Nandini woke up first to see Manik sleeping at the corner of the bed. She turned and saw the time. The sun was going to break. She quickly got up, brushed and got coffee for her self. She shifted opened the window and went and sat into the balcony. Just before the sun broke she felt Manik sit besides her
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" he said and she smiled looking at the sun rise.
"It is" she agreed. Manik smiled looking at the sunset and then he causally turned to look at her, she was looking at the sun with smile. She looked beautiful. He kept staring at her for a second.
"Chale?" Nandini asked turning to him
"Chale? Hume ghumna bhi hai na" she said and he nodded. Nandini took a bath and then Manik. Manik was ready and waiting for Nandini to come. Manik was wearing a similar clothes to what Ranbir was wearing in Matargshti song. And when he saw Nandini he grinned she was also wearing a blue one piece with white shirt. Nandini noticed Manik and they both sarted to laugh looking at each other.
"So we are the same kind of weird" Manik said and Nandini nodded
"Challe" Manik asked her and she nodded. They both left and roamed around the streets first then Manik took her to the same valley where Matargshti was shot. The beautiful cave like valley. They clicked pictures of each other.
"Ek saath le, ghar behjne honge na" Manik said and Nandini nodded. They took their pictures together. It was very awkward at first. Then Nandini looked at him and said "Manik mujhe acche photos chahiye" he looked at her and this what he wanted to say "So you can touch me, but acche pose lijiye" she said and he nodded. They both clicked many pictures together as Nandini had brought some thing that helped the phoen to stick to walls or surfaces and so they didn't needed to ask others to click their pictures but clicked it with their liking.
They were having dinner in some local cafe when Nandini got a call from Neyonika. Manik saw her telling brief highlights to her. All the while Manik was observing her. She was a chatter box. Having dinner they came back to their suite and went to sleep.
Late afternoon they took a flight and went to Greece. Landing in Greece they directly went to their hotel suite and slept. Nandini was in deep sleep when she heard her phone ring
"Nandini" Manik said asking her to answer her phone. Nandini opened her eyes to see Manik sleeping on his side. She looked for her phone and found it, she saw the caller and hung up. She kept her phone on flight mode and slept. In middle of night she held on to Manik's arm again. Manik shifted closer to her in his sleep and she mumbled something but that was not clear.
Their stop in Greece was for four days. They explored the beautiful city.
"Nandini" Manik said "Hiking par chalogi?" he asked and she excitedly agreed. Manik smiled as he booked their hike with a your group. Nandini was talking to the group of hikers, many asked her why she had her hands painted and she told them that it was mehndi or heena and was used on decorating hands at special auspicious occasion. At night when they were campaigning Manik came and sat next to her. She smiled at him, he smiled back
"Iss mein mera naam hai?" he asked hesitant and she looked at him. He pointed to her hands
"Hai" she told him
"Main dhundu?" he asked and was going to hold her hand but stopped before you touching her "Dhundu?" he asked looking at her. Nandini smiled at him and gave him his hands. Manik started to seech for her name. "Kaha hai?" he said not finding it at all "Sach bol rahi ho ki nahi?" he asked her
"Sach bol rahi hu, dono haathon mein hai" she told him. He moved her hands front and back and front at back. While looking for it Manik started to move his finger on her hands. Nandini got lost looking at him. She got the same feeling, her stamach droppings and her gut leaping up. She looked away and then Manik found the one on her right hand
