Love will Find The way

Chapter 31- First Kiss

Nandini's POV:

I didn't know why Manik is so upset. ''Ye letter mujhe do, I will give to Navya'' I asked him what he was not ready to give it. He had already hurt Navya and now he is not giving it too. ''Is this what you were writing at the airport?'' he asked me. This means he knew I was writing. ''Ye nahi main script hi likh rahi thi, Navya was telling and I wrote accordingly'' I said. Does this mean Manik did not read the script, ye tho aur bhi bahut problem ho gaya. ''Did you read the script Manik?'' I asked him nervously. ''Nahi, why everyone is asking about the script? Don't we read it every time before shoot? What's so important about it'' he asked innocently. I guess he just read the letter.

''So, did you assume that I wrote the letter?'' I asked and he said yes instantly. How could he think of me like this. ''I wish ki tum ye script bhi ek aur baar padh le'' I left from there. I thought Manik said yes to the shoot and that's why I came here. Mujhe Cabir se abhi baat karna hoga. But usse bhi pehle mujhe Navya se baat karni hogi. ''Navya'' I called her. ''Sorry, I didn't know that you have put the letter in the script copy'' I apologized Navya I should have checked it before giving it to Manik. ''No Nandini, teri galti kuch nahi hai, I thought I will give it to Cabir but couldn't thought of you giving it to Manik'' Navya said. ''I will get that letter from him anyway'' I assured Navya. ''No, we will not disturb Manik, but I'm afraid how will he react if he reads the script'' Navya is right. Ye letter tho kuch bhi nahi hai agar wo script padh liya tho aur gussa ho jayega. 

''He didn't read the script Cabir'' I said to Cabir. Navya and Aryaman are also with us. ''Hume clearly communicate karna tha, misunderstanding ke wajhe se ye sab dekhna pada'' Aryaman said. ''Jab maine usse poocha tho usne kaha ki padh liya, he also said he needs time'' Cabir said. Me and Navya, we looked at each other. ''But the point is, ab hum usko kaise manayenge'' Cabir said again. ''I know a way'' Aryaman said after giving it a thought. ''What?'' me, Navya and Cabir asked all at once. ''Wo tum log mujhpe chod do!'' he said in his usual cool and calm tone. What is he up to now? I can't imagine Manik's face after reading it.

Manik's POV: 

What the heck? What's going on their mind? Is Cabir on Weed while writing this? Tabhi tho ye mujhse itne baar pooch raha hai, it's high time that I should confront him now. I searched for Cabir and here he is having a personal meeting session with Nandini, Aryaman and Navya. ''Cabir'' I almost shouted at him losing my temper. Everyone stood up as I came. I think they were expecting the same reaction from me. It was so evident on their face. ''Is this what you want me to read?'' I threw the script copy on the table there. ''Manik, listen I can explain'' Cabir said but I'm in no mood to listen. 

''How could you justify a kiss scene, even without my consent?'' I asked him. It was clearly not there in the script when he first narrated to me. The basic story line of this cinema is an eternal love story of a couple where hero dies in the end. Out of nowhere, he now wrote a kiss scene. ''Manik, I have improvised a bit'' he said as simple as that. ''And you thought I will do it as simple as you said it'' I asked him out of disbelief. ''That is why I sent you the script beforehand but my bad, it didn't reach you on time'' Cabir said. Right, even he is not responsible as he didn't knew that I didn't read it. But Nandini ko pata tha, then I looked at her. She looked down immediately. ''Nandini, you are the one who wrote it right?'' I asked her but she didn't look at me. ''Yes Manik, but I thought you said Ok'' she said. ''Nandini ki galti nahi hai, even we tried hard to make her accept it'' Navya intervened. ''But ye idea kis ka hai, is it even necessary? Many times hum formally bol dete ki script ke demand ke anusaar humne ye scene kiya, but would script really demand kiss scenes?'' I asked them.

''Manik, you have already done few kiss scenes in your earlier movies, there is no No-Kiss clause in either of your agreements, moreover this scene comes as a dream sequence, I mean why not, mujhe green signal already mil chuka bhi hai'' he said. ''Green signal?'' I asked. ''Dhruv suggested that we should go ahead with this script'' he said. ''Manik, someone wants to speak with you'' Aryaman said giving me his phone. I stepped aside taking his phone. ''Manik'' Siya spoke from the other side. ''Aryaman and Dhruv told me everything'' she calmly said. ''So everyone except me knew all about this, why was only I kept in darkness all this while'' I asked her. ''Because we know you wouldn't accept'' she was quick to answer. ''And what makes you all think I will accept now, because I don't have any option'' I asked her. ''Manik, aisa nahi hai, please meri baat suno'' she was saying something.
