"Nandini think of me all night" manik started his bike and went away leaving Nandini smile.

All night both had hard time to sleep, both are thinking about each other, laughing smiling pouting and even smirking at their own thoughts which are running in mind.

Next day morning Manik came to college, it's fresh morning fresh feelings fresh emotions. He brought a red rose from his garden. Nandini have long hair. She plates neatly and some times leaves them free. When he was coming to college, his eyes fell on fresh rose he plucked it and kept in his pocket securely.

Manik kept the rose in the desk of Nandini. He smiled when he touched her place "so she knows what I feel, and she is ok with it, means she too feel same?" This question made him more happy.

Nandini came to class, she is wearing a cute tang top and jeans hair made as messy bun. She looked so cute.

Manik looked at himself, and smiled he too wearing blue jeans and white shirt. When Nandini looked at him her face fell down as she felt Manik is dam attractive and handsome. Where as Manik felt Nandini is cute like a soft doll.

Manik is continuously looking at Nandini he off shoulder crop top is giving him best access to look at her her soft silky smooth shoulders, he felt sudden urge to touch them and feel her skin, then all of sudden he felt worst of himself feeling in such a way.

He saw Mukthi and Alya wear more exposing dresses but never felt in such a way then why he is feeling it Now was his confusion. "She always make me go crazy and land up in deep confusion, why so?" Manik questioned himself.

She took her place when she was about to keep her belonging in desk she found rose. A single rose 🌹 which she liked much. She took it and smiled then turned towards Manik. He is admiring her face, she smiled a little he to did same. She took rose touched it softly, "does he really have feelings for me or it's just attraction? How to find out? How to know that? Mostly why do I feel for him? Is it just attraction as dad said? If so what should I do? How to control my feelings? Why to control in first place when they are so special and warm in heart? She questioned herself

In lunch hour, fab5 are enjoying there time chatting on many things, Nandini and navya entered, seeing them cabir called "Nandini come here join us"

Puche jo koi meri nishaani
Rang hina likhna
Gore badan pe
Ungli se mera naam ada likhna

Kabhi kabhi aas paas chand rehta hai
Kabhi kabhi aas paas shaam rehti hai

Aao naaaaa aaao naaaaa
Jehnum mein beh lenge
Vadi ke masuam bhi
Ek din to badlenge

Kabhi kabhi aas paas chand rehta hai
Kabhi kabhi aas paas shaam rehti hai

Aau to subha jao to mera naam saba likhna
Burf pade to burf pe mera naam dua likhna
Zara zara aag vaag pass rehti hai
Zara zara kangde ke aacha rehti hai

Kabhi kabhi aas paas chand rehta hai
Kabhi kabhi aas paas shaam rehti hai

Raatein bunjhane
Tum aagaye hoo

Jab tum haste hooooo
Din ho jata hai
Tum gale lage too ooooo
Din so jata hai

Doli uthaye ayega din to
Pass betha lena
Kal jo mile to
Mathe mein mere suraj uga dena

Zara zara aas paas dhup rehegi
Zara zara aas pass rang renhege

Puche jo koi meri nishaani
Rang hina likhna
Gore badan pe
Ungli se mera naam ada likhna

Kabhi kabhi aas paas chand rehta hai
Kabhi kabhi aas paas shaam rehti hai.Puche jo koi meri nishaani
Rang hina likhna
Gore badan pe
Ungli se mera naam ada likhna

Kabhi kabhi aas paas chand rehta hai
Kabhi kabhi aas paas shaam rehti hai

Jehnum mein beh lenge
Vadi ke masuam bhi
Ek din to badlenge

Everyone in canteen gathered around their table, Manik is lost in her tone, when she opened eyes and looked around everyone are just staring at her, they even forgot to clap, navya was first to clap and while canteen started hooting her. She felt little embarrassed and shy but she just smiled and said thank you

"O my god!!! You have fabulous voice, we are just lost in it" Druv said
All agreed
"Join our band we need a female singer like you" cabir said
"Me and band I don't think good idea, but I can sing for you guys whenever needed it's your childhood band cabir be it is as it is"
"Ok Fine But you cannot refuse us when needed" Alya said
"Sure always ready"
Manik is mesmerised by her singing talent "what more talents you have?"
"So many she is best in studies"navya said
"Manik too" cabir said
"She can dance she is classical dancer"
"Druv can, But not classical"
"She is topper of our school"
"Manik is topper always"
"Got so many prizes in science fair"
"Oooo Manik too what a coincidence?" Mukthi giggled
"So this year we have super competition" cabir said
"Yes" navya said with broad smile
Both Manik and Nandini are looking at each other trying to sink the words all are saying.

All completed lunch and reached to classes, when Nandini was about to go to class after drinking water, she was held by her elbow and dragged to near by empty class, she was about to scream but when she found its Manik she is surprised
"Manik why are dragging me?"
"I want to so"
"But why?"
"So you sing that good"
"Yes" she answered confidently
"Now come on say what what talents you have? I should be the first one to know about you than others"
"Oooo but why?"
"Because I love........, to know about you" Manik managed
"Ahaha!!!!! Some one is slipping too fast"
"You make me loose always but this I managed"
"Good one any way"
"Come on say now"
"No find them by yourselves that would be best one"
"Why are so difficult for me"
"You make them difficult"
"I? Really?"
"Yes see you would have asked me nicely but na you have to drag me and demand me? Really Malhotra?"
"Ooo miss murthy I am like this"
"Then I am like this!!!" She shrugged
He smiled "you are such tease do you know that?"
"May be only for you"
Both smiled
"I need to go to class Manik"
"I too need to go to class after all I have a competitor now"
"You should actually"
"I want to spend time with you"
"After college"
"Come to music wing steps"
"Ok"
"What if navya wants to company you?"
"She won't but what if fab5 wants to?"
"They won't"
"Done then, let's go to class"
"Ok by the way you are looking sexy" Manik blurred he bit his tongue, closed his eyes in horror "I mean ...... aha..... beautiful"
Nandini turned back stood silent for few moments then cleared her throat "Malhotra choose your words wisely and thank you" she ran away.
