#unedited

Sometimes when some unexpected thing happens which you are sure of that it wont ever happen in reality as the harshness is what you have faced thorghout its difficult to actually come out of its aftershocks.....and that is what exactly was happening with nandini.she was not able to deem that whether is was reality or some beautiful fairytale dreams which is gonna end soon and again bringing her back to her nightmare real life.

She was still standing there as a statue...when she felt a hand on her shoulder pulling her out of her world of thoughts

"miss nandini ,you ok...?"he asked.

It was him.again.his delicious aftershave smell hit my nostrils hard and soon I felt all the hair on my body rise even the hair at the back of my neck...but soemhow controlling my self I tried to look at him though I saw nothing but darkness....

I looked up and gave him a nervouse smile...I really wanted to thank him.more importantly I wanted to know the reason behind his generousness .i wanted to know why...?why did he choose me when so many people here are more expert and awsome dancer than me..?

Soon everyone went away after the class and I could sense his presence near so I went in the direction of his colonge searing with my hands...after reaching there I softly called him..

"sir.."and he turned around...

"yes..miss nandini boliye.."he said after tuning around.

"sir..you have such amazing dancers here in your academy ,they are so good in what they do....and I toh am not even a student of your academy...then ...why...why did you choose me...?why you choosed a girl with such a disability..?"i asked him lowly.i was praying inside that plz it shouldn't be because he pitys me..

"Nandini....come...come here..."with that he gently dragged me to one side of the practice room which consisted of a stage like elevated area..

"sit..."he said and I sat he helped me ....then he sat beside me...

"Look I didn't do it because of any pity if you are thinking that. I did it because I felt that it is the right thing to do. You are deserving that is why you got what you got today....more over I have seen that fire in you, that passion to dance, to achieve something, to become something in you. And nandini kamiyabi usiko milni chahiye jisme usse paane ka junoon ho, Jo uski Kadar karta ho. Shaurat, naam, kamyabi, paisa, izzat ussi ko milni chahiye jise uski kadar ho ... roti ussi ko milni chahiye jise uski bhook ho."As he finished I was just shocked to the core he thought like that....I had thought that in this world humanity doesn't exist anymore but how come a person like him even exist in such a place jahan aapne hi apnon ke dushman ban jate hain...and here is helping a total stranger...

"aap ko aisa kyun lagta hai ki mein aapko kabhi nirash nahi karoongi...aap toh mujhe jaante tak nahi...."I asked controlling my emotions.

"pata nahi lekin I somehow feel ki this is the most correct decision in my entire life. And I know you are the one who is going to create history" he said and I could actually feel his intense gaze on me.

"par agar meri...meri disability ki wa...wajhese I spoil everything the..."before I could finish he said...

"you won't...I know u wont...I won't let you.....I promise you mein tumhe tumhare dreams tak pahunchaunga...in fact I will personally train you....I will guide you in every step...besides disability wagera sab bakwaas hota hai..you are just as normal as everyone....in fact u are special .disability and all that shit sirf humare mind mein hota hai...we just have to have confidence in our self ...and I am ready to help you with it you just have to trust m..."before he could complete I instantly said ..

"I trust you. Mein aappe trust karti hun" trying to find a sight of his face in my eternal darkness.

I could feel him smiling.

"par sir ismein aapko kya milega..?what will you gain from my success..?"I asked confused.

"nandini kuch cheezon ke peeche humesha wajhe zaruri nahi hoti...zaruri nahi hota har insaan sirf aapne selfish motive ki wajhese kisiki help karta hai...tum bus aise samajhlo ki bahut saal se mein aapne aap ko talaash raha tha, aur finally aaj, aaj jakar mujhe wo kisimein mil gaya..."he said. His words were so deep and intense I could actually feel the pain and suffering behind it so I decided to let it go....

I just nodded....

I felt him getting up...

"achha so it's late so come ill drop you..."he said

"no...no...sir its...it's ok..."I said out of gratitude. He is so sweet.

"nandini ...come on...here..."he said I think he was offering his hand...I slowly raised my hand and held his as soon as our hands touched it was as if electricity passed though my nerves giving me jitters.

He helped me get up then he was going ahead I was following him when I decided something and I stopped him holding his hand...

"sir..."he turned I guess....

"I promise I won't disappoint you....I will fight for my dreams till the end" I said in a determined voice...

Manik Provo-

I offered her a drop and she first tried to refuse but as a responsible citizen I can't just let a girl out at this time of night on her own....hence I insisted on dropping her off...then she too agreed. Then I was walking ahead of her leading her way when she held my hand and stopped me. Instantly a jolt of current flowed through me .he touch it had something which just had the power to hold me captive.

I turned around only to smile to my fullest as she said the thing which was most unexpected.

"I promise I won't disappoint you....I will fight for my dreams till the end" she said in a determined voice...

It made me smile more widely.

"I hope that you will stick by your words" I replied back with a proud smile only to find her nodding back in full determination with a sweet wide smile.

This girl is really something I thought.

Nandini Provo-

I reached home again only to her my chachis ranting and lots of as usual taunts but this time it didn't affect me much as today I was genuinely happy. And after hearing his words I have decided that it's high time that I start living for myself.chahat and Manik sir are right. My weakness doesn't make me weak but my selflessness does. This time I will not reveal about joining dancing classes to anyone. It will remain only between me, chahate and Manik sir.

Thinking this I smiled to myself. I was sitting on the bed with a wide smile today. And reason for this mile was Manik Malhotra.

"manik..."nandini whispered smiling to herself just then her phone beeped .she unlocked the screen and touched the first notification .it was a voice message. Listening to it brought a big never ending smile on her face.

It was from Manik.

"so miss.murthy tomorrow your practice starts from 7:30 in the morning I will wait for you in the academy. Be on time. And good night .sleep well as tomorrow will be a long day for you."

And with a happy mind she slept off to wake up to a new morning to start a new beginning or rather a new chapter of her life.

Next morning

Café-

"what..!!oo bete ki...ti sachhi muchhi keherahi hai na....!!yehhhh....i am so happy for you."saying this chaht twirls nandini around holding her by her shoulder.after a long time this lonely café was filled with joyous giggles of nandini.

"tujhe pata hai mein tere liye kitni khush hun....and finally finally bhagwan ne meri sunhi li....finally ab jakar tujhe un kaminon.."before chahat could finish nandini interupted her.

"chahat.."she said in a warning tone.

"pata hai pata hai...tu unhe aapni family manti hai and blah blah all that shit but leh..!ab koi sach bhi na bole...yeh achha hai.."she said .

"achha yeh sab chod ye bata ki class kab hai...?"chahat asked her

"1 hour mein hai..."said nandini in a gentle voice.

"omg...1 hr.go go go..u got to go baby..tu ja abhi warna late ho jayegi and tension mat le I will handle yahan ka...you only concentrate on your dance..."

Nandini smiled and nodded looking nowhere as always.

Dance academy-

Nandini entered in a hurry almost tripping everywhere only to smell the familiar mouth watering colonge once again indicating his presence.

"wo..i..i am sorry sir...wo traffic that na so I got late...next time I will never be late pukka.nan...nandini promise."she said in a hurry innocently.

Maniks provo-

I was waiting for her .i never like unpunctual people so yes I was angry.but before I could burst in anger I saw her running inside the practice room almost tripping everywhere.even before I could say anything to her she started babbering like a kid hell scared of getting a detention.

"wo..i..i am sorry sir...wo traffic that na so I got late...next time I will never be late pukka.nan...nandini promise."she said in a hurry innocently.

I was bold.clean bold by her innocence.such a child she is.she kept on babbering and at the last she used two worlds with directly blew my anger away that was nandini promise.ooh god how cute can she be...I cuckeled mentally.

Just then I was forced out of my thoughts by her panicked voice.

"si...sir..?!"said nandini.

"hmm..han..umm yes...its fine as its your first day .but next time don't be late."I said to her only to notice her realesing a breath of utter releif.

"so lets start..?"I said...she just noded.and went in the cprner kept her bag and then kept her sandles aside the came to the center...after that touched the floor and then touched her forehead with that hand with utmost respect which ofcourse brought a smile on my face.

"I am ready sir.."she said softly.

"ok so we will start with some streching excersises it will relax your muscles so that it will prevent you from spaining your body parts.,..."

I gave her instruction and she did accordingly without any falt and at mimes I would correct her positions myself and she would do that also with perfection.

We kept practicing...then I showed her some dance step and she practiced those and it will be injustice if I don't say that she is flawless.

4 days later...

"ok lets go one more time...ok so 5,6,7,8.."said manik...

And nandini again started dancing with the beats .she was practing from past 6 hrs continously without a break.and she was hell tired.

"no no no...stop stop stop...nandini tumhara dhyan kahan hai aaj...do that step once again...lets go one more time then...5,6,7,"befor he could complete the countdown she interupted him.

"sir...bus...ab..ab..mujhe aur nahi kiya ja raha..."nandini says breathing heavily.

"arre aise kaise...agar steps ok thik se nahi karogi tho dance perfect kaise hoga...chalo come do it one more time...5 ,6,7,8..."manik said politely.

Not having any choice she again started dancing and on a beat she had to twirl on her toes ...and that when the tiredness kicked in and her ankel twisted and she fell down on the floor crying in pain as a stinging pain shoot through her ankel...

"oh freak nandini...!"saying this manik rushed to her....

Bg music-

Tuning...

"you ok..?tum thik ho..?"he ased with concern.while she sobbed holding her ankel..

"nai sir bahut dard ho raha hai..ahh"she said crying

"achha ok...ok...let me see..."with that he checked her ankel and found that she had twisted her ankel due to which she has got a sprain.

"achha ok come with me...can you stand...?"he asked politely while she sobbed sniffing time to time...

Bg music-

Betahasha dil ne
Tujhko hi chaha hai
Har dua me maine
Tujhko hi maanga hai
Tera jana jaise koi bad-dua
Tera jana jaise koi bad-dua

"ok wait.."saying this he instantly scooped her in his arms and started walking while nandins arms went around his neck for a moment feeling her touch his breathings stopped...he looked at her face only to find her nose red due to crying making her look even cuter which brough a big smile on his face.

He made her sid on the stage which was a little elevated from the ground and sat beside her with a first aid box.he slowly took her foot on his lap..when she hisses...

"dard ho raha hai...."she said like a baby...snifing.

"kuch nahi hoga abhi theek ho jayega....i will twist it and make it.."befor manik could complete she withdrew her feet from his lap scared for her dear life...

"twist..what...no no no...nai....bahut dard hoga...."nandini said scared.

"arree nandini kuch nahi hoga...comeone don't be a kiddo...chalo show me..."he said again politely...

Bg music-

Door jaoge jo tum
Marr jayenge hum

"nai naa.....meko dard hoga..."sshe said again whinning like a kid...but this time bringing a smile on his face again as she was pouting like a cute baby.

Then manik got an idea...

"achha ok I will not do anything but medicine toh laga lene do..."he said to her softly.

"aap sirf medicin hi lagaoge na..?"she asked him again innocently.

"han baba sirf medicin hi lagaunga."he said smiling.

"pukka..?"she asked him

"pukka.."he said

"nan..nandini promise..?"she asked again..

And this time manik was all aww on her as she was the first girl who has managed to sneak inside his heart with her innocence ,simplicity and antics.

"nandini promise...ok.."he said smiling to himeself.

She forwarded her foot to him and he again placed it on his lap and said..

"achha nandini...."manik said

Nandini looked at him as usual seeing nothing...

"you know jab tum roti ho na toh your nose...it becomes totally red just like a lal gubbara....its so funny you look like a clown with it..."joking around naughtily to distract her...

And as expected nandini clicked...

"what...kya bola aapne I look like a joker...sir...how can you say that..."she ket on ranting and manik thought mission accomplished.

Bg music-

Sanam teri qasam hoo
Sanam teri qasam hoo
Sanam teri qasam

manik cleverly held her foot and again twished it making her scream due to sudden pain but this time manik is taken by surprise by what she screams..

"MANIK..!!"she screams with closed eyes.

Then after some time she opens her eys realising what she just said....

"si..sir...wo...wo..mein...i..i so ...sorry...m...meine...janke...nahi.."she was stammering badly when manik stoped her...

"no need to say sorry or feel guilty nandini....you can call me manik....aaj se call me that only no need to call me sir...."manik said calmly.

This brought a big smile on nandinis face.and she nodded...

"arre wah...isspe tumne kuch argue bhi nahi kiya ....warna toh tum toh ghar drop karne ke liye bolta hun tab bhi kitne nakhre dikhati ho..."he said playfully.

"actually sir mama kaha karti thi ki jo mushkil ke time aapki bina kisi matlab ke help karte hain na...wo humare sacche dost hote hain....so iss nate aapne meri madad ki toh aap bhi toh mere dost hi hue...and ek student ka sabse achha friend bhi ek teacher hi hota hai....so isiliye I am happy ki aapne mujhe allow kiya ki mein aapko naam se bulaun..."she said smiling solftly.

Manik was speechless....

"but when I said that I am your friend..."manik asked recoving from his state of surprise playfully.

"ok then friends..."nandini said forwarding her hand towards him knowing that he is being playful

"soch lo manik malhotra jab kisi se friendship karta hai toh wo life long hota hai...there is no going back then....you will always have to be there for me as a friend does.?"he said playfully.

Bg music-

Tumhe dekhte hi aankhe,
Ho jaati namm

"dosti doston ka saath chodne ke liye nahi kiya jata balki akhri saans tak unka saath nibhane ke liye kiya jata hai..."she said .her eyes eyes shining brighter than starts giving the proof of the purity of her soul.

Manik smiled to himself .no one ever in these years has ever made him smile so genuinely with all his heart more than twice a day.

Bg music-

Sanam teri qasam hoo
Sanam teri qasam hoo
Sanam teri qasam

"ok then friends."he said shaking his hand with her and they both smiled looking at eachother ,while nandini tries to look beyond the darkness to see him smiling but in vain.

"achha ok miss friend lets put a break on our practice today aaj ke liye its enough come I will drop u and as aaj humari new new friendship start hui hai so how about an icecream party.?"manik asked happily as he was also hell excited as he also had never had genuine friends...people become friends with him only to fulfill their selfish reasons but now that he has got an actual genuine friend he feels like being on top of the world.

Nandini smiles and nods .

"ok then here I'll help u..."with that he put his one arm around her and supported her to stand up as still now her leg was a little swelled.

She was smiling all the time while he supported her with his body and they walked out towards his car.

Next day...

It was scorching as sun was in its full glory.and here she was standing by the road side...trying to find a auto but no one was ready to stop only.

Nandini- aiyaapaa...!what should I do now...koi auto bhi nahi mil ri....kya karun..?agar aaj bhi late ho gayi tab to manik mujhe...no no no nandini...focus...focus nandini focus you can do this...

Bg music-

Hua..ye kya..hashar mera
Judaa..hua..sabar mera

Manik was passing by in his car when he say nandini standing by the road side blabbering to her selflooking up and folding her hands praying....this brought a smile on his face she was indeed the cutest creature on earth.he stoped his car in front of her and lowerd his window and hearing her bekering came to know that she was trying to get lift but was not able to.

As soon as he lowered his window his strong colonge nandinis senses and due to the familiar fraganance she instantly came to know who it was....

"manik?"she asked...

Taking him by surprise.

"how did u know I toh havent said anything till yet..?"he asked astonished

Bg music-

Main tere bin ek lamha kyun kabhi na jiya

"wo from your colonge..."she said without realising then after realising she bit her tongue...

He smiled naughtily...

"achha....wow...u know me so well...great yaar..!"he said in a teasing manner.

"wo...wo...me..mein...wo...."she started stammering....

"achha ok ok miss friend... let it be..tum se na hopayega...achha come inside the car ...dhoop bahut horahi hai....saath mein chalte hain..."he said and her mouth was hanging open when he said tum se na hopayega.

"oo look kya de rahi ho ...now come inside...its too hot out there...you will get rashes...."he says again.

This time she nods and slowly touvhing the car she comes to the other side and fumbles with the door but manik opens it for her then when the gets inside he helps her by holding her hand and instantly current runs down nandinis spin...her heart begans to race ....but she somehow manages to control it...

Bg music-

Raat bhar askhon ne
Tujhko pukara hai

Both were sitting quitely when maniks says...

"waise nandini tumhe roz roz aise garmi mein auto dhundne mein bahut taklif hoti hogi na....?"he asked thoughtfully.

"han...taklif toh hoti hai ...kaibar toh auro milti bhi nahi hai...par ab aadat hogayi hai.....and aapko pata hai mama keheti thi ki jo taklif karne se darte hain god bhi unki madad nahi karte....."she said calmly with a smile.

Bg music-

Har dua mein maine
Tujhko hi maanga hai
Tera jana jaise koi bad-dua

Manik was again awstruck by her situation handling talent.what was she...god is so unfair with her still she never complains....she just accepts everything with open heart.

Then he mentally decided something.

"ok nandini kal se I will pick you and drop you...."he says...

"par manik aap kaise..."she tries to argue when he interups her..

"arre..why not me...I am your friend afterall...cant I do this much for my friend..."he says...

Then having no way out nandini smiles and nods in yes...

Next day-

Nandini is still working in the café and today some kids were there .actually every Wednesday nandini gives treat to the local kids....she was serving them whiles the kids were all gathered around her and she was smiling giggling....chahat smiles watching her....she was at the cash counter...

Bg music-

Door jaoge jo tum
Marr jayenge hum
Sanam teri kasam hoo
Sanam teri kasam hoo
Sanam teri kasam

When she hears a car honk and a sleek black mercedess stps infront of the café and nandini looks at that direction trying to know who it was and the door opens and manik comes out of the car and stands watching the adorable view infront of him i.e nandini with the kids...while leaning on to his car....with his arms folded across his chest...

Nandini immediately comes to know who is is due to the sudden change in the air and smiles to her fullest ....

While some kids run towards manik excited to see him there....

Bg music-

Tumhe dekhte hi aankhe
Ho jaati namm
Sanam teri qasam hoo..o
Sanam teri qasam hoo..o
Sanam teri qasam

Manik interacts with the kids and some ask for his autograph he gives them that...while nandini just smiles whiles going back to the counter and opening her apron while chahat smiles and continues to chek him out shamelessly...

"he is hot.."chahat says....

"shut up chahat..!"nandini scolds her..

"what..!?i am just stating the fact here ....waise tujhe bada farak padraha hai.."she asks naughtily...nulding her with her shoulder..

"ai..aisa...kuch nahi hai.."nandini says stammering...

"really..."she aks again smirking...

While nandini says...

"I don't know what you are talking about...mu...mujhe late ho raha hai...I have to go chal bye.."saying this she rushes out to hide her blushing...

While chahat giggles shaking her head...

After a week...

Like this a week passed and with this week manik and nandini were good friends now...with some feeling which were yet to be discovered.

Bg music-

Tuning...

All students left the academy some were there now.those some were nandinis friends now.they have started to accept her by heart and some of them are as usual brats. She was observing manik from a quit long time...he was upset about something.he used to always be busy in something ...now a days she often hard him shout on his staff for everything .she felt as if he was venting his frustration of something on other.

After sometime the leftover students also left the academy only nandini was left .as today all the students had late pactice hence the dinner also was arranged in the academy itself.

She was rehersing her steps when she heard manik was again screaming on someone over the phone...

"I don't know anything...I want all the work done by tommorow...mr.kapoor how unprofessional it is..how come ab tak set abhitak taiyaar nahi hue...1 hafte mein muhurat hai and we havent even started shooting the song...."he screams angrily on the phone...

His pa...come to him ..

"si...sir...wo..wo..aapka dinner..."he says scared to death..

"kya hai...!mujhe nahi khana...just get out before I slaughter you....!!"he screams his lungs out in anger....he was seeing evrything read due his anger...

The pa literally ran for his life when nandini stopped him and gestured him to pass her the plate....so he did and left...

Manik was still screaming on the phone when he someone snatched aways his phone and disconnected the call....

"that the hell..!!"he screamed and looked around only to find nandini...

Bg music-

Nasha..tera..dil ko laga
Dena..nahi..mujhko daga

"nadini tu..."before he could complete nandini put her finger on his lips and gestured to keep quiet...manik was still angry...h e was somehow controlling not to blast...

he pulled him with her the slowly reached the stage side and made him sit and them sat beside him...

bg music-

Main teri adat ka maara
Hai kya meri khata

"nandini...plz just...don't right now I am really angry..."he said controlling..

"shh....here eat..."she said forwarding the spoon filled with food towards his mouth..

"I don't want it..."he says angrily...

But nandini forcefully makes him have it while manik glares at her angrily...

"manik..i know work is important ...but that doesn't mean ki aap usska stress and frustration khanne pe nikalo...kaam important hai lekin uske saath food bhi utna hi important hai....if u wont eat how will you get energy to work...hmm..?agar aap apni hi health kharab karloge then how will you guid all of us...?"she says trying to make him understand...

Bg music-

Tere bin namumkin
Apna guzara hai

"mama humesha keheti thi ki....humein kabhi bhi aapna gussa ya stress khane par nahi utarna chahiye...warna maa arnapurna gussa ho jati nai..."she say and again feeds him another spoon and this time manik calms down a litte and by her this statement he is literally socked...

Bg music-

Har dua me maine
Tujhko hi maanga hai

"mom bhi mujhse humesa yahi keheti thein..."he says...looking at her lovingly...

"achha iska matlab aunty ko bhi pata tha ki unka beta kitna stubborn hai tabhi she also used to say the same thing to you.."she says naughtily and starts giggling....

Bg music-

Tera jaana jaise koi baddua
Door jaoge jo tum
Marr jayenge hum
Sanam teri kasam hoo..o

While maniks looks at her lovingly...

"so miss friend you have actually managed to calm me down...."he says...while nandini smiles at him sweetly...

Bg music-

Tumhe dekhte hi aankhe
Ho jaati namm

Sanam teri qasam hoo..o

"manik don't take too much stress everything will be ok..."she says to sooth him...

Maniks hmms...

"achha ok now come I'll drop you..."he says and with that they leave unknown that there is smothing big waiting for them which is going to change evrything....mostly for nandini as he world was going to turn upside down now....
