that's why they decided to leave now. Nandini again holded Manik's hand until they were out of there.

Sitting on the bike, Manik was driving back home, when Nandini locked her hands tightly around his tummy and rested her head on his back. The cold breeze and day's tiredness made her sleep. While having her head on his back, made Manik happy even more.

After he parked his bike and was about to move, that is when he realised that she is fast asleep. So parking it carefully, he got down holding her and than picked her up in bridal style. Silently walking in, he made her lay down on the bed and went to get changed.

He came beside her soon and took her in his arms. Nandini too snuggled in him more and this night ended well. Next 2-3 days passed with Nandini trying her best to mingle up with everyone. They went out too together and Nandini was all time around Manik.

But now she was not thinking of past rappo and stuff which is why she was being happy and enjoying everything. It was yet another day when Nandini was dreaming. She was in a light pink gown, surrounded by light pink cherry blossoms, everything was foggy and the clouds were pure white like milk and heavy and she was dancing and hopping around them.

Everything looked heaven and she was loathing freely. Seeing that beautiful dream, she was smiling in her sleep too. While Manik had woken up and was adoring her when he saw her smiling even in deep slumber. Seeing her smile he too smiled and than saw Nandini waking up having that smile intact.

Having a beautiful dream she opened her eyes having a bright smile and just after opening her eyes, she saw Manik beside her, looking at her without blinking and smiling. She thought that maybe he saw her smiling. She blushed while Manik asked.

Ma-did you see a beautiful dream?

Saying that he moved away a strand of her hair. While after he moved his hand, she sat back and spoke being a bit hesitant.

Nan-yeah.........that was nice.

Ma-what did you see? Tell me.

He asked and Nandini was shy now. Still being hesitant she spoke.

Nan-woh.........I was surrounded by cherry blossom trees and stuff.

Manik bobbed his head and than they started their day. It was early evening when fab4 were planning to go out but Nandini had no heart to go and that's why she denied to Manik and Manik decided to stay back. So fab4 left Manan alone and they were now in the room. Manik bought his guitar and asked her.

Ma-do you want to sing with me?

Nan-you will sing with me?

Ma-yes........if you want to.

Nandini smiled brightly and said yes. So Manik sat down on the floor with his back resting on the bed wall and Nandini slept on her tummy. He gave her the lyrics and than made her head the tune.

For a good amount of time, they practiced this song making a few mistakes at the beginning but than finally they were ready to sing, they were still sitting in laying in the same position and Nandini's face was close to his head and Manik started strumming the guitar, both were ready to seeing and were feeling jittery that how their this performance will come out.
