Part 4

*******Nandini's apartment

" so baby doll ready for tomorrow?? " Sriya returned from her work station and asked her best friend seeing the room a big mess with lots of cloths and accessories.

" kahan ?? " Nandini came out with another dress wrapping herself messily up.

" Yeh kya haal banake rakhkha hai ? What's all this mess? " Sriya exclaimed.

" I did not understand what I am gonna wear tomorrow ? " Nandini started cring childishly.

" that's why you have picked up all the changes from cupboard ? " Sriya asked rolling her eye balls.

" wohi toh. ... " Nandini replied

" I don't have any good dress to wear. "
she shed babyish tears. She then turned to the big poster of Rock star Manik Malhotra and cried

" sorry Manik you have to bear my old stingy cloths on our first date tomorrow. Please baby sorry haan. But next time good cloths pakka "

she then kissed the poster exactly on the mole of Manik which he had on the up left corner of his upper lips.

" Date ? " Sriya was about to enter into the loo to freshen up but hearing Nandini she turned back and surprisingly asked.

" Yaah Date . " Nandini casually answered still struggling with the cloths.
Then sensing her friend's arose tensed marks on forehead she replied " Aree tomorrow first time I am going to see him face to face so hua na it's my first date ? "

" ohh bhagwan ji. !!!! " Sriya, her best friend sighed in irritation seeing the increasing craziness of her friend day by day for that Infamous Rock star.

" Why are you just standing and looking at me like this??? Help na in selecting. " Nandini retorted.

" haan haan. .. bus wohi toh baki hai karne ko. Only that important work I have in my life left na. " Sriya sarcastically said and dug herself busy selecting a suitable dress for her friend's so called ' first date '.

After struggling for two long hours they finally selected a white kurti with blood red border and red churider and dupatta. " perfect. " they both exclaimed in happiness.

" okk let's sleep now otherwise you have to go tomorrow with big dark circles around your eyes. " Sriya stated.

" No no no... I can't go with those dirty circles. I am going to sleep . " said a panicked Nandini and jumped on her bed. Sriya smiled and they both fell on bed for getting beauty sleep.

*******Same night a posh  disco bar of Mumbai

" hey guys look who is here The Rock star Manik Malhotra. " the dj announced and all started cheering their loudest to welcome their favorite rock star.
Manik was now very much aware of his famous status. He knew very well what impact he had on his only a little appearance.
He sat on the corner of the bar especially reserved for him . One brunch of fans girls of him came and started wishing their loves and all. But he was least interested. He just plastered a fake smile. As he knew girls went gaga over him. And he just enjoyed his stardom as it helped him to forget how lonely he was.
Disco, parties,  concerts, drinks,  healthy little flirting were the path of his life .

Then one girl requested him to dance and he just got up and moved with the flow and started dancing. On the dance floor two three girls were approaching themselves towards him. Among them one crazy fan girl literally throwing herself to him with her over cozy dancing moves. At first he ignored and danced but when the girls started crossing their limits by touching and kissing him cozily and before situation became uncontrolled he just stepped out of the bar pushing those girls aside from him .

Thats Him...Manik Malhotra. He was famous..he was ridiculously rich... he was arrogant.. he was rude.. he was egoistic.. he was carefree but not character free.
He loved his stardom, madness of fans but he never allowed any of the girls towards his heart. Though he kissed he flirted with lots of female fans Co stars but that's it as he had never walked far with them crossing the line of controls. It was like some where down in the line he was still waiting for the appropriate person silently to cross the lines and made her his forever.

******Late night... Manik's Mansion

Manik reached home and threw himself on the super soft bed. He was blankly looking at the ceiling without blinking his eyes. Abruptly a lone tears came out of his over arrogant eyes .

" who is me? What is my identity ? Why I couldn't take advantages of my star status ? " he was asking himself.

For the entire world he was Manik Malhotra the dark infamously famous rock star...a monster a arrogant spoil brat.
But when that monster entered into his den he became the real hidden vulnerable Manik...... just Manik who's life was full of pain loneliness and who was searching for his solace.

He was famous. Uncountable people loved him. Ready to throw themselves on his one signal but that love madness they had for that Rockstar not for the actual Manik. So his eyes.. his heart were Searching for that person who would snatched away his all sorrow darkness loneliness and gave him a life full of pure love he was craving for since long ago. He closed his eyes and suddenly that girl's face flushed in front of him without knocking. From last few days that face and her mellifluous voice were started haunting his subconscious mind. Unknowingly he started feeling an unknown but strong magnetic pull towards that girl.

So Tomorrow it was the another reason of his SPACE visit . He wanted to see that face clearly. It was the very first time he was longing or craved of someone's face.With that hope finally his eyebrows met and he went for a slumber.

*********Same late night.

Nandini was tossing on her bed. Sleep went far away from her eyes. She was restless... restless to meet HIM. To see HIM for the very first time personally. She was thinking of him when one thought stroke her. She sneaked out of bed and stood in front of the giant poster of Manik in no time.

" pata hai Manik kuch Dino pahele na I felt your presence in our college. As I informed you before that the feel that attraction were so strong na that I couldn't help myself but thinking of you. You know that day a strong magnetic pull was pulling me towards the window door towards that 6 feet person. And I didn't know why but I thought I felt it was YOU standing there. And you know the best part was the red cap. It was exactly same of that one you had wore last year on your pune concert I have watched through TV. Manik it was you kya ???? So mad I am na tum kaise Ho sakte ho? You won't be showing up in random place that too without getting mobbed. Hain na ? But I don't know my heart still believes that it was you. But you know something,, I am really feeling k tomorrow kuch achcha hone wala hai. Tomorrow something gonna be happen very good Manik. I do feel it. Jo v ho chalo good night as Tomorrow is the big day . And Mr Malhotra. ... intejar ki ghari khatam. No more searching from tomorrow. "

She winked and kissed his poster and went for a peaceful sleep for welcoming that ' D day ' tomorrow.
