Next morning Nandini wake up a little late than usual all thanks to the drinking last night. When she woke up, she felt her head damn heavy and it was also paining. She was not able to rise her head.

She sat on the bed holding her head with her hands and opened her eyes with all her strength only to find Manik sitting there in front of her all ready to start the day. Seeing Nandini opening her eyes, Manik told, "Good morning, Nandu."

Nandini gripped her head tightly with both her hands and screamed in pain. "Ahhhh"

That's the only sound came out of her mouth. She couldn't say anything.

Manik too got up and he started pressing her head softly to reduce the pain. "Is it still paining?"

He was damn worried for Nandini. It was her first time drinking and she had too much than she should have.

Nandini nodded her head denying. "No." She tried to get up. Manik helped her in getting up.

She looked around in confusion not able to remember anything. "What happened to me?" She looked around only to find it's not Alya's but Manik's room. "And what am i doing here in your room?"

Manik smirked in mind as a naughty idea hit his mind. How can he let this wonderful chance of teasing Nandini go away?

He faked a sad smile as if he was hurt seeing her not remembering anything of last night. "A lot has happened last night. Now what should I tell you?"

Nandini became more confused seeing Manik. "What do you mean?"

Manik suppressed his laughter with a great difficulty as her face was worth watching. "I mean I can't tell you everything. So, I have to do all that again as you can't remember anything."

She was getting more and more confused with his behavior. She didn't get what he was trying to say. "What do you mean, Manik? Will you please tell me clearly?"

"Wait. Let me show you." Then Manik pulled Nandini close holding her waist. He was moving towards her face when Nandini pushed him away from her and moved away from Manik.

She glared at him from the far. "Manik!!! What were you doing?"

"Why are you blaming me? You only asked me to show you what happened between us last night." He shrugged his shoulders. "So, I was doing that only." He faked an innocent face.

Being confused Nandini again sat on the bed and started thinking what might have happened. Seeing Nandini like this Manik also started having fun.

Nandini was on the verge of crying. "Wh... What... What? How is it possible Manik?"

"Ufff Manik what will happen now? You have to give your name to our child." Manik started acting like her.

Nandini closed her ears tightly with her hands. "Stop it, Manik. What's wrong with you? Why are you talking nonsense?"

"Anyways yesterday night was fun. I won't be able to forget it ever. It's like a dream." He acted as if it was actually dreamy.

Hearing Manik, Nandini was becoming more and more confused. So, she just ran away from there. Manik shouted from back, "Not again, Nandini. Be careful."

After Nandini went away from his sight, he started laughing like maniac rolling on the bed remembering Nandini's face. Then he remembered about the kiss last night and started blushing.

Other side, Nandini went to Alya's room. She was damn confused with Manik's behavior. She didn't know what to do. She was also not able to remember what happened last night.

"Nandini, you are back? So, what happened last night? Is it done?" Alya asked as soon as she saw Nandini coming inside the room.

Hearing Alya, Nandini again sat on the bed holding her head. 

Alya became worried seeing Nandini. She moved close to her and placed her palm on Nandini's shoulder. "What happened, Nandini? Why are you looking so tensed? Is everything okay?"

"Al... Alya... Everything is finished." Nandini muttered in a broken tone as tears welled up in her eyes.

"What? What do you mean by everything is finished? What has finished? Tell me clearly. I'm not getting you." Alya tried to calm her down rubbing her back.

"Last night..." Her voiced trembled and she couldn't continue and started sobbing badly.

Alya made her look at herself. "What happened last night?"

"Last night, I became angry and drank alcohol taking from Manik." She was on the verge of breaking down.

Alya was shocked with the new found information. "God!!! Then?"

"I can't remember what happened after that."

"Oh.. It's the matter. What's there to cry so much? Take it easy. Why are you being so serious?"

"Why I won't be serious? You have no idea what Manik was telling me in the morning." Nandini was getting angry now.

"You mean something went wrong?" Now it's Alya's turn to be shocked.

Nandini looked down nodding her head. "Hmm."

"Oh shit! Nandini. Now my head is spinning too." Alya fell beside Nandini holding her head.

That time someone knocked the door.

"It's mom I think. You go and freshen up. I will check."

Nandini nodded her head and ran to washroom. Alya opened the room door and was shocked to see Manik standing there.

"Good morning." Manik smiled seeing her.

"Good... Good morning." Alya was shocked seeing him. She was not expecting him to be there.

"Alya, where is Nandini?" Manik asked looking around as he failed to spot her anywhere. He went in and looked here and there to find Nandini.

"Nandini is in washroom. I mean she is freshening up."

Seeing Alya worried Manik smiled and asked, "Did Nandini tell you something?"

Alya nodded her head and sat on the bed.

Manik laughed and sat beside Alya, then told, "Crazy! Stupid, nothing happened as such. I was just kidding. Ask her no to worry."

Alya sighed in relief and punched Manik on his bicep. "You stupid, is it something to make fun? On top of that she was drunk."

"Okay okay. Now what's her condition? Is she okay?" Manik asked in concern.

"Don't ask she has been crying since the time she has returned."

"Hahaha. She is still the same. Childish." Manik smiled.

Alya too joined him. "Hmm."

"Okay I am going down. Come with her for breakfast."

Alya nodded her head.

Then Manik left from there. After mail left, Nandini came out of washroom. Seeing Nandini, Alya ran to her and hugged her tightly. "Nandini, don;'t worry. Nothing happened between you and Manik last night. Manik was just kidding with you."

"What?"

"Yes. Last night nothing happened as such you are thinking."

"How can you be so sure?" Nandini asked as she was still in dilemma.

"Manik had come a few minutes back when you were in washroom. He knew you would be worried. So, he came to tell you the truth."

"He did this with me. How dare he? I won't leave him. How can he pull such stunt on me!!!" Nandini was fuming in anger.

"What will you do keeping him with you? Tell me too."

"Alyaaaa."

They both came down for breakfast laughing with each other.  Everyone wished her. Nandini also thanked them with a big smile. She noticed Manik was eating looking at her and smiling.

Nandini went and dragged the chair opposite to Manik's to sit. Nandini's eye fell on Manik and he winked at her. At first Nandini gave him a smile showing her 32 teeth and then gave him a death glare.

Nandini sat on the chair. She felt Manik's gaze on her but she didn't even spare a glance to Manik. Manik got it that Nandini was ignoring him. But how can he let that happen so easily?

So, Manik thought for something and then a bright smile appeared in his face. Under the table he poked on Nandini's feet with his. Nandini coughed with the sudden poke. She turned towards him. Manik asked raising his eyebrows "what happened?".

Nandini didn't reply anything. She simply pulled her leg away from Manik's reach and started having her breakfast without looking at anyone. Manik didn't have any option left, so he also had his breakfast silently looking at Nandini.

After breakfast, Manik saw Nandini going upstairs. So, without wasting any moment, he started following Nandini. Nandini entered into Alya's room and felt someone's presence behind her. She turned only to see Manik behind her. She didn't expect Manik to be there.

"You? What are you doing here?" Nandini was taken aback with his presence.

"Why were you avoiding me, Miss Teddy Bear?"

Nandini threw a glare to Manik. "Huh... Don't call me that."

Manik raised his eyebrows. "Okay..." He pulled Nandini closer to him. "What will you do, if I call you that?"

Nandini was struggling to free herself from his grip but he was way stronger than her. "Manik, what are you doing? Leave me. The door is open what if someone come inside?"

"So, should I close the door?" He asked naughtily.

Nandini made a bad face hearing him and hit on his chest making him laugh out loud.

Nandini freed herself from Manik's grip and started going away.
